Author Description

Some love stories begin with a glance across a crowded room. Others start with a second chance, a fake date, or a grumpy hero who never saw it coming. From sun-drenched small towns to rain-soaked Pacific Northwest nights, the authors of Hot & Steamy in the PNW invite you into worlds where connection is everything, and happily-ever-afters are always worth the wait. Inside these pages, you'll find friends who become lovers, rivals who can't resist each other, strangers bound by fate, and hearts brave enough to try again. Whether you crave slow-burn tension, laugh-out-loud banter, or steam that'll fog your windows, this collection has a story waiting just for you. Featuring original short stories from over ten bestselling and emerging romance authors, The Stories Between Us is a celebration of love in all its messy, tender, breathtaking forms. All proceeds benefit the Humane Society of Southwest Washington, because every love story deserves a rescue.
