No Honor Between Brothers by Deborah Tadema
About No Honor Between Brothers by Deborah Tadema
Everyone has at least one weakness. Mitch Wilder’s is women. He has always been fussed over, coddled and protected by them. As a teenager he was the star football quarterback, always surrounded by girls, as he used his good looks and popularity to his advantage. By thirty-nine years of age, he hasn’t slowed down. Mitch still sneaks from bedroom to bedroom.
When his father dies in 1967 Mitch’s world starts to fray at the seams. His father’s will states that Mitch has inherited the shipping company, which Mitch has been running for eight years, ever since his father retired. But up until then the company had remained in his father’s name. While the inheritance isn’t a surprise, the stipulation that Mitch must hire his stepbrother, Tom Fleming, is. On top of this, Tom will own half the company within five years. If this doesn’t happen the company will be sold and the proceeds will go to charity. Mitch sees no choice but to hire his brother.

What Haunts Me (Ghost Killer – Book 1) by Margaret Millmore
About What Haunts Me (Ghost Killer – Book 1) by Margaret Millmore
The ghosts that wander among the living do not haunt in the traditional sense; instead, they plague the innocent with disease, deformity and addiction. And once a ghost finds its victim, it will haunt them for a lifetime… or kill them quickly.
After George gets ill, the dreams begin. Suppressed memories are triggered, allowing him to see ghosts, and a deeply buried instinct emerges. George finds out he can kill these monsters, and heal their victims. The ability to save lives is something George cannot ignore, but it soon becomes an obsession and begins to eat away at his sanity.
His quest for understanding leads him to new friends and allies, and exposes him to enemies he could have never imagined. In the end, can you really ever kill something that’s already dead?

Free To Trade by Michael Ridpath
About Free To Trade by Michael Ridpath:
“I had lost half a million dollars in slightly less that half an hour and the coffee machine didn’t work. This was turning into a bad day. Half a million dollars is a lot of money. And I needed a cup of coffee badly.”
It was a deal to die for. And somebody will.
Paul Murray is an ex-Olympic runner, so his training is perfect for the rigours of multi-million dollar bond trading in the City of London. The pace is breakneck, the smell of success intoxicating.
Then the body of his colleague Debbie is fished out of the Thames and Paul’s world is turned upside down.
He begins a dangerous, chaotic tumble into the darker side of trading. From the glass towers of London to the frenzied deals of Wall Street and the murky back rooms of Las Vegas glitz, Paul has got to find answers fast before someone else makes a killing.
Free To Trade was Michael Ridpath’s first financial thriller. It was translated into 33 languages and stayed at No 2 in the British bestseller lists for three months.
“Bonfire of the Vanities with attitude” according to the London Times.
“It is the author’s insight into the complexities of the business world that gives his novel so much life. And he can write… Yes, he has a winner here.” – The New York Times.
The Sunday Times says Michael Ridpath “has cornered the market in intelligent, fast-moving financial thrillers”.
Free To Trade will be available at a price of 99c from Jan 24-29 2017.

Emerge: The Awakening
Allie Carmichael has always believed life is simple.
You’re born. You live. You die.
She has no cause to believe those rules don’t apply to her.
All her life, Allie has suffered in silence as those around her shrink from her touch, too intimidated to take the time to get to know her. It’s left her feeling like an outcast for fifteen years.
When an unexpected move to Kelleys Island brings Aidan McBrien crashing into her life, Allie is thrown by his reaction. He isn’t affected by her touch. He doesn’t stutter or make a quick exit. He smiles and welcomes her into his circle of friends.
For the first time ever, Allie knows what true friendship means. Finally, she has a real shot at normal—until “normal” crashes and burns when she wakes in agony on her sixteenth birthday. Aidan calls it her Awakening, a rite of passage he and their friends have all faced. Allie struggles in ignorance through the experience, uncertain of what is real and what isn’t. When she emerges, she is different. She has always been different, but even among her extraordinary friends, she and Aidan are special.
As Allie struggles to maintain her tenuous grasp on the power that threatens to overwhelm her, she worries she will lose herself in this strange new world of ancient Immortal beings.
A dangerous world where she will have to fight tooth and nail to defend the power and freedom that is her birthright.

Melissa A. Craven was born near Atlanta, Georgia, but moved to Cleveland, Ohio at the age of seventeen. She still thinks of Cleveland as home, so it was only natural for Emerge to take place there.
Today, she is back in Atlanta—for some reason she can’t seem to stay away from the ungodly heat that makes her long for things like “lake effect snow” and wind that will knock you flat.
Melissa decided a long time ago that the “life checklist” everyone else was clutching so tightly in their fists, just wasn’t for her. She does everything backwards because she’s weird like that.
She is an avid student of art and design, and received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from the University of West Georgia in 2009. She worked as an interior designer for several years, but has always thought she might like to be a writer when she grows up.
In her spare time, if she has any, she enjoys shopping for derelict furniture she refinishes to exercise the interior design part of her brain.
Grace
Surprise is the understatement of the year and it hits Sam and Jason like a freight train. Rocked and shocked, Sam needs to determine if this is a really good surprise, because as much as she loves Jason, any future they may have together could be doomed if he’s not 100 percent all-in. She can’t afford to settle for anything less since there’s so much at stake now. Jason Sinclair will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves and keep her safe and shielded when ghosts of her brutal past rear their ugly head. Truth is the biggest challenge these two face when confronted with the future, a truth in which Jason made his position crystal clear on. Will he test this hard limit to the point of destroying what is between them? Or will he save them both?

Dee Palmer hates talking about herself in the third person so I won’t. My husband had my iPod engraved one Christmas with ‘sing like no-one’s listening’ and I know my family actually wish they weren’t listening because I am, in fact, tone deaf but it doesn’t stop me and this gentle support has enabled me to fulfil a dream.
In my first year The Choices Trilogy was nominated for Best Erotic Series and came 2nd in the Metamorphosis Annual Summer Award, Disgrace came 3rd, I also picked up a nomination for Best Breakthrough author in the Erotic Writers Guild Awards and this year Disgrace is nominated in the Goodreads Awards but I’m not holding my breath on that one…Sylvia Day is in my category lol.
Dark Hearts
I’ve learned that not everything is what it seems. If you start to look too close, you uncover things people don’t want you to see. It’s why I hide. It’s why no one knows the real me. But he sees me. He sees the darkness in my heart but he’s not afraid, because he’s like me. They say opposites attract, but we’re proof that like-and-like are a far more potent combination.
Novalee Clarke is hiding from a past she wants to leave behind, and Jacen Kensington is running from his.
The thing about hiding and running is eventually the thing you’re trying to escape catches up to you.
And when it does?
It changes everything.

A Venture of the Heart (Silver Bay Book 1) by Amelia Judd
About A Venture of the Heart (Silver Bay Book 1) by Amelia Judd:
LOVE IS A RISKY VENTURE IN AMELIA JUDD’S AWARD-WINNING NEW ROMANCE
“Hello, Pax. It’s good to see you again.”
And with those frigid words, karma kicked his ass and blew his dreams into a million tiny fragments.
Paxton Bennett walked away from a privileged upbringing to devote his life to La Vida de Ensueño, the socially responsible luxury resort he manages in Costa Rica. No way will Pax let a hotel chain swallow up La Vida and turn it into another lifeless clone. All he needs is a loan so he can match a buy-out offer. Unfortunately, every damn bank keeps saying no. He has one last hope–an on-site visit from a loan officer that he’s sure he can impress…
Banker Sage Somerset doesn’t want to see Pax Bennett across a busy coffee shop, let alone spend a week at a tropical resort with him. After their cringe-worthy last encounter, just hearing his name makes her blush or curse. Plus, there are snakes in Costa Rica. A lot of snakes! Determined to remain professional on her unwelcome assignment, Sage hopes she can survive a week in Pax’s world…
But a quirky staff, meddlesome family, and the night-time visit of a tiny green gecko soon threaten to turn business into pleasure. Will Pax and Sage fight their troublesome chemistry? Or will they take a chance on the biggest venture of all–each other?

Author Bio:
I live in Southern California with my adorable hubby and 2 sons. I am a Document Specialist with a mortgage company during the day and a writer during the night!
I have a MFA in Creative Writing and enjoy games, reading and, of course, writing. I grow tall bearded irises and avidly listen to trailer music by groups like Audiomachine, Two Steps from Hell, and Future World Music. I currently have a flash fiction story published online at The Prompt Magazine.
My favorite genre to write and read is YA Fantasy closely followed by YA Paranormal and I would love to dabble in Steam Punk and Dystopian.
I have been writing for myself since I was 13 and using my mother’s dinosaur of a typewriter (it was from the fifties I think!) and my father’s special resume paper (without his knowledge). Those stories are long gone, but my brain never sleeps without coming up with new ideas. I am also a notoriously SLOW writer because I stress out and OCD over every word, freak out, then redo it. Rinse and repeat and you have why it takes me a year to do a draft.

First, Rama must survive four billion miles in a colossal starship, the UNOPS Victory, training with the deadliest space marines, soldiers, fighters and killers the world has ever known. Each of them means to be the savior of the world.

If you enjoyed Ender’s Game, Starship Troopers and Old Man’s War, you’ll love Orb Station Zero, the first in a new military science fiction series, Galactic Arena.

As she travels through a land she has previously only read about in books, she is aided in her quest by a talking tree, a majestic stag, and a grizzled wolf.
Ember’s Tower is a gorgeously illustrated and imaginative world that is suitable for children ages 6-10.

Author Bio:
Jared Twitchell and his lovely wife currently reside in a land governed by two inquisitive, and loveable offspring that have devoted their lives to making him answer “how, why, and when” questions more times than there are Seinfield reruns.
When he’s not answering the questions “how do you make the perfect chocolate chip cookie”, “why add more chocolate chips”, and “when can we eat them”, he can be found eating the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
His hobbies consist of anything that’s miles away from a cubicle; mountain biking, backpacking, and especially running. Reading is the one activity that can keep him locked inside, however.
Works include:
Ember’s Tower (book 1 of Ember’s Story)
Arty McSmarty: All the Things You’ll Do
Arty McSmarty: Christmas with Auntie Snodgrass and Her Terrible Minions (he vows to never create a title this long again)
Jared believes in the magic of wonder and being grateful for the small things.
The Digital Banking Revolution
About The Digital Banking Revolution:
Over the past decade financial service innovations have contributed to a completely new way in which customers can bank, threatening the status quo of traditional retail banks, and redefining a banking model which has been in place for generations. These new technological advancements have facilitated the rapid emergence of digital banking firms and FinTech companies, leading to established banks being forced to swiftly increase their pace of digital adoption to stay relevant and stop mass client attrition to these agile financial start-ups. These threats come at an inopportune time for banks due to mature markets currently experiencing stagnant growth. This coupled with decreasing profit margins due to the competitive pricing of new entrants, and financial customer loyalty becoming ever increasingly more tenuous.
