Silent Partner
Chloe LaRoche is a talented artist, but a failing entrepreneur. Her once thriving studio is now on the brink of foreclosure and unless she paints the next Van Gogh Starry Night, she’ll have to cut her losses and say goodbye to her quaint little gallery. Fearing her career is at an end, she drags herself to the local hot spot, fixed on drowning her worries in the bottom of a shot glass...until she lays eyes on the wickedly sexy, swarthy dancer in the club—Grayson Anders.
Unable to resist, Chloe finds herself in Grayson’s arms, indulging in a passionate, one night stand. And when they awaken the next morning, they're both consumed with inspiration. Grayson finds his perfect dance partner and Chloe discovers her muse. But will her secret destroy both their dreams?

What others are saying:
"Ms. Vincent’s writing has the unique ability of capturing both the reader’s heart and mind. The emotional investment in the characters starts from the beginning. You’ll want things for them that you might never have otherwise thought about wanting for someone so fiercely. As the story builds, so does Grayson and Chloe’s indescribable chemistry. They may feel like they come from two different worlds, but they couldn’t be more compatible. The contemporary setting makes it that much easier to envision the characters and environment as the story unfolds. The title is very fitting with a few different meanings behind it, which are revealed throughout the story. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this story and would love to see it become a movie. Another highly recommended read by Renee Vincent!"

"Hot, Hot, Hot! THE SILENT PARTNER, a novel by talented author Renee Vincent, is a sensationally steamy, toe-tapping contemporary romance that will absolutely captivate you. Best known for her historical tenth century Northmen novels, Ms. Vincent has moved into the present with this beautifully written tale. Filled with well-drawn characters, self-discovery, growth, forgiveness, broken dreams and love, this story is one you will not soon forget. Not many authors can successfully combine romance, intrigue, passion and inspiration in one novel, but Ms. Vincent manages to do this magnificently with this contemporary work, bringing the story to life with touching emotion. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of SILENT PARTNER. I highly recommend it! In the meantime, as a huge fan of Ms. Vincent’s work, I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next."

"What did you expect when you read the title, Silent Partner? Big business, and mega-buck takeovers perhaps? If so, think again. This is Ms. Vincent’s debut venture into mainstream romance, and the wait was more than worth it. Do not mistake the ‘sweet’ rating for tepid writing. Silent Partner is well researched, offering background information woven into her story so skilfully it blew me away. The author takes her hero and heroine through twisted and tortuous hoops of self-discovery and growth and brings them together in a believable manner. Her writing sparkles, and given this is the author’s first attempt at contemporary mainstream romance, she creates the right impact for settings, pace and conflict. Her main characters are fully developed as are the supporting cast. Her balance of the self-absorbed hero meeting emotionally challenged heroine is stunning because of her research into the heroine’s background. This book is a keeper."

"Renee Vincent captures our mind as well as our hearts as we find ourselves entwined in the dance between Chloe and Grayson. There are underlying depths to the story that makes you stop and think about your own lives. As the tension arises between Chloe and Grayson so does the chemistry that is undeniable. Renee shows us that once fate steps in, no matter what obstacles are thrown at us there is always a way to obtain what we want in life if we just have the passion, hope and trust to do so."
Romancing The Book
"With every turn of the page the words had me drawn like a moth to a flame. The major plot twists were so well written that I never saw them coming and lets be honest anymore that is a GREAT thing to have happen. I fell in love with Gray and Chloe from page one to the very end. This was an awesome book of beautifully written love scenes, surprises at every turn, and truly good show of how one person can adapt to anything if there is love involved!"

"Silent Partner is a great read! Initially, I did not like the way these two came together. Not because it was a one night stand, but the way it happened. Later in the story we learn the reasons why they came together that way, and it completed the story for me. Ms. Vincent’s characters are filled with emotion and a realness that had me disliking Grayson for a large part of the book. Later, I cheered him on as he tried to redeem himself and make himself worthy of Chloe. Chloe had me in tears. Her hurt and anger at the situation were real and wonderfully written. I know this book will keep you turning pages till the end."
