About Davida:

Davida Ann Samenski learned about romance at the tender age of four while watching Gone With The Wind for the very first time. 

An avid romance reader and writer, she loves writing about imperfect women and the equally imperfect men who love them—helping them along their way to the Happily Ever Afters. 

Wife to one, mother to many (including the four-legged variety) and grandma to five (for now), she spends her days caring for her mother and babysitting the hunyocks, and her nights writing and bingeing on her favorite tv shows on Netflix. She's bingeing Lucifer now. Who knew the devil could be so sexy?

About Susan

        When I was eleven, I saw Walt Disney’s Peter Pan. The message of the movie is you have to get taller and older, but you never have to give up make believe. And I never have. Later, I realized all my “Wendy Darling” fantasies were romances. I wrote and published romantic short stories for a while. For twenty-five years, I wrote columns and reviews for Video Views Magazine. I’ve seen almost every new movie release, especially romances and anything with a historical setting. 

Historicals have always been my favorite romance genre. Take me to another time, show me how people lived and loved. What intrigues me most is what women had to endure in a male dominated world. How women in the past survived and gained power. My favorite romantic conflict is between a powerful woman and the man who wants to tame her.  

 

I married the quintessential bad boy and tamed him, though I didn’t mean to. We have two sons. My husband died three years ago. I miss my hero every day. I’ve finished my next book in my series The Shady Side of the Law and have begun the third book in the series.

Christmas Hope

Love gives them hope. Will war tear them apart?

 

Amazon Buy Link

About the Book
After two years at the mercy of the Canadian Expeditionary force and the German war machine, Harry ran out of metaphors for death, synonyms for brown, and images of darkness. When he encounters color among the floating islands of Amiens and life in the form a widow and her little son, hope ensnares him. Through three more long years of war and its aftermath, the hope she brings keeps Harry alive.

Rosemarie Legrand’s husband left her a tiny son, no money, and a savaged reputation when he died. She struggles to simply feed the boy and has little to offer a lonely soldier, but Harry’s devotion lifts her up. The war demands all her strength and resilience but the hope of peace and the promise of Harry’s love keep her going.

When it is over will their love be enough?

About the Book

It’s not that she doesn’t want to marry…

Allie Baldwin is tired of writing about the latest fashions for the society column of her father’s newspaper, the New York Sentinel. Determined to write about important issues, Allie can’t help but defy danger at every turn. When she narrowly escapes a riot at a suffrage rally, Allie’s beleaguered parents enlist the services of a security agent—a dashing and debonair detective, with a knack for getting under Allie’s skin.

  

He’s not ready for marriage…

Peter Harrison is too busy running Harrison Detective Agency to bother with courtships and conjugality. He refuses to make the same mistakes his father made—marrying too young and forsaking family for work. But when a newspaper magnate hires him to protect his willful daughter—Peter is torn between his oath to bachelorhood and an alluring attraction to the ravishing redhead with a nose for trouble.

When a mysterious fire sparks her investigative instincts, can Allie stick to reporting the facts and restrain her flowering feelings for the handsome detective?

BOOK BLURB

Auckland, 1884. The Supernaturals are frightened. Despite being able to do extraordinary things like teleporting or lighting a fire with a stare, a serial killer, the Heart Collector, is slaughtering them. He rips their chests open and removes their hearts. While other aristocratic, nineteen-year-old girls spend time dancing, Isabel trains hard to become an MI7 agent—Military Intelligence Seventh Division, a crime squad run by Supernaturals. The Heart Collector murdered her best friend, and enrolling at MI7 is the best way to help catch the killer. Isabel senses other people’s feelings as if they were her owns. But MI7’s leader is too worried about Isabel’s safety to let her join the team. Eager to prove that her power is valuable, Isabel volunteers to meet Murk, a dangerous Supernatural man who can turn himself invisible. MI7 desperately tried to recruit him and failed. She believes that her power is enough to convince Murk to become an MI7’s agent and help apprehend the Heart Collector. If he wants to attack her, his feelings will broadcast his intention, and she’ll be ready. What Isabel isn’t ready for is to fall in love with the man who will collect her heart.

 

ABOUT BARBARA

I’m an entomologist and a soil biologist, which is a fancy way to say that I dig in the dirt, looking for bugs. I was a kid when I read The Lord Of The Rings and fell in love with fantasy novels. 

When I discovered cosy mystery, I fell in love with Hercules Poirot and Sherlock Holmes. Then I grew up and . . . Nah, I’m joking. Don’t grow up, folks! It’s a trap.

Weekend Reads with Sofie Darling

It's All About The Pitch ~

She is his one weakness. He is her one mistake. 

Their hearts might view the matter differently. . .

 Amazon Buy Link

About the book~

Paris, September 1824

Lord Nicholas Asquith needs his wife. Too bad he broke her heart ten years ago.

Can he resist a second chance at the love he lost?

When Mariana catches the eye of the man at the center of an assassination plot, Nick puts aside their painful past and enlists her to obtain information by any means necessary, even if it means seducing the enemy agent.

Even if the thought makes his blood boil.

Only by keeping his distance from Mariana these last ten years was he able to pretend indifference to her. With every moment spent with her, he feels his tightly held control slipping . . .

Can she trust the spy who broke her heart?

Mariana spent the last decade forgetting Nick. Now she has the chance to best him at his own game, an opportunity she can’t resist, even as her view of him begins to shift. Increasingly, she wants nothing more than to seduce her own husband . . . 

It’s only a matter of time before mad passion ignites, a passion never convincingly extinguished. A passion that insists on surrendering to the yearning of the flesh and, quite possibly, of the heart.

About Sofie~

Sofie spent much of her twenties raising two boys and reading every book she could get her hands on.
Once she realized that she was no longer satisfied with simply reading the books she loved, that she must write them, too, she decide to finish her degree and embark on a writing career. Mr. Darling and the boys gave her their wholehearted blessing.

When she's not writing heroes who make her swoon, she runs a marathon in a different state every year, visits crumbling medieval castles whenever she gets chance, and enjoys a slightly codependent relationship with her beagle, Bosco.

About The Book

Ethan Standish, fourth duke of Dunmoor, is a man cursed by a past that refuses to let him go. Twenty years after enduring captivity as a prisoner of war, he has withdrawn from society, living ensconced at his estate. He takes no visitors and no risks.

A single letter exposes a shared connection with their pasts, setting Ethan and Cat on a path of danger and revenge. But even as Ethan pursues retribution for the past that should have never been, he finds himself falling for Cat, a woman with a ready smile and an open heart. Can he bury his long-held demons in exchange for a future with Cat? Or will he forever be the Devil of Dunmoor?
