ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 20, 2021

She’s the woman he can’t live without.

The one he can’t risk screwing up their relationship by sleeping with her.

Linc Kingston doesn’t accept anything less than perfection. Not in his billion-dollar business or in his personal life. He has it all. Except one thing. His personal assistant and best friend in his bed, moaning his name. No matter how much Linc wants her, she’s completely off-limits.

Jordan Greene grew up the daughter of the housekeeper at the Kingston estate, where she met and bonded with Linc at a young age, despite their economic differences. But no matter how close they are now or how much their attraction simmers beneath the surface, they’re still from two different worlds. Besides, Jordan isn’t about to risk losing her best friend for one sensual night.

Jordan might be the only woman who can handle Linc and his domineering, bossy attitude, but beneath that gruff exterior is a vulnerable man who, despite his wealth, has had a less-than-charmed life. And when Linc’s father dies, she’s there for him—unwavering in her friendship.

Until one night of passion and a positive pregnancy test changes everything.

REVIEW:JUST ONE NIGHT is the first instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult THE KINGSTON FAMILY erotic, romance series focusing on the Kingston siblings (Linc, Xander, Dash, Chloe and Aurora), a spin-off from the author’s DARE NATION series. This is thirty-two year old, businessman Linc Kingston, and PA Jordan Greene. Some of the events of JUST ONE NIGHT cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events of DARE TO STAY, book four in the author’s Dare Nation series where we were first introduced to Linc Kingston.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Linc and Jordan) JUST ONE NIGHT focuses on the best friends/boss-employee relationship between thirty-two year old, businessman Linc Kingston, and PA Jordan Greene. Jordan has been in love with Linc Kingston most of her life but Jordan is the daughter of the Kingston’s former housekeeper, and as such she has been led to believe she is not socially acceptable with the powerful and elite but when Linc’s father dies, secrets are exposed, and Jordan is there to help navigate the waters of a mind-blowing revelation. A week in Florida found our couple acting on their mutual attraction, an attraction that will lead to another surprise, one in which Linc’s behavior leads to Jordan’s decision to walk away before losing more than her heart. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Linc and Jordan, and the potential fall-out as history begins to repeat itself for our story line couple.

The relationship between Jordan and Linc is a best friends to lovers but a relationship wherein our heroine believes she is not worthy of Linc’s love. Raised with the Kingston siblings, Jordan has always felt like she never belonged, a feeling that would be reinforced by the attitude and actions of others. Linc has never acted upon his feelings for Jordan but a family secret will be his undoing. Needing his best friend, Linc seduces our heroine, a seduction that will lead to so much more. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of, over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Linc’s siblings: Xander, Dash, and Chloe Kingston, and Aurora Michaels; Linc’s mother Melissa Kingston; Linc’s former friend and business rival Beckett Daniels: as well as several characters from the Dare Nation series: Austin Prescott, Braden Prescott and Willow James; and Linc’s ex girlfriend Angelica Winston. Chloe’s story line is next.

JUST ONE NIGHT is a story of friendships, relationships, revelations and love; a story of family, struggles, acceptance and moving forward. The premise is spirited; the characters are feisty and dynamic; the romance is flirty and intense.
