I love this story! Short and unique.. its a story of how in life revenge is a dish best served..but beware where you serve it.. it might hit you in the face!! Due to an affair between a sister and her sister husband, the story evolves years later on how selfishness and blindness could hurt so many people and still leave scars unchecked. Ethan in trying to get back at his wife ...fell in love with the instrument of his revenge..who happened to the product of a long illicit affair between the man she called uncle and her mother...its a lovely story... one you can sit and read earnestly until the end without thought for food or work till its all over!

 

I loved and appreciated that this book was free. I have followed this author since discovering her in 02 and I must say her writing gets better and better like wine. Keep what you are doing Ms Hubbard because it works, you don't hold any punches down but are not afraid to go there. I have bought and read some of your stories for free, you are talented and well done with this story. It was a pleasure reading it.

Life has never been worth living for Charisse before her father died. After three attempts to kill herself were unsuccessful, she makes a deal for release from hell on earth, with one of the people who made her life what it was.

It wasn't until Chyna finds out that her husband, Parker Mills, was having an affair with her twin sister, Cheyenne, that she realizes she's losing the best thing she's ever had. Feeling the ultimate betrayal by her own sibling, Chyna knows she has to do whatever it takes to keep her husband and give him what he longs for - a baby. Knowing that she's unable to have children and Cheyenne is afflicted with the same condition, she decides to go to the only person that can help her save her marriage - her younger sister, Charisse.

In the end, one sister will die, another will lose everything and one will get everything that she wants.

Emperor's Addiction Update 9/15/08

Good Afternoon,

I've been trying to post this all morning for my early readers who are eagerly waiting for the rest of the story.

Me too.

It's been a fight but this is a Monday and you know whether I'm writing or not, they are always busy.

_________________-

I've been here and typing away every second of every day on Emperor's Heart ... Until last thursday.
I misplaced the flash drive i was carrying the story around with.
Literally it was gone. I Searched high and low and when i awoke this morning, i resolved that it was lost. Gone and I'd have to re-create everything I had done since I last posted all over again.
That is one of an author's worst nightmare because it was so good the first time, the second time won't be as well done.
Anyhoo, I was digging for change for the bus, because my silly butt threw away my bus card by mistake on Friday forgetting it expired on the 15th not the 14th. Not looking as my fingers busily dug for change, I felt a small rectangular item in my hand, but I assumed it was the gum I had bought Friday, but never opened. Since I forgot to brush my teeth this morning, I pulled my hand out to get a piece.
Low and behold there it was. All purple and white reading 4g USB in silver/brown letters. My heart swooned and I'm positive I kissed and hugged it like a cute furry feret.
So now I'm back in business.
Now I had been typing it up on my phone since Thursday and Im emailing my phone to my personal email right now to cut and paste what i've been doing.
I'm still on the family history of the Hearts and about to go into the whys as to the detail hatred between Lethal and King. I'm also going to touch on King's sexually as I set up him for King's Paradise - the next book in the series.
I see some of you have picked up on following this blog, but I want to encourage you to also join the wordpress site as well.
Click here to subscribe to that blog.
I'll be using that most of the time to keep up with my literary life and as I lay out the hearts history a lot of things are going to be over there. pLus, I've archieved the free stories in that area as well.
You just gotta go to the main site to figure out the pass words.
LOL...
To be fair to others who are reading Emperor's Heart as we speak, I won't delete it, which I'm prone to do.
Now a favor I ask of you. I'm also preparing to release His Substitute wife as a paperback on amazon, but I need to break it up. It's too durn big.
If you've read the story, where would you make a part one and part two and what could the second book be called?
Someone real kinky guys and if I choose you (your suggestion of where to break it up and what to name it), I'll send you both books paperback.
that's bout it.

The Mystery of Love


Donna Hill (guest blogger)



Since my early days of reading I was a devout mystery reader. I was groomed on Agatha Christie, Eric Lustbader, and the like. Even my years of reading Greek mythology was filled with mystery. So it was inevitable that once the writing bug hit me that I would write my own mystery. It didn’t quite happen that way. I became an accidental romance writer.

I got my first short story published in Black Romance magazine back in 1997. And although it was a relationship story (as it had to be) there was a level of mystery in it as well. The character falls asleep on a bus ride home and her story begins when she gets dropped off on a dark street.

And when I began to get published in novel form my romances always held some level of mystery or suspense. My second novel Indiscretions was a murder mystery, Temptation featured a character that was hiding his true identity, Wicked Ways and Getting Hers is murder and mayhem gone wild, and Guilty Pleasures is all about the con. Those are just a few examples.

Because my reading tastes are entrenched in the mystery and suspense genre I love to throw a curve ball into my romances and it gives (to me) another level to the romance and a challenge for the couples. And in the reverse, my mainstream fiction always has the challenge of a relationship beneath it and that comes from my years of romance writing and the demands of writing a romance which insists that relationships are developed.

I think it’s a great marriage and I hope that my readers do as well!

Donna
