~~~~~~~~~~~~~

from Once Upon a Love Letter by Jill Jaynes
        
Chloe blinked up at the guy standing before her. Her glance slid up over the black leather jacket that accentuated his slim waist and broad shoulders, then settled on his face: green eyes, ruffled auburn hair, killer smile complete with dimple. He’d been a heart-throb basketball star in high school, and her secret (okay, maybe not so secret) crush for her whole junior year. He’d apparently grown into the full powers of his charm.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Jill Jaynes began her love affair with romance when she was a teenager growing up in Southern California, spending many a late-night under the covers with a flashlight and good romance novel.  Today she writes stories with happy endings her own way--with a dash of magic that means anything can happen. When she’s not writing, you can find her wine-tasting or hiking with her awesome husband, plotting her next story with her writer-daughter or working at her day job in her spare time.

Shauna Roberts writes historical fiction, science fiction, romance, and fantasy and is a graduate of the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop. Her publications include more than a thousand nonfiction articles, three nonfiction books, several short stories, two novelettes, and three novels (Like Mayflies in a Stream, historical fiction, 2009; Claimed by the Enemy, historical fiction with romantic elements, 2014; and Ice Magic, Fire Magic, fantasy with romantic elements, 2015).
A.G. Reid developed a love for romance novels while serving in the military. It helped keep him grounded. He now writes romantic stories with a paranormal twist. Enjoy his short story Mr. Valentine Comes to Town in the romance anthology, Secrets Of Moonlight Cove.
Barb DeLong loves all things romance, animals and light-hearted, so she combines the three into her contemporary and paranormal stories. She has published a short story in Romancing the Pages anthology, Secrets of Moonlight Cove anthology, and is currently working on another short story plus a three-book paranormal romance series.


Janna Roznos writes about the middle-ages: middle-aged women that is! Second chances, life changes and starting over are themes she continues to explore in her writing. Her short story, Second Time Around for Secrets of Moonlight Cove is her first published work.


Kathleen Rowland is devoted to giving her readers fast-paced, high-stakes suspense with a sizzling love story sure to melt their hearts.  Some are sweet: Lily’s Pad within the Secrets of Moonlight Cove anthology, but a sizzling hot example is Deadly Alliance from Tirgearr Publishing.

Prejudice Meets Pride by Rachael Anderson
After years of pinching pennies and struggling to get through art school, Emma Makie’s hard work finally pays off with the offer of a dream job. But when tragedy strikes, she has no choice but to make a cross-country move to Colorado Springs to take temporary custody of her two nieces. She has no money, no job prospects, and no idea how to be a mother to two little girls, but she isn’t about to let that stop her. Nor is she about to accept the help of Kevin Grantham, her handsome neighbor, who seems to think she’s incapable of doing anything on her own.

Prejudice Meets Pride is the story of a guy who thinks he has it all figured out and a girl who isn't afraid to show him that he doesn't. It’s about learning what it means to trust, figuring out how to give and to take, and realizing that not everyone gets to pick the person they fall in love with. Sometimes, love picks them.

Suddenly, he has a very clear purpose, sex and sweets.

About Elle Christensen

I’m a lover of all things books, a hopeless romantic, and have always had a passion for writing. Between being a sappy romantic, my love of an HEA, my crazy imagination, and ok, let’s be real, my dirty mind, I fell easily into writing romance.

I’m a huge baseball fan and yet, a complete girly, girl. I’m an obsessive reader and have a slight (hahaha! Slight? Yeah, right) addiction to signed books.

I’m married to my very own book boyfriend, an alpha male with a sexy, sweet side. He is the best inspiration, my biggest supporter and the love of my life. He is also incredibly patient and understanding about the fact that he has to fight the voices in my head for my attention.

I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them!

Tyler

I’m riding high. A successful college football career means I’m about to sign with the NFL — and I have all the women I want.

When Deja shows up at my football practice, I’m shocked at the changes in her. When we were in foster care as kids, I always protected her, and she needs me more than ever.

I’m determined to take care of her — but will I be forced to choose between her and my career?

Deja

Tyler was the only real bright spot in my life growing up. Maybe I don’t deserve to be in his life anymore, but turning to him when I hit rock bottom is the only choice that makes sense.

I can’t help wanting more from him than friendship. He has the brightest future imaginable, and if I’m not careful, I could drag him down with me.

He’s like a beacon lighting my way to a better path… if I can find the strength to follow it. But will he be waiting for me when I get there?

Draft Day is a steamy full-length interracial football sports romance. It’s only recommended for audiences 18+. Standalone. No cheating. No cliffhangers. Guaranteed HEA.

Underneath It All Series by Ava Claire


Underneath It All Series

by Ava Claire
Publication Date: May 15, 2016
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Erotic, Romance


Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

Billionaire Jackson Colt has success, wealth, power and a presence that makes his competitors tremble with fear. Beneath the armor is a man with a dark and painful past. A man with a heart that he guards by any means necessary.

As far as Sadie McLeod is concerned, 'escort' isn't a bad word. It's a job, one of two that she works to pay off a debt that is not her own. Tough as nails and far from a damsel in distress, love is a luxury she can't afford.

Can they put aside their dark pasts and find the love they both desperately want, underneath it all?


Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

There's a reason billionaire Jackson Colt doesn't do love: Sadie McLeod. Now that she's shut him out completely, he can't fathom a life that doesn't have Sadie in it. She makes him weak. Vulnerable. For Jackson, that's unacceptable. But getting her out of his head? That's impossible.

Sadie McLeod should know better. Guys like Jackson don't live happily ever after with women like her. She didn't realize how badly she wanted happily ever after, how badly she wanted Jackson, until he was gone.

Can they take the leap into the unknown, into the terrifying and find the love they crave?


Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

It's official: billionaire Jackson Colt has fallen in love. After spending his life avoiding that four letter word, pretending he didn't want to be seen, he realizes that love is worth the risk. But does Sadie feel the same?

In her darkest hour, face to face with her demons, Sadie McLeod should be doing the thing she does best--pushing away everyone.

Her heart is on the line. Will she lose everything if she lets herself fall, or will Jackson catch her?

About Ava Claire

Ava Claire is a sucker for Alpha males and happily ever afters. When not putting pen to paper or glued to her Kindle, Ava likes road tripping, watching an unhealthy amount of Netflix, karaoke and vintage fashion.

Holiday Hearts Awakening by Fiola Faelan Blitz



Contemporary Romance


photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png





$0.99 Contemporary Romance Special


The last thing Natalie needs in her life is a handsome-as-sin single father living right next door. What she wants to do is shun the world and embrace her broken heart. She regrets snapping at his little girl over something as silly as Christmas lights, but nothing in the world will change her mind about taking part in holiday hoopla or letting a cherub, or her sexy father, into her life.


Zach's decision to ignore his snarky, smoking-hot new neighbor is an easy one, even if he feels a tug of regret he won’t get to know her better. He wants nothing to do with a woman who would snap at his little girl over something as trivial as decorating for the holiday.


Neither are prepared for hearts tripping and emotional barriers falling when Zach snatches her from the flames engulfing her home and ends up tucking her into his spare bedroom. Little does he know his ability to play nothing more than caretaker until she's back on her feet is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.


Will holiday hearts awaken to passion and new love, or will Zach and Natalie let this chance at new love pass them by?


About the Author


Fiola has always loved to read and cut her teeth on page-turners such as The Forest of Mystery, Robin Hood and Nancy Drew. She grew up a devout tomboy, playing with cowgirl action figures, and getting into mischief back when Silicon Valley wasn't even a gleam in San Jose's eyes.

She loves to live life to its fullest, from riding hell-bent-for-leather on her Appaloosa in gymkhanas to surf-fishing in Hawaii, jumping boulders on the breakwater in Morro Bay to walking barefoot on the beach and dreaming of romance.

Many of her story ideas were found during her travels far and wide, from Corpus Christi TX, where her ancestors are buried in the Pioneer Cemetery to Pendleton OR. From Tucson AZ to Seattle WA to Vancouver BC. She's always on the lookout for that next story, that next place to bury the body. Or lock-lips with a hot guy.

She kicks-ass and take names in beautiful but weird Portland, Oregon with her amazingly talented son and daughter-in-law and their most affectionate cat Nudge.

VBT: Exit Signs by Patrice Locke


Exit Signs
by Patrice Locke

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:   Romantic Comedy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Tracy Price has a documentary-style life until rockstar Jesse Elliot rewrites her script and takes the wheel to drive her crazy.

In her quest to find a writer missing since the 1930's, Tracy thinks she has discovered exactly how to handle her new relationship. But she may be listening to the wrong voice. 

Then Tracy and Jesse find out they've both been keeping some big secrets, and the truth may ruin everything.

Will sharing the missing writer's story open both their hearts?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Excerpt Two:

Jesse lunged toward me. It was too late. I had already launched. He reached out but didn’t connect. Instead, I broke the trajectory of my upper body by grabbing him at chest level and sliding down. He was pushed backward into the table, which stabilized our ungainly host-parasite tableau. He softened my landing so that physically I was fine, but my pride was ready for intensive care.

Heaped at his feet, like a demented penitent, I hugged his knees, my face pressed flat into his thighs. I might as well stay down. What’s worse? To stand up and face you, or remain here, nestled between your legs? What do you think? Then, the finishing touch: I erupted into nervous, snorting laughter. He guessed there was no serious injury.

“It’s nice to see you, too. You are okay, aren’t you? Can you stand?” He reached for my arms to unwrap them from his legs and help me up. I jammed my eyelids together to conjure up a do-over, but no such luck.

I would have to deal with it.

He held my elbows in his hands. “I guess we were both in a hurry to see each other.”

I do appreciate your attempt to lighten the mood, but you are standing SO close. I can feel your body heat. Or is that mine? By the way, you smell tart and fresh, like a lime.

I stared at his shoulder. My dignity meter was stuck on empty.

“Enthusiastic greeting. Thanks for that.” He was blatantly amused.

“It was nothing.” I stepped backward to regain a semblance of independence. Don’t mock me. But, you did go to all the trouble to bring your hair. And your eyes. I might forgive you for witnessing my disgrace. That hair.
   

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

As a journalist, Patrice Locke wrote a lot of stories with unhappy and even tragic endings.
Facts are facts, and a writer doesn't mess with facts.

But fiction is another world. Patrice began writing novels, where she could control the endings and make them as happy as she wants. The best thing about fiction, she says, is having time to think before her characters speak, so they can say the things most of us only come up with after the perfect moment has passed.

She loves to write, read, and watch romantic comedies where life always turns out the way it should. Her only obsessive relationships are with semicolons and Oxford commas.

Though she doesn't like to brag, Patrice is an award-winning artist. She won a gold and diamond watch when she was 13 for decorating a turkey drumstick bone to look like Batman. Alas, that was her last recognition in the fine arts.

Patrice lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the blue sky is brilliant, the air is thin, and the vistas are breathtaking. She is none of those things, which is one reason she enjoys living among them.

Interview with Patrice Locke

Where do you get inspiration for your stories?

I’m usually inspired by something from history. For “Exit Signs,” the inspiration came from my interest in New Mexico and my fascination with the 1930s, everything from the movies to the way people dealt with the treacheries of the Great Depression.
For my newest story, I am putting my long-time interest in the old Albuquerque High School building complex, which is 100 years old and has been converted into urban lofts. The idea that generations of teenagers spent time wrestling with all their adolescent and hormonal urges just piques my imagination.

How did you do research for your book?
Though “Exit Signs” is a romantic comedy, there’s lots of New Mexico history in it – I have a passion for that subject and taught NM history for five years, so that was research of something I already love. The other research consisted of information from the 1930s, which I’ve always been fascinated by. I read lots of books from the 1930s because I was interested in the economy of the period and in the writing style, so I could copy it for the secondary story of the missing writer.

My research is reading, reading, reading.


Do you have another profession besides writing?

I have a journalism degree from Michigan State and I worked as a news reporter and editor for various newspapers and radio stations.

Then I got my teaching certificate and a masters’ degree in education. I’ve taught New Mexico history and language arts at middle schools forever. I also taught writing at a community college for about 14 years.

If you could go back in time, where would you go?

So many choices. I can think of about 20, but if I had to choose, I think I’d go to London between the World Wars. I have a passion for a writer who chronicled her life from Victorian Times through the late 1940s and she lived most of that time in and around London. Her name is M.V. Hughes. I’d like to meet her. I think it would be fun to find someone who’s known to me, but not too famous. If I arrived before the mid 1920s, I’d take a train up to Scotland and look up my grandparents as well. My grandfather and grandmother met in kindergarten at Bon Hill School outside of Glasgow. I’d like to witness that because the two of them ended up spending the rest of their lives together. What a love story.

What is your next project?

The working title is “Ghostsitter” and it’s set in the old Albuquerque High School I mentioned earlier. I’m experimenting with a narrator who is unreliable and possibly unlikeable, though the more I get to know her, the more I like her. She’s going to create a fabulously successful ghost story, and I’m really looking forward to writing that.
