The Friendship PactThe Friendship Pact
by Tara Taylor Quinn
Adult Romance, Women's Fiction
Paperback & ebook, 245 pages
June 1st 2014 by MIRA

This is a story for every woman who has a best friend...

Bailey Watters and Koralynn Mitchell consider themselves "sisters of the soul." Their circumstances growing up couldn't have been more different; Kora came from a wealthy, privileged family, while Bailey's home life was hard. They'd do anything for each other. "I'd give you a kidney," they always say. There are no secrets between them--until there's one secret Bailey can't share.

This is a story for every woman who's been in love.

Danny Brown is the only man Kora's ever wanted, ever loved, and her marriage seems as flawless as everything else in her life. Bailey, however, doesn't want a husband. She does want a baby--but only by IVF. And the perfect donor, the perfect biological father, would be a man like...Danny.

What happens when love and friendship collide?

Kora might be willing to give Bailey a kidney. But what about a baby?

Once Upon a Friendship
(The Historic Arapahoe #1)
by Tara Taylor Quinn
Adult Romance
Paperback & ebook, 384 pages
July 1st 2015 by Harlequin Heartwarming

They’re a team...not a couple!

Falling for Liam was unthinkable. He and Gabi had been best friends since college, nothing more. And crucially, now Liam was her client and needed her to be focused on his case. Gabi could never risk their friendship — or Liam’s freedom — over these feelings. They could never be a couple, anyway. He was Liam Connelly, the handsome and privileged son of a billionaire. She was Gabrielle Miller, the girl who’d fought her way out of poverty and put herself through law school. They were unlikely friends to begin with. Anything more was impossible. Unless...he felt it, too.

Guest Post by Tara Taylor Quinn

The release of Once Upon A Friendship this month marks my seventieth published novel with the Harlequin/MIRA/Harper Collins team.  When the publisher sent me the list of my titles recently, telling me that I was at number 70 – a number they consider a milestone – I took a quick glance.  I knew I’d written close to seventy books.  But then a title caught my eye.  Not because of the particular title.  Or because of the particular book.  But because I’d written the book years ago, saw the name, and got that rush feeling in my stomach that you get on Facebook when you see that an old friend has found you.

I took a closer look at the list.  As though compelled, I stopped on each title.  Had a visit.  Re-lived memories with ‘friends’ that I hadn’t thought about in a long time.  Remembered insights I’d gained from the lives of the people I wrote about.  Feelings I’d felt.

It was a reunion of friends.  A great one.

And it’s fitting that this book, Once Upon A Friendship, marks the milestone and put that reunion into motion, because this book is about Friendship.  It’s about three friends, two girls and a guy, who meet during a particularly dramatic moment in the guy’s life.  That shared experience bonds them.  They are friends for life.  Family to each other.  And then everything is threatened.  The guy is going to jail.  One of the girls is falling for him.  And it’s up to the third friend to hold them all together.
She might not be able to prevent jail time.  Or prevent heartache.  But she definitely succeeds in keeping the friendships intact.  Because true friendship is a matter of the heart.  A bond that goes beyond what happens to us in life.  It’s inexplicable.  And crucial.

And something any of us can find, at any time in our lives.  Regardless of circumstance.  Or place.  It exists in war.  In prison.  In church and home.  In wealth and in poverty.  Friendship is always there for us.  We need only open ourselves up to the bounty it has to share.
