Ronica Black

Ronica Black spends her free time writing works that move her, with the hope that they will move others as well. She is a firm believer in "that that does not kill you makes you stronger." Each step she takes in life is a journey meant to be experienced. Whether it be a smooth step paved with green grass, or a rocky one marred with boulders. She keeps stepping, keeps writing, and keeps believing that women are far stronger than they think they are. She's an award-winning author with four books currently published by Bold Strokes Books. In Too Deep, Deeper, Wild Abandon, and Hearts Aflame. She also has several short stories published with Bold Strokes Books in Stolen Moments, Lessons in Love and Road Games. She was also published in Ultimate Lesbian Erotica 2005.

The Seeker (December 2009)

The Seeker by Ronica Black

Excerpt

FBI profiler Kennedy Scott battles ghosts from her past, deadly obsession, and the evil that haunts her. The Seeker. 

Famed Hollywood actress Veronica Ryan arrives at a red carpet event with her wife Shawn. They are the world's most famous gay couple—beautiful, wealthy, and by all appearances, the happiest couple in the world. But things aren't always as they appear. And someone is out to dampen the parade. A shot rings out and Veronica finds herself tackled to the ground by security, her wife lying next to her in a pool of blood. 

Kennedy Scott used to be the best behavioral profiler the FBI had, but she is haunted by a string of child murders no one can solve. A single quote—Seek and ye shall find—was all she had to go on. The case has eaten her alive, and after her own family is threatened by an armed intruder, Kennedy retreats to be with them. But one phone call brings her back into the game. Veronica Ryan needs her help and the path may lead to the one who haunts her.

 

Flesh and Bone (May 2009)

Flesh and Bone. What every woman is made of. Beautiful, daring, naughty, sensual. She has a fantasy, she wants to go higher, she searches for her own definition of love. She never says never, has her first orgasm, yearns for the everlasting. This is woman. You, me, the girl next door. We are all flesh and bone.  

An eclectic collection of lesbian erotica, the stories in Flesh and Bone are as individual as every woman. From the sweetest petals of romance to the thorny edges of desire, our stories are as individual as we are. Yet one theme remains constant and keeps us intertwined…we are all Flesh and Bone.

Deeper by Ronica Black

 

 

 

Excerpt

Deeper Happiness. Love. Desire. Murder.

Former homicide detective Erin McKenzie couldn’t be any happier with her new life and her fiancée Elizabeth Adams—until the not so distant past comes knocking at the door. Erin’s former colleague Detective Patricia Henderson—a woman both she and Liz have intimate ties to—shows up with a fresh crime scene photo that looks all too familiar. The victim is an actor who works for Liz’s movie production company, and Liz had argued with the young man on more than one occasion.  

Erin can’t believe it’s happening again. The new murder resurrects old questions, and when Liz all but sends her packing, Erin can’t help but wonder what her lover is hiding. Lost, alone and frightened, Erin is  once again caught in midst of it all, and no matter how hard she fights it, she’s where she never thought she’d be…deeper. Sequel to In Too Deep.

Hearts Aflame

 

 

 

Excerpt

Hearts Aflame Sometimes the key to love is not in the destination, but in the journey.

Real-estate guru Krista Wyler is soon at the mercy of more than just the Arizona desert when she learns she has inherited her family’s business, Wyler Ranch. Her aunt is dying and her uncle is no longer capable of making decisions. Krista reluctantly takes the helm, but only temporarily—she plans to sell the ranch as soon as possible. Rae Jarrett, the alluring vet who has cared for the ranch as well as the horses, objects and offers her aid.

Krista resists the offer of help as well as her attraction to the mysterious vet, but instead decides instead to turn the ranch into a dude ranch. Soon city folk are knocking at the door ready to pay for the privilege of herding the Wyler cattle across Arizona. It seems fail proof winner until Krista herself, along with Rae, has to set out on the trail with her charges.

The journey leads to a life-changing adventure neither woman could have foreseen and will never forget.
