Blye Donovan

I write pulse-pounding romantic suspense books. With small-town settings (sometimes—but not always).

Love quirky characters and familiar landmarks that show up in multiple books of a series? You'll find those in my Rolling Brook Protectors.

My characters typically include alpha protectors, strong heroines, and dangerous villains.

Some common tropes in my books are forced proximity, opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine, second chance.

Angela Taylor

Angela writes steamy, frisky, fun contemporary romance that always includes humor, heat, and lots of snarky banter. Happily ever afters are a must!

When she’s not writing romance, she’s probably either reading in the “Bunny Estate” (aka his own bedroom) with her bunny, Tag, glued to the TV watching everything from Hallmark to The Amazing Race to John Wick, or going to the theater for a popcorn fix—er—to watch a movie. Oh, and let’s not forget drinking way too much Diet Coke! (Yes, she knows she has a problem. Don’t judge!)

Angela shares her rural home with three short, furry children, Remi, Ruby, and Starsky, and her husband, Dean, who is used to the dogs being mentioned first.

Zelly Jordan

The love of a good story is the reason Zelly Jordan says she had her nose in a book most of the time growing up. Escaping into a world of great love, great adventures and sexy-smexy fun times with drool-worthy heroes and feisty strong women was the highlight of every day.

A lover of good coffee, cats and a good chat, with the occasional glass of wine, she lives in the most livable city in the world, Melbourne Australia with her mostly grown son. Divorced and happily single, Zelly realised the danger she was facing in becoming the crazy cat lady and it was this fear, together with her love of a particular television show that lead her to give writing "a go". She let the world in on her attempts as she went along and put it out there on the w
