Despite being an avid writer and reader, Hannah decided to do the sensible thing and study science at university, putting authoring ideas to one side. This all changed when she discovered the joys of a good romance book and came to the realisation that love stories are always the best ones.
She now uses her knowledge of chemical bonds and reactions to ensure her books are full of sparks. In fact, the electricity between her characters is sure to set your pulse racing and your heart fluttering.
Hannah loves reading to her three children, including doing all the silly voices, and going for long walks in the countryside (the muddier the better). Her head is always full of new story ideas and you are most likely to find her avoiding the demands of her very naughty cat and disco dog as she attempts to write them all down.

Short Author Bio: Cecilia Rene is a Detroit native who attended Grambling State University and then ventured to the Big Apple with nothing but a hundred and twenty dollars to her name, and somehow she survived. After working nearly fifteen years as a Post Producer in the NY Advertising world, Cecilia continued her love for writing with Screenplays, until finally, she met a group of like-minded individuals online before she ventured into publishing herself. Always an avid reader of romance and all things spicy, Cecilia fell in love with historical romance and craved to tell her own stories. When she’s not writing in her office with her very loud snoring companion, Sadie the pitbull, she can be found hiking the trails of Austin where she now resides with her giant teenager and grumpy husband. Cecilia Rene loves romance, humor, and all things spicy. For this reason, she will always give you a Happily Ever After.

Suggested Books for New Readers: Snowed In at Christmas Cottage : very solid forced proximity and enemies to lovers tropes, and set over Christmas. BUT, look beyond this, because this book is really about two complicated, damaged men helping the other to heal. The emotions are big and will punch the reader hard in the heart. This book is like a stick of rock, it has Ali Ryecart running all the way through it.

Short Author Bio: The stories I only ever told myself were set in a world where boy met boy, where best friends became more, where the hero rescued not the damsel but the hot guy he’d been secretly crushing on.
I wanted to read those stories. I craved to read those stories. But those stories weren’t out there. Or that’s what I thought, until one Christmas, when I unwrapped a shiny new e-reader. All it took was a few clicks, and my world changed forever.
But there is life outside of MM & gay romantic fiction in all its configurations. Allegedly.
When I’m forced to switch off the trusty, faithful word machine, there’s a husband to feed and talk to, pubs to drink in, and cake to eat. I love to do all those things and more before I rush back to write all the words.
I’m a born and bred Londoner and although I now live just outside the big bad city all it takes is a short train ride to ensure I get my regular metropolitan fix.
