Make Me Believe (Jilted: The Bride) by Tarina Deaton
About Make Me Believe (Jilted: The Bride) by Tarina Deaton
It was always the two of them. Rowan and Luke. Luke and Rowan. Until it wasn’t.
He walked away to follow his dreams. She eventually moved on without him and learned to believe again in the possibility of happily ever after. Until Luke walked back in—in a big, viral social media, way.
Luke learned dreams were hollow without someone to share them with. Now he’ll do anything to make Rowan believe she is the most important thing in the world to him—more important than the fame and the fans.
Jilted and gun-shy, Rowan isn’t sure she has it in her to trust again. The bright lights of Music City create deep shadows where secrets and lies thrive and believing in someone might be the hardest thing she’s ever had to do.

About The Asylum by Aaron Paul Lazar
Carmen has a secret, and his name is Dr. Micah Worthy.
Affairs aren’t permitted between staff members at St. Michael’s Asylum, but Carmen and her handsome young psychiatrist find a way to sneak in a kiss or two in empty storerooms when no one’s looking. It doesn’t take long for her suspicions to rise, however, as she gets to know some of the patients. Why are some kept locked in their rooms, doped to the gills? And where are the two-dozen patients whose names appear on the med lists, but whom she’s never met? Moreover, what’s so forbidden about the ancient passages snaking beneath the two-hundred-year old monastery?
Something’s off in the asylum, and when nothing seems to add up, Carmen and Micah unite to uncover the truth.
When staff members learn she’s on to them, the threats begin. Can Carmen report her findings before she ends up in the icy Atlantic?

A Vegetable Garden Adventure by Daniel D. Horvat
About A Vegetable Garden Adventure by Daniel D. Horvat
As they moved with parents to their new house, a sister and a brother found a silkworm inside a garden’s shed that was trapped inside a pendant of a necklace, together with a brief saying: Read this saying in a single breath to become small and set free the silkworm by blowing through the hole on the backside of the pendant! So they did, but nothing strange happened. Children didn’t become small. They promised the silkworm to come and try again the next day. Then they went to eat their dinner and to sleep. Believing in the message and a saying the boy wisely picked up a dry dandelion and put it together with a pencil on the nightstand close to their beds. He was thinking ahead of time how to get out of the house and arrive at the garden’s shed if they were going to become small. The next morning they woke up in a size of a pea! They’ve read the saying the right way, only it resulted with a slight delay! They needed to find a way how to reach the garden’s shed. Beside their great desire to help the silkworm, this was their only chance to grow back again, because the saying included even this: When you complete the task, return to the place where you became little, so you could grow back again.
Children felt slightly scared of being so little, considering how everything else around them seemed strangely huge. Regardless, they were coping with fears together, encouraging one another, becoming more reliable on each other as of themselves. Believing in their achievement gave them the courage for a 3-days journey across the garden, where they met lots of animals that were helping them at their most difficult moments.
Besides being fascinating, the story is created and structured to serve well all children whether toddlers or young adults, to put it in small words, for young readers. From 5 to 12 years of age. It is based on continuous action for achieving the ultimate goal and not giving it up, though it seems difficult sometimes. Believing in oneself and your dearest (brother and sister) and supporting each other when coping with fears, the kind of support that creates the power of will to go beyond the limit. Emotions are present in several situations so children could understand what brother and sister are facing in the story and how they feel in different situations, bringing closer the way they comfort each other and how they cope with their own troubles.
That experience is present in the story, regardless the fact it’s not mentioned that many times. It doesn’t show explicitly. The key element that makes this story so fascinating, witty and humorous is the educational part where even adults can learn a thing or a few about vegetables and garden animals, their function and duties, as even their particular characteristics. How can a caterpillar swing on a leaf without falling? How can a grasshopper jump so high? Why does a snail crawl slowly, and what is the purpose of his tentacles? Why gophers keep their eyes closed and have no ears?
The story explains it all!
You like to enjoy with your child a fascinating and original story, which includes educational content filled with emotions and encourages the accomplishment of the goal and not giving up, no matter how hard the task feels sometimes. Then the book A Vegetable Garden Adventure is the right choice for you!

About WARATAH: From the Ashes of the Vietnam War, Grew a Spirit that would not be Stopped
Ha-Le Thai knew that escaping Vietnam for freedom in a cramped, leaking boat would not be easy. She imagined that building a new life in Australia, from little more than a hope and a dream, would stretch her courage and strength to its limits. But the warrior and refugee never guessed that her biggest challenge of all would be motherhood.
A product of two cultures, Ha Le’s daughter is educated, confident and excited to introduce her Australian boyfriend to the family. As a protective mother, Ha-Le must overcome beliefs of the past and embrace the future she’s fought so hard for. But when a darker secret is revealed, Ha- Le finds herself once more a warrior caught on a battlefield. This time, however, cruel words and stony silences replace beatings and famine; the emotional warfare somehow taking a greater toll.
Past and present collide as Ha Le searches her history to try and make sense of her heartbreak. She might have overcome the threat of death and communism, but she’s never truly escaped the ghosts that keep her light from shining. In this tale of strength and vulnerability, love and loss, life journeys and self-discovery, Ha Le must save her family a second time by returning to where her story began.

Owl Manor – the Dawning
Sometimes the tide sweeps us into a fog where dark forces are at work…
All of a sudden evil and good become blurred…
Powerless and defenseless, we swim toward it, and wonder if we’re going mad.
Stifled by the repression of women in the 1800s, trapped in a loveless marriage, Eva lives a life of dissatisfaction and frustration. The tide sweeps her to the Rocky Mountains during the gold rush in 1859, where she finds unexpected hope at Owl Manor, a strange, dark place with owls in the very fabric of its walls.
But the stakes are perilous. Shadows wander the dim corridors. The owner of the manor is moody, volatile. Does she dare trust him?
Owl Manor – the Dawning, the first standalone book in a trilogy of Gothic romantic suspense novels, is inspired by authors such as Daphne du Maurier (Jamaica Inn, Rebecca), Carlos Ruiz Zafon (Marina, Shadow of the Wind), Kate Morton (The Forgotten Garden).
Filled with Poe-esque atmosphere, dark desires and supernatural elements, this book is a must read for fans of Gothic Romance.

Author Bio:
Zita Harrison, writer, artist, is a lover of Gothic literature. Dark personalities and settings, tortured romance, the supernatural. An avid reader of ghost stories as a child, she fell in love with Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte in high school. For her masters in English literature, she did a thesis on Gothic literature vs. the work of Pablo Picasso, who once said: “A work of art must make a man react, feel strongly … He must be seized by the throat and shaken up … he has to be made aware of the world he’s living in and for that he must first be jolted out of it.” Zita writes with this very purpose in mind. Owl Manor – the Dawning is the first of a trilogy of Gothic Romantic Suspense novels Zita is working on. Next in the installment is Owl Manor – Abigail. Zita Harrison lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband.

Forbidden Daddy
First thing’s first.
This is a zero judgment zone.
So when I tell you I hired a total babe as my boy’s nanny…
You won’t criticize my decision making skills.
There is one other thing…
Said babe is my best friend’s little sis – and I don’t know how the h*ll I’ll be able to keep my hands off her.
It’s been years since I last saw her.
And, boy is she all grown up.
Breathtaking eyes that can see right through me…
And luscious curves for days.
I can’t help but think about her putting my son to bed…
Only to sneak into my room after…
For one WILD night.
I can’t just betray my best friend.
She’s everything that’s forbidden.
And everything I need.
So I pushed her away.
Now, she’s gone for good.
And so is the baby she’s carrying.
Our baby.
F*ck what anyone says – I’m going after the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I’m not turning back.
