About Befriended by Ruth O’Neill

Gemma Peacock, recently bereaved, prepares to attend the funeral of her late husband, Ritchie, with her only close friend, Maria. Gemma is in her late thirties, slim, attractive and devastated. She leaves the house with Maria; feeling like her entire world has fallen apart. At the church, Gemma sees a woman she does not recognise, hiding behind a column, keeping herself separate from the rest of the mourners. She is mysterious and extremely beautiful. After the service, she tries to spot the woman, but she has vanished.
At the church, the beautiful woman waits a little way apart from the mourners. When the service is over, the woman introduces herself to Gemma as a friend of Ritchie’s.
Before the day of the funeral the young, successful, devious Indiana Manors is reading Ritchie Peacock’s obituary in the newspaper. She intends to attend the funeral and befriend Gemma; it is obvious her intentions are not honourable. She has a dark history and mental health issues, including an imaginary friend, Vonny, who tells her what to do.
Her life is far from perfect – but she knows just what she has to do to fix it. Befriend Gemma Peacock, and destroy her.

About Summary of Essentialism

Greg McKeown cuts through the jargon of productivity literature to remind his readers the one thing they are losing sight of in the face of increasing opportunities: no one can have it all. He builds on the personal philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, Steve Jobs, and other iconic personalities to offer insightful, research-backed, and practical tips for taking back control of your life by embracing the power of less. Any team leader, parent, or individual feeling strained by the weight of a schedule spiraling out of control will find this book invaluable.

About Taken as His Prize by Tamsin Bacall

DEFEATED. CAPTURED. STRUGGLING TO RESIST. DESPERATE TO BE TAKEN.

JACK

I’m the man in the shadows. The point that all the money leads to. I control everything in this city. Anything I want? It’s mine.

And right now I want Riley Lark.

Perfect, pale curves. Wide, vivid eyes. Full of dreams, passion, and delusions. She doesn’t even realize how gorgeous she is–or how stupid.

Her idiot fiancé owes me a great deal of money. I’m going to take his company and I’m going to take Riley. No one can stand in my way. I’ll break anyone in the world in order to possess her.

I need to get this infatuation out of me. But if I let Riley into my heart I could lose it all; myself and my empire. I won’t let that happen.

She thinks she can resist me. I’m going to claim her, use her, and break her. I’ll show her how dark the world really is, then I’ll throw her away.

This can’t be love.

RILEY

I’m kidnapped and held as collateral for my bastard fiancé’s debts. I’ve become the possession of the most dangerous man in New York, Jack Turner.

He’s like no one I’ve ever known–powerful and primordial. He wants to destroy me but I’ll resist him. He may own my body, but he’ll never break my soul.

But I betray myself each time he punishes me. Why do I crave his cruel touch? A beast like him couldn’t truly want me, could he?

No. If I fall for him then I’ll truly be broken. He says he’ll make me beg him to take me. I can’t let that happen–he can’t have my heart. I have to find a way to break him before he breaks me.

I can’t be in love.

A full length 90,000 word, standalone, very steamy romance, with no cheating and an HEA.

About Volcanoes, Jungles and Leeches: A Glimpse of Indonesia by Gordon Alexander

There was a point when, covered in leeches and limping off a volcano, layered in mud from head-to-toe, that Gordon realised remote jungle trekking wasn’t such a good idea after all.

From Sumbawa’s Mount Tambora, the home of the largest eruption in human history, to Krakatoa, the creator of the loudest sound ever heard by modern man, Gordon works his way across the country, taking in some of the most remarkable, beautiful and downright scary places on Earth.

Having returned from Indonesia with thousands of words of mostly jargon, sprawled over three different devices, two note pads and some toilet paper, Gordon has finally pieced it all together in fairly readable English in the form of his second book.

Following the release of his first book The Nepali Flat, Gordon packed in his job to become a full-time writer, taking probably the world’s largest pay-cut in the process.

He is currently working his way through Chile and Argentina, with plans of traveling north through Bolivia and into Peru for his third book.

Gordon was born in tropical Northern Australia to a pair of intrepid adventurers that soon began dragging him around the world. He spent four years at boarding school in Scotland, partook in a brief yet unspectacular stint at the University of London, studying Arabic, before transferring to the University of Jordan (in Jordan). Six months later he gained his first professional writing experience working as a sports journalist in the Gulf.

He is off to see the world in 2018, starting with South America, with plans of trekking Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, the Canadian Rockies and pretty much anything that forms a bump on the earth’s surface.

About Willem

If he leaves, he can never come back. But is he dumb enough to get in his car and drive away anyhow?

A contemporary paranormal romance with a little night magic. New York Times bestselling author, Victoria Danann, begins a sizzling new series about an enclave of modern day witches who are sexy, philanthropic and living in the Texas Hill Country.

“Enchanted from the very first page. I couldn’t put it down!” – Night Owl Reviews 5* TOP PICK

He called the number, entered the competition and won. Winning meant getting everything he’d never even dared to dream about.

About Transforming Stigma: How to Become a Mental Wellness Superhero

Are you or a loved one struggling with mental health challenges? Do you feel like you are silently suffering in silence due to shame about your situation?

Are you at a loss trying to figure out what to do or how to get help? Do you feel like this is getting in the way of your happiness and success?

It’s time for you to begin Transforming Stigma.

In his revolutionary book, Transforming Stigma: How to Become a Mental Wellness Superhero, Mike Veny provides a simple solution to improve the lives of people struggling with mental health challenges. The agony of a lifetime battling his own mental health challenges led Mike to the realization that one of the most difficult obstacles in overcoming a mental health challenge is The Stigma Cycle.

The Stigma Cycle starts with shame; shame leads to silence; silence leads to sabotage, self-destructive behavior, social injustice, and suicide. It is a never-ending cycle that is experienced by people who struggle, and people who love someone who struggles, with mental health challenges. It is experienced by people living with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, substance abuse, and many other disorders. Mike’s personal experience with the debilitating and vicious Stigma Cycle helped him learn how to transform stigma in his own life.

Nowadays, Mike has made his life about helping others transform stigma through his work as a well-respected speaker and writer. As a 2017 PM360 ELITE Award Winner, Mike is recognized as one of the 100 most influential people in the healthcare industry. His company’s mission is to help people heal emotional pain and discover meaning through simple ideas that empower wellness and healthy relationships. This book shares breathtaking personal details of his life that led him down the path to mental health recovery.

* Meltdowns leading to multiple stays at a mental hospital in his youth
* Being expelled three times from school for constant behavioral outbursts
* Use of medication to reduce his emotional instability
* Suicide attempts
* Self-harm
* The discovery he made that ignited his mental health recovery

This is not a superhero fantasy in a comic book—this is a non-fiction tale of how we can overcome one of the most significant challenges we face: the stigma surrounding mental health.

Transforming Stigma is an investment in yourself. It provides the framework for a solution that you can apply to yourself, your loved ones, and your community. It is an aggressive plan that any person whose life has been touched by mental health challenges will benefit.

After reading Transforming Stigma: How to Become a Mental Wellness Superhero you will:

* Understand The Stigma Cycle
* Understand how to replace shame through self-care
* Learn how to use conversation to transform silence
* Learn to transform sabotage, social injustice, self-destructive behavior, and suicide through connecting with others
* Learn innovative ideas for suicide prevention
* Have a practical plan for mental health recovery

This book is a useful resource for anyone interested in learning more about:

* Mental illness
* Children’s mental health
* Adolescent mental health,

* Psychiatry
* Psychology
* Social work

This book is for you if mental health advocacy and mental wellness are important to you. It will give you a unique perspective of what it feels like to live with mental health challenges. It will also define what stigma is in a way that makes it easy to understand. And you will walk away with practical tools that you can apply immediately.

You Married a What?! is the amazingly, absurdly, deliciously funny journey of a mom having to accept her daughter’s choice of husband, especially when they come live with her, and have a baby.

Ali is from Egypt, and as a Muslim he brings a different culture, religion and stinky food into her house, so she must dig deep into her soul to find empathy and love. Her on again, off again practice of meditation, prayer and chanting help conquer her fears and intolerance. She finally comes to accept the otherness of Ali and love him for who he is and what he believes…even if he does drive like a maniac. In the end she realizes that when we come together with love, everything changes in our lives…and as a result we change everything on the planet.

About Breaking the Gladiator

A tale of forbidden love – passion, deceit, blood, anger and hope. Will it all come crashing down around them? Or will love find a way to conquer the hate instilled in them all? Who will be left standing when a gladiator falls for his Domina?

Cassian

I’m trained to kill… for the amusement of others.

Slave. Fighter. Beast.

Emotions are a weakness, so I have none; except anger and hate. All the good ones were beaten and starved out of me long ago. I barely even feel pain anymore.

But when she touches me? Feelings thrash to the surface, and in my world those are dangerous. She’s poison, feeding off my rage for her own sick pleasures. I hate her. She keeps finding cracks and opening them up, squeezing herself inside my chest.

She’s going to get me killed.

Livia

I’m Domina of the Atticus ludus, where we train gladiators to compete for victory.

Wealthy. Attractive. Powerful husband.

It appears I have it all… and I wish I could make myself feel that way. But I’m numb. Too broken to even care. The only time I feel alive is when I’m with my husband’s champion gladiator. My slave. In the arena, and the bedroom.

It’s disgusting for a woman of my rank to sleep with a man like him. He’s a dirty, worthless animal. His touch should feel repulsive. His gaze upon me should make my skin crawl.

But he’s mine. And I want more.

Note to readers: Dark Romance!! This novella contains blood and action, and steamy romance between characters battling with dominance and consent issues. Expect a lot of heat and darkness, because romance isn’t always sweet.

About Highlander Vows: Entangled Hearts Books 1 – 4

Prepare to be captivated by the first four books in USA Today bestseller Julie Johnstone’s Highlander Vows: Entangled Hearts series!

With brawny Highlanders, honorable lairds, fierce warriors, and a treacherous fight for control of Scotland, discover why readers are enthralled by these heart-pounding, passionate Scottish Medieval romances by Julie Johnstone.

When a Laird Loves a Lady: When Lady Marion de Lacy concocts a desperate scheme to avoid the marriage her father arranged for her to an evil knight, her plans go terribly awry and, instead, she finds herself rescued by and forced to wed a Scottish barbarian. Laird Iain MacLeod has no desire to marry ever again, yet finds himself obligated to do so to secure the freedom of his childhood friend and king. The stubborn Scot and willful English lady traverse a bumpy road to fiery love, and along the way, they discover that their only hope for conquering their enemies is surrendering to each other body and soul.

Wicked Highland Wishes: It started with a kiss that led to all-consuming desire between legendary warrior Lachlan MacLeod and fiercely independent Scottish lass Bridgette MacLean. They saw each other in ways no one else ever had. Things should have been perfect, except when Lachlan’s younger brother suffers a grave injury while saving Bridgette’s life, she feels unable to deny his plea for her heart. Torn between their desire and their loyalties, Bridgette and Lachlan must find the courage to grasp the passion awaiting them and withstand the pain their choices will cause. Yet even as they confront their future and love finally seems within their grasp, a fight for the Scottish throne divides the Highland clans, and Bridgette becomes a pawn in a political game that threatens to tear her and Lachlan apart forever.

Christmas in the Scot’s Arms: Scheming lasses and calculating debutants have left Laird Liam MacLeod with little hope that he can marry for love as he always wished to. That is, until he meets Cecelia Cartwright, a beautiful, witty English lady who knows nothing of his fortune. But Cecelia is duty bound to marry well to save her family from ruin and cannot succumb to the longings the honorable Liam awakens in her. The handsome Scot tempts her at every turn, and as soon as Cecelia thinks to follow her heart instead of her head, Liam reveals a secret that may well prove that charming Scots are the most dangerous rogues of them all. *This book fast forwards from the Medieval period to the Regency period to the descendants of the Medieval MacLeods. *

When a Highlander Loses His Heart: There may be an undeniable yearning flaring between Highland warrior Graham MacLeod and Isobel, the daughter of his family’s bitter enemy, but there is also a chasm of distrust after he abducts her as a means of revenge. Isobel is a promised prize for the king and a pawn to be manipulated by those that would have her for her inheritance, but when the beautiful Isobel risks her life for Graham, he no longer sees her as an adversary but a woman in need of protection. Forced to rely on each other to survive, they soon come to discover that in order to triumph over those pursuing them, they must find a way to vanquish their doubts and build a true alliance that can withstand the devastation of war and a king determined to sacrifice anything-and anyone-to keep his throne.

As a little girl I loved to create fantasy worlds and then give all my friends roles to play. Of course, I was always the heroine! Books have always been an escape for me and brought me so much pleasure, but it didn’t occur to me that I could possibly be a writer for a living until I was in a career that was not my passion. One day, I decided I wanted to craft stories like the ones I loved, and with a great leap of faith I quit my day job and decided to try to make my dream come true. I discovered my passion, and I have never looked back. I feel incredibly blessed and fortunate that I have been able to make a career out of sharing the stories that are in my head! I write Scottish Medieval Romance, Regency Romance, and I have even written a Paranormal Romance book. And because I have the best readers in the world, I have hit the USA Today bestseller list several times.

About The Poop Book

Poop is more than just the butt of a joke, it can actually tell us how well our digestive system is functioning, how at risk we are for bowel disorders including colon cancer, and other aspects about your overall health. Throughout this book, we’ll see that we should start treating our bowel movements like a vital sign similar to heart rate or blood pressure, because they can tell us how well the body is functioning on a daily basis.

In other words, in this book we will be exploring why we should look before we flush.
