Meet Me in the Middle
by Kelly Collins

Everyone knows sinfully sexy Miles Stevenson’s face. He’s the most famous movie star in the world… and every woman’s dream. When he unexpectedly pulls perfect stranger and grade schoolteacher Rachel Parks in for a passion-filled kiss, he ends up doing more than fooling the press.

Rachel is used to the opposite sex throwing themselves at her. What she isn’t used to are handsome strangers pulling her aside and covering her mouth with burning hot lips. But she decides to play along with Miles’s little game. 

Incompatibility screams at every turn, but passion paves the way. Sometimes the road to each other is far too long, but the path is shorter if you meet in the middle. Will Miles’s worldwide fame get in the way of Rachel’s under-the-radar life, or will they find what they didn’t know they were looking for… each other? 


Catching Nate
by Angela Stevens

Only one woman ever stole Nate Chase’s heart– it’s just a shame she is off limits.

Biker and owner of Hard Core Hogs, Nate Chase, can take women or leave them–and he usually does both. But then there is a reason that Nate has never committed to any woman and that reason is his business partner’s sister, Maxine Gordon.

But here lies the problem...

With a shady past and an intimidating reputation, Jack Gordon has vowed to protect his sister from all men–and he certainly isn’t going to make an exception for Nate Chase. 

Catching Nate is a forbidden lover contemporary romance, written for readers who love emotional romantic fiction with a side of suspense. Known for her heart-warming, and heart-wrenching, romance series, Angela Steven’s third standalone story in the Thrill of the Chase Series will have you anticipating the next book before you finish this one! 

So, get your fix, buy Catching Nate and binge-read your way to a happy ever after. 


Like An Angel
by Bonnie Edwards

A runaway New York heiress lands in the middle of a Canadian prairie…it might as well be OZ…

Andi Morrison needs to unplug and unwind, but this farm is not where she wants to hide out. Being forced to stay and pretend she’s a foster mom is way out of her comfort zone. 

But sexy foster dad Brice Logan needs a woman bad and even though Andi is a rebel in high heels, she’s the only woman he’s got. He has to make her stay long enough to be able to keep his foster family together.

The children are sweet, their foster dad is sexy but Andi has never been needed a day in her life. How can she cope with all the things they need? She’s not a cook, not a mommy, and certainly not the saving grace they seem to think she is.

But soon, Brice sees he needs more than Andi’s help. He needs her everything.

Caught in a sweet, sexy romance neither of them expected Brice and Andi learn that opposites attract. For Andi, being polar opposites makes love hard and staying in the Great White North even harder. 


Cheaters
by Jude Ouvrard

Willow believes in true love so much that it blinds her. Set to marry in a month, her suspicions about her soon to be husband, Justin, are driving her wild with anxiety and self doubts. 

Leaving on a business trip with fears that her man falls in the arms of a bombshell, her best friend promises to keep an eye on him.

Hours away from home, Willow is as lonely as can be. She tries to keep her mind busy and have a true Las Vegas experience when she meets Travis. A divorced and flirty man from the other side of the country. Temptations have never been stronger but will it be enough to make her break her promise to the man she loves?


Strike Zone
by Michele Shriver

Big league pitcher Killian Moss wants a family. What he needs is a steadfast woman who can handle long separations during the season. The kind of woman who will always be there for him and their children. 

Movie actress Lorna Richards is an independent, publicity-shy, single mom who hides in Texas whenever she’s not on a shoot. Home and family is everything to Lorna and when she meets Killian, it seems that they want all the same things. 

The passion between them flares bright and hot, but when Lorna decides to pay back a favor for a man who saved her career – a life-altering favor – then Killian may have to cry foul and back away. Everything between them hangs in the balance as Lorna must choose between giving a new life to her best friend or losing her dream of love and a happy ending with Killian.


Blissful Contracts – Opal
by Chantel Rhondeau

Need married in a hurry? Millionaire Partner, Inc. is here for you! Find the perfect companion to fulfill your needs, whether you’re looking for love or something else.

OLIVIA

I’d saved myself for true love. I nearly had it before an accident irrevocably changed everything. A marriage broker is my only hope of survival. The man wanting to marry me, Byron Laserata, is intense, but I’m out of options. If I refuse his offer, I’ll be on the streets tomorrow. I can do this, right?

BYRON

Father insists I marry and produce two heirs before inheriting the family business. Even though I’ve been running it for years, there’s no chance he’ll budge on this demand. Without a proper wife and kids, I’ll find myself outed in favor of my cousin. Olivia’s sweet and incredibly innocent. She’ll be perfect—easy to control and no chance she’ll demand things I can’t give. It’s the perfect solution. All I have to do is keep myself from developing feelings for my new bride. I can’t afford it. The business demands my full attention. However, there’s just something about her…

Content Warning: The Blissful Contracts Series is about overcoming past adversities and finding true love through those trials. Sensitive readers may be triggered by discussion of past traumas including mental or physical abuse, rape, or mental illness. Reader discretion is advised.


Almost Home
by Kimmie Easley

When you know you’re in love with the right person, and you know why, and you know it’s for all the right reasons, and you know they’re all good…

Well, you just know. 

Or at least you think you do.

That’s not me.

I don’t recognize good. It’s too few and far between. It’s been that way my whole, entire life. 

And, unfortunately for him, it’s also become Avette’s new version of normal, thanks to his unyielding love for me. My husband’s blinded to all of the yuck and disgust that fucks me up from the inside out. 

It’s a talent or a gift. Maybe a curse. Whatever it is, it’s not one I possess. 

But the worst part is I see what he wants. 

He wants me to feel the same. To see him in the same light. But that’s not how my heart was created. I can’t feel or love the same way that he does. 

Life doesn’t mean the same to me as it does to him. 

No, not until my entire world changed. 

Hi, I’m Trini Baker, and I’m an addict.

by Stacy Eaton, USA Today Bestselling Author

Devon Carrington is the type of man to give the shirt off his back to anyone in need, and when he finds Haley struggling through a bad day, he does everything he can. In return, he asks that she help him pick out lottery numbers and tells her that if he wins, she gets half.

When the winning numbers are drawn and Devon and Haley learn that they have won, can the two of them put their one-night stand behind them and build something for the future? Find out in Sometimes You Win.

Hardcover Release: Write A Book That Doesn't Suck by Jaimie Engle




Non-Fiction
Date Published:  Hardcover November 30th

Your Book Might Suck…

But it doesn’t have to.

You are an awesome writer with an incredible fiction story the world needs to experience. But your book… well, it kind of sucks. So let’s fix that.

Setting your novel apart from the rest is a choice.

Fiction is more than a character doing stuff in a place you’ve invented. There are rules to magic and seasons to setting and double meanings to words, and a cadence to sentence structure if you want to write a book that doesn’t suck.

I guarantee you will find tricks and treats you’ve never heard or read before in any other writing book. If not, let me know and I’ll refund your money. But if I’m right, and my book helps you to write a novel that doesn’t suck, then I’m asking you, in return to leave a positive review. That’s fair, isn’t it?

Ready to get started? Great! There are questions with space to answer at the end of each chapter to help you along your journey. I’m super excited for you and wish you all the luck in writing your novel!

All Of My Every Things Tour and Giveaway


All Of My Every Things 
by L. Bachman
Genre: Poetry


This is not a normal poetry book. It is an exorcism of the soul. A poet will write about the highs and lows of their life in excruciating beautiful ways. Wrapping their pain with a ribbon to either be kept as a secret or presented. L. Bachman has gathered some of her most emotionally raw verses selected from a nineteen-year period of her life and is the first volume of complete non-fiction to date.

With bruised white knuckles, created by a humbled self-diagnosed battered and broken being on the road to healing and coping from a painful childhood. This is a display of work created to express personal struggles and surviving through periods of insomnia, moments of love, depression, anxiety, and healing.

Cover to cover you will read the inner workings of a reclusive introvert that has spent her lifetime trying to answer her own questions about who she is, what part she plays in life, and trying to heal from things she couldn’t. You will see into the mind of the woman known as L. Bachman through over thirty poems left up to the reader to interpret with an introduction by author KJ. Taylor. 







At a young age, Lynn Lesher began writing and creating digital art, unaware these things would play such a powerful role in her life. Taking upon the pen name L. Bachman, she began putting her talents to good use in her publishing career. Firstly, she put her skills as a digital graphic artist and in 2015 she published her first book, Maxwell Demon, introducing the world to The Blasphemer Series. A series she began developing in her youth. This led to her second release, a short story titled Human Ouija, that garnered her being listed as a bestseller and went on to gain awarding from “Author’s Excellence Awards” for “Best Horror Story 2017”.

She continued as a freelance graphic artist throughout her career creating a network that led to her being involved in several anthologies for charitable causes. These shorter stories can still be found in various publications, including her work Little Lunacies. Bachman became known for her emotional darker style, through these shorts and her novels, that some called ‘gothic in nature’ and ‘reminisce of an older style of writing’.

In 2019 she released her first non-fiction poetry collection called All of My Every Things, that continued holding true to the style she’s become known for. This poetry collection has been called ‘an exorcism of a soul’ as it bears some of her most emotionally raw poems collected over nineteen years of her life.

Virtual Book Tour: Phantom Audition by Simon Dillon

PHANTOM AUDITION

SIMON DILLON

* Psychological Thriller *



Title: Phantom Audition
Author: Simon Dillon
Publisher: Dragon Soul Press
Pages: 300
Genre: Psychological Thriller

Small-time actress Mia Yardley, recently widowed wife of renowned actor Steven Yardley, discovers her late husband’s secret acting diary. The diary details appointments made with a psychic medium, who advised Steven on which roles to take. It also raises questions about his mysterious and inexplicable suicide. Seeking answers, Mia speaks to the medium, but in doing so is drawn into an ever- deepening mystery about what happened to her husband during the final days of his life. Eventually, she is forced to ask the terrible question: was Steven Yardley murdered by a vengeful evil from beyond the grave?
______________________

TEASER




______________________

EXCERPT

Mia sighed. None of this was really news to her, and after reading a few similarly unremarkable entries, she was tempted to ignore the rest of the journal. All this was doing was make her miss Steven more than ever. However, she caught sight of Etta’s name at the beginning of the next entry and her interest was piqued once more.
Etta made a quite singular suggestion today regarding Bingley that she is
convinced will land me that long overdue Oscar. I am a little apprehensive about what she is asking, but also quite exhilarated at the prospect. Etta has never been wrong before, and even though certain aspects of what she is asking worries me, I think I will take the leap. Perhaps it will all prove
ridiculous, and much ado about nothing.

The next entry was brief, and equally cryptic.

It’s happening with Etta today. Very nervous.
