There’s a special place in my heart for Leia Scott and Tarquin Balfour, so it only made sense that I give them the special edition treatment and boy, is she a beauty! Check out the Raspberry Macarons Special Edition available now in paperback. (No AI was used in the creation of this book’s cover or its contents)
The cover is freakin’ fantastic! Artist Liz Parkes gave me all the London feels and featured two famous London landmarks—Tower Bridge and a red phone box—which…well, if you’ve read Say Hello, Kiss Goodbye already, you might be blushing right now!
And let’s spare a moment to adore Leia and Tarquin! Leia’s wearing a gorgeous green dress, one of her upcycling creations, while Tarquin is bringing the handsome in his bespoke suit with the paisley lining. The artwork continues on the spine too with Leia’s favourite raspberry macarons, and then the back cover showcases Tarquin’s beloved cat Mrs. Chuzzlewit.
Say Hello, Kiss Goodbye is my spiciest book yet, and I blame Leia and Tarquin! Here’s the description:
WILL HER FLING BECOME HIS FOREVER?
Leia Scott has sworn off love. Fresh from a messy, public divorce from her hockey player ex, the twenty-six-year-old fashion designer temporarily trades New York for London to heal and embrace her freedom. Her vow? To protect her heart, steer clear of relationships, and say yes to flings without strings. She throws herself into designing upcycled dresses and exploring London with her sister. But Leia’s carefully curated plan encounters a flirty complication with an irresistible British accent.
Wealthy, charming, and devastatingly attractive, Tarquin Balfour is tired of meaningless hookups and dates that go nowhere. For years, he has played the bon viveur with reckless abandon, throwing decadent parties, sleeping with a parade of women, and diving into extreme sports around the globe. But now the young property developer wants more. He craves love and commitment, to prove his kind heart matters more than the abundance of zeroes attached to his bank balance. Struggling with undiagnosed depression, Tarquin worries he’ll never find The One…until he meets his princess, a fashion designer named Leia.
Afraid of falling in love and fearful of being alone, Leia and Tarquin enter into an entanglement that threatens to hurt them both.
From Jacquelyn Middleton, the award-winning author of UNTIL THE LAST STAR FADES, comes a sexy story of love, second chances, gratitude, and finding beauty in the broken and the forgotten.
Say Hello, Kiss Goodbye includes own voices mental health representation (both Tarquin and Leia) and doesn’t shy away from showing therapy on the page. I’m really proud of the honest depiction. The more we talk and write about mental health, the less stigma there will be, right? I’m forever hopeful.
But wait there’s more!
In addition to the adorable cover, you’ll also receive a helpful guide to follow in Leia’s footsteps and create your own gratitude journal.
