I have always loved books but discovered romance books later in life while home with a sick child thanks to my best friend, Brenda. It didn't take long to meet up with Karen and learn that we shared a lot more than a love of books. We are sisters in...

Hey Beautiful!

🔥🔥Welcome to Alicia`s Newsletter🔥🔥

Hot Pick of the Day!

Collection of Four Amazing Stories full of Romance, Surprises and Little Magic.

BOOK 1: GRUMPY DRAGON NEXT DOOR
Beth
I knew that life in York Town was going to be different, especially when the second morning my hot but rude neighbor banged on the wall because I didn’t catch the alarm in time.
It went downhill from there. I was constantly throwing barbs his way, but a few stung when they were thrown back. I saw him differently when he saved my son, and the rough façade fell away. What was left, a man I fell in love with.
But he was something else, something dangerous. I’d fallen for a monster, but I still wanted him.
A human and a fire dragon, how could that work?

BOOK 2: ALPHA WOLF’S SURROAGATE
After years of trying, the Alpha King must have an heir—no matter what it took. He didn’t have emotions. All he knew was to fight battles and to expand his boundaries. So kidnaping Moonlit was no big deal for him…

Moonlit
As an outsider in the Royal clan, all I wanted to do was belong. I was willing to do anything to prove myself and my worth.
A tournament with a tempting prize reeled me in. This was my chance and I won.
Before I could celebrate my happiness, I learned I was stabbed in the back. I didn’t win but put my life in jeopardy. He wanted me for something else, to be the Royal surrogate! He wouldn’t take no for an answer, like I could say it anyway.
But when he was...

Carol Van Den Hende https://bit.ly/45LkzsF Welcome, today we are talking with Carol Van Den Hende! Thanks, Carol, you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer a few questions. First, let`s delve into who you are.

You are involved in so many activities besides writing. Can you tell us a little about them?

Like many Coffee Time Romance readers, I wear multiple hats. For instance, I’m a wife and a mom to twins. By day, I lead the Responsible Use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) for Mars Incorporated. Outside of work, I enjoy contributing on Boards of Directors; recently I served on the Board for a school for students with autism.

Can you share a little something about yourself that’s not mentioned in your bio on your website?

I’m an avid pet parent to two Siberian kitties, one skittish and one goofy. Follow me on social media, and you’ll often see their furry faces on my Facebook or Instagram feeds.

For fun, I love to move to music. At my gym, you might find me grooving to Zumba, Hip-Hop or Bollywood dance classes. If you’ve read my books, have you noticed how my main character Orchid Paige loves to dance?

How long have you been writing?

I’ve been penning stories since childhood. The Goodbye Orchid series was a decade in the making.

What have you found most challenging about it?

I lead a busy life, so I often feel short on time for writing. When I’m able to carve out time, I treasure it and strive to make the most of it!

Now, let’s hear about your series, Goodbye Orchid, which has won awards for Disability Awareness. Can you tell us a little more about the books?

The series asks the question: ‘What happens when life changes in an instant?” In Orchid Blooming, you’ll meet half-Asian Orchid Paige, an executive in the beauty industry whose life changed when she lost her parents at a young age. Now as an adult, she wants to win a work trip to Asia, to feel closer to the memory of her ...
