Jennifer Bernard (Juniper Bell's alter ego) has a new Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel novel releasing in December. Desperately Seeking Fireman is number 4.5 in the series.


Fire Captain Jeb Stone and incredibly successful press secretary Nita Moreno have both been burned by love before. That's why neither of them is looking for more than a few steamy nights of passion. When circumstances find them stranded on an island together, babysitting a cross-dressing senator and the very pregnant wife of San Gabriel's most famous captain, they allow the sparks they feel to take center stage. But as their feelings grow, can they each allow the other past the barriers both have built to protect their hearts? - See more at: http://www.avonromance.com/book/jennifer-bernard-desperately-seeking-fireman#sthash.20824eZw.dpuf

And here's a sneak peek at the cover for book #5, Four Weddings and a Fireman, due out in February.
It takes a certain kind of man to stand out among the Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel. Firefighter Derek "Vader" Brown is one of a kind—six feet of solid muscle with the heart of a born hero. It's that protective streak that has him pursuing a promotion to Captain to pay for his mother's home care. And it's why he intends to figure out why his sometime girlfriend Cherie Harper runs hot as hellfire one minute and pushes him away the next. Cherie's got it bad. Vader sweeps her off her feet—literally—and their chemistry is combustible. There's just the little problem of a nightmare from her past she was desperate to escape. And then her sister Trixie arrives, causing havoc for Cherie and the male population of San Gabriel. Cherie doesn't want her past to complicate Vader's life or his career. But there's nothing like a firefighter to break through all your defenses, one smoldering kiss at a time . . . - See more at: http://www.avonromance.com/book/jennifer-bernard-four-weddings-and-a-fireman#sthash.HOaq1NkS.dpuf

RT Book Reviews recently announced the finalists for their Editor's Choice Awards and we're thrilled that Kelly Jamieson's Rule of Three was chosen as one of the nominees for Best Erotic Romance! 

This story had me hooked. I love the way it ended. All of the characters seemed so innocent in the beginning and they all managed to surprise me by the end of the book. I initially thought this was just going to be kinky erotica but there's actually conflict and a story in there. -- Jasmine Harvin
