Danger: the catalyst that brings two people together…
Not everyone waits for that online website or a friend’s well-meant blind date to meet the man or woman of their dreams. Sometimes they find each other when they’re “on the run.”
In books of The Wild Rose Press Crimson Rose line, you’ll read “stories driven by revenge, greed, betrayal, anger, love, desire, yearning and more,” romantic suspense at its best.
But seriously, aren’t those all the best emotions and motivators? I suppose there are people in the world who thoroughly enjoy when the alarm goes off too early in the morning just so they can start pushing pencils, like Bartleby the Scrivener. They can spend the whole day adding numbers and making reminder phone calls, a true white-bread existence. But fortunately for all of us, men and women do NOT live by white bread alone.
We want to read passages that set our hearts thumping, make us catch our breath, send a rush of dizzy adrenaline through every vein and tingle every nerve down to our toes.
Life occasionally gives us those moments when we can become more than we really are, something empowered and driven and special. Romance authors like Alana Lorens take those moments and bring them to life through characters you can love and endings that remind you that sometimes those lemons in life can make delicious lemonade.
Alana Lorens grew up reading the classic mistresses of romantic suspense– Victoria Holt, Mary Stewart, Jane Aiken Hodge, Dorothy Eden– and has continued to read right up through modern authors like Brenda Novak, CJ Lyons, and many more. She’s proud to now bring you her own tales of passion with the spice of peril mixed in.
