My couch and laptop.

Featured Book: Emma Grace: Dante’s Obsession
Emma Grace has spent most of her life being abused by her stepfather, Frank, who treated her as if she was nothing more than an object to be used by men.
When she meets Dante, a smooth, handsome Italian, everything changes. Dante is everything a girl could hope for – rich, handsome, sweet and attentive. Eventually, Dante breaks down her walls and sweeps her off her feet, but just when she is beginning to trust, she discovers a deep dark secret that would change how she sees the only man who has ever cared for her.
Caught between her love for him and fear of his lifestyle, Emma Grace is forced to choose. Can Emma Grace overcome her fears and find love with Dante? Or is she doomed to spend her life alone and afraid?
Why would you like to feature this book?
This book is my favorite and I am currently working on a sequel. I'm also currently doing a book tour for this title.
What was the spark that started this book? I read an online book that was a mafia romance. Although the writing was not the best, the story-line intrigued me and started me thinking. Thus Emma Grave was born.
I loved reading this book! I had a hard time putting it down, and I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. I could totally see this story becoming a movie on Lifetime or Hallmark! It was so sweet to see how the characters changed over time: Emma Grace learning how to trust again, and Dante learning how to stand up and do what's right for the woman he loves. I really hope there will be a sequel for this one!
What was the most interesting random fact you researched for this book? The Mafia code of honor
