About this ebook

From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst, discover The Reluctant Flirt…

Just one night…

After discovering her husband’s affair, Sierra Lourde flees to New York City for a little damage control—and a lot of wine. A tipsy night in a bar with a charming stranger seems like the perfect way to forget her troubles. No names, no promises, just one night to escape reality and regain her confidence. The next morning, mortified by her vulnerability, she flees without looking back. But who needs closure, right?

But one night changes everything…

Sierra has reinvented herself as the proud owner of Flirt, a trendy boutique in the Outer Banks. Life is good—until Kane Masterson, the man she left behind, walks back into town. And of course, he’s now the developer whose big new project threatens to bulldoze her beloved shop. Kane needs this deal to save his career, but Sierra’s not about to let him demolish her hard-won success.

With sparks flying, sarcastic jabs turning into lingering looks, and a family wedding forcing them into close quarters, Sierra and Kane find themselves tangled in a battle of wills—and hearts. But now he has to choose: reclaim his career or risk everything for a second chance with the one woman he can’t forget.

REVIEW: THE RELUCTANT FLIRT is the 2nd book in Jennifer Probst’s contemporary, adult OUTER BANKS erotic romance series. This is boutique owner Sierra Lourde, and property developer Kane Masterson’s story line. THE RELUCTANT FLIRT is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, regret and acceptance, family, friendships and love. The character driven premise is captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive ; the characters are determined and dynamic.

Book two in the latest series from Jennifer Probst and is Sierra Lourde and Kane Masterson’s story. All it takes is one night to change your life. A one night stand morphs into more. Well written, I was quickly drawn into the story that the author wove. When fate puts them together again the sparks fly. I loved the snark and the banter between them. Will Kane chose to follow his heart or will he opt to save his career and business?
