A Smooth Operator

I'm Remi Drake, the king of Memphis nightlife. At under thirty, I own the hottest spots in town, and believe me, I enjoy every perk that comes with it. Echo is my sister's friend. She was the designated ugly fat friend (DUFF) in high school. Now, she's a cancer researcher with a PhD. She's no longer fat but curvy and sexy. Then there's that amazing brain of hers. Plus, she's always had a thing for me. One night, things get out of hand, and I pitch the idea of an acquaintance-with-benefits relationship: no strings, no promises, and most importantly, no one can ever know. Just fun. Perfect, right? Except it isn't. Jealousy and old feelings twist our no-strings-fling into something complicated. When Echo overhears me saying terrible things about her in front of my friends, she decides she's had enough of my bullshit. By the time I figure out that Echo is the one for me, it's too late. I've already lost her. A Smooth Operator is a standalone love story that is part of the A Modern Vintage Romance series. Books in this series bring back the nostalgia of Harlequin and Mills & Boon romances from the eighties with a modern twist. Meet alpha men who know how to wound but also to grovel, and meet strong women who hold their own.
