Baby Benefits

CONGRATULATIONS . . . DADDY! Those were the last words CEO Derek Messina expected to hear. Sure enough, the little bundle of joy abandoned on his doorstep weeks ago was, in fact, his daughter. But discovering he was a father didn't rock him nearly as much as the news that his long-time assistant Raina was quitting. On the verge of merging his diamond franchise, he couldn't lose the one woman who'd managed his life for all those years. Now Derek had to use all of his negotiating tactics . . . including seduction . . . to keep his loyal assistant around!

One Child

Billion-Dollar Baby Bargain

Yet Jack couldn't ignore the attraction he felt for Madison. Their affair was fast and furious…and soon fraught with regret.

The Sarantos Secret Baby

2011

He was as tall and dark as the devil...and was her family's hated adversary. But that didn't stop Selene Louvardis from wanting Aris Sarantos with her every breath. Or grabbing her one chance for a forbidden night with him.He was never supposed to learn she'd borne his child. But when Aris stormed back into Selene's life and discovered the truth, nothing would stop the ruthless billionaire from claiming his own. Not her family, not the billion-dollar contract at stake and certainly not something as inconvenient as love. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.The devil had come to her father's funeral. Though Selene Louvardis had always heard it would be badmouthing the devil to call Aristedes Sarantos that. Aristedes Sarantos. The destitute nobody who'd risen from the quays of Crete to rocket to household-name status in the shipping industry and beyond. A name that everyone whispered in awe, a presence everyone heeded. A power everyone feared. Everyone but her father. For over a decade, not a week had passed without hearing about yet another clash in her father's ongoing war with him. The man her father had said should have been his biggest ally, but who'd become his bitterest enemy. Now the war was over. Her father was dead. Long live the king. If her brothers didn't put their differences aside, Aristedes Sarantos would soon assimilate the empire her father had built and they'd expanded before each had tried to pull it in a different direction, would rule supreme. She'd been shocked to see him at the funeral. He'd stood in the distance, dominating the windy New York September day, his black coat flapping around his juggernaut's body like a giant raven—or a trapped, tormented soul. She hadn't thought it strange when someone had speculated that he'd come to claim her father's. She'd thought he'd leave after the burial. But he'd followed the procession to the wake. For the past minutes, he'd surveyed the scene from the threshold of her family mansion, like a general taking stock of a battlefield, a magician setting his stage by casting a thrall. The moment she thought he'd turn and leave, Sarantos moved forward. She held her breath as his advance cut a swathe through the crowd. On a physical level, apart from her brothers, who stood his equal, everyone he passed by dwindled into insignificance. On other levels, he was unrivaled

I write the kinds of books I want to read. Fast-paced books with lots of world-building, snarky heroines, and swoony heroes. I love story, pop culture, gossip, and baked goods.

We have dogs, chickens, cats, and more LEGOs than should be allowed by law. Oh, and I stress bake. So if my characters talk about food a lot, that’s why.

Paula Roe

Author · 9 books

A former PA, office manager, software trainer and aerobics instructor, Paula Roe now writes for Harlequin Enterprises, the biggest romance publisher in the world. Harlequin books go out to over 28 countries and translated into 28 languages in 114 international markets on six continents. When she's not writing, Paula is designing websites, wrangling a teenager, coping with her Twitter and stationery addictions, dreaming of traveling and spending copious amounts of time on the internet. She currently lives in Sydney with her family, two cats and an assortment of native birds.

I have to say that I pretty much blame my mother for all this. If my dear Mum wasn't an avid reader of romance, then I might not have fallen in love with romance novels myself. And then I wouldn't have decided to write my own romances. Thanks Mum! Of course, I never thought it would take me 20 years before I saw my first piece de résistance in print. Perhaps I wouldn't even have tried, but you know, I think I still would have reached for my dream. Romance novels offer such wonderful affirmations about love and relationships that I can't imagine not wanting to share my stories with others. I currently live in Melbourne, Australia but over the years have travelled to New Zealand, the UK, and the USA. In my own backyard, my husband’s job ensured we saw the diversity of the countryside, from the tropics to the outback, country towns to the cities. I find it very fitting that I sold my first manuscript on January 26th 2006, which is Australia Day in my country. Since that fateful day I have had 12 books published, selling almost a million and a half copies worldwide in as many as 17 languages. I'm also published in short stories worldwide in national magazines. I am married to Geoff, who has proven his hero status many times over the years. We have two handsome sons and an assortment of previously abandoned animals. I'm always happy to hear from my readers. For me, it really is a pleasure to be here.

Robyn Grady

Author · 31 books

Robyn received a book from her big sister and immediately fell in love with Cinderella. Sprinklings of magic, deepest wishes come true - she was hooked! Picture books with glass slippers later gave way to romance novels. When she was older, she wanted to write one. However, in junior high, Robyn hit a stumbling block - a disheartening grade of one out of ten for a book review. Confused and hurt, she asked her hundred-and-thirty-year-old English teacher why the low mark? The wizened schoolmarm sniffed, "You obviously had a senior do it for you." Thankfully Robyn's business teacher was a honey. Following a fifteen-year career behind the scenes in television, Robyn knew the time was right to pursue her dream of becoming a published author. Late in 2004, she received a phone call from a London editor. She'd submitted a manuscript to the Sweet line, which were featuring lighter, sexier stories to be released under the Tango banner. The editor was very interested in her story, but for a brand new line. Robyn didn't stop smiling for a week, but sometime later learned her revised manuscript hadn't hit the mark. Then she received another call and another request for revisions to a second manuscript! That didn't sell either. On a third manuscript she received a very long, very detail email, asking for, what would turn out to be, a complete rewrite. Having torn out most of her hair, but with 13 contest finals in 2006 (including winning the Golden Pen and Where the Magic Begins), she finished the rewrite then contacted a New York agent. That wonderful agent took her on, and Robyn sold in a matter of weeks, first to Silhouette Desire, then Modern Heat (Sexy Sensation/Presents) with a two book deal! She is currently writing manuscript number fourteen. Robyn lives with her own modern-day hero on Australia's Sunshine Coast with their three little princesses, as well as two poodles and a cat called Tinkie. She has majors in English literature and psychology, and loves new shoes, worn jeans, visits to the theatre and lunches at picturesque Moffat Beach with her writer friends.
