***COMPLETE STANDALONE WITH HEA***
Notorious celebrity playboy A.J. Morgan has more emotional baggage than notches on his well-used bedpost, but bleached blonde, silicone-enhanced three-ways and excess of whiskey are all the therapy he needs.
Live to indulge, indulge to fill the voids.
Those are his rules…. until he meets cunning financial analyst-slash-sexy club singer Lisa Embry, a woman whose heart is surrounded by more barbed wire than a high-security prison.
Rules? What rules?
One lust-filled romp with his female alter-ego turns A.J. into an addict in need of his next fix and he’ll pay any price for another hit.
But he soon finds out Lisa has her own rules… ones that can never be broken.

Author Bio:
Long before 9/11, Miles used to lie in bed at night in his apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side — just across the park from where Cynthia, Steve and Melissa would be living — and listen to the sirens. Wondering when someone would drop “The Big One” on The City.
. . . Wondering how the millions of survivors — if there would be any — could possibly escape . . . the city government itself encouraging twenty-four hour personal survival kits — food, medicines, other critical essential personal items. See: Preparing for emergencies in New York City.
As time went on, whenever Miles would leave The City for a day or so for one reason or another, he would return with a creeping, growing, building sense of dread. Driving toward that beautiful skyline on I-95 or the 1 & 9, he would look at the skyscrapers and think, “Is this the day?”
He stuck with The City. It was his home. But to excise the paranoia, he spent his spare time writing the beginnings of this story: Loss Of Reason . . .
Until one night some homeless person stabbed a ballerina to death only a block away from his apartment on the street behind. It was a small, solitary death in the scope of the thousands who die in The City every year, but he took it as a sign. He never knew her, but the attack felt close and personal. He knew it was time to get out.
So he moved west. Out to the Rockies, to the desert, where he no longer felt trapped by the masses. Where he could see the horizon on any given day simply by walking outside. Where the sky was open and the air was clear. It took six months to recover as the paranoia slowly left him.
Was it truly paranoia? He watched TV that terrible day, like all Americans, with a horror that would have been sheer terror had he stayed, as the Twin Towers rumbled down. Not as a pinnacle of terrorism in The City, but as the beginning of things much worse to come.
Miles favorite eight authors are:
8 – Stuart Woods (Mr. Smooth, Positive & Wealthy)
7 – C. J. Box (rapidly becoming world-class)
6/5 – Stephen King (fear) & James Patterson (fast & max person v. him / herself conflict)
4 – Jeffrey Archer (arc of the great story, each with that modern-day O’Henry twist)
3 – Lee Child (knock ’em out justice, the intelligent big guy, urgency through tight description)
2 – Robert Crais (humor and intensity)
1 – J. K. Rowling (possibly the world’s best modern writer)
…though Miles has been known to read Danielle Steel when in the mood to feel suicidally sad, or to laugh his way through a Janet Evanovich. And yes, Miles has read all three original Fifty books (but not Grey). Twice.
Miles A. Maxwell — out of Cheyenne, Wyoming — is the author of Loss Of Reason, Search For Reason, the forthcoming Finding Reason of the State Of Reason series and the Mystery-Thriller Die By The Pen. An IFR certified private pilot, Miles speaks bits and pieces of ten languages, surfs, skis, sails and scuba dives.

Rob Lopez is a British author who hasn’t died yet. A perpetual daydreamer, he’s been a factory mechanic, a teaching assistant and a cleaner, plus a whole bunch of other jobs too dull to mention. He always wanted to write a novel, and now he’s written several, including the fast paced and hard hitting Alien Infiltrators series. He writes mostly dystopian science fiction and post-apocalyptic horror, with an emphasis on dark humour, action, love and death. He’s not nearly as miserable as that makes him sound, and he’s quite partial to relaxing by the sea and watching seagulls soar while he dreams up his next story.

Cloaks by F. A. Fisher
“A TREASURE!” —Hugo-winner Mary Robinette Kowal
Some doors are better left unopened….
All Bess Nyland wanted to find was a different way out of Mr. Heldrick’s basement. She didn’t expect the door she opened to lead into another world. She didn’t realize that, within minutes, she’d be running for her life from cloaked, knife-wielding riders. And she never dreamed that, in her struggle to return home, she would receive the most help from a dark and sinister character out of legend.
If she had, she would have taken the stairs….
“Heldrick sharpened his knife with slow, deliberate strokes, and wondered if he would find use for it again. The clock on the wall ticked away the minutes.
“One more trip, he decided. Soon.”
Discounted to $0.99 September 2-4, and $1.99 September 5-7.

Born and raised in Sydney, Australia. I am in my thirties and happily married with three gorgeous boys.
My first love has always been reading, so the writing side is very natural to me. Favourite books include anything by Abbi Glines, but Fallen too Far is a favourite, Pulse & Collide by Gail McHugh and The Driven trilogy by K Bromberg.
Hobbies of mine are playing netball; shopping and I love listening to music. I add it into my writing frequently.
I have released five books, and look forward to introducing my readers to new characters.
I am totally enjoying this rollercoaster of being an Indie author and hoping others enjoy my writing as much as I love writing it
