Professor Trouble
Emily thinks her new class with a visiting professor is going to be pretty dull: Latin Literature taught by some old British fuddy-duddy. Except Will Spencer isn’t what she expected: he isn’t old, and he isn’t a fuddy-duddy…
Will Spencer, exiled from a prestigious British college, is supposed to be keeping his head down, teaching bored college students in the UK for a semester, and above all, staying out of trouble. But Emily Masterson, sitting in the front row of his class, is the kind of trouble he didn’t see coming…
‘Professor Trouble’ is Soraya May’s debut contemporary romance. It features a hot (and slightly snarky) British professor, a funny, feisty heroine, a fair dose of steam, some cursing (mostly in Latin!) and an HEA! Launch Price: $0.99 for a limited time!

Blood Republic
Blood Republic is a political-thriller for a divided modern America. Corrupt politicians, biased media, NSA surveillance, and viral hate; Blood Republic examines extremism through a heart-pumping thriller with the fate of the country at stake. Will America survive its next election, or collapse into a 2nd civil war of conservative versus liberal?
During the closing hours of the tightest presidential election in US history, firebrand Annie Daniels is a Democratic-socialist senator determined to win the White House. She dreams of eradicating injustice, and hopefully, saving her dying daughter’s life. Major Amos Daniels, her conservative Green Beret brother, might have something to say about that though, if her plans go against his faith. As an Electoral College tie nears, the country erupts into rioting, and Annie and Amos are thrust to opposite ends of a constitutional crisis with guns drawn. Will the Daniels family find common ground above ideology to prevent a second civil war? Or, will an unknown enemy-of-the-state escape justice while pushing the nation into chaos?
Blood Republic is an intelligent thriller described as combining the philosophical depth of a Any Rand or George Orwell novel with the excitement of such story-tellers as Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, and Vince Flynn. Politically independent in tone, Blood Republic will make you question your own political and philosophical allegiances while keeping you on the edge of your seat guessing as to who the true villain is in a divided modern America. Can peace and reason overcome hate, or has the country already been pushed too far?
**Please be aware novel contains adult themes, language, and violence.**

An Autumn Affection
All her life, Bethany has had a dream – to become a famous singer-songwriter. And now that she’s attending her brother’s wedding on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini, it seems that there might just be a chance for that to come true. An old flame, Dylan, is also attending the wedding – an old flame who apparently now holds an important role at a big music label. Surely it won’t be too hard to get him to listen to her perform one or two of her songs?
But nothing in Bethany’s life is ever straightforward, as it seems she has a magnetic attraction for trouble. From her lost luggage to her overbearing mother, from her car problems to Dylan’s resentful girlfriend, Bethany seems to spend her life trying to deal with dilemmas.
And worst of all is local restaurant owner Andreas, who clearly sees her as a blonde airhead, and never misses an opportunity to disapprove of her latest calamity. Bethany finds him unbearably arrogant and horribly judgemental. And okay, he’s also ridiculously handsome. But she knows one thing for certain. She could never be remotely interested in him…
