Book Description:

They agreed on three months…but their love knew no boundaries.

Jack McLachlan is a winemaking magnate and easily one of Australia’s most eligible bachelors. His success and wealth makes him no stranger to the complications of romantic relationships and that’s why he goes to extreme measures to avoid the hassle. He prefers simplicity in the form of a beautiful female companion with no strings attached. He arranges relationships like business deals and they’re always the same. No long term relationships. No real names.

It’s his game and his rules. He’s content to play as usual, but when Laurelyn Prescott enters his life, his strategy must change because this player is like none he’s ever encountered. His world is turned on its head after he begins a three month affair with the beautiful American musician. Nothing goes according to plan and as he breaks more and more of his own rules for her, she’s exceptionally close to becoming something he never thought possible. His ultimate game changer.

Inspiration for BEAUTY FROM PAIN

By Georgia Cates

Where did the inspiration for Beauty from Pain come from? My readers.

My last published work was classified as new adult and it received a warm welcome from readers. They liked my racier story. I felt more open to write scenes I couldn’t for the “normal” young adult genre. But I still wasn’t satisfied and wanted to take it up another degree.

What can I say? I’ve fallen in love with adult contemporary romance.

What is Beauty from Pain about? I’ll tell you what it’s not about … Not the perfect man and the perfect woman having the prefect love affair. Beauty from Pain is unconventional to say the least. Laurelyn’s scruples could be questionable. Jack’s maybe even a little frightening, all while being hot as the devil’s ass. Their relationship will be considered bizarre by some. (Most.) And I’m okay with that. It’s different. And interesting. That’s always all right in my book.

International Giveaway

I have one e-book of Beauty From Pain to giveaway.

To enter, please leave your email address and answer this question, “Do you remember your first kiss?”

Giveaway ends Feb. 7th.

 Winners will be given a coupon code to redeem their book through Smashwords by the author.

All winners submitted will be sent to the author at one time after the Feb. 11th date to be sent their coupon code. Allow until at least Feb.  16th to receive your book. This gives AToMR a few days to tie up loose ends with the giveaway and the author to email coupon codes.

ARBOREATUM

goodreads-badge-add-plus for awaken

Description

Horror on the lonesome plains!

When a band of westward pioneers – lost, starving, and desperate – stumbles upon an unlikely oasis in the middle of a barren prairie, Micah wonders if his family has finally caught a lucky break…or does this new Garden of Eden hide a forgotten terror behind a veil of earthly delights?

ARBOREATUM is a novella of horror, young lust and delusions of grandeur, a unique and thrilling vision by new master of modern horror, Evans Light.

“If you love writers like Joe Hill, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson or Joe R. Lansdale, you owe it to yourself to give Evans Light a try…this new voice on the scene packs enough inventive storytelling twists to delight even the most jaded fans of horror and suspense.”

The Light Brothers have been very busy.

They’ve set up their own Q & A on Goodreads
