Its a Wonderful Life meets Wish Upon A Star in this Christmas-themed young adult contemporary romance.

When Graham wakes up the next morning, everything has changed, and hes the one whos been dating Sarah for the past two years, not his best friend. Graham assumes the wish would have only come true if he and Sarah were meant to be together, but as it becomes clear that he and Sarah bring out the worst in each other, not the best, and as he starts to fall for the new girl in town, Graham wonders if some wishes come true in order to show us whats not meant to be.

Deep, funny, and real—this holiday romance will completely warm your heart and remind you that not all wishes should come true.” — Nova McBee, author of the Calculated Series

SNEAK PEEKS:

TEMPTED by Carina Alyce

You are a professional,” ER Clerk Cassie Odon reminded herself, wheeling her computer through the MetroGen ER. The wee morning hours of Thursday night shifts in the minor care pod were supposed to be slow.

The triage nurse at the front door was having a ball because her triage reasons became more outlandish as the night wore on.

Seriously, why were Fabio and Glen sharing a room? And what did get checked out” mean? They couldnt be too sick if they were in the minor care pod and not one of the two standard care pods. At nineteen and twenty-eight years old, they shouldnt have been taking a ton of meds.

STD testing, perhaps?

No, the triage nursed have written personal concern w/testingon that.

Object in the butt? While everyone said they fell on it,it usually appeared as OITB.

Drunken sex accident? Ideally, they werent drunk. Drunk guys, regardless of their orientation, were obnoxious when she had to file their insurance.

She opened the door to Room 78 and understood triages note.

There sat two shirtless firefighters getting checked out.Even better, she recognized one of them, who had been similarly naked during their last conversation.

And he looked fabulous naked . . .

BRAVE ENOUGH TO LOVE by EmKay Connor

Complete and total silence settled over the jewelry store. Donald peered from behind the counter. Mr. and Mrs. Park huddled together, wide-eyed with terror. Mikey stared down his arm, past his gun, to the damp red stain spreading over one side of my shirt. I struggled to breathe, paralyzed by disbelief and shock.

Thirteen years on the job without more than a black eye, dislocated shoulder, and concussion. Now, I was shot.

Katie.

My thoughts flew to my wife, waiting for me in Dr. Hardings office, assuming the worst about my absence. If the building was being evacuated and she saw the S.W.A.T. ARV, would she try to check on me? Find out what was going on?

The thought of my wife learning I was one of the hostages and waiting to see if Id make it out alive made me want to vomit.

MOVES #Blitz

 

 

Mystery, Crime, Thriller

Date Published: 7/7/16



In the blink of an eye, Robert Jake’s perfect life became hell.

Jake, a radio talk show host with a pregnant wife, had the perfect life until, in a moment of “Patriotic Stupidity” he decided to stop talking for a living and start shooting to help his country.

Deployed to Iraq, he barely made it home alive, shot-up and full of shrapnel, after a fatal ambush.

Moves is a mixture of single parent meets thriller, action, and suspense in bucket loads. If you like intrigue, plots with twists and turns, a little bit of romance and a story that keeps you holding your breath until the very last page; read on. Moves is a chess game of a page turner, where each chapter keeps you trying to outguess the killer.

We encounter Robert Jakes story, and the stories of those around him, at several points as flashbacks and therapy start to fill in aspects of his past. Jakes suffers with memory loss, bouts of depression and anger caused through PTSD. During an ambush 18 soldiers under his command lost their lives. His wife having died of breast cancer forces him to be a single parent to Rose, his young daughter, whom he loves deeply. She has inherited a little of both her parents, mom's DNA and his love for flying. He will do anything to protect her. Not understanding why, his life suddenly becomes complicated when the murders of the Dallas District Attorney and two innocent women seem to be connected to him. He gets help from a colleague to help join the dots as his life tumbles out of control.

Jakes life is now embroiled with murder attempts, not only on himself, but on the important people in his life. He has to dig in deep to keep himself balanced while trying to figure out, what the hell is going on.



About the Author

After many successful years in the broadcasting world, working as a sought-after radio personality, John Michaels was prompted into a writing career by a casual remark over a meal in a restaurant.

John’s former girlfriend gets credit for putting the writing bug in his head. They were having lunch and she was reading the first part of a memoir he had written. She reached over and stopped his fork midway between food and mouth and said, “This is terrific.” Five minutes later, she kept another fork from reaching its destination with, “You should write a novel. Make it a crime novel. It’ll be good.”

His first novel, ‘Moves’ was just that, a fast-moving thriller. However, it took him 12 years to finish, but he had really good excuses.

When he began to write, there were huge amounts of time when he had no time. Throat cancer surgery and subsequent radiation capped off with a subdural hematoma wiped out an entire year. Months were spent learning how to put a book together. Reading Steven King’s ‘On Writing’ helped.

John has had a love of the science fiction genre which he got into at the age of 10. He is following his passion for reading and taking it into writing, He is already working on his second novel which will be a sci-fi.

As a reader, his favorite Sci-Fi authors are Robert Heinlein, Philip K Dick, Issac Asimov, Carl Sagan, Arthur C Clarke, Ray Bradbury and a lot more.

Away from sci-fi, he loves Elizabeth Kolbert, Lee Child, Barry Eisler, Michael Connelly, John Sandford, Walter Isaacson and a hundred other talented women and men who offer you an escape into whatever world they have created.

Rumpled Rhett by Rachel Rossano #Blitz

 

Rumpled Rhett
Rachel Rossano
(Once Upon a Duchy, #3)
Publication date: August 31st 2021
Genres: Fairy Tales, Fantasy, Romance

Rhett is a Huntsman, skilled, secretive, and mysterious. A wanted man, he spends his life on the move. His sole retreat is the outskirts of an isolated village in the northern reaches of the duchies. Then one fall, he arrives to find his hovel burned to the ground and the village reeve offering a new arrangement.

Catherine knows her father, the village miller, only cares about what she can bring him. The latest scheme of marrying her to the Huntsman is not the millers first attempt to sell her. Cats dread wanes when she meets the Huntsman. There is something honorable about him, and he treats her with respect, unlike her father or brother. Perhaps she can escape her fathers influence forever.

Despite his suspicions, Rhett agrees to the deal and frees Cat from her fathers tyranny, at least for a time. But can he protect her when enemies from his past catch up to him?

Inspired by Rumpelstiltskin.

EXCERPT:

Rhett

Ah, the nomad returns!” Duggan raised a half-filled beer mug to take a swig. A rotund man, the reeves belly sagged over his belt as he got to his feet.

The few other patrons warily quaffed the last of their drinks and made their way to the door. All of them avoided even glancing my way. I didnt care. I had business with the man before me, not them.

My house burned down.” Crossing my arms over my chest, I narrowed my gaze on Duggans flushed features.

It went up in flames one night.” Duggan huffed out a dramatic sigh before draining the last of his beer. We tried to stop the blaze, but—” He shrugged one of his plump shoulders beneath his fur-lined robe.

We had an agreement. I protect the village, and in exchange, I get land and its tending while I am away.” I let the facts and my glowering silence sink through his thick skull.

He owed me. The village owed me. My reputation as the Huntsman kept most thieves and bandits from targeting the community. Only the foolish and foolhardy occasionally attempted to harass me, but I swiftly enlightened them.

In return, I had requested only two things. I wished to live at peace for a few months every winter, and I needed someone to guard my shelter when I was gone the rest of the year.

We tried to save it,” he protested mildly.

And didnt bother to rebuild it,” I pointed out. Frost-tipped grass had peeked through the ash heaps. Months had passed since the fire by the looks of things.

We considered it.” His voice was even and calm, but he continued to avoid looking at me. But we needed the wood to expand the mill and—”

The tavern.”

We had none left to rebuild your house as well. So, we decided to work out a better situation.”

I let my silence speak for me. I had been content with my situation. It suited me well.

True, I hadnt been particularly fond of the hovel I had been allotted, but it had been enough. I valued its attributes: warmth, isolation on the edge of the village, and comfort enough for my winterly retreat from my reputation.

Come, let me show you.” He motioned toward the square outside.

No.” He had planned this for all I knew, and the villages enforcers awaited me beyond the expensive new tavern windows. First, you explain.”

Duggan pursed his mouth like a spoiled child who had just been reprimanded by his mother.

Explain.”

We all discussed it…asked ourselves what a man needs…decided there were a few ways to improve things…”

I cleared my throat.

So, we took it upon ourselves to—”

The point?” My voice lowered and warned of my waning patience.

We have chosen to give you land, a house, and a wife.” Duggan turned and banged his mug on the bar top. Another!” he bellowed.

A wife?” I stared at him in complete confusion. How did you come to the conclusion that I needed a wife?”

A house without a wife is empty.”

Exactly how I like it, I thought. But Duggan continued.

She can cook for you, clean for you, and fill the house with comforts that make it a home. There is nothing like coming home to a warm meal on the table, hot mulled wine in ones cup, and the pleasures of a womans company to keep one content.”

The image in my head was much less appealing—chatter, demands for expensive accouterments, expectations of me being home on time, and…children. My mind caught on the last thought. I did need children to carry on my family name and the traditions of the huntsman. Distant memories of my mothers stories impressing upon me the importance of my fathers lineage and the bloodline I carried pressed in on me. Shaking free from their hold, I grimaced. That didnt mean I had to do it now or even ever.

Dont discount it until you have tried it, Huntsman. A womans touch is what you need.”

No. I need a secure place to rest.”

Duggan shouted his approval. A house, a wife, some land, it is about time you settled down.”

I have no intention of…”

Duggan was already out the tavern door and yelling to someone across the village square. Master Billier! The Huntsman has returned. Bring your daughter to the meeting house.”

My lip curled of its own accord. Billier was the town miller, and fat, thanks to his position running the only mill for miles around. That didnt stop the man from being despicable. I avoided him when I could and wrestled my temper and conscience every time I couldnt. I wanted nothing to do with any scheme in which he was involved. Last year he had claimed that his daughter could spin straw into gold in an effort to sell her off to a traveling nobleman. I wouldnt entrust any living thing into his care, not even a cat, and I cherished no love for the furry creatures, thanks to their effect on my eyes and nose.

Duggan beckoned from outside. Come, Huntsman. Billier fetches his daughter to the meeting house. Shes as fair and biddable a lass as any other.”

A woman was far less deserving of Billiers care than a cat. I decided to allow the farce to continue a bit longer, the better to understand their intentions. Surreptitiously checking my access to my weapons, I followed the reeve in the direction of the dark meeting hall.

As Duggan rushed about lighting a fire in the hearth and a few of the lanterns against the walls, I staked out the corner farthest from the door. The reeve had only lit the corner nearest the door before it opened to admit the greasy-haired miller and his daughter.

She was small. Petite and barely a handful of feet high, she could fit beneath one of my arms, and I could carry her off without much effort. Not that I would. However, there was a dignity, a solidness to her tiny frame that made her father keep his distance despite his evident eagerness to sell her assets.

She cooks, cleans, and keeps house well enough for a girl. Has a fair enough figure, so I am told. Come on, girl, show off your wares.” Billier shoved his daughter forward so that she stumbled.

Only a brief glare in her fathers direction betrayed her anger. Still, she obeyed. Back straight and shoulders tight, she walked with confidence despite a slight limp. Perhaps she had an injured hip, knee…no. I watched for a few more steps. Something was wrong with her foot, and walking on it pained her, causing a slight hitch in her breathing. Her betrayal of the weakness was so minute that I had almost missed it.

My attention swung to her father. Had he injured her? It would fit his malicious personality. What he could not bully, he humiliated. One look at his daughters tightly wound body, and it was easy to imagine him pressuring her to do something solely for his benefit. But what was he getting out of her marrying me?

Leave,” I demanded.

What? If she doesnt please you—” Billier sputtered.

You two.” I jerked my chin at the two men. Leave.”

Come.” Duggan caught Billiers arm. Best let him talk to her.”

Billiers glare at his daughter intensified as the reeve guided him toward the door outside. You mess this up, girl, and—” Whatever he intended went unsaid as Duggan closed the door behind the two of them with a sharp tug.

The girl relaxed infinitesimally. However, she also eyed me warily and oriented herself to duck behind a table should I become more clearly dangerous.

What is your name?” I asked. I hadnt seen her about the village before, but then I rarely spent any time in the village.

Catherine, but everyone calls me Cat.”

I laughed. It came out as a rusty sound, as though I didnt do it often, which I didnt.

Her eyes narrowed. My name isnt funny.”

No, but the irony is.” Then I realized by her blank expression that I would need to explain. Cats make me sick, the four-legged variety that is.”

She didnt smile. Instead, she simply nodded. Then it is good I am not that kind of cat.”

It is.”

Silence descended between us. Faintly through the door behind her, we could hear her father raging. My concern for Cats safety grew. I didnt think Billier was capable of murder, but one never could tell by looking at a person. Also, accidental murders happened, like beating someone to death in a fit of rage.

Glitter & Greed by Melanie Munton #Blitz

 

Glitter & Greed
Melanie Munton
(Brooklyn Brothers, #4)
Publication date: August 31st 2021
Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense

We are the Rossettis.

The exiled sixth family” of the New York mafia. Were the good guys.

People dont fear us…much. They respect us.

The five of us? Were the Brooklyn Brothers.

And we protect whats ours.

Dont ask me what made this girl different, what made her stand out. Im not proud of it, but it wasnt exactly my first ever lap dance. The last thing I expect is for the same woman Ive been obsessing over for two months to waltz right into my gym.

Catalina Cat” Vasquez is the most alluring, sensual woman Ive ever met. She has secrets, and I want all of them. Its the only way I can protect her. Because it seems Im not the only one whos been looking for her.

Just my luck that I would fall for a woman who has connections with the Mexican cartel. Who would have thought her stalker would be the same man whos about to wage an all-out war on my turf?

Im a fighter by nature.

I fight for whats mine.

And Im not about to lose to someone who wants to steal Cat away from me.

If he thinks his guns will save him from my fists, he came to the wrong city.

Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo

EXCERPT:

Cat hadnt seen me sitting at the bar yet, and I had no clue what to expect when she eventually did. I had no say in anything she did with her life, so shed have every right to have my ass kicked out of that club. There had only ever been one outcome by showing up there.

That Id be one step closer to insanity.

An arm belonging to one of the rowdy drunks near the stage suddenly shot out and wrapped around Cats middle. She had to quickly balance her tray of empty glasses when he roughly yanked her onto his suited lap.

I immediately looked toward the security guys standing near the entrance, but the two bouncers were trying to break up a heated altercation between two customers and were distracted by their shouting to pay attention to her. There was a no touching rule at this club, even if it wasnt always strictly enforced. If they threw out every single guy that patted one of the girls on the ass, they wouldnt have any customers left.

This was a whole lot of goddamn touching.

Cat tried to push to her feet, but he pulled her right back down. It was the first time Id ever seen her smile waver with uncertainty. She normally wore a mask of indifference—or numbness—when she worked at Rumors. It was like nothing got to her. Nothing made her wobble.

This motherfucker was bothering her.

You could see it stamped all over her face. The way her mouth tightened, her shoulders stiffened. She was gripping her tray like she was seconds away from whacking him over the head with it.

Id had enough. The dumbass was lucky Id restrained this much and hadnt already dropped him.

Downing the rest of my beer in two gulps, I slammed the glass onto the bar and moved in their direction. Even the nearly obliterated guys who were a few sips away from passing out on the floor got out of my way. They knew by the look on my face not to fuck with me. I was still several feet away when Cats head jerked in my direction, as if she sensed my presence.

Her eyes widened in fear.

The action irritated me. The last thing I wanted was for her to be afraid of me. But then I realized…

She was afraid for him.

Shed already seen me in action. She knew what kind of damage I could inflict.

I came to a stop right next to the son of a bitch in the rumpled suit. His four buddies around the table were just as sloshed as he was but all shrank back in their seats at the sight of me. His hand still had a firm grasp on Cats waist as his glazed eyes slowly ticked up to me.

The next dance is mine,” I grated in a menacingly low voice.

He glared through half-lidded eyes. Oh, yeah? You already pay for it?”

He reached into his pocket and threw down a one-hundred-dollar bill.

I snorted in both disbelief and fury.

Did he really think that was all she was worth? A measly hundred bucks? As padded as my bank account had gotten over the last year, Id never possess enough money for what she was worth. Her value went beyond money anyway. To reduce her to a dollar sign was fucking insulting.

I pulled out my entire money clip and threw it on top of his bill. It was thick and heavy, and all you could see were hundreds.

His eyes widened. He swallowed nervously.

Yeah, motherfucker. And Ill keep going.

Hell, Id bankrupt the asshole before I let him think he could ever have a moment of Cats time. In fact, he had approximately three more seconds to get his fucking hands off. And that was me being generous.

Luka Rossetti was not fucking generous.

Carolina is on loan to us for your assessment.” She doesnt say from where. Even though Natalie told me the next stage of the hiring process was a psychological assessment, the words put me on edge. My stomach swirls with nerves.

Sparkles!” someone yells as we pass an office. It sounded like Mark. Ive only met him once, but Id recognize his voice anywhere.

Natalie turns to me. Sorry. The boss needs me,” she says. My office is the next one. Carolina is waiting there for you.”

Thanks, Natalie.” I continue to her office. When I get there, I raise my hand to knock, but pause, enjoying the view.

Carolina is nothing like I imagined. She looks at her phone, completely unaware Im watching her. I should probably knock but pause to enjoy the view a little longer instead. Her long black hair is pulled up and I find myself wondering what it looks like when its not tied up.

I clear my throat and she looks at me with the most beautiful dark eyes Ive ever seen. I introduce myself and offer her my hand. She stands to greet me.

Nice to meet you, Duncan,” she says, and I detect a subtle Spanish accent that cuts straight to my heart. Keep it together, Duncan. Youre a professional. Here for the job, thats it. I let out a quick breath to remind myself I need to stay at the top of my game if Im going to pass this assessment. Getting this job will be a major step in moving on with my life. No one can know what happened in Cartagena.

Carolina starts the assessment by asking if I know what its all about. Natalie mentioned what happened with a couple former employees and I know they want to make sure Im not going to lose it like those two. Delta Force was no walk in the park. Ive seen a lot of shit and lost a lot of friends. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is all too common in the military.

I explain that Ive seen a therapist in the past and believe my symptoms have completely resolved. I keep the reason for the PTSD general. Theres no way Im telling her it was because of what happened in Cartagena.

All right,” she says and puts on a pair of dark-rimmed glasses. When she looks up from her notepad, I get a strong sexy librarian vibe. Whats wrong with me? I need to focus if Im going to pass this assessment. Lets get started,” she says.

I fold my hands in front of me and hang on her every word. My answers are short and to the point. I keep her talking as long as possible so I can enjoy that sultry accent.

When she finishes the verbal assessment, she hands me a two-page self-assessment and asks me to fill it out. She offers me her pen and I grab it close enough to her hand that I skim one of her fingers as I take it. The pen is warm from her touch and I let the heat soak into my hand as I write. Get a grip, Duncan, get a grip.

Vic Vaughn is Vicious by J.A. Huss #Blitz

 

Vic Vaughn is Vicious
J.A. Huss
Publication date: August 31st 2021
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

My name is Vicious. God-given name, I cross my heart.

And it fits.

Im a hot-as-f, inked-up tattoo artist at the trendiest shop in the Rocky Mountains.

I have the looks, I have the bike, I have the reputation.

That means I get the ladies.

Sure. There are lots of women out there who hate tattoos. Wouldnt be caught dead with guys like me. And thats fine. Im not looking for girls like that.

Im looking for that other kind of girl.

The wild one, the bad one, the crazy one.

Funny thing is… the one I fell for isnt that girl.

Shes the Good Girl.

And maybe back when she was nineteen I came off as a maybe, but after seven years of distance I am now the definition of not a keeper.

But I can be a keeper.

I can make the good girl swoon.

I can be the dream guy she never saw coming.

If she would just… not press charges… Im pretty sure I can turn this whole relationship around.

Vic Vaughn is Vicious is a bad-boy-trying-his best-to-win-her-back romantic comedy about a misunderstood tattoo-artist-biker called Vicious and a good girl named Daisy who ghosted him seven years ago after she came to her senses. Its filled with funny twists, dreams of grandeur, and all seven members of the most inappropriate family in all of Colorado.

EXCERPT:

Wanna go out there?” he asks me.

I dont know what to say. I mean, not particularly. I dont want to go out there. I want to stay in here with him.

I want to study every inch of this room.

I want to know this man.

Turning away from the open doors, I shake my head a little and once again concentrate on all the things in this space that give away hints to who and what he is.

The bed is just a mattress set on top of stacks of wooden pallets. Its not made. But that just makes it more interesting, not less. His sheets and pillowcases are light gray satin, but his comforter is a dark gray luxurious velvet. I can only imagine what it feels like to sleep in his bed with those two contrasting textures on either side of your body.

Then I picture what it would feel like to lie next to him in that bed. To be his.

I let out a breath and allow my eyes to wander up the wall where there are more framed pictures. Magazine covers. Tattoo magazine covers, specifically.

And his face.

Vic Vaughn is Vicious, the cover in the center reads.

Hes standing next to me and I cannot stop the quick rotation of my head in his direction as I realize just who I am with. Youre… him.”

Him?” He smiles coyly. Then he nods his chin at the magazine covers. Im him. Wanna run away now?”

I shake my head, then whisper, Not a chance.”

He closes the short distance between us, slipping behind me. And when his lips lower down to the exposed skin on the back of my neck, I have to suck in a breath and try my best not to shiver. His fingertips slide up my arms and then he slips them back down, taking my coat along for the ride. I turn to face him just as he slips his jacket off too. Then he walks over to a large, open closet and hangs them both on wooden hangers.

I dont know why this simple act makes me tingle all over, but it does.

And he knows it does. I can tell by the way hes looking at me.

How old are you?” I ask.

Way too old for you. What about you? Wanna admit to it?”

Not sure if I do. But I say it anyway. Nineteen. Do you want me to leave now?”

I think I want you to stay forever.”
