Book excerpt: A hot next door neighbor romance... The last thing Ophelia Westcott expects when she moves into her new home is to see a drop-dead gorgeous bearded hulk of a man mowing his lawn. She doesn’t have the heart for love or even lust, not after her last boyfriend dumped her. No, she’s here to focus on living a quiet life, working as an online clothing stylist and avoiding men like the hottie next door. It doesn’t matter that her new neighbor is a former Navy SEAL, or that he grows the most beautiful azaleas and looks like he might just be capable of killing a woman with pleasure in bed. Yeah, she’s hands off on this one—no matter how much he tempts her. Colt Henshaw has a thing about women. He loves them, but he can’t trust them with his heart. Not after his ex-fiancée slept with his best friend while he was serving his country. After moving to a small town, fending off the housewives and divorcées on his quiet little street is the only thing he wants to worry about. But one look at the woman who moves in next door has him rethinking his vow of solitude. He can’t help but imagine all the things he would do to her if she belonged to him. Better for him to stick to his fantasies, because the last thing he should do is steal a kiss. Uh-oh . . . it might be too late for that.
Download or read book Drive Here and Devastate Me written by Megan Falley and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megan Falley’s much-anticipated fourth collection of poetry shocks you with its honesty: whether through exacting wit or lush lyrical imagery. It is clear that the author is madly in love, not only with her partner for whom she writes both idiosyncratic and sultry poems for, but in love with language, in love with queerness, in love with the therapeutic process of bankrupting the politics of shame. These poems tackle gun violence, toxic masculinity, LGBTQ* struggles, suicidality, and the oppression of women’s bodies, while maintaining a vivid wildness that the tongue aches to speak aloud. Known best for breathtaking last lines and truths that will bowl you over, Drive Here and Devastate Me will “relinquish you from the possibility of meeting who you could have been, and regretting who you became.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Devastate Me (Savage Vipers MC #2) by Anne Storm Nova I’m not even sure how I ended up working as a nanny for a biker and his wife. That’s not true. I knew. It all started when we found out about my mother’s years-long affair, and the fact that my father was not who we thought. The minute the DNA results came back, my father’s side of the family cut me off and left me destitute like it was my fault my mother was a cheating liar. That meant, I needed to earn money for my next semester. I didn’t realize it also meant being immersed in a whole new world, with a different type of man than I’d ever been around. I knew he was bad for me – not just bad – the worst. He would be the worst kind of man for me and not just because he was a biker. As my mom said when she was found out – “The heart wants what the heart wants.” I should have remembered how sad she sounded when she said that. Breakneck The sweet little honey Kip hired to watch his kid caught my attention immediately. I could smell the innocence on her and all it did was paint a target on her I couldn’t ignore. I’d have her, own her, make her my one and only. She’d just have to come to terms with the fact that I’d never be hers in return. She could have the parts I was willing to give her, but not the whole. I should feel bad about that. That’s what I’ve been told anyway. I don’t. I live the way I want. Always have. Not about to change for anyone. Not. Even. Her. Someone should have warned me that her innocence didn’t mean she wasn’t full of fire and brimstone. My little angel turned she-demon and it changed everything. *This book was a requested story from readers who enjoy reading cheating romance storylines. Devastate Me is 133,110 words in length.

I couldn't put it down.” —New York Times–bestselling author Sandhya Menon Will Tavares is the dream summer fling—he’s fun, affectionate, kind—but just when Ollie thinks he’s found his Happily Ever After, summer vacation ends and Will stops texting Ollie back. Now Ollie is one prince short of his fairytale ending, and to complicate the fairytale further, a family emergency sees Ollie uprooted and enrolled at a new school across the country. Which he minds a little less when he realizes it’s the same school Will goes to...except Ollie finds that the sweet, comfortably queer guy he knew from summer isn’t the same one attending Collinswood High. This Will is a class clown, closeted—and, to be honest, a bit of a jerk. Ollie has no intention of pining after a guy who clearly isn’t ready for a relationship, especially since this new, bro-y jock version of Will seems to go from hot to cold every other week. But then Will starts “coincidentally” popping up in every area of Ollie’s life, from music class to the lunch table, and Ollie finds his resolve weakening. The last time he gave Will his heart, Will handed it back to him trampled and battered. Ollie would have to be an idiot to trust him with it again. Right? Right.

Book excerpt: When he was born in November of 1961, Eli Wheaton is known as a blessing to his mother. But to some, he is a sinful abomination that is not supposed to be--at least not in this manner, at this time. As his sister, Bobbie, witnesses his birth, she has no idea that Satan and his delegates are lurking nearby, watching and waiting. Years later, Eli--now in the second grade--appears on the outside to be like most children of his age. In a family of strong faith, he is his mother's pride and joy, much to the dismay of Bobbie and his other siblings. Filled with what seems to be the spirit of God, Eli references the Bible, acknowledges its power, and uses its wisdom far beyond what is normal for a boy his age. But only Bobbie is aware that Eli is not who he appears to be. As she bears witness to his mission to secretly carry out Satan's deeds, she must search for the strength to expose him and save her family. But as Bobbie straddles the line between faithful and faithless, she fears that nothing may be able to stop Eli from carrying out his murderous rampage. In this compelling thriller, a family's faith in God is tested in ways they never imagined as one of them proves that when it comes to evil, no one is safe.

Book excerpt: THE FIRST BOOK OF THE SURRENDER TRILOGY In her sensational Breathless Trilogy, #1 New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks tested the boundaries of desire. In her new trilogy, there’s only one thing left to do: cross them. And never have the consequences of erotic exploration been so irresistibly inviting, so shockingly intimate, and so totally unexpected… LETTING GO Josslyn found perfection once, and she knows she’ll never find it again. Now widowed, she seeks the one thing her beloved husband couldn’t give her: dominance. Lonely, searching for an outlet for her grief and wanting only a brief taste of the perfection she once enjoyed, she seeks what she’s looking for at an exclusive club that caters to people indulging in their most hedonistic fantasies. She never imagined that what she’d find would be the one man who’s long been a source of comfort—and secret longing. Her husband’s best friend. Dash has lived in an untenable position for years: in love with his best friend’s wife but unwilling to act on that attraction. He’d never betray his best friend. And so he’s waited in the wings, offering Joss unconditional support and comfort as she works past her grief, hoping for the day when he can offer her more. When he finds her in a club devoted to the darker edges of desire, he’s furious because he thinks she has no idea what she’s getting herself into. Until she explains in detail what it is she wants. What she needs. As realization sets in, he is gripped by fierce, unwavering determination. If she wants dominance, he is the only man who will introduce her to that world. He is the only man who will touch her, cherish her…love her. And the only man she’ll ever submit to.

Download or read book Living Against Our Will written by LaNette Shipley and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-02-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each one of us holds tremendous personal and spiritual worth. Yet so many people have never been cherished to the depth of their greatest potential. Within every soul lies a dying ember in search of the light of our existence. We are born and live in the garden of good and evil, separated by our Creator, fighting unseen battles that are impossible to conquer based on our own natural ability. Many of us turn to destructive methods to feed our hungry, searching soul. We strive for encouragement and acceptance, yet sometimes we are met with pain, rejection, discouragement, and injury. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2 NKJV) Written within these pages is the testimony of a determined young woman who refused to accept the harsh reality dealt to her. Through tenacity as a mother, she finally discovered the supernatural transforming power of being reunited with her Creator, and her soul was ignited by the Savior of her destiny. LaNette embraced the wisdom and knowledge held within God-breathed Scripture and internalized the absolute truth. She clearly reveals the generational strongholds and family behavioral patterns that can destroy us, relationships, and squelch our God-given purpose, gifts, and talents.
