Vivienne E. Cole

Vivienne E. Cole writes lush, emotionally addictive contemporary romance set in the glittering, ruthless worlds of fashion, media, and money. Her novels live where glamour meets danger: elite New York publishing, couture and corner offices, penthouses with a view of everything the heroine could lose.

She is drawn, helplessly, to the slow burn: the held wrist, the chosen sentence, the moment two people who absolutely should not want each other stop pretending they don't. Her heroes are guarded men with something to hide; her heroines are the overlooked, brilliant women who finally get seen, and credited.

She believes in maximum tension, an open door, and an ending that earns its joy. No cheating, no doubt about the destination, just the breathless ride to get there.

A Very Bad Plus-One, coming soon, takes the same promise out of the office and into a working Maine boatyard: a caterer, a boatbuilder, and the brother she left at the altar three years before.
