Book excerpt: In this sweeping second chance romance from debut author Myah Ariel, the unexpected spark of two former flames may force them to choose between their dreams and each other. Kaliya Wilson has paid her dues. But all the years behind the reception desk at a flashy film studio have only pushed her movie-making dreams further out of reach. That is, until a surprise reunion presents an opportunity that could make her career, or break her heart…a second time. It’s been seven years since Kaliya’s whirlwind college romance with Danny Prescott went up in flames. While her passions have stalled, his career is taking off. So when the hot shot director reappears to offer her a job on his next production, it’s a shock to the system. Working with Danny may recapture the intensity of their film school days, but trusting him again won’t come as easily. As the pair allows themselves the openness and vulnerability to entrust their deepest truths to each other, the possibility of a true connection draws ever closer. But when Hollywood politics and scandal threaten to sink the production and her career, Kaliya may have to risk everything to do what’s right—even if it means letting go of the second chance love of a lifetime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a poetic flow of emotions going beyond combatting emotional pain and heartache.

Download or read book From Captive to Captor written by Katie Richards and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, author Katie Richards was on a seemingly never-ending ride of fear, worry, anxiety, doubt, and depression. A journey that, though she hated the destination, she seemed to continuously return to. It wasn’t until she realized the root of her fears, worries, and doubts that she was able to find freedom. She discovered the root of everything with which she struggled stemmed from the words: “What if?” In From Captive to Captor, she narrates a personal testimony of freedom from fear and anxiety as well as presents a strategic battle plan for those who currently find themselves captive. From a perspective of someone who was once helpless and without hope in the battle with fear, this guide is a tool for those who want freedom but have no idea where to begin. From Captive to Captor was born from a place of wanting to provide not only hope to those currently in battle with fear and anxiety, but also the desire to give practical answers of “how to” that sometimes cannot be found. With powerful scriptures, personal testimonies, and counseling techniques combined, Richards offers a light in the darkness and a beacon of hope
