Brielle Alder has spent her life hiding the truth. She is a 197-IQ prodigy capable of changing the world. To protect her twin sister, Demi, Brielle became the beautiful ghost in every underestimated, overlooked, and secretly building an AI powerful enough to disrupt the pharmaceutical industry.
Then one reckless kiss changes everything.
Damian Lindström has known Brielle since she was a kid. She is the off-limits little sister of his best friend. Now she is a brilliant, sharp-tongued woman with red lipstick, a dangerous smile, and a talent for destroying every rule he has ever lived by. One kiss at New Year’s shatters the line he swore he would never cross and leaves him wanting more.
Just when Brielle decides she is done chasing him, fate pulls them back together. A grieving Damian. A quiet bar. One impulsive decision. The fire between them ignites into something explosive, forbidden, and impossible to control.
Secrets unfold. Loyalties shift. When Brielle’s groundbreaking invention threatens billion-dollar empires, the man who once pushed her away becomes the one person she cannot live without.
Smart, sexy, chaotic, and emotionally sharp, Deleted is a high-heat romance filled with banter, betrayal, and a love that refuses to die.
Book 2 of The Saddle Bar Encounters Series.
It can be read as a standalone, but readers of Canceled will recognize familiar faces, deeper backstory, and even more delicious chaos.

We met Brielle and Demi in Canceled when we got to see their brother Cruz and Evie fall in love. Now we get to see what happened when Brielle tested out that no smudge lipstick on Damien, who is Cruz's best friend! Deleted can be read as a standalone because it runs as a dual timeline with the first book in the series, Canceled.
Brielle has a huge following online. Between tennis and influencer deals, her and her twin have done very well for themselves. Brielle has been keeping a big secret from everyone. She's smart. Like genius level with an IQ in the 190's. She started building an AI platform that will have a huge impact in pharma/medical and she even found a front man to take credit for the work with her. That platform has been a passion project but her biggest passion project is Damien; and he has been since she was 5 years old.
Damien has been dodging and ignoring Brielle's come ons for quite some time now. She's off limits. He's 10+ years older than her and she is his best friend's sister. As Brielle hits her 20's it's getting harder and harder for him to resist. Brielle is gorgeous but he also sees how smart she really is. He has to figure out what to do with all the feelings he is having and still try to keep everyone around him happy.
The emotional rollercoaster this book took me on was perfect. The emotions are so raw you will feel like you are right there in the story with the main characters. This is a book you should expect to devour!
I can't wait for Ghosted to see how Demi's story plays out. I think I know who her secret man may be.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Brielle has been in love with Damian for almost her entire life—and with one of the highest IQs of all time, she knows exactly what she’s risking. But Damian is her brother Cruz’s best friend, making their love forbidden, not to mention complicated by a significant age gap. Determined to protect her, Damian pushes Brielle away at every turn, but she refuses to back down, drawing him into a dangerous emotional game he’s sure to lose.
What follows is an intelligent, emotional, and laugh-out-loud journey. Jill Chandler crafts characters who feel deeply real and wonderfully humble, despite their extraordinary brilliance. I was genuinely laughing one moment and crying the next. Truly unforgettable—and I can’t wait to read more from Jill Chandler in the future.
Huge thank you to Jill for sending me an advance copy so I could share my honest thoughts!

Not as good as the 1st book. Brielle seemed like a spoiled little girl who whined when her crush didn't like her right away like she liked him. She was getting quite annoying to me. I know how it will end as predicted with the couple getting a HEA.

Funny. Emotional. Intellectual. Jill chandler has a way of taking a contemporary romance to the next level. Astute characters that are humble and real. A world that feels next door yet out of reach. Deleted will have you laughing out loud one moment and fighting tears the next. Absolutely brilliant.

I absolutely loved the second book of this series. It was so fun to get into the lives of the twins, especially in this story. Love the sass, love the tension, love the rich girl thinking she owns the world only to not get the one thing she wants…her brother’s best friend. The chemistry between Brielle and Damien is intense. You can see what they both want and how hard it is for them to get there!!! I couldn’t put the book down, from start to finish! Can’t wait for the third book in the series.
