A flash of attraction, the potential for more.

Best-selling author Libby Kay’s sweet fireman romance Flash Point is a playboy redemption story perfect for fans of B.K. Borison’s Lovelight series.

Javier “Javi” Ortiz never has trouble finding a date. The confident fireman enjoys the perks of no-strings hook-ups and his bachelor lifestyle. Yet when a certain blonde moves to Pinegrove, the idea of casual dating fizzles out. Javi is finally ready to settle down, but will he be able to charm his way into her life? Or will his reputation ruin his chance at real love?

Lola Peabody has given up on love. She doesn’t have time for men and their empty promises, especially with her hands full being a single mom and running her own photography business. Her plans do not include finding a man, even a charismatic fireman who treats her and her daughter like queens.

But Pinegrove is a small town, and the pair can’t stay away from each other. From photoshoots and romance book club to quiet walks in the woods, Lola and Javi spend more and more time together.

Could this be happily ever after? Or will their romance burn out faster than a five-alarm fire?

EXCERPT:
​Javi blurted, “You’re beautiful, and I’m sorry that asshole didn’t let you know that.” Javi tugged her closer still, resting his head on top of hers. She heard the consistent beating of his heart and relaxed into his grasp. “Beautiful isn’t the right word,” he added, his words rumbling through her. “You’re vibrant, Lo. You have this natural light that follows you everywhere. Your smile transforms you to goddess levels, you have no idea.”

Lola nuzzled his chest, his words bringing tears to her eyes. No man had ever said anything so nice, so thoughtful. “Javi,” she mumbled. “You haven’t seen what’s going on under here.” She wiggled her hips, causing the skirt of her dress to flutter around her legs.

“Lo, baby.” His warning was a growl; her very own Smokey the Bear. “Please be careful with those hips.”

Achingly slow, Javi’s hands glided down her back, moving until they slid over her waist. His fingers dug into her flesh, and she whimpered at the contact. 

“I have stretch marks,” she announced, rolling her eyes at her lack of tact.
​
Javi’s hands swept up her torso until they cupped her breasts. “Considering your body created another life.” He paused to lick her earlobe. “I consider that a badge of honor. Anything that comes from giving the world Katie deserves to be worshipped and celebrated.” He sucked the tender skin below her ear and whispered, “I’m more than happy to show you what your gorgeous body can do.”

Blurb-
Love takes a loner and a grieving mother by surprise

Farm labourer, Bluey (Lachlan Murdoch), has been travelling for twenty years, constantly on the move to forget the death of his baby girl.

Dairy farmer, Helen Wilson, is barely keeping her head above water. Her fifteen-year-old son suicided and her older son flees the area looking for paid work to help keep the farm. When a neighbour gifts her three months of Bluey’s time, it’s a lifeline.

Bluey admires Helen’s fierce defence of her boys. Helen appreciates Bluey’s quiet presence and his daily acts of kindness. When desire enters the mix, Bluey worries he’s taking advantage. Helen feels guilty about forgetting her boys, even for a moment.

Commitment isn’t in Bluey’s playbook. Helen’s struggling to navigate grief. Baring one’s soul, even sharing one’s body, is easier with a deadline.
​
But with the clock ticking down, what risks are they prepared to take with their hearts?
 
Award winning author Jennifer Raines excels at the emotional slow burn love story. The Wrong Time for Love offers second chance, over forties male and female leads, forbidden love, forced proximity, and definitely no strings attached.

About the Author-
Australian Jennifer Raines writes sensuous contemporary romances set mainly, but not exclusively, in Australia – think Malta, Finland, New Zealand or ? A dreamer and an optimist, her stories are a delicious cocktail of passion, mutual respect and loyalty because she still believes in happily-ever-afters.

Jennifer fell in love with romance as a teenager. Starting with historical romance. Everything in the school library and then a personal treasured collection of Georgette Heyer, hard copies and paperbacks. Historical (regency) romance remains her comfort food when the world gets too much. Think Grace Burrowes and others.

Jennifer is a member of Romance Writers of New Zealand. In 2025 Masquerade—Choosing Family Book 1 placed second in the Romance Writers of New Zealand (RWNZ) Koru Awards for Best Long Romance, and third for the Overall Award for Excellence. In 2023 Taylor’s Law --The Anderson Sisters Book 1 placed second in the RWNZ Koru Awards for Best First Book. Jennifer has won the Pacific Hearts competition twice, including in 2019 with Grace Under Fire—The Anderson Sisters Book 2.

Jennifer’s also a member of Romance Writers of Australia. Three times a finalist in the Emerald competition for best unpublished manuscript, including in 2017(Lela’s Choice under its working name Common Cause), 2018 (Taylor’s Law) and 2022 (Quinn, by design). She’s also a member of Romance Writers of America and has been a finalist in multiple chapter competitions. Jennifer values competitions for the constructive, honest, not always comfortable feedback they provide.

Jennifer loves those days when words flow and the joy of writing makes the hard slog worthwhile. She’s always made up stories about strangers in the street, in a café or strolling through an airport terminal; finding inspiration in snippets of conversations, news items and the sheer puzzle of human interactions.

Jennifer lives in inner-city Sydney, Australia, with the requisite number of partners (1) and animals (2). Her desk overlooks a park which nourishes her soul when she raises her head from her keyboard. She gets some of her best ideas walking—anywhere—or while doing physical activity. Yes, Virginia, housework does have a purpose. While Jennifer adores historical romance, she chose to write contemporary because she thought (wrongly) it needed less research while she was holding down a full-time job. Jennifer writes a monthly blog posted on her website at https://jenniferrainesauthor.com or you’ll find her at https://www.facebook.com/jenniferrainesauthor or https://www.instagram.com/romanceauthorjen/
