Synopsis

Seth is back.



When he walked back into my life, it almost felt like the pieces of my broken heart could be fixed. I thought we could go back to being best friends, but then I started to feel what I had been blocking out for years. I tried. Boy, did I try! But once I started to let him in, I wanted nothing more than to cross that line from friendship into something more…



Just when I think I can move on and let myself be happy, an ugly reminder from my past comes storming in and threatens to destroy the sliver of hope that's been growing since Seth came back.



Do I even deserve to be loved?



“I’m not asking to fix your heart. I’m not asking to mend you. I love each and every shattered piece of you. I’m asking that you let me love you. Let me love each piece of your broken heart, and I swear to you I will make up for every heartache you have ever experienced.”



I came back for Josie.



I knew I'd have to fight for her, but with the loss of her dad and the truth about what happened with her and Blake, I quickly realized that making her mine was going to be a lot harder than I first thought. The problem is, I can’t pretend like she’s just my best friend. I can’t pretend I don’t want more.



I'm willing to do anything to get her to admit she has the same passionate feelings for me, because I know once she opens up and stops lying to herself, I can show her what it really means to be loved. It's a battle of wills, but my love for her is stronger than her will to stop me.



So I fight for her. I fight because I know she deserves it.

THE AXMAN OF NEW ORLEANS by Chuck Hustmyre

 THE AXMAN OF NEW ORLEANS
by: Chuck Hustmyre

NEW ORLEANS, 1919. For nearly a decade, a ruthless killer has prowled the streets of this city, breaking into homes and hacking people to death with an ax. His victims have included men, women, even a child. He leaves few clues, and no one can stop him. Even his motives are unclear. The police seem baffled. Is he a vendetta agent or a bloodthirsty maniac? Echoing Jack the Ripper from three decades earlier, the killer even writes a letter to a local newspaper and refers to himself as a "demon from hottest hell."

But Detective Colin Fitzgerald, a wounded Army veteran who recently returned from The Great War, is prepared to do whatever it takes to catch the Axman. What Fitzgerald is not prepared for are the shocking secrets his investigation will uncover, secrets that stretch to the top levels of the Police Department and City Hall, and reach back decades to the assassination of a legendary police chief and even to the murder of Fitzgerald's own father.

Footprints
by: Nicky Jayne

Standing by she watches her father leave board the huge grey beast. Taking him to who knows where. As a young girl, her mother raised her whilst her father was away at war. A single mother of sorts.

She saw familiar faces come and go, Flags wave in the breeze, Engines growl as they shut down. Each time the faces grew less and less.

Tragedy struck, leaving Riley and her mother to fend for themselves. Life was not easy. His memory covered the walls. The flag still hangs proud from the stark white walls.

She vowed she would never fall in love with a military man, she purposely steered clear of their nightly haunts. Until one day,

Not Alone by: Amber Nation

Not Alone
by: Amber Nation

Emmalynne Morgan thought that getting married to her High School sweetheart and starting a family was all she wanted in life. Everything was perfect until circumstances change and devastating blows occur.

Fast forward five years, Emmalynne thinks she is broken, not only emotionally but physically as well, so her confidence was severely lacking. Being a single mother to her son, Tucker, as well as an owner of a small town Bookstore, she does everything she can to keep men at arms-length, not thinking she is worthy anymore with her plus-sized body and scars.

Taking it upon themselves, Emmalynne's best friends, Toby and Tessa make it their mission to bring her out of her tight-knitted comfort zone. That is when she locks eyes on the male perfection that is Grady.

Grady Finnegan was the gorgeous new guy in town. Recently injured and discharged from the Army, Grady comes to his Uncle’s aid in helping manage the family bar. Not being anywhere near innocent when it comes to women, Grady meets Emmalynne and he knows one thing, that he wants her.

Sparks fly and passion ignites, but will that be enough? Not ready to lay her heart on the line, Emmalynne guards it as best she can and ultimately fails. When chaos erupts and Grady's past comes back to haunt him, it leaves Emmalynne's already broken heart, shattered.

Will past circumstances prevent Emmalynne from having the future she deserves? Or can Grady help her follow her heart and show her that she is Not Alone.

Spark by: Jennifer Ryder

Spark
by: Jennifer Ryder

Not many people know, that I, Eevie Lawson, have a problem. An addiction. To Romance novels. I eat them for breakfast. I hide it the best I can, but I need them. To breathe. It’s how I cope.

I have a swag of book boyfriends, but now I’m free of the responsibility of caring for my three younger brothers, it’s time to find one in the flesh.

In real life, no girl meets their hero on page one, or even chapter one. I should know.

My journey is real. It’s not perfect, and it sure as hell isn’t easy. But the fight for something worthwhile never is.














Author Bio:


I’m an Aussie girl in my dirty-thirties (my prime if you ask me), and I’m married to a man who can put any book boyfriend to shame. With our two young cherubs, we live on a rural property a couple of hours from Sydney, Australia.

In my working life, I’ve been a Manager at McDonalds, Butcher’s assistant (that lasted all of one shift), a barista in Parliament House, a Security Guard, a Real Estate Property Manager and a Paralegal.

I don’t just write though (although I’d love to), I also work full-time as a Public Servant, so as you can imagine, with my writing and family, sleep is hard to come by! At least this way I can fund my addiction to Vistaprint and endless TBR pile!

The Hacker Series by Meredith Wild

Hardwired (The Hacker Series #1)
by Meredith Wild


(The Hacker Series #1) Determined to overcome a difficult past, Erica Hathaway learns early on to make it on her own. Days after her college graduation, she finds herself face to face with a panel of investors who will make or break her fledgling startup. The only thing she didn’t prepare for was going weak in the knees over an arrogant and gorgeous investor who seems determined to derail her presentation.

Billionaire and rumored hacker Blake Landon has already made his fortune in software, and he’s used to getting what he wants. Captivated by Erica’s drive and unassuming beauty, he’s wanted nothing more than to possess her since she stepped into his boardroom. Determined to win her over, he breaks down her defenses and fights for her trust, even if it means sacrificing a level of control he’s grown accustomed to.

But when Blake uncovers a dark secret from Erica’s past, he threatens not just her trust, but the life she’s fought so hard to create.

The Only Reason for the London Season, What the Duke Wants, To Refuse a Rake, Pursued, and Beyond Broken by Kristin Vayden

The Only Reason for the London Season
by Kristin Vayden


Sometimes love needs a little push in the right direction. Or a good and proper shove. At least that’s what Dianna Trowl believes, profusely, or else she’d never have done what she did. It would have been foolish, it would have been a scandal, if…it hadn’t of worked. But it did, and sometimes the price to pay for a gentleman’s attention is worth every penny. And convincing Lord Southridge to believe in love at first sight? Priceless.







What the Duke Wants 
by Kristin Vayden

What the duke wants….
Is not three young ladies for wards.
Nor is the responsibility for finding them a governess.
Thankfully that is delegated to his housekeeper, who he might add is blind as a bat.
That really could be the only excuse she has for hiring Carlotta. 
Because Carlotta is far too beautiful to be a governess.
Temptress, yes. 
Unable to restrain himself, (because restrain is not one of his virtues, his reputation is testament of that fact) he fines the young governess far more spirited, opinionated and tempting than he is able to resist.
And of course, because he’s an idiot. He falls in love.
Never questioning whether she’d be a willing participant.
Of course life isn’t’ that easy, not even when you’re a bloody duke. 
And after one meddling Lady Southridge, 
leads to two fiascos, 
making wards decide to take matters into their own hands.
There’s only one thing to do.
Because what the duke wants…is simply to fall in love ( preferable with the young woman in mind, falling in love too)




To Refuse a Rake
by Kristin Vayden

Emma has sworn off love. After all, it is pointless to subject oneself to such torture when in the end, heartbreak is inevitable. Just like her sister had suffered. So, when Lord Daventry, the muddy brown-eyed boy from her childhood, returns to society she refuses to even look at him... well, maybe she'll look once. Or twice. But only because his eyes have changed into the most decadent color of dark chocolate. And his tanned skin from his travels is distracting, especially paired with his wide and devilish grin. The stirring of her blood from his hot whisper in her ear is nothing... at least that's what she tells herself. Lord Daventry has one response to marriage. Drink Brandy. Especially when his mother decides it is time for him to produce an heir. Reluctantly, he attends his first ball since returning from India, swearing to head to White's shortly after the first dance. However, he is pleasantly surprised to discover that Miss Emma Kingsly, the same girl he tried to kiss when she was nine, is still unmarried. Her frigid demeanor should have warned him off... but unable to ignore a challenge, he plunges in head first... never expecting to
fall in love with the one woman in the ton completely set against marriage.




Pursued 
by Kristin Vayden

When everything falls apart, you’re faced with two choices. Do you lose your faith or do you really begin to live it? For Abby, she chooses to walk by faith, and in turn God takes the smoldering ashes of her world and begins to bring her to life. Levi Jensen was waiting for the right woman. He’d made his share of mistakes and refused to settle for just anyone. But he never thought God would bring him a petite blonde with two children. But Levi soon learns that God’s plans are always better than our own. God created romance. Abby and Levi learn first hand, that through difficulties, hardship and mistakes, God brings about beauty for ashes. He always writes the best love stories. The kind that last forever.





Beyond Broken 
by Kristin Vayden 

He was searching for hope in a world that offered him everything. With his life spiraling out of control, he sought salvation at a rehab center, never expecting to find light after admitting all the darkness he carried. The last thing he needed, was to fall in love. But sometimes we can't choose who we love--it chooses us. And that's what she did; she chose him, mind, body, and soul. And he was helpless in love's grasp. She knew his name spelled trouble, but was unable to distance her heart until it was too late, until it already deep within his grasp. Sometimes, even when you want to help those you love, even when you have the best intentions--they have to love themselves enough to want to change. Nobody ever said love was easy, and for them? The battle has just begun. **Beyond Broken is a NA romance with a very strong inspirational thread. However, it is still not considered a religious or inspirational romance because of the elemental theme of drug abuse, sex, and strong language**





Author Bio:
Kristin's inspiration for the romance she writes comes from her tall, dark and handsome husband with killer blue eyes. With five children to chase, she is never at a loss for someone to kiss, something to cook or some mess to clean but she loves every moment of it! She loves to make soap, sauerkraut, sourdough bread and gluten free muffins. Life is full of blessings and she praises God for the blessed and abundant life He's given her.

That's a Promise by: Victoria Klahr

That's a Promise 
by: Victoria Klahr

Happily ever after doesn’t exist. Not just in the romantic sense, but in the sense that there will never be a point in life that will contain no more obstacles. 

Josie Sommers is a nerdy twenty four year old, elementary school teacher who has always considered herself a strong person. But with the loss of a loved one and the return of someone she vowed to never see again, her strength starts to break. 

When he betrayed her in the ultimate way, she never thought she would let him back into her life, let alone open herself up to falling back in love with him. 

Plagued with resentment and the burden of her own dishonesty, 
Josie has to decide if forgiving and coming clean is worth the risk of losing him again. With so many hurdles, we know that Josie’s story is no fairytale. 

That’s a promise




This book is book one in a three part series, so not all matters are resolved at the end of the novel. 
It is also meant for ages 18+ due to yummy adult content ;)

She learns she has a half-sister, she has the chance to inherit millions, and her name is really Angelina. Brett Hamilton, CPA, is assigned to help Ann spend a lot of money in a short period of time. As soon as his ‘assignment’ with her is over, he’s headed to Peru to be a missionary, something he’s felt called to do his whole life.

Author Bio: 
I was born and raised in Southern California where I still live with my husband and son. I don't surf, act, or live in Los Angeles, despite what those damn commercials advertise. My California is nothing like that. I love being home with my son, reading and writing romance, and eating Mexican food. I love beer and the occasional margarita. I was a veterinary technician for 10 years before becoming a stay at home mom, but will always be an animal lover. We have two boxers, Bosco and Jack, and one cat named Phoebe.
