Southern Charmed Billionaire by Kristin Frasier  

southerncharmed400x600About Southern Charmed Billionaire by Kristin Frasier

I’m just a girl from Brooklyn.
And I most certainly do not belong on the arm of a Billionaire in the swanky Charleston socialite scene at night.
I belong behind a white apron, doing what I love. Being a chef.
But I suddenly lost my job when my cousin’s band fell apart.
Somehow fate caused him to stand by a corner in a dark hallway at my cousin’s concert of the year and I crashed straight into him and literally fell head over his heels.
Him.
Charleston’s most eligible bachelor and best dressed.
I just needed a new phone.
But he offered me a new job instead.

This is a standalone novel with a HEA. Warning, this 70k novel contains steamy scenes not suitable for some audiences.

down the road to key west book coverAbout Down The Road To Key West:

If you’re looking for clever fun with zany characters, a blossoming romance, and electric high adventure, this one’s for you! Reisig’s newest offering is guaranteed to keep you locked to your seat and slapping at the pages, while burbling up a giggle or two.
In the fifth book of this series, our reluctant Caribbean heroes, Kansas Stamps and Will Bell, find themselves competing for the affections of a beautiful antiquities dealer and searching for the lost treasure of perhaps Mexico’s most renowned desperado/national hero. In the meantime, they’re doing their best to avoid a nasty collection of south-of-the-border bandits who want what they want.
Tie this together with an ancient legend, a mysterious tribe of Indians, and a tale of vengeance that can only be resolved with “Pancho’s gold,” and you’ll find yourself headed … “Down The Road To Key West.”

He now lives in the mountains of Arkansas, where he hunts and fishes, and writes, but he still escapes to the Caribbean for an occasional adventure

Keeping Katie by Patricia Keelyn  

Patricia_Katie300dpi350x560About Keeping Katie by Patricia Keelyn:

Maura Anderson was out of options.

Her adopted daughter, three-year-old Katie, is her entire world, and no heartless legal system was going to take her baby away. She did what any mother would do. She grabbed Katie and ran—even if it meant breaking the law.

Sheriff Alan Parks believes in the law, following it and enforcing it to the letter. Then Maura Anderson shows up in his small, quiet town, and he knows she’s running from something. At first, he assumes she’s running from someone – an ex-husband or boyfriend – but when she won’t confide in him he starts wondering. Who is this woman who’s captured his heart, and what or who is she afraid? When he finds the answers, however, a part of him wishes he’d never asked the question. Because how can he help her when he represented what she’s fleeing . . . the law.

Falling in Love  

SOTH_FIL_smallAbout Falling in Love:

FREE: April 25-29
Katie Morgan has her future planned. It doesn’t include becoming serious about anyone before she achieves her goals, not even her handsome boss. Just because she does not have time to date, doesn’t mean her boss shouldn’t. Her new mission…to make her boss happy, whether or not he wants to be.

Wade McAlester fell in love with Katie the first day she walked into his clinic looking for a job. He hired her, content to settle for friendship until she lives out her dream of becoming a vet. Against his better judgment, Wade allows her to fix him up with a couple of her friends. The dates are disastrous. He can’t believe the kind of women Katie seems to think he’d enjoy spending his life with. However, when Wade’s old colleague, Dr. Laura Redmond shows up, Katie is rethinking how happy she wants her boss to be, and with whom. Definitely not the gorgeous doctor.

Author Bio:
Having raised six children, I realize how busy and hectic schedules can be, which is why I decided to begin writing novelettes–for the busy reader on-the-go. Now you can enjoy a shorter story when you don’t have time to sit down and read a novel. These are the perfect length book to read when you are waiting in a doctor or dentist office, trying to kill time while your child is at practice or a school sporting event, etc. I have waited for children a lot over the years, or at the doctor/dentist visit, and it helps when you have something you can do. It’s also nice when you can read a book for entertainment for less than the price of a cup of coffee!

I hope you will enjoy not only my novelettes, but all of my longer stories as well. I can’t thank you enough for your continued support and hope that you are truly blessed in the year to come–Thank You!

And for generations it worked. Talia’s hermit lifestyle protected her from strong Luminaries that want her power. All that changed the day Mason Rathbone walked into her life.

A good-looking artist, Mason is just the guy to get Talia out of her penthouse apartment and show her what it means to live again. But just as she starts to get comfortable, Talia gets sucked right back into her vicious past.

The Children of Darkness  

COD-cover-100x150About The Children of Darkness:

“But what are we without dreams?”

A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.

Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.

In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.

Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”

Author Bio:
The urge to write first struck at age sixteen when working on a newsletter at a youth encampment in the woods of northern Maine. It may have been the wild night when lightning flashed at sunset followed by the northern lights rippling after dark. Or maybe it was the newsletter’s editor, a girl with eyes the color of the ocean. But he was inspired to write about the blurry line between reality and the fantastic.

Using two fingers and lots of white-out, he religiously typed five pages a day throughout college and well into his twenties. Then life intervened. He paused to raise two sons and pursue a career, in the process — and without prior plan — becoming a well-known entrepreneur in the software industry, founding several successful companies. When he found time again to daydream, the urge to write returned.

David and his wife split their time between Cape Cod, Florida and anywhere else that catches their fancy. He no longer limits himself to five pages a day and is thankful every keystroke for the invention of the word processor.



The Life of an Akita -Chow Mix by Avril Herbert  

Book-Cover-3About The Life of an Akita -Chow Mix by Avril Herbert:

Hello my name is Rusty I am a large seventy five pound Akita Chow mix dog. I remember my days as a little cute seven pound puppy everybody thought I was so adorable people would stop to say hello and wanted to stroke me and times where good, sadly as I got older people became afraid of me for no reason because of my breeds but there was always one thing I could count on my loving family and a forever home.

I will take you on my life journey from when I was a newborn puppy with my mother and siblings to my last days with my family and I will share with you how the actions of all humans help shape our behavior.

I will share with you some off my favorite places to visit as dogs we always love new adventures but as I look back I think of some of the memories that did not make it into my story such as my family trying to train me to carry the mail or bring them my leash before a walk. As I sit here thinking of these things I’m sitting with my paw over my face shaking my head and thinking Oh wow how that training did not go to well for starters I ended my getting doggie slobber over the mail, so they got wet mail.

Animals are sent to humans for a reason and many people have forgotten why. Maybe this is why so many pets end up at shelters. Do we find you or do you find us? If you are someone who has forgotten why then the answers will be in my story. I am extremely blessed that my mother can see the world through my eyes, listen to me and tell my story for me and hopefully it may just help one of my four legged friends from being taken to a shelter.

At the end of my story make sure to read the note from my mother she will let you know how blessed she feels and talks about her own thoughts from being a mother to us to how we discriminate dogs for being certain breeds.

I will say goodbye and leave you for now but I hope to be seeing you all soon reading my story.
Love from your four legged pal
Rusty

Only, the irresistible desire she feels toward her partner is neither expected nor wanted.
