After the Kiss

You always remember your first. So true, so true. It's actually not my first written novel, but it is my first published novel! And it's still a fan-favorite, especially among readers who love a quietly alpha guy with a touch of temper, but who's also really good at groveling.


It's the first in the Stiletto series, but no need to read in order unless that's you're thing. You can buy the ebook and audiobook at the places below. No paperback is available in the US, because this is published by a digital-only imprint of Penguin Random House.

After the Kiss

Lauren Layne kicks off her Sex, Love & Stiletto series with a delightful short novel!

In After the Kiss, the star columnist of Stiletto magazine will do anything for a story. Anything . . . except fall in love.

Julie Greene loves flings. Loves steamy first dates, sizzling first kisses, and every now and then, that first sexy romp between the sheets. Comfy pants, sleepy Sundays, movie nights on the couch? Shudder. But when Julie gets assigned the hardest story of her career-a first-person account of that magical shift between dating and "I do"-she'll need a man brave enough to give a total commitment-phobe a chance at more.

Normally, Mitchell Forbes would be exactly that man. A devastatingly hot workaholic who tends to stay in relationships for far too long, he should be the perfect subject for Julie's "research." But what Julie doesn't know is that Mitchell is looking to cut loose for once in his life. And the leggy journalist notorious for avoiding love is exactly the type of no-strings fling he's looking for. In other words, Mitchell is the polar opposite of what Julie needs right now. And, at the same time, he's exactly what she wants.
