***Pinned Up contains explicit language and strong sexual content.***Readers in search of something fresh in the adult contemporary romance department will celebrate the arrival of C. Michelle's vibrant debut novel, Pinned Up. Full of snappy dialogue, edgy humor, and a lot of heart, this fun look into the world of a modern-day pin-up model is one hell of a ride!Twenty-five-year-old Nina Moretti lives a double life of sorts. She's a victim advocate during the day and as a side gig, lives out her 1940s fetish as a pin-up model. This arrangement suits her well, as does never having a steady boyfriend. Trust is an issue that was ruined for Nina at a young age and has yet to be recovered. While she may not "do" serious relationships, she has found fulfillment in her work and hanging out with her best friend, Kade-the greatest sidekick any woman could possibly want. All is well in Nina's hectic, but satisfying life...That is, until she meets Josh, a stunningly handsome man who has a notorious reputation as a ladies' man. Living in San Francisco, California, Nina has met her fair share of eligible bachelors. But there is something different about Josh, something that compels her to try and get to know him better. For his part, Josh has always been reluctant to commit to any woman, largely as a way to spite his well-meaning, but rather overbearing mother. Nina, however, sparks his interest in a way that no other woman has before. What are two people, both scared of commitment, supposed to do?With events taking place during the 2012 World Series, Pinned Up represents the San Francisco party scene practically as a character unto itself, with C. Michelle's spot-on depictions of San Francisco's hopping nightlife transporting readers to the trendiest and most notorious sections of the city. A heartfelt novel depicting modern love with a refreshing twist, Pinned Up is a must-read.
C. Michelle loves a good laugh...you know, the type that accidentally makes you snort. Yeah, that kind. Her love of all things funny, romantic, and bad ass led to the writing of her debut novel, Pinned Up. C. Michelle resides in northern California with her husband and three children. She is currently working on the completion of the Pinned Up trilogy. Initially, Pinned Up was written as a stand-alone novel, but since the characters continue to harass her during the middle of the night, while she's driving, when she's eating, and while she's running against her will...she decided to continue with their stories. C. Michelle earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and a Master of Business Administration degree while working as a probation officer and probation counselor. She also served her community as a Victim Awareness Program instructor and an Aggression Replacement Training facilitator.
