I'm so excited to announce the release of my "relationship" novel, Betrayed. This story is inspired by my sister's real-life experience with computer dating, and delivers a message everyone should read. The explanation at the end of the book will explain away any doubts you might have and help you understand the writing perspective. Please, please excuse any typos you might find since in the midst of completing this book, my computer crashed, I finished the manuscript on text edit, then transferred to Word Perfect and transmitted as a Word document. The book was previously published under a different title, but didn't receive the notoriety it deserves. Books We Love has given me a chance to revamp the story and offer it with a new title, new name, and correct genre promotion. I'd like you to meet my heroine, and the best way to do that is through an interview:
Meet Cassie Fremont...
“Get out there. You promised to do this, remember?” *Ginger pushing Cassie onto the stage*
*Cassie digs in her heels* “Okay, okay, I’m going, but I’d like to remind you that you’ve already put me through hell in that friggin’ book of yours.”
*Cass approaches the microphone and taps it* “Can everyone hear me?” *smiles* “My name is Cassie Fremont and I’m the heroine in Betrayed. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to share with you that Ginger hasn’t already divulged in the story. God knows she told you everything. *rolls eyes* I guess nothing is sacred when it comes to novels.”
*Pulls up nearby stool and inches her butt onto it. Heaves a big sigh, and runs her hands along her slacks while peering into the bright lights over the crowd.* “Well, I promised her I’d make an appearance today, along with everyone else she’s invited, so I’ll get on with it.”
*Shrugs* “I’m a dolt What can I say? I found myself divorced, middle-aged and lonely. I share a home with my mother because I don’t want her to live alone, but she pretty much keeps to her own part of the house. I have a lot of spare time so I entertain myself with the Internet. Don’t we all spend time on the computer? Well, I happened across a dating site one night…big deal I figured it wouldn’t hurt to join and see what happened. I never expected anyone… Okay, that’s a lie. I wouldn’t have joined if I hadn’t hoped someone would notice my post. I just didn’t expect it would turn out like it did.”
*Cassie rises, pulls microphone from stand and walks toward edge of stage.* “I admit I was flattered at all of Evan’s flowery words and his Texas accent, but I have no idea what happened to my common sense. I’m quite sure everyone was stunned that I let a virtual stranger move into my house… and my bed. *gazes down at stage* I guess if you’ve never been afraid of growing old alone, you can’t fathom why I did what I did.”
*Pauses, pinches the bridge of her nose, then peers out at the audience again*
“I should have listened to my sister and brother, but I didn’t. Instead, I flew into a rage and wrote them off. For too long, they weren’t part of my life, but I was so wrapped up in myself and Evan, I didn’t miss them until things got so bad I had no where else to turn.”
*Shakes her head* “Hey, talking about this is depressing the hell out of me. I’ve moved on to newer pastures. If you want to know the whole story, you’ll just have to buy the book. Betrayed…*stares at the ceiling for a moment* "What a dopey name I would have thought an author would pick a title that didn't give away the story"
"*Walks back to stand and replaces microphone* “I can’t say it was a pleasure being here today, because no one likes to admit being an dolt, but it happens. All I can say is if I pull another idiotic stunt, I sincerely hope Ginger will have the courtesy to forgo writing another book about it. I could write a journal about her stupidity, but I haven’t. *looks backstage and flashes a glare, then exits to applause*
***
If you think this is something you might enjoy, you can find the Kindle version, priced right for immediate purchase on my Amazon page. And...to Cassie's chagrin, I have another story in the works...maybe two more.

Betrayed - Coming Soon from Books We Love
This is not your mother's romance...rather it's a book about a relationship. Will it be a success or failure...based on trust or despair? There's a message to be had in reading this novel. Hope you will.

Boxed Set Fun with Jenna Byrnes
I've been noticing the popularity of "Boxed Sets" on Amazon recently, and decided to get in on the action. Jude said "Go for it" and Michelle created a great "boxed set" cover, so I couldn't resist. Now, my best selling gay erotic romantic suspense series is available with one click for a ridiculously low price! I hope lovers of hot m/m romance will check this bargain out.
Darkness on the Edge of Town
The Best Selling Series is now available in one specially priced boxed set!
Dancing in the Dark
Detective
Nick D'Amato has always been content with his lack-of-commitment love
life. For a gay cop in the don't ask-don't tell N.Y.P.D., free and easy
always seemed the least complicated route. William, the new man in his
life, has Nick rethinking his priorities. Both men are stubborn, neither
willing to compromise, until a serial slasher enters their lives. A
growing stack of dead bodies has the police running in circles, sending
Nick and Will into a nightmare that could change their lives forever.
Born To Run
Detective
Sam Nielson has always been a casual, no strings type of guy. He loves
New York City and the diversity of men it offers him. He also loves his
job in South Bronx's forty-first precinct, affectionately nicknamed
'Fort Apache' for its violent history. Sam's caught off guard when
handsome detective Bobby Rodriguez transfers to Fort
Apache. The two are immediately thrown together on a high profile
murder investigation. Their fast brewing passion makes concentrating on
work difficult. But first they have to survive the murderer they're been
tracking, who's now after them.
Hungry Heart
Captain
Gil Gates is a proud member of the N.Y.P.D. and enjoys his position
running a North Bronx precinct. When an incident with grave
repercussions rocks the department and the whole community, Gil’s
otherwise spotless record is suddenly in jeopardy. Brian Knight is
Channel Nine’s star news reporter, following the most exciting story the
Bronx has seen in quite some time. In his line of work as in Gil’s,
being gay no big deal unless someone finds out about it.
Brian offers something the department can’t—something that’s been
missing from Gil’s life for too long. If only he can clear his name, and
solve a double homicide while he’s at it.
(Note: Contains graphic M/M erotic romance and some mild BDSM)

Byrnes builds the suspense in the story masterfully, and by the climax
the tension is so tight that it might just snap. This reader was glued
until the very end, which is most definitely a good thing." ~ Whitney,
Fallen Angel Reviews
"The
talented Jenna Byrnes creates a story of romance and suspense that is
both sensual and realistic. I thoroughly enjoyed this exciting dark
tale." ~ Chocolate Minx, Literary Nymphs Reviews
"The
writing is very good, the plot is interesting and the sex is hot. The
characters feel like real people, and the plot is nicely paced." ~ Ivy,
Manic Readers Reviews
"Jenna
Byrnes gives us a well-crafted tale of friendship, suspense, and
romance for three fortyish policemen. This is a well done, easily read
tale of male bonding." ~ Dee, The Romance Studio
