Falling_CoverFalling for Her Enemy

Still Harbor #2

by Victoria James

Releasing November 9, 2015

Entangled Bliss

Blurb:

Sheโ€™s falling for the one man who could destroy everythingโ€ฆ

Alex McAllister always dreamed of a life filled with the laughter and love of a family, but being abandoned at a young age left her wary of letting anyone in. Now that sheโ€™s settled in Still Harbor, Alex struggles between keeping her distance and the magnetic pull of the handsome stranger who claims heโ€™s the biological father of her adopted daughter.

Hayden Brooks never wanted to be a father. Long hours spent building his familyโ€™s real estate empire suits him just fine. But when he discovers an ex put the baby he unknowingly fathered up for adoption, his world crumbles. He tracks the child to Still Harbor with the intention of bringing her homeโ€”and comes face to face with his daughterโ€™s stunning adoptive mother.

The paternity test is in. And Haydenโ€™s about to make the most shocking decision of his life, just in time for Christmasโ€ฆ

Victoria_JamesAuthor Info:

Victoria James is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance.

Victoria always knew she wanted to be a writer and in grade five, she penned her first story, bound it (with staples and a cardboard cover) and did all the illustrations herself. Luckily, this book will never see the light of day again.

In high school she fell in love with historical romance and then contemporary romance. After graduating University with an English Literature degree, Victoria pursued a degree in Interior Design and then opened her own business. After her first child, Victoria knew it was time to fulfill her dream of writing romantic fiction.

Victoria is a hopeless romantic who is living her dream, penning happily-ever-after’s for her characters in between managing kids and the family business. Writing on a laptop in the middle of the country in a rambling old Victorian house would be ideal, but she’s quite content living in suburbia with her husband, their two young children, and very bad cat.

Kissing_CoverKissing Her Crush

Sugar City #2

by Ophelia London

Releasing November 9, 2015

Entangled Bliss

Blurb:

Heโ€™s sweet trouble…ย 

Natalie Holden wants three things: To be the best chocolate chemist in Hershey, Pennsylvania, to prove her chocolate recipe can help teenage depression, and to get over gorgeous Luke Elliott, the guy sheโ€™s had a crush on since birth. Unfortunately, heโ€™s the microbiologist set to debunk her chocolate study. And, of course, he looks more delicious than ever!

Luke Elliott is still bitter over his divorce. Work is his passion now, and landing a huge promotion is just what he needs. What he doesnโ€™t need is a crackpot trying to prove that chocolate cures depression. The last thing he expects is for the crackpot to be Natalie Holdenโ€”his โ€œwhat ifโ€ girl from high schoolโ€”or that sheโ€™d still tempt the hell out of him.

They may not see eye-to-eye on her project, but they canโ€™t deny the explosive chemistry that keeps pulling them together. Even when it risks their jobs and the very different futures they both wantโ€ฆ

Excerpt:

โ€œAre you mad?โ€

โ€œI must be, right? Freakinโ€™ loco in the cabeza.โ€

โ€œI mean, are you angry aboutโ€ฆwhat happened?โ€

โ€œOh.โ€ She bit her lip. Luke remembered how it had felt between his teeth, soft and full. โ€œWhy did you do that, anyway?โ€

โ€œKiss you?โ€

She stared up at the sky. โ€œUm, yeah.โ€

He slid his hands in his pockets and shrugged. โ€œIt was an impulse. You were saying that stuff about it not being a requirement and then the lights went out and, I donโ€™t know. It was entrapment. I had no choice.โ€

โ€œYou always have a choice.โ€

Luke sighed. Of course, she was right. It mightโ€™ve been an impulse, but he couldโ€™ve squelched it. Truth was, heโ€™d been dying to kiss her; he just hadnโ€™t known it until that moment.

โ€œOkay then.โ€ He looked her dead in the eyes. โ€œWhy did you kiss me back?โ€

She rubbed her nose and glanced away. โ€œYeah, um, I claim entrapment, too.โ€

Ophelia_LondonAuthor Info:

USA Today bestselling author Ophelia London was born and raised among the redwood trees in beautiful northern California. Once she was fully educated, she decided to settle in Florida, but her car broke down in Texas and sheโ€™s lived in Dallas ever since. A cupcake and treadmill aficionado (obviously those things are connected), she spends her time watching arthouse movies and impossibly trashy TV, while living vicariously through the characters she writes. Ophelia is the author of AIMEE & THE HEARTTHROB; DEFINITELY, MAYBE IN LOVE; the Abby Road series; Perfect Kisses series; Sugar City series; and the brand new cozy mystery CHALK LINES & LIPSTICK. Visit all her booksย HERE, but donโ€™t call when The Vampire Diaries (or Dawsonโ€™s Creek) is on. #paceylove
