Only the Strong

Ten years after leaving the Army, Connor Deneau has become an expert at running from the ghosts of his past. Fortunately, as the talent scout for a New Orleans record label, he has plenty to distract him. The Big Easy is an endless source of pleasure for all his senses, and life is smooth sailing—that is until he shows up at work one day to find himself face-to-face with a pair of long legs attached to none other than the woman he virtually destroyed a decade earlier.

Music marketing phenom Liza Hardin vowed to never return to New Orleans, but when her star client leaves for greener pastures, she’s faced with a choice: the unemployment line or an assignment working with the man who broke her heart so badly it nearly killed her—literally.

The bitter ex-lovers are tasked with taking a new artist from obscurity to stardom in order to save the record label, pushing them into close quarters and forcing them to confront the obvious: their mutual desire didn’t die with their former relationship, but sometimes even love can’t combat painful secrets and the bitter realities of life.

“I did love you, Liza. Things just got complicated.”

“You thought you did, and even when things get complicated, love is still extremely simple.”

ONLY THE STRONG is the perfect blend of sexual tension and heartwarming devotion, and tells the story of two people who bear unseen wounds. This unorthodox, hot office romance is the second standalone in the Romance in New Orleans series from bestselling romance author Katherine L. Evans. Prepare to laugh, cry, fan your face, and experience sultry New Orleans,  as you get lost in this heart-melting story of second chance romance.
