The Middle School Rules of Skylar Diggins features Skylar’s defining childhood stories and lessons about growing up in a diverse middle-class family. Young readers will learn how Skylar dealt with bullying, struggled to fit in at school, and figured out how to excel in basketball despite never being the tallest, strongest, or fastest player. Skylar shares personal anecdotes that helped her become the Gatorade National High School Player of the Year and one of the most decorated collegiate basketball players. “She was the most important recruit in the history of our program,” Notre Dame women’s basketball head coach, Muffet McGraw, says. “Skylar was in our own backyard, and we couldn’t let her get away.” Skylar Diggins did not disappoint. A four-time All-American, Skylar finished her career at Notre Dame owning or co-owning 32 game, season, or school records, and earned the distinction as one of just six NCAA Division 1 players to compile 2,000 points, 500 rebounds, 500 assists, and 300 steals in a career. In the WNBA, Skylar, is starting guard for the Dallas Wings, a two-time All Star Starter, WNBA’s 2014 Most Improved Player and Named to WNBA’s 2014 First Team.

These hands have seen too much violence to ever wash them clean. How ironic that I’m afraid of blood. All I want now is a normal life, and I’ve got plenty of cash to make it happen… But I have no clue what “normal” is supposed to look like, and I’m running out of time. The girl whose life I destroyed—the only girl I’ve ever cared for—is the one bright side to my life these days. Maybe that’s why I haven’t put a stop to her desperate campaign for revenge. Or maybe I just like watching my beautiful good-girl-with-a-vengeance try to play bad… MASON For the past ten years, my only goal has been to take down the man who stole my brother’s heart, in the most literal sense, but all my brilliant plans tend to turn out more like bad pranks. When I snag a job at my enemy’s world famous research facility, I’m sure this is the chance I’ve been waiting for. But nothing is as it seems in Rex’s strange world, and I quickly start to question everything I’ve spent the past decade believing. Now my conflicting feelings threaten to unravel everything. Will I finally get my revenge, or will my heart be the next one Rex steals—this time with a kiss? HEART THIEF is an enemies-to-lovers romantic suspense. It is the first book in a series about a team of ex-assassins and their hunt for a normal life while their old one still has them in its clutches. They will keep you at the edge of your seat and grip your emotions as they try to put their scarred past behind them. But they will also catch you laughing in the most inappropriate situations, as situations often are when they include people who know how to kill in a number of ways. Each book in the series will feature a new member of their band of ex-assassins and has a HEA. They can be read as standalones but I promise you won’t want to miss even a second!

In addition to being forced to deal with that reality, he also was a younger brother to the most popular minister in town. Skylar realized that he and he only would need to make the necessary changes in his life to become a different person. So he learned how to fight—sort of. He also learned how to better relate to others as he traveled through life. He became a popular teacher in his adult years. What he didn’t count on was the fact that he would fall deeply in love with a young lady who would unintentionally place his life in jeopardy. She was married to a belligerent man who was possessive of her yet filled with hate toward her and everyone else. What would Skylar do when faced with the option of running away or standing up to the ultimate bully? Would he find the incredible weapon of prayer helpful in this difficult situation?
