Title: Scarlet Dreams
Author: Meghana Sarathy
Genre: Forbidden Romance, Age Gap, New Adult, Love Triangle
Release Date: February 29, 2024



When I was still a little girl, playing with barbies, I saw him as my Prince Charming.
The day I learned what a ‘crush’ means, he was bestowed with the title of my first crush.
As I transitioned into a teenager, he morphed into the man of my dreams.
Every time I got myself off, he was the one who starred in my dark fantasies.

The only one I ever wanted.
But for him, I was merely his best friend’s daughter.
Completely off limits and unattainable.

Until the storm hit.
The tragedy changing the course of all our lives.
He was there through it all..
The man I so easily fell in love with
The one who finally saw me as a woman who had eyes only for him
Hope of finally getting a chance with him blossomed in me

Only for reality to slap me in the face.
There was only one true love of his life
It wasn’t me.
It was my MOM.





Meghana Sarathy is from Bangalore, India. She is an avid reader and also a writer. She writes Adult and New Adult romance, and also wishes to try her hands at dark and psychological thrillers. She especially loves reading and writing love triangles, taboo romance, and angst filled stories that are quite complex and unconventional. Her books tend to involve protagonists who are flawed, far from perfect, and as real as they can get. Her all-time favorite characters are her very own characters- Jennifer, Brandon and Linden. She tends to fall hard for boys who are either cocky, bossy, good flirts and total charmers.

She spends most of her free time reading, writing, watching anime or binging shows. Her favorite genres are Psychological Thrillers, Teen Drama and Sci-fi (especially time travel stories). Being a business analyst in a financial firm, she is plugged into the world of finance and has also dabbled in cloud technology. She plays platform games in PS5 when taking short breaks from writing. She is a crazy fan of Dragonball Z and can be seen watching the episodes in repeat. Vegeta is her all-time favorite anime character. Steins Gate and Monster come second in the list of her favorite anime, and currently Mr.Robot and Dark are her fav non-anime series.

“Two pink lines. Two potential fathers. One decision that could ruin everyone.”

 

They call me the Sophie ‘The Handler’ Havers at my job as a criminal prosecutor because I’ve never lost a case.

 

There’s nothing I can’t handle.

 

Including Drew Harper— the man who’s been obsessed with me from afar for years. He’s intense, protective, and possessive. 

 

I bump into him the night after I throw my lying ex out.

 

He tells me that if he had things his way, he’d be my husband already.

 

So, I do something reckless. I tell him to show me what being his means. And I’m swept up into his dizzying world where he treats me like a goddess.

 

Then two pink lines appear.

 

I don’t know who the father is.

 

But both men want to play daddy.

 

Only, they have history. And not the good kind.

 

They’ll both fight dirty to get their own way.

 

And that’s only the start of my problems.

 

Suddenly I’m facing something bigger than any case in my career and I’m left with only one option.

 

I thought I could handle anything. But this could be the first time I lose it all. 


What to expect: This is a full length, stand-alone spicy romance. There’s no cheating between the two main characters, and it is NOT a love triangle. Be prepared for drama, angst, secrets, a whole lot of spice, and a man who will do anything to hold onto the woman he’s always wanted, because love always wins.

Meet Elle Nicoll

I’m a mum of two from the UK, and I worked for many years as long haul cabin crew for an airline.

Each story I'm currently writing (and the future ones to come) have had my soul poured into them. 

 Just like we are all different, my characters will be too.

I hope they will feel real. Flawed, insecure, broken maybe. But also warm, considerate and loyal. Any elements that you think of when you consider the people you know.

Because no one is perfect

One thing every book will have though—love. However they get there, whatever the journey to it looks like, there will always be love.

That I promise.

Because...

Love Always Wins

Title: The Billionaire Is Back
Authors: Kayley Loring & Connor Crais
Genres: Contemporary Romance/Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Small Town/Billionaire/Brother's Best Friend
Release Date: January 25, 2024


BLURB

People in this small town are whispering…

What they’re saying is that the billionaire is back and he’s going after his best friend’s sister.

What I’m trying to do is help Claire Sweeney’s bakery business.

What I haven’t been able to admit to myself is that in all this time, no matter how hard I tried, I never forgot her.

Now she’s all grown up. I can’t stop thinking about her muffin. Or how guilty I feel when I fantasize about buttering it.

Claire has always been as much a part of Beacon Harbor as the hanging flower baskets, the boat tours, and the lobster races. She has no idea how beautiful I think she is. Even when she has flour on her face. Even when she’s rolling her eyes at me.

I’ve got her brother’s approval, but now it’s Claire that I really have to convince.

She doesn’t believe we have the right ingredients for a real relationship—so she only agrees to pretend to be my girlfriend to help me close a deal in New York.

I believe she’s about to discover exactly how I roll when I know what I want.

And what I want is her.

Release Date: February 1

Things that stress out this widowed single mom: high fructose corn syrup, intrusive thoughts about my son getting swept up by a tornado, and the sexiest hockey player to grace this planet.

Oh, and the fact that I’m also said hockey player’s physical therapist. But we’ll lock that tidbit away in the same nightstand as my battery-operated toys.

Moving my son and me across the country to live with my three best friends and our seven children into one dilapidated Boston brownstone should have been the biggest risk I’ve ever taken–not figuring out how to protect my heart, career, and panties while trying to navigate my secret double life.

But Rowan ‘Slick’ Parker is nothing if not hell-bent on taking slapshots at my comfort zone. The more I try to keep things professional, the more he works to break the rules with his charming grin, piercing gaze, and world-class rear end.

Not to mention, he adores my son.

So, I finally give in.

Don’t worry, though, it’s all temporary–a way for us to get each other out of our systems.

But little do I know, ‘temporary’ has a way of leaving lasting impressions on the heart.
