Double Trouble in Iowa (Izzy Lewis Mysteries Book 2) by Wendy Byrne
About Double Trouble in Iowa (Izzy Lewis Mysteries Book 2) by Wendy Byrne
Amateur sleuth and artist Izzy Lewis’ life is getting more complicated by the moment. First, she has to deal with an ex husband she thought she’d left in the rearview mirror. Then, she happens to discover a dead body while unpacking for a local quilt show. Now, the suspect in the murder is asking for her help in proving his innocence. Talk about a troublesome trifecta!
Despite the fact the accused is an ex-con, Izzy believes in his innocence and suspects the local detective is railroading the guy for personal reasons. With the help of the Qs—her Jessica Fletcher–wannabe band of seniors—Izzy sets out to uncover the truth. But with her budding relationship with her hot new neighbor on thin ice and a hyper-vigilant detective watching her every move, Izzy finds herself treading a thin line between sleuth and suspect. Can she catch a small-town murderer…or will Izzy be the victim of double trouble in Iowa?

Author Bio:
Lea McKee was born and raised in a small town north of Toronto where she spent the majority of her time reading books, jumping off train bridges, and sliding down snow-covered hills in garbage bags.
After working for three bookstores in her teen years, she began to write books of her own. Just after her eighteenth birthday, she left that small town and set off to see the world, armed with a few notebooks, and her favorite pen.
She currently lives abroad, perpetually in-transit, with her fiancée, who should’ve been born in 9th century Scandinavia, and their four-year-old daughter, who’s caught their wanderlust already.
The Truth of Things
“Where I come from, cops aren’t superheroes.”
Photojournalist and wedding photographer, Ava Marie Greene, doesn’t ever want to fall in love and not in the I-just-haven’t-met-right-man kinda way either. Ava is a hopeless romantic, but too much hurt and disappointment keep her hiding behind the camera. Through her lens, she sees the truth of things, the difference between real and fantasy, and she thinks she has a good handle on it until she has a run-in with her friendly neighborhood policeman, Levi Raymond.
“Not all cops…”
A tad arrogant, and a bit of a cornball, Ava knows that this Levi could make her second-guess every thought she ever had about cops. She tries to make it clear to Officer Friendly that she doesn’t need saving, but he when Ava finds herself on the wrong side of the law, will he be the hero she needs or toe the “thin blue line?”

Author Bio:
My career as a serial entrepreneur began over 35 years ago. My Frappuccino addiction is much more recent.
As an entrepreneur, I’ve played a variety of roles from CEO and CTO to Angel Investor and startup coach. I’ve been a central figure in several successful startups and multimillion-dollar acquisitions, and I’ve made a lot of mistakes. You’ll find it all, the good, the bad and the ugly in my book. It’s a guidebook, not a map. There’s no one path to success, but there are bridges every business must cross, and challenges every business will face.
On a personal note, long ago I followed some sage advice that I love to share – marry your best friend (over 30 years now), live in a beautiful place (recently joined by two English-Cream golden retrievers), and be proud of your work. I hope you like The Startup Survivor. I’m proud of the life it represents.

A Counterfeit Heart
A feisty counterfeiter and a cocky British agent clash in this sultry Secrets and Spies novel by K. C. Bateman, whose witty, intelligent, and sexy historical romances have become her signature.
As Sabine de la Tour tosses piles of forged banknotes onto a bonfire in a Paris park, she bids a reluctant farewell to her double life as a notorious criminal. Over the course of Napoleon’s reign, her counterfeits destabilized the continent and turned scoundrels into rich men, but now she and her business partner must escape France—or face the guillotine. Her only hope of surviving in England is to strike a deal with the very spy she’s spent her career outrunning. Now after meeting the arrogant operative in the flesh, Sabine longs to throw herself upon his mercy—and into his arms.
Richard Hampden, Viscount Lovell, is prepared to take any risk to safeguard England from the horrors of the French Revolution. To lure the insurgents out from the shadows, he’s even willing to make a pact with his archenemy: Philippe Lacorte, the greatest counterfeiter in Europe. But when a cheeky, gamine-faced beauty proves herself to be Lacorte, Richard is shocked—and more than a little aroused. Unlike the debutantes who so often hurl themselves at him, this cunning minx offers a unique and irresistible challenge. Richard will help her. But in return, he wants something that even Sabine cannot fake.
NB: A Counterfeit Heart will be DISCOUNTED at 99c across all vendors from Tues 5th September 20017 to Tues 12th September 2017.

Author Bio:
Kate Bateman (writing as K. C. Bateman) wrote her first historical romance in response to a $1 bet with her husband who rashly claimed she’d ‘never finish the thing.’ She gleefully proved him wrong with a historical set in the Italian Renaissance. Her latest ‘Secrets & Spies’ Regency-era series features her trademark feisty, intelligent heroines, wickedly inappropriate banter, and heroes you want to alternately strangle and kiss—all mixed up in the intrigue and turmoil of the Napoleonic wars.
When not traveling to exotic locations ‘for research’, Kate leads a double life as a fine art appraiser and on-screen antiques expert for several TV shows in the UK, each of which has up to 2.5 million viewers. She splits her time between Illinois and her native England and writes despite three inexhaustible children and a husband who has flatly refused to read any of her books ‘unless she hits the NY Times Bestseller list.’ It is—naturally—her fervent desire to force the semi-illiterate, number-loving cynic to do so. He still owes her that dollar.
Forgiveness: A Guide For People In Recovery
About Forgiveness: A Guide For People In Recovery
Written for people new to recovery, this workbook helps the reader develop a realistic outlook on forgiveness. Basic, and sometimes difficult, truths discussed in Forgiveness include:
• The people we hope will forgive us don’t have to. They get to set their own criteria for forgiveness.
• Seeing the other person’s point of view isn’t always easy. We may not understand their experiences and expectations.
• Our point of view may not be easy for them to see. They may not understand our experiences and expectations
• We do well to practice the AA slogan “clean your side of the street.”
• Forgiveness is a wonderful gift, but one we may have to give judiciously. We may not want to forgive someone who shows no remorse and continues to do things that hurt us.
• Part of recovery is learning to forgive ourselves, once we’ve put up ‘roadblocks’ to repeating past behavior.

Author Bio:
I have been in business for more than nine years, and during this period, I have attended several courses offered by successful speakers in the business world. Additionally, I have read many books about business and money, far from interacting with real businessmen. Despite doing all these, I have realized that books only offer general instructional guidelines as well as high level tutorials that are quite difficult to apply in real life situations.
All those ideas and advice offered by the books are not specific to any one person but can be applied by anyone. I normally have a lot of thoughts in my mind and I often ask myself how success can be achieved in terms of money or whether there is a common point in making money. In the last one year, I have learnt from a variety of sources such as books, the internet and lectures.
It is important to know that successful people have been proven to be good at face to face communication. I have put everything that I have learnt during my time in business into this book. This book will offer you the secrets of the financially successful and rich people whose success is proven. Furthermore, this book will also inform you of the traits of successful people and if you apply the tips you will find here, you will be on your way to success.
I strongly believe that this book will assist you in changing your financial destiny. It will be my pleasure to share the secrets of the rich so as to help you have a better life. I will not offer you tips that apply to anyone on specific, but rather something that you can apply regardless of your location. Just in case you are a parent, you can also use this book to guide and teach your child ways of achieving success.
Her Arcadian Lovers
When a good girl decides to stop living up to everyone’s expectations but her own, fate opens a door to a life she never thought possible. Two men have spent lifetimes looking for one woman to share their life. Now that they’ve found her, they’ll have to convince her that some risks are worth the reward.
Andrea had allowed herself to be convinced that she should keep her perverse fantasies to herself and just have a normal, “grown-up ” relationship, but when her boyfriend proposes, she realizes that her heart just isn’t in it. She decides to hide away in a bar for the evening in order to lick her wounds while she tries to figure out what to do next,when she meets two men who turn out to be her wildest fantasy come true.
Sam and Jason have shared three centuries between them, and almost that many women. They’re fully committed to each other, but dream of a woman who’s willing to take them both on for the rest of eternity, and they’re pretty sure they’ve found her in this mischievous little red-haired vixen. If only there was an easy way to tell a girl that her two new boyfriends were werewolves that wouldn’t send her off screaming into the night!
Author’s note: ” Her Arcadian Lovers ” is the first book in a series of adventures about a girl and her two lycanthropic loves, descendants of the original line of werewolves who call themselves the Arcadians. Along the way, there’s plenty of steamy, erotic M/M, M/M/F, and M/F scenes in between all the gods and monsters that stumble into their path. There’s a little angst here and there, but a guaranteed HEA.
