MEET CARIDAD PINEIRO.
Caridad was
born in Havana, Cuba, and settled in the New York Metropolitan area. She
attended Villanova University and got her juris doctor from St. John’s
University. She is the first female
partner at an intellectual property firm in mid-Manhattan. That’s her day
job.
Caridad
is also a multi-published and award-winning author whose love of the written
word developed when her fifth grade teacher assigned a project – to write a
book that would be placed in the school library. She has been hooked on writing
ever since.
In 1999,
she was published by Kensington’s Encanto line, the first bilingual Latino
romance novels. In 2006, Caridad helped Silhouette launch its successful
Nocturne paranormal line with her The Calling Vampire series. She also writes
suspense, military, erotic and women’s fiction. In fact, we love her Chica
books. The latest, SOUTH BEACH CHICAS
CATCH THEIR MAN, is a fun read about four single girls + four sexy men =
trouble for one confirmed bachelorette who just wants to hand with her amigas!
Caridad has been named a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author. She is also a founding member of the Liberty States Fiction Writers. When not lawyering or writing, Caridad teaches
writing workshops. Learn more about this
talented writer at www.caridad.com.
AT THE SHORE
What happens at the shore, stays
at the shore.
Caridad has a new contemporary
romance series from Sourcebooks Casablanca – At The Shore – about three Jersey Girls, BFFFs, who are
successful women but single. But Fate has
a surprise for them as they are – one by one – dragged to the altar for their
own Happily-Ever-After.
In ONE SUMMER NIGHT, Maggie
Sinclair is trying hard to save her family’s business, including mortgaging the
family beach house on the Jersey shore. She has one option left--- Owen
Pierce. The Sinclair and Pierce families
have been neighbors and enemies for almost 30 years. Maggie hesitates so it’s
up to Owen to convince her that he’s more than just trouble with a capital T.
WHAT HAPPENS IN SUMMER, Book 2 of
the series, will be out this June. Connie
Reyes is on the fast track to becoming lawyer.
Then she meets and spends one hot summer night with the oh so tempting
Jonathan Pierce. Can the consequences of
their passion derail her dreams or can they find a way to balance their
different personalities and build a family together?
A SEA KISS CHRISTMAS (tentative
title), Book 3 of the series, will be out late Fall. Emma is a wedding planner so she knows how
quickly marriages sour. She puts up a brave front at her friends’ weddings, but
she doesn’t believe in Happily-Ever-After. Carlo de Costa has been in love with
Emma forever and can’t understand why she can’t see it. He refuses to give up
on her until Emma can see for herself that she holds the key to his heart.
The
Latina Book Club wishes you a Happy Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day and many
hours of joyful reading.
