Best Friend’s Baby

About Best Friend’s Baby:

I harboured a secret crush on him and loved him for half my life, but he was never mine to have. Everyone knows friends with benefits is a recipe for disaster…
To me it was special. Perfect.

But happily ever afters only happen in fairy tales, right?

He was being groomed to take over his father’s billion-dollar empire.

And I was the dirty little secret.

The perfect family, the perfect life, and the perfect future.

The last thing he needs..A scandal like me hitting the press.

To say things are complicated is an understatement of the century.

This baby inside of me isn’t the only secret I’m carrying,

Before I walk away forever,

Before I break my own heart…

I have to tell him what I’ve been hiding.

Even if it means he hates me, even if I have to raise our son alone. How do I make my heart let go?

Southern Duty: A Story of Georgia Pioneers by Brian Paley

Southern Duty: A Story of Georgia Pioneers by Brian Paley

Southern Duty is a biographical story tracing the lives of Malinda Field and Joseph Donaldson as they strive to raise a family during the antebellum period in the U.S. South. Due to a family tragedy, Malinda is forced into an arranged marriage at the age of twelve. After her controlling husband dies, she reunites with and marries her childhood friend, Joseph, and they move to a wilderness area called Cherokee Nation. In spite of the trials of pioneering, the Indian Removal period, slavery, major business failures, and raising a large family, they rise to become the richest family in Cherokee County, Georgia. Finally they are faced with deprivation and reconstruction efforts due to the Civil War, as well as the tragic death of their youngest son.
Southern Duty is an inspiring story of the indomitable human spirit driven primarily by duty: to family, to community, to the Southern way of life, and ultimately to all fellow human beings. The book provides clear and sometimes intriguing links between events of the past and the environment of today.

Eastside Witch Hunt: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel By T.J. Deschamps

About Eastside Witch Hunt: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel By T.J. Deschamps:

Release Day June 21st!!

FREE on Kindle Unlimited!!

The Supernatural Council of the Pacific Northwest didn’t thoroughly think through the consequences when we decided to come out of the supernatural closet. Heaven is pissed. Hell is not respecting our treaty. The mundanes and fanatical religious groups our protesting our existence. Let’s not mention, the weirdos who want to bag a monster boyfriend/girlfriend.

Add insult to serious injury. Supes are going missing. Powerful supes. I’m not sure if it’s Heaven, Hell, the protestors, or fanatics wanting their personal non-fictional monster in their closet.

The cops are breathing down my neck because they think I have something to do with it all.

Oh, and the Baba Yaga isn’t a myth. It’s a powerful coven and they want me to join them.

Did I mention my full-blood fae siblings are counting the hours until my second puberty is complete so they can kill me and daddy Oberon says I have to make my own faerie to stop them?

Who has time for that?

If you like K.F. Breene, Shannon Mayer, and Darynda Jones, and books with badass women over 40, you’ll love Midlife Supernaturals!

For the past decade, Matty Bell has lived safe in a self-made monochromatic life of work-eat-sleep-survive. Living vicariously through her best friend Claire’s perfect life wasn’t the plan, nor her ideal. However, Matty learned long ago that it’s easier to run and hide from life than to deal with the pain of the post-traumatic stress she’s suffered from since being raped at sixteen.

When Claire announces her family is moving, she asks Matty to come too. Having grown up Navy, Matty’s no stranger to picking up and starting over. However, moving half-way around the world to play nanny to Claire’s children doesn’t sound like the new beginning Matty yearns for. Nor does she want to leave without first confronting her fears and coming full-healing-circle. She can’t let another decade slip by before she’s able to trust again.

Endorsed by Award-Winning Director and Survivor Advocate, Angela Shelton, WAITING FOR PAINT TO DRY is a late coming of age story of what it takes to save and find yourself again.

About Spitting Image:

What if you had a twin – who was a better version of you?

When Everett Reyes loses his adoptive mother – the only person who ever believed in him – his bullying stepbrothers find a way to keep Everett’s inheritance. They won’t even let him keep Mom’s cookware, though she’s the reason he became a chef.  All he has left is a failing cafe, a rattletrap car, and an ex-wife he can’t stop fighting with.  Bereft of family, he hires a private investigator to track down his biological parents. He’s not surprised to learn that they’re dead, but he’s shocked to discover that he has a twin brother, alive and well in Austin, Texas.  The similarities between Everett and his brother Evan are amazing.

But the more Everett learns more about his brother, the more he feels like he’s looking at the life he should have had – would have had if they hadn’t been separated. It’s embarrassing how Evan seems to be more successful than Everett in every possible way.  His friends tell him to start with a phone call, but Everett decides to drive to Austin and surprise Evan on their shared birthday.  After all, what better gift could a man receive than to be reunited with his long-lost twin brother?
