Between Heartbreak and Happiness, the third novel from Sarka-Jonae Miller and Booktrope, came out on May 13, sharing its launch day with two of the author's inspirations: Michael Jackson and Lea Michele. The novel is dedicated to the late King of Pop, whom SJ never got to meet, though she did meet Lea Michele at an album signing earlier this year. SJ chose May 13 as her launch date because she figured that it might be the only chance she'd have to share a release date with MJ. So far, the novel hasn't hit #1 in 63 countries like Xscape, but she's hopeful it'll be a fan favorite. Get Between Heartbreak and Happiness on Amazon | Barnes & Noble

It's been three years since twenty-five-year-old Jan Weston swore off men, and her resolve isn't what it used to be. When a family emergency diverts her travel companion to LA, a fun semester abroad in Bangkok turns into a lonely trip for one. Although she's supposed to be studying international business at Thammasat University along with Thai massage at the famous Wat Pho, Jan finds herself studying her teacher, especially his cute butt.


But she isn't just hot for teacher. Jan also meets an athletic Italian ready to show her a good time and an artistic Thai man who says all the right things. Can she resist the allure of dating abroad? Could she even choose which of the three she wants between the sheets? And if she does give in, can what happens in Bangkok stay in Bangkok?


As Jan struggles to finish her education amidst so many distractions, she must also deal with the loss of a friend, a deep betrayal, and news of a death in the family that could lead to an overdue reconciliation. BETWEEN THE SHEETS is a sensual story of making mistakes, overcoming obstacles, and finding love in the strangest of places.

Determined to get her life back on track, Jan decides it's time to make it on her own. Can she find her way as a single lady in San Diego?
