Great news, y'all! WANDERLUST, my rockstar romance that is loosely tied to the Loving on the Edge series has sold to Berkley! This will be an ebook only release, but it's a short-ish novel (65k words), not a novella.
From Publisher's Marketplace"
Fiction: Women's/Romance
NYT bestselling author Roni Loren's WANDERLUST, about a reporter asked to cover the revival of a local rock band and the lead singer of that band who doesn't need the distraction along the way to that revival, to Kate Seaver at Berkley, for publication in July 2016, by Sara Megibow of kt literary (World).

Some of you may have seen this story in the Brenda Novak charity anthology last year, but it was only out for a month and has never been available as a standalone. So I'm super excited that I'll get to share it with you!
And if you've been following me for a long time, you may know that WANDERLUST is the story I wrote before CRASH INTO YOU. It had some interest from another publisher, but then I got the book deal with Berkley for LOVING ON THE EDGE and had to shift all my energy to that.
It's one of those books of my heart. I love music and going to concerts, and writing Lex Logan, lead singer of Wanderlust, was so much fun. So expect a hot rockstar with a bad boy attitude, a determined reporter, and the city of New Orleans as their backdrop.
Tentative plans are that it will be out sometime this summer!
More soon. :)
It's release day! Woot! And it's a brand new series!!!
I can't tell y'all how excited I am to introduce you to The Grove and Dr. Donovan West and Dr. Marin Rush. I was a little scared to jump into a whole new world after writing in the Loving on the Edge "universe" for so many years (that series is continuing as well!). But once I started to create The Grove for the Pleasure Principle series, it was so much fun. It's a whole new world and cast to explore, which just does a writer's soul good. :) If you'd like to read the first chapter, you can find that here.
And here's a little bit more about the book:
Overtime has never felt so good…
Marin Rush loves studying sex. Doing it? That’s another story. In the research lab, Marin’s lack of practical knowledge didn’t matter, but now that she’s landed a job at The Grove, a high-end, experimental sex therapy institute, she can’t ignore the fact that the person most in need of sexual healing may be her.
Dr. Donovan West, her new hotshot colleague, couldn’t agree more. Donovan knows that Marin’s clients are going to eat her alive unless she gets some hands-on experience. And if she fails at the job, he can say goodbye to a promotion, so he assigns her a list of R-rated tasks to prepare her for the wild clientele of The Grove’s X-wing.
But some of those tasks are built for two, and when he finds Marin searching for a candidate to help her check off her list, Donovan decides there’s only one man for the job—him. As long as they keep their erotic, off-the-clock activities strictly confidential and without strings, no one will get fired—or worse, get attached…
*Paperback edition has a bonus short story.

More about my contribution:
BLURRING THE LINES by Roni Loren
A year has passed since Gretchen lost her fiancé, but she still can’t sleep. Or paint. And her new home in New Orleans is either haunted or she’s finally going crazy.
Her bet is on the latter.
So when her best friend, Burke, offers to sweep her away to a private luxury island for a break, she can’t say no. Maybe if she can be someone else for a few days, the ghosts of the past will quiet. At least for a little while.
Burke knows what she’s going through. She lost her fiancé, but he lost family. He gets her in a way no else can. But lately she’s noticing things she shouldn’t about her former fiancé’s younger brother—his sexy smirk, that spicy Cajun accent, and the way he looks at her when he thinks she’s not paying attention. A week alone with him? Dangerous. If she blurs the lines between them, she could ruin the only friendship that means anything to her. She could ruin it all.
But the island of Eden has its own agenda. The island knows what you need. That’s what the invitation says. She just never imagines it will grant her the one wish that could destroy them both.
Contemporary Romance with a Paranormal Twist

And up next after this is NICE GIRLS DON'T RIDE and the SWEET SEDUCTION Boxed Set (both available for pre-order now)!
So I've been sitting on this news for a little while and couldn't wait to share it with y'all. Especially when many of you have been emailing me and asking me the questions:
Will there be more books in the series?
What heroes are going to get their own books?
Are we ever going to see so and so again?
Will NOT UNTIL YOU have a paperback edition?
Well, finally I can tell all. Because this was annouced in Publisher's Marketplace today:
Women's/Romance
NYT bestselling author Roni Loren's next two books in her Loving on the Edge series and the first book in a new contemporary erotic romance series, to Kate Seaver at Berkley Heat, in a good deal, in a three-book deal, for publication in 2015, by Sara Megibow of Nelson Literary Agency(World).
Yay!
So what does this all mean specifically? Well here goes.
And if I don't say it enough, I want to thank each and every one of you who read my books. You are the reason I get to keep writing these. I heart you all!
*By the way, if you like the photo of Pike above, I've updated all the photos of the heroes on The Ranch page. Check it out. :)
So are you as excited as I am? What hero were you most hoping would get his own book?
