BEHIND THE SCENES – A NIGHT IN THE LIFE OF KAYLENE
Hey friends,
Today I wanted to share something personal and truly special with you—one of those real life behind-the-scenes moments that filled my heart in the best possible way.
Earlier this month, I had the absolute honor of attending Dreaming in Analog, a tribute concert celebrating the life and legacy of my dear friend Charles R. Cross (Charley). If you’ve ever followed Seattle’s music scene or devoured Heavier Than Heaven, Room Full of Mirrors, or his other best-selling books about Seattle music royalty, you know exactly who Charley was.
Music journalist. Connector. Storyteller. Relentless truth-seeker. An icon.
What many don’t know is how instrumental Charley was in shaping the Seattle music scene. As a young promoter, I first met Charley who was the founder and editor of The Rocket (THE music bible of Seattle in the ‘80s and ‘90s). He seemed like the coolest and most influential guy in town. I remember thinking, “This man knows everyone, has seen everything, and still somehow makes time for the underdogs.”
Over the years, as my life evolved from band manager and music promoter to media attorney to romance author, our sweet friendship grew right along with it. We always managed to reconnect over long lunches to talk about our mutual love of music and, later, the behind-the-scenes contributions of women in the Seattle scene—something he passionately cared about.
Right before he passed, Charley and I had lunch because he had been commissioned to write his own memoir and wanted to interview me about that very topic. That was Charley—always shining the light on others, always championing people’s stories. He even cheered me on (with a slightly bemused shake of his head) when I first told him about my rockstar romances.
Nicole Jon Sievers, another dear friend, created a night he would have loved (and pretended to hate). The lineup was insane: Nancy Wilson (Heart), Sir Mix-A-Lot, Chris Ballew (Presidents of the United States of America), Molly Sides (ThunderPussy), Eva Walker, Pete Droge, Mary Lambert (Macklemore), and so many more.
The Moore Theatre was packed with old friends, former colleagues, and music lovers. The energy was magic—raw, emotional, and pure Seattle. It was also Phalen’s first concert. You heard that right—I brought my sweet puppy who was the most popular guy in the room (Krist Novocelic and his wife wouldn’t stop petting him).
Proceeds from the night are going to the Charles R. Cross Music Writer’s Grant, to provide generations of writers with scholarships so they can keep telling the stories Charley dedicated his life to.
I still can’t believe he’s gone. I’m grateful to have known him, and I just wanted to share a small window into that moment with all of you.
Hug your people tight. Blast your favorite song loud. Remember that music—and stories—heal us.
P.S. A special book treat!

READ THE FIRST CHAPTER
Hey, lovely readers—
I can barely contain my excitement… Wistful Whispers is almost here, and I finally get to share Chapter One with you today!
This book has my whole heart. Writing Seamus McGloughlin’s story—our quiet, intensely focused youngest brother—completely swept me off my feet. From the moment he walked onto the page as a neurosurgery resident (and became known as the “Orgasm Whisperer” at his hospital), I knew his story would be special.
Pairing him with powerhouse attorney Marcella Delgado—who’s brilliant, curvy, and eight years his senior—gave me the emotional, steamy, high-stakes romance I’ve always wanted to write. Their chemistry?
Off. The. Charts.
And the twists? Let’s just say their forbidden connection turns into a storm that could take down everything. Careers. Reputations. Their last shot at love.
So here’s your first peek. I hope you love it as much as I do.
The pre-op room is quiet.
Humming with the weight of too many emotions in too small a space.
I’m nearing the end of my third year in my neurosurgery residency at University of Washington Medical School so I’ve been here before.
It never gets easier.
Especially when a patient is so young and vibrant.
Miranda Black sits on the exam table, her scrawny legs swinging like a metronome of nervous energy, oblivious to the gravity of what’s about to happen. She’s twelve—too young to shoulder the dread etched into her parents’ faces.
Instead, she looks at me with big, brown eyes, radiating a kind of trust which makes my gut twist. This little girl should have a long future ahead of her. Filled with childhood memories. Sleepovers and scraped knees, awkward kisses and graduation caps—everything she deserves but might never get.
I’d burn down the goddamn world to give her a shot at all of it.
“You ready for your big day, superstar?” I crouch slightly so we’re at eye level.
She grins. “Ready as I’ll ever be. Will I be able to feel it?”
“Nope.” I shake my head. “You’ll be asleep the whole time. When you wake up, all those nasty tumors will be gone, gone, gone.”
Miranda giggles and Myra, her mom, makes a choked sound behind her. I glance up, meeting Mrs. Black’s eyes. They’re rimmed red. Her fingers are clenched so tightly her knuckles have gone white. Beside her, Miranda’s father, Daniel, stands rigid. His face is carefully blank and his arms are crossed like they’re the only thing holding him together.
How I conduct myself now is, in my opinion, the most important part of a critical case like Miranda’s. Her family deserves hope. Trust. Honesty. We want to give them their daughter back. It’s important to coach them through what to expect.
I gesture to Layla, the nurse practitioner. “Can you take Miranda into the children’s waiting room and give her one of the iPads? We need to chat with her parents.”
“Sure.” Layla winks at me and leads Miranda from the room, looking over her shoulder with a distinct nod toward the exit sign.
Yeah. I’ve been there. Not going back for seconds.
My longtime mentor, Bryce Caldwell, clears his throat from the other side of the room, reminding me he’s in charge.
“Mr. and Mrs. Black. We’ll be using MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy.” He doesn’t see the benefit of being soft—a point of contention between us on occasion. “Lasers make this surgery minimally invasive, and our goal is to remove as many of the tumors as possible while preserving healthy brain function.”
Myra sucks her bottom lip over her teeth. “What are the risks, again?”
“Either way, they’re severe.” Bryce doesn’t sugarcoat. “The tumors are deep. Near the brainstem and the motor cortex. There’s a significant risk of bleeding, swelling, and neurological damage. Surgery is our best option.”
“Which means there are bad options.” Mr. Black chokes back a sob.
Bryce barely inclines his head. “Leaving the tumors in will make life agonizing. Along the way, Miranda will endure debilitating headaches. Seizures. All sorts of complications. There are always risks in neurosurgery. In my opinion, this operation is the only option.”
Jesus. He’s like a robot. I step in before the conversation turns completely mechanical. “We’ve gone over Miranda’s case extensively. Dr. Caldwell is the best. I’ll be assisting every step of the way.” I meet their eyes, my voice steady. “We’ll take care of her like she’s our own.”
Mrs. Black bursts into tears. “Do you promise?”
Something clenches in my chest. “I promise we’ll do everything we can.”
It’s not the answer she wants.
It’s the truth.
The OR is cold, sterile, and humming with focused energy. I feel at home here, in a room where nerves don’t exist.
Where they can’t exist.
Miranda looks impossibly tiny on the table, her head secured in a rigid frame. I’ve assisted in dozens of surgeries. Something about this one feels different. Maybe it’s her age, maybe it’s the way she looked at me before they wheeled her in here.
Maybe it’s because I need this to go well—not for her. For me. For my career.
For my sanity.
Bryce stands at the head of the table, his presence commanding. Movements deliberate. He’s been in the game forever. His reputation borders on legendary. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t grateful to be learning under him.
There’s always an unspoken tension between us—the unmovable old-school mentor and the ambitious resident who embraces a new way of patient care, yet still has to prove himself.
“LITT system ready?” Bryce peers over his glasses.
“Ready,” I confirm, my steady hands poised and prepared.
The MRI monitor glows, displaying the biggest tumor in real-time imaging. It’s invasive, nestled dangerously close to critical structures. Not unbeatable, though.
“Target locked.” I focus in. “Ready for ablation.”
Bryce activates the laser. The heat burns through the tumor, destroying the cancerous tissue while sparing the surrounding brain tissue. It’s delicate, precise work, and I watch every movement with fascination as I do everything he asks of me.
This man is an artist.
For the first hour, everything goes according to plan. The tumor is responding, shrinking under the guided heat. Until—
“Pressure’s rising,” Kendrick Lyon, the anesthesiologist warns. “Intracranial pressure is up to 25.”
I glance at the monitor and panic buzzes where my breath should be. This is way too high. We’ve been monitoring for swelling, however, this spike is dangerous.
Lethal.
Bryce’s expression doesn’t change, he remains calm under pressure. “Thank you, Kendrick. We need to manage the swelling. Seamus, please adjust the laser. We need to move faster.”
I nod, adjusting the fiber carefully and quickly. The pressure has to come down. We can’t afford a rupture.
Then something shifts—something Bryce obviously doesn’t see. A shadow on the monitor. Small. Unmistakable.
A blood vessel. It’s too close.
I hesitate, my instinct and training screams at me to slow down. To reassess. Bryce is already moving, already increasing the intensity.
“Dr. Caldwell—” I bark.
“I see it,” he snaps. “Keep going.”
Except he doesn’t see it. Not really. At least, I don’t think he realizes…
Before I can finish my thought, it happens.
A rupture.
Blood floods into the surgical field, the dark-red liquid pooling fast.
Too fast.
“Shit,” Bryce mutters. “Suction, now.”
I react instinctively, grabbing the tube, working to clear the blood. It’s not enough. It’s not working. The pressure keeps climbing.
Miranda’s brain swells despite our every effort to control it.
“We need to back off. Now!” I cry out urgently.
“No,” Bryce snarls. “We keep going.”
My pulse pounds. This isn’t right. We’ve got to do something.
The monitors blare an alarm.
“We’re losing her,” Kendrick croaks.
“Goddamnit. I know,” Bryce bites out, his hands moving fast.
It’s too late.
My stomach twists. I want to push back—except I’m not the lead surgeon. I’m the resident. I assist. I follow.
Even when I don’t agree.
Bryce finally makes the call. “We need to close. Now.”
The weight of what’s happening slams into me. I manage to keep my hands steady as we work quickly to close the incision, stabilizing Miranda as best we can.
I know the truth before we even step back.
The damage is done and the ICU is quiet in the worst way.
I sit next to her bed. Miranda is still. Machines now do the work her body no longer can. The rhythmic beep of the monitor is the only sound filling the room.
Through the window, I can see Bryce is speaking to her parents. I offered. He insisted. I don’t have to hear the words to know what he’s telling them.
“The surgery didn’t go as planned.”
“We did everything we could.”
“The swelling was too severe.”
“She’s in a state of unresponsive wakefulness.”
Mr. Black is frozen. Mrs. Black crumbles to the ground.
I look at little Miranda, who doesn’t move. Doesn’t react. Doesn’t wake up.
Never will again.
I should walk away. The job is done. I can’t, though. My ass stays planted, my hand clutching hers.
Could we have stopped it? If I’d spoken up sooner, would it have made a difference?
I don’t know. It’s too late now.
All I know is this little girl trusted me to make her better.
The sharp pull of failure settles deep in my chest.
I don’t think it’ll ever leave.
If you’ve been waiting to dive into my Hate to Love You standalones—The Hate Date, The Flirt Alert, and The Tryst List—I’ve got good news! They’re heading into Kindle Unlimited on 6/1/25!
If you’re a KU reader, get ready to binge these hot-and-heavy, high-tension, slow-burn love stories with a glass of wine and no regrets. (And if you’ve already read them… maybe it’s time for a reread before Wistful Whispers drops).
Thanks for being here, for reading, reviewing, and making this wild ride so worth it.
Big love always,
Kaylene

ARE YOU READY TO MEET THE ORGASM WHISPERER?
Hey there, beautiful reader—
You’ve met the McGloughlin brothers. You’ve fallen for their Irish charm, their alpha energy, and their messy, magnetic love stories. But nothing—and I mean nothing—will prepare you for Seamus.
Youngest of the Charming Irish clan, Seamus McGloughlin is brilliant, brooding, and so sinfully sexy that the women at his hospital nicknamed him The Orgasm Whisperer. Not just because he’s a rising star in neurosurgery. Let’s just say… bedside manner?
Off the charts.
Women whisper about him in locker rooms and breakrooms. They clamor for a chance to be his next… patient.
But the one woman who doesn’t melt under his gaze (at least in front of him)?
Marcella Delgado. A powerhouse attorney, all curves and confidence, with a sharp tongue and zero tolerance for bullshit. She’s representing the family of a patient whose brain surgery went tragically wrong—an operation Seamus and his mentor performed.
Marcella convinces Seamus to do what’s right, even if it means turning on the man who gave him his start. It’s the beginning of everything—and the unraveling of the rest.
Behind her composed exterior, Marcella hides a vulnerability that calls to Seamus in a way no one else ever has.
Their chemistry is instant. Explosive. Forbidden.
One night turns into two. Then three. Then a full-blown, no-going-back, scorching affair that neither of them can quit. But the deeper they fall, the higher the stakes.
Soon, secrets unravel, reputations are on the line, and both Seamus and Marcella have to decide: are they willing to burn everything down for a shot at love?
Wistful Whispers is coming. it’s steamy, emotional, and unapologetically bold.
You’ve seen the charm. Now get ready for the chaos.
And whatever you do—don’t underestimate the baby brother.
One of my absolute favorite things about being an author is getting to meet all of you in person. There’s truly nothing like the magic of a book signing—the conversations, the hugs, the shared obsession over characters (real and fictional!), and connecting with fellow readers and authors who just get it.
I have more signings lined up for the rest of the year, and I’d love nothing more than to see your smiling face at my table. Whether you’re just discovering my books or have been riding with me since Endless, it means the world to connect with you IRL.
Preordering is SO important!
It helps me bring the right amount of books, avoid heartbreak when a title sells out, and make sure I’ve got something special ready just for you. Plus, preorders often come with fun bonuses—you never know what swag might be waiting for you!
You can find my preorder forms here.
Thank you for showing up, supporting indie authors, and being the reason I keep doing what I love. These events fill my heart to the brim, and I can’t wait to fangirl with you soon!
Much love (and a whole lot of heat),
Kaylene 💋

KAYLENE SPRING UPDATE
Hey there, lovely friends—
I feel like I blinked and winter disappeared.
I’ve been deep in the writing cave working on Wistful Whispers, Seamus and Marcella’s story, and let me tell you—it’s got my heart wrapped all the way around it. Their slow-burning, reverse-age-gap connection is building into something really special, and I can’t wait for you to read it. That said… I’m a little behind.
Between bouncing back and forth from Seattle to Las Vegas, raising my wildly adorable (and slightly dramatic) Pomsky pup, Phalen, and hosting my in-laws from Australia, it feels like my whole winter flew by in fast-forward. Add in puppy classes (he earned his first diploma 😂) and my first book signing of the year in sunny Phoenix—it’s been a lot in the best way.
Now spring is finally starting to show up in Seattle, with cherry blossoms blooming and that subtle warmth in the air that makes you want to take a deep breath and hit reset.
Writing is still my favorite way to wind down and reconnect—slipping into my Kaylene Universe always grounds me.
How do you wind down when life gets busy?

I cannot wait for this weekend when I’m a signing author at Wild & Windy West! The event is sold out. Here are the details if you can locate a ticket:
Feb 14-15, 2025
Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel & Spa
A spicy bad boy/good girl, close proximity, sports romance from New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg
Our first meeting? He stood me up.
Our second chance encounter? I told him exactly what I thought of him.
Our third? It came with a bet (he lost) and an understanding that we’re stuck with one another.
It doesn’t matter that he’s Alexander Hardy—British soccer star extraordinaire, world-famous in every way, and a certified sex symbol. We come from two different worlds and live in two different realities. But all we need is one month.
The bet: Help him rehab his reputation to the media and the masses, and in exchange, he’ll help my soccer academy and the underprivileged kids who idolize him.
That doesn’t mean I have to like him. Not his delicious accent, his sexy smirk or those storm cloud gray eyes. Not his incredibly fit body or his sinfully dirty mouth. Not even the way he shows up day after day for the kids or the way he looks at me like he wants to devour me.
He looks at time spent in my world as a penance, while I look at it as a way to leverage his star power to help my academy survive.
But as the days turn to weeks, it seems we’re not as different as I once thought. The man who cares about no one, has fixed his sights on me. With his time at my academy up and his obligations back home calling, do we have a lucky shot of working out?
Big hugs and happy reading,
Kaylene
