Was excited DOUBLE TAKE SEDUCTION was selected for the #RSJcon2025 Cliffhanger audiobook narrator event last night. Sadly, my narrator got a coughing fit just as he started reading my excerpt and was cut off. 😥 I'm thinking about recording it myself for y'all. 🤔 Won't be the same, but could be fun.
Graphic with a peach and pink background and three book covers in different formats. One is the cover of the anthology, titled "TO L.A. WITH LOVE," in book format. The second is the anthology cover on a phone screen. The third is the cover for the short story "DOUBLE TAKE SEDUCTION" displayed on an e-reader. The text reads: "Available now. Charity anthology benefiting the Altadena and Pacific Palisades libraries. Contains 'Double Take Seduction' by Lisa Rayne."

Did I mention this one comes in audiobook? It's my first and I initially was scared to listen to the whole book. But readers and friends encouraged me to do so. So glad I did. You will be too. This narrator's storytelling is fire! 🔥
