Julie Cohen

Hi, welcome to my website. I write funny, emotional, sexy stories for Little Black Dress and Harlequin Mills & Boon, in between my ongoing and largely fruitless search for Zen-like Clam–er, Calm.

If you’d like news of my latest and upcoming releases, please send me an email using the contact button above.

Meanwhile, pop by my blog and see what I’m freaking out about today.

“Julie Cohen is such an entertaining writer - her work is smart and sparky, clever and involving.

Honey Trap

HONEY TRAP

Headline Little Black Dress, July 2008

Sophie Tennant is used to sticky situations…

Because Sophie used to be a private investigator, setting honey traps for husbands and giving wives ground for divorce. But these days she’s an aromatherapist–an aromatherapist who’s going on tour with a rock band, baby!

Which is all good, until she recognises the band’s bassist, Dominick Steele: her first honey trap, and the man who taught her she has a lethal attraction to bad boys. But her attraction’s not half as lethal as the vengeful spouse who suddenly seems to be following her!

Will there be a sweet ending–or a sting in the tale?

 

 

 

One Night Stand

ONE NIGHT STAND

Headline Little Black Dress, October 2007 (hardback), January 2008 (paperback)

“A clever, funny, and oh-so-sexy novel”Look magazine

Eleanor Connor has written seventeen steamy novels, but sadly her own life is more mundane. In fact, the nearest she’s come to passion for ages is having to listen through the thin walls of her house as friend and neighbour Hugh seduces an endless stream of women.

But then Eleanor has a one-night fling of her own, waking up alone, repentant, and as she later realises, pregnant. Desperate to find her missing lover, if only to tell him he’s going to be a father, she enlists Hugh to help her search. But should she be looking closer to home to find out what it is she really needs?

Mistress in Private

MISTRESS IN PRIVATE

Harlequin Presents Extra, April 2008

“Julie Cohen pens a delectably sexy story about overcoming inner demons and finding out what matters most in life.” Romance Junkies

“Wow! Ms. Cohen is a delight to read. Her characters are realistic and funny and fantastic to get to know.” –5 stars, recommended read, Fallen Angel Reviews

She wasn’t the kind of girl gorgeous men flirted with. She was plain Jane Miller–great at her job, organized, efficient, sensible. Except that every time she met Jay’s deep blue eyes, she knew he wanted her. And she wanted him–the guy was seriously sexy! Perhaps it was time to let go for a change, and have the time of her life!

After all, all work and no play makes Jane a very dull girl…

 

His For the Taking

HIS FOR THE TAKING

Harlequin Presents…Nights of Passion collection, February 2008

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2008 RNA ROMANCE PRIZE

“Not only a fun road trip, but a delightful trip to love” Romantic Times, 4 stars

When New York City cab driver Zoe Drake finds a tall, dark and brooding man on her doorstep, she doesn’t know what to think–does he want something, or has Christmas come early this year?

Nick Giroux is looking for his long-lost father–not a newfound woman! But as she helps him in his search, there’s something about him that makes Zoe let down her ice-cool defenses. The simmering attraction is too much, and for one night only, she’s his for the taking…

But after a night like that, can Nick ever let her go?
