The quest for Olympic immortality is killing Natalia. Literally. She has pushed her body beyond endurance and she has nothing left to give. Good thing Zechariahs is there to pick her up and ease her through the transition from Olympic athlete to normal life.
Zechariahs has loved Natalia from the first moment he met her when they were both teenagers. He knew she had ambitions she had to pursue and kept his distance, but was unable to completely leave her. That is, until her mother moved her to another city with a better training facility.
From that moment on, Zechariahs dedicated himself to being ready when Natalia left gymnastics behind. He intended to be there.
But will Natalia recognize when it’s time to hang up her leotard and live her own life, or will she honor the wishes of her mother and continue on the path she’s followed for most of her life, even if it means losing out on her chance at true love?
You can Win:

Victor Barboza is a man who has everything but a good woman.
Cara Green has a young son, three part-time jobs, and a few extra pounds.
Their worlds collide as Cara serves Victor at an upscale party in Manhattan, upsetting Victor's ex-fiancee, Alexis, in the process.
Victor pursues Cara, but Cara is not sure of his intentions: Is he using her to make Alexis jealous? Does he just want her for sex? Or is love Victor's true aim?
You can Win:
2 signed complete set of signed paperback copies of the Barboza Brothers series. (If the winner is outside U.S., the prize will be in e-book form instead of paperback.)
When tough battle-scarred photojournalist-turned-wildlife-photographer Lacey Sommers travels to Costa Rica in a last-ditch effort to save her job, she meets beach-bum-gorgeous Luke Hancock, an outdoor guide, environmentalist and expert on economics and sustainability, who’s been hired by her magazine to serve as her pilot and wilderness guide for the duration of her stay.
It’s clear from the outset there is a powerful physical attraction between the two, but strong personalities, pre-conceived notions, an unexpected and contentious family connection, and the scars from a tragic death and a terrifying event threaten to keep them apart.
Will Lacey shed the mantle of Kevlar she’s worn for so long and allow Luke inside her heart? Or will her ostensible strength be her downfall?
In the hospital they keep calling her Sam and telling her she's married to Alex Porter but she doesn't know this Alex. Then she discovers she's lost more than a year of her life and Alex can't, or won't, tell her what happened. He refuses to let her see or talk to her father and there is also something very important about Samantha, she can't remember.
Alex Porter can't explain how Sam was either pushed or jumped from a moving car traveling away from him, or why Sam's memory disappeared but he's sure her father played a role. All he can do is offer support as she recovers and wait for her to come to him as she had before the accident, hoping against hope, Sam's father has not ruined his marriage and driven away the woman he is starting to love.
You can Win:
e-book copy of Betrayed Bride (winner's choice of format)

Erotic Paranormal M/M Romantic Suspense Novella
Detective Nicola Dupré is back at work after a six-month sick leave, but he's still haunted by his sister's tragic death. When Captain Moore gives him an unofficial undercover assignment to befriend the sexy, charming Nero Thorn, the erotic writer Nicola idolizes, he quickly accepts. He thinks it's an easy job until he gets to know the mysterious BDSM author. Overwhelming emotions he can't explain draw him ever closer to Nero.
Nero Thorn's a recluse and he likes it that way. When he literally bumps into his shy, handsome new neighbor, Nicola Dupré, sparks fly. He's drawn to Nicola like a moth to a fire and he quickly falls in love. But he has a dark, dangerous secret he's kept hidden from the world for years. If Nicola ever finds out who he really is, he'll run away in fear.
There's a serial killer out there, and the murder of his sixth victim was written in Nero's last novel before it ever happened. There's a connection between Nero, the sixth victim, and the killer, and Nicola has to figure it out before the killer strikes again.
Question to answer: What is Nero Thorn's occupation?
