What We Never Say (Paperback or Softback)

No means no, except to the most powerful woman in fashion publishing.

Kyle has spent eleven years trying to forget how ruthless editor-in-chief Jane Stuart coerced him into bed and threatened to ruin his modelling career. But when she reemerges for round two, Kyle’s forced to confront his past—the one he’s kept hidden from his girlfriend, Rebecca.

Then, Rebecca’s anonymous blog, Bedroom Diary, earns her a coveted feature column in the one magazine Kyle hoped to avoid. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for her. But with Rebecca none the wiser, Jane’s outrageous demands soon leave the couple’s careers, reputations, and relationships dangling by a thread.

Sometimes, you have to break the silence before it breaks you.

High-stakes NYC fashion publishing meets love, secrets, and lies in a heart-pounding struggle splashed across the headlines. Addresses sensitive topics—please see author’s note for further details.
