Synopsis
Sara Walker’s life is going nowhere fast: she has a job she enjoys but doesn’t love, friends who are too busy to hang out with her, and no boyfriend in sight. Then a phone call on a lonely Friday night changes everything, and suddenly she’s spending her weekends with Laura. Newly single and openly bisexual, Laura makes Sara think decidedly not-straight thoughts.
Laura Murphy, with her red hair, freckles, and killer curves, is any guy’s wet dream. But Laura’s done with guys for now, and it’s Sara who can’t stop dreaming about her. When Sara finally gives in to the curiosity, Laura blows her mind and pushes her further than she’s ever gone before.
But Laura makes it very clear that this is only a rebound fling, and she’s still planning to move to California. She’s more than happy to tie Sara up, but she’s not ready to be tied down. If Sara wants to keep her, she’s going to have to work hard to convince Laura that New York is worth staying for . . . and so is she.

Summer is here, and what better way to relax by the pool than with a steamy romance! I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that Sara and Laura's relationship is hotter than Manhattan in July, and I can't wait to introduce you to these snarky and sexy ladies. I'll be touring throughout the week to talk about my new release, Heat Wave, and I hope you'll follow along. Plus, there's a pretty sweet prize in it if you do!

Picture This – Laura’s Aesthetic
I’ve said it
before, but I’m a very visual person. So when I was writing Heat Wave, I wanted pictures that evoked
the sun and beach, New York City in summertime, and girls being badass and
awesome. I actually created two picture folders—one for Sara, and one for
Laura. These are a few of the pictures I kept on my desktop, to help inspire me
when I was writing scenes with Laura in them!
On the
surface, Laura seems a little shallow—she’s a girly girl who loves make-up so
much that she made a career out of it, and she’d rather be at the beach
checking out the hot ladies and men then be working. But she loves her career
to the point where she’d give up on anything to pursue it and make her dreams a
reality, and she always knows how to cheer her friends up when they’re down!
Keep an eye
out on the tour for Sara’s aesthetic as well!

Congrats, Elyse, and thanks for the pics. This sounds great. The title and cover go are apropos. I spent a summer in NYC, and indeed it does get hot, but I also loved the shows and jazz clubs. -
