Perdition House (# 1 An Erotic Saga) by Bonnie Edwards
Welcome to Perdition House: a house of sin, secrets, and seduction.
Some ghost stories are erotic…
Faye Grantham inherits Perdition House, a former bordello, and expects to sell the property but the spirits who “live” there have other ideas. As the spirits tell their stories one by one, Faye is embroiled in a life-changing situation that has her questioning everything she believes. Should she stay with her fiancé or move on to one of the men the spirits have thrown into her life?
Liam Watson wears comfort like most men wear cologne. With an interest in adventurous sex, he’s more man than he first seems.
Mark McLeod is a strong, decisive businessman who was not meant to be more than a hot one-night stand. But Mark is in no hurry to end their liaison, and hopes to continue Faye’s lessons in sensuality.
As the spirits reveal themselves, Faye learns their stories: how they came to Perdition House, why they joined the women there and some of the secrets that only a high-class bordello could hold.
But can decades-old secrets affect Faye’s life today?

Free on KindleUnlimitedThe Dead Man’s Treasure by Kris Bock
Rebecca Westin is shocked to learn the grandfather she never knew has left her a bona fide buried treasure – but only if she can decipher a complex series of clues leading to it.

Action and romance combine in this lively Southwestern adventure, complete with riddles the reader is invited to solve to identify historical and cultural sites around New Mexico.
“The Dead Man’s Treasure is fast-paced and a perfect read for the weekend. I highly recommend this one.”
“I can’t say enough how much I loved this book! It has mystery, adventure, danger, romance, and above it all family remains a huge theme.”
The Dead Man’s Treasure is book 2 of the Southwest Treasure Hunters novels. Each book features a different hero and heroine, and stands alone, with a happy ending.

Love at Solace Lake series by Jana Richards @JanaRichards_ #RLFblog #contemporaryromance
Jana Richards, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Let’s chat with the sisters from the Love at Solace Lake series.
Character Interview – the Lindquist Sisters
The last book in my new three book contemporary romance series, Love at Solace Lake, releases on March 28, 2018. The series centers around three sisters who inherit a run-down fishing lodge in Minnesota from their grandparents. Each of the sisters has a different reaction to the inheritance. They grew up at Solace Lake Lodge, raised by their grandparents after their parents drowned there in what was ruled by the police as a murder/suicide.
I’d like to introduce you to the Lindquist sisters – Harper, the responsible oldest sister, Scarlet, the troubled middle child and Maggie, the secretive baby of the family. It’s three weeks before Christmas and six weeks before the series begins. Scarlet has arranged a conference call with her sisters:
Scarlett: Harper? Maggie? Are you there?
Harper: I’m here! It’s wonderful to hear your voice. We haven’t talked in forever.
Scarlett: It’s only been a few weeks.
Harper: Maybe, but it feels like a year. Chicago is so far away. I can’t wait to see you again. When are you going to arrive here at the lodge?
Scarlett: Yeah, about that–
Maggie: Hi. Sorry I’m late. (Yawns.) Did I miss anything?
Scarlett: (with sarcasm) I hope we’re not keeping you up.
Maggie: Give it a rest, Scarlet. I just got home from the restaurant and I’m exhausted.
Harper: I’m happy you were able to make the call, sweetheart. And I’m thankful you arranged it, Scarlet. It gives us a chance to discuss our plans for Christmas.
Scarlet and Maggie together: About Christmas…
Harper: What about it?
Maggie: I’m sorry, Harper, but I can’t come out to the lodge for Christmas. I have to work. The restaurant is really busy over Christmas and I’m the chef with least seniority.
Harper: Oh. Well, okay. What if Scarlet and I come to Minneapolis and stay at your place? I could cook a turkey and we can open presents when you get home. That way we could still be together, even if it’s not at the lodge.
Scarlett: Harper, I’m sorry but I’m not coming home for Christmas either. That’s why I wanted to talk to you. I’m going to Cancun with friends.
Harper: Oh.
Scarlett: I need to get away and have some fun in the sun. You, know. Drink a few margaritas and flirt with good-looking men.
Harper: Yeah, sure.
Scarlett: I’m sorry, Harper. Please don’t be angry.
Harper: No, of course not. I’m not angry.
Maggie: Maybe not, but you’re disappointed. I can hear it in your voice.
Harper: Well sure, I would have liked to be with you both for Christmas, but since that’s not in the cards, it makes another decision easier for me. My boss at Miller’s Resort asked me to work over the holidays because so many other waitresses were asking for time off. But I wanted to see what you two were doing before I committed. Now I can tell her yes.
Maggie: You’re not just saying that to make us feel better, are you?
Harper: No, of course not. The restaurant is short-staffed. And I could always use the money.
Scarlett: To pay the heating bills in that old heap, no doubt. Why don’t you sell the lodge, or what’s left of it, and come live with me in Chicago? I’d love to have you nearby.
Harper: I’d love to be close to you, too, but I can’t leave the lodge. Grampa gave it to all three of us. He’d want it to stay in the family. He’d want all three of us to work here together.
Maggie: You know that’s not going to happen. Even if I was interested, the lodge is a wreck, and we don’t have the money to make it a viable business again.
Harper: Yeah, but if we could find the money–
Scarlett: Nobody’s going to be crazy enough to loan you money, Harper. It’s too risky an investment. Sell the lodge and move someplace new. The lodge belongs in the past.
Harper: (quietly) Were you so unhappy at the lodge, Scarlet?
Scarlett: There are a lot of bad memories there.
Harper: Not all bad, I hope.
Maggie: There were happy times, too. Like the Christmases when Grampa would shovel the snow off a piece of the lake so we could skate. And then we sat in front of the fire next to the Christmas tree and opened presents.
Harper: We were all together.
Scarlett: Excerpt for Mom and Daddy.
(silence)
Harper: Yeah, except for them. (clears her throat) I should probably run. I promised one of my bookkeeping clients I’d finish her month end when she closed her hair salon.
Maggie: Isn’t one job enough for you?
Scarlett: If you got a job in an accounting firm in Chicago, you wouldn’t have to work so hard.
Harper: I’m not cut out to live in a big city. (pauses) Well, I guess this is goodnight. And Merry Christmas.
Maggie: Merry Christmas. I guess we’ll talk sometime after the New Year.
Scarlett: I hope you can have some fun, even if you’re both working.
Harper: Phone me as soon as you get home from Cancun so I know you’re safe.
Scarlett: You worry too much, but I will. I love you guys.
Harper: I love you, too.
Maggie: Likewise.

When Jana Richards read her first romance novel, she immediately knew two things: she had to commit the stories running through her head to paper, and they had to end with a happily ever after. She also knew she’d found what she was meant to do. Since then she’s never met a romance genre she didn’t like. She writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and historical romance set in World War Two, in lengths ranging from short story to full length novel. Just for fun, she throws in generous helpings of humor, and the occasional dash of the paranormal. Her paranormal romantic suspense “Seeing Things” was a 2008 EPPIE finalist.
In her life away from writing, Jana is an accountant/admin assistant, a mother to two grown daughters, and a wife to her husband Warren.

taught her men don’t stay.Can she put aside the heartaches of the past and trust Alex enough
to accept the love he’s offering? Or will her fear of abandonment mean she’ll send
him away forever?Tell us about yourself.
Where are you from?I’m from a small town in Maine called Lobster Cove. The Cove
is located on Mount Desert Island, just down the road from Bar Harbor. I love this
town. I love the people here, I love the ocean, and I love my family. Lobster Cove
is a beautiful place to call home and I never want to leave.But you did leave at one
point, right?Yes. My ex-husband and I spent a few years teaching in Thailand.
Russ loved it there, but I was homesick a lot of the time. When I got pregnant,
I wanted to come home and give birth to my daughter in the States. Russ was never
happy back in Lobster Cove, especially when I got the job as principal of the high
school, and essentially became his boss. When Ava was about three he demanded that
we go back to Thailand.Why didn’t you go?I was going to. I was afraid if I didn’t our marriage would be
over. But in the end it didn’t matter. Russ went on ahead to find us a place to
live. A few days later I got a call from him. He told me he didn’t want me to come.
He didn’t love me anymore.That must have been very
painful for you.It was, but with help from my parents and my friends, I got through
it. And Ava helped me, too. I had to be strong for her. She’s the joy of my life,
and I intend on raising her here in Lobster Cove.How old is Ava?(smiling) She just turned six the other day. We had seven six-year-old
girls at her birthday party. My ears are still ringing from all the excitement.(smiling) I remember those
days. So you’re a teacher?Yes. I’m presently the principal of Lobster Cove High School.Do you like being a principal?I do. I love the kids, and I love teaching, though these days
I’m more of an administrator than a teacher. Sometimes I miss being in the classroom.
But as principal, I have the opportunity to really make a difference in my students’
lives. But affecting change can be difficult. As much as I love Lobster Cove, people
can be pretty set in their ways here.Let’s get to the juicy
bits. Tell me about your relationship with Alex Campbell.(shifts uncomfortably in her chair) There’s nothing to tell.
I don’t have a relationship with him. Not really.I don’t believe that and
I don’t think you do either. Tell me about your first meeting.I thought he was an arrogant jerk when I first met him. Alex
is a doctor, and when I took Ava to the ER with a broken arm, he accused my mother
of abusing her!And then?(Sighs) Then we discovered what was really going on with my parents.
Alex has been very supportive.Not to mention easy on
the eyes.(sits up straighter) It doesn’t matter how handsome he is, or
how beautiful his eyes are, or even how compassionate he is. When his contract with
the Island Health Board is up, he’ll be leaving Lobster Cove. End of story.It doesn’t have to be
the end. You could go with him.(shakes her head) No, I couldn’t. Even if our relationship was
at that stage, which it’s not, I’m never leaving Lobster Cove again. My life is
here, and so are my responsibilities.But what if he stayed?He’s not going to do that. There’s nothing in a small town like
Lobster Cove to entice a big city doctor like Alex.Nothing but you. Maybe
you could ask him to stay.(turns away) If he stayed because I asked him to, he’d only grow
to resent me. It’s better this way.Better for who? Not for
Ava. She adores Alex and she needs a father. And not for you. If you don’t tell
him how much you care for him, he’s going to walk away. Is that what you want?(gets to her feet) This interview is over.Don’t let your chance
for love slip away, Julia.(Julia hurries away.)About the Book
Title: One More Second ChanceAuthor: Jana RichardsGenre: Contemporary RomancePublisher: The Wild Rose Press, the Lobster Cove SeriesRelease Date: February 6, 2015Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RThey drank their tea in silence, but the silence didn’t feel
awkward. Julia felt soothed, the stress slowly leaving her body. Perhaps her grandmother
had been onto something. The tea seemed to be working.She finished the last of it and set down the cup. “I should
be going. I left Ava with Tracy, and she’s probably hungry by now.”Julia got to her feet and headed to the front door, with Alex
following her. “Thanks for the tea, and for listening. I guess I needed both
today.”“Anytime. Seriously, Julia, anytime you need to talk, about
anything, give me a call.”She wondered if he was speaking as a doctor, as a friend, or
as a man. Which one did she want him to be?“Thank you.”“I’ll try to keep an eye out for your folks, see if there’s
anything I can do for them.”She was touched by his offer. “I really appreciate that,
but I know how busy you are.”He waved away her concern. “It’s no big deal. I appreciate
my grandmother’s neighbors checking in on her, and I’d be happy to do the same.”He really did understand how she felt. “In that case, thank
you.”She opened the front door and stepped outside. Turning to Alex,
she smiled. His thick hair had begun to dry, and the dark strands gleamed in the
spring sunshine. Her breath caught in her throat at his beauty.“Bye, Alex.”“Bye. Take care.”Julia hurried down the steps and across the lawn to her car.
An appreciation for his looks was as far she could take any relationship with him.
Her life was too complicated, too full already. And she would never get involved
with a man who planned to leave Lobster Cove in only a few more months.More about this book: http://www.janarichards.com/onemoresecondchance.htmlAbout the Author
When Jana Richards read her first romance novel, she immediately
knew two things: she had to commit the stories running through her head to paper,
and they had to end with a happily ever after. She also knew she’d found what she
was meant to do. Since then she’s never met a romance genre she didn’t like. She
writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and historical romance set in World
War Two, in lengths ranging from short story to full length novel. Just for fun,
she throws in generous helpings of humor, and the occasional dash of the paranormal.
Her paranormal romantic suspense “Seeing Things” was a 2008 EPPIE finalist.In her life away from writing, Jana is an accountant/admin assistant,
a mother to two grown daughters, and a wife to her husband Warren. She enjoys golf,
yoga, movies, concerts, travel and reading, not necessarily in that order. She and
her husband live in Winnipeg, Canada with their Pug/Terrier cross Lou and several
unnamed goldfish. She loves to hear from readers and can be reached through her
