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!

Release Day!

Double Strokes, my first short story ebook with Total-E-Bound is out today! I'd like to offer you a taste to celebrate.

"... You must be mad, Gemma admonished herself as she wove through the crowds towards the nearest bar tent, the tingling sensation on the back of her neck telling her that two sets of predatory eyes tracked her every move.

Lord, she needed a drink.

Long before arriving, she’d had a bad feeling about this—a feeling that had only intensified the moment she’d stepped into the riverside enclosure and seen what was awaiting her. She’d known then it had been a mistake to let Ben talk her into coming here today to meet up with both himself and Nate Hunter.

But not nearly as big a mistake as she’d made assuming the half-decade since she’d last seen the two of them together would have done something to dilute the raw, sexual potency of the pair. If anything, their appeal seemed to have grown more pronounced, as though the final transition from youth to manhood had concentrated their trademark air of seductive wickedness into something deeper, darker—something altogether more dangerous.

From what Gemma could tell, she wasn’t the only one in the crowd to have noticed their particular charms. Here and there, female heads craned, lashes fluttered and coy looks were cast in the direction of the pair of tall, athletic, ex-championship rowers.

Gemma dared another glance over her shoulder. Her stomach flipped and she all but stumbled. There they stood like night and day—Ben so fair and bright, Nate all dark and brooding—ignoring everything but her, their hungry gazes eating her up in a way that suggested Gemma sandwich still very much featured on their menu.

Lord, she was in trouble. Big trouble.

Reaching the relative safety of the tent, Gemma ducked inside and pushed to the front of the bar. She ordered something long and alcoholic and gulped down the ice cool liquid, which utterly failed to douse the flickers of sinful excitement burning low in her belly.

Help!

Excitement was the last thing she was supposed to be feeling. Remorse, revulsion, resolution—that was what this exercise was all about. The only reason she’d agreed to come here was so she could finally face up to and bury the mistakes of the past. To prove to herself she’d moved on, grown out of those shameful, confused impulses—matured into someone normal.

Except it was blatantly obvious she’d done no such thing, not when a single look from the dynamic duo was all it took to turn her nipples hard and make her knickers damp.  ..."



Frankly, I don't think Gemma's got the first clue what's good for her - a sentiment that Nate and Ben happen to share. And for only £1.69 you can go and find out right now just how persuasive a pair they can be.
