Michelle May Romance

Known to wear a sweater wherever she goes, Michelle May is no stranger to the swift temperature changes of the Western United States. She’ll always consider herself a Coloradan at heart, but for now resides in Idaho with her amazing husband, three rambunctious boys, and one curious cat.

When Michelle isn’t writing, she’s enjoying the solitude of her backyard, failing her fifth workout routine for the year, or rescuing her kids from the imminent dangers of their own making.

Michelle May is also the proud winner of the 2024 Passionate Plume Virgin Award for her debut novel Runaway Bet.

Author's Picture

Runaway Bet

One night of passion, and two fake names. Nothing could go wrong...

Everyone—including my best friend, my mom, and even my kids' babysitter—keeps telling me to move on.

When I meet the attractive, smug, way-too-rich Englishman, Mister Anderson, at a Las Vegas bar, I decide that they're right.

Until the next morning when Anderson leaves a black bag stuffed with $25,000 in cash on the hotel counter. I'd never seen that bag—or that amount of money—in my life, but he insists it's mine... and I was worth every cent.

Runaway Bet is a single mom/ single dad billionaire romance full of debauchery, mistaken identity, and a few reluctant pushes to move forward after loss.

Soul Hates

They’re flawed.

They’re scarred.

They have skeletons in their closet.

And if it weren't for the passionate desire slamming these characters together like a car wreck, they would rip each other to shreds. They still might.

But in the end, "I need" will become "I want" and the pages of this charitable anthology will be set on fire.

Soul Hates, the scorching hot 2024 Passionate Ink anthology, brings all the deliciously naughty enemies-to-lovers action while benefiting ProLiteracy, the leading resource and champion for adult education and literacy worldwide. Proceeds will go to support their mission.

Passionate Ink is also proud to introduce debut author Michelle May, the winner of the 2024 Passionate Plume Virgin award, with a teaser from her upcoming work, Runaway Bet.
