New WCP release

Fade to Pale by James Cheetham

Some children are forced to grow up quickly, while others aren’t meant to grow up at all. Little Rita existed between these two spectrums, wandering between reality and dreams, suffering and surviving in the Here and There.

Some people go over the edge with courage or blind faith, while others wade along the shoreline contemplating what might lay beyond the falls. Rita found the edge and clenched the rocks. There, she lingered as a child in the cold water while hanging on for dear life. There, with broken fingernails and white, waterlogged skin, she remained until she became an adult. All that she needed by then was a nudge…

Her past haunting her every waking moment, her present confusing her troubled mind, she wonders about the future. Fate awaits, but what if destiny is deceived? The universe changes and lives spin out of control. Rita lives one such life and carries her sins close to her heart. A weed amongst the flowers…

"bold and penetrating...deliciously disturbing...psychologically acute and entertaining, dark and inspiring..."

Reviews are coming in for Something Unexpected

Romance Reviews Today Erotic

Rating Multiple O's

"Things are not what they seem in this steamy and sexy nibble that is sure to please."

Ariel Summer - 3/15/07


Mirag Romance Reviews

Rating: 4 out of 5

"It’s intensely descriptive and Ms. Heart is quite capable of making the reader feel what her heroine is feeling. The fact that this book is also a historical, in a time when these thoughts and desires were even more taboo than they are today, seems to make the story that much more fulfilling."

Jennah

Mrs. Giggles

Rating: 63

"Now, I'm not a BDSM person but the set-up has a delicious tinge of taboo to it, from infidelity to real BDSM (whippings, chains, and true pain/pleasure blurring instead of the watered down "tie-me-up" stuff typical of erotic romances), that I feel myself intrigued."


Two Lips Reviews

Rating: 4 1/2 Kisses

"Something Unexpected truly lives up to its title, as the plot twists will keep the reader guessing and surprised."



Ellis Reviews


4 of 5

"Extremely well written, the dialogue is totally in keeping with the era, which helped to make me feel as though I was right there."

A good review! Yahoo!

Just a quick excerpt from the review:

"Last Chance is one of those stories that stick in the mind... Words put together in such a way that they sing from the page... Susan’s emotions and needs are well crafted..."
