She's fierce, polished, and impossible to intimidate. He's the quiet photographer who sees beauty in the moments people try to hide.
Sienna Clarke has built her life on ambition, designer heels, and perfectly applied confidence. As a powerhouse marketing executive, she commands boardrooms, lands luxury clients, and never lets anyone see her sweat. Five years after divorcing her emotionally manipulative college sweetheart, she's mastered the art of armor. Sass is her shield. Success is her safety net. And love? Love is a risk she swore she'd never take again.
But when a dating app match leads her to James Park - a patient, observant photographer with kind eyes and an uncanny ability to notice what others miss, Sienna's carefully curated world begins to tilt.
James doesn't flinch at her sharp wit or competitive edge. He doesn't try to overpower her confidence. Instead, he studies it. Appreciates it. Waits quietly for the woman beneath it. His photographs capture people when they forget to perform, and the thought unsettles her more than she cares to admit. Because Sienna has been performing for years.
Just as something real begins to spark between them - late-night texts, soft kisses, laughter she didn't know she still had, her past comes knocking.
Marcus.
Her ex-husband. The man who once made her feel too loud, too ambitious, too much. The man who now claims therapy changed him. Who says he's sorry. Who says he still loves her.
Suddenly, the walls Sienna spent years building begin to crack.
With Marcus offering familiarity and redemption, and James offering patience and possibility, Sienna is forced to confront the question she's been avoiding: Is she truly over her past or has she simply learned to survive it?
As she throws herself into a bold body-positive marketing campaign celebrating strength in softness, Sienna begins to realize the brand she's selling might be the life she secretly wants. One where vulnerability isn't weakness. One where love doesn't require shrinking.
With Maya and Adrian cheering her on from Sweet Surrender, and her chosen family refusing to let her self-sabotage, Sienna must decide if she's brave enough to risk being fully seen. Because real love doesn't demand perfection. It asks for honesty.
And that might be the scariest thing of all.
SASS & STILETTOS is a swoony, emotionally layered contemporary romance about second chances, healing after emotional abuse, and learning that confidence and softness can coexist. With a strong, plus-size heroine who refuses to play small and a tender hero who believes she never should have, this second installment in The Curvy Girls Club series celebrates women who take up space-in boardrooms, in love, and in their own lives.
Perfect for readers who love:
- body-positive romance

- second-chance tension
- ex-husband drama
- therapy and emotional growth arcs

Sienna's journey isn't just about choosing between two men. It's about choosing herself. About unlearning the voice that told her she was too much and discovering that the right love thinks she's extraordinary.
