CoswayRomance ContemporaryMay 16, 2016Self Published Favorite Quote: “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to just love and be loved in return.” Fans are sure to notice the deviation in plot and characterization that Cosway takes in her latest endeavor. Showmance is a sweet, sexy, mildly angst driven romance that perfectly showcases the allure of opposite attraction by slowing building a Continue Reading

You have two or more characters, human or Continue Reading
