Neon Smoke: A steamy second chance later in life romance
Charlii Darling

The ‘Asian Audrey Hepburn’ is what the fashion world calls her. She just calls herself lost. Model and muse Mitsu Aetos navigates the glitz, glamor, and high-rise penthouses of 1980’s NYC with street smarts and strength. If only she could find someone to share her passions with, she could get what she truly wants most: escape.
But she holds a dark secret in her broken heart. Who could love someone so damaged?
With a flash of one Wall Street bad boy’s maddeningly sexy smile one spring day in Chelsea, all of her worries melt away. Damian Cross’ kisses light her on fire with desire, and all she wants is more.
Just as she lets her guard down, she finds out Damian’s got secret of his own. Now Mitsu must make a choice between loyalty to her family… and the love of her life.

Note: Even if you didn’t live through the era of big hair, aerobics, and junk bonds, you can still come along for the ride to 1980s New York City and soak in the decadent fine dining, fashion, and absolute boatloads of money sloshing around the gallery scene.
Of course, you’ll have to dodge and weave around a shady, reptilian financier with hooded eyes and froggy laugh who’s lurking around every corner, as you make your way to that well-earned happily ever after, but don’t worry, there’s no cheating. Oh, and I hope like your love scenes steamy, because that’s what you’re getting!
