From Darkness into Love (Hope & Hearts from Swan Harbor Book 1) by Sophie Bartow

How many times will you risk your heart for love?
When tragedy tore Jessie’s life apart, Cameron saved her and captured her heart. Just when they thought they had it all, impossible demands sent her running from everything … and everyone she loved.
It’s taken years, but Cameron’s broken heart has finally been put back together. An unexpected meeting with someone new gives him a chance to move on. Then, one night, he looks up, and Jessie’s standing there.
With Jessie back in town, their chemistry is too powerful to resist. When the threatening messages return, they must face the fact that someone in Swan Harbor will do anything to keep them apart. Do they let the enemy win and go their separate ways? Or do they risk their hearts and fight for the future they want … together?
For a chance at a happy ending, isn’t love worth the risk?

I am a married, mother of four, who lives in S. Florida with my family, a spoiled dog, Bandit, and an equally spoiled cat, Irma. After over thirty years as a speech/language pathologist working with post stroke and Parkinson’s patients, I’ve finally given in to her muse.

I write small-town mystery romance with layered plots and characters that are smart, loveable and complex. The Hope & Hearts from Swan Harbor Series has six historical novellas and fifteen contemporary books. The final book in the series will be released 7/26/2024. Each book has a new couple, a mystery and a happy ending. However, there are multiple threads that run in and out of the series.

While there are several entry points to the series, it is best to begin with book 1 and follow the journey of love to the end. For a review of the series, please check out https://sophiebartow.com/

BOOKBUB – The End Of Try Try Again by Kristen Carter, MS
Forget the idea that you have to sign on to a restrictive diet or rigorous exercise plan in order to lose some weight and feel more energetic. Discover how you can choose an acceptable lifestyle that balances desire with health. Find a way that allows YOU to be in control of your choices, and discover solutions that fit into YOUR life.
The End of Try Try Again starts with understanding how we form habits and why they can be so difficult to break. This book explains how our brains and bodies work so that we can work with them, not against them.
The End of Try Try Again shows you why some of our attitudes and beliefs don’t serve us, and gives us access to a whole new way of thinking about diet and exercise.
Trying to follow a prescribed diet or exercise program often leads to resistance and rebellion!
The OLD messages can lead to such thoughts as:
“This diet will help me stay motivated because it will produce quick results.”
“I guess last time I tried, I just wasn’t motivated enough.”
“I have to exercise hard to get the pounds off.”
“Once I get started, I will figure out how far I want to go with this.”
Unfortunately, we can get caught in a loop that doesn’t show us the way out.
Based on extensive research, this book explains why making big changes to how we eat and exercise is complicated. Using the science of motivation, it lays out how to find deep motivation based on personal values, not passing fads. It then presents a clear, inspirational formula that is simple but can lead to life-changing results.

Brooke May has been a Wyoming girl her entire life, most of it right here in Sheridan where the majority of her family resides. Growing up, she’s always had a wild imagination that came together to publish her first book, a cowboy romance inspired by her home and the rodeos she’s always loved attending.

Now, she continues to write where her imagination takes her with most books inspired by the scenery and beauty that is Sheridan, the Bighorns, and Wyoming. She’s a wife and mother of two and splits her time writing, playing with her kids, and of course, hiking, hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling in her favorite places in the BigHorns.

The sky isn’t the limit for her and all the stories she still has to share. There’s a little bit of everything for any romance reader; cowboys to fighters, bad boys to soldiers, werewolves to romantic comedies, and even a sweet cupid series for younger readers.

KASPER KINGSTON

With my plan to weaken the two major crime families set in motion, I retreat to a remote cabin to wait out the destruction and plan my takeover. None of my plans included a man claiming to be from another planet.

Believing he’s been sent to kill me, his ridiculous claim a distraction meant to throw me off, I hold him prisoner. But then he goes and saves my life. Maybe there’s something to this alien thing after all. One thing is certain, my pathway to power just got a whole lot easier with him on my side.

All I have to do now is stay focused on the mission and not get distracted by the allure of my otherworldly hero.

LEILPHUN

After fleeing the authorities on my home planet to avoid the punishment of the fighting arena, I awake on Earth only to find I’ve exchanged one prison for another. The difference is, I can tell the wary human holding me captive won’t harm me. He might be reluctant to believe I’m not human, but deep-down he knows I’m not a threat.

Despite his suspicion, he treats me well and even initiates the betrothal ritual. Which is why when people show up in the middle of the night intending to kill him, I call upon my warrior spirit to defend him; the very warrior spirit I’d sworn never to use, because I fear losing myself to my primal nature.

Now, Kasper has made me a part of his mission to rise to the top; but how can I be certain it’s me he truly wants? What if I’m just a pawn in his struggle for power – only good for my talents, but not worthy of his love?

Immersed in the enchanting world of classical ballet during her school years at a specialised girls’ boarding school, Eleanor Dixon leapt into a thrilling professional dance career, across the European stage. Settling for several years in Athens, Greece, she not only founded and ran her own ballet school but also lent her skills as a volunteer veterinary nurse, fuelled by an insatiable love for animals.

Returning to England with her horse and cat, Eleanor now lives on a Shropshire smallholding with her husband, surrounded by an eclectic mix of farm animals and a perpetual stream of pets. However, it was during her Grecian escapades that she discovered her genuine passion for writing. First prize in an adult Fairy Story competition hosted by Writing Magazine marked the beginning of her literary journey, fuelled by the desire to bring magic and excitement to her readers.

Initially drawn to children’s literature upon her return to England, the demands of caring for Highland Cattle, sheep, hens, and a menagerie of pets, coupled with her global travels, temporarily shifted her focus. Yet, undeterred, she channelled her storytelling prowess into daily journals and lively travel blogs, weaving tales of her adventures.

Now fully immersed in the world of writing, “THE GRACEFUL GHOST” was her debut independently published sensation. The book, a dazzling reflection of her ballet-boarding school and teenage escapades, shot to fame with a prestigious shortlisting for the UKSelfies21 Award. This success fuelled the birth of a captivating series, with “Ballet School Boys”, “Ballet School Rumours” and “Triple Trouble at Amberwood” continuing the mesmerising tales of resident ghosts, Grace and Rodney. The series has also received a further two awards from The Wishing Shelf.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Eleanor is also working on an epic six-book series titled “TALLY AND THE ANGEL.” Tally and her angel embark on jaw-dropping adventures from India to Canada’s North Yukon, Japan and now, Greece. Each book in the series is a thrilling tapestry, weaving in an extra story at the beginning of every chapter, unravelling the mysteries of mystical elements.

Driven by an unyielding perfectionism, Eleanor ensures the professional refinement of her works, subjecting them to thorough third-party editing and proofreading before they grace the printed page. Eleanor Dixon has won multiple awards with her middle-grade stories.

An unexpected guest turns up in Port Townsend for Thanksgiving dinner at the O’Connell Compound. Edward, the eldest brother, has cast aside his Roman collar and arranged for an extended stay in a hotel. In his youth, he sowed some impressive wild oats. Joining the priesthood meant turning his back not only on his checkered past but also his worldly family.
Edward becomes a regular at Café Lisette, owned by the alluring and lissome Lisette Manegold. Based on scant evidence, his brother-in-law believes Lisette is a man-eater and a former call girl. Though those labels are off the mark, she has in fact buried an identity that would shock any family, let alone one as wealthy and respectable as the O’Connells.
Edward rejoices in his own fresh start and is prepared to overlook any and all dark secrets. It is Lisette who can’t forgive herself and move on. This Christmas season, they hope to reimagine the holiday together. If only the ghosts of the past will let them.

Terri Sabol is an accomplished children’s book author, renowned for her heartwarming and entertaining stories featuring the real-life adventures of her two beloved rescue kittens, Oscar and Emmy. Born and raised in Texas, Terri developed a love of writing and storytelling at a young age, and always dreamed of one day becoming an author. Thinking that was out of reach, she focused on her other dream… teaching.

After graduating from college with a Masters degree in education, Terri worked as an early childhood teacher, and it was during this time that her passion for picture books truly blossomed. She was inspired by the joy and wonder that children experienced when reading and listening to stories, and it was this love for inspiring young minds that led her to create her own series of children’s books.

Terri’s debut book, “Oscar and Emmy Get Rescued”, was published in 2016, and told the heartwarming story of how she came to adopt her two kittens from the animal shelter where she volunteered. The book was an instant hit with children and parents alike, and it quickly became clear that there was a demand for more stories featuring Oscar and Emmy and to help educate children on the importance being involved in pet care.

Over the years, Terri has continued to write new books in the series, each one capturing the unique personalities and quirks of her two adventurous cats. Her books not only entertain children, but also promote the values of compassion and kindness towards animals, as well as the importance of rescue and adoption.

In addition to her Oscar and Emmy series, Terri has also written several other books showing off her writing skills, including “Green With Envy” and “Kneading a Winning Idea”.

When she’s not writing, Terri can be found spending time with her two rescue kitties, Oscar and Emmy. She also loves travelling and exploring new places and visiting old favorites, all the while taking inspiration for her next book. Through her stories, Terri hopes to inspire children to explore the world around them, to embrace their imaginations, to never give up on their goals, and to always be kind and compassionate towards others, especially animals.

If you love POE, BARKER and THE TWILIGHT ZONE, you’ll love “PUZZLEMAN”!

“It’s impossible,” Erik told Amanda. “Ya can’t kill him. Not even God can do that.”

Fall into a world of Grumemonsters––hideous zombie-like creatures that thrive in a living hell created by the Puzzleman––where no one is sane down a drain, and down a drain no one is sane.

Follow Amanda Zimmerman, a young sculptress despondently searching for understanding after the tragic death of her infant son…
John Rainbow (a professor of classical history) and Jeannette Orfèvre (a beautiful French vintner) still longing for the love they shared during World War II…
The legless man, seeking retribution and escape from a horror worse than death…
And Ben Henfry, a retired detective itching to get back in the game…

Disparate lives, yet each are meticulously woven together over time to play a special part in the Puzzleman’s twisted vision of eternal life. Into the black Cathedral Fleur du Sang and into the pipes they must go––into a terrifying world of Grumemonsters, where the inaccuracies of accepted history and the gruesome future of mankind are laid bare. For Amanda, Professor Rainbow, Jeannette, the legless man, and Detective Henfry, the Puzzleman is a personal demon awakened into a living nightmare––and it’s up to them alone to wage their fight for sanity and salvation. A fight that swells into a harrowing escape, spanning two continents and the supernatural perversion of time and dimension. Welcome to the Pipeworld.
Welcome to truth and eternity.
Welcome to the world of the Puzzleman…where no one is sane down a drain.
And down a drain no one is sane.

Genre – Erotica Romance

In the shadows of desire, three hearts are tested. Will one end up broken?

~~~Justine~~~
As a doctoral student studying authenticity, Club Shattered Embrace is a gold mine for my dissertation research and people-watching. But I never expected to find myself on my knees before Derek Ingram, the enigmatic and emotionally distant playboy, in a class about power dynamics. With each lesson, he pushes me to explore my desires and boundaries. But I’m beginning to question whether our connection is purely academic or something more.

~~~Jordan~~~
I’m an event planner with a love for uninhibited adventure and passion. Club Shattered Embrace is my playground, where I indulge in my favorite pastime: pleasure with multiple partners. But lately, I’ve found myself wanting more from Derek. What will it take to convince him it’s time for our causal relationship to move to the next level?

~~~Derek~~~
I thought I’d left danger behind when I returned home from my service as a Navy SEAL and joined Ingram Enterprises. But I was wrong. I’m still haunted by my past and Lucian, a dangerous head of a powerful family. When my brother, Zachary, and his sub become targets, I’ve no choice but to take Lucian down to keep everyone I love safe─including the two women whom my heart can’t seem to decide on. Jordan’s allure always has me burning for more, but I can’t resist the urge to protect and guide sweet Justine into finding who her soul longs to be.

Discovering Desire, the third book in the Shattered Embrace series, is a scorching-hot exploration of acceptance, trust, vulnerability, and the complexities of human connection. Don’t miss the adventures awaiting an ex-military protector turned corporate mogul, who finds himself unsure of which is more dangerous: infiltrating an enemy organization or being in a love triangle with two wildly different strong women.

The big bad wolf is the least of her worries…
Breaking free from her homeschooled cocoon, Lily is ecstatic to head off to college. She’s waving goodbye to her mom’s doom-and-gloom speeches about the big, scary world, ready to embrace freedom without a care.
George is every girl’s dream—funny, smart, and handsome. But he’s still wrecked by the mysterious disappearance of his high school sweetheart. He yearns for closure but wallows in self-pity, pining for his lost love.
Sparks fly when Lily and George meet, and their mutual attraction is instantaneous. But George resists their electric connection and retreats. Frustrated by his repeated rejections, Lily is ready to walk away for good.’
Behind the scenes, an inexperienced fairy godmother teams up with an annoyingly handsome and arrogant guardian angel to stop Lily from ditching her true soulmate, George—a potentially catastrophic decision. While they debate their strategy, an enemy from George’s past devises a greedy and revengeful plot that could destroy everything. Can George save Lily, or will he suffer a lonely future—this time, forever?
When fairies, guardian angels, and mortals collide, anything can happen.
While this novel is a complete tale in itself, delving into the first book, Ashes, will enrich your understanding of the characters and their journey.

Julie Castle is a natural-born romantic with a modicum of artistic talent inherited from her mom and a love for telling tall tales she got from her dad. That set her up for being a starving artist, the biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. She’s so glad she chose the latter. She’s always had a love affair with the written word. As a child growing up in a small town, she loved visiting the local library, a converted gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old mansion could be a spooky place, but she still loved it. She enjoyed poking into behind the scenes areas she wasn’t supposed to venture into. She’s still the same way, which is why she loves writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful, super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny. She resides in Wisconsin with her family.

What do you do when you find out your husband’s cheating on you, your aunt just passed away in Florida, and your boss gave the promotion to your work nemesis, so you threaten him with bodily harm in the middle of a board meeting?
Well, after getting escorted out of the building by security, I fly straight to Sunshine Key to deal with my aunt’s estate.
There, I meet my new neighbor, a gorgeous, surly man with all the charm of a rusty anchor, but at least he’s easy on the eyes when he’s not scowling. My aunt leaves her boat club to the two of us. Fifty-fifty ownership despite the fact I know absolutely nothing about boats. Or Florida. The will declares I have to live on this tiny key one full year if I want to inherit the oceanfront house too.
As I reclaim who I am as a woman, as well as discover which pieces of my fractured life I want to glue back together, Dec Boggs starts to show a sensitive, protective side under that crusty exterior that has my battered heart beating again. But the man is hiding from his own past and not even a string of boat rides, gator encounters, and sultry nights below the palm trees can get him to open up. More secrets get revealed with each day I spend in Florida and old family wounds are exposed.
Should I abandon ship after the year is up? Or will this salty life in the Sunshine State become a salt love?

My name is David Kummer. I’m a young writer who leans towards horror, mystery, thrillers, and young adult fiction. My books are fast-paced, easy-to-read, with shocking twists and unpredictable endings.

My new series is The House on the Hill, a new type of haunted house trilogy focusing on one family and the small town under attack. It’s creepy enough for horror readers, but character-focused and plot-driven, so it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys a good mystery novel.

I grew up in Madison, Indiana, a small town on the Ohio River, with lots of history and settings around here that influence my books. Now I live in New Albany with my fantastic wife. When I’m not writing, I’m a full-time English teacher for 9th graders and I enjoy spending as much time as possible outdoors.

You may have read some great authors before and some fascinating books, but this is the first time you’ve had an experience like this. Try something and let me convince you.

Lynn Brooks is officially over it.��With four overprotective brothers, the youngest Brooks sibling has had enough with bossy alphas. So, when professional baseball star Joey Martel makes a play for her, she’s determined to steer clear of him and his toxic circle of jocks. Being the latest conquest for another overbearing caveman? No thanks.��Fate hasn’t gotten Lynn’s memo, though, because Joey just showed up on her treatment table with an injury that has him fearing for the state of his career. Add to that the trouble brewing once again for the Brooks family, and she might be stuck with not only a new patient but an unwelcome bodyguard.��But would it really be that bad to allow the guy who fills out his uniform pants better than anyone to tag along on her mission to save the day? If anything, it might prove what she’s known all along—that Joey is absolutely not her type, and he’s never going to win this game. Nope.�� TROPES/THEMES:� Pro baseball player� Forbidden romance� Only one bed� Small town� Cinnamon roll hero� Family hijinks� So much pining!� And did we mention Big Foot?��While Stout of My League can be enjoyed as a standalone, there are spoilers from books 1-3 contained within.
