Publisher Description
From the author of the New York Times bestselling Stiletto and Oxford series, Passion on Park Avenue is the first in a charming new series following the unlikely friendship of three Upper East Side women as they struggle to achieve their dreams and find true love and happiness in the city that never sleeps.
They vowed to steer clear of Manhattan's heartbreakers - but when it comes to love, some risks are worth taking...
For as long as she can remember, Bronx-born Naomi Powell has had one goal: to prove her worth among the Upper East Side elite. Now, as the strongminded, sassy CEO of one of the biggest jewellery empires in the country, Naomi finally has exactly what she wants - but it's going to take more than just the right address to make Manhattan's upper class accept her.
The worst offender is her new neighbour, Oliver Cunningham - the grown son of the family Naomi's mother worked for as a housekeeper. Oliver used to torment Naomi when they were children, and as a ridiculously attractive adult, he's tormenting her in entirely different ways. Let this sexy battle-of-wills commence...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Strong characters and relatable situations elevate Layne's bighearted contemporary. When self-made woman Naomi Powell receives a message that she's been approved for an interview for a fancy Park Avenue co-op, she isn't sure what to think. She is looking for a place to live, but the building holds terrible memories from her childhood: her late mother was a housekeeper there until her employer, Mr. Cunningham, fired and blacklisted her. To complicate matters, Naomi's mother is the one who sent in the application without Naomi's knowledge. Naomi goes to the interview and comes face-to-face with Oliver Cunningham, the son of her mother's ex-employer, who surprises them both by approving her purchase of the apartment. The sting of betrayal is fresh in Naomi's mind, but Oliver doesn't remember Naomi or her mother, and he's quickly confused by both his new neighbor's anger at him and their instant mutual attraction. When Oliver needs daytime help for his elderly father, who now has Alzheimer's, Naomi's snap decision to volunteer changes the nature of their relationship and sets these two strong personalities up for a collision course. This vivid enemies-to-lovers romance digs into class differences, emotional baggage, and the reality of dealing with aging parents.
