Lovelorn, Lovestruck and Love at First Sight (HARDBACK)

INTRODUCTION

I love a good romance story, and seeing as you’re here, I’m assuming you do too.

What I like best, is being able to try on a new life without having to go to the trouble of getting a divorce and finding a new man.

I can live vicariously through the heroine, without worrying about who’s turn it is to wash the dishes, or do the laundry, or take care of the dog deposits.

Fancy being a high-powered New York lawyer whose car breaks down and meets the cutest country bumpkin who arrives to tows her car back to town?

Or a London chef who lives in an athlete’s super bachelor pad so she can cook nutritional meals to help him perform at his best, and helps herself to him at the same time?

Or a Melbourne socialite who meets her match in the construction tycoon who wants to tear down the property she’s marked for social housing?

It’s all good – you don’t need to go back to University, lose a bunch of weight or a decade or two.

You can just enjoy your heroine’s struggle against herself before she sinks into love. Or lust.

And reminisce about the days you used to wear clothes that were too tight, and didn’t need to dye your hair.

And the darker and more miserable it is out there in the real world, the more I want to curl up with something I know where it’s going, even if I don’t know how it’s going to get there.

There’s nothing better than a romance when your boss had words with you, your train was delayed, or you had an uncomfortable day at the hospital.

Romance is pretty much the perfect read whenever you’ve had a shitty day.

Or have to spend a lot of time waiting for appointments, and can’t be dealing with long or complicated plots.

With romance, you know the couple will end up together, but not knowing how they’ll get there is always exciting.

There is nothing quite as satisfying as closing the book on a happy ending, wiping the tears from your eyes, and getting back to the laundry.

So, here are five of my favourite short romances, (that I’ve written):

• Cosima meets Fabian, the wannabe Opera Singer on her working holiday.
• Jennifer has business back in her home town, but the only business she’s interested in is Jason, the one who got away.
• Sandra works as a scheduler in a movie studio, and Dan, the CEO hopes she’ll schedule time for him.
• Christy’s a photographer who has a crush on her subject, while Hunter will do just about anything to meet his idol.
• Jessica’s a writer, and Jason, the actor hired to play her main character, looks exactly as she imagined him.

So, I’ll leave you in their capable hands.

We recommend storing your book away from sunlight on a clean dry shelf, washing your hands before you pick it up, and not licking your fingers to turn the pages. If you’d like to preserve it for the long-term, don’t dog ear the pages, put a bulky bookmark in, or prop it open on the table to mark your place.

But if you want to read it in the bath with a glass of wine, or scoff a kebab for lunch while you read, we won’t tell.
