Hello! Thanks for visiting with me, and thanks to CTR for having me as a guest. I was born in South Carolina, have lived in England, Canada, Miami, Atlanta and now Houston. I’ve seen a lot of this country from the windshield of a Dodge diesel truck towing a horse trailer, having had the extreme pleasure of breeding, training and showing magnificent Andalusian horses for many years (I’m the one on the white horse). I’m a mother (have 2 wonderful sons), a former legal assistant, now Content Strategist for an advertising agency.
As to writing, I change genres to my editors’ consternation (I think). I have 3 paranormal romances: Sinners’ Opera, the sequel Sinners’ Obsession, and the Georgia Romance Writer’s Magnolia Award winner Cardinal Desires. I’ve written one controversial, very deeply psychological dark fantasy that I never, ever thought would get published until an author friend encouraged me to submit to her publisher. Canadian publisher, Double Dragon Publishing contracted Gemini Rising. A sample of all of the Double Dragon books is available on their website.
Today, I’d like to introduce you to the hero and heroine in my sci-fi romance, Love For Sale, which is due for release from The Wild Rose Press on June 10th. What would you think of sentient androids completely indistinguishable from humans and programmed for sensuality and true love?
Blurb:
March Morgan still believes in true love, but her faith in finding her soul mate is slowly vanishing.She’s been married but never in love. So, it is a miracle to find that fantasy exists on the last page of a glossy women’s journal. Mayfair Electronics, Ltd., in black and white, offers Love for Sale. The London firm has engineered sentient androids indistinguishable from humans. She flies to England and meets the man she has been searching for her entire life.
Christian requires no programming to love March at first sight. He’s handsome, cultured”¦absolutely perfect”¦and a little different from the other androids. He has an unexpected independent streak. March signs on the dotted line, buying her dream man. They return to Houston, but soon her past and his future threaten their Happily Ever After””indeed their lives.
Excerpt
Motionless, she watched the parade of beauty, but none of them struck the special chord that would make her heart sing. They can be customized, she reminded herself. Still, it took more than looks to make her fall in love.
Then he strode through the door, and her heart did a double backflip. She inhaled a soft gasp. He was perfect, no customization needed. The only programming required was a sense of humor and an intense libido. Lord, she wanted to touch him, run her fingers through his hair and kiss that luscious mouth.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.” His voice defined musical and played that special chord she’d dreamed of. “I was on the phone.”
The Special Editions had gathered around her. The auburn-haired woman whispered a laugh. “Is there any need for more than one introduction, Ms. Morgan?”
That someone was speaking barely registered. March didn’t respond. She was speechless and couldn’t peel her gaze off the most beautiful man she’d ever seen. His eyes were crystalline blue, his hair wheat colored. She’d wanted sparks. She’d gotten fireworks! No way in hell was she leaving London without him.
Spellbound, March was drawn one step toward perfection, her willful eyes traveling over his body, pausing at his zipper, sliding down his long legs. The wasted years looped through her memory, regret stinging her eyes.
Melissa squeezed her hand. “Ah, you like our blond.” She beckoned. “Come, Christian.”
In tight jeans and a tux jacket with plaid cummerbund and bow tie, her dream man paused in the light of a crystal and gold chandelier.

Under the pen name, Bianca Swan, I’ve published 3 erotic romances, two from The Wild Rose Press, and one from Double Dragon. They are Celestial Sin, Hot Spanish Nights and On Wings of Desire.
I rode horses because I love them. I write because I love it. I am also fond of men with long blond hair and blue eyes. I am a fan of sleek, fast cars. I am into the symphony, adore piano, enjoy giving formal dinner parties and forcing the men to wear tuxedos. ïŠ You can find me at:
