Here’s a blurb about NEVER TRUST A BILLIONAIRE:

 Can working girl Claressa Lauriano outwit a not-to-be-trusted billionaire who is determined to have his way with her?

 Amazon.com and Smashwords.com

In print at Amazon.com. 

BEWARE OF BILLIONAIRES BRINGING ROSES

Billionaire Elliot Beaumont has a laissez faire attitude concerning women... or in other words, he takes them and leaves them. After casually giving one of his American Rose homegrown blooms to his company’s newest employee, Claressa Lauriano, he then learns his father, the CEO, wants him to pursue her to obtain her family’s small vineyard. Elliot assumes she’ll be flattered by his advances, only to learn that she has a laissez faire policy as well; she wants him to leave her alone. She doesn’t trust him... and rightfully so. The only way he can think of to get his hands on the grapes is to arrange to be fake engaged to Claressa. However, the longer she is his faux fiancée, the more he wants the engagement to be real. Can he convince his prickly American Rose to take a chance on a billionaire?

BEWARE OF WORKING GIRLS GROWING GRAPES

Claressa Lauriano has been working at her new job for only a month, but she also tends to her family vineyard on the side. When she shares a sample of grapes with her office, she comes to the CEO’s attention... which then means she comes to the company’s Chief Biotechnology Officer’s attention--playboy, billionaire Elliot Beaumont. Oddly enough, Elliot suddenly bulldozes his way into her life by becoming fake engaged to her. She doesn’t trust him or his motives, and why should she? Billionaires and working girls come from two different worlds. Why is he so insistent that she is meant to be his?

Here are some wonderful reviews of NEVER TRUST A BILLIONAIRE:

Trust me... this contemporary billionaire romance is 5 stars! In the battle of “Working Girl Vs. Billionaire” who is going to be the winner? Claressa takes care of her grandfather and her younger sister. Quite frankly, she minds her own business. Suddenly, she comes to the attention of the higher ups at Beaumont Industries where she works, and neither her nor Elliot Beaumont’s life will be the same again. I laughed out loud at the scene where Claressa slaps Elliot--much to his surprise. No one ever told this billionaire “no” before. A very satisfying read!--Just Imagine Fanzine

Beware of billionaires offering a single red rose! Claressa unsuspectingly accepts the flower, and ends up fake engaged to billionaire Elliot Beaumont. As she struggles to end this pretend arrangement, Elliot becomes more and more enamored of her. He wants the engagement to be real. Will he win Claressa over? I love how this down-to-earth gal unwittingly lassos in the uber-rich Elliot. That guy never had a chance! Enjoy!--S.G. Reviews

I hope you enjoy! NEVER TRUST A BILLIONAIRE is the seventy-fourth card in my digital card series.

A Spooky, Down-To-Earth Trading Card!

Love ghostly romance stories? Here is the newest card from The Book Nook, my own category of collectible cards for my Romance Writing With A Twist Books.

This week’s book, number 70, is MY FAVORITE GHOST, the fun, frothy contemporary romance with a paranormal twist.

At the end of the Blog you’ll find the digital card that you can click on and save to your device.

Here’s a blurb about MY FAVORITE GHOST:

Is it possible to make love to a ghost?

Amazon.com and Smashwords.com.

In print at Amazon.com.

HIS DREAM COME TRUE

Billionaire Timothy Bolland Carter is having a very interesting day... and night. First he finds out that he has a previously unknown great grandmother, Emaline, who is not only turning one hundred years old, but who also practices Appalachian Granny Magic. Then, he receives a wake-up call--literally. A very friendly... and passionate ghost visits his bed in the dark of the night. He doesn’t know the woman and she doesn’t let herself be seen. When morning arrives, not only is she gone but there’s absolutely no way she could have entered or departed from his penthouse apartment. She says she’s a ghost, but is she really? How can Carter find her again?

HER WORST NIGHTMARE

Doctor Gabrielle (Gabby) Rossi has her life on track. So what if she’s twenty-nine, single, with no special man on the horizon? When billionaire Timothy Bolland Carter arrives at her medical office to handle a cyber attack, she ignores him as if he had the plague. This man was responsible for “knocking up” and abandoning her best friend. But even though she gives him the cold shoulder, she can’t help but fantasize about indulging in some late night aerobics... in the privacy of her mind, of course. A couple of intense dreams later, and then... Wait a minute! How did she get pregnant?

Here are some wonderful reviews of MY FAVORITE GHOST’:

5 Stars!! A great way to start the New Year! Carter is a billionaire with a problem in bed. No, it doesn’t have to do with women... then again, maybe it does. After he visits with his long-lost great grandmother--who tells him she practices Appalachian Granny Magic--his sleep problems get worse... or better, depending on how you look at it. Carter is a wonderfully appealing character who treats everyone with respect. He is interested in his nighttime ghost, but also feels a connection with a Doctor Gabby, who won’t give him the time of day. Getting these two together was fun to read. Their delightful banter made me keep turning the pages. I had no idea how this unusual situation would resolve itself. Ms. Knight delivers once again!--Just Imagine Fanzine

5 Stars! Romantic and Sexy! My Favorite Ghost is a mix of contemporary romance and paranormal romance, showing that there are more mysteries in the universe than meets the eye. And when the desire is strong enough, even the impossible can happen. I recommend it!! S. A. Santos Reviews

I hope you enjoy! MY FAVORITE GHOST is the seventieth card in my digital card series.

The Scoop on Writing: NEVER TRUST A BILLIONAIRE

Okay, so maybe I was in a nostalgic mood. I felt drawn to write a contemporary romance but where would I set it? Who would be my characters? How would I twist and turn them so that they would fall in love?

The answers to these questions hearken back to the past: my past--my great uncle’s house on Staten Island. I’d already written a short story using this house as a backdrop (“Grand-mère’s Sainte Bleu”) but now the house itself is almost a character. The tiny vineyard in the back of the house certainly is! Here is what I came up with:

BEWARE OF BILLIONAIRES BRINGING ROSES

Billionaire Elliot Beaumont has a laissez faire attitude concerning women... or in other words, he takes them and leaves them. After casually giving one of his American Rose homegrown blooms to his company’s newest employee, Claressa Lauriano, he then learns his father, the CEO, wants him to pursue her to obtain her family’s small vineyard. Elliot assumes she’ll be flattered by his advances, only to learn that she has a laissez faire policy as well; she wants him to leave her alone. She doesn’t trust him... and rightfully so. The only way he can think of to get his hands on the grapes is to arrange to be fake engaged to Claressa. However, the longer she is his faux fiancée, the more he wants the engagement to be real. Can he convince his prickly American Rose to take a chance on a billionaire?

BEWARE OF WORKING GIRLS GROWING GRAPES

Claressa Lauriano has been working at her new job for only a month, but she also tends to her family vineyard on the side. When she shares a sample of grapes with her office, she comes to the CEO’s attention... which then means she comes to the company’s Chief Biotechnology Officer’s attention--playboy, billionaire Elliot Beaumont. Oddly enough, Elliot suddenly bulldozes his way into her life by becoming fake engaged to her. She doesn’t trust him or his motives, and why should she?

I’m loving your new billionaire romance!--Reader Comment

This book is part of the Romantic Contemporaries line.

Real life tidbit: So, as I mentioned, this Staten Island house is real. On Hope Avenue, with two lions guarding the front entrance, with a vineyard in the back, with an oil painting of an older relative who seems to follow you with his eyes no matter where you walk in the front room. In the excerpt below, it is our billionaire, Elliot Beaumont, who comes across this intriguing portrait and, quite frankly, he gets a little spooked by it!

Sitting in a curved back chair to the right of the door, Elliot had an excellent view out the large bay window and also of the stone fireplace. Hanging over the mantle was an oil painting of a stern older man. Not as old as Federico, but most likely a relation. Perhaps his father, Claressa’s great grandfather.

The man’s dark eyes were the most striking feature. Wherever Elliot walked in the room, the man’s portrait gaze seemed to follow him. A rather whimsical thought, but truthfully, a bit creepy.

As he had noticed, this front room or parlor, wasn’t used much. Perhaps it was a shrine.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 One more thing: at one time I did take the MTA bus over the Verrazzo Narrows Bridge to my job in lower Manhattan. Those were the days!

I hope you enjoy Claressa and Elliot’s story!
