RED, WRITE & BLUE
A laugh-out-loud romance about serious things.
*CLOSED DOOR*
*NO CHEATING*
*FICTIONAL SMALL TOWN*
Scarlett Lewis, successful writer of steamy cop romances, is in a rut. After a rough break-up, she just isn’t feeling the romance anymore. But her publisher isn’t having it; Scarlett is under contract, and has to deliver another bestseller.
Scarlett’s sister offers up her lavish mountain holiday home for a writing retreat, and Scarlett is happy to accept. What she hadn’t counted on was the local sheriff’s sergeant with blue eyes, dimples, and a sexy Texan drawl. Her sister’s unexpected arrival upends everything, and the sisters’ relationship begins to unravel.
Scarlett has to learn how to stand up for herself and be honest about who she is, even if it means risking losing the people whose love she craves the most.
Sergeant Kyle Martenson values honesty and the integrity of his uniform above all else. Ex-LAPD, he loves working in a small town. He is not that keen on tourists, and he certainly doesn’t date them. Particularly not if they’re fancy writers from the big city with snobby sisters, no matter how cute they are. No matter how many times they bombard him with baked goods. So how come he asked for her number?
Perfect for fans of small town romance, protective heroes and sizzling chemistry with a Happy Ever After, Red, Write & Blue is a closed-door, sweet romantic farce set in a fictional town in north Idaho. It’s a laugh-out-loud story about serious things like choices, insecurities, and love.
RED, WRITE & BLUE
"Kyle is a hero to adore. He's got a wonderful personality and a big heart. His menagerie was a great touch (love the animals!). He's like a real guy!"
"...a tender narrative that beautifully portrays the deepening bond between her main characters.
Rönneus' storytelling is rich with emotion, allowing readers to feel the warmth and affection blossoming within the protagonist's relationship."
"...this is a romance novel, yes, and Kyle and Scarlett's story takes center stage in the action, but it's all framed within Scarlett's relationship with her sister Maddy. How they treat each other changes, and it's so relatable to any woman who has a sister."


A Scouse Romance

Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered...
When garden designer Rose Anderson is tackled by a tactical police officer, it isn’t just the collision that shakes her. It’s attraction at first impact. Unable to forget the sexy officer who saved her from being shot, she’s overjoyed to meet him again a few days later.
Foxtrotting together sparks love at second sight and the beginning of a sultry summer romance. Yet the dangers of Tom’s job take their toll on Rose, and eventually prove too much. A visit to a new client’s property takes a terrifying turn, and leads to a closer encounter with Tom’s work than Rose had ever expected.
Rife with references to classic jazz, this sensual and quirky romcom is set in the bustling Liverpool area.
