Cover Reveal - Summer Hearts Anthology

With summer taking over the Northern Hemisphere, many people are flocking to the beaches, browning their skin, soaking up rays and taking out their strappy tops and shorts. What better added joy than to have a romantic book to read while relaxing in the sun?

I joined a group of US writers who wanted to publish an anthology of summer stories. I feel so privileged to be accepted into this group even though I live across the world. Anyway, our book is coming out on the 20 May! We have a cover and it's available for pre-order. Isn't it stunning?
