Danielle Allen

Julie Murphy's If the Shoe Fits meets Talia Hibbert's Take a Hint, Dani Brown--USA Today bestselling author Danielle Allen brings another steamy, witty novel about finding the perfect partner--and how sometimes what you're looking for is right in front of you.

"I only spend time with people I enjoy. I only do things I want to do. I only have sex with people who get me off. So, my time is never wasted and my energy stays high."
Nina Ford doesn't like to put all her eggs in one basket. She works multiple jobs, she enjoys multiple hobbies, she dates multiple men.

In her thirty years of life, Nina has never come across a man who has all the things she's looking for.

She loves fun and excitement--and she has a man for that.

She loves confidence and humor--and she has a man for that.

She loves intelligence and ambition--and she has a man for that.

She loves passion and romance--and she has a man for that.

She's always been content rotating a few men in and out of her life to get her needs met. But when an opportunity presents itself, Nina finds herself in a bit of a predicament. Because giving up all other options for everything she's ever wanted in a partner and everything she's ever wanted in a career, her eggs are bound to get cracked.

Like her back.
