NEW RELEASE: More Than Words (Pink Bean 9)

by Leave a Comment

More Than Words (Pink Bean 9)More Than Words (Pink Bean 9) is OUT NOW!

When Pink Bean 8 came out, I assumed Pink Bean 9 would be the last book in the series.

I can now assure you that it’s not!

I’ve planned up to 12 books and, who knows, maybe the series will just keep on going forever? 😉

This book is all about Katherine, who we first met in Pink Bean 7.

But as always with Pink Bean books, it’s standalone and you don’t need to have read the other books to enjoy this one.

Here’s the blurb:

Building walls around your heart is easier than breaking them down

Katherine Jones has said goodbye to her job as a luxury lesbian escort to embark on a new adventure. She’s opening a new Pink Bean coffee shop with her best friend Rocco.

To renovate the space for their new venture they’ve hired Rocco’s aunt, Hera Walker. It’s Hera’s first job since the sudden death of her long-term partner and she’s finding it hard to reconnect with her old life. The fact that her first new client is a former call girl doesn’t help.

Can Hera overcome her prejudices and see Katherine for the person she truly is? And will Katherine be able to break down the wall Hera has built around herself?

Find out in this long-awaited new instalment of Harper Bliss’s thought-provoking Pink Bean series!

NEW RELEASE: In the Arms of a Woman

by Leave a Comment

In the Arms of a WomanAfter the sweet romance outing I went on with my Mrs, I thought it was time to ramp the hotness All The Way Up again. And I don’t think I can go much higher on the hot-o-meter than in the stories in this collection. Or, to put it in the words of a member of my Launch Team: “Hold on to your panties, girls – this is pure knicker-ripping lust.” 😉

You can get In the Arms of a Woman here:
Direct from me

Apple
Kobo

Here’s the blurb:
Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss has collected all the short stories she has penned over the years. You can find all twenty-eight of them in this sizzling hot collection.

You will encounter women of all ages, from all over the world, and practicing a myriad of professions—ranging from police officers to rock band singers and from therapists to personal trainers.

Just one piece of advice: do not read in public!

You can see a full list of all the stories (with links to the full version of a few of them) here >>

Please note that all these stories have been previously published in various anthologies, on my website, or as single ebooks.

In the introduction, I’ve written the following:
“I started out in erotica so, do be warned, all of these stories are much more than just romantic. Some aren’t even romantic at all but, overall, even in these short tales, my undeniable romantic streak was already coming through.”

In other words: If you only know me through my latest books, you’re in for a bit of a shock… 😉 90% of these stories are pure erotica with only a hint of romance (do be warned!)

Enjoy!

Old traumas come back to haunt yoga teacher Louise when the Pink Bean hires a new manager. Water Under Bridges explores the themes of change and forgiveness, and whether people can ever truly move on from a dark past.

by 1 Comment

A Swing at Love (A Sweet Lesbian Romance) is OUT NOW!

Here’s the blurb:

On the fairway of life, love comes when you least expect it

Diane Thompson is happy enough. Her successful accounting firm allows her plenty of time to play all the golf she wants and enjoy her life in small Sussex village Tynebury. She’s finally over the divorce from her husband, but potential suitors are few and far between for a fifty-something woman in the English countryside.

Tamsin Foxley is determined to keep matters of the heart separated from her new teaching job at the Royal Tynebury Golf Club after a disastrous romantic experience put an end to her previous employment. She has also vowed to no longer fall for women almost half her age.

When the new season starts at the golf club, Diane and Tamsin become fast friends. Their feelings for each other quickly go in an unexpected direction and they both have to reevaluate what it is they want from life.

Can Diane overcome her fear of falling for a woman? And can Tamsin accept her taste in women may have changed?

Find out in this sweet romance by best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss and her wife Caroline in her debut effort.

I do have a few things to say about this book as it’s unusual in 2 very distinct ways!

1. Hands up if you’d never thought you’d see the words ‘sweet romance’ on a Harper Bliss book?

I’m rather, um, known for my spicy scenes and… this book has ZERO.

I know, not selling things very well quite yet. 😉 For the first time in my life, I’ve had to write a ‘preface’ for a book in which I manage expectations. Gasp!

But, it’s true.

This is a ‘Harper & Caroline Bliss book’, not just one of mine, and after very looooong(-winded) deliberations we decided not to include any sex scenes and make it a true ‘sweet’ romance.

If you read my books solely for ‘those scenes’, you may want to skip this one and wait until regular naughty programming resumes…

BUT, this book has plenty of other things to offer, such as:
– loads of chemistry between the main characters
– a cozy English village setting
– an adorable dog (ha, not a long-haired tortie cat, for once!)
– a mild sprinkling of golf-related terms
– a sunny trip to Portugal
– and plenty of juicy golf club gossip…

I think it makes for a great beach read which, for once, won’t make you squirm in the sand uncomfortably! 😉

2. This is the first book my Mrs and I co-wrote and… most likely the last

It’s quite exclusive in that way… 😉

I love my Mrs to bits and we collaborate on books All The Time, but writing a first draft together was one step of lesbian merging too far for us.

We all know I’m a delicate little flower and sharing my inner-most writing thoughts in such great detail was one too many boundary crushed for me.

(Sometimes, we even argued over who was most long-winded of the two… which was quite disconcerting to me because she’s usually the one to cut half of my long-windedness from a first draft!)

That being said, I think Caroline did a WONDERFUL job. It’s not easy managing a fragile writer ego as part of your day job AND having to co-write a first draft yourself.

Anyway, we’ve both survived this test of our marriage and I hope you enjoy the fruits of our joint spousal labour.

You can buy the book here:

NEW RELEASE: No Greater Love Than Mine (A Silver Linings Novella)

by Leave a Comment

No Greater Love Than MineNo Greater Love Than Mine: A Silver Linings Novella is OUT NOW!

Here’s the blurb:

Twenty years ago, Angela Hill and Jackie Smith shared a forbidden night of passion, that left Angela heartbroken after Jackie returned to her husband.

When a workplace injury forces Angela into counselling, her path unexpectedly crosses Jackie’s again. Their circumstances may have changed, but has time healed the wounds of the past? And can Angela and Jackie open themselves up to a second chance at love?

Find out in this hot novella full of emotion from best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss.

This new series I dreamed up called Silver Linings came about for several reasons:

1. More mature characters

I have previously summed it up as ‘cougars, cougars, cougars’, but, really, it’s just my love for older characters that has driven me to start this new series.

I have a million notes for subsequent novellas already, and some will be age gap (so not all characters will be 45+, but the majority will be), some will revisit characters from previous books (Sophie and Dolores, anyone?) 😉

I’m getting on a bit as well and I like to see myself represented also…

2. Second Chances (aka Silver Linings)

What’s almost as good as an age gap romance? A second chance romance!

I once wrote a short novelette called I Still Remember about two women who knew each other as teenagers and meet again… and the response to it blew me away. I’m not sure why it has taken me this long to figure out I need to write more of these, but the point is that I have and that I’m on it!

3. I wanted to write some shorter books again

Back in the day (I believe it was the year 2012), I started out writing short stories and ‘novelettes’ and I miss the quick emotional fix I get from that. Writing novels is fun, but also quite challenging at times. (Please don’t ask me how Pink Bean 9 is progressing…)

Once I managed to convince myself it was okay to write some shorter books again, I haven’t looked back. I enjoyed writing this 18k words novella so much, that I can’t wait to start on the next one. (But yeah, Pink Bean 9…) 😉

Please bear in mind that No Greater Love Than Mine is NOT a novel. There’s plenty of drama (and hotness) and it’s very true to my style, but a full-length novel it’s not. It’s very Harper Bliss-y, however, and I dare say that if you’ve enjoyed any of my books, you’ll enjoy this one as well.

It’s available from:
– Amazon US
– Amazon UK
– Amazon CA
– Amazon AUS
– Amazon DE
– Other Amazon Stores

NEW RELEASE: Once Upon a Princess (A Lesbian Royal Romance)

by 2 Comments

Once Upon a PrincessOnce Upon a Princess is OUT NOW!

This is my very first co-written book and Clare and I had a blast writing it. At first, it was a bit nerve-racking, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

Our personalities and writing styles seemed to mix well and I’m so very pleased with the end result.

As you might have guessed, Once Upon a Princess is a lesbian royal romance and it’s a light-hearted, summery and, OF COURSE, very topical read! 😉

Kudos to Clare for thinking of the Royal Wedding so many months ago.

Here’s the blurb:

Can true love be their crowning glory?

Olivia Charlton is a princess who believes in love — not a high priority in a royal family hung up on tradition and duty.

Meanwhile, village sweetheart Rosie Perkins has no time for affairs of the heart — she’s just struggling to keep her cafe and life afloat.

When Olivia heads to Cornwall to escape her royal duties for a few weeks, the two meet and sparks fly. But can a cafe owner and a princess truly end up with their own happily ever after when all the odds are stacked against them?

Best-selling lesbian romance authors Clare Lydon & Harper Bliss have teamed up to bring this modern-day fairy tale to life. Grab your copy of the love story everyone’s talking about!

—

This is my first standalone book in a very long time (In the Distance There Is Light was the last one and that came out in September 2016!)

I hope you like it.

It’s available from:
– Amazon US
– Amazon UK
– Amazon CA
– Amazon AU
– Amazon DE
– Amazon FR

Enjoy!
