if wearing a love charm can warm her fiancé’s cold feet, she’s happy to stuff

promise that the right man will find her, guaranteed, but how can that happen

Sneak Peek inside... </h2>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Sam
scribbled the hamburger special on the board, carried his coffee through the
front door and sat down on the step. He sent a nod across the road as the
lights flicked on in Tracy’s beauty parlor. Raised his mug when Howard came out
to change the pictures in the window of his real estate office, and lifted a
hand to salute Jeff who was wheeling a third barbeque out to the front of his
hardware store.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Over
at Cy’s Deli, rumor was that Howard had his hair colored in Tracy’s back room.
Some folks wondered what else went on back there, but Jeff swore everything was
aboveboard, since Tracy was still carrying a torch for Stan over at the Kwik
Way. Sam nodded at a passing pickup and the driver honked back. A typical
Saturday morning in Schomberg, every face familiar, every name known. While it
made privacy difficult and gossip a way of life, it also made it impossible to
ignore the woman talking to herself in front of the post office. She wasn’t a
crazy person and definitely wasn’t dangerous. She was just Molly, who had
wandered off again to sit under the statue honoring Schomberg’s war heroes and
read the names of her two sons, Albert and Walter. No one was surprised when Cy
took her into the Deli for a coffee because everyone knew Molly’s family would
be around to collect her soon enough, and she wasn’t hurting a soul. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Sam
rose with his empty cup, still finding it odd that the very things that had
driven him away years ago were the same things that had drawn him right back.
He’d taken a risk in moving to Schomberg, gambling everything he had on a town
that was still small and unsophisticated, and had only recently recognized its
own charm. Subdivisions had sprouted in areas he’d last seen as farms and
orchards, while outlet malls and shopping centers drew even the old-timers away
from Schomberg’s main street. Yet there were people like him trying to breathe
new life into the town with shops like the Looking Glass down the road and the
Peanut Gallery near the highway. And of course there was the Tap Room, the most
ambitious of all, with the most potential for disaster. Still, he couldn’t name
a single regret or find any way to make Maxine Henley understand why.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Simmons is a writer by day, college instructor by night and a late sleeper on
weekends. She grew up in Toronto reading Greek mythology, bringing home stray
cats and making up stories about bodies in the basement. From an early age, her
family knew she would either end up as a writer or the old lady with a hundred
cats. As luck would have it, she married a man with allergies so writing it
was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

there is a cat – a beautiful, if spoiled, Birman. If you’d like to read the

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thirty-four year old, Mimi Finnegan is the third of four daughters and in her eyes, by far, the most unremarkable. She has no singular accomplishment that can stand up to any of her sisters. And if that isn’t enough, she is the only single sibling in her family. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mimi’s sisters decide that it’s time she gets serious about husband hunting, so they begin a campaign to find Mr. Right for her. Considering her most recent dating encounters include a night club owner who stuffs bratwurst in his pants and a WASPy trust fund baby, living happily under his mother’s thumb, Mimi is more than ready to meet THE ONE. Enter celebrated British novelist Elliot Fielding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sexual tension and anger heat up between the duo and it isn’t until Mimi discovers that Elliot is almost engaged to another that she realizes she is head-over-heels in love with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The journey will make you laugh, cry and want to pull your hair out from frustration! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mimi eventually learns that she is quite remarkable in her own right and never needed to worry that she lived in her sister’s shadows. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Reinvention of Mimi Finnegan is the perfect laugh-out-loud, feel good book for any woman who has ever felt that she wasn’t good enough. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Who is Whitney Dineen? </span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While attending the University of Illinois in Chicago, Whitney Dineen was discovered by a local modeling agent and began an unexpected career as a plus-size Ford model. She modeled in New York City before moving to Los Angeles with her husband.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When she wasn’t modeling, she was in the kitchen, baking delights to share with friends. Soon, her friends began asking her to send baskets of her wonderful candies and cookies to business associates, agents and production studios. Word spread like wildfire, and the rest, as they say, is history. Whitney’s sensational creations are still in great demand by her loyal celebrity clientele (</span><a href="http://www.whitneysgoodies.com/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #546f2e;">www.WhitneysGoodies.com</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">During “The Hollywood Years,” Whitney was bitten by the writing bug and started creating characters that are inspired by strong women with a great sense of humor.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition to her love of chick-lit, Whitney has also written a series of adventure books for middle readers The first of which, Wilhelmina and the Willamette Wig Factory, is nearing completion.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whitney and her husband, Jimmy, have recently relocated to the beautiful Pacific Northwest to raise their children, chickens and organic vegetables.</span></div>

But even while living under Wayne’s protection bad things happen to Julia all the time -- Most recently the charge for her husband’s attempted murder. The former fashion designer turned celebrity stylist is clumsy, talentless, can’t get anything right and only working because her best friend Ashleigh took pity on her. Julia knows this because Wayne tells her all the time. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But what Julia sees as caring protection, in Ashleigh’s honest opinion, goes far beyond the line of jealous possessiveness and she’s out to prove Wayne is behind Julia’s obscure accidents. Can Julia convince Ashleigh that her injuries are never at Wayne’s hands before Ashleigh goes too far? Or will Wayne finally force Julia to cut all ties with the one person who can destroy their lives completely? </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Blurred Lines is second book in the Behind Closed Doors Series</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">She's funny, intelligent, and has an incredibly exciting past time as a paranormal super spy (even if that is inside her own head). I love her!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Like most high school kids Kit has to deal with the kids you shouldn't mess with, but in Kits case the kid you shouldn't mess with is being controlled by an evil manipulative psycho of a child who definitely gets his comeuppance. Thank god!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was great to meet another of Larsen's character with whom I can fall in love with. It was fabulous to see Kit (and Patti) tackle the seriousness of bullying and cyber bullying with the sensitivity it deserves while also providing a powerful message to her readers both the young and young at heart. Don't suffer in silence, don't be ashamed of who you are, and talk to someone - anyone - and finally, you may feel it but you are definitely not alone.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>A Sneak Peek Inside...</b></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">Lots of unexpected things had
happened in my life. When Joel walked out on me after ten years of marriage
that was unexpected. When my grandfather died a few months later that was
unexpected, too. It seemed like all the unexpected things in my life weren't
the good kind. Until now.</span><br />

game moved slowly. Painfully so. Then there were extra innings. I wanted to
pound my head on the railing. The only real bright spots were when Clay ran out
to take left field. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched his long easy
stride. Did he really ask me out? I asked myself again and again. Twice during
the game he'd run over to the stands on his way to the dugout and give me the
ball he had just caught. The first time he leaned forward and whispered in my
ear, "I can't wait to see you later." The second time, he handed me
the ball and playfully whined like a little kid, "When is this game going
to be o-o-o-ver?" <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> I
was thinking the same thing. That's when Sam chimed in again, "There's no
way he's twenty-five. No way." I rolled my eyes and sat down. It looked
like Sam was falling into one of his melancholy moods, the kind that started
hitting him out of the blue after his wife passed away. But even that couldn't
ruin my excitement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Finally,
the game ended. By that time, I didn't care about the final score or who won. I
hurriedly said goodbye to Sam and jogged my way up the stairs, dodged a bunch
of people, and jumped over a few seats to get to the stadium exit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He's the perfect catch…for now! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When it comes to romance, Tracy Hayden is not looking for a rematch. She's had epic passion—and problems!—with professional hockey player Ike Jelinek. Brilliant on skates and magic in bed, his too-traditional-for-her views were like a bucket of ice water on their affair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then an injury takes Ike out of the game, and everything changes. Suddenly he needs her services-providing business—even though he once claimed it was their biggest problem. Tracy's determined to be professional, despite the sizzling attraction between them that won't go away. Maybe they need a second fling to fix that!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A Sneak Peek Inside</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Why does it take so long to have a baby?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At her niece’s question, Tracy Hayden looked up from the stack of invoices she was logging into her business’s accounting system.<br />She smiled at Emily, who was playing a game on the other home-office computer. “They don’t have bar codes on their bums, so you can’t just pick them up at a grocery store.”<br />Tracy’s sister, Maggie, had gone to the hospital early that morning, when her water had broken. The latest update from Maggie’s anxious husband, Jake, at 5:00 p.m., had been that all was progressing well, if a bit slowly.<br />Now, at seven-thirty, ten-year-old Emily’s excitement was stretched thin by the lack of action.<br />“Very funny, Auntie Tracy.” The soon-to-be older sister rolled her eyes. “Do you think Mummy’s having a girl or a boy?”<br />“Hmm.” Tracy pretended to consider the question seriously. “I have a feeling the sproglet is a boy.”<br />Her niece leaned forward eagerly. “Why?”<br />Tracy lowered her voice conspiratorially. “Your mum put sugar in her cup of tea yesterday. They say you need extra sweetness if you’re having a boy.”<br />Emily’s eyes widened. “She also ate a whole bar of Cadbury’s chocolate from her stash.”<br />“Aha.” Tracy snapped her fingers. “That settles it.”<br />“A baby brother would be okay,” Emily mused. “He wouldn’t want any of my things. Plus he’ll like sports. I could teach him to skate and play hockey.”<br />Tracy clipped the invoices together, then slipped them into a folder marked November Bills. She’d allocate them to the appropriate accounts tomorrow. “That would be nice.”<br />“Maybe he’ll even get to play on the Ice Cats like Daddy Jake.”<br />Jake “Bad Boy” Badoletti was a star defenseman for the local professional hockey team, the New Jersey Ice Cats. He and Maggie had gotten together after his transfer from Chicago a few years ago, when Maggie had helped him find a place to live. Though she’d been wary of falling for another pro athlete after escaping an abusive marriage to Emily’s father—an English Premier League soccer player—Jake had eventually won the hearts of both mother and daughter. As well as being an avid fan of her stepfather’s team, Emily had also become a good mites’ hockey player.<br />The child pouted. “It’s not fair that girls can’t play for the Ice Cats.”<br />“You never know. Maybe you’ll be the second woman to play in the NHL.”<br />“But Manon Rhéaume was a goaltender.” Em wrinkled her nose. “I want to be a forward and score lots of goals.”<br />Naturally. Her niece was all about action.<br />The phone rang, startling them both.<br />Tracy’s heart leaped into her throat as she saw Jake’s number. She snatched up the receiver. “Is everything okay?”<br />“Yeah.” He sounded a little befuddled. “We have a boy. Eight pounds, six ounces. Mom and son both doing well. Dad’s not sure he ever wants to go through that again.”<br />“Isn’t that supposed to be Maggie’s line?” Tracy said drily.<br />“She had an epidural. I did the whole thing without anesthetic.”<br />She laughed. “A tough guy like you can’t handle childbirth. I’m shocked.”<br />“I can’t believe, having survived it once with Emily, she’d be willing to do it again.” He paused and Tracy could almost feel his shudder down the phone. “Maggie’s one tough cookie.”<br />“She certainly is.”<br />Despite what she’d been through, Maggie had not only managed to make a fresh start in the US, but she’d also embraced marriage again.<br />Something Tracy couldn’t do after her own disastrous experience. That mess wasn’t something she wanted to think about. Not when there was a new life to celebrate. “So, are you up for visitors?”<br />“Sure. Whenever you can get here. I’ll call my parents next and get them to pass the news to everyone else.”<br />After she’d hung up, Tracy turned to Emily. “A boy,” she said smugly.<br />“You rock, Auntie Tracy.” Emily reached across the back-to-back desks to fist-bump her. “When can we go to see him?”<br />“Right now.” Tracy saved her files, then switched off her computer and stood. “Get your coat and we’ll head over.”<br />Em dashed out of the office. A moment later, she stuck her head back around the door. “Don’t forget the teddy bear.”<br />“I won’t. He’s already in the gift bag by the front door.”<br />The drive to the hospital passed quickly, with Emily chattering like a magpie about her new sibling. As they walked across the parking lot toward the hospital entrance, Emily squealed and darted toward a tall dark-haired man getting out of a black Mercedes SUV.<br />“Uncle Ike!”<br />Tracy’s pulse hitched at the familiar figure of Ice Cats goaltender Eisenhower “Ike” Jelinek.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
Today here at Beyond My Writing Space we're talking fairy tales. I've been swept up in Frozen Fever ever since I saw the Let It Go teaser on Youtube long before the film was released at the cinema. So I asked Emelle Gamble, author of December Wedding, <i>"Which fairytale would you most like to step
into and why?" </i>and I absolutely love her answer!<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span lang="EN-US">Cinderella is the ultimate fairy tale for
me…</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span lang="EN-US">People who thwart your dreams and deny you
what you deserve, a handsome prince who sees you from across the room and knows
you are his one and only, and a good fairy to grant your fondest wish! And good
clothes! What could be better?</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span lang="EN-US">However much I love this fairy tale, I’ve
often thought that Cinderella is a bit old-fashioned. She does have to be
rescued, and it takes a miracle to get what she wants. A friend is working on a
more pro-active, futuristic version of this character, who relies more on hard
work, courage and never giving up to win her Prince.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span lang="EN-US">That’s probably what we modern readers want
in a heroine, pluck and grit instead of glass slippers…but still, wouldn’t we
all love having a fairy godmother for just one night?</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span lang="EN-US">Readers, if you did have one wish, what
would it be? If it was me, a certain Mrs. George Clooney might find her hubby
missing for the evening…</span></blockquote>

<h2>

And throw a secret wedding for her brother Harry. What could go wrong? Read DECEMBER WEDDING, the sequel to DUETS and MOLLY HARPER, and find out if there really is a happy ever after for Molly and Cruz.
<br />
<h2>
A Sneak Peek inside </h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Molly Harper lay beside Cruz Morales
in the darkened bedroom, finally drowsy as the familiar night sounds floated in
on the Santa Barbara breezes. She was on her second set of counting backwards
from 100 to fall asleep, forty-two, forty-one…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Will you marry me, Molly?” Cruz
asked, his voice husky and close.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“No.” She’d said no to him a hundred
times the last year. He told her last Christmas Eve he was going to ask her the
last thing every night for a year before he’d give up. Saying no had been easy.
Though meaning it was getting a little more difficult.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Why not?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“You know why not. I love you too
much to subject you to a wedding.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cruz sighed. “Lame reason, chica. No
one I know would think that’s a good reason.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“They would if they remembered I’m
an actress whose life attracts the press like a tub of honey attracts bees. And
bees sting. You know what a zoo our wedding would turn out to be.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Not if we got married at the
courthouse in Taos, or at your home there. People can get hitched the same day
they get the license in New Mexico. I checked. We could keep it a secret.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“A secret? You know that’s impossible. Someone at the
courthouse would tell their friend, who would call the newspaper or People
Magazine or tweet it to thirty thousand of their closest friends.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Are you sure we’re still
interesting to other people? I think the gossip about us has cooled down.
People seem more interested in royal babies and the Jolie-Pitt clan now.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“That’s true. There were only two
camera crews outside the restaurant where we ate last Friday.” Molly’s brain
reran a few snippets of the last two years, all recorded and available on the
internet. Cruz struggling to recover from the motorcycle accident that nearly
killed him. Her movie star husband leaving her for another woman. Her ex and
the other woman having a baby.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mother’s death.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">All events which were played out on
the front page of newspapers and websites around the world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Please? I’ll put a ring on it
tomorrow if you say yes.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Molly took a rattling breath.
Tonight’s discussion was quite a bit more protracted than the three hundred
plus nights before. “No, thank you. I don’t need you to do anything more to
prove you love me.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the midnight shadows, his
generous mouth softened against the hard curves of his face. “I do love you.
I’ve always loved you. Every single moment since I met you. Even when we were
apart.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Did you, Cruz? Did you really even
love me then?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He touched her nose with his finger
and cleared his throat, which he always did when he recited a favorite poem. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“i carry your heart with me (i carry
it in my heart) i am never without it
(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,
my darling) i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for
beautiful you are my world, my true)”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Molly’s eyes burned. “I melt when
you recite love poetry, Professor Cruz. I hope you don’t do in class; all those
cute girls will be trying to jump your bones.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I only recite for you, chica. I
read e.e. cummings when I was recovering in the hospital. He brought you back
to me.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I'm joined by Naomi Bellina, author of Don't Say No. So what does Naomi do when she's not writing?</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm so glad you asked! Even though I'm not
able to write as much as I'd like, I spend a lot of time thinking about writing
or about things to do with writing. Here are a few ways I occupy my time when
I'm not actually sitting at my keyboard typing furiously. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I eavesdrop on strangers. You know when
you're talking to someone else or on your phone, and someone is nearby, close
enough to hear you, but they look like they're reading or playing on </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">their</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> phone and anyway, polite people
don't listen to other people's conversation, so you ignore them. Yeah, that's
me, and I'm all over that discussion you're having about your sister-in-law's
date with her boss. Gathering material, taking mental notes. Yep.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I get you to tell me juicy stories. If I even get a whiff of an
interesting tale, I'll sweet talk the details right out of you before you know
what happened. When you say "Oh, I really shouldn't talk about that",
it's like catnip to me. I must have it. Don't worry, names are always changed
to protect the innocent, and the guilty too.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I read obsessively whenever I can. Sadly, it's not often enough, but
whenever I'm not driving, working, or doing another chore that requires my full
attention, I find something to peruse. If a cereal box is in front of me while
I chomp breakfast, I read it. Standing in the grocery store checkout line, I'm
thumbing through a magazine. At stop lights, if I'm not busy putting on my
makeup, I've got my phone in my hand, reading something or other.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I try not to get run over by cars. Walking helps me think but sometimes
I get a little too involved in my thoughts and cross the road, totally
oblivious to what's going on around me. Thankfully, I've managed to stay in one
piece so far.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Whenever I can, I go for a ride on the
back of my honey's motorcycle and let the wind whip over me. It's a great place
to be ponder ideas and I've worked out some tricky plot points on that Harley.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I'd like to say I get to spend hours every
day at my keyboard but sadly, I do have to work, shop, cook, clean (not so much
that last one), so I do live a relatively normal life. Sort of. I've made it my
goal to always make the fun choice and seek adventure whenever possible.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Don't Say No</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">.</span><br />

pinched his cheek. He caught her hand and held it. A little zing went up her
arm at the touch. He had a nice, firm grip, and she enjoyed the sensation of
his skin on hers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

her hand away. The zing turned into a tingle

love spas! Even as an employee at several, I've always enjoyed the relaxing,
pampering atmosphere in a place that's designed to be all about feeling good.
This book is a work of fiction and most of the craziness that went on at Bella
Sun doesn't really happen at spas. Mostly. I like to think there's always a
romance or two going on behind the scenes. I've also been a mystery shopper,
though I never received spa treatments on any of my assignments. Some girls
have all the luck!</span></div>

follow your dreams, no matter how many setbacks you encounter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Silicon Valley is home to several large Technology and Pharmaceutical \ Biotech corporations. Chris moved to this area in early 2000. He has been handling data for prestigious companies for well over ten years. His work ethic and morals have kept him employed. During his tenure at a Fortune 100 company, he is offered a position at a small Biotech. It is not too long after taking this new position that he is promoted to Management. The IT Directory who Chris reports to gives him the choice of playing the corporate game or getting fired. Chris must either choose being ethical and getting fired or keeping his job by being unethical. After much thought, he realizes that honesty and integrity have kept him from achieving the American dream. Tired of living paycheck to paycheck he decides to play the corporate game. This decision will not only affect his professional life but his personal life as well.</blockquote>

Enjoy an excerpt:<br />
<br />
From an early age, Chris understood that data was the key to everything. He didn’t need a 9/11 incident to tell him that certain systems needed to talk to each other. He also didn’t need a Wikileaks incident or an NSA leak to tell him that access to any kind of data must be reviewed with scrutiny.<br />

Unable to get ahead of debt and loneliness since her grandmother’s death she
finds a new job, placing the sheltered virgin in an underground escort
business. She tells herself it’s just a temporary life choice, but destiny has
a different plan. She meets a mysterious and gorgeous man, who happens to be

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Lincoln (aka: Linc) Jefferson has an unusual life. He established
The Lounge, an exclusive escort club for very personal reasons. A place where
the women say who, when, and what type of sex they’re willing to have. The
escorts possess all the power and the money. It’s a business Linc guards at all
costs. Trying to maintain the secrecy is a constant challenge and one that’s
tested when he enters into a relationship with Serena. She tempts him unlike
any woman, even though he’s surrounded by beauty on a daily basis. The more
time they spend together the harder it is for him to keep his secrets. Will
Serena stand by his side or will she abandon him?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Guest Post by Heathery Bell</font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Hi everyone!</font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">My name is Ivey Lancaster and I’m happy to be here today. I’m not exactly sure why I’m here or what I’m supposed to do, but when Heatherly asked if I’d dropped by— well, how could I say “no”?</font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">By the way, I may have to run out of here quite suddenly because my Aunt Lucy has a broken leg. You would think she’s lost her leg the way she behaves. She can’t do the simplest of tasks, and I’ve been waiting on her since I got back into town. I’m a midwife by trade, but it’s in my nature to take care of people and fix things. So when Aunt Lucy asked me to come back to town and help her out for a few weeks, I couldn’t say “no”. All right, if I’m being honest it’s just hard for me to say “no” period. </font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">That inability to say “no” to a certain man (my fiancé) got me into a bit of a jam a few years ago. Oh, everything’s okay now. Don’t worry! Well, all right maybe “okay” is overstating things a bit. Aunt Lucy thinks I should tell my ex-fiancé, Jeff Garner, why I left town so suddenly five years ago. Not that I think it’s any of her business what I do, but she has an opinion and I’m usually forced to hear it. </font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">But I really don’t see the point. </font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">You see, I recently went for an interview at the local hospital. They’re trying to bring a midwife program there, so that women in labor have more choice. I think it’s a great idea, but apparently some of the doctors disagree. So while I thought I had the job at the hospital, it turns out the medical director, Lillian, wants me to work with one of the residents to put together an informed opinion the Board can consider next month. No big deal, right? </font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">It is for me. But as mentioned earlier, it’s hard to say “no” when someone needs me, and Lillian does need me. So before I realized what I’d done, my feet had followed her into a conference room to meet the resident I’d be working with. Imagine my shock when I walked into the room to find my ex-fiancé there, like he had every right! Seriously, how am I supposed to work with the man and pretend everything’s fine? You would think Aunt Lucy would have warned me he’d taken a position at the hospital in town, but no! </font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">I didn’t say anything to Lillian then, but tomorrow morning bright and early I’m going to tell her that I can’t do it. It’s too hard to look at him. It hurts too much. He doesn’t know why I left, and that hurts even worse. </font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">But I can’t work with him. Can I?</font></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The Deets...</span><br></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you do when you're not writing?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When
I’m not writing I’m usually traveling with my entourage. We like to hang out
with rock stars and party on rooftops, guzzling expensive drinks. Not to brag
too much, but it’s quite the glamorous life. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My
entourage, also known as my two children (oops, they don’t like to be called
children, even though—let’s face it—that’s what they are) demand a lot of time
and attention. Luckily they’re both cute and funny, but don’t tell them I said
that. It’s always good to keep your entourage guessing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On
our recent trip to a science museum we saw some unusual rocks that were shaped
like stars. And let me tell you, I’ve never seen such crazy rock stars! They were
worn out and rough around the edges, but still a colorful bunch. I could barely
pull my eyes away. The oldest member of my entourage pretended indifference,
but the younger member was impressed. We both agreed those were the wildest
rock stars ever!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Afterwards,
we went to a restaurant on the top floor and ordered fruit smoothies. I don’t
know what kind of fruit they used, but those smoothies weren’t cheap. They
tasted great though, and it was worth it to see the view from the rooftop as we
guzzled our expensive drinks. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

don’t be too envious, like I said, it’s a glamorous life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

always happen when you look your worst? Kate Alexander is wearing gray sweats,
no makeup, and feels as glamorous as a pile of dirty laundry when she runs into
her hunky ex, Ben Mathews. Ben is the only man who’s ever asked her to marry
him. And now still single, and closing in on her thirty-fifth birthday, Kate
suspects her shelf life is nearing its expiration date. Though Ben once broke
her heart she’s convinced fate has brought them together for a second chance at
love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The problem is Declan O’Connor, a sexy Irishman. Kate considers
him a friend—except she’s been having some very un-friend like thoughts about
him. They shared a hot kiss one night, before Ben reentered her life, and now
she can’t stop thinking about it. Despite the attraction with Ben, Kate is
remembering her old resentments all too well. But then Ben asks her to marry
him again, and her second chance has finally arrived. Is this what she really
wants though?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Andrea
Simonne grew up as an army brat and discovered she had a talent for creating
personas at each new school. The most memorable was a surfer chick named
"Ace" who never touched a surf board in her life, but had an

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">After
her mother and her grandmother were killed in a car bomb explosion at the heart
of their sleepy hillside town where nothing extraordinary usually happens, she
discovers that her mother is actually alive and in hiding, her long lost father
is a Father, and her best friend, who turns out was once an Archangel, has
taken a gargantuan step back in his evolution to live on Earth with her for the
past thirteen lifetimes. And besides being the only one in her immediate circle
with a serious case of past life dementia, she learns that during her first
lifetime, she was married to one of the greatest teachers history has ever
known who is now the gorgeous lead singer of a hot new rock band taking the
world by storm, and who is keen to meet up with her again in the twenty first
century.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">As
Ren realizes that the powerful family name she bears also brings with it the
promise of an unnatural death, she is reminded that it has always brought hope
to people on both sides of the veil, human and Tor. As the world draws closer
to being completely shrouded by the dark cloaks of her age-old enemies, the
Bloodstones, she now, more than ever before, has to draw strength from her origins
to protect her family and their ancient truth from this global force responsible
for torturing and killing centuries of her ancestors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">As
she struggles to unearth who she was, who she is, and who she chooses to be, as
well as the expectations of her first mortal love and the heavenly love she has
always guiltily denied, she has until midnight on the Solstice find a way to
bring light to a compromised heart and to a world on the brink of perpetual
darkness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">This
first book in The Rosefire Trilogy by debut YA author, Ky Lehman, is a reminder
of how the choices we make in the throes of love, loss, hope, and adversity are
what makes the divine human, and the human divine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"><span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC; font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;">A sneak peek inside</span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">“Come
on, Renay! You’re as slow as a wet week,” she snaps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">“Right
behind you,” I grumble, trying to coax my jelly legs to step out of the car.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">She
bustles us inside and disarms her house alarm. She grabs my hand, leads me
straight to the navy blue comfy couch and gestures for me to sit. “Drink?” she
asks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">“No,
thanks.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">She
goes to the kitchen and gets me a tall glass of water anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Then
everything goes from strange to downright bizarre when she sits down, squishes
in next to me, puts her arm around my shoulders and rests her cheek on my hair.
I am wedged in-between her and the armrest: I couldn’t move if I tried, and I
honestly don’t want to. Hugs from my one and only aunt are like sunny days in
the winter. They are rare. They are warm. They smell of cream and cinnamon.
They go by too quickly. And you know you’ll have to wait a while for the next
one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">“Look
at me, Renay,” she gently commands. Bleary eyed, she carefully scans my face
and sighs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">It
seems she is already regretting what she is yet to say. A chill of forewarning
forces a shiver: it sets my heart pounding and my legs that have finally
regained feeling start to twitch and shake, preparing to run. She senses my
panic and holds me tighter, and starts to softly hum a familiar tune that Nanna
must have used to calm her down too. Slowly, the dread resides and the warmth
returns. My stiff posture thaws allowing me to slump into her side. Realising
she has been given the green light, she takes a deep breath and starts talking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Aunt
Romey has never been one to beat around the bush. Simple English. No fluff. The
bare facts followed by her opinion of them. But this time, the candour I
usually appreciate brings with it a realisation that hits me so hard, that, for
the first time since the bomb went off, I am relieved the undercooked takeout
chicken kept me home that night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Bedtime

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">All
of the frayed strands and loose ends I’ve obliviously left hanging tangle and
weave into the blood stained tapestry that is Aunt Romey’s history lesson.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Three
versions of the same unfathomable story, each with its own conclusion. The
fairy tale ends in hope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">The

the history lesson will only end with the death of the Three Roses, who my

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Surrounded

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">But
the sinewy little branch is not strong enough to bear the weight of centuries
of lost life. It snaps, and I limply fall into large, familiar, bloodstained
hands that carry me off into the black quiet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Forensic accountant Maggie Martin survives the sudden death of her husband, the charismatic President of Windsor College, only to uncover the secrets of his carefully-concealed double life. Dealing with the financial and emotional wreckage left in Paul’s wake, she is stunned to learn he inherited an estate known as Rosemont in the seemingly-serene Midwestern town of Westbury. Why had he never told her?<br />
<br />
Maggie travels to Westbury for the stated purpose of listing Rosemont for immediate sale, but what she really seeks are answers to her all-consuming questions about her sham of a marriage; her sham of a life. She never anticipated the seductive charm of Rosemont. Throwing her trademark caution to the wind, and over the objections of her opinionated grown children, she pulls up stakes and moves halfway across the country, determined to make a fresh start in Westbury. Behind closed doors, however, lurks a cadre of evildoers, playing with multiple wild cards of fraud, embezzlement and arson.<br />
<br />
With a quiet, orderly – and distinctively solitary – life in mind, Maggie is instead thrown headlong into a crusade against political corruption, where defeat and retreat are not an option. Still bearing the scars of betrayal, will she find joy, romance and possibility in Westbury?<br />
<br />
This fast-paced, smart novel has enough twists and turns to make the reader want to buckle in!</blockquote>
<br />
Enjoy an excerpt:<br />
<br />
<i>“What do you mean, mom? Fresh start? I don’t get it,” Susan finally replied.<br /><br />
“You know how awkward things have been for me with the College crowd. The new President and his wife are headed in a different direction and don’t want me hanging around. I don’t feel like I fit anywhere anymore. Helen is the only friend that I continue to see,” she said. Maggie raised her hand to hush their objections. “You both have your own lives. I need to have mine. I can run my business from anywhere with a phone and a computer.”<br /><br />
“So you’re thinking of moving there?” Susan choked.<br /><br />
“That’s exactly what I’ve decided to do,” Maggie replied with her best attempt at a firm, confident voice.<br /><br />
“But you don’t know anyone there,” Susan protested. <br /><br />
“Won’t you rattle around in that huge house all alone? Won’t that make you feel more alone?” Mike interjected for the first time.<br /><br />
“You know, that’s the part I’m most sure of. That I won’t be lonely in that house. When the front door closed behind me that first night, I knew I was home. I never told you, but I checked out of the hotel and moved into Rosemont the night I arrived,” Maggie said. Mike and Susan exchanged a skeptical glance. “And you know, the most extraordinary thing happened the next morning. I adopted a lost dog. Or more accurately, she adopted me,” Maggie said, and told them about Eve. “So you see, I won’t be alone there,” Maggie finished.<br /><br />
Both children remained silent. Astonished, Maggie thought with a measure of satisfaction.</i><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">So what does Susie Warren get up to when she isn't writing? </span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I’m an administrator in a private,
elementary school for pre-kindergarten through 8<sup>th</sup> grade. I took a
tour of the school fourteen years ago when my oldest child was ready for
pre-school and fell in love with the place. At first, I worked on a few
fundraising projects when my children were young and continued doing freelance
writing. As I became more involved with the school, I was hired as the
financial director. My days are consumed with the busy and hectic task of
managing the daily financial life of the school. Most of the time, I can be
found at my desk crunching numbers and creating spreadsheets. When I’m not, I
interact with the staff and parents or attend meetings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My home life is insane at the moment. I
have three teenagers. After school, I can be found driving to ballet classes or
watching soccer games. My oldest daughter is in her first year of college, my
son is in high school an hour from home and my youngest daughter is in 7<sup>th</sup>
grade at the school where I work. Keeping tabs on my husband can be tricky as
he is an inventor and is often rushing off to an important meeting or seminar.
And finally, I have a beloved aunt who has temporarily moved in with me as she
is undergoing treatment for cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my spare time - when I’m not writing… I
spend time with friends, go for long walks, suffer through Pilates classes, and
finally late into the evening will read whenever I’ve downloaded to my kindle.</div>

Warren writes contemporary romance. Besides being an avid reader, she spends
much of her free time crafting intense and complex stories about falling in
love. When she is not writing, Susie works as an administrator in a small,
independent school while caring for three teenagers and keeping tabs on her
inventor husband. With the launching of her first book, The Forgotten Heiress,
she has slowly begun to navigate the social media realm.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Ruthless Perfection ... The Deets</h2>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A filmmaker wanting to honor her family’s legacy approaches a
reclusive billionaire for help<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Isabel Neri’s innocence captures the attention of a well-known
Italian marble mogul, Marc Santoro, when she approaches him against her
family’s wishes. Wanting to honor her disgraced grandfather, Isabel needs
Marc’s permission to produce a film about the Carrara marble industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Faced with honoring an old family obligation, Marc allows Isabel
to travel to Italy with him but seeks to limit her exposure to his family’s
tragic past. Isabel discovers the untold story and challenges Marc to reveal
the truth. She is forced to expose her own secret as their desire sparks out of
control.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h2>
A Sneak Peek inside </h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Isabel felt a moment of panic as she
watched the driver make a swift exit. She carefully walked up the stone path
that led to the front door, being careful not to catch her black Manolo Blahnik
heels in the stones.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The front door swung open and Isabel
felt the oxygen leave her body. She wasn’t prepared for seeing Marc Santoro in
the flesh again. She could feel his gaze rake over her in appraisal, apparently
sizing her up. He looked every inch the wealthy business owner: he was dressed
in an expertly tailored gray shirt with slightly darker gray trousers that were
pressed to exactness. He was even more striking than she remembered, and she
reminded herself to just breathe and focus on her pitch.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It was his intensity that she
responded to; he seemed to be absorbing everything about her. Isabel hid her
expression as she acknowledged to herself that while he may appreciate her
outward appearance, he wouldn’t appreciate her damaged body.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Would he remember meeting her
before? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">She forced herself to reach out and
offer her hand. As his warm fingers enveloped hers, she felt a spark of
attraction travel through her body. She immediately pulled back, but not before
she saw his eyes darken.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">He merely smiled at her reaction,
saying, “So you are not just a figment of Alberto’s imagination.” Guiding her
inside, he added, “I was beginning to doubt that the old man had any relatives
interested in the marble trade.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Isabel felt her spine stiffen. Was
he questioning her family’s loyalty?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">“My grandfather speaks very highly
of you,” Isabel said as she took in the luxurious setting, trying to get her
bearings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">His voice was cool and didn’t give
her any clue if he welcomed her visit. “It isn’t often that Alberto Neri asks
for a favor.”</span></span></div>

A Sneak Peek inside...</h2>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">She faced him. “Please.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Keep loving them, just the way you
are. They’ll always remember your love.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Her throat went dry as tears misted
in her eyes. “I can do that.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He reached out to run a finger over
her cheek, catching a single teardrop as it escaped. His gaze held hers, dark
and mysterious in the dim light.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Then you’re miles ahead.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jenna stared into Wyatt’s eyes,
splayed her hand over his steady heartbeat. The foyer suddenly seemed cramped.
The air heated. They stood toe-to-toe, so close, she could feel his soft breath
on her skin. His firm fingers circled her arms, drew her closer. He lowered his
head, but neither of them made the next move. Unable to stand the suspense any
longer, she stood on tiptoes to brush her lips over his.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How right this felt. A deep part of
her connected with him on a level she’d never experienced with any other man.
Her heart expanded. For a guy who claimed he didn’t get emotionally involved,
his kisses said otherwise. There wasn’t anything more involved than sharing a
toe-curling kiss.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Gently breaking the connection,
Jenna took a step back, her skin cooling
at the loss of Wyatt’s warmth. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Follow the amazing plus size trio, The Curvies, as they find love,
drama, tears, laughs and a song to match every situation. Bree Carson loves her
life, friends and little town, but something is missing. Taylor Cole returns
home after ten years and old flames reignite. Can he break through Bree’s
walls? This book is the first in a three novella set following the lives of
three curvy best friends: Bree, Elise and Skyla. The first book follows Bree
and her life as she fumbles her way through letting down walls and letting love
in. This novella has a lot of laughs and a little drama and introduces the
readers to the rest of the characters leading into the second book, which
builds up suspense for the third and final installment. These novellas will

Gai is the author of The Curvies series. Living in Victoria Australia. As a
devoted wife and mother of three, when Sarah is not writing she will be found
reading in a quiet corner somewhere or out for coffee with her own real life
Curvies. Being a busy mum she was always trying to find a quick and fun read to
squeeze in and that is when the idea for the three novella set sparked into her
mind. Wanting to write for all the women out there who want a good short read
about strong friendships, romance and body positive, love the skin you're in
kind of fiction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Juggling two jobs to keep her belly dance studio afloat keeps Abby
Anderson’s mind off her shattered love life—until a reawakened pain sends her
into the arms of an anonymous stranger she plucks from the audience of her
tribal belly dance show. No names, no strings, no romance. She tells herself
it’s a harmless hookup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h2>
My Thoughts on Shimmy for Me</h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Temporary newspaper accounts clerk by day, belly dancer by night Abby Anderson is working tirelessly to save her struggling dance studio from closure. She's a single lady with certain, um, needs, that haven't been met for over a year. So tonight, for one night only, she has every intention of finding someone to meet them. Derek Collier has spent the last six years learning his family's business inside out only to have his destiny swept right from underneath him. So tonight, for one night only, he's looking for a much needed distraction. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Abby doesn't expect her one night stand to walk through the door the very next day, as Derek takes his place at the head of the media corporation Abby works at. And then Abby is given the opportunity of a full time permanent position as Derek's Assistant. A pay rise, with a cash lump sum hovering on the horizon, Abby can't turn down the opportunity to save her studio. So prays to god that Derek doesn't recognise her instead,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Shimmy for me</i> is a great novella to snuggle up with on a cold winters night. Abby is likeable insecure girl, who's intelligent, dedicated, and incredibly ambitious. She wears her huge heart on her sleeve, and yet she guards it with her life, not ready to open it to the scrutiny of people who don't understand her desire to dance. Derek is gorgeous, sexy, brooding, not ready to let his family's business go, yet hopeless to stop it being sold, in fact he's the one who has to sell it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Abby's desire to keep her belly dancer's identity a secret leads to Derek becoming almost dismissive of her, abrupt and impolite at best. For me, their interaction in the office let the story down, they had all this chemistry and attraction right at the beginning of the story, but that disappeared the moment they began their working relationship. No watching each other work, nor catching eyes. No non-intentional flirting, nor sharing smiles. Which made it easier to understand why Derek, when he found out his hot fiery belly dancer was right under his nose. He walked away. I wanted to slap him and say '<i>Dude, get your head out of your ass!'</i>. I wanted them to work it out. I wanted them to achieve their happily ever after. But I don't feel like Derek deserved Abbey in the end. Sure he did something to help her save studio. But Abby went to extreme lengths, in spite of humiliation, in order to help save Derek from his predetermined failure. </span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Despite the fact I didn't enjoy the way their romance unfolded, and not feeling satisfied with the overall ending. It pulled me in and kept me there. I cared for the characters. And I did get the smile, and warm fuzzies that they worked it all out in the end. And its for this reason I'm breaking my usual rule of never posting a less than four stars review. There are so many elements which determine the quality of reading experience that had I not found Abby and Derek's story not quite to my tastes - although others may disagree - I would have absolutely given it four stars. Cameron's fluid writing styling allows a seamless slip from real world to fiction world and she makes it easy to stay there right to the very end. I'll definitely be looking out for more from this author!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;">Once-famous singer Anjuli Carver has returned to tiny Heaverlock Village alone and nearly broke. She’s poured every last penny into a rambling Victorian manor, hoping to start over. Trouble is, her money pit is falling to pieces and the only restoration architect for miles is Rob Douglas…her ex-fiancé. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;">For eight years, Rob has regretted not telling Anjuli why he never answered her letters. Being left at the altar broke his heart, but being used for sex one night in London after the fact nearly drove him to the edge of sanity, and he’ll be damned if he allows Anjuli to wreak havoc on his life again. He’ll restore her manor, all right, and give her taste of her own medicine while he’s at it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;">But how long can revenge last when memories of their shared past keep rushing to the surface? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;">Soon, Rob wants answers. Why did Anjuli leave the international spotlight to become a recluse in the Scottish Borderlands? And why does she refuse to sing? Anjuli wants nothing more than to be left alone with her grief, even as she struggles to keep her sexy fantasies about Rob in check. With gossipy villagers, interfering friends and more secrets between them than notes on a scale, Anjuli and Rob will need to find forgiveness in order to work together, then decide if they’re willing to risk it all on an encore performance. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Elise Alden reads, writes and
revels in romance, and is never happier than when caught up in a
heart-thumping, sweat-your-socks-off tale—hers or somebody else’s. She loves
creating stories about flawed characters, people for whom love isn’t simply a
question of boy-meets-girl, but a gut wrenching journey of transformation. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

What are your future ambitions?</h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;">Experience has taught me not to think too much about the future and live in ‘the now’. Recently, I was asked about my ‘five year plan’ to which my mental response was oh hell, I need a five year plan? This question did force me, however, to think about what I want to achieve—which turned out to be quite a lot, and then I was back to oh, hell! Straight away I had a reality check and struck off ‘take over the planet and rule the galaxy’. It’s just not doable within that time frame. I also put a line through backpacking through Cambodia and working as crew on a yacht. Gone are the days when I could go without a comfy bed and great food for more than, oh, one night. So, my best case scenario with regards to future ambitions, would be to write the stories in my head that are that are bursting to be told. I have over forty books planned, but unfortunately I write slowly and I have a plethora of day-to-day commitments. Add to that are two children who want cuddles and kisses (and rightly so) and who sometimes complain when I spend hours in front of my laptop. I am a 24/7 teddy bear. If anybody reading this knows where the Writefast Fairy lives please pop me an email on author@elisealden.com. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;">Pitch Imperfect is about Anjuli Carver, who left the man she loved at the altar to pursue her singing career. There were reasons, of course—I don’t believe someone would do such a thing without it being a last resort—but she’s regretted it ever since. The book is also about the man she left behind, architect Rob Douglas, and how his anger and attraction towards Anjuli collide when she returns eight years later and needs his help. Pitch Imperfect brings together two people who were meant for each other but somehow got lost along the way, and forces them to deal with their pasts so they can embrace the future. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Edwardian Script ITC;">This novel was fun to write, but it was also a very emotional experience. It deals with themes of guilt and atonement, of loss and acceptance. One of the things I love about Pitch Imperfect is its setting—a remote corner of the Scottish Borders. It’s not the highlands, but the verdant, dramatic lowlands near the border with England, and has a very different culture. And hunks in kilts.</span><br />

Pennsylvania. While she’s there, she might figure out how to squash the secrets
gnawing at her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Mitchell Blake and his father keep butting heads about expanding
Blake Glassware, and now Mitch has to deal with his father's consultant, Jaye.
She claims online marketing will boost sales, but Mitch insists broadening
their product line will increase revenue. Arguing with this doe-eyed woman
makes one thing perfectly clear: she has the power to shatter his safe, lonely
life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Jaye’s got four weeks to save his glassblowing factory, but he
detests her marketing plan. She’s got no place to live, but he has an extra
bedroom in his house. She’s got secrets, but living with a glassblower who can
see right through her would be an enormous mistake…or would it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Hot anger blasted out of her
anguish, opening her throat with a sudden surge of adrenaline. “Is this how you
reacted when your mother left? Did you stand on your almighty principles and
condemn her, too? I bet you treated your fiancée the same way.” Jaye clamored
out of the hot tub and landed on the deck. “Your self- righteousness is more
dangerous than that bear.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Clearly, I owe you an apology. I’m
sorry, Mitch. I didn’t tell you how much money I have.” Not caring that she
stood barefoot in cold snow, she spread her arms wide. “Are you happy now?
You’ve been looking for an excuse not to trust me, and you finally found it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He slapped his hands on the edge of
the tub and stood. “Let me guess. You’re walking out in the middle of an
argument. Again.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

me for not showing you my investment portfolio before our first kiss. Call me
crazy, but I don’t like to financially undress until I get to know a guy.” She
ripped her towel off the hook, leaving behind a clump of white thread wiggling
in the cold air. “You did a great job of convicting me before you ever heard my
testimony. If you ever get tired of blowing glass, you should become a
prosecutor.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><i>You’re asking me to…love you?” asked Mia.<br />
He slowly scratched his thick black stubble. “I suppose I am.”</i></b></center>
<br />
<br />
What if you were asked to love the one man on earth you couldn’t trust, you feared, who betrayed you at every turn? Could you do it to save the people you hold dear?<br />
<br />
Mia Turner is ready to give it all—her body, her heart, her soul—to the mysterious, ruthless billionaire who holds all the cards to saving her family. But when this dangerous, sinfully sexy man, simply known as King, demands something more, something horrifying, Mia will be forced to face the impossible truth about their lives. <br />
<br />
<b>Sometimes the truth brings salvation. And sometimes the truth breaks you.</b></blockquote>

Mimi Jean Pamfiloff is a <i>New York Times</i> & <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of Paranormal and Contemporary Romance. Her books have hit the Amazon and B&N top-100 lists multiple times and have been #1 genre sellers around the world. Both traditionally and independently published, Mimi has sold over 500,000 copies since publishing her 1st title in 2012, and she plans to spontaneously combust once she hits the one-million mark. Although she obtained her international MBA and worked for over 15 years in the corporate world, she believes that it’s never too late to come out of the romance-closet and follow your dream.<br />
<br />
When not screaming at her computer or hosting her very inappropriate radio show, (Man Candy on Radioslot.com!), Mimi spends time with her two pirates in training, her loco-for-the-chili-pepper Mexican hubby, and her rat terrier, DJ Princess Snowflake, in the San Francisco Bay Area.<br />
<br />
She continues to hope that her books will inspire a leather pants comeback (for men) and that she might make you laugh when you need it most. <br />
