Celebrating A New Print Release For Samantha Sommersby

Today on our Cyber Launch Party Blog, we're celebrating the print release of Samantha Sommersby's beautiful contemporary romance SHELTER FROM THE STORM.

Samantha lives in San Diego with her husband and fifteen year old son. She is the author of ten novels and novellas including FORBIDDEN: THE TEMPTATION, her latest installment in the critically acclaimed Forbbiden series. To learn all about her Forbidden Series, check out the Bible to her Forbidden World.
In 2007, Samantha left what she used to call her "real life" day job as a pyschotherapist to pursue writing and working in the publishing industry full-time. She now happily spends her days immersed in the world of Forbidden, a world where vampires, werewolves, and demons are real, where magic is possible, and where love still conquers all.

SHELTER FROM THE STORM by Samantha Sommersby

Not everyone has to go looking for love-for a lucky few, love finds them.

In any other circumstance, Jennifer Jones's first meeting with Maclain Moore would have been called serendipity, a happy coincidence. She's looking for a new roommate; he's looking for a place to live. It doesn't hurt that he's sexy as hell, either.

But the man who crosses her threshold isn't there to sign on the dotted line-he's the bearer of news bad enough to shake the very foundation of her life. A life built around a fierce sense of independence, born of a violent incident from her past.

Mac is no stranger to heartache. His career in social work immerses him in it, plus he has his own share of skeletons rattling around in his closet. His attempts to comfort Jennifer bring the two of them closer together. With each touch, she becomes harder to resist. Mac's body's response would try the patience of a saint. And a saint he's not.

Baring her soul isn't high on her list, but she finds herself opening up to Mac in ways that make it hard to hold him at arm's length. And as her life spins out of control, their growing passion becomes the only tangible thing she can cling to...

This book has been previously published and has been revised and expanded from its original release. Warning: This book may spoil you for real relationships. It contains a beautiful woman with a dark and dangerous past, sensational sailboat sex and a leather-wearing, motorcycle-riding man who loves kids, knows how to cook and actually listens.

  1. Good morning Samantha and happy release day!!!

    This book is a little different for you as there are no paranormal creatures luring about. Do you find it helps keep you fresh as a writer by moving from contemporary to paranormal and back?

    Tell us a bit about the new book and what you've been working on and what's up next for you.

    Hope the new book is a big seller for you - it sounds like a fantastic love story.

    Enjoy your special day!

  2. This sounds like an amazing story! What made you decide to change careers like you did? Do feel that you can help more people as a writer than a therapist?
    Congrats on your new release!

  12. Wow, Samantha! This new story sounds like a heartwrenching one :) Is it completely stand-alone? As for the series, did you start out thinking it would be a series? Or did it grab onto you and not let go after? :)

    If so fortunate, I'd love Under Fire.
