Lost and bitter in a new school, her one goal is to save money and move back home. Then she meets Angel Moreno.

Enigmatic but gorgeous, Angel is almost too good to be true. Except for one thing, his archaic belief that guys and girls can never be “just friends”. The problem? Sarah’s best friend Sydney is not a girl.

With their unexpected romance intensifying to places neither ever experienced, how long can Sarah keep Angel in the dark? And how will he react when the truth finally comes out?

Rebecca Rose Contemporary Romance

by Rebecca Rose
(Western Massachusetts United States)

Once Rebecca Rose picked up her first romance novel she knew her destiny was typed on those pages. She lives to find romance in ordinary life doing everyday things, by believing you just need to be conscious enough to look for it. While being slightly dyslexic has created some challenges for her, she feels compelled to write about the characters living in her head.

Writing is a necessity for Rebecca. When she first started out she never imagined her dreams would bring her to publication. Now with multiple books out, she is a full-time writer with a nagging muse who even talks obsessively in the car. That is of course, when the voice can get a word in edgewise with her three children and husband of 17 years.

She hopes her writing brings you to laugh, cry and rejoice with her characters. Maybe even leave a lasting impression on your soul.

Have a Sparkling Day!

Melanie Rose

by Melanie Rose
(UK)

I'm the author of 'Finding Home' and 'Life as I Know It', both published by Bantam in the US.
I've been a writer all my life, progressing from short stories and magazine articles to full length novels.

I love the idea that we have a soul mate, who we'll find no matter what life throws at us.
My books are spooky romances. In Finding Home,our heroine finds herself lost with amnesia in the New England countryside after a car crash in a blizzard. She finds herself in the house of Vincent, whose six year old Jadie, hasn't spoken since her sister died and her mother disappeared two years before.

On our heroine's arrival, Jadie starts talking again, proclaiming her to be an angel sent from heaven to help them. Finding Home is a heartfelt drama full of heart and soul.

My previous book Life As I Know It is about a young single woman, Jessica, who is struck by lightning and wakes up in the body of someone else - a beautiful mother of four, with a husband who insists she is his wife and the mother of his children. The problem is that in her own life Jessica had just met the man of her dreams...

My books have been published in several different languages throughout the world under different titles.

I'm married with four sons. Being a published writer and a mom is like a dream come true!

Renee Rearden: Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal YA

by Renee Rearden
(Pacific Northwest)

I'm obsessed with the written word. It all started with those little 45 rpm records that read the story while you followed along with a book. You know the ones I'm talking about, right? Well, let's just say kindergarten was a breeze. I kept practicing, and at age nine read my mother's copy of Jaws (which might explain my fear of the ocean...er, of what's in it!). So it's not surprising all that reading led to a writing career as a paranormal romance and urban fantasy author.

I also work full time as an Official Court Reporter, sharpening my skills on the written word. As a Gemini, my creative side fills the rest of my spare time, keeping my mind immersed in imaginative escapism. Writing paranormal romance and urban fantasy novels offers an outlet for me to share the intriguing stories I create. Each of them is filled with non-stop action, nail-biting conflict, and scintillating attraction between the people that live in my head.

Gilles Rozier

by Kate Gould
(Edinburgh, UK)

Love Without Resistance by Gilles Rozier

Gilles Rozier’s Love Without Resistance is a story of secrets. In defiance of the demands of German-occupied France, the (rather irritatingly never named) narrator and his sister, Anne, infuse their abridged lives with forbidden pleasures, while others accede in silence.

Though he compliantly marries Claude, an ex-pupil, the narrator’s passion is for the German literature – both sanctioned and banned – that he keeps locked in the cellar. He refuses to touch his wife whilst devouring every word of his books. As a German teacher employed as a translator by the Gestapo he is given some immunity which he uses to rescue and hide Herman, a young Polish Jew who actualises the narrator’s lifelong fantasies of a Death In Venice pursuit. Herman’s survival is dependent upon his compliance, yet it is the narrator who wishes to be controlled and humiliated throughout their affair: it is he who wants to taste the bitter soil of the cellar floor in his mouth. When Claude commits suicide he acknowledges he has some part in it, but chooses to regard it, in the middle of the war as, “in rather bad taste”, and perhaps a present given by Claude enabling him to devote himself entirely to Herman.

Within weeks of the assassination of her Vichy-supporter husband, Anne begins an affair with Volker, an SS Officer. It is an act for which she is raped after the Liberation and which the narrator finds both repulsive and erotic. Though he hates Volker and leaves the house rather than hear Anne “being penetrated by the enemy, and proclaiming it out loud”, he imagines her “spread like a sow under Volker’s body” while he is forced to keep silent with Herman.

While their father is interned in Germany, their mother remains a silent figure in the household. “A machine for swallowing reality and never bringing it up again”, she refuses to acknowledge her daughter’s lover and chooses to ignore her son’s predilection for illicit literature and sex.

Rozier has taken a tremendous risk by basing a love story on a character who is almost entirely unsympathetic. It seems we are not supposed to like his narrator: a misogynist, self-obsessed and self-serving collaborator who appears to conduct his entire life based upon his own obsessions with apparent disregard for any repercussions. However, the one crime that he does not commit is self-pity and this is what redeems him. His life is saturated by tragedy, culminating in a hermitic existence spent waiting for the death that will free him from the tortured longing for Herman, yet he does not ask for the reader’s forgiveness, nor does he expect anything other than the harshest judgment of his actions. He knows that his collaboration in both wartime and personal events is morally questionable – at times reprehensible – and he acknowledges this fact. Rozier never once allows him to stray into the sentimentality with which it would be all too easy to create an entirely tragic figure. There is something too fierce, too forceful about his prose that would – like the “violent orgasms” of the narrator – make a mockery of any attempts to excuse his actions in the hope of gaining the reader’s indulgence. The resulting book is an astute observation of the ambiguity of wartime emotion and a departure from the comparatively clear-cut morality of peacetime.

by Amy Romine
(Arlington, TX)

My name is Amy Romine and I am in love with love! The passionate embrace, the hungry kiss, the heated whisper, the groan of lust and the cries of beloved bliss! I am a Romantic Suspense writer which means my characters never have it easy. I make them work for their deepest emotional and physical fulfillment and do I have a hell of a good time doing it.

My current release is a Trilogy entitled 'Trust Me' through Extasy Books. A chilling romantic thriller series, two of the three books have been released and the third is set to release Feb 1st!

Michele ‘n Jeff Reviews - Trust Me Book 1 – Serenity Lost 4 out of 5 KISSES! “At first blush the opening scene is romantic, but by the time I’d reached the bottom of the first page I realized that this was NOT going to be your run-of-the-mill story, suspenseful or not. In fact this story could rival some of the freakiest, aka bloody, gory and scary-as- all-get-out, stories that I’ve read…”

Along with being a Novelist I am also a regular Amazon subscription contributor for the Red Lipstick Journals, and the Prime Time Editor of BellaOnline.

On top of all of that I am a mother of three and a full-time employee at a worldwide document solutions company.
Needless to say I am a busy girl, but I love it! I love romance of all kinds and hope that some of my passion comes through in my work.
