Synopsis (from Goodreads)

Cormac

How did I get so lucky? She shouldn’t have been there. She shouldn’t have tried to protect me. She stepped in the line of fire and didn’t even know me. That’s the kind of woman she is. But she’s stubborn too. It surprises us to discover we enjoy her submitting to my demands when no one’s watching. Nothing will stop me from seeing that smile when she’s in my arms. I’ll be her knight in shining armor. She’s my light after the darkest night.

Joey

No good deed goes unpunished. I didn’t think before I acted. Now I’m fighting my attraction to a man I should avoid. I keep families together. He tears them apart.

But he’s so much more than I expected. This New York Irish mobster might be ruthless with everyone else, but I see the man he only shares with his family. He lets me, and I won’t walk away. When outsiders try to drag me away, I know he’ll move Heaven and Earth to save me.

There’s more to life than pleasure, but he gives me more than I ever imagined.

On writing

How did you do research for your book?

I spend a lot of time researching my Contemporary Mafia romances that I write as Sabine Barclay and my Historical Romances that I write as Celeste Barclay. I begin with a google search of whatever I need, then I hop around from there. I research names, dates, places, etymology, songs, poems, prayers, oaths, events, medieval forms of measurement, medieval homeopathic/plant remedies, anatomy, and weapons. All sorts of things. Then I decide what I want to incorporate into the story and what I tuck away in my memory for general knowledge.

Where do you get inspiration for your stories?

One story leads to another leads to another. Usually, there’s something I come up with in a story that plants the seed for the next one or a future one. Sometimes I merely think about what I haven’t written before or haven’t written in a while. It might be something I see on TV or while people watching. It might be something I read that I want to put my spin on.

There are many dark romance books out there. What makes yours different?

I love dark romance, but my natural storytelling style is deep shades of dark gray. Every book I write, Mafia and Historical, centers upon family. It could be blood or found. It’s always about love, loyalty, honor, and duty. Those are important values to me as a person, and it comes out in my writing. My Mafia books have dark plots, dark settings, dark backstories, but the relationship between the main couple is one of respect. My heroines are nobody’s fool and pretty kickass. Both MCs just know they’re better together than apart. With big families and a relationship of equals, there are moments of humor or levity interspersed with the darkness. I write stories that make you feel like you’re walking alongside the characters, not just being a fly on the wall.

What advice would you give budding writers?

No matter how great you think your story is, there’s always room for improvement. What makes sense to you may not make sense to others. Take time to get feedback, and it’s not a personal slight if someone doesn’t care for your book. You can’t please all the people all the time. At best, you can please some of the people some of the time. Find the readers who want to read you, and find the authors who you can network with. Build a village of readers and writers.

Your book is set in New York City. Have you ever been there?

The majority of each book is set in NYC. There are four rival Mafia families, so there are four series in what I call The Syndicate Wars world. You meet the men who take turns as heroes and villains throughout each series, so I keep most of each story in one place. I’ve been to NYC many times and love it. I just wouldn’t live there. Sorry, New Yorkers, but it smells funny.

How long have you been writing?

I’ve been writing creatively since Aug of 2017. I had a few months off, then finished my first book in Feb 2018 and published it on April 15, 2018. Better to celebrate that than Tax Day. Before that, I wrote a lot of academic and professional work. I didn’t know how much I would love storytelling until I started doing it. My imagination is a fabulous place to be.

Do you ever get writer’s block? What helps you overcome it?

Knock on wood, I haven’t gotten it. I think that’s because I’m an immersive or binge writer. When I start a story, I write most days until it’s done. It keeps me in the flow and makes it easier for one idea to germinate into another. If I get stuck, I switch to handwriting rather than typing. Just having another means to put my thoughts onto the page usually helps me move past the speed bump.

What is your next project?

I’m writing the first book, Cartel King, in the last series in The Syndicate Wars world, The Cartel Brotherhood. People have been meeting members of the Colombian Cartel for the past three series. They’ve had their turns at being villains. Now it’s their chance for redemption. The series kicks off with Enrique Diaz, the leader in NYC, with Cartel King. There will be six books just like in the previous three series. I’m already thinking about the next world I’m creating. That’ll take place in Boston and will launch in 2026. This year is the year of the Cartel. I’ve already had the American branches of the Russian bratva, the Italian Mafia, and the Irish mob.

What genre do you write and why?

I began in Historical Romance and still write mostly Highlanders when I’m writing Hist Rom. I was a history teacher for years, and I love falling back in time. I love writing about independent women and the men who love them. I love the battles and clan politics based on real events. I love that it’s so far in the past that maybe I could have been that heroine. I don’t have to worry about my everyday real life. No thinking about oil changes or mortgages or electricity bills. I can be free to have an imaginary life. When I read a Hist Rom author friend’s Mafia book, I was hooked. Mafia Romance is Medieval Romance today. If you love swords and kilts, you can love guns and suits. If you love guns and suits, you can love swords and kilts. They are based on the exact same things: rivalries, protecting those you love and who rely on you, vengeance for wrongs, getting away with things you can’t in real life. It was a natural progression to write Mafia after writing Historicals for many years.

What is a favorite compliment you have received on your writing?

I feel like I’m part of your characters’ families. I know them like they’re real, and I feel like I’m in the story not just reading the story.

What were the biggest rewards and challenges with writing your book?

The biggest reward is offering escapism and entertainment to others. That’s what I get from writing, and that’s what I want to offer readers. The biggest challenge is juggling all the things that go along with being a professional author.

In one sentence, what was the road to publishing like?

Bumpy. I suppose I can say more than a word, so it has had high and lows that have taught me how to adapt to keep loving what I do.

Which authors inspired you to write?

Maggie Cole, Jagger Cole, Bianca Cole—there’s something about that name—and Jane Henry for Mafia. Eliza Knight, Emma Prince, Keira Montclair, Cecelia Mecca are among a slew of Medieval Romance authors I devoured before becoming an author.

On rituals:

Where do you write?

In my living room most of the time. I have serious neck issues, and writing on my sofa actually puts the keyboard and mouse at the right height for me. I have my laptop on a stand to bring it to eye level. I can shift into different positions to stay comfy, which also makes it easier on my back. I sound so old! But that’s where I’m happy.

Do you write every day?

No. If I’m currently working on a book, I write almost every day. But I give myself days off here and there to get real life things done—getting my roots done or doctor’s appointments or lunch with my family or friends—or just to have a break. I give myself a few days to a couple weeks off between books.

What is your writing schedule?

I’ve gotten into dictation recently, so I go for a long walk—about 4.5 miles—most days and dictate during that time. I can write as many words walking for an hour-and-half as I can in twice that time of typing. It allows me to get exercise and fresh air without feeling like I’m cutting into my workday. I’ll continue writing once I’m home and back at my computer. When I strictly typed, I would write anywhere from eight to fourteen hours. I get immersed in my stories. I love being in my imagination, so time just isn’t a thing. It passes without me noticing.

If you’re a mom writer, how do you balance your time?

When I started, I was a middle school teacher and had an upper elementary and middle schooler at home. I would write during my lunch, while my kids were at swim practice, at night after they went to bed, and during the weekend. I have one in college and one about to graduate high school, so it’s easier now that they don’t need me the way they used to. Since this is my full-time job now, I work until my family gets home, then I try to be off the clock. But when I first started, it was grabbing any time I could anywhere I was.

Fun stuff:

What is something you've learned about yourself during the pandemic?

I’m a happy hermit. After years as a stay-at-home mom, a teacher, a personal trainer, and being in sales, it was wonderful to just not have to talk to people. My family each had a spot in the house to work, and I had quiet and solitude. I hadn’t realized how exhausted I was being an introvert who’s learned to navigate an extroverted world.

What TV series are you currently binge watching?

I have a few! Fire Country, S.W.A.T., FBI, Tracker, Landman, Matlock, Poppa’s House, Dexter: Original Sin, Miss Scarlet

What is the oldest item of clothing you own?

I have a couple of oversized men’s button downs I’ve had since high school. I graduated in ’98. Wow. Now that I think about it, they are WAY older than I realized. I don’t wear them that often, so they’re still in great shape and never go out of fashion.

Who was your childhood celebrity crush?

Oh, that’s easy. Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block.

Pre-Order Blitz Murder on the Steel Pier A Tess Mancini Time Travel Mystery By Rosie Genova!

Genres: An Adult Time Travel Historical Mystery (with cozy noir elements)

Publisher: Two Roses Press

Publication Date: March 31, 2025

The morning after a blowout thirty-fifth birthday celebration in Atlantic City, crime reporter and party girl Tess Mancini wakes up in an unfamiliar place—1955. Bread is eighteen cents a loaf, Ike occupies the White House, and the Boardwalk is crawling with vintage cars and vintage wise guys. A bewildered Tess is sure of only two things: One, she’s not crazy, and two, the clothes are fabulous. And somehow, she’s living the life of her Great Aunt Theresa, who disappeared decades before Tess’s birth.

In her 1950s existence, Tess is a reporter for the local newspaper, living and working at a boarding house owned by her Zia Antonetta, an Italian immigrant with secrets of her own. Tess also discovers that Theresa has a kid brother, teenaged troublemaker Val Mancini—also known as Tess’s paternal grandfather. Though determined to return to her own time, Tess’s curiosity takes over. What happened to the first Theresa Mancini? And is Tess’s trip through time somehow connected to her aunt’s fate?

But when young Val is accused of murdering a boarding house guest, a Nazi in hiding, Tess ends up with two investigations on her hands, and though desperate to leave the Nifty Fifties, she’s stuck in time until she can prove Val’s innocence. As she searches for answers, she finds allies in a dishy police detective and a suspiciously charming fellow reporter. She also crosses paths with a Mid-Century icon of science—possibly the one person who can help her get back home—but not until she finds a way to keep her grandfather off Death Row.

Because before Tess can get back to the future … she needs to make sure she has one.

From Chapter 1, Murder on the Steel Pier

Someone was smoking a cigarette. I sniffed, and spikes of pain started at my chin and shot through the top of my head. Oh God, make it stop, and I promise I’ll never touch another drop of tequila. Being another year older was bad enough—did I have to be punished for it, too? My nose twitched as the smoke teased my nostrils and caressed my olfactory nerves. I’d quit a month ago, but the longing for a cig came roaring back.

With my eyes still closed, and my head nailed to the pillow, I had one coherent thought: This is supposed to be a smoke-free hotel. As far as I knew, it was also bird-free, but the chirps and twitters assailing my ears were clearly coming from feathered creatures. Then again, it’s Atlantic City. Maybe the birds were part of the hotel show. Ever so slowly, I slid my hands from under the covers and cupped them over my ears.

“Please, birdies,” I whispered. “Stop singing.” Geez, they sounded close enough to be in my room. I exhaled, yoga style. C’mon, Tess, time to open your eyes. You can do it. Actually, I couldn’t, as my lashes were glued together. (Had I slept in my make-up? Not a good sign.) Still covering my ears against the piercing bird song, I fluttered my left eyelid and squinted.

Big, fuchsia-colored roses seemed to scream at me from the wall. And sun—blinding, eyeball-searing sun—streamed in through an uncovered window. And not a hotel window bolted shut and draped to keep out that awful light, but a wooden one with glass panes. And across the top, a ruffly white curtain.

Okay, not my hotel. So where was I? My empty stomach grew queasy; I wouldn’t have gone home with a stranger. Though I did remember a cute blond guy playing the slots next to me, but it was all so … blurry. I eased open the other eye. Across the room was a vanity table draped in more white ruffles. Somehow, I doubted the blond guy lived here.

This place was obviously some kind of historic inn or something, but that still didn’t explain how I’d gotten here. I looked down at the sheets, also decorated with roses. Only these were little yellow ones. Somebody sure liked her florals.

“So weird,” I muttered. Hands shaking, eyes half closed, I felt around for my phone, but my fingers landed on a string of beads. I let go of the necklace and blinked hard, trying to ignore the little flashes of pain behind my eyes. Next to me was an old-fashioned nightstand; on it was a lamp with a frilly pink shade, an analog alarm clock ticking loudly, and the “necklace,” which had a cross hanging from it. A face stared at me from a black-and-white photo. I shifted closer, peering at a guy with slicked-back hair, thick brows, and dark-lashed eyes. Across the bottom of the picture was a name, signed in blue ink. I frowned at the image. Who the heck was Tyrone Power? Was he someone’s boyfriend? Or part of the décor?

Hangover and rubber legs be damned, I had to get moving and find my phone. But before I could get a big toe out from under the covers, a knock sounded at the door. I sat up in the strange bed, holding my throbbing head as though it were a soft-boiled egg.

“Tess? Are you awake yet?” The voice on the other side of the door had a slight Irish brogue. “Can I come in, then?”

“Yes,” I croaked. Whoever she was, she knew my name. Despite the sunlight, the room was chilly, and I huddled under the cotton blankets as the woman bustled in holding a small tray. I sniffed coffee and toast, and when she set it down on the nightstand, my stomach gurgled audibly.

“Now,” she said, wiping her hands on her apron, “we served breakfast some time ago, and when you didn’t come down, I knew you’d be oversleepin’ again. Your auntie will have my hide and your own if you don’t get down to that kitchen.” She crossed her ample arms and sent me a stern look. “You know we don’t serve anyone in their rooms, guests or otherwise, but Carolina insisted I bring you your coffee. Said you’re no good without it.”

I looked up at a broad-shouldered woman in a green housedress. Over that was an apron in a loud, orange-and-green pattern of forks and spoons. Her thick white hair, twisted into a bun, was bright against her weathered skin. Her small dark eyes gave the impression of two raisins set in a gingerbread face. I’d never seen her before in my life.

“Sorry, Mrs. Flaherty.” How did I know that? It surely must have been her name because she didn’t correct me. I sat up quickly, my mouth hanging open in shock, and the blankets slipped to my waist.

Mrs. Flaherty took a step closer to the bed and narrowed her eyes at me. “Just what are you wearing, missy?” What was I wearing? I glanced down at the cursive “T” stitched on the pocket of my favorite monogrammed PJs. Expensive ones. And why did she care? I opened my mouth to answer, but Mrs. F got there ahead of me. “They’re silk,” she hissed. “And black, for the Lord’s sake.”

“Uh huh,” I said slowly, wondering if she commented on the nightwear of all her guests. Still, I pulled the blankets up to my chin.

“Best not let your auntie see them. Don’t know how in the world you afford such things,” she grumbled. “Eat up quick now, and bring down that tray when you’re through.”

“Okay,” I whispered, staring at the door she closed behind her.

Description

Almost a year after the murder that shook Lobell College to its core, the start of a new academic year brings familiar faces back to the scene of the crime. Daniel Rosenbaum starts his first year as dean of the English department and takes a hands-on role in advising students. Lily Peterson and Gianna d’Angelo return to continue their undergrad studies after the death of the professor they were both in love with.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Hudson, Tony d’Angelo is working hard. With his sister back in college, it’s all hands on deck to keep his dad’s auto shop running and take care of his infant niece. He still finds time to spend most nights with his boyfriend, Daniel, although he can’t seem to find the words to talk to his family about his relationship. Tony’s life is exactly what he’s always wanted it to be—so why does he feel like he’s struggling to be himself?

When a Lobell professor is once again found murdered, the idyll of the last months is turned on its head. Can Tony and Daniel stay out of harm’s way this time? Or will the fragile new peace they’ve found together be shattered?

Second Chance

Prologue

With a groan, Amelia Lawrence pushes away from her desk. The sun is setting outside, and since it’s late August, that means it’s about eight. The semester hasn’t even started yet.

It serves her right for taking this long to finish the syllabus; she should have gotten the jump on planning last weekend or maybe sometime in July. It just didn’t work out. For some reason, trying to make herself work on classes in the summers feels like stuffing a square peg in a round hole, with her brain being the square peg.

That’s the burnout talking, Amy, the analytical goblin living in the back of her mind tells her.

She ignores it.

She’s getting really good at that.

Amelia vaguely recalls a phase when she was better at this. She got more things done in the same amount of time. She planned her lessons, wrote her syllabi, and there was somehow still time left over to do her own research.

The sun sets over the trees at Wordstone Mansion, down by the river. Amelia can barely see it from the science building, but she can feel in an unsettled way how beautiful it would be to be there. There and not in her office, slaving away at things she should have been done with ages ago.

Her husband sent a text. It’s a video of their daughter, Francie, waving goodnight.

Guilt swamps Amelia. Her husband didn’t mean to make her feel this way, she’s sure. He gets it. He got a doctorate, too, before leaving academia for the calmer and more lucrative waters of IT consultancy. She still feels guilty.

They talk about it in oblique references sometimes, she and her husband. The burnout. The thing looming on the edges of her psyche she can barely put a name to because it means failure. The reason she’s already exhausted at the thought of teaching on Monday.

It’s not fair.

Amelia has always loved teaching.

She was one of the few PhD students in her cohort who did.

But here she is, thirty-five years old and not even a tenure-track position to show for it. Instead, she has to hope every year she’ll be somehow, magically, gifted something more permanent than a “good work this year, let’s talk about contract renewal.” Amelia barely dares to ask for a raise in those talks, only an inflation adjustment, because what does she have to offer? Her own research is stagnating, like so many zebrafish she has her students perform experiments on.

Psychology is so glamorous.

Amelia needs to learn to draw proper boundaries. Say no and mean no. Go to class with last year’s slides and no other preparation. Not be available to everyone and anyone. Take time for her own stupid zebrafish experiments. Do some writing, catch up on journals, stop living day to day.

Take her daughter to the Catskills when autumn hits the hillsides in the Hudson Valley and turns it into a glorious riot of color.

Amelia takes a deep breath.

“Just finish up tonight, Amy,” she tells herself. “Get it done and then be happier.”

She sits down at her computer again, willing herself to work through the end of the syllabus.

Immediately, an email notification distracts her. An unread message from Lily Peterson. A vague memory surfaces in Amelia’s brain, something to do with the mess last year after Professor Lombardi died so tragically. Lily was involved. Amy has a dim memory of an all-faculty email about it. She’d been seeing him, and when he died, she vanished from class suddenly and completely. Lily was on the roster of one of Amelia’s classes, a two hundred–level lecture course about…something. Neuroscience, probably. That’s the one everyone drops out of.

Amelia clicks on the email.

Apparently, Lily returned to Lobell, and she wants to know if she can still get credit for the class by retaking the final.

For a heartbeat, Amelia thinks about it. She’d have to dig into the mess of the file structure on her computer and figure out where she left the final exam. Then she’d have to schedule a time, remember how she graded the neuroscience final last fall, oversee one student taking the exam, figure out how to get the extremely late grade through the Registrar’s office, and—

No, her burnout gremlin tells her very firmly. Boundaries. Amelia’s setting boundaries this year. She won’t let it stay this bad.

Dear Lily, she writes. I’m sorry.
