Twilight Bells & Wishes is HERE!

I'm so excited to announce that Twilight Bells & Wishes is HERE!

$0.99 on Amazon and a quick one hour read you can squeeze into the busy holiday season. 

Enjoy!


 



A fake relationship with mega-star Isla Martin is not what Tobi C. had in mind this holiday season.

Celebrity Isla Martin has conquered Hollywood and is about to take the music world by storm with her singing debut at the festival. To get her ex off her back, she kisses a handsome stranger to prove she’s moved on, which leads to more than she bargained for when the kiss is splashed all over the media.

How did helping a damsel in distress land Tobi as Isla’s fake boyfriend? Now he’s being chased by the paparazzi, when all he wants to do is perform for his fans and write songs in his hotel room. He’s a fish out of water as Isla’s arm candy.

As the days fly by, fake dates lead to real feelings. Can this opposites-attract couple see a future past the festival when they come from different worlds?

If you love fake relationships, celebrities, and rockstar romance mixed with holiday/Christmas cheer, then you’ll love this short story by award-winning author Lisa Swinton

Isabelle & the Beast

This is a charming retelling of the Beauty and the Beast fairytale by Ms. Rian. 

I liked the timless setting, the change ups on the classic, and the wonderful use of tropes to bring Isabelle and Andre together. 

It's well crafted, well told, and with emotional depth packed into its pages. 

It's a short and satisfying read, perfect for the holiday season.

There are wolves all around, Belle, and they aren’t the only beasts.

He says this to her as if he should care. As if she could be his. But Lord Bentley is meant to inherit his estate and grand gardens of roses, and Isabelle is only meant to tend them.

As Isabelle contemplates her future, including a proposal from a tenant farmer her father is keen for her to accept, she cannot escape Lord Bentley’s friendly but determined kindness. Surely he must know that someday she will leave, and he will marry to secure his standing in society. Their childhood friendship will be as if it never existed. She will forever only be the girl who tended to the gardens.

At every turn, the vile Mr. Godfrey encroaches on Belle and her confused heart, while Lord Bentley’s intentions are directed toward a young woman who should be his wife. Isabelle should accept Mr. Godfrey, but the cruelty of surrendering her heart to secure Lord Bentley’s societal standing eclipses even the ferocity of the beasts which lurk in the forest.

Isabelle and the Beast is a standalone Victorian-era romance inspired by the classic tale Beauty and the Beast. It is an enchanting tale of forbidden love and the struggle to find one’s place in the world. If you like historical romance and a captivating story set during the most wonderful time of the year, then you will love this story by Olivia Rian.
