Forbidden Bond


Rae Foxx - 2020
    I did my own thing, played by my own rules.Which is why after my dad died I ran away from everything, only to find myself in a small town, at a tiny bar, hustling drinks to the truckers that liked to sneak peeks of my boobs. They clearly thought I didn’t notice. Oh, I noticed, and if they were nice enough about it I might let them see more than some well-placed cleavage in the back room. Hey, a girl on the move has to take her needs into her own hands, and sometimes my battery-powered boyfriend just isn’t good enough. It was all a good time until one of those handsome bikers that passed my way wanted a bit more than a backroom boink. Damn it all, these guys are persistent.Except there is something about him that makes me want to be around him, and hug him... and kiss him. Not exactly what my internal ‘lone wolf’ is used to. Except it turns out, I’m not the ‘wolf’ in this equation at all… and Luke has been searching for me for a while. A Shifter Romance with secrets, mystery, and lots of pulsing muscles. Happily Every After Guaranteed!

Castaway in the Caribbean


Janice Horton - 2015
    I loved the settings, they really did come alive for me. The waterfall and the cave scenes took my breath away.” Jera’s Jamboree Book Blog “If you want a fun adventure that is fast paced and mentions Treasure Island then this is for you.” Comet Babe’s Books “A very entertaining and fun read. Another great addition to the world of fiction by Janice Horton.” The Book Maven. “A lively romantic adventure, a nice and easy read that I found hugely entertaining, and enjoyable.” Books4U Castaway in the Caribbean Vacationing on the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua, Janey Sinclair is persuaded by her magazine editor boss to do a quick island hop in order to supervise an impromptu photo-shoot for the front cover. With no flights immediately available, Janey is directed to the harbour. Captain Travis Mathews hates tourists, although he’s not above making a bit of money off a prissy and sharp tongued young British girl when she’s desperate to get to the neighbouring island of Tortola. After striking a deal, they set off together in Travis’s weather-beaten old boat. When the vessel comes to a sudden full stop in the sea, the mismatched pair end up as castaways on an uninhabited island. In this fast moving romantic adventure about a vacation that turns into a tropical nightmare there’s more fun than you’ll find in any travel brochure. A message from the author: I was incredibly fortunate to spend most of last summer in the Caribbean, writing and researching this novel. I found it challenging only in the respect of being continually distracted from the manuscript by the tropical sunshine, the white sand beaches, the warm aquamarine sea, rum cocktails, and the fabulous social scene on offer. Many of these distractions are well documented on my website, blog and Facebook page, if you are interested in reading the details and seeing the photos! Janice xx
