***EXCERPT***
Has he noticed that I’m pregnant?
She knew she wasn’t showing yet; but she couldn’t be too sure. Suddenly, she wanted to share the news with him. They both seemed so content, so replete, it was only natural that she tell him they were having a baby. “I am going to have a baby,” she whispered, eyes on his. “Your baby.” She didn’t want to miss his reaction.
She didn’t.
At first, he only stared at her in confusion, as if she’d just spoken another language. Gradually, the smile on his face faded as the impact of her words sunk in. “Are you saying you are pregnant?” he asked clearly.
Eden nodded slowly. His reaction wasn’t what she was expecting and she felt cold all of a sudden.
His gaze flew to her stomach, taking in her palms curved protectively across it. When he raised his eyes back to hers, they were as cold as the northern pole. “And you are saying the baby is mine?” his voice had gone cold, too.
His words felt like a physical blow across her face and she winced. Suddenly, his body wasn’t so warm anymore. She shivered in his arms. “Who else?” she whispered raggedly. “I haven’t had sex with anyone else in a very long time.”
She could feel him withdraw from her—first his heart…and then his body.
Declan shook his head as if to clear the web in it, opening and closing his mouth like a hooked fish in the ocean. He released her arms that were not too long ago wrapped protectively around her.
This was when she knew he wasn’t going to accept responsibility. Only moments ago, he’d been holding her so tight that she couldn’t move. Eden stood. Shivering, she wrapped his jacket around her body as she gathered her clothes from the floor.
He continued to stare at her, like she was some kind of unknown entity he couldn’t identify. He continued to sit, naked. His stunned gaze following her every move as she slipped the gown over her head.
“Say something,” she whispered when she finished dressing.
“It is not mine,” he said at last.

Alexandria “Lexi” Riley has kissed a few frogs in her life, hoping that one day she’ll finally find her prince. But, what she doesn’t bargain for is a prince who used to be her client—a client whose wedding she was paid to organize and whose pride she had to protect when his bride-to-be left him.

Still reeling from the tragic loss of her husband, Kerrie Bramble struggles to move forward. With a young son to support along with the ever-present memories and regrets still plaguing her, this fateful anniversary—Christmas Eve—proves to be just as difficult as those before it.
Having so many emotions already stirring, Kerrie’s resolve is once again tested, when she’s denied a loan for the new bakery business that she’s counted on to support her and her willful son, Jayden. A surprise visit from long-time friend and her deceased husband’s best friend, Dwight Thornton, complicates matters further.

Detective Nicholas Duncan had it all. A beautiful marriage. A successful career. Then one day—his wife, Lee—leaves him. Nicholas suspects she’s having an affair and he can’t imagine why she would be so cavalier about what they had together for all those years.
Believing she’d thrown their marriage away for the sake of a fling with another guy, Nicholas desperately pursues her. Months pass while he tries to contact her. If he can’t restore what they once had, he thought perhaps he could at least discover why she left him. If she would just tell him what she apparently didn’t want to say months back, he would at least be able to accept it.

COLOR OF LOVE GIVEAWAY & BLOG HOP!
Hi there! I’m Roxy Wilson, your friendly neighborhood bestselling romance author! My specialty is writing Contemporary and Paranormal Romance, often touched with a bit of mystery and suspense. It is, indeed, a pleasure to be invited by Kiru Taye, Nana Prah and Empi Baryeh to participate in this year’s Color of Love Giveaway & Blog Hop. Thanks ladies!
Occasionally, I’ve heard readers complain about the lack of diversity in romance novels, but this is not necessarily true–at least, not in recent years. With the likes of authors such as Lena Hart, Sharon Cooper, Laurel Cremant, among others, you’ll be sure to meet a plethora of heroes and heroines who are people of color, who love hard and face some awesome challenges, just like every other couple in the land of make believe and even reality do.
So, who is Roxy Wilson? I’m glad you asked (lol). I’m a Caribbean girl, who launched her writing career in 2009, but who began writing romance in 2012. I was later published in 2013, and have had many bestselling titles since then. Check out Amazon’s Roxy Wilson Page to see a list of my books.
Interested in winning over $200 worth of prizes? Then click here to enter the rafflecopter.

Follow These Blogs!
Originally posted on Musings of A Romance Junkie:
There’s hashtag trending on Twitter called #WeNeedDiverseBooks. Well, there should also be a hashtag called #WeNeedDiverseBloggers because I can count on both hands the number of blogs there are that are run by women of color that blog about, feature, and review books written by black and other authors of color (although not necessarily exclusively). So, if you’re truly serious about diversity in romance, I’ve created a follow train. These are all good blogs with something to offer for everyone, and they deserve a shout out, but more importantly, they deserve a follow. I’m referring specifically to “blogger” blogs and not author blogs (although I got love for y’all too). If I missed anyone, please leave them in the comments.

Amazon… A virtual marketplace, or Big Brother?

A couple of weeks ago I read the third installment of a series I really loved. I will refrain from sharing the name of the novel and its author.
Like any reader, as soon as I finished reading, I wrote my review. When I tried posting it on Amazon (I did buy the eBook, just like any normal and decent human being would), I received a rather concerning email.
I will not share the screenshot of the email as it does contain the title of the book and name of the author. In its place I have copied the body of the email below.
Dear Amazon Customer,

An Open Letter to White, Straight, Able-bodied Romance Authors
A great post by Renée Reynolds.
Originally posted on Obstinate Headstrong Girl ~ author Renée Reynolds:
My esteemed colleagues,
We have a very long way to go .
Most of us say “Diversity in literature is really important,” and/or “I am not racist/ ableist/homophobic,” and/or “Of course, I would buy a romance novel by or about a person of color/gay or lesbian/disabled person.” But when was the last time you did?
When was the last time you bought a romance by an author, or about a character, with a different cultural, historical, or physical experience than your own? About a person with a different skin color, nationality, religion? About a gay man or lesbian or transgender person? When was the last time you bought a romance with a physically or mentally disadvantaged hero or heroine? A novel about people who live in the margins?
When was the last time you wrote one?
Women are overlooked in myriad areas of publishing—book contracts, sales, awards…

BLURB
Twenty-four-year-old, plus-size model, Layla Turner has sacrificed much and worked hard to be at the top of her game, concrete evidence that she was able to rise from the ashes of her past. Then her life suddenly changes when she starts losing her signature creamy, caramel brown hair that helped to set her apart from the rest of the pack. This mysterious illness could mark the end of her career—and the demise of her two-year relationship with her fiancé, Gage Shelton.
Pediatric oncologist, Dr. Clint Collins is a highly respected physician in his field. He has an excellent track record, as well as the love and confidence of the kids in his care. But something sinister is causing some of his young patients, who seem to be making a full recovery, to lose their battle with cancer. Not only does Dr. Collins feel somewhat responsible, but he also risks losing his job as he tries to uncover the truth behind his patients’ deaths.
Layla and Clint’s worlds collide when they meet each other for the first time at the General Hospital. Their attraction to each other is tangible, but while Clint is ready to give his heart, his love to Layla, she holds back, thinking that since she isn’t good enough for Gage, she certainly isn’t good enough for him.
Can the balding, plus-size model learn to appreciate her perfectly imperfect self and to give love a chance?
