Eternally Single, Rosa Álvarez
Eternally Single, Rosa Álvarez brings to you all the beloved tropes of the hottest romance novels: The Spanish Love Deception, The Kiss Quotient, It Happened One Summer and more!
Debut author Neerja Pawar has infused her novel with all the love, banter and men written by women she wishes to see in the real world…
Rosa Álvarez leads two lives.
One is deceptively normal. A respectable physiotherapist living in Los Angeles: the city of fish tacos and famous bigwigs. She works hard at her job, loves living the single life, and has a trip home to Mexico at the very top of her priority list.
The other is her mother’s worst nightmare.
For one, the first is a lie. She does love her job, but its uniqueness would put any good chick flick to shame. She hasn’t been on a date in five years, at least, not any good ones. And she will do anything to avoid a trip to her sleepy hometown.
But when a notorious man from her past shows up in LA, Rosa’s secret life starts unravelling. There’s also the matter of the really annoying actor (who just so happens to be annoyingly good-looking) she keeps bumping into whom she cannot seem to shake off.
As her lies pile up, will Rosa be able to keep her two worlds separate? Or will her mother’s flying chancla find her first?

Dark Devotion
What exactly is passion?
Is it the upholding of morals? The intensity of joy, of love, of rage? Is it resentment or wrath? Or is it more quietly subtle?
A garden is a passion, a patriot is a passion, so too is a person who is deeply frustrated, sees the light and follows the passion. Or maybe it’s just a principle in your mind.
It may mean different things to different readers…however, I liken it to the Excalibur of a knight. Truth and honour are my take of it. But that is just today. Tomorrow it may mean something entirely different.
Perhaps…
