Loving Ellie by Lindsey Brookes
About Loving Ellie by Lindsey Brookes
4.2 out of 5 stars – 166 Amazon reviews. Regularly $3.99 – FREE for a limited time from 6/30/16 to 7/3/16
Ellie Sanders is pregnant and alone. Carrying a child she’d conceived the one and only time she’d lain with her closest friend, Jarrett Tanner. A man she’d agreed to marry for the sake of their child. A man she’d loved, but not as he’d deserved. And now he was gone.
Lucas Tanner returns home to settle his younger brother Jarrett’s estate only to discover his brother left behind a very pregnant fiancée. Having lost his own wife and their baby she’d been carrying years before, he’s bound and determined to stick around and make sure Ellie’s child makes it safely into the world. Even if it means facing the ghosts of his past.
Struggling financially and emotionally, Ellie is torn between keeping her baby and giving it up for adoption. She wants to give her child the chance she never had – to be raised by two loving parents. If only she could make Lucas understand. And, if only she wasn’t falling for a man with no heart left to give.
Lucas finds himself wanting more. Wanting Ellie. But what if he gives in to his deepening feelings and loses her, too?
One fears abandonment. The other fears loss. Can Ellie and Lucas put their painful pasts behind them and finally find true happiness? Or are the emotional walls they’ve built up around their hearts too strong to tear down?

Hi Readers,
Reading is my second favorite activity after writing. I particularly enjoy mysteries. I am currently writing the sixth book in my Sheriff Lexie Wolfe mystery series. Also, I enjoy digging in the dirt in attempts to keep the weeds from attacking my flowers. I wrote “Unbreak Their Hearts” because I do not believe that much of society realizes the trauma that many women suffer in silence. I dedicated the book: “To the women who have put their broken lives back together and those who live in fear.”
Thank you for considering my book. Donna

Author Bio:
Damian hails from the hills of Monaghan, Ireland, and currently lives in Bordeaux, France, where he spends most of his time telling people that it *is* crazy that there’s an Irishman that doesn’t drink, but he still doesn’t like wine.
Growing up, he spent most of his spare time reading, which causes a wonderful dilemma with parents, where, on the one hand, you can never cram too many words into a noggin, while on the other, if you don’t put that book down and eat your dinner, young man – I don’t care if you don’t like it – I’m gonna fire that book out the window (windy, if you’re from Monaghan).
Enamoured by video games at an early age (FF7 being the kickstarter for how it was possible to tell a great story through a game), he went and studied Multimedia instead, Ireland not having a games course at the time. While his friends were faffing around Asia and Australia, generally having a great time, he worked in digital design for print and web in order to save up for a Masters in Game Programming in ‘Ull, England.
This kicked off a career making games for: PC; consoles; R&D; web; Facebook; more web; Facebook and web; Facebook, web, and mobile; before finally mobile.
An avid developer, he’ll tinker at any language that’ll let him near it, and has way too many side-projects on the go at any one time. Curiosity has cost him more than one night’s sleep.
In early 2016, he decided to make good on a dream that’d been kicking around his head since he first started writing short stories; becoming an author. His debut novel, Shepherds: Awakening, was the result of that. All things considered; not too shabby.
Light The Hidden Things by Don McQuinn
About Light The Hidden Things by Don McQuinn:
Available for a special price for a limited time only!
From award-winning author Don McQuinn comes Light The Hidden Things, a poignant and beautiful story that will resonate with anyone who has loved someone struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Carter Crow has been wandering the country for years, denying and fleeing from the terrors of PTSD. When the retired Marine rolls into the quiet mountain town of Lupine, he doesn’t expect it to be more than a temporary distraction. However, after meeting the strong and beautiful Lila Milam, his carefully controlled guard begins to drop. A tentative bond starts to kindle between them, but Crow’s troubles and Lila’s own struggles threaten to smother the flame just as quickly.
Something about Lila and the people of the peaceful town tugs at Crow, but he’s driven to run again, escaping the grief and pain that stalks him. This time, however, he’s unexpectedly confronted with a stark choice: accept the love and support being offered, or let the trauma of his past finally engulf him.
Don McQuinn explores the difficult subject of post-traumatic stress disorder with the skill of a great writer and the depth of understanding of a retired US Marine. If this book can help just one person whose life has been touched by PTSD, then he has accomplished his mission as an author.

Of That Day and Hour
‘Of that Day and Hour’; a page-turning psychological thriller.
Jefferson Davies is a lecturer at Harvard University. His life takes on an unexpected, dark and chilling twist after receiving a phone call from an ex-student and lover.
Eve works as a psychiatrist at a maximum security prison. Her patient is Casey Lee Jones. A convicted killer. His defense for the murder of two police officers is his ‘knowing’: his precognition. He knows the future, moments, hours, days, weeks or years before it happens. It was kill or be killed. He will only cooperate if Jeff’s involved, yet the men have never met.
Jeff flies out to Colorado, convinced he’s dealing with a psychopath. Scientifically he dismisses the phenomenon of precognition. Through a series of mysterious incidents, he begins to have serious doubts, even questioning his own sanity. Seeking the truth opens a Pandora’s Box, and what’s been started cannot be undone.
A fast moving, chilling, psychological thriller that will keep you guessing right to the end.
