Unmasking Charlotte

Publisher Marketing: They say that once you go black, you never go back. I am not completely sure who "they" are, but they obviously never met me. I guess that maybe I am an exception to the rule. I went black, and then I went back. Maybe that sounds cynical. Maybe that sounds flippant. Maybe that even sounds racist. But I am none of those things. I am just a realist, who through an unfortunate turn of events, learned the hard way that everything is in fact black or white. At least for me it is, and always will be. But then there is Calvin King. The thorn in my side, the pain in my ass. He is what some would call the perfect man - an imposing businessman, an even more impressive ladies' man. Every man wants to be him and every woman just wants him. At least that is what I hear. I'm not admitting to anything beyond that. What I do know and will concede to, is that my resolve is tested as soon as I meet Calvin. He ticks every box off my checklist - sexy as sin, tall, dark, rich, intelligent, funny, and... Black. My body craves just the thought of him. How can I possibly keep him at arm's length when he is the only man I want and desire? And it doesn't help that he kisses like a god and sets my body on fire. Crap! Don't ask me how I know that, he doesn't play fair. Most importantly, I can't let him unmask me, it's my only defense. Like I told you before, I already went black, and I am so not going back. Unmasking Charlotte is book 2 of the Taboo Love series and picks up where Hey There, Delilah left off. For this taboo, we tackle interracial relationships. As with Hey There, Delilah, it is a standalone - so don't worry if you haven't read Hey There, Delilah, yet - with a HEA. That means no cliffhanger! Oh, and expect to see some of your favorite characters. Contributor Bio:  Large, Andria My name is Andria Large. I'm 29, and a stay at home mother, with two little girls. I LOVE to read, mostly Romance. Reading and writing are my ways of getting away from being a mom and wife -- just for a little while. I have been writing for years, but more as a hobby. I would just get an idea for a story line and have to write it down. I never successfully finished a story until I wrote, "Henry." In fact, no one had ever seen any of my writing. I had no idea if it was any good, and I was scared to death to show it to anyone. What if they told me that it sucked? I built up the courage when I found out that my friend, Jessica Carroll, was starting a blog. She wanted new writers to send her their books, so she could review and post them on her blog. Well, curiosity got the better of me, and I had to know what someone else thought of my writing. So that's how I got started on this awesome adventure. I'm a huge fan of J. R. Ward and Abigail Roux. For those who don't know Abigail Roux, she writes M/M romances, and is the author of the "Cut & Run" series. If you don't mind reading about two guys together, then you MUST read this series. It's incredible. Her writing pulls you in, and you can't help but get immersed in the character's world. I love the way these two authors write, and they have definitely influenced how I write. I want to say that they 'keep it real, ' I guess. Their characters speak in such a way that I can see myself talking or saying the same things. I think that's what I love most about them. Also, J. R. and Abi are both easy to relate to as a person - going off of interviews and the way they interact with fans - and they make their characters the same way. Writing makes me happy. It gives me an outlet for my constantly active imagination. I'm excited to be able to share it with other people who might enjoy it as much as I do. And if I can make a little extra money on the side, then what the hell? Right?
