This is an epic day. My husband, Dmytry Karpov, and I just launched our first novel together. Kiss Me in Paris is a new adult contemporary romance that blends romance, passion, family drama, humor and real life issues with the excitement of international travel.
It’s amazing to me that I have a husband I can write books with, a man who shares my passion, someone with whom I can spend nearly every moment of my life with and still enjoy being around! We learned a lot, writing this book together. We argued over dangling prepositions and debated about word choice and discussed at length whether a dialogue tag should be Winter says, or says Winter.
And we loved every minute.
Dmytry has been my story consultant for the Forbidden Trilogy and Seduced Trilogy, and I’m so proud to have him as my co-author for the Kiss Me Series and many more books in the future.
I think what I love most about Kiss Me in Paris is how real it is. How profound and funny and romantic and fun it is. There are scenes that will have you peeing your pants laughing so hard. And there are scenes that are so heartbreaking, you’ll weep your eyes out. There are life lessons woven into this story that reflect real truths about what it means to be in love, be in a family, be an independent person pursuing your own passions. I love every word in this book.
I never thought I’d write contemporary. I love fantasy and paranormal and all of my previous books reflect that. But there was something truly special about writing a contemporary novel, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the Kiss Me Series. (Next up, Kiss Me in Cairo, a romance with mystery.)

“From start to finish I couldn’t help but laugh, cry, cheer…” –Dalene Kolb
“This book made me run through a gambit of emotions from being happy and laughing my butt off to being angry and upset with the characters to feeling incredible sadness and loss.” –Sharon Hughes
When the city of love brings two lost souls together, only their darkest secrets can tear them apart.
Winter Deveaux tried love once. It didn’t end well. Unable to open herself up to another heartbreak, she hides in her romance novels as she struggles to break out as a real author. She thinks Paris holds the answer to a new start, but when her nightmare follows her across the world, she’s forced to face the darkness living like cancer inside her soul. If she doesn’t, she might miss her chance to become the kind of writer she’s always wanted to be. But more than that, she’ll miss out on the greatest love she’s ever known.
Cade Savage is heir to the largest ranching family in Texas. Part cowboy, part architect, Cade has his feet forever in two worlds. When he receives an acceptance letter from the school of his dreams, he must decide between family and destiny. But ghosts from his past still haunt him, and circumstances beyond his control may decide his fate.
When Winter and Cade meet, everything they believe about life, love and what it means to be happy is put to the test.
Will the magic of Paris pull these two lost souls together? Or will their darkest secrets tear them apart?

I LOVE your Seduced Series.
Thank you! I ‘m so glad. I hope you’ll check out my other books, as well. The Forbidden Trilogy follows the story of Sam and Drake (you met them in Pain.) And Kiss Me in Paris is the first of a new series I’m super excited about. There will be more Seduced books as well, and another spin off series in the Seduced/Forbidden world called the Fallen Series. xoxo
Hmm… I’d want it like at the top of the Eiffel Tower or at least near, haha
If I could go back and have my first kiss with my husband anywhere in Paris, I would pick the Eiffel Tower, however cliche it may sound! 🙂
Congratulations for the both of you. The book was amazing! I couldn’t put it down! I wont forgert the part where they were in the bathroom after eating the mysterious pastry. I was dying from laughter i swear! I love the story between Cade and winter. 2 different worlds met and fell in love in the most romantic place in earth.. Le sigh.. Paris!
I would want my first kiss in Paris to be on the lock bridge!
