Some atmospheric inspiration for my 2024 novel....


From White Noise Tranquility on Youtube (complete with atmospheric sounds). And yes, the story is set in a castle. Wooohhh ...  🏰 👻 😬 😉

 


Verity's 'anthem'

Verity is the heroine in my forthcoming novel The Long Road to Loving Royce, and now I've found 'her' song. 

 

One prestigious job opportunity, two main contenders. She's trapped under a glass ceiling. His career is all he cares about. Will it take a potentially dangerous alliance for them both to succeed?

And is there more on the line here than just a job?

 

Verity's song is Try Everything by Shakira. You can listen to it here.

 

Reviews of my Long Road Box Set - all 5 star!

Readers' Favourite reviewers said: 

'There will surely be something for everyone in these romances because they’re so filled with universal themes and relatable emotional trials. If it’s western-style outback romance you’re into, then look no further than The Long Road Box Set for your next cozy read.' - KC Finn  

'Each novel is unique. The pace is fast without giving readers whiplash, the characters are given a chance to develop properly, and the plot is interesting to make me keep turning pages. I love how the feelings develop gradually and not in a flash! Alicia Hope has crafted a masterpiece.' - Rabia   

And from my 😍 favourite review:

'All three stories take place in rural Australia and are read as stand-alone novels. The writing is clean and the pacing is absolute perfection ... I'd give these three novels a whole bucket full of stars if I could.' - Jamie

 

For 2023 release - book 4 in my LONG ROAD series

The Long Road to Loving Royce 

One prestigious job opportunity, two main contenders. She’s trapped under a glass ceiling. His career is all he cares about.

Ambitious divorcee Verity Parker is determined to break new ground for professional women in the male-dominated Australian mining industry, by shattering the company’s glass ceiling and proving she has what it takes to survive the perils of upper management. Success can come at a cost though, which Verity discovers after snatching the top job from the waiting hands of her main rival. 

Royce James is known to be hard-nosed and astute, making him a formidable adversary but also a valuable ally in the dog-eat-dog corporate world. Can Verity forge an alliance with him, the man she beat to the coveted CEO position and who no doubt holds a grudge? 

With tensions between them rising, can Verity trust Royce to do right by her, or will he prove to be her most ruthless nemesis? Does he have her job in his sights, or her wary heart? Or both?

If you enjoyed the intense power struggles in The Devil Wears Prada, you’ll love this story of ambition, power plays, and workplace romance, as Alicia Hope’s gutsy heroine navigates the shark-filled waters of corporate Australia. 

Pre-order now to get or gift the book for Christmas, and uncover an alliance that becomes so much more than a business arrangement.... 

If you enjoy a big read (or a long road to 'the end'!) I have just the thing....

For readers who love a fat book / binge read / long road to 'the end' 😉, I've boxed up the three novels in my LONG ROAD rural romance series, being The Long Road to Loving Grayson, The Long Road to Loving Jackson, and my most recent release, The Long Road to Loving Mitchell.

The box set is available now - binge reading over the holidays anyone? 😁 Or you can find the individual books in ebook and paperback at your favourite online retailer.

Share the romantic journeys of three resourceful women as they travel the long road to happiness through remote and ruggedly beautiful parts of Australia, and meet (maybe even fall in love with 😍) some fair dinkum, colourful characters along the way. 

Here's what some reviewers have had to say about the books in the series:

'Uplifting and fun, The Long Road to Loving Jackson is an emotive and enjoyable romantic adventure with plenty of horses and heart.’ – Readers' Favourite reviewer KC Finn

'Fans of Nicholas Sparks will find much to love about The Long Road to Loving Mitchell.' - Readers' Favourite reviewer P Deka
