Velvet, Leather & Lace by
by Suzanne Forster, Donna Kauffman, Jill Shalvis

Velvet, Leather & Lace, a hot new lingerie catalogue company, is launching "stunt lingerie"—wispy little nothings that can be removed piece by piece with the slightest tug. The global satellite fashion show is fast approaching and partners Jamie, Samantha and Mia are coming apart as fast as their underwear.

Samantha has put off her current lover so many times he's about to kidnap her. And what if the press discovers Jamie—CFO and designer in this all-woman company—is actually a man? Lorna Sutton offers to front for Jamie—but not for payment...for payback. Then set-contractor Jake Holbrook decides to test Mia's claim she doesn't like sex—the night before the show. At this rate, Jamie, Samantha and Mia might get caught with their panties—or boxers—down.

Suzanne Forster's Bio

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Suzanne Forster is living proof of Shakespeare’s maxim that the uses of adversity are sweet. Suzanne’s writing career began by accident. Literally. A car accident ended her dreams for a career in clinical psychology. During her recovery, she began writing to fill the hours, and before she was well enough to return to graduate school, she’d sold her first book and launched a new career.

Since then Suzanne has written more than thirty novels and been the recipient of countless awards, including The National Readers’ Choice Award for Shameless, her mainstream debut. She’s received recognition for outstanding sales from Waldenbooks and Bookrak, and her recent novel, Unfinished Business, was made into a movie for the Oxygen Network. 

Suzanne has a Master’s Degree in Writing Popular Fiction, and she teaches and lectures frequently. Her seminars on Women's Contemporary Fiction at UCLA and UC Riverside were rated outstanding, and her most requested workshop, "The High-Concept Synopsis," is based on personal experience. Her breakout novel, Shameless, sold on a synopsis that triggered a bidding war and garnered her a six-figure contract.

Suzanne has received considerable media attention, including a feature segment on Extra, NBC's news and entertainment magazine, and an Emmy Award–winning "Special Report" on CBS Channel 23 News. Her many print appearances include the L.A. Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Redbook and Orange Coast Magazine
