What inspired you to write your book?
I adore steamy romance 🙂
Here is a short sample from the book:
Melanie Jacobs and her stepbrother Christian Evans sat in adjoining chairs in the well-appointed conference room of Christian’s new attorney. They were discussing the proposed custody arrangements for their soon to be born child.
Melanie shifted uncomfortably in her seat. As was so often the case in these last weeks of her pregnancy, the baby was performing a tap-dance routine right on top of her bladder and this whole meeting was taking much longer than she expected.
To her relief, Christian finally interrupted his lawyer in mid-sentence. “Let’s take a quick break. I could use some coffee.”
Melanie smiled at him gratefully, then escaped to the nearest ladies’ room. Having taken care of necessities, she stood in front of the sink, washing her hands. As she dried them, she took a hard look at herself in the mirror.
Her belly was enormous now, the baby due in just two weeks. Aside from that, she thought she looked well enough in her simple, navy-blue maternity dress, though it seemed to her critical eyes that the glow that pregnant women were supposed to have somehow seemed to have skipped her.
She imagined that it was because she was pretty tired. They’d been at this all morning, and she was frankly exhausted. Of course, it was much better than her last experience with one of her stepbrother’s lawyers.
Melanie sighed, recalling the events of the past nine months. Her former stepbrother, the dashingly handsome and incredibly wealthy business magnate, Christian Evans, had come back into her life unexpectedly, eight years after Melanie and her mother had been banished from the Evans family. Just as unexpectedly, Melanie found herself seduced by her stepbrother, giving into long-buried feelings for him, melting in his arms and making love with him.
This, of course, had led to her entirely unplanned pregnancy, a pregnancy she’d hid from him for months, not wanting to seem as though she was using the baby as an excuse to get her hands on some of the Evans fortune. Not wanting to be the opportunistic gold-digger her own mother, Beverly had been …

Black & White by Erol Rashit
A young man, Igor, adopts as his mother a middle aged woman, Sylvia, after meeting her in a café, each having come from the nearby cemetery. He had been visiting his mother’s grave; she, her son’s. In taking it upon himself to investigate the death of Sylvia’s son, Igor soon finds himself confronting racists. Sylvia is black; Igor is white. The deeper he delves, the more intricately embroiled he becomes and the more he becomes the focus of a police investigation himself.
Alongside the surface interplay of the characters, Igor remains preoccupied with an inquiry into the nature of existence. Within the field of human activity, notions of ‘good and bad’ and ‘pleasure and pain’ are perhaps bound to prevail, but the essence of existence must precede such differentiation. The presence of suffering in the world should not be taken as proof that the world cannot be perfect. A photograph consisting only of black or only of white would probably seem pretty boring. A world consisting only of good or only of bad would perhaps be comparable to such a photograph. Each extreme acquires its significance by being in juxtaposition with its opposite. Happiness does not result from the elimination of suffering; rather, happiness may ensue when the realm of pleasure and pain has been transcended.
One aspect of the title, Black & White, relates to issues of race. Another aspect relates to Igor’s ability in violent situations to interpret matters in black and white terms. However, it is as a general phrase covering all dualities that the title derives its primary import. The use of the ampersand character in the title imitates its usage by photographers when referring to ‘black & white’ images, and is intended to denote a synthesis of the individual terms into a unitary whole.
The book includes some brief passages depicting scenes of polyamorous sex (pleasure) and homicidal violence (pain).
Will To Love (Lifestyle by Design Book 1) by Miranda P. Charles @MirandaPCharles
Clarise Carson was desperate to keep her newly-engaged sister from playing matchmaker at her very own engagement party. She couldn’t think of anything more embarrassing than have her sister’s guests see her as the loser in love who couldn’t find “The One”. So she dragged a handsome friend to be her “pretend” boyfriend for the night.
Will Matthews went to his friend Rick’s engagement party for one reason – to meet Rick’s future sister-in-law, the writer for Lifestyle by Design magazine, in the hope that he could have an article published for his boutique travel agency service. He knew Rick had plans to introduce him to some single girl at the party but he laughed it off. He had no desire whatsoever to be in a relationship with any woman who would want commitment. He was far too focused in building his business to the success he dreamed.
When Will and Clarise met, sparks flew and there was an instant, undeniable attraction between them. With Will, Clarise found herself wanting to bury demons from the past. But Will knew what he wanted – and it wasn’t a relationship.
How can Clarise stop her old wounds from opening up and bleeding again? And how can Will learn to embrace the one thing he didn’t even know he wanted?
