When Romance Transcends Time & Space #WRWbuzz

That’s quite a statement, isn’t it? And no, I don’t mean science fiction, but there is a time travel. This is about nine authors joining together in an anthology where each one writes a novelette length story that sweeps through time, and is set in a different exotic location.

 

I’m thrilled to announce that we, The World Romance Writers, are launching our first anthology next weekend! Letterbox Love Stories Volume I will be the first of many WRW anthologies to come. The heat level ranges from sweet to sensuous.

What thrills me as much as the actual release of this precious first volume is the beautiful experience of nine women working together to create a win-win situation for all concerned.

My story, Abandoned Treasures, is set on the enchanting island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. What has a reality TV star got in common with a reclusive European billionaire? At the personal invitation of Rico di Carlo, Sophie decides to spend what would have been her honeymoon—had she not ditched her cheating fiancé—jetting off to one of the world’s most exclusive playgrounds. The secret love letters Sophie discovered in the antique desk Rico bought have ignited a desire to experience true love of that caliber. She vows she’ll never again settle for anything less. Rico withdrew from public life following the mysterious death of his wife to pursue a secret passion. A man of many secrets, he’s become Sophie’s biggest fan. He’ll have her to himself for one week. Will it be enough time to convince her to stay forever?
