...an American tale of love and peril

Bailey Bristol's debut novel LOVE WILL FOLLOW can be found on the Top 100 Romantic Suspense for Kindle and on other lists of favorites. A story of danger and resilience, love and family found, this American historical romantic suspense carries Kittie Thornton from her desperate beginnings as an Orphan Train foundling into the arms - and heart - of the one man who can bring her family.

Bailey says:
LOVE WILL FOLLOW will always have a special place in my heart because it was my first. Kittie is one of the resilient women who began with nothing, experienced little other than brutality at the hands of those who were supposed to be "family", and still managed to recognize and open herself to love when it finally found her.

With family and true love as over-arching themes in my stories, I hope to bring you tales that will make you weep and smile. If I manage that, then I have accomplished my mission.

Robin Badillo

Robin Badillo is a new paranormal romance author.
Her stories involve young vampires, usually in their 20's, with an array of gifts and abilities. They are all, as a rule, human friendly and have even been known to fall madly in love with a human or two along the way.

Robin works hard to maintain the idea that although the vampires in her stories are no longer considered alive, they do live their immortal lives to the fullest and never waste a moment of the life they have been given.

Leah Marie Brown

Silence in the Mist by Leah Marie Brown

Leah Marie Brown has been fascinated with eighteenth century France for as long as she can remember.

Daring duels of honor in mist shrouded fields.
Gilded chateaux and palaces.
Powdered ladies in gossamer gowns and prodigious paniers.
Chance encounters at opulent masquerade balls.
Secret love letters.
And a midnight rendezvous in a moonlit garden maze...

These are some of the images that flicker through her brain as she writes - images she brings to life within the pages of her novels.

"I am lost in love's labyrinth."

This Is How It Happened by Jo Barrett

Wooed, adored, electrified, deceived and dumped by her fiancé, Carlton, Maddy’s mood is murderous. And understandably so. He’s a cad from the moment they meet, if she did but know it, but bedazzled by his beauty, romance, lustful sex, and a promise to marry her, Maddy sacrifices, forgives, excuses, and wilfully overlooks Carlton’s increasingly self-serving behaviour as he sweet-talks her into believing it is all, somehow, for her benefit. She does his MBA assignments as well as her own; attempts manically to create a body as plasticised as Barbie, sans body hair or periods; and creates a company, giving him the position of CEO. Then he ditches her, removing her from the company and leaving her with nothing but an STD to remember him by.

First she tries furniture polish-laced brownies but, unable to resist a few bites before throwing the tray of steaming chocolate out, succeeds only in poisoning herself and a raccoon. Cyanide with which to lace his vodka is just too difficult to come by. And the spell bought online from the California Astrology Association doesn’t even do so much as turn him into a toad.

With the help of her ex-drug-runner-turned-counsellor brother, she hires a hitman. Not to kill Carlton, she promises – just to scare him. There will be no blood. It is acumen, Maddy decides, not her hitman’s Marlon Brando, that will hurt Carlton the most. What she creates is a businesswoman’s guide to getting back at your man.

The book is surprising, compulsive, and very funny. It’s a catalogue of what a woman will do, bedazzled by a deception she mistakes for love and a businesswoman’s guide to getting out of it. It is also a phenomenon rarely seen in the male-dominated genre, a thriller with a female lead. Barrett has brought to the genre, not the ditzy bit part or emotion-deficient cop to which female characters are usually consigned, but a woman with tremendous sass, intelligence, zaniness, and humour. It’s a refreshing take on the genre – a witty parody and a tale of the sweetest revenge.
