What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I've loved the city of Savannah since my first vacation there as a kid. Its little wonder that Eric and Leia hid out in the beautiful and historic Georgia town. It would have been my first choice too! I've tried my hardest let my readers experience a taste of the city while getting swept up in the lives of my characters. I think books are an incredible way to experience the world without leaving your hometown.

Resisting the Billionaire by Allie Winters

Targeted Age Group:: adult

-Gabriel-
When I’m forced to make a deal with my father to marry the woman of his choosing for a business deal, I never expected to find someone I connect with. Someone who doesn’t fawn all over me because I’m the heir to a billion dollar fortune. Someone who sees the real me. And someone I can’t get enough of in turn.
There’s only one problem – I can’t have her. She’s the wedding planner.

-Mackenzie-
It’s the chance of a lifetime – plan the wedding of a billionaire’s son that’ll put my event planning business on the map and get me out of debt. A no brainer, right?
Except the bride wants nothing to do with this arranged marriage. And as the groom and I get closer, the professional lines between us blur until there’s something there neither of us can deny. With my business on the line and our chemistry off the charts, I’m torn whether I should keep resisting the one person I never expected to fall for.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I love writing stories that have a slight twist on an established trope. In Resisting the Billionaire, our hero is forced into an arranged marriage by his father, but it's not his fiancee he ends up falling in love with – it's the wedding planner. Putting characters into difficult situations and watching them overcome them is always very satisfying.

Passionate Destiny by Dee S Knight

Dr. Margaret Amis-Hollings, professor of women’s studies at a small New Jersey college, is a woman who confidently knows who she is and what she expects of life. Until she loses her teaching position and her well-ordered life gets turned upside down. Then, in a subtle stroke of whimsy, fate tosses her a gift in an historic home and property in Virginia.

Harboring visions of Gone With the Wind, she determines to use River Peace as a temporary reprieve from her troubles. Images of Tara quickly evaporate when she arrives to discover the reality of her inheritance, however.

River Peace has history, grace and style going for it. After only one night, Margaret discovers that it also has a ghost. She’s visited by a male spirit from the time of the War Between the States, who knows how to make a woman feel special. And very loved.

Aaron Belton meets Margaret when she first arrives in Virginia. He’s renowned for historic renovations on a multitude of properties, but he’s got a special place in his heart for River Peace. He and his family believe the property always should have belonged to them. In fact, Aaron will do almost anything to make that happen. When his passion for the house changes to a passion for the house’s owner, Aaron’s as surprised as anyone. Can he gain both, the woman and the house? To do so, he’ll have to face a spectral being.

And his own destiny.

Featured Book: The Dating Itinerary by Brooke Williams

Leave a Comment

As if it wasn’t bad enough to be deemed the “most single person” at her magazine’s office, budding reporter Penny has now been tapped to write a series of features called “The Dating Itinerary.” From speed dating to Tinder, old-fashioned matchmakers to up-and-coming “dark dating,” Penny now has to go on a lot of dates. Silver lining: meeting new people should be fun, right? But running into her old rival, George, at her first dating event is decidedly not. Not only does the arrogant know-it-all have zero trouble attracting women, wherever Penny goes, somehow he just. Keeps. Showing. Up.

Geo knows he’s right on the cusp of writing success with the chance to have his own syndicated column. All he has to do is follow his agent’s ideas for showcasing different dating avenues, and he’ll pull in enough to help his sister’s non-profit women’s shelter get off the ground. Sure, his itinerary is starting to look strangely similar to his old rival Penny’s, but all’s fair in love and syndication, right?

The more they look for love in all the wrong places, though, the more they start to wonder if it was right in front of their noses all along. Still, the brutal dating scene just might end them, if these two don’t kill each other first.

Making the Switch by Tara Eldana

Leave a Comment

Targeted Age Group:: 18-65

He was left alone, unsure of his future…She always thought she knew her path in life until someone got in the way.

CAUTION: Alpha hero, bad-boy romance that’s utterly addictive and outrageously satisfying.
“I love the way this amazing author brings the characters to life before your eyes and makes you feel their emotions ….”
~ 5 stars, Amazon Reviewer



Kristin Meadows loves her nights at KinkLink. The club is her outlet to release her desires and as a domme she anticipates the play — controlling her sub, gaining their trust, their loyalty. She loves it all. So why in the heck is she panting after her best friend’s husband’s brother? Yeah, the guy equaled sex on a stick but he was no more a sub than she was, and two doms don’t play. And to top it all off, the father she never knew she had, turns out to be a thug and suddenly wants to spend quality time with his daughter? Who needs a father figure now? All she’s trying to figure out is why she can’t get Ryan Boynton out of her head!


Ryan Boynton is struggling with his role. Having been a sub the last years and being pushed to his limits he realized the lie he’d been living all this time. He was happy for his brother, he got the girl — and he wasn’t even missing the sharing they used to play, but he did miss his brother’s wife’s friend, the hot babe he fell for at their wedding. But there’s one problem. Neither of them were subs. Neither of them were true doms. So what the hell were they? All Ryan knew, is that it’s time to find out — and that there will be a lot more switching going on.

Sometimes finding the love of your life is all about making a switch.

The steamy standalone novels in Tara Eldana’s Kinklink series are best read in order:

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I spent my teenage and young adult years in Nova Scotia, and I wanted to write a contemporary story that featured the beauty of Cape Breton Island. I've experienced a second chance romance myself, and I wanted that to be a major part of the story. I wanted the story to be a combination of getting to know the family as well as having some romance. I also wanted there to be a surprise ending!
