Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as she’s been able to sample her fair share of eligible bachelors, Jennifer Corcoran has always preferred to look at her life as being temporarily obtainable rather than single. Born and raised in the Big Apple, she was literally taught to believe that the world was her oyster. That world, however, slowly begins to unravel when she discovers a cascade of wedding invitations awaiting her response from the numerous “friends” she’s cultivated over the years. Unfortunately for Jenna, being invited was never enough. No, each invitation has given her the “option” for the dreaded plus one. Worried about the passive aggression she would be forced to endure should she attend solo, Jenna [with the help of older sister, Julie] cooks up a plan to hire a handsome stranger [appropriately] named Wynn to cover as her arm candy for the season. What begins as a weekend side gig to pay the bills turns into something much greater for the struggling actor, who notices the high-class crowd that Jenna calls her circle. For a guy who’s been trying to hustle his way into a career for years, hobnobbing with the one percent is the gift that keeps on giving. With the pressure mounting to end this charade before it all blows up in her face, Jenna pulls out all the stops in hopes of turning her cordially invited guest into a social pariah. Her actions begging the question: When you’re already paddling in a sea of lies, is one more stroke really gonna kill ya? This is one invitation you’re gonna regret turning down.

Download or read book Third Wheel written by Richard R. Becker and published by Copywrite, Ink.. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las Vegas, 1982. Brady Wilks, a teenage transplant from the Midwest, navigates life in the dusty suburban outskirts of an aberrant 24-hour town built by the Mob. Outcast as a newcomer, Brady forges a brotherly bond with an older teenage neighbor, Mick, and his friend, Brett. But when Brett unexpectedly moves away, Mick invites a new kid into their pack, squeezing out the last remnants of their childhood in favor of a new world laced with cartel-supplied drugs and the deal of a lifetime. Third Wheel is a powerful novel about belonging, betrayal, and breaking away from paths laid out by others, even when it means grasping at an uncertain future. It is the story of a boy trying to find his identity without the benefit of a role model by taking chances on random and fragile relationships forged in the predawn hours of a future boomtown. Desolate and gritty, Third Wheel is a triumphant debut novel, and Brady Wilks is remarkable as a transformative protagonist. Four-time award-winning author Richard R. Becker once again shares his unique insight into the human condition.

An utter delight from start to finish." —Terah Shelton Harris, author of One Summer in Savannah Two strong-willed sisters fight their way to forgiveness in this feel-good Southern fiction, for fans of Terry McMillan and KJ Dell'Antonia's The Chicken Sisters. Rose Tillman and her sister Marvina Nash haven't spoken in decades—not since Rose sent Marvina $40 to register their business, and Marvina used that money for her own personal purposes. Now retired, Rose wants to open the restaurant they'd once dreamed of. But, to her horror, Rose realizes she's forgotten their mother's secret spice mix recipe, known to only one other person in the world. With no other option, Rose embarks on a two-hour drive to Marvina's house back in Fork City, TX. Marvina has her own version of what caused their falling out, and it's a far cry from what Rose recalls. Marvina, skeptical and still indignant, but incurably polite, figures she'll give Rose a chance to speak her piece, before closing the door in her face. As the sisters fight their way to forgiveness, they unpack their complicated past, form an unexpected alliance with a young mother-to-be, and reconnect through the tantalizing aroma of chicken dinners that hold the power to heal—or divide—a community. In a tale rich with Southern charm, Rose and Marvina discover, through fussing, laughter, and tears, that the secret ingredient to a bright future might just be found in facing who they are today—and in forgiving the past to embrace a second chance at sisterhood.
