Scarlett Cole takes you apart and puts you back together again." ~ Carly Phillips, NY Times Bestselling Author Matt Loving Izabel Bryson should be the easiest thing in the world. Heck, she’s been the inspiration for at least half a dozen of the songs he’s written for his rock band, Sad Fridays. He’s loved her for a decade. But she’s his best friend and fellow-band mate’s little sister, and he promised a decade ago that he’d never put his hands on her. She can never be his, no matter how much he craves her. Izabel Loving Matt Palmer is the most hopeless thing in the world. The hours she spends working at the Manchester homeless shelter only go so far in distracting her from the painful truth. He doesn’t want her. Because she screwed up that awful night two years before when she slept with Matt’s brother. He will never be hers, no matter how much she yearns for him. When a good deed leads to one bed, and one night of ruthless honesty, everything is laid bare. They belong together, but acting on it will cost them everything.

As they battle hunger, thirst, and loneliness, and traverse the rugged terrain, their paths begin to intersect, and it soon becomes clear that surviving the elements may be the least of their concerns. Hikers are dying along the trail, their broken bodies splayed on the rocks below. Are these falls accidental, the result of carelessness, or is something more sinister at work?

Robbie Whitcomb is five years old when he’s taken from his mother in a mall parking lot. In her attempt to chase the kidnapper, she’s left badly injured and permanently disfigured. Such are the methods of the man who calls himself Daddy Love—a man known to the rest of the world as charismatic preacher Chester Cash. For the next six years, Robbie is to be Daddy’s son. That means doing whatever Daddy says—and giving him whatever he wants. Soon Robbie learns to accept his new name, Gideon. He also learns that he is not the first of Daddy Love’s sons. And that each of the others, after reaching a certain age, was never seen again. As Robbie’s mother recovers from her wounds, her life and marriage are a daily struggle. But as years go by, she maintains a flicker of hope that her son is still alive. Meanwhile, Robbie approaches the “bittersweet age” with no illusions about his fate. But somewhere within this tortured child lies a spark of rebellion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Fayja is shot it leaves everyone speechless and brings secrets face to face with one another. Hearts are racing and bloody moves have to be made. Who do you go after when you don’t know the face behind the shooter? Or do you simply go after any and everyone who you feel has something to do with it? In Pharaoh’s case, the latter of the two is always the way to go, as long as you move smart about it. Pharaoh is either going to get some answers or everyone in the streets is going to have to feel his wrath. Making the city bleed is something he hasn’t had to do in a while as the boss of the streets, but now he feels as if his hand has been forced and he won’t sleep until he has the shooter’s head on a silver platter. When a ghost from the past pops up with a vendetta and dirty secrets are revealed, things are only bound to be turned upside down and a helping hand will be needed more than ever. But who can you turn to for help when you don’t know who to trust? The only thing Fayja’s son wants to be able to do is welcome her home. With his own problems brewing, he finds himself tripping off the one person he knows he’s forbidden to be with. Traumatized by the effects of living a life in the streets, everyone has no choice but to choose their destiny and the route they truly want to take. The only thing is, will they be on a road trip to love or destruction? Love may not be meant for a thug, but is it meant for a Boss?
Download or read book F ckface written by Leah Hampton and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of 2020 by Slate, Electric Literature, and PopMatters F*ckface is a brassy, bighearted debut collection of twelve short stories about rurality, corpses, honeybee collapse, and illicit sex in post-coal Appalachia. The twelve stories in this knockout collection—some comedic, some tragic, many both at once—examine the interdependence between rural denizens and their environment. A young girl, desperate for a way out of her small town, finds support in an unlikely place. A ranger working along the Blue Ridge Parkway realizes that the dark side of the job, the all too frequent discovery of dead bodies, has taken its toll on her. Haunted by his past, and his future, a tech sergeant reluctantly spends a night with his estranged parents before being deployed to Afghanistan. Nearing fifty and facing new medical problems, a woman wonders if her short stint at the local chemical plant is to blame. A woman takes her husband’s research partner on a day trip to her favorite place on earth, Dollywood, and briefly imagines a different life. In the vein of Bonnie Jo Campbell and Lee Smith, Leah Hampton writes poignantly and honestly about a legendary place that’s rapidly changing. She takes us deep inside the lives of the women and men of Appalachia while navigating the realities of modern life with wit, bite, and heart.
Download or read book Her Last Words written by Kim Kelly and published by Brio Books Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A murder. A missing manuscript. An undying love. Thisbe Chisholm wants to be a writer. It's 2007, a time of digital revolution and skyrocketing property prices, but she's an old-fashioned girl. She doesn't even own a mobile phone. She has no stars-in-her-eyes desire for fame, to see her name on the cover of a book, either. She longs only to tell of the stories written on her heart. While her best friends, Penny and Jane, and her darling boyfriend, John, seem set for stellar careers in their chosen fields, Thisbe works nights as a hostess at a glitzy harbourside Sydney club - a job she despises but it's paid the rent for the last three years since university graduation. Just as she completes her novel, though, she is brutally killed at the end of John's street. Who murdered Thisbe? What will become of her novel? From the gritty glamour of Bondi Beach to the cold streets of London, here is a tale of tragedy and literary betrayal, of a publishing industry grappling with change and a great love drowning in guilt-wracked grief. Haunting, whimsical and sharply observed, Her Last Words lays bare the truth that, while some crimes might go unpunished among the privileged, words themselves have a way of enduring - and exacting a justice all their own.

Download or read book In Love With A Certified Street King 3 written by Dejah Rice and published by Sullivan Group Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Fayja got shot, she thought life was over for her, but she quickly learned that her problems were only truly beginning. Even though her problems were only beginning her love life was too. Pharaoh proved to be everything she wanted plus more. She never would have expected him to end up hurting her... until he did. Learning the truth about her son working for her lover was a hard pill to swallow. Now the only thing left to do is watch the aftermath of love making an ugly but beautiful turn. Pharaoh finds himself faced with the decision of choosing love or money. Usually that wouldn’t be a big deal to him, but when it comes to the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, things are a lot more complicated. Pharaoh has never been the one to feel like anyone owes him anything, but things are different with Fayja. He can’t help but to feel like she owes him a fair shot at her love. Walking away isn’t an option and he’ll stop at nothing to get just one more chance with her. Love may not have been meant for a thug or boss, but it was definitely meant for a certified street king. While the only thing Fayja and Pharaoh may be focused on is their love, Klue is focused on more serious things. Money has been the motive for him, and everyone knows money is the root of all evil. Klue finds himself at the center of something that is way bigger than he anticipated. The options he is given are slim to none, and he’s either going to have to kill or possibly be killed. The decisions he makes in the end could be the difference between life or death for him and those closest to him, and death never likes to be cheated.
