By Aleatha Romig
Release Day May 15th

A complete stand-alone, ANOTHER ONE is the next big summer hit. 

ANOTHER ONE:




*Shana*
Trevor Willis is sexy, sweet, and oh so fun. He’s also my best friend’s brother-in-law. That should mean he’s off-limits or that I should be off-limits to him.
Someone probably should have told us that before my best friend married his brother, before the morning of the wedding when we woke in each other’s arms, before I woke with gaping holes in my memory.
They didn’t.
We did.
The hilarious truth behind our crazy, secret adventure secured this handsome, off-limits man in my heart. But alas, life goes on. After our one secret night, we went back to our lives—our hardworking, solitary lives.
And then it happened.
My phone began to buzz. Each night with thousands of miles between us, we laughed, talked, and shared. And then the phone stopped ringing.
Before it did, I knew one thing...
Our secret one had bloomed and blossomed, and now that our circumstances have changed, I want another one!
*Trevor*
Shana Price is that one woman. You know, the one who suddenly makes the world more than a place to work, but also a place to live. Usually shy and awkward, in her presence I want to be more—I am more. I don’t even have to try.
She’s my one. I knew it the moment I first met her. What followed simply confirmed it.
The problem is the little hassle of the thousands of miles between us.
I tried to make it work, but each phone call made it harder. (Yes, that is a pun.) I couldn’t take it anymore—and she became the one who got away.
Now, everything has changed.
Shana is back in the United States—all I have to do is make her see that her job isn’t the only reason to stay.
That shouldn’t be a problem, right?
From a secret one to another one!
Try Aleatha’s lighter side for a guaranteed smile—the perfect getaway.
Have you been Aleatha’d?

Aleatha's "Lighter Ones" are all stand-alone lighter romances guaranteed to make you smile, possibly shed a tear, and definitely enjoy the ride! They may be read in any order.

REVIEW
Rating: 4.5/5
They have met during Trevor brother’s wedding. They called each other after, but then the communication stopped. Long-distance relationship is hard to maintain. Nobody knew what happened between the two of them. It was their secret.

Then they met again. Unexpectedly. One may call it destiny or serendipity. Now, there on the same continent again. But what happens when Shana’s work is over and she’s back a million miles away? Will they finally give their unexplainable chemistry a shot? Or will they once again let it go?

I love the both of them. Trevor wasn’t the womanizer type. He was the quiet man. The one who gets shy in front of women. Except Shana. She brings the best in him. He’s sweet, and irresistible. Shana was hardworking and a really great leader. I lover her enthusiasm at work, and the great lengths she would do for her work and her people. She is surrounded with great friends. I had so much fun with the loyal Stephen. I think everyone needs a Stephen in our lives!

I like the fact that they took their time (perfect pacing) - it wasn’t too slow, at the same time not to fast. They didn’t just jump into the bed and got everything done. But you just know THAT’S the plan. LOL. They enjoyed the moment they are together, and never really thought about the future that much. There were tentative plans and wishes. Nevertheless, everything worked out in the end. Yah, #swoonmoments right there!

Another One is sweet, fun, sexy and easy on the heart. If you want a breather from all those novels that causes your heart to ache more than it can take, this one is an amazing read!

EXCERPT
Trevor~
Sweet and tangy.
Shana Price tastes like sugar with a twist of lemon.
My mind tells me to go slow, reminding me that I don’t have any right to this beautiful woman. My mind is saying to stop, yet her soft moan is all I hear.
My body has its own GPS with the destination close. Listening to my mind is out of the question.
Her petite body shivers as I tease her sweet lips. They willingly part as my tongue delves inside, wrestling with hers.
Not giving up its fight, my thoughts remind me how forward this behavior is and how it isn’t like me. Trevor Willis is not a man who chases a woman down, pins her against the wall, and kisses her until neither of us can breathe or cares.
It’s not me.
But, it should be.
I like it.
I won’t blame the alcohol. I’ll blame my need to know it’s really Shana and to claim her for my own. I didn’t do it last time, and I’ve regretted it every day since.
When her hands come to my chest, I seize them, lifting them above her head and pinning them to the wall. Shana doesn’t fight; instead, her hips move against mine and our kiss grows more passionate. In the dark, crowded hallway, with my body pressed against hers, I swallow the soft moans coming from her throat.
At that moment, I want to be anywhere but a crowded bar in the middle of Manhattan. I no longer care about Eric’s bachelor party or my friends. I don’t even care about Kimbra back out in the bar. All I want is to whisk Shana away and do what we didn’t do before, what her body and mine are ready and aching to do.
