2025 AMBYS FAVORITE LUCY RHODES has it all--the house, the job, and the hot husband--until she finds said husband in HER bed with someone else. ***** After finding her businessman/shark husband cheating on her, Lucy gets a well-timed opportunity for a promotion in her skincare & makeup company, of which she's the L.A. Branch Director of Sales. Only problem is, it would involve relocating to Paris, France, learning the language, and giving a stellar presentation to the retiring president of the French branch, whose job she's applying for. On a whim--and hoping for closure and distance from her ex--she packs up and leaves, arriving in Paris not as a tourist, but as a future resident. Except her experience doesn't start out well, and the French branch of her company operates much differently than what she's used to in L.A. And her main competitor for the position? A handsome snake, the Parisian Director of Sales, who was all but promised the promotion. On top of all that, she discovers things about herself she didn't know; like how she isn't as *straight* as she thought, and living in Paris is bringing out the unhinged, rebellious sides she wasn't aware she hid inside. Can Lucy settle in and adapt to her new life, all while vying for a position that might be slightly out of reach for her? And can she do so without breaking any rules--such as starting secret and forbidden office romances? BOOK ONE of the STEAMY IN PARIS series ♥
