Book excerpt: In a world divided into kinetics and inerts, Marlowe Thorne's nothing more than a criminal... Seventeen-year-old petty criminal Marlowe Thorne faces a choice: a custodial sentence in a young offender's institution or a scholarship at Arcane Academy. Seems a no-brainer, except the Academy stands for everything Marlowe despises. Their graduates are the ones who go on to work at the Agency, the body that regulates post-ozone society and the reason she ended up a thief on the streets to begin with. Marlowe's skeptical of the offer—after all, she's almost an inert, so what do kinetics want with her? But thinking anything's better than juvenile hall, she accepts, only to be there less than a week before one of her roommates turns up dead. As Marlowe tries to solve the mystery surrounding her friend's death, the infuriating, arrogant Culhane cautions her to let it go. But is he warning her out of concern...or because he's connected to the dark, deadly conspiracy she's stumbled into? Fans of Elizabeth Hunter and Linsey Hall will thrill to Marlowe Thorne's quest set fifty years in England's future. Scroll up and one-click today to join this questionable heroine in her paranormal academy romance adventure!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the #1 New York Times bestselling author behind the Starz original series The White Queen comes the story of lady-in-waiting Margaret Pole and her unique view of King Henry VIII's stratospheric rise to power in Tudor England. Regarded as yet another threat to the volatile King Henry VII's claim to the throne, Margaret Pole, cousin to Elizabeth of York (known as the White Princess) and daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, is married off to a steady and kind Lancaster supporter--Sir Richard Pole. For his loyalty, Sir Richard is entrusted with the governorship of Wales, but Margaret's contented daily life is changed forever with the arrival of Arthur, the young Prince of Wales, and his beautiful bride, Katherine of Aragon. Margaret soon becomes a trusted advisor and friend to the honeymooning couple, hiding her own royal connections in service to the Tudors. After the sudden death of Prince Arthur, Katherine leaves for London a widow, and fulfills her deathbed promise to her husband by marrying his brother, Henry VIII. Margaret's world is turned upside down by the surprising summons to court, where she becomes the chief lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine. But this charmed life of the wealthiest and "holiest" woman in England lasts only until the rise of Anne Boleyn, and the dramatic deterioration of the Tudor court. Margaret has to choose whether her allegiance is to the increasingly tyrannical king, or to her beloved queen; to the religion she loves or the theology which serves the new masters. Caught between the old world and the new, Margaret Pole has to find her own way as she carries the knowledge of an old curse on all the Tudors"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional rugby player Matt Ogden has spent so much time warming the bench that London Legends supporters voted his bum the hottest in the league. He’s not only fighting for a starter position. He’s fighting a debilitating fear of flying that may ground his career before he can get it off the ground. Maybe he can get some help with that from his best friend, who happens to know a thing or two about flying. Airline pilot Libby Hart has lots of thoughts about Matt’s bum, every one of them naughty. But she’s looking for man to start a family with, one who’ll keep the home fires burning for her, without sacrificing her high-flying career. Matt may be her perfect plus-one and co-parent of their Chihuahua, but he’s not that guy--even though he sets her imagination on fire. There’s always been a spark between them, so when Matt asks Libby for help, they agree the best way to resolve all that built up tension is a vacation from their platonic relationship. Whenever they fly together, they can have sex. So what happens when the pilot and the player find each other too hot to resist? They may not have a future together but these BFFs are tempting fate. Will they crash and burn? Or soar to unimagined heights? “This is one of the best friends-to-lovers books I’ve read in a long time.

Download or read book One Shot at Forever written by Chris Ballard and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One Shot at Forever is powerful, inspirational. . . This isn't merely a book about baseball. It's a book about heart." -- Jeff Pearlman, New York Times bestselling author of Boys Will Be Boys and The Bad Guys Won In 1971, a small-town high school baseball team from rural Illinois, playing with hand-me-down uniforms and peace signs on their hats, defied convention and the odds. Led by an English teacher with no coaching experience, the Macon Ironmen emerged from a field of 370 teams to represent the smallest school in Illinois history to make the state final, a distinction that still stands. There the Ironmen would play against a Chicago powerhouse in a dramatic game that would change their lives forever. In this gripping, cinematic narrative, Chris Ballard tells the story of the team and its coach, Lynn Sweet: a hippie, dreamer, and intellectual who arrived in Macon in 1966, bringing progressive ideas to a town stuck in the Eisenhower era. Beloved by students but not administration, Sweet reluctantly took over the ragtag team, intent on teaching the boys as much about life as baseball. Together they embarked on an improbable postseason run that buoyed a small town in desperate need of something to celebrate. Engaging and poignant, One Shot at Forever is a testament to the power of high school sports to shape the lives of those who play them, and it reminds us that there are few bonds more sacred than that among a coach, a team, and a town. "Macon's run at the title reminds us why sports matter and why sportswriting has such great power to inspire. . . [It's] one hell of a good story, and Ballard has written one hell of a good book." -- Jonathan Eig, Chicago Tribune

Book excerpt: Friday night lights hide more than they reveal… When retired NFL superstar Keller Williams returns to his small town to coach his old high school football team, he’s surprised how much he enjoys being out of the limelight and on the field with the kids. Even more surprising is his immediate attraction to the father of one of his players—single dad Niall Harper. Problem number one: Niall Harper isn’t gay. Problem number two: Keller isn’t out to the world. Problem number three: Niall hates his guts. And Keller has no idea why. High school librarian Niall Harper has always done the right thing. Except be true to himself. Divorced and raising his teenaged son, Niall is dismayed to discover the new football coach is none other than his long-ago Friday night fantasy and nemesis. Not that it matters—Keller doesn’t remember him. It’s nothing new; Niall has always been easy to forget. Now Keller wants to be friends. And more. Niall can’t deny the annoying man makes him laugh and feel things he’d only dreamed possible. But would a player like Keller be satisfied with a regular guy like him? Being together is more than complicated, but they are willing to take the risk. Niall reveals he’s dating his son’s coach, and Keller comes out to the team, his fans, the press, and small-town gossips. Neither is prepared for the fallout, but that doesn’t stop them. It’s time to throw the Hail Mary pass of a lifetime and win the game of forever. And they’re ready.
