Love # 1.Genre: Western Historical RomancePublisher: Crimson Romance PublishingLength: 142 pagesHeat rating: 4-5 on a scale of 5Tagline: Everything for love ~ nothing for lust.Blurb:One Moment’s Pleasure will become a lifetime’s passion when spinster,
Edith Alden, embarks on a search for her missing sister. Pretending to be a rich
bored woman looking for an interlude with an anonymous male Edith enters the San Francisco bordello where
her sister was last seen. She escapes the bordello almost too easily, but she can’t
escape the passion ignited by a stranger’s kiss.Born and raised in the brothels of the California gold rush, Dutch Trahern worked for

is a business man in the import-export trade based out of San Francisco. He is in his late twenties.Heroine ~ Edith Marietta
Alden of the Boston Aldens is a spinster because her guardian grandfather doesn’t
believe women should work or participate in any activity outside the home. At approximately
24 years of age Edith is the oldest of the three Alden sisters.Villainess ~ Madam Cerise
Duval would never reveal her age as she would like all of her clients to believe
her ageless. She owns San Francisco’s
finest bordello and would kill without qualm if it were to her advantage. She is
Dutch Trahern’s nemisis.Interview with Mr. Dutch Trahern part owner of Trahern – Smiley Import and Export
Tell us about yourself.I was born in a hell
on the Barbary Coast. My father, who forced my
mother into prostitution to keep him in gambling money, deserted us when the vigilantes
ran him out of town in 1851. I was too young and didn’t know any other life, so
when my mother died her madam, Cerise Duval offered to let me work for her as her
personal ‘toy.’ I did it to give my brother a place to live, clothes to wear and
food to eat. As I grew older, I understood how wrong it was to allow Cerise to abuse
me, and when I saw her eying my brother, I swore I’d find a way to escape and build
a respectable life for the two of us. I’d almost succeeded before I met Edith Alden.Tell us about Edith.She’s the most beautiful
and most exasperating woman on earth, and when we met I believed she was a prostitute.
The type of woman I despise most. I discovered very quickly that she wasn’t, but
it took me a long time to realize what a truly honorable soul she is. She had her
troubles–a misogynistic grandfather and a totally absurd will–and her secrets,
and both of those caused us problems. I’m not certain how, but in the process of
helping her solve those problems, she helped me find the pieces of my heart that
I thought dead as a result of my years on the Barbary Coast.What do you think is your strongest point?I don’t quit.What would Edith say is your strongest point?I’m stubborn to a fault.What would Edith say is your biggest weakness?I’m judgmental and stubborn.What was it like where you grew up?It wasn’t very pleasant,
so I’ve already said everything I want to say on the topic of my childhood.What do you wish was different about your life?I wish I’d grown up somewhere
else with two loving parents. Of course if I’d gotten that, I would never have been
in Duval’s bordello where I met Edith.If you were given your fondest wish, what would it be?That no one–man, woman
or child–should ever have to sell themselves to survive.Describe a place of perfect refuge.Edith.As a child, who was your best friend? Tell us about him/her.That would be my brother
Trey. We only had each other. As the oldest, I did my best to protect him, which
wasn’t easy. Trey’s got a bit of a wild streak, and I’m certain that’s going to
cause him heartache someday. Right now, he’s turning his wild side to advantage
by pursuing a career as a US
Marshal.What do you wish I had asked you? Please ask and answer it
now.Too many personal invasions
as a child has made me a fairly private person, so this entire interview isn’t easy
for me. Let’s just say I wish you’d asked me if I have any bad habits. The answer
is yes, I do. I like chocolate way too much. We never had any treats as children.
I met the Ghirardelli Brothers when they were looking for a firm to import cocoa
beans for their chocolate business. I made them a very good deal, so they discount
their products for me. I’m able to afford all the chocolate I want, which really
isn’t good for me. Thank goodness, I have Edith to tell me when I’m over-indulging.

What a Texas Girl Wants Kristina Knight, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. Let’s talk
about your book, What a Texas Girl Wants.Genre: Contemporary RomancePublisher: Crimson RomanceCover artist: Crimson RomanceLength: 52,000 wordsHeat rating: SensualTagline: What happens in Mexico
doesn’t always stay in MexicoBlurb:Kathleen Witte is a down-to-earth girl. She has to be, with the
family ranch on the verge of success. After seven months of keeping it all together
by swearing off men, however, Kathleen needs a bit of fun in the sun. Waking up
with a husband she can’t remember isn’t how she planned to blow off steam.The last thing Jackson Taylor wants in his life is a down-to-earth
girl. He has four weeks of freedom in which to find his birth mother. He’s done
well avoiding commitment until now, so when he wakes up on a Mexican beach with
Kathleen his first reaction is curiosity. When he spies the matching wedding rings
on their left hands curiosity turns to concern.Neither Jackson
nor Kathleen want to stay married, but when her family shows up, they have no choice.
Once back in Texas,
however, can they keep this all-business marriage from turning into an all-consuming
love?Buy links:Barnes and Noble: http://barnesandnoble.com/w/what-a-texas-girl-wants-kristina-knight/1110496096?ean=9781440544637iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/what-a-texas-girl-wants/id523130266?mt=11Interview with Kathleen Witte
Kathleen, tell us about yourself. What are you like?I’m a Texas
girl, born and bred, which makes it kind of funny that I fell for a city boy. But
then, Jackson was a Texas boy at one point! I train horses and live
on the same ranch where I grew up.What do you think is your strongest point?My determination. I set a goal and I go after it whole-heartedly.Do you have a weakness? (If so, what do you think it is? What
does your lover think it is? What does your enemy think it is?)Sometimes I become so focused on a goal that I miss the point
of living life. That’s what led me to Mexico, which wound up being a good
thing. But at the time, Mexico
felt like the biggest mistake of my life! Jackson
will say my greatest weakness comes when he does this kissing thing on the back
of my neck…What drives you to do the things you do? What makes you want
to be the “good guy?”
Saint’s Devilish Deal I think my drive comes from my grandfather, and my father to
a certain extent. Dad wasn’t always around when I was little, so I started trying
new things to get his attention. That didn’t always work, but my boldness did capture
my grandfather’s attention. Him being proud of my accomplishments keeps me trying
for even bigger goals.What’s your favorite guilty pleasure?Dark chocolate with sea salt. I know dark chocolate is technically
better for us than milk chocolate…but it tastes so good I feel guilty enjoying it.If you didn’t know how old you were how old would you be?Tough question. I think I’d like to be 28. Because at 28 I’d
be old enough to know better…and still young enough to get away with doing some
bad things…ha!A biography has been written about you. What do you think
the title would be in six words or less?Kathleen Witte, An Ordinary Girl.If money were not an object, where would you most like to
live?Texas,
exactly where I am. I’m a very lucky girl – I grew up in the best place in the world,
and now that I’m grown up I get to do the thing I love (train horses) and live there
with the best guy in the world (Jackson).
He comes and goes a little bit, because of his work, but Texas is definitely part of our lives.What song would best describe your life?I’m Just a Girl by Deana CarterIf you were a tool, what would people use you to do?Get the job done! I’m the type of person who can’t quit on a
task. I’m a hard worker…so I guess I’d make a good hammer.Picture yourself as a store. Considering your personality
and lifestyle, what type of products would be sold there?A little bit of everything. Saddles and tack, girlie dresses,
boots. I’m a General Store kind of girl.As a child, what was your favorite thing about school?The day being over! I wasn’t a bad student and school wasn’t
hard for me, but I had so much more fun on the ranch that I wished every day for
the 3 o’clock bell to ring.Tell us an embarrassing story that has to do with a pet. If
you have no pets, a story about a significant other will do. ^_^Probably one of my most embarrassing moments happened when I
was visiting U-TEP on a college preview weekend. I’m a small town girl and the campus
was huge, but I was so confident that I couldn’t do anything wrong! So I’m wandering
around the campus, not paying attention to where I’m going and I slammed into this
photographer guy – who was none other than my childhood crush, Jackson Taylor. I
had no idea what he was doing there and I was a little snippy with him. I broke
his camera…and it was just bad. That did not lead to us falling in love and living
happily ever after, not for a while. And he still teases me about that day!If you came with a warning label, what would it say?Warning: Contents are Combustible.Please Fill in the Blanks as Kathleen
I love pizza with extra cheese.I’m always ready for a picnic.When I’m alone, I think about my next To Do list.You’d never be able to tell, but I’m usually nervous.If I had a halo it would be crooked.If I could turn back time I’d ask Jackson out way back in college.I can never eat chocolate because I would never
stop.About the Author
Kristina Knight Once upon a time, Kristina Knight spent her days running from
car crash to fire to meetings with local police–no, she wasn’t a troublemaker,
she was a journalist. When the opportunity to focus a bit of energy on the stories
in her head, she jumped at it. And she’s never looked back. Now she writes magazine

Why Keta Wrote Holding on to Heaven @ketadiablo #amwriting
Holding on to Heaven. Please welcome Keta Diablo as she takes over Romance Lives Forever for the day.– – –
Hi everyone, and thank you so much for stopping by Romance Lives
Forever.Some readers have asked me why I wrote Holding on to Heaven
so I thought I’d speak to that here. I’ve always loved history about the Civil War
– the battles, the thousands of lives lost and the boundaries that were often crossed
when family members choose sides. It wasn’t uncommon to find cousin fighting against
cousin or neighbor against neighbor. The Civil War was a deeply personal war for
many, and yet in the end, many didn’t know why they were fighting. I can’t think
of anything more horrible than to have our country divided over ideals, beliefs,
or principles to the point we take up arms against our brethren.
Dark Night of the Moon Imagine drawing a line across the United States – the top half of the
states fight for one side and the bottom for the other. And suppose you had family
down in Texas when you live in Wisconsin? I’m sure you can
see what the Civil War was one of our darkest times in history.Holding on two Heaven is, in essence, about a woman
named Lauren McCain who was raised in the deep South and moves to the North just
before the war broke out. Her loyalties are divided. She’s fallen in love with a
Northerner, carries his child, and yet her father and family hail from North Carolina. Now, toss
in the Dakota Sioux uprising in Minnesota
at the same time and the entire country is ablaze with fire and terror.Holding on to Heaven is an emotional story about
betrayal, grief, fate, and abiding passion. If you like reading about the Civil
War, I think you’ll love the story of brothers who love the same woman and yet,
love each other too (note: this is not a ménage and not a gay fiction). Oh, yes,
and there are a few twists and turns in the story. There is a happily-for-now ending,
but here’s the good news: Dark Night of the Moon, the sequel to Holding on to Heaven
