<i>Steppin Into The Good Life</i> by Tia McCollors is a fantastic book about a young woman who is trying to learn how to live life as a new Christian. This is a great subject considering some people have a really difficult time finding a balance after finding Christianity. It shows how it's not impossible to live life normally without having to make too many drastic changes. Sometimes it's difficult to be around people who don't share your new beliefs, but this yound woman found a way to make this happen. Christianity is not all about harsh rules and regulations. Chriatianity is a positive addition to life, and this book takes us on that journey. I really enjoyed it, and definitely recommend it.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Author</strong>: Bill Schweigart</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Genre:</strong> Urban Fantasy / Horror</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fans of Stephen King and Bentley Little will devour <em>The Beast of Barcroft, </em>Bill Schweigart’s brilliant new vision of dark suburban horror. Ben thought he had the neighbor from hell. He didn’t know how right he was. . . .</span></strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ben McKelvie believes he’s moving up in the world when he and his fiancée buy a house in the cushy Washington, D.C., suburb of Barcroft. Instead, he’s moving down—<em>way</em> down—thanks to Madeleine Roux, the crazy neighbor whose vermin-infested property is a permanent eyesore and looming hazard to public health.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First, Ben’s fiancée leaves him; then, his dog dies, apparently killed by a predator drawn into Barcroft by Madeleine’s noxious menagerie. But the worst is yet to come for Ben, for he’s not dealing with any ordinary wild animal. This killer is something much, much worse. Something that couldn’t possibly exist—in this world.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, as a devilish creature stalks the locals, Ben resolves to take action. With some grudging assistance from a curator at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and the crackpot theories of a self-styled cryptozoologist, he discovers the sinister truth behind the attacks, but knowing the Beast of Barcroft and stopping it are two different animals.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1449216332866_5908" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Ben attended the next neighborhood meeting at the Barcroft Community House. The neighborhood was in an uproar. The local councilwoman, dressed in a power suit and a brittle smile, attempted to calm the riled crowd. “I hear all of your concerns, but if everyone does their part—”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv7498260778" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1449216332866_5148" style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1449216332866_5906" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">A tall man with a southern accent stood up. “Ma’am, all due respect, this is bullshit. Let’s call a spade a spade here. We all know the problem is stemming from one individual. The only question is: What are you going to do about it?”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv7498260778" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1449216332866_5148" style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1449216332866_5904" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">“Again, I empathize with you, but the county can only cite an individual when complaints are made. The individual has thirty days to comply or a fine will be levied.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv7498260778" style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It was maddening. After the meeting, Ben introduced himself to the seething tall man by telling him his address. His neighbor’s face went from seething to incredulous. “Wait a minute, you’re the next-door neighbor?”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv7498260778" style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It was a legitimate question, Ben thought. It was his first meeting. He had spent the spring traveling back and forth to New Jersey, tending to his ailing father. When his father finally succumbed to the cancer, he suddenly found himself with time to fill and plenty of anger to burn. Since there was no breezy way to tell the man all of that, he said nothing. It was a rhetorical question anyway.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Jim introduced Ben to the rest of the neighbors on 3rd Street South, who were thrilled to have another join their ranks against Madeleine. They pumped him for information, and Ben was frustrated enough to share everything he knew. They were also eager to gossip about their own horror stories with her. The knot of neighbors pieced together her history for Ben. She had come from Seattle about ten years before, and at first, she was lovely. She was a practicing psychiatrist, until she began self-medicating. Then came harder drugs, eventually leading to her license being revoked. “After that,” said Jim, “she became a licensed raccoon rehabilitator.”</span></span></div>

<div class="yiv7498260778" style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">“Whenever a raccoon gets run over or something and leaves behind babies, she takes them in. How you get a permit for this in Arlington, three miles from the damn Fourteenth Street Bridge . . .” He threw up his hands</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Jim’s wife, Lisa, a nurse, leaned in. “I’m not supposed to say this, but she comes into my emergency room every couple of months to be treated for animal bites. Raccoons are not friendly.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv7498260778" style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">A white-haired man named Stuart, tall and stooped, raised his hand to continue where Jim had left off. He had piercing blue eyes, and as he extended his finger to continue, there was just enough of a flourish to capture Ben’s attention and he suddenly remembered seeing the man at the summer block party, performing a magic show for the neighborhood children. He liked him instantly. “With the alcohol and street drugs, she started sideswiping cars. And she fed the birds beyond all common sense. She’d just dump a bag of seed on her front lawn and every chipmunk, rat, and rabbit in the D.C. metro area came to 3rd Street. Foxes too! One turned out to be rabid and the county had to come out and put it down. We all banded together and knocked on her door, begging her to see the light, but she kicked us off her property and put up a fence instead.”</span></span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1449216332866_5884" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Stuart nodded.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bill Schweigart is a former Coast Guard officer who has drawn from his experiences at sea to write the taut nautical thriller, Slipping The Cable. Schweigart’s debut is a modern entry to the rich tradition of the sea novel: everyone is confined aboard ship, tensions run high, and the setting itself is deadly, but not nearly as deadly as his characters. If you have ever suffered an impossible boss, ever wanted to fall off the grid and start over fresh, or just wanted to lose yourself in a high seas and high stakes adventure, Slipping The Cable is a must read.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>RULES OF PAYNE –</strong></span><br />
<em>***<strong>WARNING</strong> - Steamy Sex Scenes - Cake addiction - Incorrect usage of the word Potatoes***</em></div>
Morgana Drake has some problems in her life. She has a boss she hates but can’t stop fantasizing about him. As she puts her focus into getting into the company’s Executive Development Program she finds only one thing standing in her way, you guessed it – her boss, Henrik Payne.<br />
<br />
Henrik Payne is very serious about his job. He has worked hard for over ten years to become VP of Sales and Marketing and make Mimir the third largest online retailer. He has rules he follows to make sure the company and his life run smoothly.<br />
So, why does he keep breaking all his rules?<br />
<br />

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>RULES OF PAYNE 2: Electric Boogaloo –</strong></span><br />
<em>***<strong>WARNING</strong> – More Steamy Sex Scenes – Mile High sex that can’t be unread and Dirty Condom Wrappers used as lucky charms***</em></div>
Morgana Drake has had a taste of Payne and finds she likes it in more ways than one, but she still has a few problems.<br />
<br />
Henrik Payne knows what he has to do. In the process he realizes he is too selfish for his own good, and the good of others. He’s also discovers his rules suck balls. He has made a new list.<br />
<br />
Henrik and Morgana have gotten caught. Now what?<br />
Do they get fired? Do they stay together? Where does cake fall in all of this? Read this and find out!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>THE PAYNE IN THE BLOG –</strong></span><br />You have now read the <em>Rules of Payne</em> and <em>Rules of Payne</em> 2 and find an unusual craving for cake? It happens. But you also find out you want so much more. Things that were referenced in the Rules of Payne books, you have to know how it all went down. Well, you are in luck! Get the ‘behind the scenes’ so to speak with this collection of character blog posts. The very first post being the moment Morgana and Henrik first met!</div>
The posts lead directly up to where the book begins. Here’s what Morgana has to say about it:<br />
<br />
<em>***<strong>WARNING</strong> - Real Blog Posts - Sex Scenes - Copious amounts of Cake***</em><br />
<br />
I love cake. Wait, wait, let me start again.... My Boss is an a**hole but mind numbingly gorgeous. That didn't sound right either. Scratch this (note to author – do not put this in the blurb).<br />
<br />
My name is Morgana Drake, I write a blog. You may have heard of it, The Payne in the Blog (same as the title of this book, clever huh!). No? Oh well -- you will trust me! I may just be Mr. Henrik Payne’s assistant now, but soon I will be running the company.<br />
<br />
How do I know? I can feel it in my bones. There is only one problem, my boss. They don’t just call him the Payne for nothing. He’s a jerk and I hate him! Then why do I keep fantasizing about him? Seriously, I think I need help.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I look back to where Henrik and Ms. Slut were and now they’re gone. My eyes dart around and I see them crossing the street and heading straight toward us. He hasn't seen me and I wonder if maybe I should hide and then follow him. He followed me in New York, so now I can do the same to him. Find out if he is with her or if they just work together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I quickly dash behind a parked car beside the curb as Aria watches me. She nods in acknowledgment and runs back inside the sandwich shop as she watches through the glass window. I gasp as the car starts and exhaust fumes blast into my face. I have to close my eyes as I gag and cough. Then the car pulls away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Morgana?" Henrik’s deep voice calls over to me, and I look up to see him tilting his head with the blonde at his side.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p>I look frantically down on the ground and see a dirty wrapper, which I quickly grab as I stand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"There it is." I shake my head and chuckle as I walk over to Henrik. I raise the shiny metallic paper in my hand letting them know I found what I was apparently searching for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Fell out of my hand. Thought I lost my lucky..." I examine it closely and discover it's a condom wrapper. Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath before I open them to see Henrik as he tries to cover a laugh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Your lucky what, Morgana?" His shoulders are shaking and his hand is now covering his mouth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Smug bastard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Condom wrapper! My lucky condom wrapper. I mean, come on, doesn't everyone have a lucky something? If you think about it, what is worse, a lucky rabbit's foot, which is morbid by the way, or the wrapper from the condom you lost your virginity to?" I raise my brows and nod as if this makes total sense. But as I hear myself, I realize how disgusting I sound. When I glance over at the blonde who is now looking at me like I have the bubonic plague, my suspicions are confirmed: I am revolting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I drop the wrapper and wipe my hand on my jeans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Your lucky wrapper is blowing away Morgana!" Henrik pretends like he is trying to catch it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

About Elizabeth Lynx</h2>
<a href="http://indiesage.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Elizabeth-Lynx.jpg"><img alt="Elizabeth Lynx" class="wp-image-11190 aligncenter" src="http://indiesage.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Elizabeth-Lynx.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
Elizabeth Lynx is not a robot, that’s for sure. At least she says she’s not. She is also not a space alien. How do I know this, because she was born in Baltimore Maryland in the 1970’s when no one wanted to be in Baltimore Maryland so why would her parents say that if it weren't true. Of course she has had her suspicions growing up and is still in a continual search for evidence that backs up her space age theories.<br />
<br />
To bide her time she writes about ‘normal’ people and their sexy romantic lives. Her husband chooses to put up with her theories and paranoid musings. Her two little boys help her see that perhaps she isn't an alien but more of a climbing rock. This theory is new, so she needs more time to develop it further.<br />

<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">Ben Williams is the mistake I will always regret, but will never stop making.</span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">He and I have a long and storied history. We were the kind of tumultuous romance that makes for one hell of a cautionary tale. Together, we had a cyclical thing, and the cycle always begins something like this:</span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">When I’m emotionally vulnerable, Ben shows up looking like sex on a stick, acting like I always hoped that he would. Caring, like he actually gives a shit about what’s going on in my life. Loving, like he wants the two of us to be happy this time around. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">I’m at a low point right now, so of course he knocks on my door out of the blue. This is the way things work between us. Or, it’s the way things <i>worked </i>between us. I haven’t seen Ben in nearly five years.</span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">When I see him standing on the front porch of my brownstone, the surprise is overtaken by a quick wave of familiar desire. He’s dressed casually, like he came over here on a whim. Low-slung jeans, a dark shirt, his hair tousled and messy, like he’s been running his fingers through it all day. God, he looks good, and that is absolutely terrible news for me and my willpower. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">Ever since Ben and I met, I’ve been attracted to him on a</span><i><span lang="IT" style="line-height: 120%;"> cellular</span></i><span style="line-height: 120%;"> level. I’m fine as long as we’re apart, but the second we’re in the same vicinity, every fiber of my being is drawn to him. Even now—even though we haven’t spoken since I broke up with him for the last, devastating time—I feel the pull. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">It’s that pull that makes me open the door, even though I know I shouldn’t. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">I can’t resist him. I’ve tried - it’</span><span lang="FR" style="line-height: 120%;">s impossible. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="line-height: 120%;">“</span><span lang="FR" style="line-height: 120%;">Marisa,</span><span style="line-height: 120%;">” he breathes on an inhale, looking at me like he’s surprised I’m standing right in front of him. Like I might not be real, like maybe he dreamed me up. </span><span lang="DE" style="line-height: 120%;">“</span><span style="line-height: 120%;">How are you?” His blue eyes are dark, and he speaks so softly, like he’s worried he’s going to scare me away. I haven’t been a part of a gentle, kind conversation in a long time. It’s that gentleness in his voice that makes me want to cry, and I’ve done such a good job of avoiding that lately. I’m certainly not going to allow myself to do it around him. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">I’ve managed to keep it together for the most part since my family fell apart in the most scandalous, public way possible. We’re tabloid fodder; papers with our names and faces on them are everywhere. The destruction and downfall of the Blake dynasty is impossible to miss in this city. Some people are delighting in it, and I don’t blame them. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">Turns out that my mother and father—the illustrious Gloria and James—aren’t the people that my sister and I thought they were. They’re exactly who the Feds thought they were, though, given the incredibly damning case they’ve built up against Mom and Dad, details of which are all over the evening news these days. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">That’s why Ben is here, I’m sure of it. This is what he does: he shows up when I’m feeling low, and somehow manages to leave me feeling even lower. Still, he’s one of a very few friends—past or present—who has contacted me since this scandal broke, so I’m reluctant to send him away. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">Plus, that whole can’t-resist-him thing is still in play here.</span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">So, Ben wants to know how I’m doing? </span><span lang="DE" style="line-height: 120%;">“</span><span style="line-height: 120%;">Not well,” I tell him. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">He holds out a bottle of my favorite wine and says, </span><span lang="DE" style="line-height: 120%;">“</span><span style="line-height: 120%;">I was going to wait until the Murphy benefit to talk to you, but I read something this morning that made me think that I shouldn’t wait.” </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">I let out a short little sigh of relief, glad that he decided not to rehash whatever terrible thing he read about my family this morning that made him think that he needed to check in on me. The very last thing I want to hear about tonight is my parents. At this point, I feel like I could do without hearing about them ever again. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="DE" style="line-height: 120%;">“</span><span style="line-height: 120%;">Do you want to talk about it?” Ben asks. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">I shake my head. I don’t want to talk about it, especially not with him. Besides, talking? That’s not what Ben and I do. We fuck, and then I try to turn that into some kind of a relationship. I give it my all, but he inevitably cheats on me, and breaks my heart. Then he begs me for forgiveness, and asks for another chance. Like a fool, I always give him one. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">Always</span><i><span lang="DA" style="line-height: 120%;"> gave</span></i><span lang="DA" style="line-height: 120%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 120%;">him one. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">I’ve learned my lesson, and now I’m smart enough to know that I can only rely on Ben for mind-blowing orgasms. He’s amazing in bed. Out of it? Not so much. Whenever I expect or hope for anything more from him, I get my heart broken, and I can’t handle any more heartbreak right now. His body was the only thing that he ever freely gave to me, and sex with him had been almost…</span><i><span lang="IT" style="line-height: 120%;">transcendent</span></i><span style="line-height: 120%;">. Ben always used sex to make me feel better, so there’s no doubt in my mind that’s what he’s here for tonight. There’s no use in trying for anything more when that only ever ends badly for me. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 120%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 441.85pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 120%;">So, I decide to take the few hours of bliss that Ben is offering to me, and leave it at that. </span><span style="line-height: 120%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">New York Times and USA Today<br />Bestseller/contemporary romance writer<b><br />Samantha Chase</b>released her debut novel, Jordan's Return, in November 2011.<br />Although she waited until she was in her 40's to publish for the first time,<br />writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her<br />students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up<br />through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing<br />dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When she's not working on a new<br />story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many<br />games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband<br />of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Vixen Williams has always been known as a woman of many faces. The fiercely devoted one she uses for her best friend, the one of a lover and confidant to her fiancé, and the real one she keeps reserved for looking in the mirror and battling her inner demons. Life is fairly normal for Vixen until her verbally abusive mother reenters her life, dredging up traumatic childhood memories, and bringing a handsome stranger into the mix with her devious antics causing Vixen to reprise her role as caregiver and bread winner. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Gino Romano is infamous for many reasons: his notoriety for being one of the youngest king pins in New York City, the cold manner in which he handles business and the notable political ties he's managed to create along the way through “profit sharing.” However, the most prominent thing he is known for is the ice fortress he has built around his heart.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Born and raised in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, Tya Marie has always had an overactive imagination. So much that she would daydream and make up “movies” in her head, which would eventually turn into the stories she would later pen. By the age of twelve Tya decided it was time to take her daydreams to life and began writing young adult novels which helped her hone her skills and provided the literary fix she needed after plowing through her entire book collection. It wasn’t until she reached sixteen that she became intrigued by urban fiction and related to it more than she did the mainstream fiction she binged on. Deciding that she wanted to bring her own heart and soul into the urban fiction genre she penned countless novels and has continued to do so over the past eight years with A Brooklyn Love Affair: Vixen and Gino’s Story being her first published piece. Tya still resides in Brooklyn where she continues to create new love affairs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;"> I was halfway up the stairs to the co-op Trey and I shared with two other families when I heard a heavy </span>click clacking<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;"> of heels followed by a smoke stained cough. Rolling my eyes I turned to find my mother, Mahogany, standing in front of me, hands on her bony hips. She looked fifteen pounds lighter in the loose zebra print dress that swathed her small frame. My lips formed a thin line as I walked back down the stairs to talk with the woman who was responsible for making my early years a living hell.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> I could see Mark, my neighbor, a few blocks down, squinting in our direction. I sucked my teeth and grabbed her arm, pulling her out of his view. “Make that last you tonight and I’ll see what I can do tomorrow,” I said through gritted teeth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “It’s not my fault you’re scared, Vixen,” she continued as if I hadn’t spoken. “You’re scared that all these people in this neighborhood will see you for who you are. ‘Cause no matter how nice your clothes are or how good you look, you ain’t nothing but a whore like me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> I walked away from her and shoved my key into the front door. After a few seconds I heard the sound of her cheap heels click-clacking down the street and knew she was gone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> My heart dropped when I saw where he was sitting. Putting on my brightest smile, I managed a bright, “Hey.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “So,” he said lightly as he got up from the seat we kept by the window. “Who was that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “Just some stupid crackhead bothering me.” I said lightly, walking into the bedroom so he couldn’t see the tears pouring down my cheeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> “She was there for a while.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> I slammed the bathroom door shut, turning on the shower to drown out the sobs that racked my chest. Trey knocked on the door, calling my name. I ignored him, too hurt by my mother’s harsh words to be bothered. The steaming hot water streamed down my face, mixing with my tears as I let go of the tidal wave of emotions that overcame me. My mother was right: behind my expensive clothes I was nothing but a whore and undeserving of a decent man like Trey. He loved me now, but I was sure once Trey knew the real Vixen he would treat her as such.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Authors:</b> Beth and Rick Olsen<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.0pt; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After unspeakable tragedy, one couple must forge their own path to healing in the bittersweet true story, We Never Left You.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.0pt; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One moment, Beth and Rick Olsen were enjoying an ordinary life filled with all the joys and frustrations of raising their two children, Jessica and Joshua. The next moment, a drunk driver plowed through a red light at eighty miles per hour, hitting their van and changing everything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.0pt; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The death of both their children launched Beth and Rick down a long and winding path toward simple survival—and eventual healing. As shock gave way to the cruel reality of their loss, they began receiving messages that proved the existence of life after death—a welcome sign that aided them in moving forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.0pt; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Olsens soon attempted traditional healing methods but quickly found that counseling did nothing to help them get a grasp on their monumental loss. They then turned to nontraditional approaches—a decision that led them to Peru.

The location is perfect. Isolated. Beautiful. Inspiring. It even comes with a good-looking landlord who shows an interest in her. But she can't shake the sense that something terrible has followed her to the lake, something just beyond her consciousness, something out on the edge where the sounds of a raging fire and sirens linger whenever she slows down to listen. Determined to make the cabin work, she tries to settle in and give her new life a chance. But when strange things begin to happen around her, she wonders if she's made a terrible mistake. As the darkness that's followed her manifests itself in inexplicable ways, her concept of reality is stretched thin and she realizes nothing at the lake is what it seems. As she fights to survive with her sanity intact, she understands too late that the location she's chosen for herself is far from perfect.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rachel Ames knows she’s making a terrible mistake, but that’s never stopped her before. Even as she speeds down the empty highway, she’s certain nothing good will come of this trip. She can’t say why she has this belief, only that it’s deeply rooted, part of a visceral animal instinct clawing away at her insides. Call it intuition. Or call it common sense, doesn’t matter. Can’t change the fact that it’s the truth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She refuses to change her destination, even if the rising sense of dread causes her heart to beat right out of her chest. She’s committed, this much is a fact, so she pushes aside all thought of turning around and focuses on the road ahead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She checks the map on her phone, taking comfort in the little blue dot on the screen that symbolizes the exact spot in the world occupied by her aging Honda Accord with faded red paint, bad muffler and squeaking brakes. The dot sails along a straight white line surrounded by an ocean of green. She appreciates the simplicity of the image, the perfection of it. An object moving at a steady rate along a direct path toward a specific destination. No hurdles. No obstacles to navigate. Not even an intersection or a fork in the road. There are only two decisions to make. To continue forward or stop the car and go back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And there’s no chance in hell she’s going back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her two gentlemen passengers are the perfect companions. Silent, good-looking and only there to cater to her whims and needs. They sit together in the seat next to her, sharing the seatbelt. That might have been overdoing it, but strapping them in together makes her laugh, so she forgives herself the indulgence. This is her journey, her time, so acting odd is her prerogative. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Besides, the two of them are the perfect complements. Daniels and Underwood. Booze and typewriter. Soul mates bound by common history and mutual reliance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Underwood typewriter was a great find her sophomore year in college, given to her by Professor McNeely’s widow soon after his very public death from a massive aneurism. It’d happened right in the middle of her creative writing class, just as the old bastard was finally saying something nice about her novel-in-progress. Mid-sentence, he’d slapped a hand to his head, made a small grunt and rolled his eyes back in their sockets. At first, she’d thought he was mocking her work, but then his back arched and he collapsed to the floor. After that came the convulsions, followed by the shit and urine filling his pants as her classmates screamed. Then, as the good book says, the lights went out and Elvis left the building. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But unlike Elvis, the man wasn’t much loved. A taskmaster who hated any writer beside himself, he used critiques as an assault rifle to mow down any young soul with the temerity to attempt the art that, in his mind, belonged only to him and a handful of his peers. Sure there were the appropriate candlelight vigils and the church service to honor the brave soul who died fighting the good fight in his ivory tower, but right under the surface, the humor rolled dark and furious. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>I heard that the last pages he read really blew his mind. </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>You know that saying, would it kill you to say something nice? </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

She<br />settled herself into the couch opposite Iris and tucked her legs up<br />under her bum, her feet disappearing into the folds of her robe.<br />
<br />Iris laughed. ‘Honestly, not all that well. How the hell do you sleep<br />through the racket those dogs make? They were barking all night long!’<br />
<br />Sylvia grinned. ‘I call it the neighbourhood chorus! It only takes one<br />of them to get going and suddenly everyone’s dog is barking and<br />howling into the night.’<br />
<br />‘At one point I thought I heard a bloody cow join in,’ Iris rubbed her<br />eyes. They were hot and sore from fatigue and dust.<br />
<br />‘I know, it’s terrible. But eventually you don’t even hear it anymore.’<br />
<br />Iris shrugged. ‘I’m not so sure that’s possible. It was so loud I<br />thought they were all inside my bedroom at one stage.’<br />
<br />Sylvia laughed again. ‘Come on. Get that coffee in you and get in that<br />shower! I want to show you around town.’<br />
<br />Iris let herself be guided to the bathroom as towels, shampoos, and<br />lotions were loaded into her arms. It felt nice to be mothered a<br />little bit. This was exactly what she needed. A little TLC and someone<br />telling her what to do for a while. Being reminded to shower and eat,<br />being reminded to smile and laugh.<br />
<br />She had to stifle a gasp as her mother opened the door into the<br />bathroom. In her tired stupor the night prior, Iris had collapsed into<br />bed without even seeing the rest of the house. The bathroom, as it<br />turned out, was even smaller than her bedroom. It was a closet. A<br />squat toilet was built into the floor and a shower head hung over the<br />top.<br />
<br />‘I shower on the toilet?’ she asked.<br />
<br />‘Yes, well, over the toilet anyhow,’ Sylvia said, seemingly unaware of<br />Iris’s surprise. ‘I usually find it easier to keep my towel outside<br />the door, else it gets soaked! I’ll leave you to it. Come into the<br />lounge when you’re finished and I’ll have breakfast ready for us.’<br />
<br />Iris grabbed her mother’s wrist as she turned to leave. ‘Thanks, Mum,’<br />she said quietly.<br />
<br />Sylvia paused. ‘For what?’<br />
<br />‘For being my mum and letting me come and recover here for a while.’<br />
<br />Iris felt herself being wrapped tightly in her mother’s arms, her<br />faced squashed into the nape of her neck, and that eternally familiar<br />smell of her mother’s scent filling her nostrils.<br />
<br />‘Baby girl, even if I am a million miles away, I’m still your mum, and<br />my most important job will always be looking after you.’ "</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes you have to trust your heart to find out what home really means.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Duncan McAllister is marrying Elaina Tripoli tomorrow. Except--he's missing. Jordan, Noah, Griffin, Maggie, and Miles arrive in Greece for the festivities to find frantic messages from both the bride and groom.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">But the Americans have their own baggage. Noah's got a surprise planned for Jordan that has to go perfectly. Griffin's keeping life-changing news from Maggie.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Synopsis: </strong><em>Sometimes it takes crossing an ocean to figure out where you belong.</em></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's been two years since twenty-year-old Jordan had a boyfriend—which means it's been forever since she, well, you know. But now she’s off to spend her junior year in Aberdeen, Scotland, the perfect place to stop waiting for Mr. Right and just enjoy Mr. Right Now.<strong><br />
</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sexy, sweet (and possible player) Griffin may be her perfect, no-strings-attached match. He’s fun, gorgeous, and makes her laugh. So why can’t she stop thinking about Noah who, minutes after being trapped together outside the train’s loo, kisses Jordan like she’s never been kissed before? Never mind his impossible blue eyes, his weathered, annotated copy of The Great Gatsby (total English-major porn)…oh, and his girlfriend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jordan knows everything this year has an expiration date. Aberdeen is supposed to be about fun rather than waiting for life to happen. But E. M. Forster, Shakespeare, and mistletoe on Valentine’s Day make her reconsider what love is and how far she’s willing to go for the right guy.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Synopsis: </strong><em>Sometimes it takes letting go of the past to find out who you want to be.</em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">During his semester abroad, Griffin Reed almost gave his heart to a girl who loved someone else. Lesson learned. Now he’s home, where following in his father’s footsteps may not be what he wants, but it’s what his parents expect. It might be taking the easy road, but he doesn’t see a way out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Something that could have killed Maggie Kendall took away the person she used to be instead. Her condition makes her dependent on sticky notes, photos, and medication just to get through each day. The last thing she needs is a distraction—or someone new to disappoint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What they refuse to see is they are perfect for each other. Maggie makes Griffin want to be a better man, and he makes her believe a future is possible. But these two have to find a way to share the secrets ripping them apart, if they’re ever going to have a chance at happiness.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Beauty and the Boss by Diane Alberts</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Researcher Maggie Donovan has no luck with men, and it doesn't help that she can't keep her eyes off of her sexy boss – the one everyone else in the office calls The Beast. Relationships in the office are forbidden. So no one is more surprised than Maggie when she pretends to be his fiancée to save him during a difficult situation. Not only has she put her job on the line, but the future of the company.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Billionaire Benjamin Gale III doesn’t believe in love or romance, but the look on his mother’s face when Maggie tells her that she’s his fiancée is worth millions. Instead of firing her for her insubordination, he goes along with the ruse. In his arms–and in his bed–she’d be everything he could ever want…which is why he can’t have her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But if he doesn’t let her go, they’ll lose everything…</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Blurring the Lines by Marisa Cleveland</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Real estate development CEO Blake Whitman is an Aquarius with a philanthropic nature, but when it comes to work, he's driven and focused, and he would never, ever mix business with pleasure. As far as he's concerned, office romance is off the table.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He also never backs down from a challenge, and Kira Layton just accused him of ruining the community. What better way to get her on his side than to hire her?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But the more he tells himself to keep his hands off his new, sexy secretary, the harder it is for him to come up with reasons why office romances never work and why it's a bad idea to cross the line…</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">She’s everything he wants for Christmas…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Social worker Allison Barrington’s home went up in smoke, literally, a month before Christmas. Now the guardian of her teenage sister and a crazy pup, she shows up on the doorstep of the only man in the city she can trust. Resisting Ethan Dane had never been easy, but luckily, Allie isn’t into cutthroat playboy businessmen. And Ethan is as driven as they come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ethan Dane has wanted Allie since the moment he laid eyes on her at their best friends’ wedding. Having her in his home is the perfect chance to prove to her that their chemistry can’t be denied, but when he finds out that the biggest business coup of his career means destroying the youth center where Allie works, Ethan is forced to decide what kind of man he wants to be…</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Egyptian heiress Rania Ghalli is desperate to free her political prisoner uncle before it’s too late. Hoping to make it to North Africa, she stows away on the yacht of Greek millionaire Demetri Christodoulou. But when Egyptian agents board the boat, she can either jump overboard…or claim she’s Demetri’s new bride.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tired of being no more than the bastard disgrace to the Christodoulou name, Demetri intends to build a luxury resort below his grandfather’s house so the old man has no choice but to acknowledge that Demetri has made something of himself. But first, he needs a wife to complete the land purchase.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With Rania now at his mercy, a plan comes together. He’ll play along, protecting her and helping to free her uncle, but in exchange, he demands a real marriage. But keeping the vivacious heiress out of his heart will be a lot harder than keeping her on his ship…</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tessa Stoneman hasn’t been able to get long-time friend and business partner Nicholas Boone out of her head since they shared a single kiss in college. Even when she dated Nicholas’s best friend. Now that she’s giving up her position at GameNerdz to strike out on her own—and now that she’s single—maybe it’s the right time to see if there’s still something between them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nicholas knows once Tessa leaves the company she helped found, they might drift apart. Before she starts her own company in the new year, he wants to woo the woman he fell in love with during college. So he poses as her Secret Santa, gifts her with items from the song “Santa Baby,” and plans a big reveal at the company holiday party. But when his best friend wants to rekindle his romance with Tessa, will Nicholas lose his last chance?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teagan O’Brien, heiress to the Riley<br />
O’Brien & Co. denim empire, is anything but a spoiled rich girl. She’s<br />
worked hard to secure her place in the family business and can hold her own, in<br />
and out of the office. Only one man has ever been able to get under her<br />
skin—sexy football star Nick Priest. Years ago they crossed the line from<br />
friends to lovers, but he left her heartbroken. Since then, she’s been<br />
determined to keep him at arm’s length—no matter how tempting he looks in his<br />
jeans...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tongue-tied he gets...</span></div>

<b><i>They say you never forget your first love...</i></b></div>
Lauren McKinnon has always prided herself on never backing down from a challenge, living life to its fullest, and refusing to be ruled by her emotions. She is the quintessential wild child who became a bold, fearless woman, she doesn’t believe in regrets or second chances, and thinks that true love only happens in fairy tales. Except for the time it happened to her one magical summer. But unlike fairy tales, in real life love can also be cruel, and after having her heart broken Lauren has vowed to never allow herself to be vulnerable again.<br />
<br />
Ben Rafferty has always been a loner, never truly belonging anywhere or to anyone, until the summer he visits Big Sur and meets the girl he immediately recognizes as his soulmate. But Lauren’s star shines far too brightly, and to stay with her means the real possibility of dimming that brilliant light. The decision to leave her behind will be the most difficult of his life, and for years later he’s left to wonder what would have happened if he’d stayed.<br />
<br />
When their paths inevitably cross again, Lauren’s pride and refusal to forgive continues to keep them apart, as does the new woman in Ben’s life. As truths are eventually revealed, and emotions can no longer be denied, will Lauren and Ben finally find their way back to each other, or will they be destined to forever remain apart?<br />

Nathan Atwood felt like the lowest sort of life form after seducing the incredibly beautiful girl he met in New York, only to break her tender heart with the confession that he was already involved with someone else. Julia McKinnon was convinced she’d found the one – the man of her dreams, the most seductive, experienced lover she’d ever known – and the night they’d spent together in New York was the stuff erotic fantasies were spun from. But with the dawn of a new day came only heartache and betrayal, and her dreams were snuffed out like so much fairy dust.<br />
<br />

<b><i>Sometimes true love doesn't always take the shortest or easiest path, but in the end it's always worth waiting for.</i></b><br />

<br />
British hotelier Ian Gregson had it all – wealth, good looks, power, and a share in his family’s worldwide, multi-billion dollar luxury hotel chain. His very name was synonymous with sophistication and elegance, and any woman he wanted could be his with just a look. But the only woman he truly desired was strictly forbidden to him for too many reasons to count.<br />
<br />
Tessa Lockwood was young, beautiful, and lonely, despite the fact that she was a married woman. Her life had not been an easy one, and the extravagant world she caught glimpses of as an employee of the Gregson Hotel Group was far beyond anything she could ever dream of. She could no more imagine herself ensconced in that sort of luxurious lifestyle than she could attracting the attention of her handsome, debonair boss.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ian and Tessa secretly long for each other from afar, never daring to reveal their forbidden attraction to the other, until circumstances bring them together in a very unexpected way. And from that point on, nothing will stand in Ian’s way to finally make her his.</div>

<br />
<i>The Ghost</i><br />
<br />
Angela Del Carlo has been living half a life, ever since he walked out on her, shattering her entire existence and leaving her to cope with picking up the fragments. Nothing seems to matter much anymore, and her life is a drab existence of work, run, repeat. She’s forgotten how to laugh, how to love, and even how to live. Most days she’s little more than a ghost.<br />
<br />
<i>The Devil</i><br />
<br />
Nick Manning’s life has been one lived without compromise, without rules, and without regrets. Except for his one weakness, his one regret – Angela. What he did to her still tugs at his conscience, still fills him with remorse, and continues to haunt his dreams. But he stays away, knowing that he can never be the man she needs or give her what she deserves.<br />
<br />
<i>The Angel</i><br />
<br />
But when fate intervenes and Angela’s and Nick’s paths cross again, she’s determined not to surrender her soul to the devil ever again, while he’s desperate to have his angel back in his arms – even if it means changing the rules to get it done.<br />

As an English teacher and a librarian, AJ has always surrounded herself with books. All her favorites have one big commonality-romance. Naturally, her books have the same. When she's not writing, she's of course reading. Then there's online shopping (everything from groceries to shoes) and a tiny bit of TV where she nourishes her undying love of vampires and superheroes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lillian Locke had the perfect life in Boulder, Colorado. She had the boyfriend of her dreams, a wonderful family, awesome friends, and a spot on the track team at a great college. There wasn’t anything life could throw at her that she couldn’t get through . . . until <i>he</i> found her. Lillian never could have imagined being abducted and chained up in the dark. Worse yet, being just one of many girls kidnapped and held captive by a madman. All she can do now is hope that she survives the brutality of their captor long enough to find a way to free herself and her new captive friends. When Richard Haines’ girlfriend goes missing, he makes it his personal mission to find the woman he loves and bring her home to the safety of their loved ones. Seeking the help of friends and family, Richard abandons everything except for his pursuit of Lillian. But when someone else close to Richard goes missing, and the bodies of the abducted girls start showing up in the hills outside Boulder, the only thing he can do is hope that he finds her before it is too late.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Synopsis: </strong>Play dirty. It’s the only way to win in a war.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alessa Trentini follows the rules, or so it seems on the outside. A certain Conti has always been able to sway her inner rebel and keep her out of trouble, but even Adriano won’t be able to get her out of her brother’s mess. In a war, no woman is safe if her hand in marriage can advance her family in the world of the mafia. But mistakes of the past have a way of slipping into the present and Alessa will soon learn that even the most shameful of secrets can get her everything she wants.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Adriano Conti’s loyalties are torn as he’s forced to stand at his father’s side while Riley uses his wife’s murder as a way to get higher. Blood comes first and then the Outfit. The one thing he doesn’t question in the war between the families is Alessa Trentini and even that doesn’t seem possible when he’s forced to watch Alessa be used as another man’s pawn. Adriano has his own role to play to get what he wants.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The families in the Outfit have never been more divided than they are now. Blood continues to spill as revenge takes center stage and more lives are lost. But every man in the family is fighting for something different and no one’s intentions can be trusted. Playing a dirty game might be the only way to stay alive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even if that means ruining it all.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Did anybody see you come around?” Alessa asked. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No,” he responded. “I parked a few blocks away and jogged down the backroad before coming in on the property. We’re good.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Alessa sighed. “Thanks. I’m sorry I didn’t answer you back the last few days.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Are you?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Yes,” Alessa said. “But I’ve been … stuck in my own head, trying to figure out what I was going to do. I thought I should let you know so you can stop worrying about me and move on to your own thing, Adriano.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“You are my thing,” Adriano replied. “Don’t you know that?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Alessa dipped her head down, keeping her face out of his view. “I can’t be your thing.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Stop it with that shit. None of this matters to me. It never has.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I can’t be <i>your</i> thing,” Alessa repeated firmly. “Not anymore. Not now.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Hey.” Adriano took a step forward, and Alessa answered it by taking a step back. “What is up with you?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Alessa shrugged. “It’s been settled. I’m going to have to marry Dean Artino. The engagement and wedding date isn’t official, but I’m sure Joel will be an asshole and send an invitation to your father. I wanted you to find out from me and not someone else through the grape vine.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Air cut through Adriano’s lungs with a searing burn. A ball of rage and possessiveness swirled in his midsection hard and fast, threatening to take him under with the current. Alessa was, and always had been, <i>his</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Like fuck was he going to hand her off to some useless bastard like Dean Artino. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Over his dead body. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It wouldn’t happen. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No,” Adriano said in a growl, stepping closer to her. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Alessa blinked up at him. “W-what?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No. You’re not marrying <i>Dean</i>.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I don’t think you understand, Adriano.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Oh, I understand perfectly fucking well.” Adriano couldn’t help but notice how Alessa didn’t back off the closer he came. Once they were toe-to-toe under the willow tree, she had to look up at him to hold his gaze. “I get it, but it’s not happening.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Alessa’s tongue peeked out to wet her lips. “Right now, it’s just the promise of an engagement between Dean and me soon, but Joel assured me the wedding would happen within the next few months. I don’t get a choice and it’s not fair to you, so let me do what I have to. Okay?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 25.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Adriano—”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No,” he repeated darkly.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Synopsis:</strong> Lies and love. This is how a war starts.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A life for a life. That’s the mafia way. Damian Rossi owes his life to a man who is ready to collect. That payment comes in the form of an arranged marriage to the daughter of another leading family in the Chicago Outfit. He’s ready to follow through, even if that means making sure Lily knows she’s his.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lily DeLuca isn’t being given a choice. Forced home to marry a man she doesn’t know and back into a life she’d rather forget, her world is full of half-truths, buried pain, and uncertainty. But Damian is nothing like she expects. His motives aren’t clear. Her beliefs are being tested.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When it comes to this world, no man can be trusted. Someone is ready to flip the Chicago Outfit on its side all for the promise of something better. But no one runs a clean game and these men play for keeps. When blood begins to paint Chicago red, four families will be divided by loyalty, hatred, and revenge. There is no hiding. There is no safety.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">No one is deathless.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When<br />Rochelle Ransom auditioned for the dating show Luring Love, she had big plans<br />for winning the prize money to help her favorite charity–and if she won the hot<br />bachelor's heart, even better. But at the last minute she finds out the hot<br />bachelor is her ex-boyfriend, Grant Drake. Desperate to keep her distance from<br />him, she'll do anything–and everything–to get voted off.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When<br />her hilarious antics to get kicked off the show escalate, Grant’s reminded why<br />he fell in love with her the first time. Now he isn't sure which might be more<br />fun... Seeing how far Rochelle is willing to go to get away or how far he will<br />to keep her forever.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Excerpt<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Aaaand rolling!” Chris said, retaking the director’s seat a few feet away. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Grant could practically feel the cameras focusing back on him. “I’ve decided to be America’s reporter for the day,” he said, having already memorized his lines. “So I have a few questions to ask that I think everyone will want to know—including me.” Their eyes locked. So did Rochelle’s jaw. Grant paused for effect. Then, “Why on earth would you choose to audition for a sleezy show like Luring Love?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “CUT!” yelled Chris.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “I mean, have you really drained the dating pool already?” Grant continued, getting angrier with each word out of his mouth. These were, after all, valid questions. Never in a million years would Rochelle have chased after a man—so why the hell was she here? “What would your mother say? Coming on a show like this to paw at a man who’s already got nine other women doing the same thing?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “I said cut!” Chris growled. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Oh, are we going to talk about mothers, then?” Rochelle flung back her hair. “Instead of dating pools, let’s talk about gene pools—and the fact that you and your four siblings originated from separate ones!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Cut, cut, cut!” Chris had his hand on Grant’s shoulder, but Grant wouldn’t turn his eyes away from Rochelle. Her expression read Challenge Accepted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Did she really just insult his mother’s…need for variety in life? He couldn’t let that low blow go unpunished. “Let’s do talk about gene pools and how we both know that cleavage of that particular magnitude doesn’t run in your family.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Taken aback, Rochelle clutched at her shirt. Grant felt a win on the horizon, if hurling mother insults could, in fact, be considered winning at anything. “It’s a halter top, moron. It’s designed for cleavage. Besides, you didn’t seem to be complaining when I walked in!” she added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> His mouth fell slightly ajar. She noticed me noticing. Did the crew? Will America? “It doesn’t suit you,” he blurted. A complete lie. It enhanced an already irresistible figure—so much so that he just might have been willing to change his general opinion on how much cleavage a woman should expose in public. In fact, he suspected he’d change his view on world peace if Rochelle sat on his lap and asked him to. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Really? Everything underneath suited the hell out of you before!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="line-height: 115%;"> “For God’s sake,” Chris said, standing in front of Grant to block his view of Rochelle. “Are we speaking the same language?”</span></span></span><br />

<b>Title:</b> The Kill Box (A Jamie Sinclair Novel) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Author</b>: Nichole Christoff <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Genre:</b> Thriller / Mystery<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b>In an intense thriller that’s perfect for fans of Lee Child or Lisa
Gardner, security specialist and PI Jamie Sinclair tackles a cold case that
could cost her the one person who means the most to her.</b><br />
<br />
Hardworking Jamie Sinclair can’t wait for the weekend. She plans to be off the
clock and on the road to wine country with handsome military police officer
Adam Barrett. But when a strung-out soldier takes an innocent woman hostage and
forces his way into Jamie’s bedroom, everything changes. Jamie’s never seen the
soldier before. But he’s no stranger to Barrett—and with one word he persuades
Barrett to pack a duffel and leave Jamie in the lurch.<br />
<br />
Jamie cannot fathom why Barrett would abandon her without explanation. But as
the consequences of an unsolved crime threaten to catch up with him, a
late-night phone call sends Jamie racing to Barrett’s hometown in upstate New
York. In a tinderbox of shattered trust and long-buried secrets, Jamie must
fight to uncover the truth about what really occurred one terrible night twenty
years ago. And the secrets she discovers deep in Barrett’s past not only
threaten their future together—they just might get her killed.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Marc and I turned. And there, on one of the electronic screens, was Stan Liedecker, strutting through the parking structure like he’d just won the lottery. I shoved my nerdy, square-rimmed glasses up the bridge of my nose, grabbed the handle of the ordinary leatherette briefcase Marc had had filled for me, and strode out to meet him.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20389" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20388" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Reagan National Airport is a long string of terminals, linked one to another like beads on a bracelet. Sandwich shops and newspaper stands hug the curving walls, trying to tempt travelers into spending their cash before boarding their planes. In front of an establishment called Capitol Coffee, I found Liedecker sitting at a little bistro table, sipping something steamy from a paper cup.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In a maroon sweater, worsted wool pants, and penny loafers, he was dressed like every other late-middle-aged Washington stuffed shirt on his day off. He’d brought an overnight bag with him. It rested on the chrome chair beside him. I supposed he had his toothbrush in it—and his bankbook for his offshore account, too. I could make out his round-trip ticket to the Cayman Islands protruding from the bag’s end pocket like a feather in a hat.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20391" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But I had what Stan Liedecker really wanted.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20394" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20393" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He grinned like a fat cat who’d swallowed too much cream when he caught sight of me approaching his table.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I slid into the seat across from him, stood the briefcase upright on my lap.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20396" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’d buy you a cup of coffee,” he said, “but I’m about to board my plane.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20401" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20400" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“That’s all right.” I patted the side of the leatherette case. “I’ve brought you a parting gift.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Marc had made sure the case was full of the well-worn fifty-dollar bills Liedecker had demanded. Altogether they weighed close to twenty pounds. And were worth half a million dollars.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Payment in full,” I said, though I knew guys like Liedecker always came back for another touch. “You’ll stick to your end of the bargain?”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Of course.” He nodded. And he smiled.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But I needed him to spell it out. I needed him to say I was buying his influence at the FDA with this money. And I needed him to admit he was willfully breaking the law so the wire I wore could transmit his confession to the authorities.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Instead, Stan Liedecker slid a little plastic baggie across the table to me. “This is for you.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A baker’s dozen of waxy pink-and-white capsules gleamed inside the bag.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“What are they?”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20403" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Just a recreational indulgence someone at another company cooked up.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn’t touch the packet.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Liedecker chuckled. “Don’t worry. They’re on the house. I can get you more if you like. And tell your boss I’m still willing to fix his clinical trial problem. For another half mill, of course.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Liedecker grinned at me. I wanted to slam the heel of my hand into his nose and feel the satisfying crunch of his splintered cartilage beneath my pulse, but I made nice and smiled at him in return. After all, he’d just said the words that would sound so good in front of a federal judge.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Well,” he said, glancing at his Rolex. “Mustn’t be late.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He rose from his seat, reached for the briefcase.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I stood and gladly offered it to him. Because the second the man’s liver-spotted hand curled around the handle, Marc would move in. He’d arrest Liedecker. The scumbag would face jail time for illegally lining his pockets. And for offering to approve untested drugs that could kill people.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But things didn’t happen that way.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20412" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20411" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A lady with a tight perm and a loose cardigan paused as she passed our table. She let out an ear-piercing squeal, dropped her orange plastic Capitol Coffee tray as if it had bitten her. Hot liquid splashed everywhere. Liedecker and I looked down to see fat drops of coffee bead on his shiny shoes. We looked up and followed the woman’s pointing finger.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Halfway across the open expanse of the terminal, Marc was on the move, closing in like a bird of prey. His helmeted agents zoomed toward us like a swarm of hornets. Their flat-black assault rifles were nocked to their shoulders—and each one aimed at Liedecker.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Guns!” the woman shrieked.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20407" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20409" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Heads turned. Travelers screamed. Men and women ran every which way. Some cowered on the floor. Panicked parents dragged their children behind the cover of trash cans or concrete planters full of ficus—just in case bullets began to fly.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20405" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But none of this fazed Stan Liedecker.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With a snarl, he shoved the briefcase into my chest. My arms locked around it as the impact knocked me back a step. That’s when Liedecker grabbed me by the shoulders.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“You sold me out!”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I gritted my teeth, twisted up and out, and slammed the edge of the briefcase into Liedecker’s wrist. But I couldn’t break his grip. He jerked me to him, spun me around—and wedged his arm across my throat in a fierce headlock.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Marc’s eyes locked with mine. His hand dove beneath his suit coat. It came up with his service weapon.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Stand back!” Liedecker shouted at him. “Everyone just stand back or I’ll break this woman’s neck!”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He’d do it, too. I knew he would. Especially when his groping hand plunged beneath my jacket. It closed over the transmitter clipped to my trousers. Liedecker ripped it free of its wire, threw the thing to shatter on the floor.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At my back, his body quivered with rage. And the pressure he applied to the point of my chin strained the muscles in my neck. I was certain he’d carry out his threat.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20416" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was certain he’d snap my spine.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Marc and his agents were certain, too. They froze where they stood. But they didn’t lower their weapons.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20414" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Adrenaline shivered through me like a sickness. But so did fear. And I refused to give in to it.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I swallowed against the pressure at my throat, dredged up all the authority I could muster, and made my voice strong with it. “Think it through, Stan. You hurt me, I fall. And all those agents get a clear shot at your center mass.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Then you’re coming with me,” he snapped, “because I’m getting on that plane. And you’re holding my bankroll.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He was right.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20418" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I still cradled the briefcase to my chest.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He jerked me backward, forced me to keep in step with him. We weren’t far from his gate. Or from his plane.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“You’ll never get on board,” I warned.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Who’s going to stop me? The TSA?”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No. I will.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20420" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Liedecker snorted and his arm drew tighter. “That’s big talk for one of Pharmathon’s pretty little technocrats. What are you really? A federal marshal?”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’m mad as hell,” I lied, “so be smart and let me go.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But Liedecker had other ideas. He shoved my chin high and hard. Pain lanced my brain box—and my fingers flicked the clasps on the top of the briefcase.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The lid of the little valise dropped open.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And all of Stan Liedecker’s glorious cash slipped from inside.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20430" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20429" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Stan gasped as an avalanche of fifty-dollar bills tumbled to his feet and streamed across the floor. Like the greedy bastard he was, he let go of me to grab them. And when he bent to rake at his money, I didn’t hesitate.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20433" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20432" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I slammed the blade of my hand into the base of his skull. Muscle and bone met the soft spot at the top of his neck. Stan Liedecker gurgled. He dropped to his knees. And when he fell face-first onto the floor, his head went <span class="yiv6450484397"><span style="border: medium none;"><span style="border: medium none;">thump</span></span></span> against the hard surface—just like a rotten melon.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv6450484397" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20438" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_20437" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course, from where I stood, it sounded rather like justice.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Author:</strong> Majanka Verstraete</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When sixteen-year-old Riley is injured in a car crash and sees a girl stealing a boy’s soul, she’s convinced she’s hallucinating. But when she sees the same girl at the hospital later, she knows she wasn’t dreaming. That’s when Riley learns her secret heritage and who she really is: a halfling Angel of Death.<br />
<br />
Riley must come to terms with her new reality and supernatural abilities, but before she can do this, girls her age start dying in mysterious circumstances. It’s up to Riley to figure out why, what the innocent victims have in common, and what she can do to stop them from dying.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15305" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The world exploded in a chaos of fire, debris, and noise.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15319" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15318" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sirens screamed and low voices mumbled in the background. I lifted up my head and groaned. My head weighed about a thousand pounds and throbbed as if someone had hit me with a hammer. The interior of the car swayed from left to right.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15246" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15245" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A dark fog rose up in front of the car. Vague specters moved back and forth in the mist. I squinted and the specters turned into paramedics dressed in white clothes with stains all over them, who ran from one patient to another. Four or more cars had collided and mine was the last in line. Two cars burned with tall, flickering flames. A woman crawled out of one of the burning cars, half of her face blackened.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15251" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My stomach twisted and bile rose up in my throat. I searched for the door handle without turning away from the apocalypse happening in front of me.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15252" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15253" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The woman with the burnt face started screaming. The sound shattered my eardrums. A paramedic rushed toward her and pulled her away from the searing car wreck.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15270" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15269" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My fingers found the door handle and I pushed the car door open. A gush of fresh air entered the car and I took a deep breath. The air filled my lungs, and even though my surroundings still swirled around as if on a carousel, they started to slow down. I fiddled with the lock of my seatbelt, trembling like a leaf. Eventually the lock clicked and I tumbled out of the car. I gripped the door handle so hard my knuckles turned white while I pulled myself up, leaning on the car.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15326" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Are you okay?” Someone grabbed my arm and helped me to stand up.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My savior was a forty-something woman with a round face, large eyes, and a red flush on her cheeks as if she’d just run a mile. She was tall and chubby, and while she appeared friendly enough, she stared at me wide-eyed, the chaos of burning car wrecks and wounded people reflected in her irises.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15327" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I don’t know,” I said. “My head hurts and the world is spinning.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">She nodded and helped me to the nearest ambulance. “Sit down.” She waited until I’d sat down and then looked at my injuries. She dabbed a wet cloth on my forehead and when she pulled it back the cloth was stained red.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15268" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15267" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My gaze fixed on the scene unfolding behind her. Two paramedics took turns performing heart massage on a young boy, whose broken body was spread out on the ground. His skin was the color of a bridal gown and his lips had turned a faint blue. He couldn’t be older than eight or nine. Broken glasses lay next to his body.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Right when the paramedics switched places, a girl appeared behind them. She popped up out of nowhere. One second there was no trace of her, the next she stood there, as if she’d been there all along.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15330" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My heart raced in my chest. I wanted to say something but the words got stuck in my throat.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15329" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15328" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The girl’s red hair with black extensions reached to her shoulders. She wore a short checkered skirt, black combat boots, a venom-green tank top, and black stockings. A chain dangled from her skirt. She chewed bubblegum with her mouth open. Everything about her screamed<i>wrong</i>; from the way she’d suddenly appeared to how she carried herself, as if she was strolling around in the park on a summer’s day, not standing at the scene of a gruesome accident in the middle of autumn. Even her clothes didn’t match the weather.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15332" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15331" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">She knelt down and put her hand on the chest of the injured boy. For a while, nothing happened. But then a see-through, shiny form rose above the boy’s body. The specter looked exactly like the boy – same age, same height, same clothes, but it shone like a diamond.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I <i>knew</i>, without being able to give a reason why, that the shimmering shape lingering above the boy’s body was his soul.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15335" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I jerked free from the paramedic who’d taken care of the wound on my forehead and was now bandaging my hand. “Do you see that?” I pointed my uninjured hand at the boy.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15333" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">She glanced behind her shoulder. “See what?”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15334" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“That girl pulling out the boy’s soul.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15336" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The paramedic turned back to me and frowned. “There’s no girl there.” She stood up straight and put her hand on my head. “No fever, but you probably have a concussion.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Claire!” someone shouted behind us.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The woman turned around. “What’s wrong?”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The man who’d shouted pointed at a large truck laying on its side, half in and half out of a ditch. The side of the truck was decorated with the drawing of a skull, the universal sign of danger. “There’s gasoline leaking out of the truck. It’s going to explode. We need to get everyone out of here!”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15340" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15339" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Claire ran off toward the truck, leaving me alone. She started to help another paramedic pull a man out of a car wreck right behind the truck.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I stood up and stumbled forward. The spinning had gotten worse and I swayed from left to right. <i>I have to help them.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15337" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15338" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The red-haired girl turned toward the truck. She shrugged her shoulders, as if letting go of a painful burden, and then walked forward, toward Claire and the others.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dread crawled up my spine. “No!” I reached out, my hand grazing the girl’s shoulders.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">She spun around so fast it made my head spin even more. She narrowed her eyes at me. There was something dangerous about her as if she was a lion, ready to jump on whatever prey presented itself.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“What are you doing here?” She used the same tone I used whenever my little sister came into my room. “You’re at the wrong spot. They told me I had to do this job.”</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Job?” My voice sounded hoarse, as if I hadn’t spoken in weeks. “What…what did you do to that boy?” Each word came out choked. Smoke from the burning cars must’ve entered my lungs and settled there.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15348" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15347" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The girl frowned. “You mean…you don’t know? But you can see me. That’s impossible. You can’t see me and not be one of us.” She looked me up and down, her eyes growing wide. “Who are you?” she asked.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15346" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15345" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But before I could reply, the truck exploded. Large flames burst through the sky, coloring everything a red, terrifying hue. Screams echoed all around me. Claire, the paramedic who’d helped me, fell to the ground, completely engulfed in fire.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv8491573890MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15343" style="background-color: white; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447144919346_15342" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I closed my eyes and prayed I wouldn’t die.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Author Bio</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Majanka Verstraete begged her Mom to teach her how to read while she was still in kindergarten. By the time she finished fifth grade, she had read through the entire children’s section of her hometown library. She wrote her first story when she was seven years old, and hasn’t stopped writing since. With an imagination that never sleeps, and hundreds of possible book characters screaming for her attention, writing is more than a passion for her. She writes about all things supernatural for children of all ages. She’s tried to write contemporary novels before, but something paranormal always manages to crawl in. Majanka is currently studying for her Master of Laws degree, and hopes one day to be able to combine her passions for law and writing. When she’s not writing, reading or studying, she likes watching “The Vampire Diaries” and “Game of Thrones,” spending time with her friends, or playing “World of Warcraft.”</span></div>

Book Blurb</h1>
Playing dirty can be the best kind of fun…<br />
<br />
Chloe Franklin wouldn’t call herself a commitment-phobe, so much as she’s allergic to anything long term. She loves the sexy, sweaty and intensely hot hours of the night that come before the sun rises, though. Especially when those nights are spent with Search-and-Rescuer Gage McGraw…<br />
<br />
Gage loves his job, but there is one thing he’s starting to like more than the rush of a mission—a stacked blonde with a mouth that haunts his dreams. Every time he steps foot in the sleepy town of Beaufort, he hooks up with Chloe. But he’s tired of hooks-ups. He wants more.<br />
<br />
Just the sight of Gage gets Chloe’s blood going. Hot, bothered, and finally naked, she’s ready for their night to start. But before he takes her, he whispers what his intentions really are…and then the games really begin.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Genre:</strong> Thriller / Horror</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suffering from writer’s block, novelist Rachel Ames escapes to a lake cabin to calm her mind and regain a sense of herself. The location is perfect. Isolated. Beautiful. Inspiring. It even comes with a good-looking landlord who shows an interest in her. But she can’t shake the sense that something terrible has followed her to the lake, something just beyond her consciousness, something out on the edge where the sounds of a raging fire and sirens linger whenever she slows down to listen. Determined to make the cabin work, she tries to settle in and give her new life a chance. But when strange things begin to happen around her, she wonders if she’s made a terrible mistake. As the darkness that’s followed her manifests itself in inexplicable ways, her concept of reality is stretched thin and she realizes nothing at the lake is what it seems. As she fights to survive with her sanity intact, she understands too late that the location she’s chosen for herself is far from perfect.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mika Ito combines her two favorite things in life–textile design and live-action role-playing (LARP)–by creating costumes for her fellow Magic Battledome gamers. Lately, someone’s been assaulting LARPers and stealing their costumes. Concerned for the safety of her friends, Mika hires Maltese Security…only to discover that the lead investigator is the super-hot stranger she just hooked up with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Carlos Castillo is all too familiar with Magic Battledome. A former legend in role-playing circles, he was all about gaming, until things went very, very wrong for him. Now he’s forced to return to the game undercover–as Mika’s boyfriend–to find some answers. Only playing “boyfriend” with his gorgeous one-night stand is more temptation than a guy can withstand…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Someone wants the costumes enough to kill for them. And when it comes to murder, nothing is what it seems…</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When<br />Rochelle Ransom auditioned for the dating show Luring Love, she had big plans<br />for winning the prize money to help her favorite charity–and if she won the hot<br />bachelor's heart, even better. But at the last minute she finds out the hot<br />bachelor is her ex-boyfriend, Grant Drake. Desperate to keep her distance from<br />him, she'll do anything–and everything–to get voted off.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Years<br />ago, Rochelle broke Grant’s heart, and he's out for revenge. There's no way<br />he'll vote her off. After all, vengeance<br />is a dish best served red-hot...and on live television.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When<br />her hilarious antics to get kicked off the show escalate, Grant’s reminded why<br />he fell in love with her the first time. Now he isn't sure which might be more<br />fun... Seeing how far Rochelle is willing to go to get away or how far he will<br />to keep her forever.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Excerpt<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Grant crossed his arms. “Really? Because I asked around too, and several of our lovely contestants said the ‘wardrobe malfunction’ was that she refused to put on any dress chosen for her. You realize why she wore a FSU shirt, don’t you, Richie. I hate that team. And as for ratings, I don’t give a rat’s—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Please, lower your voice. This isn’t as bad as it seems.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “What did you say to her to make her stay? Don’t give me anymore BS about loopholes in contracts, either.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Richie pressed his fingertips together thoughtfully. “You say this woman was the love of your life, yet you don’t even realize what she’s doing. I find that difficult to believe.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “You said she was the love of my life. I told you to let her go.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Not going to happen, Grant. Besides, I thought you’d be happy about this turn of events. About what it means for you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Grant scowled. “Are you incapable of being direct?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Isn’t it obvious, Grant? She’s making what I would call a tremendous effort for you to vote her off. Which means she still has feelings for you.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You have a warped sense of reasoning.” She might have feelings for him, but they sure as hell weren’t romantic in any way. What, she was trying to woo him with a sweatshirt that smelled like hot dumpster trash? Richie was crazy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“She can’t stand to be around you because of all the feelings your presence dredges up. Is that so hard to understand?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Grant blinked. It actually wasn’t; he could relate. He wished he could turn off the memories her presence provoked in him. “You can’t let her run wild on the set, Richie. She’s making a joke out of your show. Don’t you care about that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Richie laughed. “She’s doing exactly what I’d hoped she’d do. The question is, are you going to let her beat you at this game?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Grant took the seat behind him and leaned on Richie’s desk with his forearms. Of course, she was trying to get voted off the show. She hated his guts, and had an entire decade to let this medley of hatred and anger simmer. This was her loophole. Her way of getting out of the contract. “You don’t know Chelle. She won’t give up. These tantrums will only get worse.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Look,” Richie said with a sympathetic sigh that barely hid his delight. “There’s a fine line between love and hate. Haven’t you ever heard that? She obviously has strong feelings toward you. It’s up to you to change the nature of those feelings.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Grant wiped a hand down his face. Changing Rochelle’s mind about anything had always been a challenge. But changing her heart? Was that even possible?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “You handled yourself quite well last night,” Richie continued. “Very composed for the situation.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Am I just supposed to ignore her behavior? That’s not fair to the other women.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Richie smirked. “Do you even remember the names of any of the other women?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">NYT Bestselling YA author of The Syrena<br />Legacy series: OF POSEIDON (2012) OF TRITON (2013) OF NEPTUNE (2014). Repped by<br />rockstar Lucy Carson of the Friedrich Agency. I live with my husband and<br />daughter in the Florida Panhandle. I have a southern accent compared to New<br />Yorkers, and I enjoy food cooked with real fat. I can't walk in high heels, but<br />I'm very good at holding still in them. If you put chocolate in front of me,<br />you must not have wanted it in the first place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
