This
fall, fall in love . . .
Anyone who knows me is probably all too aware that I’m
bursting with excitement about my upcoming serial novel, THE AFFAIR. This is a
supersexy, angsty, sensually indulgent and extremely romantic love story
between a brooding billionaire and a hospice nurse. Sound familiar? Well it’s
not. As a former clinical psychologist, I take characterization very seriously,
and Montand and Emma are two of my favorite characters to date.
Although at first blush, Montand may seem like the type of
guy every man would want to be and every woman would want to have—sexy,
handsome, the owner of two renowned car companies—he’s far from being typical.
In fact, his life has been seemingly cursed by death and tragedy over and over
again. He’s learned not to get close because life has taught him he’ll lose
what he loves.
Enter Emma Shore, unconventional, beautiful, and completely
uncontrived hospice nurse. Emma knows more about death than most. She has a lot
to teach the shut-off Montand about coming back to the world of the living. He
has a lot to teach her about taking a risk and indulging the senses.
But it’s what they teach each other about trust and love
that makes this story so special.
Looking for that next emotional, sexy story that
will sweep you off your feet? Look for THE AFFAIR, an eight week long reading
experience with a new installment available every Tuesday beginning September
16th.

THE AFFAIR - WEEK 1
You've Tantalized Me
A young woman’s quiet life is upended when she meets the man of her forbidden dreams in the startling new novel from New York Times bestselling author Beth Kery. The Affair begins…
The Affair
Week One
Innocent yet unconventional hospice nurse Emma Shore has secured a new position at The Breakers, the sprawling mansion of enigmatic and dangerously handsome racecar billionaire Michael Montand. Hired as caretaker for Montand’s stepmother, Emma expects few complications. But one night, lost in the mansion’s maze of corridors, she comes upon a woman and a man she can’t identify engaged in a raw, naked interlude of sexual subjugation. Silently, from the shadows, Emma watches—shocked, appalled, and unnervingly aroused.
But Emma wonders… if this mysterious stranger is not Montand, then who is it? And what other surprises are in store for her? Night after sleepless night, she’s considering the possibilities. And for the first time in her life, she’s not going to run away from them.

The Affair
Week Two
Emma is
unlike anyone he’s ever known, fresh and surprising, sweet yet intensely sensual.
He knew he shouldn’t touch Emma but he’s a Montand, after all. Strong sexual
appetites and selfishness run in his blood—no matter how much he’d wish
otherwise…for Emma’s sake.
Emma can’t
help but feel somewhat compromised by the impulsive sexual tryst she shared
with her billionaire employer but Emma has to admit…she wanted it. Besides,
working in Montand’s sprawling mansion as a hospice nurse to Montand’s
stepmother, Emma anticipated a few surprises. Still, she never expected what
came next: an exquisite gift, an apology and a proposition—a sexual affair that
promises to fulfill every fantasy Emma ever had. And a few she never dared
imagine.
But a
deathbed revelation from Montand’s stepmother is about to shatter every
illusion Emma had about her position at the Breakers, her future with Montand,
and her own innocence.

Week Three
What was it
about a man as damaged as Montand that made Emma say yes when she should have
fled and never looked back? His intense sexual preferences intrigued her more
than she’d been willing to admit. But now that she’s been privy to his
secrets—including a long-ago family tragedy, and the true identity of a woman
who lurks in the shadows of his mansion—Emma fears she’ll be just one more
submissive conquest in Montand’s troubled life. And then abandoned like so many
who came before.
She needs to
be strong and protect her heart, but her desires won’t let her resist. So, if
their affair is to continue it’ll be on her conditions: it will not continue
indefinitely, only she can end it, and when it’s over, they’ll part and never speak
again of the things they dared to do behind the locked doors of the Breakers.

total. That was the limit Emma placed on the affair. No more, no less. And
right now it was opening her up to decadent pleasures she never imagined
possible. The effect on Montand was equally liberating. Emma was bringing him
back into the world of the living, and her buoyant spirit, freshness and lust
for life made him ravenously hungry for more. His darkness was being drawn to
her light, and for both of them, the experience was electrifying. But for Emma
it was something even more.
Lost in the
world of Montand’s exquisitely sensual challenges Emma’s beginning to feel
something dangerously close to love. And now she fears that five weeks with
Montand could leave her deliriously vulnerable, and in far too deep to ever
survive.

so dangerously in love with? He’s dominating her world with luxuries she’s
never dreamed of and introducing her to decadent sensual pleasures, but he’ll
soon walk away. When does it go beyond an exquisite sexual control of her body,
into a manipulation of her fragile emotions?

addiction Montand can’t resist, and he’s learning there’s no rest for his dark
soul when they’re apart. At all costs, he must convince her to join him for
wicked weeks of jeus sauvages on the French Riviera. She’s promised him that
she’s his, afterall, and Montand expects nothing short of total possession of
