Isabella
Macotte grew up in Chicago and now lives in the Midwest. Ever since she can
remember, she was reading. Not just fiction but everything she could get her
hands on. Science, romance, history and paranormal. Especially
paranormal...anything scary, creepy, or gory, she loves it. From light
paranormal elements to terrifying monsters, she'll make up a story to amaze or
scare you.
Isabella Macotte writes the kind of romance she loves to read: a story with delicious dialogue, seductive encounters, a dash of the paranormal, and an irresistible hero you will never forget.
Passionate about books, Isabella keeps busy reading, writing and working in a library. But if a few moments remain at the end of the day, she spends them with a wonderful family and sweet bichon pup named Daisy.

Please welcome,
Isabella. Isabella, why do you write the stories you write?
Emma,
thanks so much for having me as your guest!
I
absolutely love romance novels with a paranormal twist. In spite of reading a
wide range of everything in the genre, my favorite stories have a lighter
supernatural tone. Everyone needs to escape from our hectic world with a good
book, and what better way than with romantic fantasy starring a hunky hero and
a strong heroine? So, I write what I love to read.
What are your writing goals for this
year?
I’ve
completed a young adult paranormal romance, The Monster. Next up, final edits
for The Heart Compass, book two of
the Artifacts of Love series.
Do you have any releases scheduled for
this year?
The Heart Gem is my current release. A historical
romance novel set in England, the story incorporates paranormal elements, a
heroine who plans to be a businesswoman, and a sexy hero who needs to wed to
leave the Fae world behind.
What do you like to read?
I
read all types of fiction and non fiction. Romance, mystery, science,
historical, depends on my mood. Usually romance is tops on my list, and I love
memorable characters, great chemistry, and an interesting setting.
What would you like to know from
readers?
I
always want to know what readers like in a book, because I want to write what
they want to read. Hopefully they’ll
love the The Heart Gem. The story is
written for them.

BLURB:
In 1885, a proper Victorian woman's place was in the home. Convention
never appealed to Hallie Pinefoy.
But plans for financial independence through a successful doll-making venture have one impediment. She's inherited a curiosity shop and a handsome business partner who's proving to be a delicious distraction.
When Bremen Tyler inherits a shop in coastal England, he breaks from the mystical Ancestral clan to live a normal life. The only way to guarantee a permanent break is to marry his Heart Match, a perfect soul mate. Bremen recognizes the captivating Hallie as his true love, but she isn't cooperating with his courtship.
If he can retrieve the stolen Heart Gem, an Artifact of Love, he can use it to prove their match. The surface of the Gem reflects the essence of a couple's future life, but the risks are great. More importantly, will Hallie realize true love doesn't need proof?

EXCERPT:
Hallie’s bottom
shifted from Bremen’s lap onto the cold stone garden bench. Why was he stopping
just when the moment was getting interesting? Then she heard the footsteps in
the distance, rustling along the garden path. Her head still blissfully dazed,
Bremen’s possessive hands moved to straighten the aquamarine gown’s bodice,
which had drawn away completely from her breasts.
Clay’s face was
an angry red, even in the dark night. She jumped at the intrusion and attempted
to yank her hand out of Bremen’s, but his firm palm held on without releasing.
“Bremen Tyler,
how dare you encroach on our relationship? Hallie and I have a long-established
agreement among our families. You must honor this arrangement and withdraw your
presence.” The shrillness of Clay’s voice reverberated through the grounds.
“I haven’t been
informed of a promise or understanding. In fact, I have heard from the lady she
is uncommitted. A state I’m determined to reverse.” Bremen’s deep voice was low
and controlled.
“She would be
committed to me if it were not for you. You are confusing her; she loves me but
you are filling her head with promises and nonsense.”
“I have given
Hallie neither false promises nor nonsense. She knows my true feelings.”
“She also knows
my feelings and has said she will consider my offer.”
“If Hallie tells
me it is you she wants, I’ll say no other word.”
“Hallie, tell
him you will marry me. I believe my request was clear at supper,” Clay
demanded.
“My love, make
your wishes known, and we will visit the reverend directly,” Bremen countered.
Both men stared,
waiting for a decision.
