Genre Regency Romance

A mysterious lady. An inquisitive gentleman. And a secret that could tear them apart.
Lady Elinor should be in London enjoying the season, not fearful and trapped in a country cottage with an unbalanced relative.

Desperate, she accepts his help, but will she be able to hide the truth from this inquisitive, intelligent man?
There are too many women in barrister Stephen Chaplin’s life, but he has never been able to turn his back on a woman in need. The reticent seamstress resists his every attempt to draw her out and remains a mystery he can’t solve.
Then a Bow Street Runner hired by her aunt comes asking questions. Elinor again turns to Stephen for help. But when circumstances reveal the truth about her background, will Stephen and Elinor lose their chance at happiness?
Lady Elinor’s Escape is a Cinderella-inspired traditional Regency romance. If you like noble gentlemen, independent ladies and sweet romance, this book is for you!

Sarah, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about A Proposal for the Leaves of Change Café.
A Proposal for the Leaves of Change Café by Sarah L Campbell
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
Things are going well for Michael and Aurora in Green Leaf until his ex-girlfriend shows up and starts causing trouble between them. Aurora begins to suspect that there is something more between the two of them than organising a book launch. She comes to a drastic decision about the future for her and her baby daughter Robin. A return to acting sounds promising for her but is it worth moving away from everyone for? Can Michael offer an explanation for his behaviour and stop her from leaving?
Meanwhile the lives of those around Aurora begin to fall apart. When her mum’s partner Colin becomes ill, her mum, Catherine makes a decision about her future. No-one, especially Aurora saw that coming…
There’s trouble when Darren leaves Rachel, just at a time when she needs him most. She’s going to need her best friend Aurora more than ever.
All the café regulars are back, along with some new faces. Why not grab a cup of tea and a piece of cake and spend some time in Green Leaf… the town where gossip flies around faster than teapots?
What’s in your character’s pockets, backpack, or purse?
What does your character always carry?
Aurora always carries lipstick aka the war paint that she needs to get through the day.
What does your character dislike carrying but has to?
Her phone! She is always getting phone calls while rushing around trying to take care of her baby daughter and keeping the café going for her mum. 9 out of 10 times it’s likely to be her mother, offering her one of her pearls of wisdom. Otherwise, she’ll be getting phone calls from her boyfriend Michael or best friend Rachel.
Does your character carry money and if so, in what form (cash, credit, etc.)?
She’s broke at the start of the book (still waiting on her divorce settlement) so she has little cash and mainly uses her credit card.
What does your character carry related to a job or calling?
Keys – to open and close the café and a notepad and pencil to write down how to look after the café and make all those delicious recipes. She has a steep learning curve ahead of her in this book.
What else besides pockets does the character use to carry things?
The pram, it’s a great way to store shopping.
What is one thing your character wouldn’t be caught dead carrying?
A handbag (or purse in America) like her mum’s – they have very different tastes.
Has anything in your character’s pockets ever saved the day?
Tissues – her best friend Rachel’s having a really tough time and Aurora’s there for her with tea and sympathy.
Does your character every carry things for other people? (like a mom with toys, etc.)
Yes, all the basic essentials that her baby daughter might need and one of her daughter’s many soft toys that keeps finding its way back into her bag.
If your character could buy an item to carry things in and money was no object, what would it be?
Oh, she’d love a designer handbag, these were once the norm in her previous life married to a famous movie star.
Questions for the Character to Answer About the Author
What does your author always carry?
Lipstick and concealer for the bags under her eyes! Her favourite cat shopping bag and her phone.
What does your author dislike carrying but has to?
Nothing- she considers everything in her bag an essential item.
What does your author carry for luck?
A little guardian angel pin.
How organized is your author’s backpack / purse?
Organised chaos – how does she find anything? I’ll never know!
What does your author prefer to use when it comes to items like backpacks / purses?
She loves purses (handbags to her) she has a wardrobe full of them. She has every day bags, evening bags, weekend bags and a fondness for vintage bags.
If your author could buy an item to carry things in and money was no object, what would it be?
That’s easy – she’d buy a really frivolous designer vintage bag – like a Chanel clutch bag.
What do you wish your author would not make you keep in your pockets?
My phone – it never stops ringing!
What do you wish your author would allow you to keep in your pockets?
A magic watch that stops time so I could get everything done,

After completing a variety of roles including working in libraries, the theatre and even training to be a teacher, I settled on writing in my early thirties. I decided that self-publishing was the right route for me and set about writing my first ever story, a children’s book about a muddled fairy. Since then, I’ve self-published 4 more children’s stories and a teenage novel. I have also written two books so far in the Leaves of Change Café Series. I live in the northeast of England with my family and our beloved cat Louie, a one-time stray now king of the castle. When I’m not at home trying to work with the cat on my knee, I love meeting friends for a coffee and having a good old natter, or visiting somewhere new, like an historic house or museum.

Runaway Love Story by Sadira Stone
Genre: Contemporary Romance Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
She hates average…he’s as average as they come.
High school history teacher Doug Garvey is trying to enjoy his last few weeks of summer vacation, but receiving his final divorce decree hits him harder than expected. After a brief fling fizzles, he fears love just isn’t in the cards for him. If only he could find someone who’s real, someone interested in something beyond herself…maybe a new running partner who can keep up with his more carnal appetite. When sexy, straight-talking Laurel runs across his path, he dares to hope again.
He’s done with social-climbing posers…she’s ambitious and has big dreams.
Fired from an art gallery, Laurel Jepsen shelves her pursuit of an art career in San Francisco to help her beloved great aunt Maxie move into assisted living. While out on a morning run, she’s harassed by a group of teens until a tall, broad-shouldered hottie steps in, pretending to be her boyfriend with a kiss that makes her wish it were true. But she’s only passing through, not looking for a relationship.
Their fierce chemistry burns up the sheets–and the couch, the shower, the forest–but falling in love would ruin everything. Laurel can’t stay in Eugene, and he can’t leave. Doug’s only hope is to convince her the glittery life she’s after could blind her to the opportunities already in her path.

Rocked By Love by MJ Schiller
Genre contemporary romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13-R
Rock star Raphael Santiago is haunted by the night his friend Devin died. Maybe because there’s something that no one knows about the overdose. But when he jumps in the crowd to defend a woman at one of his concerts, he finds he doesn’t want to keep the secret from her.
Mia was a tight little ball of fire, and I was made of combustible material. She misunderstood my intentions the night we met, but I was given an opportunity to explain the next day. I wish that was our only miscommunication, but when I discovered she’d written an inflammatory article about Just Short of Chaos, I thought she was using me to get a story. The hurt that caused made me say some nasty things. Now I may have lost her forever.
Mia Love doesn’t know if Rafe is truly interested in her, or if she is merely a new plaything for him.
Oh, there was definitely a heat between us from day one. Sometimes volatile, sometimes scorching in a good way. But I’d been burnt before and I was stronger now. No way was I going to let a rock star break my heart.
When fate throws them together again, things really start to heat up.
But will they figure out how to control their passions or will their love story end in ashes?
