The Forgotten Childby Lorhainne Eckhart

**NOW INCLUDES FREE bonus novella, A BABY AND A WEDDING**

How do you tell a man there is something wrong with his child?

In THE FORGOTTEN CHILD, Brad Friessen wasn’t looking to love again. But what he got was a woman who shook his lonely bitter world upside down, and touched him in a way no other woman could.

Emily Nelson, a courageous young mother, ends a loveless, bitter marriage and strikes out on her own. She answers an ad as a cook and live-in caregiver to a three-year-old boy on a local ranch. Ranch owner Brad Friessen hires and moves in Emily and her daughter. But Emily soon discovers something’s seriously wrong with the boy, and the reclusive, difficult man who hired her can’t see the behavior and how delayed his son is. So Emily researches until she stumbles across what she suspects are the soft signs of autism. Now she must tell him, give him hope, and help him come to terms with this neurological disorder–to take the necessary steps to get his child the help he needs.

As their lives become intertwined, their attraction is unavoidable–a connection sparks between them. But just as they’re getting close, Brad’s estranged wife, Crystal, returns after abandoning the family two years earlier. Among the shock and confusion is one disturbing question Brad can’t shake: How does Crystal know so much of his personal business, the inner working of the ranch, and Emily’s relationship with his son?

Crystal must’ve had a plan, as she somehow gains the upper hand, driving a wedge in the emotional bond forged between Brad, Emily, and the children. The primary focus for care and therapy of three-year-old Trevor is diverted. The lengths to which Crystal will go, the lies, the greed, just to keep what’s hers, are nothing short of cold and calculating. Emily’s forced out of the house. Brad fights to save his boy, to protect what’s his, and struggles over his greatest sacrifice–Emily, and the haunting question: Has he lost her forever?

Transitions: Stories of how to help Mom and Dad with their stuffby Jean Long Manteufel

“Mom and Dad need help with all their stuff, and honestly, I’m getting worn out trying to help them.”

When seniors are downsizing from the house they’ve been in for over 50 years, it can be overwhelming. Repeatedly we hear: “I don’t know where to start.” Often there are tears.

They need help to deal with all the stuff – whether it is the stuff in their home, or the emotional stuff they are faced with.

Boomer kids are looking for direction too. “Why won’t Mom do what I want?”, and “My brother won’t help me.” The popular line: “We’re going to get a dumpster.”

Transitions is a monthly column to guide seniors and their children through these changes. It is about the emotion and the commotion of making the transition. With ideas for both generations, the goal is to coach, encourage and guide folks through the process.

This is a collection of fifty of those columns. The stories often aren’t just one person’s story. If they feel familiar, it is because there are many of us sharing the same challenges. You aren’t alone.

Rocky Mountain Heatby Vivian Arend

Six Pack Ranch, Book 1

Blake Coleman is old enough to know that acting on impulse causes nothing but a heap of trouble. But when trouble’s a western-hat-wearing blonde with slim legs that go on forever, what’s a man to do? Wanting the sweet girl next door is just wrong. The responsible thing to do is keep his hands off.

Jaxi has other plans for Blake’s hands, and his heart. She may have once considered him a big brother, but that was a long time ago. She’s all grown up now and ready to convince him that she’s perfect for him. Except he can’t seem to see past the big “don’t touch” sign that’s apparently still hanging around her neck.

When Jaxi ends up living right under Blake’s nose, the undeniable heat between them slides off simmer and leaps up to barn-burning levels. However, a few of the younger six-pack Colemans have decided Jaxi’s brand of trouble is worth risking a few busted bones.

That is, if Blake’s finally ready to let go the reins and fight for what he wants…

Warning: Sexy cowboys seducing and being seduced in trucks, pool halls and barns. Droolworthy country charm, a little double-teaming, a few secrets and a whole lot of brothers to look forward to. Anyone wanna go for a ride?

Alexby Adam J Nicolai

Ian Colmes fears he’s going mad.

His son, Alex, was killed six months ago. The boy was only five years old. In the wake of his death, Ian drove his wife away and nearly lost his job. Now, alone in an empty house, Ian is seeing his son again.

Every vision is a repeat of something Alex said or did in life: aching memories replaying themselves for Ian’s eyes alone. Are these images of Alex real? Has he found a way back, to forgive or condemn his father?

Or has Ian’s sorrow quickened into psychosis?

With a masterful hand, bestselling Kindle Horror author Adam J Nicolai paints a picture of grief, madness, and the furious strength of a father’s love for his son.

Amazon readers are saying:

“Mr. Nicolai maintains a sense of creeping disquiet and uncertainty throughout the narrative; I was unsure whether Ian was haunted by his son or slowly going crazy until the last few pages of the novel.”
– Uncle Progress – 5 stars

“I … found myself marveling at how well-crafted many sentences are. I would find myself stopping and re-reading them, just so I could savor their beauty a little longer.”
– Basil Owen – 5 stars

“Mr. Nicolai uses language beautifully. He paints very vivid images in very few words and he does so brilliantly.” – Tifainé N. Highly – 5 stars

“Mr. Nicolai’s brutally straightforward prose and clear love for his characters… combine into something vital and hungry (like the early works of – dare I speak his name? – Stephen King).”
– Ryan J. Holthaus – 5 stars

“[O]ften it is easy to see why any given writer had to self publish (and often seemingly without any editor). That is definitely not the case here. The writing was intense, compelling and intelligent.”
– Beth C – 4 stars

“[T]he ending was nailed perfectly.”
– Jason Plowman – 5 stars

“For anyone who has been near people in the depths of horrific and insatiable grief, Ian’s hundred mile an hour flight into emotional and physical self-destruction rings true.”
– Shawna B. – 5 stars

“During the climax of the story my 1.5 year old daughter read my emotions and instinctively curled up in my arms and remained there [for the] rest of the book. This was not just a story for me – it was an experience.”
– Ben – 5 stars

“If Alex [is] a sign of things to come, keep your eyes on this author. You will not regret it.”
– Grace McDonough – 5 stars

Alex, by Adam J Nicolai. You will not sleep tonight.
