Book Description:
After a night of passion with her betrothed, Sir Geoffrey Longford, Lady Alyse de Courcy is eagerly looking forward to her wedding. But when Geoffrey is forced to marry another, a heartbroken and possibly pregnant Alyse finds herself in her own private hell. She must either gamble with her reputation or marry someone she does not love.
A reputed connoisseur of women, Thomas, Lord Braeton, has dallied with many ladies of King Edward’s court, although he has favored none. However, as Geoffrey’s best friend, Thomas has sworn to serve and protect Alyse, an oath now sorely tested when he agrees to marry her—in name only—to guard her reputation. Yet, as they grow closer, and Thomas discovers Alyse’s sweet but spirited nature, he comes to desire a marriage in truth. Can he overcome her memory of Geoffrey or is Thomas doomed to burn with passion for a woman he can never possess?

Jenna Jaxon is a multi-published author of historical and contemporary romance.

Jenna has been reading and writing historical romance since she was a teenager. A romantic herself, she has always loved a dark side to the genre, a twist, suspense, a surprise. She tries to incorporate all of these elements into her own stories. She lives in Virginia with her family and a small menagerie of pets. When not reading or writing, she indulges her passion for the theatre, working with local theatres as a director. She often feels she is directing her characters on their own private stage.
She has equated her writing to an addiction to chocolate because once she starts she just can’t stop.

Finding Love on Vacation: Left at the Altar Series by Jana Richards
In my novel “Her Best Man”, Sarah and
Will find themselves sharing a cabin on a cruise ship. The forced closeness
hastens their romance, and helps them fall in love forever. In real life,
holiday romances happen with great frequency. How often have you heard this
story; two people meet on vacation in a tropical paradise or a romantic city,
and fall in love. People are more relaxed during a break, more ready to take a
leap of faith. Sometimes this love affair is a moment in time, a brief
interlude to be remembered fondly upon return to the real world. But sometimes it’s
the beginning of a lasting relationship. How do you tell the difference? Is it
even wise to let yourself fall for someone while on vacation?
It goes without saying to be careful when
considering a liaison with someone you’ve never met before, especially in a
foreign country. But if your love interest has passed the safety test, the
consensus seems to be ‘go for it!’ The
Singles Warehouse says that if you’re looking to fall in love on vacation, or
you just want to meet someone new to have fun with, keep yourself open-minded
and accessible. For example, if you’re a woman, don’t dance in the middle of a
group of other women if you want a man to approach you. The advice to men is to
“make yourself a source of enjoyment and pleasure. Participate, dance, laugh
and make a name for yourself as someone who thrives in the joy of life”.
If you do make a connection, Keen.com
offers a four point plan to discover if a vacation fling can turn into a real relationship.
1.
Make sure he’s single and available. Keen.com says that “Plenty of men get good at
being single during business trips’. Look
him up on the Internet, and make a speedy getaway if a search turns up a wife
or girlfriend.
2.
Examine his values. Connect with him on
social networks to discover how he presents himself to the world. You’ll also
discover whether your values can co-exist. If he loves the night life and you
want a family, this relationship probably isn’t going anywhere.
3.
Reconnect. You can keep in touch by
phone and over the Internet, but real connection happens in person. Don’t quit
your job, but meet for a weekend. Is there still a spark?
4.
Transition to the Long-Distance Relationship. If you pass the first three
steps, it’s time to move to the long-distance relationship. Keen.com
says: “Alternate visits to your place with visits to
his part of the world. Introduce him to your life first, then to your friends,
then to your extended social network and finally to your family. Follow the
same pattern with his world for best results. Enjoy your time together and make
use of your time apart to understand what it was about the magic encounter you
had on vacation that changed two lives forever.”
Sometimes a vacation fling doesn’t work
out. What seems like magic on a tropical beach loses its shiny luster in the
‘real’ world. Kim Gamble met Alex on vacation in Greece. But when he followed
her back to New York City, the relationship wasn’t the same: “We had a
passionate reunion for a week, but soon — without alcohol and sunshine — the
initial thrill began to fade. Once we were confined to my small apartment,
navigating the thorns of daily life, our relationship became prematurely
serious and painfully pedestrian.” Ms.
Gamble writes in Marie Claire: “Oddly, it reminded me of the vacations my
family used to take — how at the beach I'd pay to have my hair braided Bo
Derek-style. It was a look I could pull off on the sand, but once back home,
waiting for my school bus in the snowy Pittsburgh winter, the braids looked
absurd. I was starting to suspect that bringing Alex home was the starry-eyed
equivalent of wearing cornrows in January.”
Though Ms. Gamble’s affair didn’t work out
in the end, I’m sure she didn’t regret the experience. What might be truly
regretful is having
a connection with someone while on vacation on not acting on it.
Whether it works in the long term or not, if
you’re single and available, leave yourself open to falling in love. Even if
your vacation fling doesn’t turn out to be your soul mate, you’ll always have
the memories.
Have you ever fallen in love on vacation?
Did that relationship last once you got home?

And how can she trust Tony not to abandon her as he did before?

Book Description:
Dani Dipietro has always considered herself an ugly duckling in a family of swans. She's the bridesmaid her friends count on, but never the woman any man wants for his bride. So she plays the funny girl and guards her emotions, and her secrets, closely.
When Zach Morrison was dumped at his wedding, Dani was there to help him through the humiliation. A year later they meet again and once more Zach needs her help. To fend off the unwanted attentions of his former fiancé, he asks Dani to pretend to be his girlfriend. They play their roles a little too well, and make believe turns into reality. But their relationship comes crashing down around them when Zach's trust issues cause him to accuse Dani of cheating. Telling the truth means Dani will betray a friend, something she will never do. But keeping her secrets means she may be destined to remain a bridesmaid forever.
About the Author :
When Jana Richards read her first romance novel, she immediately knew two things: she had to commit the stories running through her head to paper, and they had to end with a happily ever after. She also knew she’d found what she was meant to do. Since then she’s never met a romance genre she didn’t like. She writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and historical romance set in World War Two, in lengths ranging from short story to full length novel. Just for fun, she throws in generous helpings of humor, and the occasional dash of the paranormal. Her paranormal romantic suspense “Seeing Things” was a 2008 EPPIE finalist.
In her life away from writing, Jana is an accountant/admin assistant, a mother to two grown daughters, and a wife to her husband Warren. She enjoys golf, yoga, movies, concerts, travel and reading, not necessarily in that order. She and her husband live in Winnipeg with their Pug/Terrier cross Lou and several unnamed goldfish. She loves to hear from readers and can be reached through her website at www.janarichards.com
