Passion’s in vogue
A front-row seat at Paris Fashion Week is the perfect pick-me-up for Brianna Hamilton, eldest daughter of New York’s most successful clothing dynasty. The once-burned designer has had it with men who care only about the bottom line. Until she meets a guy who’s impossible to resist. Here, in the world’s most romantic city, Brianna’s giving in to desire with a sensual stranger she’ll never see again.
As CEO of an international hotel chain, Collin Childs has everything…except the one thing money can’t buy. So when fate reunites him with the woman who gave him the most unforgettable week of his life, he vows to overcome every obstacle standing in their way. From Paris to New York to a tropical St. Thomas paradise—in the face of danger and sabotage—Collin is slowly winning Brianna over. But can he convince her to take a chance on a love of their own passionate design?
Brianna heard music playing, and spotted a guitar player sitting under a decorative lamppost, singing with earnest.
Collin stopped and tossed fifty euros into the man’s tattered plaid cap. A small crowd had gathered around the musician, and although he sang off-key in a hoarse, throaty tone, Brianna recognized the old Beatles tune and hummed along. She was singing to herself, thinking about what a great time she was having with Collin when it happened. He slipped his hands around her waist, lowered his mouth and kissed her.
It was a moment Brianna would never forget as long as she lived. It wasn’t his technique that blew her away, or even how damn good his mouth tasted, it was the urgency behind each kiss, the passion, the lust, the hot, scorching desire. His lips were made for kissing, for pleasing, and Brianna just couldn’t get enough. She leaned into him, pressed her body flat against his and matched him kiss for kiss, lick for lick, stroke for stroke. A church bell chimed in the distance, but Brianna’s loud, thunderous heartbeat drowned out the noise. The kiss ended much too soon, and when Collin pulled away, Brianna felt a profound sense of disappointment.
“I’ve been wanting to do that all day.”

Dear Reader,
I love New York. It’s a great place to visit (the people, the energy and the nonstop action are right up my alley!) and I love that this chic, vibrant city was chosen for the backdrop of the Fashioned with Love series. Styles of Seduction by the incomparable Jacquelin Thomas kicked off the series with a bang, and Designed by Desire picks up right where book one left off.
One of my favorite scenes to write in this book was the first time Brianna Hamilton saw Collin Childs. She spotted him across the runway inside Paris’s world-famous Carrousel du Louvre, and the moment their eyes locked, Brianna felt a dizzying, intoxicating rush of desire—one that threatened to consume her. Brianna is as straightlaced as they come, but dining in five-star restaurants and dirty dancing with Collin in the hottest nightclubs stirs something deep inside her. Want. Need. Hunger.
Straight talk?
Brianna can’t keep her hands off Collin, and when they reunite in New York days later, her first impulse is to throw herself in his arms and kiss him all over. That doesn’t surprise me. Collin spoiled Brianna silly in the City of Lights, and loved her like she’d never been loved before. Of course she’s hot for the man. He rocked her world!!! Word to the wise: keep a cold drink nearby. The love scenes in Designed by Desire are blazing-hot!!!
After you finish reading Brianna and Collin’s sexy love story, run out and grab a copy of Runway Attraction by talented, multipublished author Farrah Rochon. Passions ignite, secrets are revealed and the ending of the family miniseries is a shocking, pulse-pounding ride. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
With love,
Pamela Yaye
