Title: DRUNK DIAL (A standalone)
Release date: 8/21/2017
Genre: A Contemporary Romance Novel
Author: Penelope Ward 

Synopsis: From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him.
Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions.
I didn’t think he’d call me back.
I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become.
Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets.
Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake. 

A complete STANDALONE. 

TRAMA TRADOTTA
(E' nostra, Se prendete citate)

Dall'autrice bestselling del New York Times, arriva un nuovo romanzo sexy e autoconclusivo.

Mi era sembrata una buona idea a quel tempo. Cercare  Landon Roderick, quel ragazzo della mia infanzia che non sono mai riuscita a dimenticare - anche se lui si è dimenticato di me facilmente - e chiamarlo.
E poi, tutto sembra una buona idea quando hai bevuto un po' troppo vino prima di andare a letto, giusto? Doveva essere solo una telefonata divertente, veloce e insignificante. Invece mi sono scagliata su di lui - scaricando tredici anni di sentimenti repressi. 
Non pensavo mi avrebbe richiamata.
Certamente, non avrei mai potuto immaginare le settimane di conversazioni telefoniche sessualmente tese che sarebbero seguite quando avessi conosciuto l'uomo che è diventato.
E' venuto fuori che nemmeno Landon mi ha mai dimenticata. Quella connessione speciale che avevamo era ancora li. Io mi sono aperta con lui, ma c'erano cose su di me che lui non sapeva. E anche lui aveva i suoi segreti.
Durante le innumerevoli ore in cui abbiamo parlato a telefono, mi domandavo cosa sarebbe accaduto se ci fossimo visti. Una notte, ho fatto di nuovo qualcosa di impulsivo. Solo che questa volta, sono andata in aereoporto e ho prenotato un biglietto per la California. Stiamo per scoprire se una telefonata potrebbe riunire due anime perdute oppure se la mia chiamata da ubriaca sia stata solo un grande errore.
 
Il romanzo è autoconclusivo.

ESTRATTO

After that evening, I hadn’t heard back from him for a few days.
Then, one night, a text came in from the same phone number I recognized as Landon’s. It was the first time he’d texted me.
I looked down to find he’d sent a photo.
I gasped.
It was a heavily tatted man set against the backdrop of the ocean at sunset. Oh, my. It was him—a selfie.
Fuck. Me. He was beautiful.
I wouldn’t have even known it was Landon were it not for the blue eyes I recognized instantly. The shaggy, caramel hair I remembered from the past was now a darker shade of brown and shorter, cropped closer to his head. His arms and his chest were inked, his body so perfect that if I squinted, it almost resembled carved stone.
I couldn’t stop looking at him. My eyes wanted nothing more than to explore the ridges and valleys of his stunning body.
Was this a cruel joke?
This was not Landon!
But, it was.
With my thumb and middle finger, I kept zooming in and out, examining the details of the ink across his chest and on his arms. There was really nothing sexier than a guy with perfect arms and a full sleeve tattoo.
Even though his lips seemed fuller than I recalled, they still curved into a familiar grin that oozed confidence. The eyes and that smile were the only traces of the boy I remembered. I wished I could’ve leapt through the screen to smell him, touch him.
“Hi, Landon,” I whispered, for a brief moment talking to the boy inside, not the man in front of me.
This Landon was the polar opposite of the Ivy League yuppie image previously in my head. The only thing the man pictured might have majored in was badassery. He looked like a rockstar, a rule breaker, displaying a sense of arousing danger—someone who must have had women from all walks of life drooling over him for the sheer fact that either they couldn’t have him or shouldn’t have him. It suddenly became clear why, as he’d alluded to, a woman might have been begging him for sex. That made me wonder if he had any secret tattoos in spots I wasn’t allowed to see.
God.
A fire was burning inside of me, and I knew it was my crush exploding into a full-blown obsession.
A self-conscious feeling came over me. If I was scared to show him a picture of myself before, now I was really hesitant.
The message that went along with the photo simply read:
Now show me you.
