Morgan de Rohan-Chabot is Monaco’s most notorious yacht designer. A maverick playboy with a reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts in his wake. Young, talented, not to mention sexy AF, he’s also got a boatload of attitude.
In other words, he’s my perfect public relations challenge. So what if he’s trouble with a capital T?
I’m a pro. Vandana Hillman: the Queen of Luxury PR.
My life’s just blown up, I need a distraction, and Morgan wants me to join him on the glittering shores of Monaco to help him land a conservative Saudi Prince as a client.
Ten days. In and out. No biggie, right?
What could possibly go wrong?
FULL-LENGTH MILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY ROMANCE SIZZLING WITH JET-SET GLAMOUR, WITTY BANTER, AND SLOW-BURN STEAM. PACK YOUR BAGS! THIS HAPPILY EVER AFTER IS THE ROMANCE READ OF 2022.
They define a character from the inside out and give them a resonance. The vibration of a name is more subconscious than anything, but for a reader, it’s one subtle suggestion to help you envision the person in your mind.
In The Cruiser, Vandana is poised, accomplished and a hottie, and the name really captured her essence.
But she’s just like you and me- and comes with her own bag of weaknesses. It’s what makes this story a whole lot of steamy fun!
What recent character name struck you as cool and appropriate?

His finely curved mouth breaks into a smile that is both seductive and imperious. A story or three those lips could tell, I’m sure. Something about his specific brand of refined, European hotness intimidates me, and imagining his carved body without the sweater on isn’t helping. I place my handbag on the table as a barrier of sorts. Never before has three feet of wood-slat table felt so necessary.
Any closer to him and I’m not sure what I might do.
Focus, Vandana.
Folding both hands in my lap, I ease in with something neutral. “I appreciate you finding time in your schedule to meet. We’re very intrigued with your work.”
He tilts his head, assessing me. “It’s quite all right to say you are intrigued. Since you’re the only one here.”
His blasé bluntness comes out of nowhere, and the electricity of it crackles on my skin. Blithe disregard for social niceties is so the opposite of ass-kissing LA.
“It’s a euphemism,” I clarify. “The collective ‘we’?”
“Yes, I hear it all the time,” he says, with an air of dismissiveness. “Odd, considering how independent Americans like to be.”
If there’s a slag in his observation, it’s buried deeply by that very charming accent. Chip on his shoulder? More like an old-growth Redwood.
“Well, I’m sure the French have a far more lyrical way of expressing business speak,” I counter.
He wordlessly studies me during a pause that seems to go on forever, and I realize that being countered is foreign territory. But I hold my ground, and his eyes are breathtaking as they fixate on mine. Dark caramel with flecks of gold. There’s a restlessness in them, a fire I imagine is eternally stoked.
I shift on the sofa and hope it looks nonchalant instead of uncertain.
It’s been a long time since I was this self-aware around a man.

The Cruiser is book one in The Hustlers Trilogy, a jet-set romance series where three BFF’s navigate dreams, desires, and all the beautiful complications of falling in love. Loosely interconnected, each book reads as a standalone. My signature combination of heat and heart make these mid-steam romps the perfect sizzling beach read.
If you like glamorous destinations, brilliant, sexy minds, and juicy plots with just the right amount of spice stirred in to kick things up a notch, it might be love at first bite!
