About THEN
CAME YOU
Available March 1st
You met them in DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME. Now prepare to fall in love with THE YOUNGERS, a brand-new series from Iris Morland, full of sexy
men, passionate women, and the love stories you can’t get enough of.
After witnessing his
parents’ doomed love affair, serial playboy Ash Younger decided long ago that
love was not meant for him. With his charm and good looks, he’s never lacked
for beautiful women. He may push numbers as an accountant by day, but by night,
he’s only interested in having a woman in his bed.
Yet the night he
encounters a mysterious—and gorgeous—widow who doesn’t immediately fall under
his seductive spell, Ash realizes he wants her more than he’s ever wanted
another woman.
Following the loss of
her husband two years ago, Violet Fielding wants to focus on two things: her
jewelry business and beginning her life anew in the small town of Fair Haven,
Washington. She doesn’t have time for men or romance, and she certainly doesn’t
have time for a man who’s a well-known playboy and younger than her.
Violet already found
the love of her life in her husband, and after his death, she knew she could
never love anyone again.
But when Ash kisses
her, all of her plans and promises are turned upside down. A passion stronger
than either Ash or Violet could imagine envelops them both one night—and that
night changes everything.
As old heartbreaks
threaten to tear the couple apart, both must find the courage to see that, of
all things, love is worth a second chance.

They talked into the
night, even when the woman from earlier came by to say something to Ash.
Looking more closely at her, Violet realized that she must be one of his
siblings. They both had the same eyes and hair color, and when the woman
smiled, Violet saw Ash in that smile. It was almost eerie.
“We’re all heading
out,” the woman said. “You coming?”
“No, I’m staying here
for now.”
The woman glanced at
Violet, glanced back at Ash, then shrugged. Addressing Violet now, she said,
“Make sure he behaves himself.”
Ash rolled his eyes
at her departure. “My older sister Thea. She’s a pain in the ass.”
“I just have one
older sister. You’re lucky to come from such a large family.”
“That’s one way to put it,” he said wryly.
As the bar quieted
somewhat, Ash moved closer to her, like a glacier slowly sliding downhill. And
to Violet’s dismay, she didn’t want him to move away. He smelled so good—like
wood smoke and spice—and his muscles bulged with each small movement. When he
licked his lips after finishing his drink, her heart almost burst from her
chest. Danger, danger. Get out of here or you’ll do something stupid. Like
kiss him.
“What time is it? Oh,
I need to get home. I need to feed my—” She racked her brain for an animal to
feed and finally landed on, “Clown fish. My clown fish.”
Clown fish,
seriously?
“Your clown fish. He
needs to be fed at one sixteen a.m.?” Ash’s lips twitched.
“Yes, he’s a very
particular fish. I got him when he was a baby fish and he’s very important to
me.” Violet paid for her drinks—not looking at Ash when she did it—returned her
jewelry to her purse and practically sprinted out of the bar.
Ash watched as Violet
jogged down the sidewalk away from him. What the hell had he said or done to
freak her out like that? He knew very well she didn’t have to go feed a clown
fish or whatever it was. If she were simply uninterested in him, he’d let her
be. But he’d seen the interest in her eyes, the way her pupils had dilated, the
way she’d crossed her legs toward him. She’d played with her hair, she’d licked
her lips. She’d had so many obvious tells that had screamed KISS ME, TAKE ME,
that he’d had to restrain himself from kissing her right then and there in the
bar. “Violet, wait up,” he said as he caught up to her.
“Hey, talk to me.” He
touched her arm, and she stopped walking but didn’t turn to look at him. “Look,
if I said something that offended you, I apologize. Let me make it up to you.”
She inhaled deeply
before letting out a deep sigh. Her breath puffed white into the cold air. “You
didn’t do anything. Really.”
She finally looked at
him. “Am I allowed to say ‘it isn’t you, it’s me’?”
“That’s almost as big
of a lie as your fish.”
She gasped, then laughed.
“Excuse you, Marty the fish is very real and very important to me.”
“Marty? Now I really know you’re lying.”
