About CL Rowell

I am a southern girl, born and raised in the southern US, in crawfish country. I love to write romance - and read science fiction and fantasy, horror, romance and erotic romance. I'm a bit of a poet, but mostly when I'm feeling emotional. My friends tend to come to me when they need poems. I've been all over the continental US. My fave state? Oregon, because it has it all - beaches, ocean, mountains, caves, valleys, desert. I've been to Canada. I'd love to visit the UK, too, one day. I've driven an 18 wheeler...I'm 5'1", lol. I wanted to be a race car driver, but my first love is reading/telling stories. Why? Because between the covers of a book, you can go anywhere, be anything, and do whatever you like...all in the span of a few hours.

( 15 )

$2.99

They say life begins at forty. Boy were they right. Sort of.
I found myself divorced at thirty with three little ones at home. It didn’t leave much time for dating, but after my ex cheated on me I wasn’t exactly looking for love. I was perfectly happy with my life as a working-from-home single mom.
Ten years later my best friend surprises me with vacation plans to beautiful steamy New Orleans, and I’m not allowed to say no.
I should have said no.
Now I’m sprouting fangs and drinking blood from crystal glasses with a hot hunky vampire.
There’s just one problem. How do I tell my kids?
A hot and spicy paranormal romantic comedy that’ll have you rooting for the hero/heroine and laughing out loud. Over 18, for language and situations.

An Unlikely Vampire Dec 1, 2019

$2.99

Too plump, too old, and too human to be a vampire? Yeah, right. Not! It’s time to drag these vamps into the twenty-first century.
I never really lent much credence to the idea of vampires in New Orleans until it was too late and I was one. Forty-five hours after I stormed out on a bad date, I woke up parched, pale, sans reflection, and sensitive to sunlight. I guess that’s what I get for waiting for my taxi in front of a cemetery.
Now I’m getting training in Vampire 101 from a hot vampire cop, slathering on SPF 100 sunscreen, and ordering my blood online. Things could be worse.

I went to high school with Lorna Mills. She was the most beautiful girl in school, and popular—Homecoming Queen, head cheerleader, track star, prom queen. Imagine my surprise when she asked me to the Sadie Hawkins Day dance our junior year. It was an experience I’ll never forget. Due to circumstances beyond my control, it wasn’t until college that I asked her out on a real date. Why, you ask? It’s complicated.
Back in high school, I had such a crush on Keith Wilkins but he never asked me out. I invited him to the Sadie Hawkins Day dance and my father found out. He put distance between us, hoping I’d forget him. Instead, I applied to the same college he did. In that new setting he finally asked me out. Everything was falling into place. I had the perfect guy and my career as a college student was taking off. But I got pregnant before I was even halfway to my associate’s degree. Did I want the husband and baby or the college degree and trust fund? Could I have both?

Kissing Katie (Small Town Love Series Book 3) Sep 11, 2020

$2.99

I come from old money and I was expected to marry old money… someone with family connections that would further our own. I never dated anyone with a net worth less than nine figures and more was definitely better. They had to be the whole package, though. No ugly ducks allowed. I have standards—handsome, an American Express Centurion card in his wallet, a Bugatti or better in the garage of his multi-million-dollar mansion. Peons need not apply. Then I walked into a New Orleans coffee shop and met Johnny Terrabonne and my whole world spun on its axis.
I haven't dated anyone since I lost my wife ten years ago. Even if I did, I don’t date rich chicks—ever. And I definitely don’t date them when they're barely old enough to be out from under mommy and daddy’s wings. So I don’t know what came over me the day she walked in. Katie Bruce, as in Bruce Yachts, Bruce Oil, Bruce Golf. Everyone with half a brain knows who they are. I told myself to keep my distance but all it took was a glance from those lapis lazuli blue eyes and a smile from that perfect pink cupid’s bow and I was down for the count. The only problem? Her daddy has the power to make me disappear—forever. Am I crazy to consider it?

$2.99

The last time I saw Tara Wilkins, my best friend's little sister, she was a twelve-year-old brat and I was nineteen and headed off to college before joining the Marines, with every intention of never returning to the small town I grew up in. To my shock and embarrassment, she swore her undying love and insisted she’d wait for me. I never in my wildest dreams thought she meant it.
It’s been thirteen years, but I’m back in Humble, Louisiana, a worldly thirty-two year old with my own small construction business and a bionic foot, a reminder of my time in the military. I advertise for an assistant to answer the phone, schedule jobs, take payments - the tedious monotony I can do but don’t want to.
One guess who shows up to apply for the job. Now she’s twenty-five and all grown up, and I’m hiding erections left and right because Keith, her brother and my best friend and business partner, would kill me if I even looked at her sideways.

The last time I saw James Hyde, he was nineteen and heading off to college and I was almost a teenager. I loved him with all of my heart. Before he left, I promised to wait for him. He said he wasn’t coming back.
Thirteen years later and guess who has returned with plans to start a business with my brother? James, looking even more handsome than I remembered. My feelings for him, if anything, have grown stronger. He’s still the only man I want. Can I persuade him to take a chance on us?

Life isn't strictly black and white, and those shades of gray in the middle can trip you up, throw you a curve ball and change your whole outlook.
Brandon...my Achilles heel all through school, from kindergarten through my senior year. He pulled my hair, tripped me in the halls, gave me a horrible nickname that makes me cringe even now, and generally made my life hell.
When I stumble upon an antique shop I've never seen before, I'm presented with the opportunity of a lifetime...PAYBACK. I'm given the chance to make him worship me, to make him do anything I ask, to make him debase himself in front of everyone who cheered him on back in the day. But...can I do it? Can I take my revenge and make his life as hellish as he made mine? Or will I discover that things aren't always what they seem from the outside looking in?
Hi, I’m Zoe and this is my story.
