Champagne Rose
Champagne Rose is The Wild Rose Press's general contemporary line.
Guidelines
The Champagne Rose line is our contemporary romance line. The reader here will find stories filled with sexual tension and passionate chemistry. The setting can take place anywhere in the US or another country; small town, big cities or anything in between fits in here. The hero and heroine could be of the same race, or from different ethnic backgrounds. They might be single parents, they might be corporate executives or small town librarians. The list is endless.
The sexuality in these stories is what will set them apart from the Sweetheart Rose line. Champagne Rose couples explore their relationship both emotionally and physically. In each full-length novel, there must be one fully consummated love scene. In the case of short stories, if this isn't realistic for the plot of the story, then the physical encounters must be extremely hot and let the reader know how hard it is for that couple to keep their hands off each other. The characters should leave us remembering them long after we turn the last page. We should feel their feelings, share their joys and their heartaches. And, as with all romances, we should close the book completely satisfied by the happy-ever-after ending.
