No such thing as love… Eddy and Henrik don’t believe in love. At least, that’s what they keep telling themselves. They’ve been burned in the past, and neither wants to be that vulnerable again. A summer fling… That’s all it was ever supposed to be. So why can’t they stop thinking about one another? And for Eddy–who’s moving back to America in a few weeks–the worst thing that could happen would be to fall in love with the one man who could make her question her decision. Out of his comfort zone… Henrik never counted on trusting love again. He’s put all his energy into his career. So why does the thought of Eddy leaving Europe for good make him want to do everything in his power to make her want to stay…? Maybe Tomorrow is a standalone novel in the Maybe… series.

About Kim Golden

I grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and spent most of my childhood summers in Smithfield, Virginia. I’m not sure where my love of words comes from, but I’ve loved books since I was a child and I’ve loved writing stories for as long as I can remember. My parents wanted me to do something practical–be an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer, an accountant. But I always dreamed of doing something completely different. I knew I wanted to be a writer, even if it took a bit of time for me to get to that point. It led me to spend more time writing stories than studying physics and chemistry in high school. It’s what led me study literature and then work on an MFA in Creative Writing at Virginia Commonwealth University. And when I finished my master’s degree, love led me away from the US and brought me to Sweden. So what do I write? I write about relationships, about love. I often write about interracial relationships. I like reading stories about people who are different, who see past the differences and fall in love. And those are the stories I also enjoy writing. I write stories for people who know that love comes in many colors.

To make matters worse, Heidel is now stuck with the incompetent thief in Paris, France, and they have no way to get back home. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Maveryck is keeping secrets from her—secrets about his past and his identity. Plus, he’s far too attractive to be trusted.

Perfect Imperfections (reveal) and Giveaway by J. & L. Wells

Perfect Imperfections
J & L Wells
Publication date: March 2017
Genres: Adult, Romance

I gaze down into the small diamond solitaire, seeing the way the light manipulates its appearance. One small stone, yet it holds so many facets; a slight of hand, a shift of light and it’s all changed, the creation of a different and totally unique pattern. My eyes glance over this beautiful stone, watching all of its changes, and it transforms in an instant, much as the path of my life will soon transform.

At the tender age of twenty-seven, Natasha has twelve weeks until she marries Josh, during which time Josh is offered a fantastic opportunity to run his dad’s company in Florida. Natasha is left at home, but there’s plenty to keep her mind occupied, with her sister’s pregnancy and an artist who paints her portrait – a surprise wedding present to Josh.

Gabriel Owens is a partially sighted artist, who is both sarcastic and short in stature. In his presence, the flaws in his character are exacerbated by Natasha’s seeming ability to say all the wrong things at all the wrong times. But time has a strange way of changing one’s mind, and over the three weeks he is painting her portrait, they become close friends.

Gabriel and Natasha are thrown together, two kindred spirits with very different issues they need to overcome.

Gabriel confesses that he has feelings for her. “Perfect, no, but you’ve no need to be, because, Natasha, I love every one of them … I love them all, every one of your perfect imperfections.”

Gabriel Owens, one hot British Artist. This is the first book in the moment’s series; it can be read as a standalone, no cliff hangers but a heartfelt ending that defiantly won’t disappoint.

Dance With Destiny and Giveaway by Becky Lower

Dance with Destiny
By Becky Lower
Genre: Historical Romance

William Myers feels it’s his duty to answer the call to fight for the Union Army—but his wife, Susannah, doesn’t agree. How does he expect her to survive with four small children in the cold Ohio winter during the three-month enlistment period? Angry and abandoned, Susannah learns soon after William leaves that she is also pregnant again.

Raoul Lafontaine is a half-Ojibwa, half-French-Canadian drifter who is more Indian than white. Also known as Lone Wolf, he has recently left the Ojibwa village in search of a fair-haired woman both he and his grandfather have seen in visions. She is important to him—but how? He will never allow himself to care for another—not after losing the wife he loved so much.

But Raoul could not have planned for the sizzling emotions that surface when he comes near Susannah, nor the love he feels for her children. When he realizes that Susannah returns his feelings, he knows he must leave—for how can he stay close by knowing she can never be his? William will return to his homestead, and they’ll once again be a family. One in which Raoul has no place. Or does he?

Will Fate relent and grant the love between Susannah and Raoul in this DANCE WITH DESTINY?
