A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Damon Greyson now helps others who have suffered trauma. His experience and intuition alert him to trouble in Charlotte’s past, and he wants to help her, if only she’d let him.

I learned so many things during the writing of this series. I learned about the plight of rescue animals, like dogs and horses, and the dedicated volunteers who help them. I researched and was able to highlight the horrific, long-lasting damage that sexual abuse inflicts on its victims. This series was a way for me to talk about issues that are important to me while still telling an engaging, entertaining love story.

Package Deal – Single Dad Anthology
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Divorced, widowed, adopted, blended, fostered, gay or straight — each family has unique tale. Join these authors as they tell stories of amazing single dads who find love in unexpected places. Laugh, cry, get a little hot, maybe even throw your phone. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Hacking Planet Fun
Kam, Master of the Thieves’ Guild Academy on the planet Kelthia, deals with a school full of fledgling thieves, con artists, and hackers, and doesn’t need attitude from students or faculty. When he rejects a half-feline half-human prodigy for unmanageable behavior, his ex, Brinn, fosters the girl himself.
Brinn handles the unruly child well, and Kam grudgingly agrees she shows great potential as a future thief. Missing Brinn, Kam seeks to win him back. But when the child comes under suspicion as having hacked Planet Fun, an empire-renowned anti-gravity theme park, Kam must decide whether to trust his well-honed instincts… or his long-divided heart.
A twist on academy stories, the male-male science fiction romance Hacking Planet Fun focuses on the staff, and introduces a classroom of tiny precocious thieves who will steal your heart.

Try a #WomensFiction novel – Felicity’s Power by J Arlene Culiner @JArleneCuliner #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance
Don’t we all have a memory tucked away of someone we once loved, someone we just might have stayed with had the circumstances been right?
And what would happen if we came face-to-face with that person today? Would the magic still be there? Would our hands tremble, our knees knock together just the way they did back then? Or would we just stare, appalled, wonder how we could once have been so silly.
J Arlene Culiner welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Thanks for sharing two tips with us today, but first, please tell us about Felicity’s Power
Felicity’s Power by J Arlene Culiner
Genre Contemporary Romance/Women’s Literature
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
Forty years ago, Marek Sumner and Felicity Powers fell in love at first sight, but relationships do demand a certain amount of sacrifice, and compromise. Marek wants marriage, security and a family; Felicity wants adventure. So, their love story ends… in a way…
Because, even after forty years of separation, Felicity never forgets Marek. She has spent her life as a foreign aid worker, has been in danger countless times, and has done exactly what she set out to do. Now she’s back, looking for Marek, and wanting to take up where they left off.
What does Marek think? Sure, he’s never forgotten Felicity. But start over? After all these years? No way. He’s too smart for that.
That’s not the sort of response Felicity can accept, and if they go spend a few days on the coast together, anything can happen.
San Francisco, 1971: hippies in the streets, music and revolution in the air. The evening Marek Sumner opened his door to the wild-looking Felicity Powers, he knew nothing would ever be the same. But even love and passion couldn’t keep them together. Forty-three years later, having lived in the world’s most dangerous places as an aid worker, Felicity is back, still offering love, passion, and adventure. Now a well-known author, Marek loves his calm life in an isolated farmhouse, and he knows their relationship would never work : he and Felicity are just too different. Besides, why risk having his heart broken a second time?
But Felicity is as fascinating and joyful as ever, and the wonderful sexy magic is still there too. Can love be more delightful the second time around?
