Desperate Times, Desperate Pleasures - a novel of lighthearted romantic suspense book promotion Jan O'Hara

Their relationship starts with a spark—and a scandal.

When Mia Gibson’s sister lands in trouble with a powerful, dangerous man, Mia does what any fiercely loyal sister would do—she dives headfirst into the mess to protect her. But small-town secrets run deep, and the man she turns to for help, Jackson, is not exactly the kind of ally she expected. Their first encounter? Let’s just say it’s unexpectedly intimate and utterly unforgettable.

Mia doesn’t trust easily, and Jackson’s shadowy past doesn’t make things simpler. Yet the more time they spend together—dodging trouble, sharing laughter, and denying the undeniable—the harder it becomes to tell whether the sparks flying between them are passion… or danger.

For fans of lighthearted romantic suspense in the style of Rachel Gibson, Jennifer Crusie, and Janet Evanovich (imagine Stephanie Plum if she finally settled down with Morelli), this story offers a whirlwind of flirtation, chaos, and charm.

Kirkus Reviews calls it “a delightfully silly and unpretentious ride”—and that’s exactly what it is: a smart, funny, fast-paced romance that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Dive in for a feel-good blend of heat, humor, and heart, where the chemistry is explosive, the danger deliciously over-the-top, and the happily-ever-after well worth the ride.
