Clean Break

"Brilliant and sharp." - The Filthy Critic

"The suspense and romance so central to the story reminded me of Susan Isaacs' best work, which I read quite a while back but still resonate with me whenever an author achieves that nice mix of suspense, romance, and humor ... I was glued to the story and kept laughing out loud, much to the dismay of my co-workers in the office lunch room. I highly recommend this sassy little novel." - Goodreads Reviewer

"The hope, angst, romance, touches of suspense and the heartwarming characters make this book an altogether captivating read." - Goodreads Reviewer

"Very well written story filled with humor and heart. I had a hard time putting it down." - Goodreads Reviewer

"I was very impressed with and enjoyed this romance / women’s fiction hybrid. It was beautifully and very intelligently written, with an engaging plot, well-developed characters, believable dialogue, and interesting settings... I highly recommend this book to romance or women’s fiction enthusiasts." - Goodreads Reviewer

Lane Haviland can’t seem to catch a break. She’s dead broke, barely functioning as an adult, and completely alone in New York City. Her so-called “apartment” is a six-by-nine cell in a Brooklyn basement. And her new boss hasn’t ever met a personal or professional boundary she can’t bulldoze through.

Still, Lane’s determined to at least attempt to claw her way back to respectability. But she can’t seem to get her mysterious handyman, Viktor, out of her apartment – or her headspace. Maybe that’s a good thing: Viktor’s easy on the eyes, and that deep-voiced Russian accent is beyond sexy. But as he and Lane grow closer, he can no longer hide his connections with a dangerous criminal underworld – where secrets can be deadly.
