Shelley Munro - Romance Author

About Me

I live in New Zealand with my husband and a bossy, wee dog. I love to write and read romance way more than fighting dust bunnies in far-flung corners of the house. Somehow having adventures with aliens, meeting SAS soldiers and chatting with talking dogs is a lot more interesting. I adore traveling and exploring the world and have incorporated some of our adventures into my books. My favorite food is white chocolate with fresh tropical fruit coming a close second.

I write erotic romance (mainly paranormal and contemporary although I dabble in historical) for Ellora's Cave , New Concepts Publishing and Medallion Press .

Visit my website or my blog for excerpts and further details about my books.

Adventure into Romance with Shelley Munro

Coming on Friday 7 March, 2008:


Warning: Condoms were tested and a few harmed during the writing of this story.
It’s not every day a girl inherits a condom company, and to say accountant Alice Beasley is astonished and out of her depth is putting it mildly. For an almost virgin, she needs a quick education in all things condom because her inheritance is in danger. Someone is intent on sabotage and playing nasty, trying to destroy her new company.Alice is suddenly getting down and dirty with charismatic James, the factory manager, all in the name of business, testing new condom designs. The sex is hot. Mind-blowing. It’s a dark thrill and an erotic journey. Yeah, it’s a hard job, but a girl’s got to do what a girl’s gotta do.
The testing turns personal. Alice wants James. She craves his talented touch and sultry kisses, she desires passion and physical pleasure on a permanent basis but first she must convince bad-boy James to give up his fancy-free ways…

PLAYING TO WIN
Professional rugby player, Lane Gerrard is used to women throwing themselves at him, but a scurrilous tabloid article naming him as father of a child sends his temper soaring. The woman he confronts doesn’t fit the blackmailer profile. Kate Alexander is attractive with an enchanting innocence, enticing. A total stranger. Her feistiness draws his unwilling admiration, but the child…he is the image of Lane.
Kate can’t deny her son’s similarity to the sexy man at her door but no way will she hand him over without a fight. Kate doesn’t possess money but she can shower her son with love. With public speculation rife, Kate reluctantly works with Lane to discover the truth. They grow closer as distrust slowly turns to mutual fascination, but the tabloid articles bring out a stalker. Mild pranks escalate into danger, and suddenly Lane realizes Kate is a woman he could love. With Kate and her son, he could have a family. Now, with his heart on the line, this is one game he’s playing to win…
