New Heights
Chloe Holiday

Listen To This Episode HERE!
LISTENER ADVISORY: MATURE LANGUAGE & SITUATIONS

About The Author: Chloe Holiday is a physician who is evolving as a novelist.  She writes the things she loves to read: steamy, fun stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, smart women and men who aren’t jerks. She likes to read about friendships, either close women or a good bromance. She wants all the feels: the thrill of a smoldering gaze or the barest brush of fingertips, the shocked gasp at the underhanded villain, the angst of heartbreak, the joy of reunion, and of course, happily ever after!

She enjoys a sneak peek into intriguing groups, whether that be military personnel, medicine, or another culture like Greece. It’s fun to live vicariously and go sailing, diving, or rock climbing. A bit of danger always gets her going, so many of her Romances have a thriller subplot. She also writes thrillers with a slow-burn romantic subplot.
She loves humor and is partial to witty banter and embarrassing situations! Love is funny sometimes!

She hates to read the same old thing, with only the names and places changed, so her goal is to bring you a fresh, fun, NEW story every time, with NO CLIFFHANGERS!

More than anything, she wants a rollicking, great story that she can’t put down, one where love prevails in the end, one that will whisk her away from her own tribulations.

Title: New Heights

Genre: Romance

Book Synopsis: Wild child Sarah Ann moves to Greece to help her best friend with her fledgling advertising agency, though a Navy base full of hot men sounds like a fantastic bonus—just because she doesn’t believe in relationships doesn’t mean she can’t have fun. Then a chance encounter in a taverna with a sexy Navy man leaves her angered but intrigued when he walks away.

Fresh from a breakup, Lieutenant Carlos Mornaric plants to use his year in Crete to advance his career. A hot, flirtatious woman in a bar reinforces his plan—he doesn’t need the drama. But when she beats Carlos at the climbing wall, her hard-charging personality tempts him to abandon his resolve. When she’s assigned to work with him, he’s doomed, and he dares to hope that he can become her people. But Carlos' career is threatened when he clashes with his commander over his fledgling relationship with Sarah Ann.

Carlos suspects his boss is dirty, but never imagines it could endanger the woman he loves.

Title: Helios

Genre: Romance

Book Synopsis: Advertising agent Nicole is very much a lady, for all the good it's done her: her conniving boss takes credit for her ideas, and sends her on a last-minute overseas assignment to that's bound to fail. Nervous, but determined to do her best, Nicole accepts some ouzo—okay, LOTS—from her handsome seatmate. She yields to the temptation of the sexy stranger on the transatlantic flight, unaware he’s the client she’s going to pitch. Blown away that her Mile High fantasy made flesh is the Helios CEO, she struggles to balance the professionalism her job demands with the irresistible magnetism of her client. Konstantinos sweeps her into a dizzying world—haute cuisine, enthralling trips by jet and yacht, stunning vistas on his private Grecian beach—and into his bed, where Nicole finds passion she'd never imagined. She dares to hope it's more than a fling.

Captivated by Nicole's fresh charm and her killer business instincts, Konstantinos chooses her campaign, antagonizing powerful board members who want him out. Then scandalous photos of the two show up in a Greek tabloid, threatening both their careers—and their love affair.

Title: Falling Home

Genre: Contemporary Romance

When New York transplant Ginny Meyer returns to her small hometown to help her father recover from surgery, she isn’t looking for any complications. No Christmas caroling, no cookie decorating, and certainly no time spent with her ex-husband, Max. The trouble is, she’s looped into helping with the Christmas Jubilee—and a certain ex is her planning partner. Now all her plans to avoid Max disappear in a puff of tinsel. But she can resist his charms, right?

Max Sanchez has three great loves in his life—his diner, Christmas, and his ex-wife. He’s spent two years missing the woman who broke his heart and left town, and he’ll use any excuse to spend time with her. Max hopes some holiday cheer, and his famous cheese enchiladas, can help them find their way back together. Buckeye Falls hasn’t felt the same since Ginny left, and Max can tell she’s warming to the idea of staying in town. Now if only he could get her to stay with him…

With a little help from the residents of Buckeye Falls, this Christmas is bringing more than presents under the tree.  With her heart torn down the middle, Casey leaves the choice in Austin’s hands. After all, what’s more important? A job… or love?

Title: I Love You Today

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Because when you least expect it… and when you’re least ready for it… love happens.

Casey McDaniels lacked direction, spending the better part of her youth, boyfriend hopping, partying, and bartending – her dreams, career ambitions, and education put on the backburner in favor of a social life and a steady paycheck… that is, until a new lawyer moves into town.

When sexy, smart, and broken-hearted Austin Templeton relocates from Los Angeles to Chicago, Casey can’t help but put her former lifestyle aside in favor of the sweet romance that erupts between them. Finding more than just her heart set ablaze, Austin’s own professional ambition ignites a fire beneath her – pushing her forward into uncharted territory.

But one thing’s for sure… his career will always come first. When an unexpected promotion threatens to take him back to California, Casey reels, forced to choose between the man who captured her heart and the newfound path to success he led her down.

With her heart torn down the middle, Casey leaves the choice in Austin’s hands. After all, what’s more important? A job… or love?
