Writing Swoon-Worthy Alpha-Marshmallows

A Signature style writing in pink of my name, Kat Long with a pink heart in the middle and the tagline "swoon-worthy alpha marshmallows"

ABOUT KAT.

I live at the beach with my very own Happily Ever Always, a daughter, and two very irritating but adorable cats. I wasn't always writing Contemporary Romance. In fact, until I started working from home, I hadn't given it a second thought! 

Back in 2018, I had a dream about my boss, a band, and oranges! The dream slowly took shape, and behold, a story was born!

 

I write strong, confident heroines, and badass, alpha males with melty centers. Also known as an Alpha-Marshmallow.

al·pha - marsh·mal·low

/ˈalfə/ - /ˈmärSHˌmelō/

By day, I'm in finance, and by night, an author. When I'm not writing, I'm reading any romance I can get my hands on, watching Animal Planet in yoga pants, trying not to over-water my succulents, and wondering if the meaning of life is forty-two.

REVIEWS.

 Can’t get enough of this series!

I love how Kat can pull me into the story line even when I’m thinking I will just read for a few minutes. This book is so great I struggled to put it down! 12/10 recommend By Your Side. Also if you haven’t read ‘Had to make you mine’ by Kat Long it’s amazing as well and goes along with this series.

Had To Make You Mine (Southern Charms Book 1) .

She lost her music.

Then she lost everything else. Without her band and her best friend, Annaleigh Mackey decides it's time to focus on her career. Then her surly new boss crashes into her life, and she finds herself distracted in ways she can't resist. Maxwell Jackson is a commanding presence in the boardroom, but that's nothing compared to the way he's dominating her thoughts.

He's starting over.

New city, new job, and no distractions. Then his new assistant walks through the door, a beautiful diversion from his plans. Maxwell Jackson doesn't want to spend his time unraveling Annaleigh's secrets, and he certainly shouldn't want her. Not in the boardroom, on his desk, or against his office door. But he can't stay away, and she's fast becoming his obsession.

As their passion consumes them, old secrets surface that could ruin everything. Will Annaleigh and Maxwell be strong enough to make it through? Or is this just another office fling, destined to fail?

Heading 1

By Your Side .

Tattooed. Jacked. Gruff.
Three things that make Officer Handsome—sorry, Hansen—irresistible.

It wouldn’t be much of a problem if he wasn’t my new roommate, and completely unavailable.

Every day I need to remind myself I don’t have time for a relationship. I have a clinic to run, animals to save, and a job offer to consider.

 

But the day I walk in on him half-naked, all bets are off.

He says it can’t last—his lips tell a different story. The way they feel on my skin is addicting.Beneath his grumpy exterior, he has a huge… ahem… heart, and a family that means everything.

In a month, his house will be finished, and he’ll be gone. But every night we’re together makes me want to wake up in his arms every morning.

We agreed this was only a temporary fling.

But what if temporary is meant to last forever?
