Genre Australian Historical romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Will the love of a woman save him from his own apathy?
Tristen Brone lived a carefree life of wealth and passion – until one day it all came crashing down around him. In only a few days he lost everyone he loved in the world – his woman, his best friend and his parents. The once confident, handsome young man, was now scarred for life and on a quick downward spiral of sorrow and depression. He no longer wanted to live.
When Amalie Fergus arrives on his doorstep, a travel bag in her hand, begging him to take her in, he becomes suspicious. Despite his passionate past with this woman, and the feelings he still had for her, all he could think of was how quickly she abandoned him after the fire that killed her brother and left Tristen physically scarred. So why had she come back into his life after all these months?
Amalie Fergus lost her brother in a fire, her lover had abandoned her upon finding her with child, and now her father had been poisoned, leaving their properties to be repossessed. She had nothing and no one left to turn to. In desperation, she found herself forced to work for a living, trying to do her best as a maid for any rich gentleman who would take her in. What she hadn’t expected was for one of those men to try and force carnal favours from her, or for her now to be on the run for his murder.
Running from the scene of the crime, fearful what was to become of her, Amalie finds herself colliding with a man from her past who offers to hide her from the police on one condition – she return to Tristen and steal some property papers from him.
Trapped by the man from her past, and now forced back into Tristen’s life, Amalie searches for who murdered her brother. She could never have foreseen the cruelty she would discover, or the man she would willingly surrender her heart to.Know the Hero from Apathy and Vigor

Genre Romantic suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Tormented, fierce, and broken, sculptor Aidan Murphy has judged himself guilty. He yearns for love but pushes everyone away. He longs for acceptance but has lost the key to open his heart. Until he meets Summer Williams. Beautiful and smart, Dr. Williams promises haven for a man who believes he deserves none. All he has to do is let her in and risk his heart and soul.
Summer’s managed to keep her inner light alive, even through tragedy. She’s created a new life for herself and her daughter in Crescent Creek with loving, caring and fun friends–well, except brooding, breathtaking Aidan. She’s used to keeping away from his type, though. All she has to do is ignore the pull of a man who’s turning up to be much more than snarls and storms. Will her compassion and medical instincts let her?
Love can heal a broken soul and shake up a timid heart. Or it can unleash devastation and a thirst for revenge.
Will Aidan and Summer survive the hurricane?
Release September 15, available for pre-sale.Know the Hero from His Midnight Sun
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
For Contemporary Heroes:
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
Aidan would go to his studio and work on some custom piece. He doesn’t care much for those, they don’t ‘speak’ to him, but he loves the act of sculpting and there’s always some deadline he wants to meet.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
Boston Cream Doughnuts, a box of six, that he would wolf up in one go and drawn down with Irish Black tea. He swears the Irish tea tastes different than regular Breakfast tea. I tried both, and I think the difference is in his head but please, don’t tell him I said that much. We fought enough on the matter and frankly, I don’t care.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
Jeans and T-shirt, the state of which goes from normal (for day-to-day life) to things so old and worn out they are slightly better than old rags (when he works).
Does he know how to fix things?
Yes. Now, whether or not he does fix them, it’s a different matter. If he likes it (truck, fishing gears, everything related to his work) sure, he’s on it. Boring stuff like a leaking faucet or a broken garbage disposal? Forget it. He’ll pay someone to do it.
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
He’s great with kids, a fact that had left everyone, Aidan included, surprised. He’d play with the kid, entertain him or her.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
Aidan doesn’t do many mornings, he’s not one for routine. He’d sleep when tired, get up when he’s done. Now, with Summer and Chloe, he’s a little more civilized and follows the girl’s rhythms (unless he’s working on a piece). He’s… normal. Not really grumpy or anything. Well, not grumpiER than usual.
Can he use chopsticks?
Yes.
Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?
He does, black, but black tea is more his thing.
Beard or clean-shaven?
Five-o-clock shadow going on unshaved, which is different than having a beard. He simply shaves when he wants to.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
A tattoo over his heart, an Irish cross.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Personal vehicle.
Recycle or toss?
Toss.

Genre Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NR
Dawn Jansen has only ever wanted one thing: to provide a life for her daughter in New York City, away from the small-town minds of her family and her upbringing. She has fought hard to finally make it to manager at the Hauteman hotel, and one of her first duties is to attend a conference at the Marietta Las Vegas to learn all she can about running the show. But when she arrives in Las Vegas, her plans to learn as much as she can on a professional level, turns into learning far more about herself than her job. She may get a second-chance at this whole love thing after all.
Barnaby “Barney” Garrison has always had one goal in life: to help people. He’s found his calling as manager of the Marietta Times Square, and since his past failed relationship, has focused all of his energy on being the best manager he can be. This year, that means helping to run the Marietta Hotels second annual Hoteliers’ Conference in Vegas. But as soon as he notices Dawn in the crowd, his focus instantly splits, his desires for her swift and fierce. When he realizes the attraction is mutual, he doesn’t waste any time seducing her to his bed. But when he suspects she’s hiding something from him, he worries that maybe he’s just destined to attract two-timing women to his life.

Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
For Contemporary Heroes:
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
Read a comic book.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
Chinese food, definitely.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
He’s got kind of a swanky geek vibe. It’s like geek chic, but with a dash of street on the side. He is a New Yorker, after all.
Does he know how to fix things?
He likes to think so. As the manager of Marietta Times Square Hotel, Barnaby has to be a little be of a handy-man, for emergencies.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Barnaby’s biggest “gone badly” story is him trying to get married. He was in love with a woman, Diane, who was his whole world. Only, turns out, she wasn’t his.
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
He loves kids, so the kids he doesn’t know he just tries to get to know, asking questions, being silly, that sort of thing.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
Check his phone. Usually for work-related stuff, but after he starts dating Dawn, to check in on her and Hailey.
Can he use chopsticks?
Yes. What New Yorker can’t?
Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?
Of course. He couldn’t manage the hotel without excessive amounts of caffeine. He takes it dark and rich, with just a little cream.
What apps would he have on his phone?
Tons of social media so he can be in the know, but places he almost never posts. The Marietta has very strict rules about public appearances.
Android or iPhone?
Android
Beard or clean-shaven?
Mostly clean-shaven, but a little stubble goes a long way.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
Unadorned

Know the Hero from Darik by Veronica Scott @vscotttheauthor #RLFblog #scifi #romance
Veronica Scott, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about the book.
Darik: A Badari Warriors SciFi Romance (Sectors New Allies Book 4) by Veronica Scott
Genre Science Fiction Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13+
Nicolle James is far from her home in the human Sectors, kidnapped by alien scientists to be the subject of horrifying experiments. Her only hope might be a mysterious soldier she’d glimpsed outside the laboratory fence. She’d managed to sneak a few words of conversation with him when her captors weren’t watching but now the aliens were taking her inside the lab to begin the experiments.
Darik, a warrior of the genetically engineered Badari pack, is on a solo recon mission to check out a mysterious new lab high in the mountains. His orders are strict – do not engage. But when he has a chance meeting with the woman who might be his mate, he vows not to abandon her, orders or no orders.
Can he get inside an underground lab, find Nicolle and rescue her without getting captured himself? And when he learns the lab’s deadly secrets, can he get word to his pack about the new dangers?
Because the ruthless alien scientist running the experiments wants to get her hands on him too and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
This is the fourth book in a new scifi romance series and each novel has a satisfying Happy for Now ending for the hero and heroine, not a cliffhanger. Some overarching issues do remain unresolved in each book since this is an ongoing series but romance always wins the day in my novels!Know the Hero from Darik: A Badari Warriors SciFi Romance Novel (Sectors New Allies Series Book 4)
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
For Sci Fi or Paranormal Heroes:
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
Badari love card games so he probably plays some very complicated form of solitaire. Or makes sure his weapons are ready. Or he might run through some exercises.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
Like all Badari, Darik is part predator so he enjoys meat, cooked on the rare side. He’ll also eat fish, fruits (Badari love tangy berries) and bread.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
Darik and his packmates were trained as super soldiers so he generally likes to wear camouflage utility pants with useful pockets, a T shirt and an overshirt, plus boots.
Does he know how to fix things?
Each Badari warrior has his own specialties. Darik is more about mission planning than fixing tech and he can also pilot atmospheric craft like shuttles.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
In the book he tries to rescue Nicolle and that goes badly the first time, not for lack of planning on his part, but because of an unforeseen action the enemy took. Darik never gives up though – he’s always thinking ahead to the next move and looking for any possibility to set things right. He’s stubborn and optimistic.
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
Children are one of the most important things in the world to the Badari so he’s a natural with kids, like a friendly big brother. He likes to show them how to do things. Darik is very action oriented.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
He loves the morning – a fresh new day, new opportunities, chances for good things to happen…
How does he act around people who don’t know what he is?
He’s pretty unself conscious, because he knows he’s a tough guy, able to take care of himself and others if needed. The fact that he’s been genetically engineered like all his packmates is nobody’s business. The fact he’s a highly trained soldier and general badass should be enough.
Will he let a worker handle things or do it himself?
Badari are used to doing for themselves, having been prisoners in the alien labs for generations. He’ll let someone else handle a situation if they’re more well trained for it than he is. Someone else flew him to the site of his current mission, for example. He admits he doesn’t have the skills to hack computers so he doesn’t mind his Artificial Intelligence companion handling those tasks.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
Darik, like all Badari, bears scars from mistreatment by the alien scientists, as well as from combat. No other marks or personal adornment, although now that his pack has met humans, that could change. Mated Badari do have a mark on the back of their shoulders signifying that state but the marking occurs as part of claiming and being claimed by their true mate. Badari believe the mark is a gift from their goddess, signifying the lifelong bond.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
No one on the planet has a personal vehicle and there’s no public transport either. Darik will either fly himself on a mission or if a pilot has been assigned by the Alpha, he’ll take the passenger role.
Recycle or toss?
Darik and the other Badari were engineered using animal DNA as part of their makeup, so they feel very close to nature and are all about preserving their planet. So he and the others definitely recycle where possible.Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

USA Today Best Selling Author
“SciFi Encounters” columnist for the USA Today Happy Ever After blog
Veronica Scott grew up in a house with a library as its heart. Dad loved science fiction, Mom loved ancient history and Veronica thought there needed to be more romance in everything. When she ran out of books to read, she started writing her own stories.
Seven time winner of the SFR Galaxy Award, as well as a National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award, Veronica is also the proud recipient of a NASA Exceptional Service Medal relating to her former day job, not her romances!
She read the part of Star Trek Crew Member in the audiobook production of Harlan Ellison’s “The City On the Edge of Forever.”
