Soraya M. Lane is the Amazon Charts & Kindle #1 bestselling author of THE SECRET MIDWIFE and THE ITALIAN DAUGHTER.

Soraya is thrilled to be publishing four new novels in 2025. Soraya has two new historical WWII novels, THE PIANIST'S WIFE and THE SECRET LIBRARIAN, and they're both available now. Soraya has also published two more books in her Lost Daughters series. Book #6, THE SPANISH DAUGHTER, was published in March and book #7, THE HIDDEN DAUGHTER, was published in October.

As a child, Soraya dreamed of becoming an author. Fast forward more than a few years, and Soraya is now living her dream! Soraya describes being an author as "the best career in the world", and she hopes to be writing romance and women's fiction for many years to come.

That's fantastic that you won the book! My publisher surprised me by giving away so many copies pre-release. Unfortunately I don't have book plates, but I will enquire about them and what the cost is as I'm sure this might interest other readers of mine too. Hope you enjoy it, Soraya x(less)

Thanks for reaching out! I have very minor (not explicit at all) build up to the characters being intimate in Wives of War and Voyage of the Heart (the couple are married), but there is no descriptive sex scenes at all. That covers anything that I write as Soraya M. Lane, including my upcoming release Hearts of Resistance and any future historical fiction/women's fiction. BUT, I also write hot contemporary romance as Soraya Lane, such as Cowboy Stole My Heart, and you'll notice from the covers that those novels are very different in content and style, and they do have fully descriptive sex scenes. Hope that helps! Soraya xx(less)
