Wistful Whispers
by Kaylene Winter
(Charming Irish, #3)
Publication date: June 9th 2025
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Synopsis:
Wistful Whispers is an irresistible battle of the wills where surrendering to forbidden temptation could cost them everything.
I never promised forever.
A good time? Absolutely.
Heartbreak? Only if they got too attached.
My reputation as a quiet playboy precedes meโwomen talk, and my โtalentsโ follow me wherever I go. But Iโve always been upfront. No commitments. No expectations. No complications.
Marcella Delgado is nothing but complications. Brilliant. Fierce. Eight years older. And the attorney trying to take down my boss in a malpractice case. She should hate me on sightโhell, she does. But that doesnโt stop the heat between us from igniting the moment we meet.
Sheโs heard the stories about me firsthand, right there in the depositions. She knows exactly what Iโm good at, and even though she fights it, I can see the temptation in her eyes.
One night. One line crossed.
Now my futureโs unravelingโand she might be the only thing I donโt want to let go.
For the first time, I want it all.
And Iโll fight like hell to be the man she canโt leave behind.

Guest Post from Kaylene Winter
10 things you wish every aspiring writer would know
๏ท There is no โrightโ way to write. Outlining, pantsing, dictating, typing, scribbling on Post-
itsโit all counts. Donโt get hung up on process. Find what keeps you writing and trust it.
๏ท Your first draft is allowed to be awful. Seriously. It can be messy, chaotic, and riddled
with plot holes. No one ever published a first draft. Give yourself permission to write badly so
you can rewrite brilliantly.
๏ท Writing is rewriting. Every single book you love has been edited, re-edited, and polished
within an inch of its life. The magic happens in revision.
๏ท You will doubt yourself. Often. Whether itโs your first book or your fifteenth, imposter
syndrome is real. Push through. Trust the story and remind yourself why you started.
๏ท Read. Everything. Read inside your genre and far outside it. Pay attention to pacing,
tension, emotional payoff. Reading trains your writer brain better than any class ever will.
๏ท Publishing is not always fair. You can write the most gorgeous prose in the world and still
struggle to find readers. Or you can go viral on TikTok and not know why. Focus on your voice,
your audience, and the long game.
๏ท Protect your joy. The industry will try to make this feel like a hustle. Donโt let it. Write for
money if thatโs your goal, but always write for love first.
๏ท Your voice matters. No one else has your background, your experiences, or your
perspective. That thing you think makes you weird or different? Thatโs the thing that makes you
unforgettable.
๏ท Finish the book. You canโt publish a half-done draft. You canโt revise something you didnโt
finish. The most powerful habit a writer can build is to complete what they start.
๏ท Youโre already a writer. You donโt need a contract or a publisher to earn that title. If you
write, youโre a writer. Own it.
