Atalanta Street Press

Thank goodness for books.

About

Atalanta Street Press is the imprint for producing and publishing the work of Amazon Best Selling author, Carmine Valentine. The team consists of the author and the professionals we’re fortunate to work with for beautifully designed covers, copy editing, and the branding and marketing of her books.

Fun fact on how the name of the imprint came to be. Atalanta was an intriguing figure in Greek mythology, known for her strength, independence, and defiance of stereotypical gender roles. Although Atalanta wasn’t interested in love–unlike the heroines in Carmine’s novels–it was her determination to be true to herself that we admire in this myth of a female legend. Some of what Atalanta embodied shows up in Carmine’s heroines, whether it’s their strength in taking care of themselves or their bravery in seeking out answers to a mystery or being the first to say, ‘I love you.’ Or maybe a bit of her is in the author, or in every entrepreneurial spirit who takes their own path rather than follow traditional norms.

One Step Over the Mistletoe Line

By Carmine Valentine

Second Edition

A cozy cabin, hot chocolate, and two hearts that belong together. They just need to take that step over the mistletoe line.

To avoid one man when she has feelings for another, Claire takes drastic measures to avoid Christmas.

But her escape plan to clear her head goes awry when a snowstorm sends the man on her mind, RJ, to her hideout. RJ is seeking shelter after a failed attempt to pursue a crook in a Santa suit who stole his new dog, Rosco.

As if Christmas Eve in the cold Cascade Mountains couldn’t get any more dangerous with a manhunt underway for the puppy-stealing bad Santa, Claire’s heart is in hazardous territory as she weighs the consequences of telling her friend RJ of her feelings for him and risk destroying their friendship.

Or is it possible that RJ feels the same way?

A short and sweet holiday romance set in the Pacific Northwest.
