The Organ Broker: A Novel
About The Organ Broker: A Novel:
ON SALE FOR $1.99 ONLY FROM MAY 18TH TO 23RD. The Organ Broker was named one of five finalists for the 2015 Hammett Prize for literary excellence in crime writing (winner TBA in Cot. 2016; last year’s winner was Stephen King). It is the gripping story of an underground black market organ dealer known as “New York Jack.” For eighteen years Jack has been a “transplant tourism director,” sending wealthy Americans and Europeans in need of kidneys and other organs to third world countries where they would buy them from transplant centers on the take. The death of a client and a newfound relationship lead to a crisis of conscience as he is forced to choose between a two million dollar commission—and participating in a murder. Jack races to South Africa, Brazil, and beyond, just one step ahead of his adversary and the FBI, in search of one small act of redemption.
As a disaffected youth in the late eighties, Jack Trayner entered the criminal world, selling coke when he needed money to pay his way through college. Although he later graduated from law school, an opportunity to earn easy money eventually seduced him into the bizarre and illegal black market for organs—a business that some consider horrendous and a small number of others deem to be heroic. The dual nature of this business assuaged Jack’s guilt and allowed him to flourish, yet the death of a client makes what he is doing all too real.
The international black market sale of organs is very real and operates at this very moment behind closed hospital doors in many cities all around the world. It is a world that most people are only vaguely aware exists, and few of us know much, if anything, about, until now—in the pages of the confession of New York Jack.

About The Sound of Acquiescence by Candace Michelle:
A fictional erotica love story with twisted and knotted non-fictional pieces ingrained throughout the story. Sequoia trapped in a maelstrom of attraction for Slade Bayou; a man who knew her from their childhood however, she didn’t remember him. More so, she didn’t want a relationship; she didn’t even want to be bothered. She just wanted him to take the pressure off of “juicy”.
Slade and Sequoia knew it was dangerous if they crossed over the proverbial drawn line in the sand. Right now they only made love with words; sending each other words of the day or words not used in the English language. They were having the safest sex known to man. With their minds, by having a sapiosexual relationship which was satisfying enough. The games they played with words and having deep conversation caused mental tremors; the orgasmic release which it gave them, released just enough endorphin to produce a high. Truthfully though for how long?
It is like two children being told not to touch the stove. However, here they were both inching toward towards the heat. Convincing themselves it will only be a small contact burn. They can handle it. However when they do become intimate. They find out the chemistry between them causes an exothermic explosion of nuclear fission.

Wednesday (Love in Days Book 1) by Clare James
About Wednesday (Love in Days Book 1) by Clare James:
A #1 Amazon category bestseller!
Real. Raw. Insanely Sexy. WEDNESDAY is a stand-alone story.
*Book #2, Alex’s story, coming this summer!
Her. Him. Alone. Every Wednesday …
Twenty-one-year-old Aria Prince has just moved back to her hometown to start over after a painful divorce. She’s always prided herself on being an early bloomer, but had no idea she’d be married, divorced, and the mother of a toddler by twenty-one.
Unlike her friends who were at school, going to parties, and sowing their oats–wild and otherwise–Aria’s days were measured in the number of orders she took at her family’s restaurant, the chapters she read in her nursing text, the amount of Cheerios she cleaned up off the floor, and the wet kisses she received from her son.
And that was just fine with her.
But when she began running into her former best friend Tristan Green – who was home taking care of his sick father – she remembered what it felt like to be just Aria. Not a single mother, or sleep-deprived nursing student, or royal screw up. And though she didn’t even have time to shave her legs, let alone consider a sex life, Tristan makes an offer she’d be a fool to refuse.
Each day they’d give themselves to those who needed them. Every day – except Wednesday.
Wednesday, they’d take what they needed from each other.
*Wednesday is a gritty and intoxicating romance from Clare James that will keep you turning the pages no matter what day of week you choose to indulge! *

The Company by Olivia Gaines, Tiana Laveen, and Xyla Turner
About The Company by Olivia Gaines, Tiana Laveen, and Xyla Turner:
Truth is stranger than fiction at The Company. Things get especially exciting when the unknown comes wrapped in the gossamer thread of magic and mayhem. On the other side of this shimmery coin lies Love, the protective cloak that gives all we do meaning and validation. Thus, the world of the supernatural is a prelude and backdrop to romance that unfolds in all its glorious colors.
A woman uses a love potion to attract a man and repel another, yet gets more than she bargained for when the unexpected happens right where she least expects it. A man, both angel and demon, struggles with his identity while danger lurks around the corner and a new, powerful emotion takes over his being, shaking him to the core. An ambitious account executive is thrust in the midst of an old war between vampires and hunters, a kiss has her float in mid-air, and the world she’s always known shatters around her.
Trapped in the Company by Olivia Gaines
It all went wrong. Clarice’s plan was to use just a bit of the love potion to attract one man, hoping to repel another, but a twist of fate and poor timing left her trapped in the company with Elliott Marsden for the weekend. Keeping her reputation intact was the least of her concerns; she needed to be extra savvy to survive a night with Elliott

There are too many secrets and Jessica soon finds herself in the middle of an old war between vampires and hunters…too many company secrets.

Using only the resources left by your grand-uncle, it’s up to you to find Atraharsis — the legendary lost city beneath the sands.
But the way won’t be easy. Raging sandstorms, sinister traps, and a whole host of mysteries stand between you and your Ultimate goal.
Can you solve the riddles, and recover the fabled star gems in time?
Or will you — like so many who’ve gone before — become the next permanent resident of the forgotten city?
Welcome to Ultimate Ending, where YOU choose the story!
That’s right – everything that happens in this book is a result of decisions YOU make. So choose wisely!
But also be careful. Throughout this book you’ll find tricks and traps, trials and tribulations! Most you can avoid with common sense and a logical approach to problem solving. Others will require a little bit of luck. Having a coin handy, or a pair of dice, will make your adventure even more fun. So grab ’em if you got ’em!
Along the way you’ll also find clues, tips, and even items that can help you in your quest. You’ll meet people. Pick stuff up. Taking note of these things is often important, so while you’re gathering your courage, you might also want to grab yourself a pencil and a sheet of paper.
Keep in mind, there are many ways to end the story. Some conclusions are good… some not so good. Some of them are even great! But remember: there is only ONE… Ultimate Ending!

Face Of Our Father by G. Egore Pitir
About Face Of Our Father by G. Egore Pitir:
Pitir does it again! Some authors speak of genre bending, some authors prove it. After winning the 2015 Best Indie Book Award for Action/Adventure & receiving a B.R.A.G. Medallion, FACE OF OUR FATHER was just awarded the Bronze Medal for Popular Fiction by the 2016 eLit Awards. This story has it all. One part “The Bourne Identity,” one part “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” and one part “The Notebook,” FACE OF OUR FATHER leaves the reader haunted by its characters long after the novel’s final page has turned. Stuart and Angela Pierce, like many disillusioned careerists, are busy reinventing their lives. Stu reduces his airline-flying schedule to train for triathlons, while Angie escapes the daily horrors of a prosecutor’s job to pursue pro bono work. But death threats soon prove that the only thing Angie escaped was the protective arm of the District Attorney’s office. With a graphic photo of a ritual stoning Stu’s only tangible clue, he sets out to protect a wife who refuses to protect herself. Obsessed with catching a murdering rapist, Angie plunges them both into a web of global intrigue. But who, indeed what, is the real enemy? Honor. Love. Life. All are at stake as the Pierces struggle to uncover the truth, both the enemy’s, and their own. Sometimes the biggest enemy can be the one right next to you… This epic tale is too literary to be a thriller, yet too thrilling to put down—a unique blend of action and intimacy—a thriller with a soul. How often does fiction change how we define integrity, prejudice, and evil? To get at all that, a novel needs a rollercoaster of a plot coupled with an acute understanding of identity, love, and where these intersect. Test your beliefs. Read it. Just 99 cents through May 19th!

Author Bio:
G. Egore Pitir grew up near the shores of Lake Michigan, reading too much, writing too little, and ignoring arithmetic altogether. Naturally, he obtained an engineering degree, flew as a fighter pilot, and then got an airline job. Having successfully faced the math demon in college, he decided to conquer the last item on the list, writing. Six short years after acquiring a creative writing professor as a mentor, he published FACE OF OUR FATHER, a novel exploring how today’s clash of cultures reaches into our lives, our marriages, even our beds. Since publication, FACE OF OUR FATHER has enjoyed dozens of rave reviews, won the 2015 Best Indie Book Contest in the Action Adventure category, received the B.R.A.G. Medallion, and was just awarded the 2016 Bronze Medal for Popular Fiction by the eLit Awards . The sequel, FACE OF OUR MOTHER, is slated for publication in December of 2016.
