From the Author

I started my writing career with sexy short stories (under 10k), and due to constant fan requests, ventured into longer stories. Fated is the first of my longer friends-to-lovers tales and marks the end of the Tied to Him: My BFF series (BWWM romantic erotica shorts). Tied to Him has morphed into the Alpha Second Chances series--same basic elements (sexy interracial tales) but now in novella form!The Alpha Second Chances books include:- Fated- Sculptor- Penalty- Bossy- Guarded- Dare- Favor

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rowena writes steamy friends-to-lovers romance and erotica with an element of reluctance. Expect detailed sexy times! She likes a bit of darkness involved, as long as no one really gets hurt—at least, only in good ways. ;) Forced proximity and kidnapping romances are her favorites.

Rowena's stories feature alpha males and bad boys—military men, billionaires, and athletes among them. Some stories contain heavy domination/submission themes.

Her romantic suspense novels and outlaw romance books are published under the name Lexi Gold. These stories star strangers falling for each other despite their best efforts!

I enjoyed the book

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023

I felt the story is good but it could be better if more about father son relationship was written in especially after. Brent father meets Nina. It would added spice if Brent family dynamics was part of the story.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2022

There were no surprises in this story. However, it was still entertaining. I liked the fact that Nina's encounter with Brent's dad was given a different twist than I have read in similar stories.

I liked this story.....but I find the female character has very little self-respect for herself!!!! It was one thing if he slept with her and she was not a virgin at first, but it's like he drank a cup of water and was done with her!!!...And then in almost less than three days they meet again (after five years) she hands her cookies to him with no problem!...I guess what people are saying now is "if you want love from a man; lack self-respect".....But besides all that..... nice story!...

I truly loved the story line

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2016

I truly loved the story line. It was actually something that one of my friends had experienced in sorts. Her hubby was not a billionaire..but a millionaire..lol. Very nicely done! I like the part when this very powerful 'billionaire' acknowledges his prior actions by rethinking his steps that led to his results. He acknowledges his love for best friend and comes to term with his 'hidden' daughter. Greatly romantic and actually could hold some truth to it in real life. The characters come to life in every page. ROWENA! you are a very talented writer...WRITE ON!

It was corny cliché and just overwhelmingly not good. The dude was a total douche bag it is was all the bad things about IR lit wrapped into one. And I am a dummy that actually paid for it😔

Second chance

I enjoyed this short story, I like this type of "best friends" falling in love plot. Brent is a jerk though, Nina is a great character, his "knight" in shining armor, lol. The fact that Nina is a goddess instead of model type is irrelevant, he is drawn to her and is taking full advantage of this second chance.

Friend or Lover?

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2016

Friend or lover? Neither really just a nasty one night stand. He claimed he loved her and then just deserted her and cut her off. Not sure I would have given him a second chance but they had a connection that couldn't be overlooked.

Nina and Brent were destined to be together and Bianca sounds absolutely adorable.
Friendship, love, abandonment, then love again. Not sure I could have gone back after being abandoned!

A really enjoyable read!! I personally would have let Brent suffer more but I'm not in love with him so I can understand why our heroine gives way. Enjoyable read. Thanks Rowena!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 18, 2016

Second-chance childhood buddies, this book follows the path of Nina and Brent. I read the story to the finish and there was something catchy about the story but it just lacked character depth for me. The story although swapping between perspectives still felt as though it was being narrated rather than capturing my imagination so that I was living the story with them.
