This Month's FREE Romance Story

I Found Love on Thanksgiving Day

There is absolutely nothing that gets you over an old love like a new love.

That Thanksgiving day, I just wanted to be left alone. I had broken up with my boyfriend of two years. It had been a long time coming, but I knew it was inevitable. Jason and I just weren't meant for each other. But it still hurt, and I needed to be alone to lick my wounds and take stock of things...Read the Free Story Here

Turn Up The Heat!

When Love Sizzles--Out Tomorrow

There's sex and then there's sizzling sex--and the difference between them is like the difference between vegetables and dessert. We may need the former, but the latter is infinitely more luscious. In this latest TruLove Collection, due out November 27, you'll discover love and passion that heats up in stormy weather, on a dare in a bar, popping out of a cake at a bachelor party, in a would-be open marriage, and even on one lover's menu. Wherever it takes place, whomever it is with, you can count on sizzling sex to be a game-changer. Read Here

Enjoy a Vintage Tale of Romance!

From 1952: My Best Friend's Husband

Divorce had brought Stella worse than loneliness and heartbreak. It brought an aching hunger for love which drove her into the arms of a man she had no right to want.

From the train window I could see the arid reaches of Nevada, yellow gray in the late sunlight, stretching as far as the eye could see to the distant mountains that hung motionless and unreal against the sky. As quiet and gray and barren as my own...Read The Story Here

Our She-Roes

Eva Longoria Just Keeps on Giving

Eva Longoria captured our attention as the difficult, but loveable, Gabrielle Solis on the acclaimed television show Desperate Housewives, which premiered in 2004 on ABC. The actress received accolades for this character and became a major celebrity as a result, but this was not her first role on the small screen.

Celebrity Romance

Opposites Attract: Love Goes On for Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck

For an A-list couple, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner rarely end up in the glare of the tabloids. Instead, year after year, their love and friendship continue to grow-and so does their family.
No one saw it coming, this seeming pair of opposites. Jennifer grew up in West Virginia and was raised in a conservative family. After college she headed for New York and a life in the theater.

Love, Lies and Dating: A Crazy New Blog

Is She a Fool for Love or Just a Fool?

Dear Second Acts;

My friends think my boyfriend, Marty, is a total sh*t. They all say I'm crazy to stay with him. He's sexy, funny, makes a ton of money, and is incredibly fun. Yes, he has fooled around on me in the past, but that was years ago and we got through it. He swears he'd never do it again and I do believe him.

Aris Returns: A Vampire Love Story

Psychologist Sarah Hagan thought she had her life under control. From the outside, it looks like her life is almost perfect. It only takes one patient--a handsome younger man named Carlos who is on parole for car theft--to put her well-ordered life into a tailspin. As she regresses him with hypnotherapy, she discovers an unusual presence. Is this some elaborate alter ego that Carlos has created or is something much stranger going on? In Sarah's attempt to help Carlos deal with his issues of anger and a troubled past, she is captivated by the persona she uncovers through hypnosis--Aris, a vampire.

SLEEPING WITH DOGS AND OTHER LOVERS

To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com

LOSING IT FOR LOVE

All of us long for true love. Unfortunately, however, some of us despair of ever finding it. Often it's because we live with a gripping sense of defeat brought on by some unwanted feature. Usually our nemesis is our weight, although sometimes it's a particular part of our body, like a nose or a chin that is undeniably out of proportion to the rest of our face. Although their motives for changing the course of their lives were different, our heroines all learned the same lesson in the end: It's easier to find your true love when you start by genuinely loving yourself. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com

FORBIDDEN LOVE

No one is immune to the temptation of forbidden love. Many of us merely dip our baby toe into this realm - perhaps by Googling the names of old lovers to see what they look like now, years later, while our spouse watches television in another room. Or we spy on an alluring married co-worker by studying his Facebook page to learn as much as we can about him. The stories in this collection let us venture deeply into the libidinous world of forbidden love - all while never leaving the comfort of our own lives. Sit back and succumb to its pleasures. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com

FALLING IN LOVE . . . AGAIN

It's hard to imagine that out of the depths of despair a new opportunity for love can emerge, but in these tales you'll meet a jilted bride, a single mom, a 9/11 widow, and a bitter city girl who all get a second chance at loving happily ever after. Whether you're heartbroken or have sworn off love forever; love comes when it's perfectly timed or when you least expect it. This collection of fourteen inspirational stories will convince you that there's always a chance you'll . . . fall in love again. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com

WHEN LOVE GOES BAD

Even "been there, done that" readers will be surprised by the extraordinary accounts of love destroyed by an affair exposed on national TV, a Botox babe, and a handsome, but heartless, doctor. Twelve unique stories of bad boyfriends chronicle the relationship rollercoaster of the highs and lows that so often define romantic love. To buy the book, go to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com
