Derek For the past two years, my assistant Bethany Colombo has unknowingly been tormenting me. Hiring Bethany to keep my private security company, Pride Security, running smoothly was both the best and worst thing I ever did. There is no question she’s the most reliable and hardworking employee I have. If only she wasn’t wrapped up in such a sweet-smelling, amazing assed, too young for me package. I hate and crave, in equal measure, each morning when she bounces through the door. Bethany is exactly what I need to grow my fledgling company and continue to provide for my employees. There’s no way I want to fuck that up… Bethany My attraction to Derek Lion has only grown over the years. There’s just one problem... he’s my boss. Part of Derek’s attraction is that he respects me as a person. Which means he will never act on his feelings. As Derek and I work together, to find a cursed Venetian mask, I am determined to prove to him that we are a perfect team inside and outside of the office. I am hell-bent on getting him to finally act on our mutual feelings… First being released in The Secret of the Jeweled Mask anthology!

Rene Webb, a former Catholic schoolgirl and child of the ‘80’s, is a recovering soap opera addict who grew up watching General Hospital. She became weary with the relentless drama and sought out stories with happy endings that lasted. Now, Rene is an erotic romance author, where there is always a happily-ever-after! Authors such as Jane Austen, Kristen Ashley, Cherise Sinclair, Sierra Cartwright, Donna Fletcher, and Laura Kaye have inspired her. They all create strong female characters, swoon-worthy men, and stories that leave their readers with the hope that you, too, will find your own H.E.A.! Rene’s novels include UNCOVERING LILY a sexy romance with a dash of suspense, FINDING SUNSHINE a sweet and sexy contemporary romance, and A WHITE HOT CHRISTMAS a steamy holiday romance. A graduate of The George Washington University in Washington DC, ’05, with a BA in History. Rene went on to get her Masters in Film Studies, ’09, from Chapman University, Orange, CA. When Rene’s characters aren’t talking to her, she enjoys reading, seeing movies, going to museums, playing tabletop games and spending time with her friends and family.
