Marrying Mr. Wrong

description

I'm so excited to announce my next hot romantic comedy, Marrying Mr. Wrong, coming February 18th! It's a fun, sexy, stand-alone romcom with a cocky AF hero who's sex in a suit, and a hot mess heroine who throws him completely off his game.

I never should have gone commando in that dress.

I'm almost positive the rest of it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been dangling off a hotel balcony with my lady parts in the breeze. And of course the one person to witness my mortification had to be HIM.

Sure, today he's gorgeous, wealthy, and fine, I can admit he has a great sense of humor. But once upon a time, he was the boy who loved to make my life miserable. He no longer teases me and pulls my pigtails, but I know his type. He wants one thing, and one thing only. A chance to get in my pants.

Nope. Not happening.

But I'm Sophie Abbott, and if there's one thing I'm good at, it's making a mess.

Only this isn't just a mess. It's a disaster. A Sophie disaster.

Because after a wild night in Vegas, I wake up naked in his hotel room.

And I'm pretty sure we got married.

P.S. It's not yet available for preorder, but you can add it to your TBR on Goodreads!

Same fun and sexy romcom, fabulous new look!

description

Last week I announced that my hot romantic comedy, Love According to Science, was getting a brand new look. Here it is!!

The new title is Falling for My Enemy and I'm IN LOVE with this adorable new cover. It fits in perfectly with the Dirty Martini Running Club series. And just wait until we reveal the title and cover for the next hot romcom. So freaking cute.

Nothing about the story has changed. Just new packaging!

If you haven't read this one yet, it's a hot stand-alone romantic comedy featuring a sexy nerd and his equally nerdy nemesis, some copy room sex that will melt your Kindle, a cat named Erwin who's fluffy not fat, and some of my favorite banter that I've ever written. Corban and Hazel are so uniquely THEM, and this book was an absolute delight to write.

You can snatch up this great read on Amazon or read for free with Kindle Unlimited: http://mybook.to/FallingForMyEnemy

P.S. The new paperback will be a few days behind. Those always take longer to go live.

Available Now

I know a lot of you saw that it went live early, but let's celebrate the official release day anyway! Rushing In is LIVE!
Grab it here: Rushing In

She’s the one girl he can’t have.

With his dimpled grin and devilish charm, firefighter Gavin Bailey is hot as a five-alarm fire and twice as dangerous. The youngest of five brothers, he’s the daredevil of the family.

Until the unexpected strikes and he finds himself sidelined.

Skylar Stanley’s life didn’t just fall apart. It exploded. Spectacularly. Dropped by her publisher and her agent, and dumped by her boyfriend, she suddenly has no place to live and a career circling the drain. She comes home to the quirky, feuding small town she hasn’t lived in since Kindergarten to pick up the pieces. And hopefully find her mojo.

Gavin would happily help Skylar get her groove back—in and out of the bedroom—except for one big problem. Her dad is Gavin’s boss, mentor, and the closest thing he’s ever had to a father.

As much as Gavin loves racing headlong into danger, Skylar is a risk of a different kind. One that he’s determined to avoid.

But the line between friends and lovers gets awfully blurry, and Gavin just might find the one thing that truly scares him.
Losing her.

Author’s note: The wild child of the Bailey clan meets his match in a shy writer who’s braver than she thinks. A sexy, feel-good story with pranks and shenanigans, Bailey-style brotherly love, a rescue kitten, plus delightfully dirty fantasies come true and a happily ever after that will make your heart burst with sunshine and rainbows.

It's TIME!

description

Okay, my lovely little reader bees! Unraveling Him is live and ready for you! It's time to find out what's on the counter... and that's only the beginning. This grouchy small town boy has a BIG story to tell.

Grab it on Amazon (or borrow FREE with Kindle Unlimited) here: Unraveling Him

This series is meant to be read in order, so if you haven't picked up the Bailey Brothers series yet, start with Protecting You:
Protecting You

She’s the sunshine to his storm cloud

Stoic, growly Evan Bailey has enough on his plate. A growing business, a pack of brothers who drive him crazy, a gossip-loving small town, and a rivalry that runs deeper than any family feud. Love? That’s a hard pass. He already learned the hard way that he’s better off alone.

Fiona Gallagher has a problem. Or more like ten, but who’s counting? The trouble with her car is just the cherry on top of the crap sundae, but she won’t let that get her down.

Besides, she has a plan. Evan Bailey—that brooding custom car builder who happens to hate her father—is going to help her. He just doesn’t know it yet.

The last thing Evan needs is the overly cheery Fiona crashing into his solitary life. But her offer is too compelling to ignore.

Fiona isn’t there to pick through the wreckage of Evan’s heart. If he has one, he won’t let her anywhere near it. But the tension between them is hot enough to combust. And when she starts to see the cracks in his stony façade, she realizes she’s getting more than she bargained for—a lot more—in that big surly man.

Author’s Note: A grouchy, broody loner meets an adorable badass (who talks to her houseplants). It’s the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one with some engine-revving twists. Have a fan ready—you’re in for a Kindle-melting ride.

I'm so excited to announce the next book in the Bailey Brothers series, Unraveling Him. This book is straight up "the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one" (with a twist!) and I love them so freaking much.

Yes, you'll find out what's on the counter. Yes, you'll get to know the melty inside of that big grumpy man, Evan Bailey. And don't even get me started on the lady in his life. She's one of my favorite heroines ever.

Mark your calendars, my friends! August 20th is right around the corner! (And there won't be a long pre-order, just a short one the week of release).

THE WAIT IS OVER!

If you want to skip my rambling and just get Asher in your life right now, click here: http://www.clairekingsleybooks.com/ba...

After a week that basically took a year, you can FINALLY get your grabby hands on Fighting for Us, and read the conclusion to Asher and Grace's epic love story.

I hope it's everything you were hoping it would be (and more). I'm SO IN LOVE with these characters (I know, I keep saying that, but it's true). They have my heart forever.

And the best part? This series is only beginning...
