Romance that comes straight from the heart
Hello lovely readers.
Early last year I released a book titled Unbroken under my old pen name. The period I was writing it, I was personally at a crossroads, searching for a role model who could somehow guide me.
I didn't find one. Instead, I found a muse whom I admired a lot. He was a gym instructor; caring, gorgeous, and big as a tank.
In the process, my lovely muse had helped me craft the physical and emotional traits of the book's hero, Callum Wolf, a cop-turned-bodyguard who has sworn off love.
Here's the truth. Following the launch, I received feedback from readers, telling me that the story was pretty hard to follow.
Well, I agree.
But I have faith in the characters and the book means a lot to me. So I decided to rewrite it.
Lucky for you, the better and cleaner version of the book is now available for your enjoyment.
Introducing.... PROTECTING HER.

You can buy the book from:
Amazon
Apple
SmashWords
***BUUTTT... if you sign up to my newsletter, you can DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE.
Yes, the whole book, not just a sample or teaser. That's how much this book means to me.
Enjoy! And drop me a message if you have any feedback or comment.
If you love it, of course I will appreciate if you spread the word.
Yours in romance,
Alessa

Four reasons NOT to buy this book
Hi lovely readers.
Longing for You goes live tomorrow.
If you've bought the book, thank you so much!
If you're still on the fence about it, here's something that might help you decide.
Four reasons NOT to buy Longing for You:
1. If you crave a story about a maiden in need of rescue
Our heroine Arianne Whiteley is a powerful woman who has more than just deep pockets. She's fiercely loyal and has a lot of fight in her.
2. If you're looking for a sexy read that has no story
There are plenty of steamy scenes in this book, but there is a solid storyline behind every action and decision the characters make.
3. If profanity and violence isn't your thing
Our hero Lucas Grayson is a mercenary, so there's a degree of cussing and violence in the story.
4. If happy endings make you angry
At the end of the day, this is a romantic suspense novel with a satisfying ending.
If you don’t meet any of the criteria on this list…
Then there’s a 99.23% chance Longing for You is perfect for you.
If you're ready to immerse yourself in this explosive love affair, make sure you purchase a copy during the launch period to take advantage of the special price of $1.99.
If you're on Kindle Unlimited, it's free.

This stubborn couple won't take no for an answer
We're inching closer to the launch of Longing For You.
Last week we talked about the thrill of a secret relationship. Today, I'd like to introduce you to the couple who makes it—in fact, more than that, they triumph and turn their forbidden romance into inspirational love.
Meet the tough hero and heroine behind the story, Lucas Grayson and Arianne Whiteley.

LUCAS GRAYSON
Montana man Lucas Grayson loves his son. So after his wife files for divorce and threatens to take his child, the notorious mercenary hopes to get the law on his side. And when a stunning and well-connected businesswoman helps him gain joint custody, he opens up his heart to new possibilities.

ARIANNE WHITELEY
Nothing intimidates Arianne Whiteley. Heading west to care for her best friend, the New York oil tycoon doesn’t shy away from helping a handsome guy with legal troubles… and showing him she’s definitely attracted. And despite his dangerous past, she’s determined to claim him for her own.

Sshh... this secret love affair is about to explode!
Imagine something with me for a moment.
Go back to the time when you fell desperately in love. A bonus point if your love was a secret - so deep that it hurt.
Feeling goosebumps yet?
The idea of an undercover liaison can entice even the least adventurous souls. Let's face it, forbidden fruit tastes extra sweet, and keeping a part of you mysterious is kind of thrilling.
Experts often discount secret relationships as real love, and the general consensus is that such relationships don't last.
One couple certainly defies the odds.
Meet Lucas Grayson and Arianne Whiteley and follow their journey in Longing For You. What starts as a secret ends with a triumph as they become 'the' fearless lovers of Random Valley.
I will send more updates closer to the launch (Friday, May 13th -- defying the odds, I believe it's a lucky date).
