Claire Baxter's upcoming Random House novella, Anybody But Him, is available for pre-order now!  

What happens when you fall in love with the man you hate?

Nicola Doyle's dating record is a disaster, and it doesn't improve when she returns to Redgum Valley, after an absence of twelve years, to look after her increasingly eccentric parents. There, she's thrown into regular contact with Blair Morrissey – the very reason she couldn't wait to leave town in the first place.

Except Blair doesn't seem to be a ‘bad boy' any more – in fact, he's charming, infuriatingly helpful and extremely attractive.

If only Nicola could forgive and forget . . .



And while we're talking all things Claire Baxter, check out her mention in USA Today.



Until next time, happy reading.

Emmeline.

What do romance writers do when they're not tapping away at the keyboard for hours on end, penning their next masterpiece?

Well, I'd only be guessing, to be honest.  I suspect authors are like fingerprints--no two the same--but I do know what four of our SARAs have been up to...

Victoria Purman has been spending time on the radio at 891 ABC Adelaide, talking with Sonya Feldhoff about her three-book deal coming soon with Harlequin.  

Hear Victoria on the radio here, and find out where in South Australia she's based her first book, Nobody But Him.  And yes, 'throbbing' may be mentioned...

Trish Morey has been traipsing around a bestsellers list in the Number One position.

A Price Worth Paying is #1 Top Ten Best Sellers at Mills & Boon UK.

Congratulations, Trish!

When two bitter rivals…
Why, why does her grandfather's dying wish dictate that Simone Hamilton must marry a man she hates? The marriage might unite their warring families, but formidable Spaniard Alesander Esquivel is the last man on earth Simone would want to be in the same room as—let alone share a marital bed with!

Are forced to take one solemn vow…
Alesander's strongest desire used to be gaining the final piece of his business empire—but now it seems there are more pleasurable diversions for the taking… Having a wife could be useful, especially to entertain him during those sultry hot Spanish nights!

Anne Oliver has been getting manga-fied!  Business in the Bedroom has an exciting new Manga cover.  

Until Zak Forrester comes to terms with his wife’s death it’s strictly business between massage therapist, Abigail Seymour and her brooding workaholic landlord.  Abby is not Zak’s kind of woman; with her wild red hair, she’s alternative and way too perceptive …and she’s playing havoc with his libido.

And finally, Khloe Wren has been building a book trailer!

Her Guardian Angel (Book #1 of Fire and Snow), is due for release on June 1st this year, and Rogue Phoenix Press have featured the trailer on their website. 

The last thing Snow-Leopard Shifter Dominic expects to find at an accident scene is his mate, the beautiful Adele, but after four years of dreaming of her, there she is, right in front of him.  However, winning the heart of his lonely, grieving mate is no simple task.  Just as their relationship begins to heat up a gravely injured child, Kelly, stumbles into their lives after escaping and fleeing her abuser.  Will Dominic and Adele's bond grow stronger as they nurture and protect Kelly?  Will their relationship be able to survive all that fate plans on throwing their way?

Or, find the trailer at Khloe's website.  



And you thought romance authors just wrote great books!  ;)

Until next time, happy reading.

Emmeline.
