Undeniable Fate by Mia London

“Lily.” His finger lifted her chin, his thumb brushed her lower lip. “I’m not lying. I mean every word. Your body is perfect.”

My story is about a project manager, Lily Bennett, who makes a business trip to Rome and meets Brandon Morgan along the way. There’s a bizarre twist of fate when the hotel double-booked the room and Brandon enters her room by mistake. In the four days

they have together, he slowly breaks down her insecurities and she dares to hope for more.

As CEO, Brandon is responsible for his company’s latest acquisition, one that will prove he can handle anything thrown his way. He just hadn’t planned on the encounter of a lifetime with Lily. But as a classic Type-A driver, a relationship is absolutely out of the question.
I enjoyed seeing how these characters transformed before me. And I knew my readers would fall in love with them. In fact, I was nearly 80% done when I realized the readers would want more of Lily and Brandon. So, this is in fact book 1 of a 2-book series. But don’t worry. There are no cliffhangers.

Temptations of Christmas Future by Lexi Post

She thought she could stop him. Save him.
He didn’t need saving. He needed—her.

Temptations of Christmas Future is the 3rd in the Christmas Carol Series, but definitely not the last. It’s the story of two Spirits of Christmas Future who are helping a young widow move on with her life. Usually, spirits aren’t paired, but this is a tough case. So tough that I’ll have to write the fourth book for next Christmas, but don’t worry, this IS NOT a cliff hanger.

Malcolm is from Scotland in the future and he has a very pessimistic attitude about, well, everything, including women, but he has good reasons. Joy is from present day America, the Southwest to be exact. She is the ultimate optimist despite being a hospice nurse while still among the living. Of course, opposites attract and she is so attracted to Malcolm that she even dreams about him, and who wouldn’t? The man is walking sensuality. I may have had a couple dreams about him myself. Just sayin.

Sadly, the pressure of this particular assignment will break them both down, which will have them turning to each other for comfort and some hot bedroom, and non-bedroom, experiences. Still, comfort is one thing and success another. Unfortunately, the two may not be compatible, in which case, someone will have to pay the price for failure. Who? I can’t say as that would spoil it, but I promise there will be a happily ever after.

Highland Oath by C.A. Szarek

He’d never had a lover like his little healer. She was so free, so receptive and reactive to his touch, his kiss. Would that she felt the same way about his heart.

Highland Oath is Angus' story, for those of you are familiar with my Highlanders. If you're not, that's okay! His book is the first of a "spin-off" series and it was a long time in coming. It's special to me because Angus is 9 years old in the first book of my first trilogy (Highland Secrets), and then he's a 92 year old grandfather in Highlander's Portrait. I revisited him with his parents' story in The Princess and The Laird, (series prequel) so he's been with me for a long time. His story was AWESOME to write, so it was great to see him meet his very own HEA, Lila.

Claiming Emerson by Heather Miles

“By day, I charmed wealthy benefactors into gifting the art world with their money and time. By night, I was the gift and my time didn’t come cheap.”
 
Claiming Emerson is book one in a new series by Heather Miles. It’s the beginning of Emerson Anee’s story. How she became the youngest curator to ever grace the floors of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the same time as being one of the most exclusive escorts in New York City. By day, she charms wealthy benefactors into gifting the art world with their money and time, but by night, she was the gift and her time didn’t come cheap. She lived a double life, conservative in one world, daring and risky in the other. It was a shell game. The art of illusion wasn’t just something she’d become proficient at, she lived it.  This is the story of what molded her into the woman she became and the men who tried to claim her as theirs.

A Twist on Fate by Jillian Stone

They say that you don’t meet people by accident, that you cross paths with strangers for a reason. But then memes about fate are for morons, right? Thing is—after what just happened—I’m not so sure anymore…

Jenn Fenstermaker should be grateful––no––thrilled to be an assistant producer for Storyville Pictures. But the script is in rewrite, and the last thing her flagging film industry career needs is another box office mega bomb. Chronically late to work, she cuts off a BMW on the freeway.

Gabriel Tobias Grant feels terrible about the damage to Jenn’s car. He’s also attracted to the bold, beautiful young woman. Gabe is a San Francisco chef/entrepreneur and as a way of making amends, he offers to cook dinner. Both Jenn and Gabe are in for an amazing night of orgasmic appetizers, à la his sensuous grilled scallops, but neither one is prepared to deal with what happens next—an unwelcome intrusion by a stranger.

On A Whim by J.M. Walker

“You, my sweet girl, are a brat and I’m going 
to have fun showing you exactly what I do to them.”

On A Whim is about Kiki Smith and Bo Layden. Both of them work in the book world. Kiki’s a graphic designer and falls into her work after getting stood up at the altar. Bo on the other hand, gets screwed out of thousands of dollars by people he thought he could trust and is on a hunt for a new designer. When he contacts Kiki under his author name, B. Vesper, she doesn’t realize that they are actually the same guy. Cue dramatic music. This story was fun because Kiki was something fresh and Bo was my typical dark Alpha male…with a J.M. Walker twist.

I'm so excited to be a part of the BLAME IT ON FATE anthology and to share each of the author's brief comments about their stories with our readers—on release day!

This box set is all about the role fate often plays in the lives of lovers.

Many of these stories are full length novels so be prepared for hours of reading pleasure.

Forced to step into the shoes of a near-identical ancestress, she is desperate to get back - until she falls for the very man her counterpart most wanted to avoid.

Imprisoned by the witch, Toren Limont the High Sorcerer and Protector of the Fae’s magic, uses the last of his magical reserves to go forward in time and find a healer. He merely seeks the small respiteof healing to withstand the witch’s tortures long enough for his clan and siblings to flee.

Magic, Mages, and Rogues with C.A. Szarek

She’s on the run, but doesn’t know it…


Raised in the security of the king’s castle, Lady Elissa Durroc remembers nothing of the death of her family or how she survived it. As an elemental mage with control over all four elements, her powers are rare. And coveted by dark magic. None darker than the mage who killed her parents.


When the king learns the mage knows Elissa is alive, he orders her to Greenwald under the guise of choosing a husband. Her protection falls to Sir Alasdair Kearney, a knight whose prowess on the battlefield is rivaled only by his appetite for women.


Alasdair’s not sure what to make of being a glorified nursemaid, despite Elissa’s beauty and intriguing magic. The rogue has rules. Rules that don’t involve being tempted by his noble charge.


Elissa is drawn to the knight, even though he’s not on her list of suitors. Can she guard her heart and her magic? And when the dark mage comes after her, will it be too late to matter?

 Kobo     Amazon     iTunes    Barnes&Noble

I asked each author who their favorite character in their book within the boxed set is?  

C.A. Szarek 

The hero of my story, Duncan MacLeod. He’s yummy, of course, but a caring family man who fights for what’s right, as well as what he wants. He’s tough on the outside, and mushy on the inside and he loves hard. I just love him. Oh, and he wears a kilt. What’s not to adore?

Callie Hutton

My Favorite character is probably Marshal Shannon. He is so perplexed by this strange woman who dresses scandalously and doesn’t seem to know her place. Women should not be doing what this woman does.

Clover Autrey
(Okay yeah, I asked myself too. Awkward)

I'd have to say my heroine, Charity Greves. She's an out-of-the-box thinker who rolls with being a modern woman thrown into the 13th Century and is brave enough to admit when she's messed something up and then brush her borrowed kirtle off and figure out how to fix it. I also love the thoughts that sprout in her head. I mean, traveling back to mingle with dashing Scotsmen is romantic and all, but a gal is simply going to miss plumbing and Diet Coke.
Wouldn't you?


Brenda Hiatt

Probably the best friend Annette, in the modern parts of the story. She's the one who gets to live my fantasy of showing the girl from the past all the wonders of the twenty-first century. She's also loosely based on an actual friend of mine, which made her great fun to write!

Laura Marie Altom

Wolfe!! At first, this bad-boy Medieval prince seems hopelessly overbearing and full of himself, but over the course of the story, he ends up being a sweetheart I fell in love with, and so does his heroine, Lucy!

Louise Clark

Jaclyn Sinclair, my time travelling heroine. I love that she’s up to the challenge of surviving in a world she’s only read about and how she manages to twist all the males she meets around her finger, even though she’s a modern, liberated female masquerading as a boy. I also admit to having a soft spot for Sean O’Dell, my Fenian hero.

Tamara Gill

My heroine, Maddie (Madeline). She’s feisty and no matter how much she knows she should not, she doesn’t take any bullying from her medieval husband. I just love her gumption.

The middle of nowhere just got a lot more interesting!

Nerdy astronomy geek Marsha, M to her few friends, has never been anybody special. Orphaned as an infant and reluctantly raised by an overly-strict "aunt," she's not even sure who she is. M's dream of someday escaping tiny Jewel, Indiana and making her mark in the world seems impossibly distant until hot new quarterback Rigel inexplicably befriends her. As Rigel turns his back on fawning cheerleaders to spend time with M, strange things start to happen: her acne clears up, her eyesight improves to the point she can ditch her thick glasses, and when they touch, sparks fly--literally! When M digs for a reason, she discovers deep secrets that will change her formerly mundane life forever . . . and expose her to perils she never dreamed of. Yes, the middle of nowhere just got a lot more interesting!

CLOVER: How often to you get lost in a story?
BRENDA: Not as often as I'd like! I spend so much time writing these days that I don't have nearly as much reading time as I used to. But when I do get a chance to sink into a book, I ADORE getting swept up in it to the point it becomes hard to re-focus on the "real" world.

CLOVER: What’s the first thing you do when you finish writing a book?
BRENDA: Stare at the last line in disbelief (am I really DONE??) then celebrate! I've trained my hubby well that typing "The End" totally merits a nice dinner out--and sometimes roses. :)

CLOVER: If you were given a chance to travel to the past where would you go and specifically why?
BRENDA: Probably Regency England, because I've written so many (13 to date) books set there. It would be fascinating (and probably very eye-opening!) to see how closely all of my research matches the real thing! Also, just absorbing how the people lived, talked, played, ate, worked, etc. would be a life-changing experience, I'm sure! I wouldn't want to stay forever, though. I'd miss modern medicine--and flush toilets!--too much! LOL!

CLOVER: I love that we are in a boxed set together with books focusing on time travel. Tell us a little about the book you have in this set.
BRENDA: For years, I fantasized about how much fun it would be if a girl from the past suddenly landed in the present and I got to show her around "my" world, watching her reactions to everything that was so very different from what she was used to. At the same time, I also imagined traveling back in time to see how things REALLY were back then. Bridge Over Time is how I fulfilled both fantasies, by having my two heroines switch places in time and go through both the hassles and the wonders of learning about and fitting into their new settings. (And falling in love with totally unexpected men, of course!)

CLOVER: What do you have coming up next?
BRENDA: Starfall, the 4th and final book in my Starstruck series of young adult science fiction  romances.

Brenda would like to know: Do you mostly stick to one genre/subgenre as a reader, or do you read several? (And if several,which ones?)

She never believed in magic…

   She never imagines she’ll get sucked back to the seventeenth century while running on the beach—that’s what she gets for exercising when she should be relaxing.

He knows with a harsh certainty magic exists...

   The Fae have taken his brother—Laird of his clan. Duncan MacLeod finds a bonnie naked and confused lass. He’s convinced Claire arrived in 1672 through the Faery Stones—a magical portal he’s been scouring the lands for over the past six months.

At last, he has someone who’s been through the Faery Stones and can help him find them—and get his brother back.

   Duncan promises to help Claire get home, even though his desire to have her wars with his vow.

CLOVER: How often to you get lost in a story?

C.A. Szarek: All the time! I love to read as much as I love writing! So, I read often and diversely. Sometimes it takes me a while to finish a book since I write almost every day, but I’m always reading something.

CLOVER: What’s the first thing you do when you finish writing a book?

C.A. Szarek: Cry. I hate that I’m admitting that, but it’s the truth. LOL. Then I jump for joy. If I was a drinker, I’d get drunk, but I usually physically jump for joy, and high-five whoever’s close. Then watch way too much TV before I dive into the next book.

CLOVER:  If you were given a chance to travel to the past where would you go and specifically why?

C.A. Szarek: Easy. I would go to Scotland. Probably in the 17^th century, like my heroines in this series. That’s a fascinating time in Scotland’s history and the Clan system has always intrigued me. I would love to see it live, even though life for a woman in that time wasn’t always a piece of cake.  

CLOVER: I love that we are in a boxed set together with books focusing on time travel. Tell us a little about the book you have in this set.

C.A. Szarek: My book is about city girl from 2014 who’s fascinated by anything Scotland. Claire is from Texas and goes to the Highlands on vacation. She gets sucked into 1672 by accident when running on the beach, and meets Duncan. He changes her mind about the drive for finding modern times again. Duncan’s twin brother was kidnapped by the Fae, so Claire has to help him find him, and they fall in love along the way.

This was a super fun write for me, and this book is the first of a trilogy, there are two more stories, both of which I adore.

Meet C.A.!

Multigenre, award winning and bestselling author of romantic suspense and fantasy romance, C.A. is originally from Ohio, but got to Texas as soon as she could. She is married and has a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice.

She works with kids when she’s not writing.

She’s always wanted to be a writer and is overjoyed to share her stories with the world.

Let's find out more!

Lara: How often to you get lost in a story?

C.A.: Oh, all the time! I read as much as I write, or I try to. I feel like if writers don’t read, we get too stuck in our own heads, or at least I do.

Lara: Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?

C.A.: LOL! I can’t choose! I love them both! I guess it depends on what mood I am in. I love fairy tales because they leave you smiling and feeling warm and fuzzy inside. I love action adventures because they leave you on the edge of your seat rooting for the characters all the way.

Lara: What is your hero’s “kryptonite” – in other words, what will bring him instantly to his knees?

C.A.: Losing his family. Duncan is a strong highland warrior but he needs his brother, father, and sister to live instead of survive. And of course, he’s even worse after he falls in love. Then he can’t imagine losing Claire. [Lara: All together now: "Awww!"]

Lara: What’s your favorite “love” word?

C.A.: I guess I’m simple, so “love” does it for me. LOL. [Lara: If it ain't broke...]

Lara: Where do you read and how often?

C.A.: As much as I can. I have a kindle, and a nook and a tablet with both apps and a kobo app too. I read mostly ebooks these days. I try to read at least one a book a week.

Lara: Do you write while listening to music? If so what kind?

C.A.: Yes. I need it for “background” noise. I usually listen to the songs on my iPhone, which are mostly rock and alternative. Or I put on the radio, tuned in to 102.1 the edge.

Lara: Which of your characters would you most/least to invite to dinner, and why?

C.A.: Most, please. Cole Lucas, the hero of the first book in my romantic suspense series, Crossing Forces. His book is called Collision Force. He’s an FBI agent and he’s a smart-mouth, so we have that in common. I think he’d been interesting to talk to given his work history. Oh, and plus he’s super hot. [Lara: Naturally! :)]

Lara: Tea or Coffee? And how do you take it?

C.A.: Coffee. With lotsa cream and sugar. It’s tan when I’m done. LOL.

Lara: What could we find in your heroine's purse?

Image credit

C.A.: Claire isn’t much of a girly-girl, so she doesn’t carry a purse. She goes back in time with nothing but her MP3 Player (Literally, her clothes go bye-bye) but if she was in 2014 Texas where she’s from, I guess she’d have her wallet and ID. She’d have a small bag with chapstick and a pen, maybe a small notebook. She’s pretty practical. Oh, she’d definitely have her e-reader.

Lara: How did you come up with the idea for your book?

C.A.: Honestly, this one was one of those sit-up-in-bed-gasping moment. (at 4:23AM. I looked at the clock) The story hit hard and fast, and complete. I couldn’t wait to write it and I did so in 3 weeks. Not sure where it came from, but it was a blast to write. I have always loved Scottish Highlander romances. Never thought I’d ever write a time travel or anything truly historical, though there’s Fae and Magic, too. This is a trilogy, book 2 will be out in May. So it looks like it will continue to be something coming easily to me (at least I hope). [Lara: I hope so, too! :)]

Lara’s GOTTA ASK:  What are the next five books on your ‘to be read’ pile?

C.A.’s GOTTA ANSWER:   The King, by J.R. Ward. The Hunter, and then The Raider both by Monica McCarty (I’m a lil behind on her series, but I adore it.) Thomas’s Choice by Tina Folsom and last but not least, Heart Fortune, by Robin D. Owens.

Calculated Collision (Crossing Forces Book Three)

Special Agent Lee Dawson has secrets. Secrets that forced her from Dallas to New York City in disgrace two years ago.

She’s the one Nate can’t stop thinking about. The one he let get away. He’s determined to get her back, no matter what she thinks she wants. Being a witness in her case puts them close—and Nate intends to keep it that way.

Can Lee protect her witness and resist the heat between them or will she succumb to her desires and throw them both into danger?
