Ravens Love by Terri Burke
Raven Trevinoa’s life is about to change. Straight out of university, she is looking for the perfect first job to start her career. Answering a cryptic advert in the local paper, Raven is enticed by the idea of money, fancy living and unforgettable experiences.
The last thing she is looking for, as she begins this new journey, is love. Aaron Chapman enters her life—and although the air electrifies every time they’re together, he treats her with disdain.
Trauma pulls her away from him, and miscommunications break hearts. What final tragedy will test their true feelings for one another? Can they overcome these hurdles, and surrender themselves to love? Or will bitterness and confusion triumph in keeping them apart?

FacebookAbout the author:
I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. I considers her friends and family the most important part of my life. My dream is to give up my 9 to 5 and write books full time. I love reading romance novels and decided to write a story of my own. Raven's Love is my first novel.
What inspired you to write your book?
I love reading, I'm addicted. So far this year I've read 96 romance novels. These books inspired me to write my own book.
Here is a short sample from the book:
I’m known by many names: escort, hooker, prostitute, lady of the night,
whore, harlot—but I prefer the term ‘Factotum’. I’m a jack of all trades,
combining diverse knowledge and skills with physical dexterity. I’m well
educated and have learnt almost every Kama Sutra position. My clients
generally don’t hire me for the sex; they hire me for the companionship,
or for arm candy at major events. My name is Raven Trevinoa, but my
clients know me as Cora. I chose the name as an homage to Cora Pearl,
a famous courtesan born in the nineteenth century.
I work for Madame LeBlanc, a highly respected and well-connected
woman among the who’s-who in South Africa. She bases us in
Johannesburg, but we fly around the country when needed. Hell, I’ve
even been overseas with a client. We all live together in a mansion in
Westcliff, a place with magnificent panoramic views over the dense
tree canopy of the city’s prestigious northern suburbs. We all have our
own suites, each including a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a
walk-in closet and a large lounge area. The ladies who live here have
decorated their suites to their own tastes. I’ve made mine ultra-modern, with espresso brown and smoke-grey accents set in geometric shapes.
Clients don’t come into our personal boudoirs, as they enjoy being out
in public or using hotels of their choice.
But how did all this start? I began this journey with my best friend,
Poppy—now also known as Ruby. Let’s go back in time.
Poppy, aka Ruby, is a gorgeous blonde with long wavy hair, skyblue
eyes, fair skin and perfectly proportioned lips. Don’t forget the
killer body. I’m the opposite colouring: chocolate brown hair, grey
eyes and a slightly darker complexion. We are both twenty-one, just
out of university and looking for our first jobs, when we come across a
newspaper article that is vaguely worded and full of intrigue:
Are you female, good looking, have undeniable
sex appeal and are open to new possibilities?

Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design Book 2) by Miranda P. Charles @MirandaPCharles
Jessa Allen knew she was plain and average. Yes, she was brainy and successful in her career as a senior writer for the popular Lifestyle by Design magazine, but she wasn’t a raving beauty who easily attracted hunky, gorgeous men like Rob Granger even if her well-meaning friends wanted her to believe she was. So when Rob asked her out, she was shocked. A seriously handsome man who had magnetism she couldn’t seem to escape wanted her. That wasn’t something that happened everyday.
Rob Granger was instantly attracted to Jessa Allen. She wasn’t the usual type he went for but there was something alluring about her that drew him like a moth to a flame. But he was a self-confessed playboy who had absolutely no plans to be tied down by any woman. He valued his freedom, first and foremost and his expanding business was the only thing he was committed to. But he was intent on satisfying his intense desire for Jessa.
They both didn’t want to fight their physical attraction for each other. But Jessa found herself falling for the man who could not promise her tomorrow. And Rob was set on only having a short fling with Jessa especially when they lived in different states – he in Melbourne and she in Sydney.
Could Jessa trust herself not to fall apart when the time came to let Rob go? And could Rob ever find freedom in what he considered as a prison to be avoided at all cost?

Shadow Heart by Pamela Taeuffer
Nobody wants to talk about them, but there are events that occur in our lives that become deep dark secrets we hold inside. And they dramatically influence who we are and how we experience the world.
Such is the case for seventeen year-old Nicky Young who was raised by an alcoholic father and disengaged mother. While Nicky tries to make her way into the world she is confronted by the demons of her dysfunctional and sometimes violent upbringing.
As a young child, Nicky witnesses her older sister having her head slammed into a bowl of creamed corn by her father and then yanks his belt from the loops of his pants and begins to relentlessly beat her sister. It is experiences like this that ravage her self-esteem and make trusting men next to impossible…until at 17, Nicky meets Ryan Tilton, a high profile professional baseball player eight years her senior, who expresses an interest in her.
While she is interested in Ryan, Nicky questions his ulterior motive for wanting to be with an inexperienced girl. Is this man a scoundrel or does he genuinely care about her? Nicky is torn between protecting her vulnerable heart and wanting to trust Ryan and develop a relationship. Ryan brings his own demons to the party – losing his father at the age of fourteen, his early fame and a sexual partner from his past who will not leave him alone.
