Top 10 in Romance, July 2021 Top 10 in Vacation, July 2021 1st place in Romance in The Rose Awards 2020 __________________________________________________ An impulsive one-night stand with a stranger leads Jules on a journey of self-discovery, forcing her to navigate the complexities of family, love and secrets as she uncovers the man's identity. __________________________________________________ Jules Prescott doesn't do impulsive and reckless, no way no how. Until one ill-fated night and a botched attempt at a one night stand with a sinfully handsome stranger. When she wakes up with no memory of the encounter, Jules is mortified and vanishes from the stranger's bed without a word. Impulsive? Check. Reckless? Check check. Stupid? Triple check. Jules leaves town for a much needed getaway, joining her brother in sunny Palm Springs for what he promises will be relaxing SoCal fun. Just what the doctor ordered... Luke Connelly is no stranger to women falling in lust at first sight when they lay their eyes on him, which is exactly what happens when Jules Prescott stumbles into his arms. Acting on it, however? Rarely does he indulge. With a burgeoning marketing business he doesn't have time to chase just one skirt. But after their admittedly adorable meeting, he can't stop himself from following the brunette into the bar... and taking her home. When he wakes up and she's gone, Luke takes up his college buddy on an offer to join him in the desert to blow off some steam. Surely that will help him forget about the vanishing vixen who hasn't left his mind since she left his bed.
