In early 2010, Kara picked up her very first erotic romance novel, and she was instantly hooked. She loves to write contemporary romance, erotica, and young adult romance.

She's the author of several erotic novellas, The Georgia Corbins, a YA romance, and a handful of short stories. Kara is an active member of the CNY Writers Haven and the CNY Romance Writers. In addition, she's an Associate Editor at Entranced Publishing.

BOOK BLURB: Teghan Jacobs didn't think anything could be worse than learning she's pregnant by a man she's been dating less than six months. Boy, was she wrong. Her mother, whose drowning in the river of denial, refuses to take a side on the issue. And her overbearing, manipulative father threatens to disown her and cut her off from her trust fund if she doesn't have an abortion.

Donnie Marks couldn't be happier. The woman he loves, the woman he fought so hard to be with, is going to have his baby. Life has never been better. But when she shows up in his dorm room, sobbing and heartbroken, he learns the horrible truth of what happened. He vows to get revenge on the man who's responsible: Teghan's father.



Donnie watched as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. He smiled. "Do I make you nervous?"
"No."
He studied her for a moment before cocking his head to the side and asking, "So, why do you do that thing?"
"What thing?"
"That thing with your hair. You've done it every time I've seen you," he said.
           Teghan felt the heat rising inside her as she looked at her feet and back at him. His eyes glimmered with desire that, she guessed, rivaled her own. She swallowed hard and reminded herself he was off limits. She'd just made things right with Alex, and there was no doubt that if she broke Alex's heart again, her brother, her father, and their friends would never forgive her. It was something she wasn't willing to risk.
But oh, how she wanted to feel him. To place her hands on his hard abs and feel his muscles tense beneath her touch. As he approached, she watched his body, seductively outlined by the light. Her breath caught in her throat when he reached out, took her hand, and gently pulled her to him. It was as if they were two halves of a mold that fit together perfectly. She sucked in a breath and held it. Was he going to kiss her? A small part of her wished he wouldn't, while the rest of her screamed for it.
Donnie cupped her face in his hand, caressing her cheek with his thumb. Teghan's eyes fluttered closed at the feel of his lips coming close to hers. It was like the time she'd stuck her finger in a light socket; a jolt of searing hot energy shot through her body, but then eased away, leaving her stunned and aroused. "We shouldn't do this," she whispered, her lips brushing against his as she spoke.
"Do you want me to stop?" he said.



 Waterfalls Don't Die
By
Kara Leigh Miller

            Waterfalls don't die….that's the same phrase I heard repeated each time someone heard the title of my book, Death of a Waterfall.

            I know waterfalls don't die.

            So, why did I decide to title my book that? Because it's all symbolic. My heroine, Teghan Jacobs has been fascinated with waterfalls ever since a childhood family vacation to Niagara Falls. Her father, Rob, installed a waterfall in their backyard, which is where Teghan spent a lot of time as a child. It's also where she goes anytime she has a problem or just needs to think. They are her safety net, her one constant thing that never changes or dies.  However, at the end of the book, her father tears down her waterfall, leaving her angry, sad, hurt, and betrayed. Hence, the death of her waterfall.
