For fans of Mary Alice Monroe’s The Beach House comes a heartwarming story from women’s fiction author Diane Owens Prettyman about second chances as two people find a pathway out of their grief – directly in the aftermath of a hurricane.
The Texas Gulf: beautiful yet unpredictable.
A beach town destroyed. Her mother’s candy store swept away. This is what Teddy Wainsworth faces when she returns to Bird Isle. Meanwhile, Jack Shaughness, owner of a popular barbecue restaurant chain and widower still grieving the death of his wife, receives permission to cross over to the island with a smoker full of brisket to feed hurricane survivors. Soon after arriving, he meets Teddy and immediately finds himself drawn to her – which makes him feel he is betraying his wife. When the two find a lost dog, Jack convinces Teddy to take it home while they attempt to find the owner, creating a bond that brings them closer.
In the wake of the hurricane, Bird Isle residents fear the Aransas Wildlife Refuge will not be ready for the whooping cranes’ annual migration south. Seeing that Jack has important connections and a love for the island, they enlist him to help restore the habitat of the endangered cranes before they fly to Padre Island for the winter. With their rescued dog always nearby, Teddy and Jack work side by side to rebuild Bird Isle for the return of the whooping cranes. But Jack is harboring a secret that may ruin everything he and Teddy are creating – and he won’t be able to keep that secret forever.

<span;>‘Fooling other people is duplicity; fooling yourself is stupidity.’

<span;>In 1997, sixteen-year-old Tana Davis imagined a bright future for herself; she would finish school, become a lawyer, and generally swish her way through life being brilliant. But a chance encounter with a stranger on a Cornish beach pushed Tana’s life onto a different path.

<span;>Fast forward to 2010, and Tana awakes in a French hospital, with limited memories about what happened to put her there. Images flicker through her head: a ten-car pile-up, a terrorist attack, a brutal mugging. A train wreck or a plane crash. Anything could have happened. But what did? And where are her children?

<span;>Forced to examine her life to this point, Tana must admit some brutal truths about herself, her family and her relationships.

<span;>Based loosely on the twelve-step recovery programme, Tana’s story confronts some of the most fundamental issues that we all face – how we create meaning in our life, how perceptions influence the way we conduct ourselves, and how relationships can be tested.

A doctor with a name crisis.
A mother with a child stuck in a hospital ward.
A way to raise money for kids for the holiday season.
A calendar in need of a December doctor.
Leeona isn’t taking no for an answer. Her charity calendar needs one more hot doctor to agree to model, and quickly. Stephen Clause is smart and sexy – basically everything she’s looking for. She’ll do anything to convince him to sign on to the project.
Stephen has no interest in being Dr. December. There are already enough issues in his life stemming from the last name Clause without adding something else to the pile. The problem is, the feisty woman asking for a favour doesn’t know when to give up.
The comment was meant as a joke and perhaps to embarrass her just enough to give up the ghost. He never expected her to agree to fulfill his entire naughty wish list in exchange for volunteering to pose as her sexy Santa.

When Cole Johnson was eight-years-old, he married Rose Prescott. Never mind that the aisle was made of holiday table runners, she wore an old lace curtain, and her brother performed the ceremony in a musty basement.
Twenty-four years later, Cole is more in love than ever and ready to wed Rose for real. This time, it’ll be at an exquisite wedding venue and the minister will know how to read. But that’s not all. He wants to give Rose the life he’s always dreamed of: a big house with a picket fence, twin boys, a family dog, and a rock solid 401K.
But Rose doesn’t seem to want any of it – not even a little. Because it’s not at all the future she covets. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. The thought of a hefty mortgage payment and a minivan full of children isn’t just suffocating… it’s insufferable.
As the wedding approaches, Cole grows uneasy and can’t help but feel like Rose is hiding something. Despite his suspicions, the day of their wedding arrives without a hitch. The question is, how will the day end?

If you’re playing hide and seek, Lynn’s default hiding place is always between the pages of a book.  Whether it’s a recent bestseller or the latest release from one of her favorite authors, or creating new stories of her own, Lynn’s world must include books to fall into, to be dragged under, to immerse herself in fantasies, romances, thrillers, ideas, or new ways of looking at and experiencing life.  Her writing reflects her wide-ranging interests, but you’ll find most of her books in the romantic suspense, mysteries and thrillers and historical romance genres, usually with a magical or supernatural thread woven through the tapestry of the stories. When she’s not reading or writing, Lynn spends time with family and friends, traveling around the country and the world, and whenever she can, at the beach, under an umbrella…reading a book, of course.

Loretta’s Stick That Walks (Loretta’s Insects Series) by Lois Wickstrom

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by


Ants are carrying bleeding heart fern seeds to their anthill. They stop to nibble something off the end of a seed. When Loretta bends down to investigate, a seed-like pod falls from the branch above her head. The ants take that to their nest, too.

What could it be? The branch over her head has no flowers. Seeds come from flowers. Where could this seed have come from?

As she watches, a branch starts walking. It must be an insect. But, insects don’t make seeds. Insects drop eggs. The ants take the eggs to their nest, just like the seeds. They even nibble on them, just like seeds.

What are the ants doing with the seeds and eggs in their anthill?

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.

Freaky Finales by C.A. King
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Supernatural Occult
Page Count – 188
Cover Designer – Mikki Noble
Freaky Finales is a series of fictional shorts. They are in no way a representation of real beliefs or existing religions.
Scare Queen: A woman’s plight for youth
The search for everlasting youth has been written about for centuries. In this one, the answer doesn’t come in the form of the fountain of youth though. The fictional supreme being in this story is unique and represents both the good and evil sides of humanity, offering up temptations and tests, as well as just rewards on either side of the spectrum.
Essentially Broken: A nurse’s curse
This short is a damned if you do, damned if you don’t, fictional story about a nurse gifted with healing hands and how she uses her ability. This one really hits home in the feels department.
No Pest Pesticide: Chemical damage to nature
If you’ve read my work, especially the apocalyptic stories, you know I like to tie them to environmental issues, not necessarily real ones. This short is a look at a fake pesticide destroying the planet.
Mother Knows Best: A Halloween outing gone wrong.
The tension between a mother and her teenage daughter hits extremes in this rebellious tale with a twisted outcome.
Respect: An angel’s fall from Heaven
First I’d like to say this is a fictional world, with a fictional religion and a fictional God, who perhaps isn’t running the whole show.
Xarlapin an emotionless and genderless angel becomes attached to the mortal world and, in particular, a heterosexual woman. Because of those growing feelings, the angel chooses to become a mortal man and remain at her side as a partner.
Yup! It’s a love story.
Bonus:
When Leaves Fall: An emotional journey of cruelty.
Sob!
Sob!
Sob!
Grab the tissues.
This one is my absolute favourite of all the stories I’ve written. I’m not putting any spoilers in here, but if you want an ugly cry, this is the read for you.

Match Made in Montana Complete Series
FINDERS KEEPERS, COWBOY: Meg Hawke’s antique store is faltering. When her octogenarian neighbor Hank asks her to clean out his shed and sell antiques on consignment, she has a real chance at discovering forgotten treasure. If she steps foot on the Montana ranch, however, she’ll come face-to-face with her childhood frenemy and Hank’s grandson, Ryan.
After selling off the ranch’s cattle years before, Ryan Kincaid dove into the world of high-end tourism and devoted everything to the business. For his sanity, he avoids his annoying known-her-since-childhood neighbor, Meg. With the forced proximity of the shed project happening in his backyard, though, he’s singing a different tune. Perhaps he’d been wrong about her.
Then, a sudden discovery spurs both change and challenge, and they’re forced to choose the potential of ever-after or to finally move on forever.
Tropes: old enemies, rivals, love/hate, last to know, forced proximity, matchmaker, cowboy, small town
CATCH A COWBOY: Kincaid Ranch lead cowboy, Ted Stirling, isn’t looking for romance or entanglements. He settled in Herd, Montana over a decade ago following a devastating loss. He seeks comfort and friendship. Nothing more. If he was going to try for love again, he would pick someone sweet and sunny, exactly like kindergarten teacher, Stephanie Patricks. But she’s too young for him.
Stephanie has nursed a crush on quiet, handsome Ted for years. Every time she’s around him, however, she gets tongue-tied. She only seems to be able to find her words when she’s working with her students. Then, Ted’s sister unexpectedly arrives in town with his five-year-old niece in tow, and he needs Stephanie’s help, thrusting them together.
But a sudden emergency puts into sharp focus exactly how fragile life is, and he needs to decide whether or not to open his heart again.
Tropes: age gap, sworn off relationships, matchmaker, child’s teacher/nanny, cowboy, small town
UNMASKING A COWGIRL: Middle school teacher and amateur historian, Joe Staunch, likes everyone in smalltown, Herd, Montana. Except for Abby Whit. He can’t quite pinpoint what bugs him so much besides the unnerving feeling she is lying to him and everyone in the close-knit community.
Food truck owner, Abby Whit has a secret. The descendant of the infamous Whittier family, she never meant to settle in town under an alias, but she can’t imagine living anywhere else. Time is running out to claim her property, and she is unsure how to do so without upsetting everyone.
Is it too late to make amends and start over? And can love survive a lie?
Tropes: matchmaker, love/hate, enemies, secrets, mistaken identity, small town, heir

A Garland at Bitterbark Creek by Tammy Mannersly

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

He’s found a new home with her family while his own holds secrets to her past… This heart-wrenching 300+ page rural romance novel will have you gasping and keep you guessing as mysteries unravel, and as Jack and Sophie discover whether their love for one another can survive the deepest of wounds and darkest of betrayals.
Had it not been for her cousin’s wedding, Sophie Wendall would never have returned to Bitterbark Creek – her aunt and uncle’s idyllic farm-stay on the outskirts of town. Twenty years ago, tragedy stole everything from her including her memory, leaving only secrets and lies. Now that she’s back, there are just two things on her mind: to find out the truth of what really happened to her that day at the dam and to steer clear of the wicked Garland family and their charismatic son – the boy who broke her heart.
Jackson Garland is one of the few people who know what really happened to Sophie all those years ago, but he’s terrified of sharing the truth. To do so would jeopardize his happy sanctuary and newfound home at Bitterbark Creek. Upon reconnecting with Sophie, he realizes that while her extended family may have accepted him as one of their own, she’s going to take a little more convincing. Although he tries to charm and distract her to keep his secrets safe, it isn’t long before he’s at risk of falling under her own tantalizing spell.
As children, their love for one another kept them close until a car accident took one life and hatred tried to steal another. But dark truths can’t be hidden forever when ghosts from the past step into the light. Might the revelations be too daunting for them to handle? Or will Jack and Sophie finally put aside their family history and let love guide them into a future together?
A GARLAND AT BITTERBARK CREEK is about heartbreaking loss, rediscovering love and the healing ability of forgiveness and acceptance. If you love reading the novels of Mandy Magro, Alissa Callen, and Rachael Johns, then you will adore this heartfelt, second chance love story by award-winning author, Tammy Mannersly.

Zeno
My sister was the brightest star in my life. Until she vanished without a trace.
A lead brings me to Nazario Vaccaro’s youngest daughter.
Posing as her bodyguard, I’m sworn to protect her.
Though all I want to do is break her.
To find out what happened to my sister, I must live a lie.
But being around Laurenza makes it harder to determine what’s true and what isn’t.
Laurenza
I’m invisible to those around me, nothing more than a liability to my family.
It’s why I’m not surprised they’d force a bodyguard on me.
I’m predisposed to hate Zeno, but the sparks between us can’t be ignored.
Despite doing my best to resist him, I fall victim to his seduction anyway.
Only, it’s not lust driving him but a deadly motive.
Because he’s labeled me a suspect. And in his mind, I’m guilty.
Motivation turns into a lustful obsession that threatens to destroy us both. When all truths are revealed, will they wash us of our supposed sins or are the planted seeds of doubt too strong to overcome?

Elegy of Love Lost: A Divorced Husband’s Sonnets by E.P. Lane

Elegy of Love Lost: A Divorced Husband’s Sonnets by E.P. Lane
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Poetry Memoir
Page Count – 360
Cover Designer – James Helps
In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare shared an eternal truth: The course of true love never did run smooth.
Such is true for poet and novelist E.P. Lane, whose own experience with love encompassed both triumphant highs and tumultuous lows before ultimately succumbing to the untimely frost of separation and divorce.
In Elegy of Love Lost, Lane takes us on a journey through his star-crossed marriage. Using the structure of Shakespeare’s immortal poetry, he presents a collection of over 150 carefully crafted sonnets that invite us to both celebrate and lament a love that wasn’t meant to last forever.
From the first flush of attraction to the final furlong of separation, poetry allows Lane to share his experiences with uncommon authenticity. Using a language of love kept alive by generations of scholars, actors, poets and lovers, Lane lets us experience the spark of first attraction, the cold winter of infidelity, and all the seasons in between.
Unique, timeless, and achingly relatable, Elegy of Love Lost: A Divorced Husband’s Sonnets demonstrates why the power of Shakespeare’s poetry remains relevant even four centuries after his death – and why the experience of love still persuades the eyes of men even without a happily-ever-after.

But where tf am I?
I want to believe I’m trapped in a nightmare, but the horrors are all too real. No, not the monsters – the two brothers whose prison I’ve fallen into.
They both want me because I’m their ticket out of this godforsaken place. I’ve become the prize in their twisted rivalry.
I just want to go home. But in order to do that, I’ve got to stop fighting and give in to their brutish ways. Because as much as I’m their key to escape, they are mine. We’re all bound by circumstance with only one way out…
Let them have me.

A typical night of partying leaves Daniel Blair with far more than a hangover. His myriad of strange symptoms defy explanation, as does the blood on his pillow. And something is very wrong with his tongue.
Afraid he contracted a terrible unknown illness, Daniel seeks help. But his frantic search for answers takes a horrifying turn. Struck by violent impulses, and compelled by a cryptic voice in his head, he commits unspeakable acts. He struggles to fight back, but something is growing inside him, changing him, breaking his mind.
As his life spirals out of control, Daniel discovers the “invasion” of his body has a purpose more insidious and far-reaching than he could ever imagine. One Earth isn’t ready for—and might not survive.
