debut hollywood romance television

Val Saunders and Sam Newman are two Hollywood actors at opposite ends of their careers. Hers is skyrocketing while his, well, never really took off. Fate brings them together when they're cast as lovers on a steamy new television series. The on-screen chemistry between them is off the charts and when it spills over into a real life attraction, they find themselves in a situation.

Sam is an honorable man. He has been faithful to a toxic, Hollywood marriage for nearly half his life. He's never strayed and isn't about to start now, despite the fact that he is falling head over heels for his co-star.

Val's worked hard to get her career on the path to the A-list and the last thing she wants, or needs, is a scandal. If only her heart and her brain were working with the same script.

Romance is an ideal. This is a love story. It explores the possibility of second chances and asks hard questions about duty, fidelity, life in the public eye, and the cost of being happy. Falling Stars is the beginning of a sexy, sensual, and emotional roller-coaster ride that reminds us that love, while not always easy, is always worth it. 

I hope you enjoy this excerpt from Falling Stars, book one in this contemporary romantic fiction series. The book is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Nook, Kobo, and AllRomance.All Rights Reserved

21, Male, Virgin. by LJAbrams

Eden's eyes widened in surprise and she looked away from him, he knew he should change the subject. As he opened his mouth she spoke. "I don't fool myself with the illusion that anybody is there for me, except for Sienna, she's never left my side, but I don't like to get caught up in feelings and emotions, that's why I don't mind sex, it relieves my urges, distracts me and makes me feel good for a while, not negative, or angry, it is pure pleasure, no strings attached. Once you start attaching those strings, you risk feeling lonely. I like being careless, being free." Logan shifted over, to sit next to her, putting his arm around her and she looked up at him. "Everybody is scared of something." She looked intently in his eyes. "What are you scared of Logan Samuels?" Their faces were up close to one another, lips inches apart, and her eyes half closed, as they both felt the magnetism between their bodies. Logan gulped. "I'm scared of a lot of things Eden. Being abandoned, losing people I care about. Failing. Love," he paused and looked down at her lips, "You." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Logan Samuels was a twenty one year old virgin. Some would say by choice others would say accidentally. He just couldn't see himself sleeping with a girl he didn't love, no matter how much lust or attraction there was. Logan had many failed attempted and official relationships because of this little factor. Girls never wanted to believe him when he admitted to being untouched and many thought it a pick-up line or sad attempt at playing hero. Heart broken? perhaps not but hurt and a bit secretive about his innocence Logan has lost faith in girls. That is until the seemingly 'loose' EdenDe la Roux comes along and makes him question why he could ever say no to a girl. Will Logan give in? or Will De la Roux find there are more to men than their never ending lust. And can two people who seem so opposite in mind set find love?

Diamond Heart 💎 by bellamerce

------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble.

Best friends Calyx and Tia get together finally, on one sucky night, And it was declared a mistake right away- which wasn't really. And so the plot thickens.. Distancing themselves from one another, to keep up a ruse, both get stupid and make a series of nightmarish mistakes in their lives. A narrative of erratic, stupid but endearing screw ups- by two people in love but terrified of fully surrendering themselves to each other. Are they prepared to take a leap of faith to be together or are they doomed to become star-crossed lovers for the rest of their lives for their cowardice? "All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." -Anatole France

Moving 1,370 miles away from home to take care of her grandma wasn't how Ashlyn Emerson planned on spending her summer. She knew taking care of the woman who raised her wasn't going to be an easy task. She has always been a free spirit. The kind of girl who turned her head towards the stars closed her eyes and dreamed. You'd think someone who studied the stars would know better than to wish on them. But she still gave them one simple wish: that she'd find her place in this world. Forced to grow up too fast, Eli Cormac was the sole provider for his younger brother and sister. He was making ends meet but dreamed of something greater. Something to help him find the happiness he once had. Eli looked towards the stars asking for a sign from the universe that he wasn't meant to be alone. Looking up into the night sky was comforting. It felt safe. And when Ashlyn and Eli bump into each other at the old star observatory in the middle of the night, they both take it as a sign. They were both on the right track all along. ___________________________________________ *A Summer Romance & The Wish That Changed Everything* 💙 © All Rights Reserved 2020

Written With Hearts by KBMallion

My name is Abby Blair. I write erotic romance. I don't practise what I preach, though. With a string of failed relationships behind me, my books are now the only passion in my life. I create fictional men, because the real men in my life often let me down. I create a woman's perfect fantasy, because my fantasy doesn't exist. My female leads luckily get what I don't. Devotion. Love. Sex... A happy ending. So when I meet Yate Sheridan at my very first book signing, he makes me question a lot of things. He is like one of my leading men, jumping out from a chapter and jumping into my real life. He is charming and wickedly sexy, with a smile that could cause a roomful of knickers to drop in an instant. There is no question; Yate is appealing. He is also a cover model...a definite no-no for me. I don't like my men to be constantly drooled over, I leave that for my readers to do with my fictional men. So, as much as I like Yate, I can never date him. I'm way too insecure to go out with a guy like him. I have a painful past regret that has chipped away at my confidence. Being with someone like Yate, would only feed those insecurities. I write about sassy, confident, and bolder than brass heroines. They are sadly, everything that I'm not. When Yate kisses me; I know that I need to walk away. I need to walk, whilst my knickers are still on and my heart is still in tact. Only he doesn't want to leave things there. After that single kiss... He wants more. I'll admit, he gets under my skin, but I don't think I can give him what he wants? Yate Sheridan, well let's just say, he has other ideas. This is our story. ***DOES CONTAIN SWEAR WORDS & SCENES OF INTIMATE AND GRAPHIC NATURE*** WRITTEN WITH HEARTS Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2016 K B Mallion All rights reserved
