Book Title: LOST WITHOUT YOU
Character Name: Shane Adams
Series: Adams Cosmetics
How would you describe your family or your childhood?
My childhood was amazing. My mom was always home and there to lend to an ear. My dad was always working and trying to build his business. I didn’t see him as much as I would have liked but I could see he was trying to build a legacy for me and my sisters Kayla and Courtney.
What was your greatest talent?
I have a great nose and I can smell different natural smells, essential oils, synthetics and more.
Significant other?
I’ve always been the love ‘em and leave ‘em type, but ending my relationships with aplomb and a fancy trinket to remember me by.
Biggest challenge in relationships?
My biggest challenge is finding anyone who can live up to my mom. She stood next to my father, but not behind him. She was his partner in every sense of the word and I never thought I’d be able to find that.
Where do you live?
I know this might surprise most since I’m a ladies man, but my primary residence is my family mansion, but I do own a condo in the city.
Do you have any enemies?
Andrew Jackson is an enemy of my father and the company he started: Adams Cosmetics, thus he’s my enemy. He’s now resorted to stealing perfumes I created to compete against us.
How do you feel about the place where you are now?
Is there something you are particularly attached to, or particularly repelled by, in this place? I still feel like I’m finding my footing at Adams Cosmetics since merging with Graham International. Sometimes I feel like Kayla and Ethan gang up on me, but I’ll figure it out. I never let anything keep me down. It’s not in my DNA.
Do you have children, pets, both, or neither?
None
What do you do for a living?
I’m VP at Adams Cosmetics and creative force behind cosmetics and fragrances for the company
Greatest disappointment?
Allowing my new fragrance Ecstasy to be stolen and not ensuring it was properly secure.
Greatest source of joy?
Finding love with Gabrielle. Discovering I had feelings for her was an unexpected surprise, but I have found that I can’t live without her. Quite frankly, she’s my muse.
What do you do to entertain yourself or have fun?
I’m a foodie and love new restaurants and going to the theater.
What is your greatest personal failing, in your view?
Being a perfectionist. I’ll keep working on a new product until it’s perfect.
What keeps you awake at night?
Losing my creativity and being unable to create for the company.
What is the most pressing problem you have at the moment?
Ridding ourselves of Jax Cosmetics as competition.
LOST WITHOUT YOU by Yahrah St. John
As the brilliant heir to Georgia’s most legendary cosmetics empire, Shane Adams has it all—power, wealth, and a reputation as Atlanta’s most irresistible bachelor.

Determined to conquer the unattainable, Shane sets out to seduce Gabby, igniting a game of passion neither of them can resist.
Gabrielle has always admired Shane from afar, secretly captivated by the hunky VP who rules every boardroom—and bedroom—he enters. But as a workaholic parfumier, she’s never believed she could be the kind of woman who catches his eye…until a stunning makeover transforms her into Atlanta’s most sought-after beauty. Now Shane is looking at her with dangerous intensity. But as corporate intrigue threatens to shatter Adams Cosmetics, their simmering attraction explodes into a sensual obsession. Will the intoxicating scent of desire lead them to lasting love—or to heartbreak?
