Description
In Palm Springs Heat, Lara Dixon sets out destroy the Fast Lane men's entertainment empire. She finds well-heeled backers and goes undercover to infiltrate the billion-a-year business, but finds out that Clay Creighton, the notorious playboy who runs Fast Lane, isn't at all what his media people make him out to be. When Lara starts falling for Clay, enemies inside and outside the organization turn up the heat as Lara tries to figure out how to get out of the storm she's created without losing Clay.
Malibu Bride picks up where Palm Springs Heat ends, and follows Lara's nemesis from Book 1, Sushma Vishnuveda, as she reinvents herself. Sushma lands a new job at a Hollywood talent agency and finds that the learning curve is steep. Meanwhile, she's attracted to her new boss, sexy movie packager Holt Richards, even though she's sworn off mixing business and romance. At the same time, someone's trying to ruin her image and her career--and there are plenty of potential suspects.
In San Fernando Dreams, Sushma and Lara both find their love lives have never been better just as their careers have never been worse. They team up with another "disgraced woman," 23-year-old emerging movie star Douglyss Fancher, to make a radical independent movie. Again, the corporate intrigue mounts--and Douglyss has to face her own peculiar demons. Meanwhile, what she doesn't know is that her new boyfriend, costar Branagh McManus, has a twin brother that no one knows about. Douglyss finds herself falling in love with one of them. But which one?
The stories of the three heroines are woven throughout all three books, and come together at the end of San Fernando Dreams.

Advance Praise
USA Today and NY Times best-selling author Robyn Peterman: "DC Thome takes you on a wild ride."
Best-selling author Donna McDonald, about Fast Lane Romance #3: San Fernando Dreams: "I got up early to finish SFD—not because I felt I needed to—but because I couldn’t wait to finish it. It's just a very good story that moved great from scene to scene. And I really liked the resolution for the characters.
Twenty pages in and I was mesmerized by the fast pace and the characters. Their personalities hold in place from book to book. Nicely done.
The sex scene between Holt and Sushma—totally wonderful, especially this dialogue—very sexy: Sushma glanced down. “What happened to your underwear? ”“They’re over on the chair, playing with yours."
The underwear theme throughout is funny and humanizing—brings the celebrities down to earth.
The romance resolution is smooth and perfectly orchestrated. Douglyss conceding after getting royally pissed and working it out is true to her character. I forgave Larry constantly because I was convinced he loved her because he was always showing up to take care of her.
This book feels smooth from beginning to end. Turning pages was effortless because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.
Amazon review of Palm Springs Heat: "I enjoyed Palm Springs Heat so much, I feel guilty for downloading it for free! I don't normally write reviews on books I get for free, but this one entertained me so much I felt the least I could do was let the world know how much I love it! I can't wait for part 2 of the Fast Lane series to come out. I really want to see what's next for Clay and Lara, even though I know the next book will revolve around Sushma."
Another Amazon review: "Can you say, 'Just right?' This surprisingly engaging story shows the pitfalls of how a successfully manufactured image can lead to all kinds of mistakes. Lara certainly buys the act along with everyone else. Clay’s handlers ensure it and protect his image. But what she finds when she vows to bring this playboy down, is a man who’s lost the reins of his empire and is as much a victim of spin as she is. There’s an unexpected tenderness inside of him that she warms to, not to mention a sexy seducer as well. Palm Springs Heat is guaranteed to leave you satisfied."
