About this listen
He's a heartbreaker with a scorecard. She's his dirty secret. No need to ask... he is A Smooth Operator!
I'm Remi Drake, the king of Memphis nightlife. At under thirty, I own the hottest spots in town, and believe me, I enjoy every perk that comes with it.
Echo is my sister's friend. She was the designated ugly fat friend (DUFF) in high school. Now, she's a cancer researcher with a PhD. She's no longer fat but curvy and sexy. Then there's that amazing brain of hers. Plus, she's always had a thing for me.
One night, things get out of hand, and I pitch the idea of an acquaintance-with-benefits relationship: no strings, no promises, and most importantly, no one can ever know. Just fun. Perfect, right? Except it isn't. Jealousy and old feelings twist our no-strings-fling into something complicated.
When Echo overhears me saying terrible things about her in front of my friends, she decides she's had enough of my bullshit. By the time I figure out that Echo is the one for me, it's too late. I've already lost her.
A Smooth Operator is a standalone love story that is part of the A Modern Vintage Romance series. Books in this series bring back the nostalgia of Harlequin and Mills & Boon romances from the eighties with a modern twist. Meet alpha men who know how to wound but also to grovel, and meet strong women who hold their own.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Story
I fell for a woman for the first time in my life. I never thought the winds of Montana could carry in a storm like Isha George. She's stunningly beautiful. Years younger than me. Definitely a gold digger. She's charming, elegant—and my younger brother's girlfriend. When Isha sweeps into my life, I'm sure she's a tempest hiding behind a smile as bright as sunshine. And, she has her eyes on the prize—a piece of the Ledger Ranch. My ranch. So, I do what any good brother and ranch owner would. I steal her away and then proceed to break her heart.
