SEX, LIES AND SENSIBLITY 

by Nikki Payne

Two sisters roll up their sleeves to run a dilapidated inn but must learn to work with the locals in this deliciously spicy novel inspired by Sense and Sensibility.

There’s never a good time to learn you are your father’s secret child—especially not at the reading of his will. 

With their father’s affairs laid bare and Nora’s sensible reputation in tatters due to a viral video scandal, she and her free-spirited sister have nothing left but a rustic inn in the middle of nowhere and each other. 

What’s more, they need to revamp the inn before Labor Day or they lose it all. Nora hasn’t even knocked the traveling dust off last season’s designer boots when she’s confronted with three problems:

1. She really should have watched more HGTV.
2. She hasn’t seen another Black person for miles.
3. A tall, dark stranger has already staked a claim on their property.

Native Abenaki eco-tour guide Ennis “Bear” Freeman has seen hapless tourists come and go.

When he spots two pampered city girls at his unofficial headquarters, he expects them to catch a flight out of the inhospitable coastal Maine backwoods within a week’s time. 

But Nora, turns out, is made of sterner stuff. And as she rolls up her sleeves to breathe new life into the inn, she unwittingly reignites a flood of emotions inside of Bear that he had very intentionally suppressed.

Their connection is electric, their desire palpable. But Bear’s silence about his mysterious past might turn out to be the one thing that sends Nora packing.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

There is a reason the same story can be told over and over and never get old. There are certain ideas we love to revisit. As an anthropologist, I understand the power of a well-told fairy tale and am unapologetic about my love for Romance Tropes.

I believe in building the world I want to live in, so my heroes and heroines come from many backgrounds - though I borrow heavily from my own southern African American experience.

Church on Sunday and romance novels are some of the most racially segregated spaces, as such, multicultural love still strikes me as the last frontier in romance writing and in creating shared understanding.

By day I am a PhD cultural anthropologist, solving big tech problems - by night, I dream of subverting classic literature.
