About THE ELFKIN JOURNALS: Blending of the Races by JDeVereS

Warder Garith De’ Graoin and Doctor Lan De Tian lead a team of “Misfits” on a quest to save their universe from a plague that is sweeping through an entire civilization. Utilizing the power of bonded mind stones, they shape the energies of the universe to reach across time and space seeking out the enemy.

As the most elite team of Warders in the Elfkin Federation… they are assigned the responsibility to enter an alternate universe… find the weakness in the aggressor’s system and stop the plague. Unfortunately, the enemy they face possesses genetic mutations that make them the equivalent of ‘minor gods’.

Tragically, this team knows that the reason their universe is under attack is the result of their Federation meddling in the affairs of the alternate universe. To win… they must save ‘the Mother’, defeat a minor god, and restore order to the alternate universe.

What can this tiny team of 7 multi-racial Elfkins do against an entire Empire?

WIN! They either win or two civilizations will devolve into primal chaos.

From their tiny resort camp on the third planet from a minor sun… they must embark on a journey that does not understand the concept of time as a linear progression. They must win a battle using the curvature of time and the energies of two universal sources.

In this battle there is no safe place to hide… your dreams, your future, your past… even the shadows of the night are all susceptible to attack.

About The Honeymooner: A Paradise Bay Romantic Comedy, Book 1

From bestselling author Melanie Summers comes the wickedly funny, ridiculously romantic spinoff of her highly-acclaimed Crown Jewels Series…

Twenty-eight-year-old workaholic Libby Dewitt lives by the motto ‘if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.’ She’s finally about to start her dream life with her steady-as-a-rock fiancé, Richard Tomy. Together, they’re the perfect power couple—right down to the fact that he’s agreed to use their honeymoon to help further her career in mergers and acquisitions. But ten minutes before the wedding, her dreams dissolve via text message.
Devastated and humiliated, Libby escapes to Paradise Bay alone. She’s got two goals for her trip: to devise a plan to get Richard back and to convince resort owner Harrison Banks to sell his property to her company. Unfortunately, when she arrives, she discovers that tall, dark, and built Harrison is not about to make anything easy for her.
Instead, he derails her plans while at the same time, bringing out a side of Libby she’s kept carefully tucked away—a carefree, adrenaline junkie. After a few days together, Harrison’s got her wondering if the life she always wanted was meant for some other girl. Suddenly, Libby must decide which version of herself she wants to be.

Will she go back to her comfortable, safe life, or risk everything to be with the only man who’s ever made her feel truly alive?

Author Bio:
Melanie Summers is the best-selling author of nine novels and counting. After getting her start in contemporary romance, she now writes romantic comedy and women’s fiction.
She lives in Edmonton, Canada, with her husband, their three sporty nerd children, one adorable one-eyed dog, and one tiny Havanese dictator with a cute little brown nose. When she’s not writing novels, she loves reading (obviously), snuggling up on the couch with her family for movie night (which would not be complete without lots of popcorn and milkshakes), and long walks in the woods near her house. Melanie also spends a lot more time thinking about doing yoga than actually doing yoga, which is why most of her photos are taken ‘from above’. She also loves shutting down restaurants with her girlfriends. Well, not literally shutting them down, like calling the health inspector or something. More like just staying until they turn the lights off.

About The Fugitive’s Trail (The Sean Kruger Series Book 1)

After A Wall Street Murder The FBI Has Their Suspect, But Do The Facts Add Up?

In the lobby of a prestigious Wall Street investment firm, one man is dead and another seriously injured. The man accused of the crime now a fugitive.

When the Director of the FBI personally orders Special Agent Sean Kruger to New York City to find the fugitive, Kruger questions the reason. Told to shut up and do his job, he starts looking into the case. What he finds is troubling. Eye-witness accounts seem contrived with little variance between individual testimonies.

As the investigation unfolds, he discovers the only information known about the fugitive is a HR file from a former employer. Public records of the man do not exist.

The fugitive is a ghost, a ghost who has disappeared.

˃˃˃ Uncovering The Conspiracy
When Kruger unearths information the investment firm lied about the incident in the lobby, he learns there is a possibility the fugitive was defending himself. He also discovers another individual is searching for the fugitive. An individual who has no interest in allowing the truth to be discovered.

˃˃˃ When the cat and mouse game turns lethal, Kruger must use all of his skills and experience to find the truth, protect the fugitive, and ultimately stay alive.

About A Summer of New Beginnings

Jetting from wooden huts on stilts in turquoise seas to boutique hotels with roaring fires to 7* penthouse suites with panoramic views of the world’s most glamorous cities… Zara knows hers is the definition of a dream job!

So she is seriously shocked to receive her next assignment; Scotland’s Northcoast 500 route. By bicycle. Sleeping in a tent so basic it can’t remotely be dressed up as glamping!

About The Lamb that lay down with The Wolf by Toni Rogers

“If you like Game Of Thrones then you will love this modern adaptation. Terribly explicit, simply delightful the only thing missing is the fiery massacre. You will get attached to The Lamb that lay down with The Wolf. Good luck!” – Maxim Ed

Ever since Lucy’s last visit to see her cousin in Sweden some 15 years ago, Lucy Fellows had developed a self-confessed obsession with all things Scandinavian. It was during that visit she discovered her first feelings of true love; swept up and ravaged by Elias, a 6ft blonde Adonis who emerged from the crystal-clear waters of the nearby swimming lake. Now at the age of 39, single and childfree, she was excited to be reuniting with cousin Christina and her new husband Eric Karlsson. Lucy secretly hoping their planned 3-day trip to Iceland would forge lasting memories and go some way toward binding this splintered family together once more.

Christina had every reason to stay in Sweden following the break-up of her marriage to Olas (a two-timing factory worker from Gothenburg). Eric Karlsson worked at her local farm shop and it was from this vantage point he had stealthily observed Christina’s marriage fall apart. Waiting patiently for his moment, Eric set about removing Christina’s vulnerability with his own ‘special’ formula of loving.

After 15 years, will the meet-up of the two cousins be as smooth as the black sands of Reynisfjara or as heated as the volcanic rock of Helka? Will the man mountain that is Eric be irresistibly drawn to the vulnerable charm of spinster Lucy or can he resist satisfying his hunger for the fruit forbidden?

Toni Rogers is the adventurous alter ego of the very wholesome, sincere and qualified relational therapist behind the stories. While she might also be a mother and school parent governor, there’s nothing but classy erotic romance bubbling right beneath the surface!

Tired of keeping them hidden inside the day job, her therapy role provides a depth to the understanding of multi-sex relationships that can’t help but enlarge the fictional characters on the page. Toni’s ability to give the reader the same experience in a novelette than from a much longer read, is down to a combination of a life full of adventure and a focus on three main exciting characters at any one time.

If you want sinfully taboo relationships set in exotic locations and/or unusual situtations this author is for you! (Just don’t tell her clients…)

Born in South Jersey in the Summer of ’86. Living everywhere else.
Most known for the books that make up “The Mire Man Trilogy”, his autobiographical tome, “The Slut Always Rides Shotgun”, and several volumes of poetry and short stories, Matthes has been writing for a little over twenty years, but only somewhat recently having tapped into the world of self-publishing. Rather than limiting himself with writing one single genre, Matthes prefers to explore as many topics and themes as possible, while lyricizing those themes through as many different genres as he can. Working during the day, and in many cases all through the night, as a service technician for the restaurant industry, Matthes drives or flies from state to state; travels which he draws much of his inspiration from that oftentimes bleeds quite literally onto the blank page to form what eventually becomes a novel or work of poetry.
