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.

YOU
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.”
