The Heart Behind the Stories: Sharon Carter’s Path to Becoming an Author
For Sharon Carter, the journey to becoming a published author has been long and filled with life’s unexpected twists. Sharon discovered her love for storytelling as early as eighth grade, where she first began to explore the world of writing. However, life’s demands delayed her dreams of becoming an author, and it wasn’t until 2020 that she published her first book in the “Love Auction” series. Balancing her role in her family’s business with her writing, Sharon has drawn on her own experiences to create relatable, layered characters who face real-life challenges. Her deep understanding of human emotions and relationships is evident in her writing, which resonates with readers seeking both heart and depth in romance novels.
Love Auction: Too Risky to Love Again – Embracing Love After Loss
In the first novel, Love Auction: Too Risky to Love Again, readers are introduced to Sage, a social worker who has faced heartbreak and grief after losing her husband in a tragic accident. Content with focusing on her work, Sage has closed herself off to love, feeling that her heart can’t handle more loss. But life has other plans for her when she crosses paths with Nickolas Brimmer, a business tycoon with his own guarded heart. Nickolas, too, has experienced relationship scars, leaving him wary of deeper connections.
Their story takes a surprising turn when Sage agrees to participate in a charity auction, where Nickolas sees an opportunity to bid for her attention. This date offers both Sage and Nickolas a chance to confront their fears, rediscovering hope in the process. As they navigate their budding connection, they’re also drawn together by Sage’s decision to take Nikki, a young girl in need, under her care. This subplot adds a touching dimension to the story, as Sage’s nurturing nature shines through. The narrative captures the journey of healing, emphasizing that, despite past wounds, love has a way of finding its way back into our lives.
Love Auction II: Love Designs – Opposites Attract in the World of Design
The second book, Love Auction II: Love Designs, introduces readers to Savanna Wright, an ambitious designer starting fresh in Bayville. Her move brings her face-to-face with two intriguing men: Aiden St. Patrick, her new British boss with a reserved demeanor, and Matthew Wittendale, a man with a darker side. Aiden’s initial skepticism about Savanna’s qualifications quickly transforms into fascination as he sees her work and gets to know her spirited personality. Despite their differences, a chemistry brews between Savanna’s Southern sass and Aiden’s British formality, creating tension that’s both entertaining and passionate.
But their romance isn’t straightforward. Matthew, a serial killer with a twisted interest in Savanna, enters the picture, adding a suspenseful layer that keeps readers on edge. Matthew’s schemes and interference threaten to keep Aiden from attending the charity auction, where he plans to bid on Savanna’s date. This creates a thrilling triangle, heightening the suspense as readers wonder if Aiden will succeed in winning her heart—or if Matthew’s dangerous intentions will put Savanna in harm’s way. The book expertly balances romance and tension, keeping readers invested in both the romantic sparks and the lurking danger.
Love Auction III: When Love Finds You – A Journey of Justice and Romance
The final novel, Love Auction III: When Love Finds You, follows FBI agent August Richards, a fiercely independent woman on a mission to solve her partner’s murder. Determined to find justice, she joins Morgan Shipping Company undercover as an accountant. Her goal is simple: focus on finding the truth and avoid any distractions. But life throws her a curveball in the form of Jake Morgan, the wealthy owner of the shipping company, who quickly catches her eye.
Jake is initially suspicious of August’s motives, especially when he discovers she’s investigating his company. However, as they work together, he realizes there’s more to August than meets the eye, and his protective instincts emerge.
