Rachel Cray

by Rachel Cray
(London, England)

Rachel Cray has worked in several European countries, first as a secretary and then as an executive assistant, before returning to her roots in Surrey, England, and close to London; for many years she was the director of administration at the London office of a large U.S. law firm before leaving to run her own recruitment company. Now in semi-retirement, she devotes most of her spare time to writing erotic romance novellas, drawing on her life's experiences in a variety of fields. She is married with children and grandchildren.

Rachel is currently busy writing a sequence of stories called the Maybourne Series, a collection of erotic romances set in a fictional market town in England - with old villages, Tudor buildings, a ruined abbey and a host of other picturesque features in both rural and urban settings... as well as a very horny bunch of characters!

Rachel Cray

Rachel Cray writes erotic romance novellas, and has begun a series set in and around the fictional English country market town of Maybourne, and in its surrounding villages.

Although these are all contemporary romances, they have a flavour of a heritage setting - Tudor timber framed houses, ruined abbeys, castles, etc. Spiced with plenty of passion - for adults only!

The two latest (due for publication mid-July) are "A Close Match" and "Village Accounts". Another one (title undecided) should be available at the end of July.

Rachel is a grandmother with a wealth of life experience in a variety of work situations - director of administration at a major US law firm, owner of a recruitment consultancy business, and executive assistant to CEOs in several European countries. She seeks to pull all the strands of her background as material for her stories.

DESPERATE MEASURES

by Cindy Huefner Cromer
(Stuart, FL)

The secret is out AGAIN?! This time lives are in jeopardy.
What should have been the perfect vacation soon became a nightmare. Caitlin Martel made a stop before meeting her family at Miami International Airport. A cryptic message waited for her. She dismissed the threat and assumed it was directed toward the brilliant scientist that she recently hired. Caitlin has no idea that a forgotten secret was about to explode and put her life in jeopardy.

When Caitlin and her family arrive on the Caribbean Island of St. Kitts, they find their dream home vandalized. In the kitchen, another message has been left. In blood, leaving no doubt that Caitlin personally is the target.

In a flashback Caitlin recalls the secret that her father, Jack Spencer, revealed to her sixteen years ago. He didn't tell her everything. Will Jack be able to confront the truth and reconstruct the past in time to save his daughter?

Caitlin's husband Scott, FBI Assistant Director, also believes the threats are related to Caitlin's professional life. Once Caitlin points out the significance of what was left in their home, Scott unofficially brings his top FBI agent, Tomas Medina, to St. Kitts.

When Tomas arrives, his status is quickly upgraded and the investigation becomes official. The third threat creates a direct link to multi-billionaire Lukas Bucklin.

The suspense escalates through twists, turns, and family secrets yet to be revealed. A powerful climax unveils an unlikely alliance between two deadly and dangerous enemies.

The Montezuma Secret
Hunky Trey Zacco, gritty survivalist and host of the Miami-based Holiday Channel's hit "Wildman" series and glitz and glamour girl, Erica Kingsley, host of the channel's "Lap of Luxury" show, are thrown together in the steamy jungles of Belize as a publicity stunt. Erica's father, Arthur Kingsley, the owner of the Holiday Channel, has proposed the angle, not only to boost ratings, but also as a way to toughen up his spoiled daughter. And Kingsley wants them to search for Montezuma's lost gold. Zacco cannot hide his resentment at having to share the spotlight with the flighty fashionista Erica, and he locks horns with her every step of the way even as both try to ignore the strong physical attraction growing between them. But when Arthur Kingsley's plane crashes in the jungle on his way to film the opening of the show, Trey and Erica launch a desperate search to find him. And when, one by one, members of the camera crew are killed and the equipment sabotaged, Trey and Erica find themselves stranded in the middle of the jungle where no rescue crew can reach them.

Shannon Clark

by Shannon Clark
(Rochester, MN - USA)

QUILOCHET - it is a unique title that fits brilliantly with a unique love story involving two people with one destiny; A Gift of the Heart!

When one truly gives their heart to someone else...Does anything else even matter?

Coming to terms with a fatal illness and accepting that there is little to no chance of surviving is exactly what Sarah Davis has done. Shutting out most of her family and friends, she forces herself to go through the motions of day-to-day life. This outlook changes when Sarah is offered a chance to star in a new film.

A relationship develops between her and and the lead actor, Johnny. Keeping secrets and struggling with emotions are the focal point of her life until the new relationship starts to grow. Could she give her love? Should she want to try? Would it hurt Johnny? Now, Sarah is faced with one of the hardest decisions she would ever have to make, but it does not compare to the revelation of Johnny's own dark secret.

Jacob's Courage: A Holocaust Love Story

Jacob's Courage is a tender love story of two young adults living in Salzburg at the time when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. The novel explores the dazzling beauty of young love, powerful faith and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are murdered.

"Gut Wrenching and Heart Rending. Weinblatt’s characters and characterizations compel the reader to read onward. At the end of the read one feels both hope and admiration for the human spirit.” Holocaust Center of Toledo

“And I Cried… This book brings the Holocaust to life and evokes emotions not found in many history books. Weaving together a story of love, passion, horror, and history, Weinblatt left nothing out.” Sylvania Historical Society

“A tender, coming of age tale. This book shows the critical roles that love, determination, and steadfast belief play toward battling one’s demons both physically and mentally. Jacob’s Courage is ultimately a tribute to the triumphant human spirit.” Jewish Book World

“The love story was beautiful and touching. This was such an emotional read. Weinblatt’s vivid descriptions of the time beautifully entwines with the love story. Jacob’s Courage is a powerful story of how love does conquer all. No matter how hard the times are, love and humanity never lose their power.” My Love Affair with Books

"Get ready for a good cry and a heart warming ending as Jacob and Rachel find the courage to live.” Rick Rodgers, author

“This is an amazing book… one of the best reads that I’ve had in a long while and I literally could not put it down.” Jodi Shepard.

Margie Church

by Margie Church
(Midwest)

My newest release is Love Bites. This erotic paranormal is not your usual vampire story. An accidental encounter turns into high stakes love when Jui Fabrice meets Wade Kairos in Germany. She has no idea he's a vampire and Wade has every intention of keeping his secret.

A vineyard cottage is the perfect place for Jui and Wade to make love until he discovers her unique link to his living years. He vows to stay away from her forever, but he can't let her go completely. Wade's repressed human feelings continue rising. He invades Jui's dreams and communicates telepathically with her at will. Evil jealousy consumes him when Jui becomes involved with Rob Hawthorne and she rebukes Wade for his controlling behaviors. Then Wade's lifelong companion dies in a vamp war and his desolation is too much to handle alone. He turns to the only person who cares about him-Jui and during one hot night, he becomes the man she wants.

The Ancient One, Ladislav Husek, learns of Wade's risky human behavior and gives Wade a taste of how viciously he'll die if he doesn't bury his tracks with Jui. Husek promises to turn Jui into his personal playmate and Wade has to choose. Can love prevail over evil in a relationship that never was supposed to happen?

Love Bites is available from Noble Romance (www.nobleromance.com). I'm writing the sequel now and the working title is Dangerous Love. It will be loaded with suspense, dark drama, and sizzling romance.

I also have two other erotic suspense novels out - Awakening Allaire and Avenging Allaire. These contemporary dramas involve murder, kidnapping, white collar crime, drugs, prostitution, and jealous revenge. Nobody is who they appear to be. These two books will have you laughing, crying, holding your breath and sighing before you're finished reading. Get them at 1RomanceEbooks dot com or Amazon.

Lastly, my erotic novella, Wet, will be out as an EBook on August 16 from Noble Romance. This short M/F story is self-combustible.
