Taking A Chance on Love with JL Regen

Secret Desires by JL Regen (aka Joan Ramirez)

Nothing in Margo Simmons’s life comes easy. She can’t claim the inheritance on a condo apartment her uncle has left to her until she is gainfully employed in a job for a year. She meets the man of her dreams but anguishes over a loving relationship because he is still emotionally tied to his deceased wife. 

With great difficulty, she becomes the guardian to a recently orphaned child she had been tutoring.   Margo evolves from an insecure, newbie elementary teacher into a woman determined to fulfill the secret desires locked in her heart. 

My story speaks to anyone who has suffered a loss and had to start over.

A contemporary romance, Secret Desires, is all about taking a chance on love. Margo and Edward come from two different worlds. When they meet in his office to discuss her inheritance, sparks fly, hearts ignite, and love begins to bloom. However, as the old bards were fond of saying, the course of true love has to withstand many potholes in the road to a loving union. I invite you to read their story.

J.L., I love fictional stories that are based on a true story. When I know that it enriches my reading experience. Are the other fiction books you have in the pipeline also based on true stories?

"Secret Desires", sounds like a really good story. I am intrigued with the heroine adopting the young girl. Is that part also based on a true event?

Congratulations on the release.

I also love stories that are inspired by real life. I'd love to hear what the real-life story is that inspired this one. Was it one from your family or something you read in a historical account?

Your upcoming books on WWII should be quite popular. There is still a strong market for those stories because many people alive today can remember their parents or grandparents talking about those days, and there have been many movies and TV series that also take place during those years.
