Could YOU forgive and forget?

Love, Interrupted is out on general release this week. Despite only being a little novella, it tackles a mighty big issue: infidelity -- a topic that a lot of readers would consider too touchy for the world of romantic fiction. How can a sexy love story possibly be built around betrayal and heartbreak and loss?

Well, I don't mind admitting that until the reviews started coming in, I'd been worrying that maybe I'd taken too much of risk, that the subject matter would put readers off. But here I'll let some of their reactions speak for themselves:

"This was a beautiful story of love, betrayal and forgiveness!! Get your tissues people! ... Ms Black does a beautiful job making you feel Frankie and Marks pain and Marks ache to make it right! And I thank her for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful story!" - Holly, Goodreads

"I understood Frankie’s point of view... I’m positive that my reactions would have been identical. The angst in this book was lovely, the emotion well written and powerful. There wasn’t that much sex in this but what there was was certainly very VERY steamy ... Oh, and I forgave him..... " - Nix, Scorching Book Reviews


"... a beautifully written, complex and emotional story about betrayal, hurt, forgiveness and love...infidelity is inexcusable...  Yet, where in other books I have DNF-ed or hated the story because of this topic, this story was different...I must applaud Black’s writing skills that have the ability to enthrall and entice." - Pearl's World of Romance

Release Day!

My new novella, Love, Interrupted is out today, and while it's a diminutive little thing, don't let its size fool you - this story packs quite an emotional punch (as evidenced by the line editor being reduced to tears - twice!).

Can a broken heart forgive, when the flesh can’t forget?

The last thing Frankie expects to find lurking in a pile of innocent-looking birthday cards is a letter from her estranged husband—the man who broke her heart and threw away their marriage for a night of drunken infidelity. And the last thing she needs is to revisit those feelings of hurt and betrayal brought back by his words of apology and regret. After everything she’s been through, is it too much to ask to be left alone to try and build a new, independent life for herself?

Apparently it is. As letter after letter falls on her doormat, and the beautiful, eloquent words contained therein slip through her tightly constructed defenses, Frankie becomes a jumble of mixed emotions and desperate desire. Rage, sorrow, revenge and lust mix to make an explosive cocktail when Frankie and Mark find themselves face-to-face for the first time since the split.

It's available to download today (and exclusively for the next three months) from Total-E-Bound - who are running a special 25% Diamond Jubilee Discount on all their UK authors!
