Gandhi once said, "Where there is love there is life." Mandy McKinney Thirty-eight-year-old Mandy McKinney has been there, done that, and burned the t-shirts of her past. Being the Director of Publishing for Lucent Entertainment, she now wears pantsuits in the color of success. The last thing Mandy was looking for was love. She certainly had no intentions of falling for a man who was not only twice her age but also the new CEO and her boss. Adding to the complications, Mandy's obsession is married, and she has a dark secret of her own. Derek Cox Sixty-something CEO, Derek Cox, is all business when it comes to his role at Lucent Entertainment. Though Mandy McKinney was smart as a whip and knew the publishing business better than most, she was young. As far as Derek was concerned, she was inexperienced. She was also a distraction, one he never saw coming. With the rising market and demand for publishers, she was a distraction he didn't need...but he wanted her more than he cared to admit. Mandy and Derek together were like oil and water that transitioned into a beautiful work of art. The beautiful, inexperienced distraction he didn't want became all he could focus on and the urge he had buried for her, only grew stronger. As for Mandy, she was head over heels for the very man she'd had no intentions of falling for. Where there's smoke, there's fire and the sparks between Mandy and Derek are hot enough to set the world on fire, not just their souls.... But will they ever succumb to their forbidden desires or will they let the embers of love extinguish?
About the Author: Shaunna Rodriguez wrote her first book at the age of six and her first novel at the age of ten. She was an award winning, published author by the time that she was twenty-five and a Best-Selling, multi-general author at the age of thirty. She owns her own publishing company, Unveiled Books, and manages the Unveiled Review Team, which offers reviews for other authors. She strives to give back to the writing community and to help others achieve their dreams of writing and success. She enjoys traveling the world and is an avid cruiser. Her passions in life are God, reading and writing and of course, her English Bulldog, Sadee. She lives in the moment and spends most of her time writing and naturally, reading. Her favorite genre to read depends on her mood though Agatha Frost and her Peridale Cozy Mystery Series, quickly became one of her favorites. There are entirely too many others to name but she enjoys the thrill that comes with horrors. The mystery in dramas and the laughter in romantic comedies. Her current best selling series is the Sweet Seduction Series which is NOT erotica but more like Nancy Drew meets Betty Crocker and teams up with Sherlock Holmes in this detective series with lots of baking, chaos and dead bodies with a dash of romance and by dash, I mean someone dumped the whole bag of sugar into the mix. Bakers, Bundt Cakes & Bodies is a riot from the start and kicks off this multi-book series that clearly has no end in sight or at least, not any time soon. She also has numerous novellas for those times when you want a great book to read but don't have a lot of time to spare.
