Seven Minutes in Heaven (Single on Valentine’s Day, Book 1) by K.G. Reuss
You never know what you had until it’s gone.
Trevor Valentine had it all ten years ago. Then she ran, leaving him to find love elsewhere, but the only thing he’s ever found since was heartache. When approached for help with a new promotion for Single Status, a website geared toward being single, reluctantly Trevor signs up. A week in a mountain retreat might be just what he needs to get over his latest breakup. A blast from the past when he walked in the door was the last thing he expected.
Unlucky in love.
Sasha Hart is down on her luck. With her dreams gone up in smoke, literally, she agrees to her best friend’s plan to sign her up for the new promotion from Single Status. The promotion promises she’ll be paired with her perfect match. Instead, Trevor Valentine swaggers in, all smiles and sweet talk. Ten years ago, they spent seven minutes in heaven locked in a closet that led to years in hell.
Can they meet in the middle to rekindle what they felt all those years ago or will Trevor’s history of heartbreak tear them apart for good? One thing’s for sure, Trevor never forgot about Sasha, and this time he’s willing to walk through hell to reclaim his heaven.
This Valentine’s Day, being single is all the rage. At least that’s what the website, Single Status says. They’re not trying to set you up with your special someone. Instead, they’re going to give you the time of your life. Sign up a family member, a friend or join yourself. Single Status will send an anonymous letter with details of an activity for the day. #ValentinesDayIsntJustForCouples.

What inspired you to write your book?
I typically write paranormal romance and urban fantasy. I wanted to start writing contemporary romance. A friend of mine was starting the Single on Valentine's Day anthology and I was ready to give it a go.
Here is a short sample from the book:
“Well, if it isn’t my favorite treacherous minx,” Trevor called out, hanging up his phone. “Have a good shut-in today?”
“The best,” I answered, biting into my sandwich and smirking at him. “How is my not favorite cutthroat businessman?”
He rose from his seat and stalked toward me, caging me against the kitchen island with his muscular arms. I swallowed the bite of turkey sandwich in my mouth, my heart beating a ferocious rhythm in my chest.
“Depends,” he growled. His voice was a low, throaty rasp as he leaned in. His warm lips brushed against my ear. I shivered against his hard body, my defenses cracking. His large hand cupped my waist in a firm grip.
“On what?” I whispered in a trembling voice. Damn him for having such an effect on me.
“On how fast you are.”
With lightning quick movements, he snatched my sandwich from my hand and took the biggest bite I’d ever seen anyone take. And then another bite, my delicious sandwich disappearing right before my eyes.
“Guess that answers that.” His laughter boomed out around us as I shoved him. “I’m great.”
“You don’t play fair.” I pouted, turning to make another sandwich.
“Oh, Sasha,” he sighed, leaning on the counter. “I think it’s you who doesn’t play fair. I’m just bending the rules, so I can keep up.”

Redeeming The Amazon by L.V. Lewis
How does a former supermodel deal with body image when she’s lost an essential hallmark of her femininity?
Most come to The Beaudelaire Hotel a few times a year merely to indulge in sexual fantasy, but the stakes are higher for Karen Freeman and Paul Beaudelaire. Karen is nine years post-op from a double mastectomy, and her vain ex-husband hadn’t agreed with her decision to remove her remaining good breast or to eschew reconstruction. In the end, that decision cost her. She lost her marriage, but she’s certain the move prolonged her life.
Returning to a normal dating and sex life has been difficult. She hasn’t made love fully unclothed since the demise of her marriage, and her most significant relationship occurred right after her surgery. While recuperating, she had an affair of the heart with a Marine amputee who’d also been her Ph.D. classmate.
Paul Beaudelaire once had his pick of women in the upper echelons of New Orleans society. He’d been satisfied to continue in that vein, until his career in the Marine Corps was cut short by the loss of his left leg. Paul returned home with the best prosthesis Johns Hopkins could fit him with, but left his heart in Baltimore.
Can a marine amputee restore a beautiful model whose body has been ravaged by cancer? Will this fantasy weekend at his Uncle Henri’s hotel give him a second chance with his contemporary Amazon, or will her fear of rejection be a barrier to their reconnection?
