Description
Can love found on television become true love?
When the producers of the new TV reality show, Queen of Hearts, receive a last minute cancellation by one of the show’s contestants, they know their show is in jeopardy of never airing at all. Desperate for a solution, they set out to convince helicopter pilot Ally Parker to join her cousin Pam on the program. Ally reluctantly agrees, but only after being assured that she’ll be eliminated in the first round.
Erin Bogner isn’t looking for love either. Convinced by her employer to be a secret plant on the show, Erin’s job is to weed out the contestants only looking for money and help Pam find true love. Erin has no interest in anything beyond making her employer happy.
But things seem to change for everyone once the game begins. Ally finds herself meeting a contestant that stirs something deep inside. And Erin discovers it may be difficult to fulfill her mission of helping her employer at any cost.
What happens when the game they’re all playing becomes real? The world is tuning in to find out…
About the author
Born and raised on Toronto’s Urban Rez, Sheryl struck out at the tender age of sixteen to find her path. In those early days, she worked as a roving studio photographer, traveling all over the country including the far north. As a Militia Trooper, she completed several full-time postings with the Canadian Forces, plus a tour as a Peacekeeper on the Golan Heights. In between those temporary postings, she tried her hand at several other jobs from selling cars to flipping houses, all with one goal: To save enough money for Flight School. “I was determined to learn to fly, and I wouldn’t let anything stop me.” By age 25 she had her tuition, studying aviation at the American Flyers Academy in Florida, while also completing an Electrical Engineering degree in her spare time. Her flight experience includes Canadian Airlines, Bearskin Airlines, and Her Majesty’s Canadian Armed Forces, in which she served as both a member and a junior officer.
After a lengthy flying career, she suffered a serious health challenge and on October 13, 1999, she was clinically dead. While successfully resuscitated by the heroic efforts of the nursing staff, this would not be her only Near Death Experience during this crisis. “No one sees a life challenge coming. How you face these trials forge your character. An NDE is the ultimate wake-up call. In the aftermath, I awoke with a new desire…write, write for others, share the journey, and mentor others to do the same.”
Today, Sheryl is a published author of several non-fiction books including the Ground Rules for Writers Series. She has the distinction of writing a book that only sold for two weeks; Standardized Procedures for FAA Certification of Level One Flight Training Devices. This book guided Flight Schools and individuals in certifying their home computer and any PC-based flight program including non-industry Microsoft Flight Simulator as a loggable Flight Training Device. Once released, the FAA immediately changed their rules, forcing flight examiners to recognize the efficacy of simulated flight training at the PC Level.
To date, her fiction includes the award-winning military thriller trilogy: Contrary Warriors: Opposite Sides of the Coin, Blood Legacy, and Carved in Ice. She has two new lesbian contemporary romances from Bella Books: Don’t Let Go and Stay With Me, and has work in anthologies, including Happily Ever After.
