* Big city party-girl Amanda Barber has been spoiled most of her life. But life for Amanda suddenly becomes a major challenge: adapting to small town life, dealing with her handicapped brother and constantly butting heads with a frustrating local cop.
* As a police officer and former Marine, “responsibility” is Max Bryson’s middle name. Never having been in a serious relationship, he has no plans for being in one in the near future. He likes being his own man. And even if he were interested in a serious relationship, he certainly wouldn’t choose it to be with someone so immature and irresponsible as Amanda. But no matter how hard he tries, he can’t get sexy Amanda out of his head or his heart. Watching her mature in front of his eyes, his protectiveness towards her only strengthens.
* Bossy and possessive aren’t the only words Amanda uses to describe this frustrating cop. She can’t deny just looking at the man makes her tremble. But she’s done with having anyone control her and this man isn’t going to be any different. Or is he?

~ Excerpt ~

* AMANDA LOOKED UP, surprised at his outburst. Before she could close the door on him, he was hauling her out of the car by her arms, kicking her car door shut.
* She opened her mouth to protest but gasped as he lifted her into his arms and started striding with a determined pace to the nearest barn.
* She struggled, pushing against his chest. “What the hell are you doing?”
* “What I should do every time you’re a pain in my ass.”
* He nudged the barn door with his shoulder and dumped her unceremoniously on a nearby stack of broken straw bales. He went back to slide the door closed and latched it.
* Amanda pushed herself up to a seated position, struggling as her hands sank into the loose straw.
* “Don’t even move from there.”
* A shiver ran up her back. Fear? Maybe a little at the unknown, but it wasn’t all fear. No matter how many times they’d butted heads, she still wanted him.
* “You really deserve to be thrown over my lap and spanked.”
* She frowned, shaking her head. “You’re not going to do that.”
* “Don’t bet on it.”
* He dropped to his knees beside her, and she quickly started to scramble away.
* He grabbed her hair, and the tug on her scalp made her still immediately.
* She couldn’t tell if he was mad or frustrated or what.
* She licked her dry lips. “What do you want from me?” she whispered.
* “Nothing.” He scrubbed a palm over his short hair. “Everything. Jesus.” He reached for her.

* Carola’s life is perfect – or so it seems. Her husband, her friends, her staff don’t see the emptiness of a loveless existence. Every day is the same, until the day when she has enough. Without warning she leaves her home country of Germany to start a new life in the Canadian wilderness.
* But she is not equipped to handle the hardships of a lonely existence in a remote cabin. A five-day snowstorm brings her close to her breaking point. Searching for means to survive, she discovers the written confession of the previous cabin owner who wants to clear his conscience by admitting to a terrible sin he committed involving a girl called Rose.
* When the storm subsides, Carola begins to ask questions but nobody is willing to talk. Nobody wants to tell what happened to Rose, but Carola becomes obsessed with finding out the truth.
* Will Rose finally get justice? If you love mystery and suspense, with an added romance bonus, this new novel by an Amazon bestselling author will keep you turning the pages all night long.

~ Excerpt ~

* “I don’t want to impose on you.” Carola cringed inside. What a half-baked comment. Had she totally lost it now? “I mean, I’d be really grateful. I don’t know what to do. There is no cell reception.”
* He finally let go of her eyes, marched to his parked pickup, and when she didn’t follow he called over his shoulder. “Hop in. No point in catching a cold.”
* Get in the car with a stranger? On an empty country road, miles from the next village? No witnesses. A quick city girl film ran through her mind. He would drive her God knows where, do God knows what to her. Leave her dying on a remote stretch of wilderness, cover her with fresh snow that would freeze into a solid mountain overnight. They wouldn’t find her body until spring.
* He walked back to her. “You’re new here?”
* That was the catch question. A visitor without any local attachments, how sweet was that for a rapist. A killer. Probably a serial killer. He preyed on victims of accidents. The way he looked at her. She’d passed inspection.
* “I live close by. Just up the road. With my friends. You may know them.” She hated how desperate her voice sounded.
* “Don’t be scared of me.” He reached into his pocket, handed her his card. Jason Golden, of Golden Real Estate. “That’s me. Jason. Everybody knows me around here. Put it in the glove compartment of your car. If I drag you into the woods, at least the community knows it was me again.”

Welcome to Rowan Bishop w/ #SciFi #Romance #book ‘Rebellion’ @rowansfr @GoddessFish

Today we have author Rowan Bishop visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?

* All her life, Rowan Bishop has thrown herself into both romance and science fiction every chance she could, so it was destiny that she’d fall in love with the growing subgenre of science fiction romance.
* Consequently, she stepped away from her retail career to focus on her dream of writing full-time. The new girl on SFR scene, she brings her electrifying love stories and her naughty fantasies to our galaxy.
* Rowan Bishop is her penname.

Today Rowan Bishop will be talking about a book that had a big impact on her.
* My love affair with science fiction didn’t begin until my late teens. I had grown up reading all the books my peers surrounded themselves with, from Black Beauty to Island of the Blue Dolphins, but I began to stray from them around the time I turned fifteen.
* I discovered fantasy first. Particularly epic fantasy. And like many other people, I transitioned from fantasy to science fiction through the works of Frank Herbert. Particularly Dune.
* Dune is the ideal blend of science fiction and fantasy. And it sucked me up completely.
* A huge war of noble houses, meddling guilds, and just the right touch of magic. But, you know, set in space. The protagonist, Paul Atreides, is an heir to a duchy with a rich history, and to say that he is ready for the job would be an understatement. His father, Duke Leto, is ordered to be the governor of Arrakis, the hellish, dry hostile world, the only place where the sole source of magic, the spice, is found. But it’s a set up. Underhanded politics pit houses against each other. Heroes are set up to fail. And prophecies are the only thing left to cling to.
* Now that’s what I call a fantastic blend of science fiction and fantasy.
* For me, Dune is the book to beat. Every other entry into the science fiction cannon must unfortunately be held up to the light that Dune casts upon the genre. It’s a tough act to follow.

* Akyra Roux is an up-and-coming Security Operations commander: ambitious, dedicated, and fearless. Her soldiers have a reputation for getting the job done and cracking skulls, earning her a perilous mission to the far fringes of the galaxy.
* As soon as she lands, however, Akyra learns the hard way that rival factions have a lot to gain by seeing her fail, no matter what the cost…
* Captain Raemus Petrus is the hunky, charismatic leader of the genetically-engineered Titans stationed at the outpost. He has a job to do and battles to fight, and he doesn’t let anything get in his way. However, when Akyra and her team of hot-blooded females land on the planet, his need to protect her and his duty to betray her collide…
* Can Raemus, engineered to be ruthless, prove he has enough humanity buried inside his heart to salvage his honor, save Akyra, and ultimately prove his ability to love?
* Can Akyra, running from her past, learn to lose control of the one thing holding her back, her own heart?

~ Excerpt ~

* “You’d give all this up?” Raemus pointed to the cluttered mess of the vehicle maintenance shed they’d been facing the whole time, “for a family?”
* Akyra shrugged. “Family isn’t an option anymore.” She rubbed the birth control bolt deep in the skin of her shoulder, the one engineered with a homing beacon that would bring arrest, conviction, and death if removed from her body. “Being really good at fighting for The Church is all I got.” She felt pressure behind her eyes, and her nose began to itch, but she shook it off. “That’s why I’m the best commander I can be.” Akyra rubbed her hands against the intensifying cold. “What’s your excuse?”
* Raemus didn’t miss any signs of sadness spreading over Akyra’s body, the slight slouch, the successive blinks, the three irregular deep breaths. “I’m with you,” he said. “I get it. When shooting bad guys gets you through the day, might as well become the best at it.”
* She laughed through the frog in her throat. “Yes. Exactly.”
* “Well, let’s see… I can let you shoot Levi over there if that’ll make you feel any better.”
* She blurted out a big laugh.
* Her smile! Raemus thought. Rich and honest. So… real.
