Jamie Craig - Writing on the Edge of Erotic Romance

 

Welcome!

Passionate, intimate relationships between two people can take place in any setting, time, or universe a writer can imagine. Immersing readers in another world and making them feel emotions along with the characters is the writer's job. Enter here to encounter love in all its dramatic, angst-ridden, humorous, or sizzlingly sexual glory.

Whether you're a fan of contemporary, paranormal, or historical romance, you'll find something to enjoy. My style is very personal and my characters will feel like well-known friends by the time you've finished reading. I'm interested in flawed, often damaged, people who find the fulfillment they seek in one another.

The Final Act

Available at Samhain

Life imitates art? One can only hope…

Elena is a by-the-script actress whose co-star, Michael, has a gift for improvisation that drives her crazy. Fighting a fiery chemistry, they work to keep their on-stage romance where it belongs—on the stage. But a year-long road tour stretches before them. How long can they keep a lid on their simmering passion?

When his left-behind boyfriend, Tom, seems withdrawn on the phone, Denny questions his lover’s faithfulness. Their once-solid relationship faces its biggest test during the long separation.

Inexperienced Gretchen is thrilled to land her first professional role in the musical, Transitions, but the pressures of performing are more than she bargained for. Entranced by her wholesome sweetness, Jake, the pit guitarist, endangers the very qualities he admires by giving her a “little something” to take the edge off her nerves.

Every night for a year, they’ll play out a “happily ever after” on the stage. Before the last curtain call, will life imitate art?

 

PERFECTING AMANDA

One woman, two men—the choice of a lifetime and the chance for a perfect future.

When Amanda McCormick heads west as to create a home of her own and begin a “perfect” marriage with a man she’s never met, gambler Spencer Teague intercepts her. Pretending to be her fiancé, he tricks her into surrendering her virginity.


Amanda hides the misguided affair and forges a relationship with her young husband, Travis. But her secret haunts her when she learns she’s pregnant. Meanwhile, Spencer is haunted by visions of a little girl who demands he find and help Amanda.


Their lives entwine as the three come together in an unexpected relationship that touches—and tortures—them all. Amanda questions whether perfection is attainable and if it’s possible to love two very different kinds of men.

Reflection of Beauty

Christine Dawson has been haunted for months by vivid, lucid dreams in which she must tear through barbed roses to enter a castle and rescue a phantom lover. In her waking life, she is a struggling artist on the brink of her first gallery show and a chance for success.

Eric Leroux is a scarred man both inside and out with a damaged face and emotional trauma from his youth. His wealth allows him to hide from the world, living in solitude. But one glimpse of vivacious Christine through a remote viewing of her show awakens a deep-seated desire he can’t deny.

He commissions Chris to paint his portrait in order to bring her to his secluded estate. Can she push through the barbed thorns of his defense and reach the man inside?

Reviews

Dark Angel Reviews, Recommended Read, Reviewer Amanda Haffery
"REFLECTIONS OF BEAUTY stole my breath away. ...I really enjoy the fact that each story in these anthologies is different. I get to enjoy all different types of genres from these amazing authors and I get to move with the characters from one world to another. The SECRETS books are some of my favorite collections and these authors and stories are the reason why."

JERR, Reviewer Laura Scott, 5 stars
Having read most of the Secrets anthologies, I had high hopes for this one and was not disappointed. Exotic new worlds, vampires, witches, erotic fairy tales, Regency romps—this book had it all. Each of the stories was well written, varied and kept my interest throughout. The female characters were all intelligent and strong-willed and actively contributed to the resolution of the plots. The male characters were quite different in personalities yet sexy and equally interesting.
