DON’T TELL by Willow Rose  

About DON’T TELL by Willow Rose

This novel is based on actual events.
One close-knit family. Too many secrets.

When detective Jack Ryder is going skiing with his family in the mountains of North Carolina, he hopes for a week of fun in the snow with the ones he loves.

But then the body of a teenage boy turns up in the cold waters of the creek behind the cabin they have rented.

Don’t tell or you might be next.

The find shocks the rural community of Maggie Valley and rattles local law enforcement. What happened to the boy is more than strange.

Soon more bodies are found, and Jack Ryder digs into the case that seems to be anything but ordinary. What happened on the night that Benjamin Rutherford disappeared from the porch of his childhood home? Is his father — the local pastor — telling the truth? Is his sister?

As Jack digs deeper into this seemingly perfect family, he begins to wonder if any of them are what they pretend to be and what secrets they are hiding beneath the surface.

DON’T TELL is the seventh book in Willow Rose’s bestselling and addictive Jack Ryder series but can be read as a standalone.

Baby Daddy from Hell by Kelly Dunn  

About Baby Daddy from Hell by Kelly Dunn

“Baby Daddy from Hell” is a self-help book based on a true story of how I went from NO child custody to 100% FULL custody by starting new habits and being consistent. It is filled with first-hand knowledge, such as critical note-keeping, defined parenting time, and detailed court preparation.

From alcohol to drugs to domestic violence (all in excess), police involvement was nothing short of expected. Lies upon lies, his narcissism gave me skyrocketing anxiety. One day it hit me: Turn a negative (-) into a positive (+), hence “Baby Daddy from Hell” was born.

I wrote this book to educate and empower single parents who struggle with effective communication, smooth exchanges, ongoing harassment, and/or court preparation (if it comes to that).

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

*Establish boundaries
*Handle harassment
*Divert arguments
*Redirect emotions
*Prepare for court
*Put children first
*Make hard choices
*Stay the course

It is liberating to know if I can survive that and come out on top, nothing is impossible. The word itself says “I’m possible.” Don’t make the same mistake I did; don’t be naïve. Take initiative and educate yourself. Knowledge is power. Better to be safe than sorry. You never know what the future holds.

Author Bio:
My adventure into the world of writing began just as my life was coming to an end, or at least it seemed that way for a time. When I was 15, I was diagnosed with Recurrent Idiopathic Pericarditis. Overnight, I went from a typical teenager with great parents, growing up in Cochrane- snowboarding, mountain biking, and playing any sport with a ball- to being laid up in bed for weeks at a time in terrible pain. Living in the deep north, we were 8 hours away from an MRI machine and for a while, things didn’t look so good as doctors struggled to figure out what was happening, and why. The pericarditis would come back a few times a year throughout my teenage years and for a while, I lost my way. I remember being rushed via air ambulance to Toronto and my Ante Linda had sent along a book for me, The Sword of Shannara, by Terry Brooks. I wasn’t a reader back then, and when I finally succumbed to the boredom (imagine being in a bed for weeks in a world before the Internet), I finally cracked the cover and my world was forever changed.



Sold into Freedom  

About Sold into Freedom

Taught to hear messages from the goddess from a young age, Elantia’s life is shattered when she is captured from her home in southwest Britannia and sold as a slave in Macedonia. She wants nothing more than to escape and return home—after she kills the man who took the only good thing left in her life.

Tossed aside by the Empire, wounded tribune Quintus Valerius ends up in sleepy Philippi to retire. Manipulated into becoming the prison keeper, he vows to return to Rome as soon as possible to reclaim his reputation and his life. He is intrigued by the quiet Jewish teacher who speaks of truth and peace, but is convinced he can never have either.

When Elantia’s shocking actions shake up the town and her life is threatened, Quintus risks what little he has left to save her—only to put Paulos and his friends in even greater danger.
