Referred to as the Fulda Gap, this corridor was very likely the path the Warsaw forces and the Soviet Union would have taken to invade Europe.

About The Billionaires Baby by Mia Carson:

Over-educated and underpaid, Lexi would give anything to get a decent job, except have a baby for her playboy billionaire boss.

Lexi’s life was normal until she bumped into Braden, an unrepentant playboy from her past. He’s unchanged and wants more from her than she’s willing to give. She’s desperate for a job, but not desperate enough to like Braden, her new boss. But she’s unprepared for the power he has over her body, and she’ll do anything to get as far away from him as possible. Except she didn’t plan for a baby …

Braden regrets the way he treated Lexi in the past and wants to make up for it by giving her the job she so desperately needs. But he’s not totally selfless about his offer for her to be his personal assistant; he desires her more than he’s willing to admit and will do whatever it takes to keep her close to him and in his bed, even though she’s from a totally different world than him.

This is a full-length novel with no cliffhangers and a Happily Ever After ending!

About A GIFT FFROM THE ENEMY:

BOOKS Child of wartime Europe writes rich, cinematic memoir

A GIFT FROM THE ENEMY
By Enrico Lamet
The author of this endearing memoir is an 81-year-old retiree living in Florida. How he got there is an amazing tale. Born in Vienna as Erich Lifshütz, an upper middle class Jew with Polish roots, he left Austria with his parents in 1938, at the age of 8. As Jews, they were not permitted to take much money out of the country as they shuffled across France and came to settle in Italy, as the Nazis marched across borders. You would expect such an account to be filled with the horrors of war. But it is not.
Lamet is a natural storyteller. When he identifies himself as un confinato, he is referring to the system of enforced exile, or confinement of untrustworthy elements, which was put in place by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini after allying with Hitler. The author’s father made the fateful choice of returning to Poland to see family, leaving his wife and son on their own for the duration of the war. The author and his mother, whom he calls “Mutti,” are affectionate, yet she is as willful and worry-prone as he is active and adventure-prone.
They know as much freedom as one can, living al confino, in the backward, bug-infested mountain village of Ospedaletto, outside Naples. The others in their cohort of undesirables — which include a former Oxford professor, Eastern Europeans, and Italians — must check in with the police on a regular basis. But the local enforcers, it turns out, have no interest in strictly monitoring them or in bowing to Mussolini. Here are your orders, the man in charge recites, and then in an aside: “I am embarrassed to have to read this to you.”
What makes this book so animated are the cast of characters as they survive in the mind of Erich (Enrico, in his Italian incarnation). A shoemaker, young priests, teachers, neighbors — they are his extended family in times of trial and confusion, as the outsiders adapt to a colorless townscape of steep, dusty, narrow streets, a place without running water. Money is scarce, food not always plentiful, and when winter blows in, young Enrico “combed the woods for the scraps left behind by some careless woodsman” to keep the fire going. He lives by his wits.
“Mutti” falls in love with a Sicilian, Pietro, who becomes the boy’s stepfather. Seeing the three-way relationship develop through Enrico’s eyes is deeply real and touching. What might have turned out bad becomes a lesson in how human beings sometimes find happiness despite overwhelming odds. Separations are sutured back together through the poetry Pietro conveys. To the multilingual Enrico he once quoted at length from Dante’s Inferno, in Latin. The boy was struck that he could retain so much literature in his head. “All beautiful things are worth remembering,” Pietro explains. A certain radiance comes from Pietro that makes his generosity all the more enduring.
During their two and a half years in Ospedaletto, this patchwork family could only assume that Enrico’s father was dead. But before any news from Poland arrives, the war closes in on them. German troops ominously enter the town, and when one of the soldiers tries to communicate with the locals, Enrico, disobeying his mother’s warnings, blurts out something in German. Overcoming moments of palpitation, he and Gerhard became fast friends. It seems that Enrico (now “Erich” again) reminds the soldier of his 11-year-old back in Germany. Away from his men, he whispers to the lad: “I know you are Jewish, but you have nothing to fear.”
Not very long after this episode, the Americans liberate the town, and the confinati are finally allowed to leave. The author rides to Naples in an American jeep. Resettled there, he receives a high school and college education. Word from Poland arrives, past and present merge for the teenager on a train platform, and the fears he had contended with through a wandering childhood gradually melt away.
In 1950, he reaches America, where this tale of running, hiding, and surviving ends with a thoroughly uplifting epilogue.
Over the course of his narrative, the most gruesome sight Enrico faces is not a casualty of war but the embalmed corpse of a shriveled priest who died in the early 19th century and rested inside a glass case in the monastery five miles outside of Ospedaletto. Rich and cinematic in scope, A Gift From the Enemy is a captivating story of awakening knowledge and a child’s resilience.

About Bound & SEAL’D: A Bad Boy Navy SEAL Romance:

Ripped SEAL. Filthy mouth. Big… gun. What else does a woman need?

Colt

I’ve been shot at by armed Militias. I’ve taken over fallen cities. I’ve protected the country I love and I’ve lost more friends than I can count. In a nutshell: I’ve seen it all. So you think some journalist can use me for my war stories?

Hell no.

But when she bends over at the bar, I can’t help but stare at that lush, hour glass frame. One taste is all I need and I’ll do anything for it.

If it’s a story she wants, a story is what she’ll get. After all, she said she’d do anything for this.

Lena

I’m not an idiot. Men like Colt Sterling are bad news, even if he is a Navy SEAL war hero. Tall, brooding, and waiting for the world to burn, this guy is bad. His ripped body and cocky attitude tell me to stay away. But as a journalist, I need my story.

One story for one night. That’s the deal.

But now he’s not letting go. And I’m begging for more.

About Missing Amanda:

If you like Westlake or Hallinan – You’ll love Missing Amanda

Revenge is a dish best served quickly

Chicago in 1958 is a very dangerous place. When private eye Lou Fleener and his friend Dion Monkton are tricked into helping a Chicago mob boss in his takeover of Mayor Daley’s office, it makes the other mobs angry enough to kill.

Through guns and bombs and the unsteady affections of Cassidy Adams, a blonde with a heart for pure gold, the scary attentions of a hit man who prefers a scalpel to a .38 and a baseball fan who’ll kill them if the Cubs lose, Lou and Monk devise an amazing plan of vengeance against the mobs. All of them. At the same time.
If it works, they’ll be rich. And who knows – maybe even alive.

About Veggies Not Included by Christine Leo:

Christine Leo lost 130 pounds following a wakeup call that included a gyno trip from hell, a bridal boutique snub and a Jumbotron screen. The girl who had been picked on and pushed around since primary school decided it was finally time to take back control of her life.

Author Bio:
New York Times and USA Today bestselling Kentucky author living in Lexington, Kentucky. I have always had a penchant for things a little outside the norm. I saw my first “ghost” when I was five years old, and I’ve spent a lifetime trying to understand that vision. Was it real? And if it was, why? I became a paranormal investigator and love old houses that go bump in the night. I can often be found in old cemeteries just hanging out.
I’ve studied metaphysics, including the areas of touch healing, dream analysis, meditation and hypnosis. The power of the mind has always fascinated me. When reading I love books that allow me to travel around the world without ever leaving home. As an author my greatest desire is to create characters that readers can love and hate, laugh and cry with, and stories that allow the reader to spend a few hours in sheer entertainment.
The Jacody Ives series was my first attempt to combine my love of true mystery and the paranormal. The Catherine Mans’ series continues and expands that combination, delving into the darker side of the power of the mind.
I finished my first romantic suspense in 2015, and having been a member of the judicial system for the past 19 years, wrote my first two legal thrillers in 2016. Currently working on a joint project with a fellow NYT best selling author, M. A. Comley, and hope to release our debut novel in a new crime series in September of 2016.

About Snowfall on Mars by Branden Frankel:

Twenty years ago, life on Earth was annihilated. Now, the few remaining colonists on Mars scratch out their living in the worn husk of New Houston, a once vibrant settlement. Outside its walls, a perpetual storm rages — acidic snow and rain – the result of a failed attempt to terraform the planet decades earlier. The human race, once numbering in the billions, has dwindled to five hundred or so souls.

David Adler has survived in these circumstances by keeping a low profile and minding his own business. But when he gets a knock on the door from his old flame, Oksana Levi, everything changes.

Mars’ lead engineer and Oksana’s current boyfriend, Carl Epstein, has been brutally murdered in his workshop, and Oksana pleads for Adler’s help. Adler soon finds himself pulling at the threads of a conspiracy by a millenarian cult and its bloodthirsty father figure to do away with life on the red planet once and for all.

Snowfall on Mars, regularly priced $5.99, is on sale now for $.99.

About jesus His Stories Revealed By Angelo His Guardian Angel:

This is the continuing story of Jesus’s life, told by His most intimate friend, Angelo, His guardian angel. It starts where Jesus The Early Years leaves off and reviews what it may have been like to have known Jesus as the young man who lives next door.
One of the best things about writing historical fiction is the freedom a writer usually has, to create a story based on real events and present the possibilities of what might have been. Because, as Scott Korb says in his book, Life in Year One, “No one really knows for sure what life back then was like,” using available research sources that often contradict each other, to create an accurate first-century world, is difficult.
This makes writing a book about Jesus all the more challenging, because for many of us, our beliefs in Him make us reluctant to consider possibilities we are not familiar with. So research for books like this must center on the Bible and suppositions on accurate historical documents of the times.
I hope you will forgive whatever errors you may find, but I can assure you, you will not find the Jesus of legendary fantasy that chases dragons out of caves.
Angelo tells the story of the Jesus we’ve never met. He tells us how His family and neighbors knew Jesus as He grew into the popular young man who lives next door. He laughs and cries. He jokes, and gets into trouble with His teachers. We meet His friends and enemies. He grows up just like you and me. But He’s a human with a twist…He’s God’s only Son. I invite you to consider the possibilities of what it may have been like to know Jesus, the boy who becomes a man and lives next door.
