Found When Aleksandra Dimitriou is revealed as the secret daughter of Akathinia's former king, she's torn from her comfortable existence and thrust into the royal world...under the protection of Aristos Nicolades. Forbidden Aristos has orders not to touch the innocent princess, but beautiful Aleksandra calls to the rebellious urges that the self-made Greek tycoon thought he overcame long ago. Forever? As the heat of their desire rises, the rules begin to evaporate. It's soon clear that the person Aristos should be protecting Aleksandra from is himself!

WHEN I FOUND YOU is the third book in my Harlequin Heartwarming K-9 series and will be released July 1, 2016. It's my pleasure to share the first chapter with you. I hope you enjoy it! * * * Is she part of the solution...or the problem? It could be a terrorist threat. Or is it some other sinister plot? An unprecedented rash of security breaches at San Diego's international airport is putting passengers at risk and bringing the competence of the airport's chief of security, Ariana Atkins, into question. With explosives the weapon of choice, police K-9 unit captain Logan O'Connor and his bomb detection dog, Boomer, might be Ariana's best, if not only, line of defense. Logan is certain his belief in Ariana, and his growing love for her, aren't misplaced...but it wouldn't be the first time he's misjudged someone's intentions.

NB: THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE VERSION OF THIS STORY. I WILL MAKE CHAPTERS 1-3 AVAILABLE HERE. Football pro Grant Farley is nursing an injury and needs to get back into shape fast. Ballet wouldn't be his first or even his last choice, but he's desperate. Enter tantalizingly prim teacher Jasmine Bell one disapproving arch of her eyebrow and Grant knows he'll enjoy getting her tutu in a flutter! But it's not only Grant's flexibility that Jasmine's pushing to the limit! He knows she feels the heat between them, so why won't she give in to it? Time to convince Jasmine that if she's brave enough to dance en pointe she can certainly handle a fling with him! __________________________________________________ Hi readers! Only The Brave Try Ballet is the first story I ever wrote. It's also the first in a duology about two ballerinas who live in Melbourne, Australia. Like all my books it has a blend of sexy romance, a touch of humour, drama and other real issues. Please note, as I am an Australian author writing a story about Australian characters you may find the spelling and some words to be a little different from what you're used to. This story uses Australian/British English spelling. Also, the football referenced in this story is AFL (Australian Rules Football) which is different to soccer (or football, depending on where you're from!), rugby and NFL football codes. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek. Happy reading! With love, Stefanie.

PLEASE NOTE: ONLY CHAPTERS 1 & 2 WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE Can she make organising her friend’s wedding any harder? 1. Sunshine Smart has only got two months until the big day! 2. She has to include the grouchy, surly Best Man, Leo Quartermaine – a top chef and her complete opposite! 3. Said Best Man is extremely handsome & sexy – and knows it! 4. He has no interest in décor, flowers, clothes or shoes…but has an uninformed opinion on all four! 5. And in just a few days in, she’s already slept with him…Rookie mistake… PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE BOOK. In honour of Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write competition, being run in conjunction with Wattpad this year, I’m sharing a little of this book, which was a top 10 finalist in the competition in 2013, and published in 2014. I’m sorry I can’t put the whole book up, but I thought anyone who’s enjoying the quirkiness of the heroine, Sarah Quinn, in my current Wattpad book, The Rulebook, might enjoy a little glimpse of my absolute quirkiest heroine, Sunshine Smart.

In a baby's heartbeat, Nik turns Sofia's world upside down and whisks her away to his Mediterranean kingdom.

Book Three in the Dark Seas Series, published by Harlequin Nocturne. She was irresistible to every man…except one Lily Borsage is the ultimate siren: gorgeous, aloof and irresistible to all the men in Bayou La Siryna. All of them, that is, until Nashoba Bowman comes back to town. The Native American kid whose innocent first kiss Lily remembers fondly is now all grown-up, hot as an Alabama summer—and immune to Lily's charms. What self-respecting mermaid could resist finding out more? But Nash has a dark history that puts any woman he loves in grave danger, and a heritage of power he isn't ready to accept. And Lily has a secret that no mortal man can ever know. When a mysterious enemy starts menacing Lily, they will both have to risk everything—and embrace their deepest destinies—if they want to survive.

My to-do list for planning this society wedding was supposed to be simple: 1. Arrange some tastefully naughty pre-wedding activities for the bridal party. 
2. Get the bride and groom down the aisle so they can get started on their happily ever after. But now the groomsmen—aka five of the world's most outrageous playboys—are running wild, the groom is running scared and the bride is running me ragged! That's bad enough but with Tate Langfield (yes, that Tate Langfield; he of The Kiss That Cannot Be Forgotten) distracting me at every turn, if I don't take drastic action this wedding—not to mention my career – will end in disaster! Clearly I need to relax so maybe the only way to regain my focus is to do the one thing I've never dared? And what could be more…tension-relieving…than a night of unbridled passion with the gorgeous Tate? It could be our little secret, dear diary…
