AVAILABLE NOW!

SYNOPSIS

To get what he wants, he’ll have to play a game of dirty pool.
Michel Marcello never wanted to be a mafioso like every other man in his family—he wanted to be more. That doesn’t mean he’s unfamiliar with the life, or that he can’t hold his own against other made men.
They forgot where he came from …
His chance encounter with the fiery and beautiful daughter of Detroit’s most notorious Irish mob boss stokes flames beyond the ones that ignite between Michel and Gabbie Casey. Rivals shouldn’t mix, but these opposites have never been more attracted, either.
The lines between family loyalty, their duties, and responsibility begin to blur.
Love ruins all.
But these two aren’t the only ones playing this game, and it just became far more dangerous to get out alive.
*
Dirty Pool is a standalone romantic suspense.

EXCLUSIVE RELEASE EXCERPT

“Here, duckies!”
Michel’s dark chuckles came close to her ear as his nose grazed the back of her neck. Gabbie had all she could do not to shiver from the feeling of his lips pressing to her skin with featherlight kisses.
“I don’t think they recognize being called duckies,” he murmured.
“Shut up.”
“I’m just saying they don’t speak human, Gabbie.”
She didn’t mind his teasing.
Much.
“Says the man who had a small bag of birdseed in his car because bread is bad for the ducks.”
His hands landed on her waist, and she loved the way his fingers dug into her sides. He squeezed, a silent warning for her to stop the teasing. She heard it loud and clear, not that it made much of a difference. If he could dish it, then the man would learn to take it.
That was Gabbie’s way.
“I told you, I jog here.”
“Yes, with birdseed for the duckies, apparently.”
“Because they quack at me when I pass, and I feel bad for them.”
“Mmhmm. Of course, you do.”
Michel let out a laugh. “You’re impossible.”
Gabbie winked at him over her shoulder as she pulled out a handful of birdseed. Michel wasn’t wrong—bread was terrible for ducks. It got stuck to the roof of their mouths, and if it did get in their bellies, it would swell up to make them think they were full when they weren’t. It was harder for them to digest, too.
She adored he had birdseed in his car to toss to the ducks when he jogged at the park. He wasn’t all bad, despite what people in her family liked to say about the Italians. How could someone be bad if they remembered to feed the ducks when they went jogging?
It was sweet, really.
“You must be getting hungry,” he said.
“A little.”
“You want to go—”
“Not yet.”
She was enjoying this.
The park, peaceful at almost midnight, was dark and quiet. There wasn’t a soul around, and  the small pond was rarely ever this empty when she came to see it in the daytime.
“I like that you chose here for a date,” she said.
Michel rested his chin on her shoulder, and wrapped an arm tightly around her middle. “Oh, why is that?”
“Most guys would pick a club, or something. Dinner, and a show. The usual. I like this better. It’s just us, and we can talk.”
“I would have taken you for all that other shit, too, but it’s late.”
It was.
Most restaurants were closed, although she was sure they could find a hole-in-the-wall diner to eat at, if they really wanted to. Not that any of the food would be the kind of stuff she was supposed to eat. Michel probably knew that, too, and took it into consideration without telling her he was doing it.
She appreciated it.
Gabbie grinned. “All of that for a date, too?”
“Yeah, probably not. I wanted to be alone with you … can’t exactly do that when there’s other people around, can I?”

Violet Marcus’s life is settled. She has it all: a place of her own, a
business where her temper has its uses, and great people who work for her.


But something is missing. The problem is, her stubbornness refuses to admit how
lonely she actually is.


She lost the one man she thought she could marry, a university love, but when
their careers drive them in different directions they went their separate ways.


Now he’s back.


He’s also changed.


Unsure if she wants to hug him or throat punch him, she keeps her distance. Or
tries to.

Travis Stewart moves to Ballarat for one
reason—to have Violet back in his life. His love has never diminished. Not
through the years, the distance, or even in the underworld he finds himself a
part of.

He will always love her.

Now he just has to convince Violet that his
heart is hers, and his soul isn’t as black as it seems.

His mission is simple: get Violet to understand
they have a future together before getting kneed in the balls. Easy, especially

Genre: Romantic Comedy


By the readers' favorite award-winning author, Barbara Oliverio. Barbara's "Love on the Lido Deck" was recently made into a Hallmark Channel Movie.

Annalise Fontana is feeling blue with no job, no boyfriend, and packed among her childhood memories in her parents' home. What could be more enticing than the opportunity to serve as a companion to her elderly Auntie Lil on a senior citizens' tour of China (with a side trip to Singapore)? She digs out her passport and packs her bags and assumes that she's in for a tranquil Jane Austenesque journey.

Nothing could be further from the truth as the trip takes a turn before they even leave the country. What follows is a lively journey with a cast of quirky travel companions who are anything but dull. The Fontana girls immediately fit in to the festive group.

While visiting heart-stopping sights, Annalise also has her heart begin pounding faster as she meets a number of charming young men. But who is the mysterious, brooding stranger who seems to pop up on the streets of Singapore, in Beijing's Forbidden City, and stays on her mind at the Great Wall of China?

Guest Post
Writing Just Ain’t for Sissies
By Barbara Oliverio
Oh sure, we’ve all seen it in the movies. Someone announces that she is going to write that book she’s always wanted to write. Friends and family are tentative, but loving and supportive. Fast forward while she is sits at a pristine desk or cozily tucks into a corner at the coffee shop with just her laptop and a latte, then, bang, she’s at a book signing standing behind a huge pile of hardbacks, with a line of eager fans stretched outside the (brand name, chain) bookstore waiting for a signed copy. Friends and family are so proud. Minutes later, her agent is talking about the movie rights. That is exactly how it works.

Right.

If Hollywood documented most journeys, they might look a bit more like this:

Our heroine finally decides to write a book. She may have thought about this for her whole life, or it may be a relatively recent dream. In any case, she’s thought quite a bit about taking this plunge. Chances are she is not independently wealthy, so she worries about how to pay for minor things like, oh, food and shelter while writing, and that is what has kept her from starting her project up to this point. When she finally determines a workable plan, she tentatively announces her decision.

Well-meaning people weigh in: “Are you sure?” one asks. “Don’t you realize how hard this will be?” says another. And those are the supportive comments. She assumes a brave-little-toaster smile and nods. Despite this lukewarm support, she soldiers onward.

(Not so) fast forward, she completes the necessary research. Despite the myth of the “muse”, she knows that writing is just as much a skill as an art. She studies nuances, learns the subject matter, and perhaps takes classes or seminars. She wonders just how Jane Austen ever did this in the pre-computer era.

Her desk is an explosion of notebooks, scraps of paper holding random ideas for dialog, pictures ripped from magazines, reference books, good luck charms, chocolate bar wrappers, teacups, and other items that are essential to her process. If she does move her operation to the coffee shop for a few hours, she lugs her computer, scouts out the seat near an electrical outlet so that she can make sure she will be fully charged, and probably has a backpack chock full of notes with her.

Manuscript complete, she edits and re-edits (then re-edits yet again) as she pitches to agents hoping for representation or takes a chance and decides to independently publish. In any case, going from manuscript to actual book takes roughly the amount of time as gestation of an elephant.

She launches her book and works on publicity, including book club visits, signings at small and large bookstores and any other avenue she can manage. She maintains her presence daily on every social media site. Ah. Finally the glamour -- she is a published author! (Never mind the physical therapy bill for dragging cartons of books hither and yon.)

Encountering the same people who were skeptical when she embarked on the project, she is excited and proud to let them know she completed the book. At last! Maybe they’ll acknowledge that her leap of faith paid off.

The response: “Oh. Nice…When will your next one be out?”

Writing just ain’t for sissies.
