He knows what he wants. He plans to get it.

Is it possible to meet the love of your life in a liquor store?

Molly assumes the nosy, muscular (gorgeous) man is a rude stock boy until he hands her his business card. Porter imports fine wine, and Molly sells fine… other things… in her very naughty boutique. A match made in heaven?

Passionate, laid-back, and a teensy bit bossy, Porter will become your next favorite book boyfriend.

Imagine... "Fatal Attraction" meets "Lassie."

There is plenty of suspense, humor, and romance in this book, but how much is real, and how much is make-believe?

Finn Reilly and Lily Drummond have chemistry that's combustible, and Finn commits to repairing Lily's broken heart, but it's not all that easy.

They face an escalating problem with Lily's roommate and her confusing behavior. Just how far will the woman go to ruin everything? Her odd behavior turns dangerous, and lives are threatened.

Guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger, but the family's story continues with Book Two, The Artist. Both are standalone novels that are more fun when they're read in order.

*Warning*: possible triggers, bad language, and hot, steamy, sexy scenes.

In the city known for romance, David and Amelia's Parisian experience is full of arousing sensuality. They are also confronted with lies, deceit, and treachery.

David Drummond is a muscular, blond Adonis of an artist. After a shirtless photo of him, splattered with paint, in low-slung jeans appears in a popular arts magazine, his career takes off.

While in Paris, he learns the unimaginable truth about his family that was previously hidden from everyone. The story is an emotional rollercoaster.

The love of his life, Amelia Hernandez, is a talented designer who wins a competition and is sent to Paris to work for a famous fashion house. Later, she learns the real reason she's been invited to Paris.

Appropriate for adult readers. This is a standalone story that will pull on your heartstrings, but it's even more fun to read if you've experienced Make Believe first.

About the author

Ariella Talix is a best-selling author from Indiana who writes spicy romance because she loves a great happy ending. Her books are all either MF or MMF (“swords” cross) stories for readers who share her belief that all love is beautiful.

Ariella’s novels are full of humor and suspense. She has written both historical and contemporary tales. Her “Hearts of Gold” series is a thrilling saga based on the 1849 California Gold Rush. This was inspired in part by family history and would make a fantastic miniseries (an author can dream). Her contemporary books are filled with adventure and people who can’t live without their dogs, cats, and horses. Her women are strong, and her men are swoon-worthy.

If you get a chance to attend a book signing event, she would love to meet you!

And, in case you were wondering, "Ariella Talix" is a Pun Name.

If you slip her a shot of tequila, she may act out a scene from one of her books. ;) For more information on her books, please visit www.AriellaTalix.com.
