Mila Rossi creates heroines who don't back down, stand up for themselves, and insist on freedom and independence until the right man comes along, then all rules are thrown out the window. The heroes must be clever, generous, and able to throw a girl over their shoulder.

If she's feeling nostalgic, she writes historical romance under the name Alice Lake.

When not typing away furiously, she goofs around with her husband and two troublemaking daughters.

New Historical Coming Soon!

I've been typing away like a madwoman to put the finishing touches on my latest Victorian romance, which I write under the name Alice Lake. The story features a snake charmer, a dashing earl (of course), dangerous secrets, and lots of swoon-worthy moments. Stay tuned!

Art & Artifice is a story that is unlike anything I’ve read in a while. It reads like literary fiction and satire combined. What surprised me were the modern elements juxtaposed with the traditional behavior and speech of the butler. Definitely made ...more

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

“Carlos began writing in his folder. “I have eight guys working with me and a project this size would take about eight weeks.”
“Eight weeks?” she shot back. “That seems an awfully long time.”
He raised his eyebrows and actually smiled. “Yes, but I guess a rookie like you wouldn’t know that.”
This time it was she who frowned back. “Smart-ass,” she mumbled and decided to ignore the dimple in his right cheek. She shouldn’t have encouraged smiling. It was definitely not working in her favor. He didn’t look at all like the nice, safe fellow she had wished for.”
Mila Rossi, Under Construction

“The man was dangerous to the senses. Her eyes feasted on his sculpted muscles, her ears listened to his laughter as he joked with his crew and her nose took in his aftershave. The only senses left were touching and tasting, and she tried her damnest to stay away from those.”
Mila Rossi, Under Construction

“She opened the door in her pajamas and judging by her hair, she’d just woken up, but hell, even in the morning the little pop-tart looked good. Her cheeks were rosy and her lips were plump and ready.”
Mila Rossi, Under Construction

“Do you ever smile, Carlos?” She saw his frown deepen.
“What do you mean?” he replied and moved the folder from one hand to the other.
“You seem to have a permanent frown etched in your face,” she said and the corners of her lips turned up. Those lines on his forehead did make him look rather dangerous and mysterious, but maybe that was not something she needed in a contractor. She’d rather work with a nice, ordinary sort of fellow who looked safe. Carlos seemed the antithesis of that and more.”

“Hi, I’m Carlos,” he said and held out his hand. His usual white t-shirt was replaced by a tank top, thanks to the oppressing heat. Lessi couldn’t fault her sister for staring.”
