â A Problematic Love by Rebecca Rohman Cover Reveal, Excerpt & Giveaway
It’s here…. The cover for A Problematic Love is finally revealed. Below is the official synopsis and an excerpt from the book. Be sure to sign up for the giveaway Below.
â A Problematic Love Synopsis
Eight years after her fiancĂ© was murdered, attorney Megan Kole has fully reconciled two areas of her life: her intelligent and precocious son who never knew his father and the thriving law practice that is her late father’s legacy. The remainder of Megan’s world stalled in a paralyzing grief that she effectively compartmentalized until a transfer to Seattle brings a handsome but deeply mysterious billionaire into her life.
Daemon Ros has been an outcast since the day he was born. His parent’s cold indifference and their lavish but emotionally vacant lifestyle prompted him to assert his financial independence from a young age. Adoration for his ailing brother is the only connection he allows to penetrate the vault he has built around his heart, until a devoted mom and her enchanting son introduce him the true meaning of family bonds.
But a chance legal encounter where Megan acts as mediator in a Ros family business dispute leads to far more than either expected. When a shocking truth leads to a love affair between Megan and Daemon that is forbidden in every conceivable way, the barely-restrained chemistry that scorches between them threatens an injunction on everything and everyone they hold dear. As pasts cross, memories threaten and lies surface in a trial far more deadly than anything inside a courtroom, an arbitration of the heart could prove the only way for them both to make it out alive.
â A Problematic Love Excerpt
Late the next evening, the setting sun fills my office with a warm glow. I might appreciate the Puget Sound views from my twenty-sixth floor office if I wasnât in a verbal sparring match on the phone with Daemon Rosâs assistant.
âMr. Kang, this is unacceptable. Your legal department wonât respond to my calls, and now youâre telling me that Mr. Ros has specifically directed you and his staff not to speak to me?â I wait for an answer but he says nothing. âI would have expected more from a man with such stature. Does Mr. Ros always hide behind his employees this way?â
âMs. Kole, I⊠I apologize, but heâs my boss. I have to respect his wishes. I wanted to acknowledge that we received your calls and emails and messages and let you know where things stand.â
I sense Iâve made this man very uncomfortable. Good. Uncomfortable leads to results. âPlease do me a favor and deliver this message to your elusive boss.â
âOkay.â
âVerbatim. Tell him he needs to start growing some testicular fortitude and stop shadowing you and the rest of his employees. At the very least, he could have some class and dignify my clientâs request with a personal response.â
He gasps then another male voice comes across. âMs. Kole, this is Daemon Ros.â
My heart skips a beat at his announcement. His voice is smoky, pleasant on the ears; his tone is firm and strong. He has an indistinct accent, maybe European. Makes me wonder about the man behind the voice.
Iâm surprised to hear him at the end of the line. If I had known insulting his manhood would get a prompt response, I would have done it long ago.
âVulgarity wonât get you what you want,â he continues tersely.
âIâve respectfully tried to reach you through the appropriate lines of communication with no response. I called and sent you repeated emails, left messages at all your contact numbers, and reached out to your legal departmentâall to no avail. I had to take it to the next level.â
âAre you always this persistent?â
âIâm paid to be relentless not to sit on my ass and expect things to happen. I make things happen.â
âItâs obvious that you are completely oblivious to the kind of man my father really is,â he says, his voice completely void of emotion. âSure you want to be making things happen for him?â
âYour father prefers to settle this matter out of court.â
âIs that what he told you?â he chuckles, his words stained with more than a hint of sarcasm. âWell, I hate to be the one to tell you this Ms. Kole, but thatâs the only way he will get me to turn over any shares of this company to him. Looks like youâll be busy. Start the paperwork.â
âYou donât mince words, Mr. Ros.â
âAnd I didnât mince words with my fatherâs legal department the last time I spoke to them,â he replies coolly. âHe wanted his shares back, and I said I wouldnât sell.â
âYour father was adamant about settling this amicably.â I lie. âCan we meet and discuss this, with your father and your legal counsel present? Perhaps over lunch? My treat.â I aim for charming. I hope I donât sound like Iâm begging.
âMs. Kââ
âMr. Ros. Anywhere. Name the place and time, and weâll be there. It would be so much better if we could all sit and talk and come to some sort of agreement about this. Think of all the time and money saved if we avoid court.â
âHe can take me to court if he wants,â he says vehemently. âHe has no legal grounds. I obtained those shares legally.â
âMr. Ros, youâve never shown any interest in running this company with your father, yet you now have controlling interest. I sense there is more to this. Why are you doing this? What exactly is it that you want?â
Silence fills the line. Iâm not sure if itâs because I touched a nerve or because heâs thinking. I lower my voice. âPlease. Letâs talk. I know your time is valuable, and youâd prefer to spend your days running your business and enjoying your family instead of rounding up witnesses, meeting lawyers and all the other complications and delays that happens with the courts. Reaching an agreement is less stressful on all parties involved.â
âLet me think about it. In a few days, someone will contact you with my decision.â
Yes! I hope that decision is to meet, because if itâs not, I have no idea how I can legally get my client those shares back. Might this be the first case I lose?

â Rebecca Rohman Box Set: Love M.D., Love, Lies & The D.A. And Uncorked
Lose yourself within the pages of Rebecca Rohmanâs Box Set Collection featuring her three novels Love, Lies & The D.A., Love M.D. & Uncorked.
All three full length novels are standalones. However, because Love, Lies & The D.A. and Love M.D. share some of the same characters they can be read together. If youâd like the read them in order, Love, Lies & The D.A. was released first.
Expect loads of suspense and steamy love scenes. Individual synopses for each book follows.
â Love M.D.
As an accomplished interior designer in San Franciscoâs Bay Area, ZoĂ« Jenkins is used to transforming empty spaces into masterpieces. She leaves little square footage in her personal life for anything outside of her thriving business and a renewed relationship with her twin brother. After a decade spent ripped apart by circumstance and an entire oceanâs distance, she depends on no one but him. Until a sexy surgeon walks into her life.
Although ZoĂ« canât deny her attraction to the charming and benevolent Morgan Drake, heâs on her mental list of everything she should avoid. Past experience taught ZoĂ« that dating clients compromises business. Add a not-yet-dissolved marriage to the mix and Doctor Hottie is definitely Doctor Off-limits.
Dr. Morgan Drake is surprised at the undeniable chemistry he feels when heâs in the same room as ZoĂ«. The strikingly beautiful and solitary designer he hired to fill his new-start, new-city home makes it abundantly clear there will never be anything between them. But twelve years of medical school breeds persistence. He sets out to persuade the pants off ZoĂ« Jenkins and show her what her empty spaces are missing.
Intense passion and amazing sex have a way of masking secrets-secrets that unravel a dangerous web of fraud, corruption and conspiracy that turn ZoĂ«âs quiet spaces into a world where nothing is as it seems. With her life on the line, the good doctor responsible for her fiercest betrayal might just be the only one worthy of her finest interior masterpiece-this time, of her heart.
â Love, Lies & The D.A.
Jada McLean is about to get married in nine days, when she walks in on her fiancé in a little
more than a compromising position. Days later, sheâs on a trip that she intends to be relaxing and a prelude to her fresh start, when she runs into the rude, obnoxious, but gorgeous Jonathan Kole.
Jonathan Kole is San Franciscoâs newest District Attorney. When he finds himself deeply attracted to a stunning beauty, he has no idea that sheâs about to get into BIG trouble with the lawâand heâll be the one presiding over her trial. To make matters worse, his father is the lawyer representing her in the high-profile case.
When a series of events force them together over New Yearâs weekend, Jonathanâs feelings and ethics will come into question, while Jada comes to terms with the fact that she is falling for the man that will be responsible for attempting to put her behind bars⊠Little do they know, they’re both about to fall into a whirlwind so deep, it will send both their lives spiraling out of control.
â Uncorked
A Contemporary Romance with Elements of Suspense
Chella Noonâs life isnât her own. Her success as a Marketing Executive in the cosmetic division of an international conglomerate is overshadowed by a series of tragic events from a decade ago. With no family, few trusted friends and years spent on the run, she opens herself up to the possibility of a future with a sexy new real estate investor despite escalating threats from a psychotic ex determined to torment her.
Mitch Mariani never met a deal he couldnât close. So when Chella walks into his life, he will stop at nothing to prove he is worthy of her trust. But as Chellaâs past catches up to them and danger exposes his well-guarded secrets, his heart may not be the only thing at risk of a tragic end.

Zach barges through my office door.
âSleeping in? Looks like someone had a late night.â
âGood morning to you, too, Zach. As usual, so nice of you to knock.â
âDid someone get some action last night? I called you before midnight and no answer. That must have been some consult.â
âShut up,â I laugh. âMind your own business.â
âYou are my business. Tell me about him.â
âThereâs nothing to tell. Heâs a doctor who just moved here from Seattle.â
âYou like him.â
âNo, I donât like him,â I lie. âHeâs married, and heâs a client. After Todd almost ruined this company we worked so hard to put together, Iâd be an idiot to get involved with another client again.â
âTodd was an asshole. Weâre going to interact with many people in our line of work. Donât pass up an opportunity you might get to meet someone just because he might be a colleague. Not everyone is like Todd.â
âItâs a matter of principle, Zach. Clients are hands off. Need I remind you what Todd cost this business? I will never put you, this business or myself in that position ever again. I donât mix business with pleasure and thatâs final. I wonât even entertain the thought.â
âWhat if your true love or soul mate happens to be a client?â
âTrue love or soul mate? What the hell has gotten into you? Are you seeing someone? And I donât mean the little trollops that come over for a weekend fling. Of late, you seem to be taking a keen interest in my love life.â
âMaybe,â he smiles, looking down, almost refusing to meet my gaze.
âCome onâŠwho is she?â
He hesitates. âYou donât really know her.â
âDonât really know her⊠Youâre in love with her, arenât you? Thatâs why youâve been pushing me to meet someone.â
âThatâs true.â
âWhy didnât you tell me about this before?â
âI wasnât sure youâd approve.â
âWho is this person? And why wouldnât I approve?â
He pauses for a moment. âSheâs⊠a little younger.â
âDefine a little younger.â
âNine years a-little-younger.â
âDoes she love you?â
âShe says she does.â
âWell, thatâs all I care about. When do I meet her? And who is she?â
âMegan Kole.â
âAs in Jonathan Koleâs sister? The lawyer?â
âThatâs the one.â -

â Love M.D. Excerpt â
Morgan laughs and swims towards me. âYouâre not too mad at me are you, baby?â he asks with that stupid boyish grin of his. I hate to admit it, but I absolutely love the sexy way baby just rolls off his lips.
âI suppose⊠maybe just a little.â
âGood, because Iâd hate this little incident to stop you from going out with me again.â
âWell if youâre trying to make an impression on a woman, I would advise you not to pursue this course of action in the future.â
âNot any woman-you,â he says, circling me in his arms.
I wrap my arms around his neck. âYouâre trying to sweep me off my feet?â
He chuckles. âI hate to break it to you, but I think I just did.â
He leans forward, kissing me lightly on my neck then cheek and finally my lips. Returning his deep kiss, I taste him. A hint of citrus from the Chablis we enjoyed lingers behind.
He caresses my form, and raises my dress to my hip, enabling me to wrap my legs around his hard, rugged body. Iâve been so eager to be touched by him. And as our tongues are in this rapturous dance, the feel of his hands skimming over my breasts, then my hips and down to my ass leave me wanting more. -

Breast Cancer Awareness Month – My Thoughts & Giveaway
It started with one pink watchâŠ
In June of this year, I was fortunate to be invited to participate in the Authors and More Against Cancer Auction Event on Facebook. A number of authors contributed any and everything to this event: books, eBooks, I think I even remember seeing a beautiful chopping board. I contributed my books and a pair of garnet earrings.
At the time, I thought I was just contributing to a good cause. I remember saying to my husband that all it takes to make a difference is for one person to care. I know a long list of people who have battled or died from cancer including my Dadâwho had colon cancer, my Granddad and Auntâs husband, both who had prostate and my Grand mom who died of thyroid cancer not forgetting a long list of close family friends.
In preparation for this event, as the time drew near, I went in search of the earrings I knew I had somewhere (I always put things in a safe place, then I can never remember where the safe place is). I came across a box and was so thankful that I found it, but instead, what I found was a pink watch Iâd purchased, but never used. I was annoyed with myself for a minute because despite the fact that this event wasnât specific to breast cancer, I thought the pink watch would bring awareness to the breast cancer cause and that is where this idea started to germinate.
In the end, the Authors and More Against Cancer Author Event was a huge success but I knew, come October 2014 I had to do my part, and it all started with one pink watchâŠ
In August, I started thinking about how I could make this special and hopefully create awareness and make a difference in at least one personâs life. Obviously, I hope for more, but if one woman or man detects cancer early because of something I posted on my page during the month of October it will be worth it.
So⊠in honor of breast cancer awareness month, I hope you will join me in any or all of the list of activities I have planned for the month of October. Even if your way of participating is by doing a breast self-exam, or getting a mammogram or sharing this post I hope to at least make some sort of a difference in someoneâs life.
For the month of October, I will be celebrating the lives of 31 Women And Men Who Rock. Meet 31 BRAVE women and men who battled breast cancer and lost, or those who won and kicked it in the ass… Either way, in my eyes they ROCK! Read their stories, either from their perspective, or the families they left behind or those that lived to share their stories with us. Some are everyday people you won’t know, others you will recognize; Iâve learned that breast cancer touches women and men from all walks of life, with no regard for age, race, gender, social status or bank account. It touches everyone, some more than others but I hope by reading their stories we can all learn something from these brave men and women who battled the disease.
During the month of October, you can also expect a tip of the day. They will either be from resources I found online, or tips from women who lived through breast cancer and might see things from a different perspective⊠things that might help someone living with the disease.
Also, I currently have a grand Rafflecopter Giveaway including paperbacks of my books, e-copies of my Special Edition Box Set, all things pink swag and not forgetting the famous pink watch, I hope you will sign up.
I also have for sale only on Amazon a Special Breast Cancer Awareness Edition of my box set. I will be contributing a percentage of the sales to the American Cancer Society.
In the last 3 months, Iâve spoken to some women, men and the families and friends who have had to battle breast cancer and Iâve learned so much. Before I started this journey, I did not know that MEN TOO can get breast cancer. Before I started this journey, I did not know that there are certain types of breast cancer that can affect us all and there is NO LUMP.
On this journey, Iâve met some amazingly brave women who have battled the disease, and won the fight. Iâve met some who have the disease, and continue to fight, either from the disease itself, or from complications that arise because of the initial treatment. And unfortunately, Iâve spoken to some of the family and friends who had battled the disease and did not live to tell us their story themselves. Breast cancer has the potential to affect all of us. Get checked out, get a mammogram, share info about the disease with your family and friends. And wives and girlfriends, speak to your husbands and your boyfriends. For me, that was one of the biggest surprisesânot knowing that men got breast cancer too.
I have dedicated a section on my website to this cause, there you will find all the info that I will be sharing for the month of October. I hope you will find it helpful.
Last and by no means least, to all of the people who shared their stories, I sincerely would like to thank you for sharing. I realize that this is a very personal matter that can sometimes be very difficult to talk about but hopefully your stories will make a difference in the life of someone out there. The best of luck to you all. In my eyesâYOU ROCK!
