Why Me, Nadine

Riccardo Cordileon's passion for writing began as a young boy. He hasn't missed a day of writing since. Often published in non-fiction markets, he took a plunge into fiction 20 years ago when he embarked on writing an exposé of the tawdry, decadent and ego-driven world of management consulting.

Drawing from 25 years of insider knowledge while working as a Manhattan-based consultant, Cordileon's Why Me, Nadine blossomed. It has since evolved into a steamy romance-suspense novel, with the greedy world of consulting serving as the thread that binds the plot, from its erotic beginning to its shocking climax. In a romance-suspense genre dominated by female writers, Cordileon, through narrator Eric, provides a unique male point of view about love, sex, guilt and the endless struggle for enduring relationships.

During his 30-year career, Cordileon traveled the 50 states extensively, discovering cozy cities steeped in culture and history. Many of those cities were the impetus for the witty and inviting storytelling he has woven into his novel. Why Me, Nadine follows recently published novella, Emerald Dress Seduction. (Available on Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, among others.)
