Rock star Kendrick Main is living the dream—or so it seems to the outside world.

In reality, he’s trapped in a lie that’s consuming his soul and destroying his family. For years, the owner of his record label has manipulated and blackmailed him, forcing him to deceive the world and hide the existence of those he loves the most: his wife and children.

Unable to see a way out that won’t destroy the lives of his bandmates and brothers, he loses himself in the bottle. His downward spiral ends when he wakes up in intensive care after a near-fatal drunken crash. With nothing left to lose, he buys out of his contract and announces the existence of his wife and kids to the waiting paparazzi.

Penniless and lost, he has nothing to show for his former success but a broken family and a mile-long list of people he’s let down. When the pain and suffering that surrounds him trickles down to his children, Kendrick vows to right his wrongs—hopefully taking down the man who ruined his life and winning his wife back in the process.

Tomek
I’m a soldier, but not in the way you might think. I work for a man who people akin to the devil. My orders? Anything from inflicting a hard beating, to torture that will undoubtably lead to a painful death. Failing is not an option and I learnt years ago to keep my thoughts and emotions to myself.
Do I choose to live this life? The question is irrelevant, because from being a small boy living in Poland, to where I am now in England, this is all I have ever known.
Then she changed everything.

Allie
Most people think I’m a tart, an easy girl. Pfft! So what, who cares that I’m a sucker for a one night stand. It’s just sex for god sake and I always make sure they bag it before they get lucky.
It's just no strings, emotionless screwing.
Foreplay? Sod that. Orgasms? I can sort my own out thank you very much.
Boyfriends, romance, happy families? What a crock of shit.
Sure, I believed in all that fairy tale bullshit as a kid, but then my adolescent dreams got ripped apart.
Will things ever be different? Probably not, but that’s life and generally… it sucks.

If someone walks into your life when you least expect it, changing your whole perspective, despite the inevitable risk. Would you take the chance, when potentially they could end up being your saviour?
But then again... who exactly is saving who?

Avery

My scars are mine alone. They're the validation of my pain.
The anxiety, anger and sadness I bleed.
My dark secret. A grim, ugly truth.
Most of all, they're the one thing in my life I control.
It's inevitable that one day I'll have to reveal them to someone. What I wasn't expecting was to share them now with him ... with Hayden.

Hayden

Girls like Avery are all the same. They're spoiled, superficial blondes who don't appreciate mommy and daddy's wealth.
Plastic shells that are empty on the inside.
Or so I thought ... but I was wrong.
Avery's heart is an abyss of emotions. She feels like no one I've ever met, wallowing in her insecurities and anguish yet savoring every exciting moment within her reach. I was blindsided by the immense love she was willing to give once she trusted me, and I was left with no choice but to trust her, too, exposing my own pain and scars.

I hate myself for caving in ... for loving her. How do you let go of the one person you let in? How do you say goodbye to the girl who trusted you with her body and soul?
I have to leave Avery, and where I'm going, I can't take her with me. She's going to believe I built her up only to tear her down, but what she doesn't realize is unlike her, I can't change my destiny. I was born into the Knights Union MC, and it's where I'll go to die.

Christopher's Pawn
Refined

by
L.P. Budish




Christopher Jung, an officer in the Marine Corps, is charmingly good looking, yet has a stern, demanding, and unyielding personality, which I find titillating. I must turn his world upside down. He calls me a scamp and says my only predictability is unpredictability, which sometimes leads me to a desirous vulnerable position, as he holds me captive across his knee where I smile, submitting to his intoxicating power. After all, what can I give a man whose Godfather is the Godfather of the Milwaukee Mafia?

EXCERPT

Gently he touches my knee, and my legs loosen and uncross. Stepping between them, he cups my chin between his thumb and forefinger. His gaze penetrates my eyes. He runs his fingers through my hair and softly grips my neck.

A mad dash of blood rushes through my veins. I think he’s going to kiss me.

His eyes fall to my lips.

I swallow hard; my heart is pounding outside my chest, my stomach performing flip-flops.

Pulling me close, he bends forward brushing his moist, succulent lips against mine, grazing my bottom lip. Titillating me. Exhilarating me. Then, tilting his head slightly, he eases his tongue between my lips, penetrating my mouth. Exploring. Flirting with my tongue. Sensual feelings deluge my body, and I shiver.

Legally Yours (Spitfire Book 1)

by
Nicole French


$2.99

Skylar Ellen Crosby is a typical redhead: blunt, passionate, with a bit of a temper. Okay, so maybe she gets in her own head sometimes. At the end of her third year at Harvard Law, all Skylar wants is to figure out her next steps: ones that will hopefully include a job, an apartment, and enough money to help her father stop getting into trouble. She can't afford to be distracted these days anyway, especially not by men. She simply has no room for romance, especially the kind that might break your heart. But on a dark, snowy night, when she's stranded in the living room of the notorious CEO of Sterling Ventures and one of the best attorneys in Boston, all of those boundaries are about to be knocked down.

Brandon Sterling never believed in fate. A man of his own making, he firmly credits his successes to hard work. How else could you explain his rise from the poorest of backgrounds in South Boston to becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the city? Now he's living in the lap of luxury, and it's never mattered to him that increasing success meant increased isolation in his big house on Beacon Street. After all, when you have everything, everyone else always wants something. Then he walks in to find a feisty redhead sitting on his windowsill. Suddenly, the idea of love at first sight seems like the most plausible thing in the world...if only the one person he wants to give his heart to would actually take it.

Together, Skylar and Brandon have the kind of passion few hope to find, but things keep getting in their way. Between school, business, her father's gambling troubles and Brandon's history of personal struggle, will their complicated lives prevent them from making it work together? Or, as they both suspect somewhere deep down, have they finally met their match in each other's hearts?

Echoes of Stone and Fire (Hannah's Heirloom Book 2)

by

Rosie Chapel
Kindle Unlimited
Kindle Price $3.95

Pompeii was once a bustling port nestling under a forbidding mountain. Then in AD79, the mountain erupted, smothering the town under a thick blanket of ash and volcanic debris, leaving it lost for centuries. Now, rediscovered and a world renowned heritage site, archaeologists from across the globe yearn for an opportunity to uncover the town's past. Some things though, are best left alone - revealing the secrets hidden beneath the stones could prove perilous.

Eighteen months have passed since Hannah and Max left Masada, Herod's isolated fortress in the Judaean desert. The place where, just as they admitted their feelings for each other, they were wrenched apart. Hannah slipped into an ancient world, discovering how her ancestor had received the ruby clasp - her talisman. Somehow she survived the ensuing tragedy and Max's love was strong enough to bring her home. Since then, Hannah has had no awareness of her ancient counterpart and wonders whether the slender thread that united them had been broken, lost beyond time, leaving only a memory.

On a spur of the moment trip to Rome, familiar dreams recur. Unable to recognize where her ancestor is, but realizing that she is not on Masada, Hannah struggles to understand the reason behind her visions. Then, a chance meeting with two friends sees Hannah and Max invited to join an excavation team, one whose goal is to determine what lies beneath the ruins of Pompeii. Although excited to be a part of such an investigation, Hannah experiences a growing sense of unease, an unnamed fear circling at the edges of her consciousness.

Her worlds begin to converge and Hannah realizes to her horror, that her fear, this reconnection of minds, must be related to Vesuvius and that the woman she is bound to was actually in Pompeii before the eruption. Hoping she can somehow warn her ancestor without being drawn back into her other life, Hannah tries to convey her knowledge through her dreams.

As before however, fate intervenes. After entering a house which bears a Hebrew inscription, Hannah falls back through time. Although familiar with this fusion of souls, she still has to rely on her instincts to adjust to life in ancient Pompeii. A world where her ancestor is a physician to gladiators engaged in mortal combat, where riotous mobs run amok and where a ghost from the past returns to haunt her. All the while knowing she needs to save her family from the devastation that will befall this town.

Will Hannah escape the cataclysmic eruption? Can she persuade her loved ones to flee before burning debris engulfs the town? Will she ever find her way back to Max the love of her life waiting, not so patiently, millennia away? Or will echoes be all that remain?
