Bel-Air Confidential

In 2172, Los Angeles is a better place—the grass is greener, the air’s cleaner, but bad guys still exist. Fortunately, so does romance.

Alexandra “Alex” Addington has secretly invented a new network device that will hopefully save a colony of scientists before their life support fails. She created the device so explorers will be able to communicate with those back home when they leave the solar system, and, as a personal bonus, Alex hopes it will help find her dead husband’s space ship.

To stay safe, Alex has kept her identity as a famous inventor hidden. A secret society is gunning for her – its extremists don’t want humanity to leave the neighborhood – and while they don’t know she helped invent the deep-space network, they think she’s somehow involved.

Erik Wolfe, her next-door neighbor and soon to be boss, also doesn’t know she helped create the network device, but he thinks she’s hiding something. However, as CEO of the leading space firm Xtra and the new co-owner of Los Angeles’ exclusive Hotel Bel-Air, Erik doesn’t have time for mysteries, much less the crazy chemistry sparking between him and Alex. He just wants his hotel open, the new network to work, and the colony saved.

Alex is also determined to ignore their chemistry. Too much is at stake for her to be distracted by a wealthy playboy. As the threats increase, though, and the colony’s time dwindles, Alex and Erik’s chemistry heats.

BEL-AIR CONFIDENTIAL, told through the point-of-views of Alexandra and Erik, is the first in a series of stand-alone futuristic, suspenseful romances, each set at a different historic, Earth-based pink hotel. If you like emotional depth, suspense that keeps you guessing, a peek at a future we can welcome, bad guys you love to hate, and characters who question if they should lower their walls and risk love, Bel-Air Confidential will keep you turning the pages and hoping for a happy ever after.

“Bel-Air Confidential is a perfect balance of futuristic tech, suspense and romance. I was immediately hooked by this novel, wanting to find out if Alex would risk it all with Erik, if the colony would be saved, and if Erik would discover Alex’s secret. A real page turner - I couldn't put it down! I highly recommend this book and I can't wait for the next one in the series.”
