About M. J. Kane

M.J. Kane stumbled into writing. An avid reader, she never lost the overactive imagination of an only child. As an adult, she made up stories, though never shared them, to keep herself entertained. It wasn’t until surviving a traumatic medical incident in 2006 that she found a reason to let the characters inhabiting her imagination free. Upon the suggestion of her husband, she commandeered his laptop and allowed the characters to take life. It was that, or look over her shoulder for men caring a purple straitjacket. And the rest, as they say, is history.

No longer a television addict, if M.J. isn’t reading a book by one of her favorite authors, she’s battling with her creative muse to balance writing, her career as a librarian, and being a wife and mother. She resides in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia with her high-school sweetheart, four wonderful children, and four pit bulls.

Romantic Women’s Fiction with Heart and Soul...

Trevon Campbell's world changed the moment his ex-girlfriend announced he was a father. Determined to make up for his past mistakes, Trevon gives Trina what she wanted before their breakup, what feels like his soul, which means he needs to forget about the exotic woman who stole his heart one fateful night.

Kai Malone refuses to play by her family's rules. Instead of working for the family business, she became a firefighter. Working in a field dominated by men is hard enough, especially when you have a multicultural heritage, but Kai dedicates her life to her career to be the best and so she doesn’t have to think about the infidelity of her fiancé. Tired of his deceit, she gave in to a one-night stand with a complete stranger, someone she'd never have to see again—or so she thought.

When tragedy strikes, their worlds collide, leaving them no choice but to interact with each other again. It doesn't take long for them to realize the attraction that brought them together the first time is stronger than ever, forcing Trevon to make the biggest decision of his life.

All novels in the Butterfly Memoirs are stand-alone stories—no cliffhangers. Each book revisits each of the characters' lives, though, so you'll enjoy following along with old friends as you meet new ones..

Romantic Women’s Fiction with Heart and Soul...

When Derrick's brother drives the family business into bankruptcy, Derrick is left without a job and only one choice: start over. With a new job waiting in Atlanta, the only other thing he's looking for is a woman who's willing to fit his no-strings-attached relationship policy. But then he runs into Kelli, a woman with a smart mouth who challenges him in every way. She'd be perfect...if it weren't for the fact she has kids.

Shortly after giving birth to her son, Kelli's husband announced that he wanted a divorce. Forced to move in with her newlywed sister, Kelli is faced with raising two young children on her own, finding affordable housing, and landing a job that will pay her bills. The last thing she needs or wants is a man in her life. But when her brother-in-law's best friend shows up for dinner, it's impossible to ignore the sexual attraction. Fate and finances have another plan, though, forcing Derrick and Kelli into living under the same roof.

Despite their differences, Derrick finds himself breaking his own relationship rules. But as his luck would have it, just when he thinks he's ready to make a commitment, tragedy strikes close to home and, with it, issues from his past that force him to risk everything for what he wants.
