Their girl slowly came to her senses when the bed dipped and Kent returned to them. Her lips turned up in a smirk. Brooke lazily leaned her head on Travis’s heaving chest, while reaching her arm out to stroke Kent’s torso. Each of her men had an arm around her and, as usual, they linked their fingers over the hand in her cast. She sighed softly. For the first time in her life, she felt truly happy. Truly loved. Truly safe.
~ About the Author ~
As a youngster, Bella Settarra used to dream of becoming an author, and wrote many stories, poems and letters. While in Infant School she used to have to cut pictures of people out of magazines and catalogues, stick them to a sheet of A3 paper and then write a story about them. Although the pictures usually took up more than 75% of the sheet of paper, leaving the remainder for the story, Bella could never fit the story in. Consequently, she used to cut he pictures shorter in order to allow herself more room to write. What started as a picture of a whole person would invariably end up as a disembodied head just so she could write the story she wanted to write beneath it.
While in Junior School the class were once asked to write a story which was to be stuck to the windows as they were taught in a prefabricated building (remember portakabins?) so wall space was very limited. While everyone else wrote one or two pages of fiction, Bella’s story grew and grew until it filled three whole windows, causing a blackout in the tiny classroom!
As she grew up she wasn’t able to write so much, as exams, work and family overtook hobbies such as writing, so it looked as though the stories were to become a thing of the past. That was until she was very ill in March 2013, while undergoing surgery related to cancer. While lying in a hospital bed contemplating her life, she realized that her biggest regret was never fulfilling her dream of becoming a published author. Determined to succeed and make her family – as well as herself – proud, she resolved to write a publishable book within the next twelve months.
In November 2013 her first novel, Last of the Sirens, was published, and went on to become the first of a six-part serial.
Just a month later, fate dealt her another bad hand when she was forced to leave her day job as she could no longer cope with the ever-increasing hours she was expected to work while struggling with ill health. Writing became her life-line, turning a pleasurable hobby into a fulfilling career.
Now able to once-again enjoy life, she finds that writing gives her the freedom to work when she is able and rest when she is not. It encourages her dreams and nurtures her ambitions. She also has more time for her family, and for her love of driving in her open-top car, listening to country music.
Bella’s imagination knows no bounds, and she has gone from writing a mythical series, Sirens and Sailors, to writing about cowboys and a current work in progress about a group of restaurant staff. Her novels include MM, MF, MFM and MMF as well as various elements of BDSM, but, most importantly, they are about love.
She hopes that you enjoy reading her stories as much as she enjoys writing them, and loves to hear from her readers via her blog, email or social media.

After growing up on her uncle’s ranch, Carol McCreedy has longed for a place of her own to put down roots, raise a big herd of cattle, maybe a few horses, and make a name for herself. And now, with the ink barely dry on the deed, she’s finally made it happen. But leaving Snowbrook to go off on her own isn’t going to be easy.

Harlan has held his feelings in check for about as long as he can take. And now that the beautiful, headstrong Carol is leaving Snowbrook, it’s time to cowboy up. She deserves more than he can give her—all he has is his horse, and a woman like Carol deserves the moon.
