San Diego, California – Present Day

As the second wife of the late billionaire Johnathon Sterling, Astrid Sterling should feel uncomfortable around the other two wives the man had—including his widow, Miranda. But Astrid inherited shares in the company from her ex and is currently employed there. She has been assigned to work with Miranda's brother, Clay Morgan, himself a single father. But things are tense between herself and Clay. He just doesn't seem to like her, and Astrid would like to change that. She is asked by Miranda and the other ex-wife, Tara, to attend an awards ceremony with Clay in Los Angeles, and she reluctantly agrees. While in LA, the two suddenly discover a mutual attraction—and soon end up in bed together. But after what happens in LA, will it stay there? Or will their affair resume once they are back home in San Diego?

Clay isn't sure what to think about Astrid. The former model is beautiful and smart—and should be someone he'd date, but after a bad marriage, he's not looking for romance, especially since he's raising his daughter singlehandedly. Working with Astrid closely, though, ignites an attraction that neither can ignore. Their trip to Los Angeles causes the flames to burst, yet Clay isn't sure whether he's making a mistake by having an affair with Astrid. What if things blow up between them? She owns part of the company and he is just an employee. Yet, she is like no woman he's ever known. Will either—or both—of them fall in love with the other? The sexual chemistry is certainly hot between them, even as they navigate keeping their interludes of pleasure separate from the business.

Unfortunately, in HIGH SOCIETY SECRETS, there is a pretty big secret that Astrid hasn't revealed to her business partners, or to Clay. It's one that might cause a rift between them. The secret hangs over their heads, though Clay isn't even aware of it. Will the secret be revealed and drive a wedge between them? Will Clay introduce Astrid to daughter? A sizzling and intriguing read that readers won't want to miss, be sure to pick up a copy of HIGH SOCIETY SECRETS today.
