Celebrating A New Erotic Contemporary Release For Desiree Holt

Today we're celebrating the release of THE BARGAIN, a steamy new erotic contemporary romance from award- winning author Desiree Holt.

All her life, Desiree dreamed of faraway places and unbelievably sexy men. From baseball players to rock musicians to television personalities she met them all and each one enriched her life. Now tucked away in the Texas Hill Country, she shares her fantasies with her readers. In her satin robe, with her scented candle burning and a chilled glass of wine at hand, she lets her mind run wild — and hopes you’ll take the journey with her. When she’s not writing, she reads and indulges in her other passion — watching football.

THE BARGAIN, a steamy new erotic contemporary romance from award-winning author Desiree Holt.

Lara McKee's life came to a crashing halt the night her husband was killed in a carjacking and she lost their unborn child. Now she channels all her energy into her job as assistant to Cole Cassidy, sexy CEO of Alamo Construction. Cole's own life is a mess. A shotgun marriage based on a lie and the fiery death of his wife on the highway have left him with a child to raise that's a constant reminder of his first wife's lies and deceit. Both of them have written marriage out of their future.

But Cole desperately needs someone to mother the child and take charge of his personal life. When he proposes a marriage of convenience to Lara, who still yearns for motherhood, she shocks herself by accepting. And so these two people, carrying a van load of emotional baggage, begin to build a life together under almost impossible circumstances. Conflict builds over the child, whom Lara falls in love with at once and Cole ignores.

Beneath the daily conflict, love unexpectedly begins to grow. But at the moment they dare to explore their feelings, anger over the child erupts and the night turns into a disaster that nearly destroys the marriage. Slowly, bit by bit, they begin to re build their relationship, carefully nurturing these new feelings. But it takes another near-tragedy before they can finally get past the hurdles to complete happiness and truly become a family.

  1. Happy Release Day Desiree!!

    This sounds like a great book, lots of conflict and very emotional especially since it deals with a child. Was it difficult to write?

    This is also your first book with Resplendence Publishing, how has your experience been so far?

    Enjoy your very special day and hope this book is your best seller yet!

  19. I enjoy a story with such emotionally scarred characters. Seeing them claw their way to a HEA is very rewarding to read. It makes the h/h connection more believable seeing their progression through trajedy. I'm really hoping to read this story, it sounds super good.
