Publisher: EverAfter Romance
Genre: Contemporary romance / new adult
Alessandra Torre is an award-winning New York Times bestselling author of ten novels. Her latest release, Moonshot, hit the Combined Print and E-Book bestseller list and E-Book Fiction bestseller list in late July. It tells the story of Tyler, the daughter of a baseball legend, who has loved baseball all her life. At the age of seventeen, she’s the ball girl for the New York Yankees when she meets and falls for Chase. But then the team starts losing, and women start dying.
When asked what contributed to her book landing on the NYT bestseller list, Torre said: “Consistency in my novels. My reader base has grown with each of my books, and Moonshot was right up their alley; with a combination of romance, sex and suspense, it spoke to most of my loyal readers, and they jumped to purchase it on pub day. I also had a strong push from blogs who read early copies and raved about it—that helped a lot of new readers make the decision to hit that buy-it-now button.”
