Mya Peters is troubled, broken and she found herself in a place nightmares are made of. What was supposed to be a happy trip to London to visit her brother, turned into a tragedy and she was plunged into a world like no other. Her saviour, confidant and friend Trixie, helped her find her feet after she was disowned by her parents. They had decided that the family tragedy was all her fault, and they left her to live her life alone.
Mya soon decided that she could not longer live the life she was living, enough was enough and she decided to take a hold of her life and better herself.

Joe Green is a handsome, small business owner is trying to rebuild his life after a divorce. His trust in women is on a short fuse, but the fireworks soon start to explode when he runs into Mya on two separate occasions. Two chance encounters and Joe is fascinated by Mya, he needs to know more.

Mya and Joe both have issues, and with Mya’s dark past threatening to collide with her future she is struggling to keep her head above water.

Dark secrets, violent history and a sad tale of betrayal and heartbreak. Do these two sincere and genuine people really stand a chance? Does everyone deserve a second chance? Will mysteries and secrets be revealed? There’s only one way to find out.

*** PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS STORY CONTAINS STRONG SEXUAL SCENES, A LITTLE VIOLENCE AND SUSPENSE ~ SUITABLE FOR READERS OVER THE AGE OF 18 ONLY ***

Trixie has her own story 'Alias' by J A Heron ~ Available now

Some five-star reviews

"I really enjoyed this book. There were a lot of twists and turns. I love that it was based in the UK. I highly recommend this for anyone who is a sucker for a good romance book."

"Lady Living In Bookland rated it 5 of 5 stars
So from the first page you are dragged into Mya Peters hell. What unfolds for her over the coming months and years would leave it's mark on Mya. Despite having little support she has got herself to a place in her life she is proud of, but has this always been the case?

She meets Joe and the pair are obviously besotted. The longing between the pair was incredible and believable however, a family event would drag up someone from Joe's past, but also reveal Mya's past too....I only hoped the pair would be strong enough to cope with this. But time passes until a night out would bring Joe and Mya face-to-face.

With what seems like a cruel turn of events Mya is faced with a situation that would frighten some. But from this her life would move forwards and she would seek some closure, but would this be with Joe by her side or have too many lies been told? Can he trust her again? Would they get the happily ever after they deserved?

Oh it had me hooked from the first page right till the last. An amazing read with an even better story line. I would highly recommend! Go get your copy of this five star read...something in this book for everyone!

About the Author

About the Author I am 40 years old, and currently unemployed due to a disability. About three years ago, I suffered four and a half months in hospital after contracting H1N1 Swine Flu. I thank all my family and friends, for their love and support over this period of time. I am lucky to be alive, as I was in a bad way, but with lots of physiotherapy and hard work, I managed to get back on my feet, although the nerves and muscles in my legs and feet are permanently damaged. I live in Burton on Trent in Staffordshire UK, my home town for the last 40 years. I have a 22 year old daughter, yep, that made me a single mother at an early age. But now she is all grown up, I decided to push my limits as an author (because I have a lot of time on my hands). My favourite past time is reading, and I have read around 150 books in the last year and a half. I have a beagle called Belle, and three cats Truffle, Pixie, and Sookie, they all drive me bonkers but I love them like they are my babies. Feel free to criticise or praise my writing on Goodreads, Facebook and Amazon. I will not take offence, at anything you say, but I will welcome the constructiveness and use it in any other books I may write.

5 Stars.....Wow, Loved this story:)

ok, I just finished this story, that by the way, came to my attention out of the blue, lol and boy, oh, boy am I glad it did!!!!!! From what I have read this Author is very new to writing and I think that I read that this was her first book, her debut... Well, it was great. It was very engaging and I mean from the get-go until the very end, I mean no skimming here, lol:) The storyline was great, yes, it felt a little quick and sometimes the dialogue wasn't the best and I don't mean that bad but there were some scenes that I felt could use some work on for the future BUT considering this is her first, spectacular!!!!

This story was low on drama and angst but with that being said, I did feel some angst especially the latter half of the book, but the read itself was light, fast paced, and fairly quick, I felt the story flowed seamlessly albeit for a quick read and the sex scenes were GREAT and I mean HOT in every way:) I LOVED not only Joe but Mya too, they were so damn adorable together. I have to admit that since I have never read anything by this author before, I was quite on edge the whole time reading because I wasn't sure what the heck to expect, I mean I was expecting some things to happen with certain characters and not necessarily good so I kept waiting for that shoe to drop and when it did it was very mild from what I am used to, lololol!!!!!

All in all, I loved it and I already have her next book Alias on my Kindle, which is Trixie's story, we met her in this book and I do look forward to reading it!

Though it is a sweet story and I did enjoy it I expected more. The plot was a little predictable, but still I found it to be a good read.

Not sure what to say about this story. The characters seemed older than their mid 20s. I am not sure if it's because the story took place in London or that that the characters were meant to be older. Joe seemed like a sweet man who wore his heart on his sleeve. May went through some hard stuff in her life. You got to do what you got to do. The two meet when they grab the same taxi and Joe was nice enough to give the taxi to Mya. They meet again when Joe stops for a water at a cafe that Mya works at. Automatically there is a connection between the two of them. Everything goes well but Mya holds back from revealing much about herself to Joe. This causes a rift between the two of them and Joe doesn't want to hear any explanation from Mya and that made me mad. If Joe loved Mya the way he,said he did he could've listened to her explanation. But once Joe came to his senses him and Mya lived HEA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love, Lust and Escaping the Past...
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2014
Belleza is a book full of angst, suspense, mystery, love and towards the end hope!

Mya's story unfolds little by little. We get to know who she is and how she came to be the young woman she became. Mya's life went from happy go lucky teen to out on her ear with nothing in a flash that she had absolutely no control over.

Joe thought he had it all, a successful business and a happy marriage, that was until he walked in on his wife and her boss. We meet Joe as he signs off on his divorce decree, at the beginning of what he hoped to be a new life. It is here that Mya breezes in and out of his life leaving Joe breathless and desperate to find out who this mystery woman is.

And the Gods of Fate are on Joe's side. He manages to bump into Mya again and a connection begins that take both Joe and Mya on a tumultuous journey, one that neither expected and neither was ready to go on, but by golly they are determined to hold on tight!

What drives this story is Mya's past that keeps sneaking in and threatening a positive future. There are multiple antagonists who do not wish for her happiness.If you love angsty romances that have characters who are always one step behind getting that golden ticket of happily ever after then you will love this story. There were moments I wanted to bang Mya and Joe's heads together...but the journey was worth it to the very end...And just when I thought the angst was over Ms Heron has a second book, Alias...I may need a stiff drink!!!!

Great story line, emotional plot and lovable characters! Thank you Ms Heron!

I stumbled on this book through Facebook newsfeed and although a little shorter than my normal reads I really enjoyed may and joes story both had heartache in their pasts fall hopelessly in love with one another but there is a bit of suspense in this story too and no spoiler but the forces are stacked against these two also what I loved about the story there was great supporting characters Joe,s friend sam is funny and a really good pal to Joe and trixie is a great friend and support to may. I loved the ending and because people like to know what the ending is I will say it is HEA no cliff hanger I would say standalone. I found a new author look forward to future books.

As a first novel I found it to be very entertaining. It has a few very graphic sex scenes which could offend some. However this does not detract from a good storyline using a novel way to relate the story. I'm looking foreward to the following novel.

Jane Heron's first book is a triumph. The characters come to life on the page right from the first chapters and I found myself living every twist and turn of their journeys with them. There is mystery, heartache, love, friendship and the intimate scenes are written in a way that conveys the feelings and passion, rather than the 'smut' that has become so common since 50 Shades.
Well done Jane, I am eagerly anticipating the release of your next book!

Hooked within the first chapter.
Racey, sexual, intrigue and a love story all in one.
I'm not an avid reader however I found I couldn't put it down. Loved Joe and Mya's s paths crossing and relationship developing.
I was however shocked at the initial sexual content purely because my little sister is the Author!! :)
Cant wait to read her next novel.
Well done Jane xx
