When a not-quite-jilted bride turns her would-be honeymoon into a solo adventure, the last thing she expects is to fall for Paris or the broodingly handsome artist who shows her its secrets. As midnight kisses blur into something deeper, she must choose between the life she left behind and the future she never saw coming. Pre-order this heart-mending, spicy travel romance from N.D. Jackson, where art, passion, and second chances collide in the world’s most romantic city.

It started as one night in Paris.
It ended with forever on the line.

Not quite a jilted bride,

I still find myself on a first-class flight to Paris—solo.

What was supposed to be a honeymoon has become my Great Parisian Adventure: art, food, and falling in love with the city.

Then I met Lucien.

Tall. Dark. French. Irresistibly artsy.

He taught me how to see the city through his eyes.

Its sounds, its colors, its passion.

And somehow, somewhere between croissants, art galleries, and midnight kisses,

Paris stopped being just a place… and started to feel like him.

But he’s a world away from my real life.

And I came here to move on, not fall in love.

Still, you can’t have a Great Parisian Adventure without a touch of romance.

Even if it can't last.

One Night in Paris is a jilted bride, friends to lovers, travel romance with a happy ending, steamy open-door scenes and a whole lotta Paris. Features a scorching hot Parisian with sensitive eyes, a gentle soul and hot touch.

Series: Lake Haven

Author: Trisha Madley

Genre: Contemporary/Small Town Romance

Tropes: Grumpy Boss; Workplace Romance; Single Mom; Not the Father; Best Friend's Brother; Drag Racing

Release Date: December 2, 2025

Cover Design: K.B. Barrett Design

Harlow Layne has her life mapped out. Graduate college, marry her football-star boyfriend, and find the perfect teaching job.

But when two pink lines flip her world upside down, she realizes perfection is just a pretty lie. Declan,the one who promised forever, chooses fame, parties, and his own ego over her and their baby. So, Harlow decides to take matters into her own hands by getting a job at a gritty dive bar, determined to stand on her own two feet.

Jake Rae, her boss, her best friend's brother, and the man who growls more than he talks, with tattoos that whisper danger and eyes that see too much. He’s everything she shouldn’t want but everything she can’t seem to stay away from.

Jake’s life revolves around his bar and his need for speed on the racetrack. Love was never in his plans until Harlow walked in, all sunshine and sharp edges, completely upending his world. She’s chaos wrapped in innocence, a temptation he can’t ignore. When he finds out she’s pregnant, his protective instincts kick in. He wants her and the baby. A family of his own.

As Declan fights to reclaim the life he once took for granted, Harlow must decide whether to chase the future she always dreamed of for her son or embrace the unexpected love that could give her everything she truly needs.

A steamy, emotional small-town romance full of tension, unexpected love, and the courage to rewrite your own story.

I felt I had a story inside me to add to the list of self-published authors, so I put myself to the test, and Safer With You was born. I now have four published books! I love to write, read and design teasers and other graphics for books.I'm a mom, wife and have two fur babies, an unlikely pair: Pomsky and Maltese.
