Book excerpt: Cassie is fed up with online dating, but just when she’s finally decided to give up, firefighter Jett Bentley takes her on an amazing first date. But when they both go home and find three children dropped in their laps—each—they independently decide to do the right and mature thing: hide the kids from each other while sorting it all out. What could go wrong? Cassie Everson is an expert at escaping bad first dates. And, after years of meeting, greeting, and running from the men who try to woo her, Cassie is almost ready to retire her hopes for a husband—and children—altogether. But fate has other plans, and Cassie’s online dating profile catches the eye of firefighter Jett Bentley. In Jett’s memory, Cassie Everson is the unreachable girl-of-legend from their high school days. Nervously, he messages her, setting off a chain of events that forces a reluctant Cassie back into the dating game. No one is more surprised than Cassie when her first date with Jett is a knockout—but when Cassie finds herself caring for three sisters in an emergency foster placement, she decides to hide them from Jett to avoid scaring him off. When Jett’s sister’s addiction issues land her three children at his home, he decides the last thing Cassie needs to know about is his family drama. Neither dares to tell the other about their unexpected and possibly permanent family members for fear of scaring away their potential soulmate, especially since they both listed "no kids” on their profiles! With six children between them and secrets mounting, can Cassie and Jett find a way forward? Melissa Ferguson’s warmhearted debut reminds us that love can come in very small packages—and that sometimes our best-laid plans aren’t nearly as rewarding and fun as the surprises that come our way.

Book excerpt: Honor, freedom, liberty...those were mere words to Katie Armstrong, a savvy thief and indentured servant on the run in colonial Boston. For the sake of survival, she agreed to a British lord's bribe: unmask the identity of the patriot known as John Smith, or be returned to her brutal master. But soon the cagey John Smith was making the same threat -- unless she spied for him. Katie planned to play both men against each other...until, masquerading as Smith's mistress, she lost her heart to the seductive stranger she had set out to undo. Ethan Harding's steely heart was ready to risk anything to end British tyranny -- even if it meant taking on the false identity of John Smith, putting his own life in jeopardy, or blackmailing a beautiful and terrified young woman. And if that woman's angelic face made other men spill their secrets, so much the better. But now, Katie Armstrong's charms were about to betray his heart and his cause -- and his desire for the elusive temptress would turn the tables on everyone and everything he had pledged to protect.

Book excerpt: "A delightful opposites-attract fake-relationship romance with a decidedly modern flair." —Library Journal Delysia Daniels didn’t intend any of this. Accidentally tagging the wrong person in a slightly racy photo could have happened to anyone. But when the slipup gains her thousands of followers and a much-needed opportunity, she takes full advantage. Fake dating an uptight history professor complete with the proverbial stiff upper lip will raise both their profiles, if she can just get him to agree. Dr. Alexander Abbott-Hill isn’t delusional enough to believe his sudden popularity is due to his fascinating lectures. Agreeing to a high-profile, all-expenses-paid trip across the country isn’t exactly a hardship, although getting along with an online influencer might be. But he doesn’t plan on Delysia. She’s smart, beautiful, and far more…everything…than he’d imagined. Fake relationship aside, neither of them is very good at pretending. Add their instant attraction and undeniable chemistry, and it isn’t long before they realize this fictional relationship is going to change their lives—just not the way they thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ugly events ... are always karmic ... and simple represent life lessons ... unfortunately too difficult to be digested I had times into my life ... when all was collapsing around myself. All ... all ... I could not believe it. I was living ... a non ending nightmare. I was waking up ... and first thing i was doing was to ask myself ... what the hell is going to happen to me again. Bottomline ... it was horrible. And ... i could not stand it anymore. But ... unfortunately... i could not stop those ugly energetic waves around myself. I was meditating ... asking myself ... why?! I was even praying ... saying ... "God ... stop it! Please .... I beg you!". I felt ... annoyed, frustrated ... and even cursed ... but i could not see any way out of this. I was in fact trapped ... into a storm of ugly energies... which were ruining my soul. On ... and on ... and on. So ... i've started to feel that i hate God for what was doing to me ... but i could not accept that all was actually a karmic storm ... having the purpose to remind me of all the stupid things i've done into my past. Today ... i see a friend of mine living such a scenario. He's ... actually... not a real friend... but we have a good connection. I see him .... living a similar scenario with what happened to me. His businesses are collapsing. He has huge legal problems. He even lives with the impression that he is under the observation of the secret services. All his life ... it's a nightmare. But i also know his past and all the stupid things he had been done. Which in fact ... are very similar with the mistakes ... i've done. Today ... he's annoyed, frustrated ... and feel cursed. Same as i've felt. He cannot handle anymore ... And ... i also see at him ... a very weird thing i was thinking too into my tough times. He believes .... he was a good actor on the stage of life ... and even a positive character. Seeing all like a total nonsense... instead of understanding deeper his past ... i believe that ... speaking with the Universe he asks ... "Why are you doing this to me God?! Why?! Why this charade?!" But ... all it's actually a karmic charade. A flux of extremely powerful energies ... looking like ugly events having the only purpose to destroy him. I look at him ... and i smile. I continue listening to him ... and i laugh. And ... you might say that i am a bad person ... laughing of my friend. Or ... that i am even ... evil. But ... i am laughing... not of him .... but of me. Today ... i see in his story ... my own story ... and the way i was playing into those times. I ... somehow ... start to understand the meaning of a karmic storm. And i also understand their whole meaning. Yes .... those powerful ugly energies ... destroy us ... but not the soul, as we might believe. No .... All it's actually destroying ... that ugly character i was interpreting. ... and my friend was interpreting. And ... we hated the Universe for that ... defining the karmic storm ... as a curse. But ... it was a blessing. So ... i continue laughing of my friend ... laughing in fact ... of how idiot i could be. Cause ... i really thought ... the Infinite Intelligence ... lost its compass ... but us the humans were in fact doing that ... consciously and unconsciously .... by such a long, long time.
