Elena Vasquez, a high-end fashion model, was accustomed to a life of fashion shows, red carpets, and paparazzi. However, when she divorces her unfaithful husband, Manuel, she decides to live a quieter life. Eleven months later, at thirty-nine, Elena experiences acute breathlessness while alone in her house in Coral Cove. Perhaps by luck, she finds her way to a hospital. Soon, she is diagnosed with stage three laryngeal cancer. As devastating as the news was to her and her family, Elena is determined to fight for her life. As she begins her treatment, she finds herself on a tumultuous journey that not only tests her strength and spirit but also teaches her about love, thanks to her family and her new relationship with Dr. Darren Philips. Find out how it all goes down in Cotton Sheets and Velvet Dreams: A Platinum Chocolate Romance by Long Temple.
Lovers of contemporary romance novels blended with drama and suspense will find Cotton Sheets and Velvet Dreams by Long Temple an enthralling read.

Before her divorce and illness, Elena had been living a life that her huge following perceived as perfect. But deep down, she felt hollow and empty. However, as she battles cancer, she finds purpose and love through her struggles. She learns that true strength, beauty, and connection can only be found in embracing reality, which is often imperfect.
