Bloody Reasons: A Western (To Kill A Man Book 1) by Stuart G. Yates

Bounty hunter Gus Ritter is on the trail of his brother’s murderer. He is after more than money; he wants retribution.

After he arrives to the small town of Archangel, death rapidly follows. Soon, Gus finds himself not only fighting for his own life, but also protecting the local preacher and a young girl.

As he makes his way south to confront Dan Hardin – his brother’s killer – the inevitable final showdown in the dusty Mexican pueblo draws closer. But who will come out alive?

Illumination Night: A Novel by Alice Hoffman

Elizabeth Renny has only made two decisions of consequence in her seventy-plus years. While the first, marrying her husband, had adequate results, the second—deciding she could fly from her bedroom window—is less successful. But her flight sets in motion a series of events that will forever change the lives of six residents of Martha’s Vineyard: a young boy who refuses to grow, a wife stifled by her irrational anxiety, a husband tempted by the unknown, a girl flirting with disaster, a gentle giant tortured by his size, and an old woman with nothing to lose.

Praised as “an intelligent novel” by the New York Times and “achingly vivid” by Newsday, Illumination Night is a sparkling and heartbreaking narrative that explores marriage, friendship, youth, yearning, disillusionment, and desire, a book as bright and memorable as the festival of lanterns for which it is named.

Dirty Deeds by Armand Rosamilia

I get paid to erase problems.

Did your extramarital affair produce an unwanted complication? Family problems? Just want to enjoy your midlife crisis by yourself?

That’s where I come in. For a fee I’ll take care of it. A big fee.

Only, I’m not going to do what you think. I’m not going to save you from them, I’m going to save them from you.

After Happily Ever Afterby Leslie A. Rasmussen

“A soon-to-be empty nester learning to love herself one blunder at a time. After Happily Ever After is delightful….”
—Foreword Reviews

Maggie Dolin is forty-five and isn’t dealing with getting older very well. Seventeen years ago, she gave up her job in publishing to raise her daughter, Gia—but now her only child is about to leave for college, and Maggie isn’t sure what her new purpose will be. She’s been the caretaker and nurturer for so long that she can’t even remember the last time someone took care of her. She wishes Jim, her husband of nineteen years, would take that role on—but he’s been distracted and disconnected, and she’s convinced he’s hiding something from her. Her self-involved, judgmental mother and resentful brother, meanwhile, are certainly no help, and her father—the only person in her life who’s always been there for her and asked nothing in return—is dealing with increasingly serious health issues, leaving Maggie without her rock.

As all these stressors pile on, a chance meeting with a younger man causes Maggie to act in a way that is completely out of character for her. As she gets deeper in, she’s forced to make some big decisions about what she wants and deserves—decisions that could change her life forever.

After Happily Ever After deals with love, marriage, family, the empty nest, aging parents and what happens when they all come crashing down at the same time.

Fake It For Moneyby Weston Parker

She’s willing to fake it for money.

Just my type of lady. But this isn’t just one night.

I need twelve dates for a series of Christmas parties to promote my hotels.

Being a forever bachelor means that I don’t have time for love or the games it plays.

A fake date from an agency should solve my problems nicely.

Not only is she stunning and everything I would choose if someone gave me a checklist, but she’s studying to become a surgeon.

I’d gladly let her play doctor on me. *wink*

But this job isn’t an easy one. I need the world to believe this girl is my soul mate.

My billion-dollar resorts all rest on one thing—romance.

So we gotta go in hot and heavy, like heaven and hell couldn’t separate the love between us.

I’ve got the money if she’s got the skills.

Now I just need to NOT fall in love.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
