About Aviva Vaughn

My standalone, office romcom "Love on the Ropes" just released on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited: SmartURL.it/LoveOnTheRopes

Short blurb: Clint Davenport is the new prince of public radio. But his silver tongue tarnishes anytime he tries to smooth talk office frenemy, Erin Hung. Throw in his fear of heights and her passion for climbing and you have Love On The Ropes. I like to picture Matthew Goode and Ali Wong as I read!

Aviva loves to bring diverse, inspiring, sex positive characters to life, and looks forward to the day when her daughter can read BECKONED and see characters that look like her reflected in its pages. She believes consent is a must, condoms are sexy, food is culture, and travel is mind-expanding. Avocado toast, coconut lattes, and Korean spas are her favorite indulgences, and she is a die-hard Angeleno. A voracious reader, you can find a list of her favorite books at avivavaughn.com/about

She combines her passion for Jane Austen's multi-faceted, flawed characters with her love for food and travel to bring you BECKONED: slow burn, second-chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Austen.

She loves statement jewelry, rescue animals, and kind people, and hates talking about herself in the third person.

Knotty Naughty Bits Volume 1 (diverse, sweet to steamy, short stories): A collection of tangled romantic shorts Aug 14, 2019

by Aviva Vaughn

( 3 )

$2.99

Have you ever just

KNOWN?

Remember the first time you met someone you loved? There was something there; a stolen look, a held breath, a frisson of electricity. This book is a collection of those tense, awkward, exciting moments when you have no idea where your feelings are taking you, but you are dying to find out! Featuring a diverse array of characters at different stages in their romantic entanglements. Fun, flirty, fervent, this is Aviva Vaughn at her lightest (and maybe steamiest?). New characters as well as characters from her BECKONED series make an appearance in this first volume of “Tangled Romantic Shorts”. From the craggy peaks of the Austrian Alps to the white sand beaches of Rio de Janeiro, from Madrid’s kinetic Puerta del Sol to Portland’s funky Pearl District, Aviva’s seductive combination of food, travel, and (steamy) Austen-esque relationships will draw you in and leave you wanting more. Note from the author: For readers of BECKONED, I’ve included a line at the beginning of each short story that includes a BECKONED character, placing it in relationship to the series in terms of “timeline.” There is one character that you might not remember, so I’ll point him out now: “Rolfe” in Havana Club is the MBA-school friend that Angela dances with in Soren’s apartment.

He thought his life was perfect, and then she walked into the office

Former TOPGUN pilot Clint Davenport is the newly-crowned prince of public radio now that he’s hosting America’s most popular drive-time show. The ladies can't get enough of this Flying Ace, but he's all out of runway for the fairer sex because of a tragedy that haunts him. But life is perfect, or at least that’s what he keeps saying. Until he finds himself on the ropes (literally) at a company retreat and the only person who can bring him in for a safe landing is his office frenemy, who seems as comfortable in a climbing harness as he used to be in an F-18.

Erin Hung was twenty-eight and still living with her parents in Honolulu, so when her favorite cousin invited her to move to glittering Los Angeles, she made the leap. After four years, this late bloomer has blossomed. She owns her own condo in gorgeous Pasadena, has the love of a good male—her Shiba Inu, Atticus—and is the badass marketing manager for America’s #1 radio show. But she still has a lot to prove and is gunning for a promotion. She doesn’t have time for distractions, especially romantic ones…and there’s no way she’s interested in that cocky ex-fighter pilot who just got tapped as host. Unfortunately, working with Mr. Cockpit Cockypants is the only way to get her raise.

When work forces them together, it seems like the beginning of a new Cold War, or maybe Clint’s high-flying charm is just what Erin needs to see there’s more to life than just work. Aviva Vaughn’s seventh full-length novel, Love on the Ropes is a standalone office romantic comedy and a spin-off of the slow burn, second chance romance BECKONED series. ONE CLICK now!
