Doctor, Doctor: A True Story of Obsession, Addiction and Psychological Manipulation by Merry Freer
About Doctor, Doctor: A True Story of Obsession, Addiction and Psychological Manipulation by Merry Freer:
As much a well-crafted mystery as a memoir, “Doctor, Doctor” is a detailed study in the ways we fool ourselves while in the pursuit of something we want – or think we want.
Raised in a dysfunctional 1950’s family and restrained for years by a marriage of convenience, Susan takes a big leap into the world as a single woman. Although smart and successful in a controlled and stable workplace, she has been taught since childhood to substitute her own judgement for that of others, leaving her naïve, gullible and ill-prepared to effectively manage the complexities of her new life.
When Susan meets Mark, a charismatic and charming doctor, she thinks she has found the kind of love and passion she has longed for. But things are not as they appear with Mark, and slowly she becomes aware of the deceptive life he is leading. Seeking counsel and solace in a trusted therapist, she encourages Mark to accompany her to a session.
The three year odyssey begins with intense therapy – appointments orchestrated by a psychiatrist who develops a personal stake in the couple’s progress. Secrets, lies, and silent pacts draw Susan, inexperienced and trusting, deeply into Mark’s treatment plan. The shrewd therapist’s unorthodox and manipulative schemes break all the rules, taking Susan into a world of drama, deceit, betrayal, and an excruciatingly close encounter with the law – an encounter that forces her to choose between saving Mark or saving herself.

All In: Double or Nothing by Lane Hart
About All In: Double or Nothing by Lane Hart:
Lauren Jefferson is a sweet, sexy woman who has always had terrible luck in life. She started “exotic dancing” when she was sixteen to keep a roof over her and her mother’s head. Now she’s twenty, fed up with her worthless, drug abusing mother, and trying to claw her way out of her shitty life.
Tyler Evans is a cocky police officer who responds to Lauren’s accident on Friday the thirteenth, when some idiot runs a red light and hits her. Sparks fly, and Tyler and Lauren make plans to meet up later that night. Unfortunately, duty calls, and Tyler gets held up at work.
While waiting for Tyler to show up to the bar, Lauren is approached by Caleb, a gorgeous man who says all the right things. Giving up on her MIA LEO, Lauren is instantly drawn to the fun loving Caleb, and looking forward to seeing where the night takes the two of them.
As luck would have it, when Tyler finally shows up at the bar an hour late, he’s shocked to find Lauren in the arms of another man. Not just any man, but his best friend. After Lauren holds back from Caleb the reason she showed up at the bar in the first place, Tyler gives up and cuts his losses, at least until Caleb brings Lauren home.
Lauren can’t stop thinking about Tyler, but at the same time she’s also falling for Caleb. Her indecision leads her to cross a few lines, and when Caleb heads off to basic training for ten weeks, Tyler and Lauren can’t help themselves. When Caleb returns home, he’s not ready to throw in the towel and walk away.
Caleb convinces Tyler to take a gamble, giving Lauren a chance to start over and date both of them at the same time. Tyler wants to be 100% sure that he’s the only man for Lauren, so he agrees to foolishly share her with Caleb. After that, all bets are off. Emotions run high, and somehow the three will end up in a no holds barred game, where the winner takes all.

The Haircut: A New Year’s Tale
About The Haircut: A New Year’s Tale:
Her hair is her crowning glory.
Leaving it all on the barber’s floor is the only way she can ever hope to break free.
Two days after Christmas, 1948, in a city that could be New York, a princess prepares to get a life-altering haircut. She’s from an Eastern European principality that, since the war, no longer exists, and she’s being forced to marry an obscenely rich American industrialist who’s got a disturbing hair fetish. He’s aroused only by her amazingly long, glorious hair. So to save herself, she decides to get it all cut off. But she doesn’t count on falling in love with the handsome young barber who refuses, for as long as he can, to do her bidding. Nor does the barber, still grieving for his wife who died giving birth two years previously, count on becoming entranced by the strangest customer he’s ever encountered. Even after she’s beaten beyond recognition for her act of rebellion, he finds the terribly battered, nearly bald former princess irresistible, and does all he can to help her. Add to the mix an open-minded angel from the Old Country whose specialty is New Year’s Eve, and the fairy tale begins to take a more adult turn. Ultimately, it’s a love story that weaves whimsy with romance, along with more serious themes, as it underscores the timelessness and hope of the season in which it’s set.

About See You:
An Amazon Hot New Release in Literary Fiction .99 Promo price through January 2
You will laugh loudly. You will cry ugly. You’ll find it hard to forget Jack and Emma.
Sometimes something is so good that it’s worth having, even when you know that you can’t keep it.
See You is not a romance, but it is a love story, one filled with the rawness of risk and redemption and the dry humor that is the backbone of the South.
Emma has loved Jack since she was a little girl. But he was more than 20 years older and was raised by her grandmother, Miss Margret, so he’s always been more of an uncle than anything else. He’s never seen Emma as anything but a child.
Jack’s been gone for ten years and Emma is now raising her daughter in the same house where she and Jack were raised. But she’s never stopped loving Jack. When he finally comes home for one last visit, everything Emma thinks she knows and believes will be challenged.
Jack has made no secret of the fact that he’ll probably be dead within a year. He does have one secret though, a secret he’s protected for years; and that secret could change everything.
However, he also has a plan. When Emma agrees to it, she knows she’s volunteering for a pain she can’t prepare for.
Can something be so good that it’s worth allowing it to break your heart? Emma and Jack are about to find out, because this homecoming won’t be anything either of them expected.

About Logistics of a Criminal:
Trapped in a Brazilian slum, Alico wants more than his humble, hard-working parents can provide. Surrounded by poverty on every side, the young man sees only one escape—membership in the Favela Kid, a local gang led by the charismatic Endo.
Endo has everything Alico could desire—money, food, fine possessions, and women. Alico idolizes the gang leader, not knowing his hero will betray him when he needs help the most.
In trouble with the law and cast adrift from the Favela Kid, Alico heads to the United States. His parents hope their son can make a new, honest life in his new home, but Alico sees the land of opportunity differently—a place to exercise and hone his criminal skills until his luck runs out.
Now Alico’s arrived home, ready for an explosive conflict with Endo and his former gang brothers. His chances are slim, but Alico has one important weapon at his disposal: the Logistics of a Criminal.
Author A. Alico weaves a dark, exciting tale of crime, poverty, and revenge, where only the most cunning and hardened of criminals has a hope of survival. Logistics of a Criminal shocks and surprises with every twist.

The Cleansing (Earth Haven: Book 1) by Sam Kates
About The Cleansing (Earth Haven: Book 1) by Sam Kates:
Apocalypse unleashed, the Cleansing begins. Relentless. Survival, uncertain.
Seven billion people inhabit this world, unaware our destruction is at hand. Death arrives unheralded—swift and nearly certain—not from meteors or nuclear holocaust or global warming, but from a source no one even knows exists.
The architects of doom have moved among us, hidden in plain sight, waiting for the signal to trigger our extinction.
Blindsided, humanity falls. A handful of survivors, bewildered and grief-stricken, must face the new reality, and quickly. For while the Cleansing threatens our existence, it is only the beginning. . . .
*** Discounted from $3.99 to $0.99 from 23rd December 2014 until 8th January 2015 to mark publication of its sequel, The Beacon (Earth Haven: Book 2) on 9th January. ***

Author Bio:
Sam Kates writes science fiction and dystopia (the Earth Haven series), horror (The Village of Lost Souls), short stories (Pond Life), and general fiction. During his fifty years on this planet, he has spent a lot of time dreaming of other worlds (fortunately for him, he has a very understanding family) and started committing those worlds to a hard drive in his early thirties. He has held a variety of jobs, from lawyer to barman, but has gained more satisfaction from working as a writer than from all the others combined; knowing that even one reader has been entertained by his stories is all the job satisfaction he needs. Kates lives by the three Rs: reading, writing, and rugby. Outside of writing, his main ambition is to see Wales beat the New Zealand All Blacks to win the Rugby World Cup.

TOP 100 LEGAL THRILLER AUTHOR
After a lifetime of writing poetry, books, nonfiction, and legal documents, it was author Ray Bradbury’s friendship and encouragement that finally inspired Dale E. Manolakas to pursue writing as a career. He taught her that the characters wrote the book–she didn’t. Raised just outside Los Angeles by a surgeon father and a homemaker-author mother, Dale E. Manolakas had always aspired to an acting career, but also had to make a living.
Dale E. Manolakas earned her B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles, and M.A., M.S., Ph.D. and J.D. degrees from the University of Southern California. She is a member of the California Bar, had the privilege of clerking for The Honorable Arthur L. Alarcón at the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, was a litigator in two major Los Angeles law firms, and a senior appellate attorney at the California Court of Appeals, as well as an Administrative Law Judge.
Before that, she taught at the high school, adult school, and university levels, and holds a public administrative services credential. In addition, she has pursued her passion for acting, primarily on the stage, but also in film and television. She is a member of both Actors’ Equity and SAG-AFTRA. She also has raised three very independent daughters and lives with her husband, a retired attorney, in an otherwise animal-free environment in California.

About Infernal:
Neva Raines is the only person who believes the death of her brother Daniel isn’t what it appears. Pumped full of drugs and dumped in a London underpass, the circumstances surrounding his murder—and their mother’s record as an addict—lead people to all the wrong assumptions. But Neva knows Daniel, who watched their mother fight her own demons for years, would never have walked that same path.
Determined to follow leads the police have no interest in pursuing, Neva goes on the hunt for Daniel’s killers. Instead, she finds Konstantyn. He’s dangerous, seductive, and seems to know something about Daniel’s murder. Getting information out of him proves impossible—as does keeping a safe distance.
As her world spirals ever deeper into sex clubs, corruption, and rumours of occult influences, nothing Neva has is safe: not her mind, her heart, or her life. If she can’t find a way out of the mess that claimed Daniel’s life, she’s in danger of losing all three.

Foreshadowed by Holly M. Campbell
About Foreshadowed by Holly M. Campbell:
Hope Murdoch was born dead. She took a breath two minutes later and now is an almost-normal sixteen-year-old. Normal: a hopeless crush on the boy next door, a negative body image, and a (mis)diagnosis of ADHD. Not-so-normal: an exhausting and distracting ability to read minds. High school is hard enough without hearing what everyone really thinks of you.
Lance Hampton used to be normal until a car accident killed him and his parents. Paramedics brought him back to a life he doesn’t want: orphaned, uprooted, living with his uncle, and suddenly able to see how people die. At his new school, he tries to keep to himself. Seeing how complete strangers die is torture enough, let alone friends.
At first glance, Hope doesn’t think much of Lance (though a lot of the other girls do). He looks like the typical bad boy. No thank-you … but then she meets his eyes and everything goes dark. She hears labored breathing. Rapid footsteps. And then a thud as someone falls to the ground. Inside Lance’s head, Hope just witnessed a vision of murder … her own.
Together, Hope and Lance try to catch a killer before he’s red-handed. A killer who could be anywhere. Anyone. Sure Hope can read minds and Lance can see death, but they still can’t see in the dark.
