Author Bio:
Lindsey Fairleigh is a NY Times and USA Today bestselling author of Paranormal and Post-Apocalyptic Romance.
Lindsey lives her life with one foot in a book–as long as that book transports her to a magical world or bends the rules of science. Her novels, from post-apocalyptic to time travel and paranormal romance, always offer up a hearty dose of unreality, along with plenty of adventure and romance. When she’s not working on her next novel, Lindsey spends her time walking around the foothills surrounding her home, planning her future farm, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her two rather confused cats.
Loving Noah by Kenna Knight
About Loving Noah by Kenna Knight
Liam
Noah and I became best friends in kindergarten, and I’ve loved him ever since. When his parents sent
him away in our junior year of high school, they didn’t even let us say goodbye. It tore my heart to shreds.
Years later, I still drink myself to sleep on the anniversary of his departure.
Until now.
I met someone online, and although he is guarded and mysterious, he makes me feel again. He is the
first person since Noah that I can imagine a future with.
Noah
Growing up, Liam was the only bright spot in my life. If it weren’t for his friendship and protection, I
wouldn’t be here today. He couldn’t be with me all the time, though, and one afternoon during our junior
year of high school, a group of bullies decided I needed to be taught a lesson in the form of fists to my
face and hurtful words spray painted on my car.
My dad refused to accept that I was gay. Without a goodbye to my friends, he sent me to live with an aunt
I never knew. I never contacted Liam after that. It was too humiliating.
Now, after all these years, I may have found him, and we are meeting in person. But he doesn’t know me
anymore.
Will he love me when he sees what I have become?

SCABLAND by Adam Smith
When Melissa Cohen was 18 a cruel attack ruined her dream of becoming a psychiatrist. Ever since, she’s been unable to commit to any relationship or career. She’s been a soldier in the Israeli army, an Israeli federal agent, a Miami police officer and a forensic photographer. Now 38, she’s a successful paparazzi photographer.
For 20 years Melissa assumed her attackers didn’t know her identity. But one does. Dying from the mysterious Burning-Heart Virus that’s ravaging the nation, he confesses to her. He doesn’t tell the other rapists who she is, but he tells them she knows who they are now—except for one, a sadist he only knows as Spider. When Spider starts killing off anyone who can identify him, Melissa is forced into a deadly race to discover his identity before he discovers hers. All the skills Melissa learned at her former jobs fall into place as if she’d been unconsciously training for this hunt all along. But Melissa isn’t out to kill. This would-be psychiatrist has had a long time to think about rape, and she has a cure. And now she has the perfect test subject in her sights.

Spewed forth from the belly of ambition the same year Star Wars debuted in the last century, it is only natural that Markham has achieved greatness and cultivated such an entrepreneurial spirit. After conquering Chicago, he stepped up his game by returning to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, started his own theatre company (Impressions Theatre) that travels to libraries in the summer performing for the summer reading program(Often accompanied by marmosets and clown pies). He also performs in a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre at a local resort.
“Missing” is his debut novel and hopefully the first in a series. His favorite review so far is from his mother who said his book was “surprisingly wonderful”. Oh, and he’s an elementary teacher, husband and father of four.
His favorite contemporary authors are Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, and Benedict Jacka.

Double-Edged by Rowena Dawn
About Double-Edged by Rowena Dawn
She was just humoring her friend. She got adventure and a soul mate.
Double-Edged joins Kate, a small, independent shop owner on her quest for romance and happily ever after.
Against her better judgment, against her wishes, she allows her friend to push her into the world of online dating, where she encounters the most infuriating, stranger, and yet most interesting man she has ever come across.
Over several intense months of correspondence, Kate becomes embroiled in a global adventure with a man she knows either too little or too much about and discovers the truth behind the old saying, ‘What the heart wants, the heart gets.’ Or was that how it went? If not, maybe it should be changed.
Discover this sun-drenched romance, the first in the inspirational and wedding series Perfect Halves, which depicts contemporary relationships, love, adventure and conspiracies.
As a reader said: “Interesting romance. Plot develops nicely and actually held my attention unlike some recent romance out there. The story itself has something for more than just one age-group. Good for a wide audience. Female lead is amusing and plays along nicely with the rest of the cast. Fun, quite short book for some distraction.”
If you love a sizzling romance, then buy this book and dive in Kate’s adventure.
