❤️ More than 3,330 people entered Mara Jane’s first Goodreads Giveaway for The Game of Love: Sex, Drugs and Cash! ❤️

The Love Trilogy began in the most unexpected of places, when Mara spent two months of wrongful imprisonment in Atlanta. During that time, writing became her escape from the cold weight of reality. In that silence, far from everything familiar, the first pages of Isabelle and Nick’s world were born, not from fantasy, but from real-life experiences, shaped lightly by fiction.
What started as a private refuge grew into a story that refuses to pretend. Mara Jane writes about love the way it feels: raw, unfiltered, contradictory, intoxicating, and sometimes cruel. Her characters don’t chase perfect endings; instead, they chase mean

Sometimes it’s actually the strongest kind because it comes without logic, balance, or control.

In the beginning, Isabelle and Nick were genuinely in love, almost like two teenagers discovering emotions for the first time. The problem was not the love itself. The problem was everything that came after... fear, jealousy, pride, power, mistakes, timing. But yes, they were very much in love.
Some relationships are destroyed not because the feelings weren’t real, but because they were too intense.(less)

In that environment, you learn to see people for who they truly are, without the masks. When I moved into the 'High Life' of London and New York, I realized people there wear masks too—they’re just more expensive. My time in Atlanta taught me that love and survival are the same thing, and I brought that intensity to Nicholas and Isabelle’s relationship.(less)

Well… this got a little out of hand.
When I started my first Goodreads Giveaway for The Game of Love: Sex, Drugs and Cash, I had absolutely no idea what to expect.
Apparently, more than 3,000 of you decided you wanted to meet Isabelle and Nick.
Brave decision.
If you haven't won one of the 100 Kindle copies — I have some good news.

Quotes by Mara Jane  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“And then it hit her...
I’m in love.

She closed her eyes and prayed to God to help her. She knew love was the greatest power in this world. Anyone who has felt that power has given themselves up to it. No one can defeat love. Not a single human being.”

The Game of Love”
Mara Jane, The Game of Love: Sex, Drugs and Cash

“Life is as it is, not the way she wants it to be... take it or leave it.”
Mara Jane, Life As It Is: Take It or Leave It

“Don’t worry darling, I didn’t mean that Nick would stop loving you. I only meant that the butterflies eventually calm down. People always remember the first kiss… but that doesn’t automatically make it the most unforgettable one.”

“The Love Trilogy is not a fantasy; it’s the truth that most people are too afraid to tell. Isabelle isn’t a character; she’s a reminder. A living memory of what it means to be human in love, in loss, in life.”
Mara Jane, Life As It Is: Take It or Leave It

“Life is as it is, not the way she wants it to be... take it or leave it.”
