Balloon Animalsby Jonathan Dunne

BALLOON ANIMALS is a pilgrimage and road-trip of unusual dimensions.

Follow me, Jonny Rowe, on a wild goose-chase from Ireland to the USA with my American grandfather’s remains in my red birthday balloon. I use ‘remains’ in the loosest sense of the word: my grandfather, 45, puffed his last breaths of air into my birthday balloon before suffering a massive heart attack right there at my birthday party which becomes his deathday party.

Feeling responsible for 45’s death, and as a thank-you for filling Clinical Dad’s void after leaving that questionable suicide note, I make it my quest to return 45 to his birthplace amongst the corn of Iowa, USA, suspended inside his soul-bubble. This journey might also help me with my identity-crisis … I’m a genealogy student, by the way. And who knows, maybe I’ll find love – I tend to find things when I’m not looking for them.

Join me on a desperate race against time to unveil the truth as my birthday balloon begins to deflate and loose 45 forever to the wind.

Midnight Motel (The Anna Kelleher Chronicles Book 1)by Emerald O’Brien

“You have a choice to make, Anna. If you run we can protect you, but should you choose to stay, there’s no turning back.”

After years of estrangement, Anna Kelleher returns to the motel her family runs to make good on a promise to her dying grandma.
Upon her arrival, Anna finds an uncle she barely recognizes, a motel that looks nothing like she remembers, and the one person she needed to see is gone.
She soon discovers that the motel she knew as a child is host to secrets of a world she never imagined. With lives in the balance, her morals in question, and a promise yet to be fulfilled, Anna must choose between abandoning her family for good, or engaging with a darkness far greater than her own past in order to save them.
With precious little time at her disposal, Anna is caught in the middle when evil knocks at the motel door seeking answers and vengeance.

A Matter of Loveby Tallie Jacobs

Jase Callahan and Allie Tyndale have been best friends since childhood and have always had a special bond, but one mistake threatens to ruin that.

Jase has always loved Allie, but she never showed any interest beyond friendship. When she suggested getting married their last night in Vegas, he believed his dream was finally coming true. Despite his reservations, he agreed to play along with her plan to temporarily stay married. Because that’s what he’d always done; rescue Allie when she needed help.

Now he has three months to show her that this marriage was meant to be. And if she still wants out of this marriage in three months, he won’t be there to see her move on.

Playedby Colleen Charles

Would you sell your soul to save your daughter's life?

With my NHL career ripped to shreds by a devastating knee injury, I've hit rock bottom.

Dead Ass Broke.
Divorced.
Single Dad.

My new life isn't glamorous and people love to judge and label. The groupies have dried up and all that remains after my ex-wife stole all my money and left the country is my hell hole of an apartment and a beat up car I won in a shooting contest my rookie year. But none of that matters to me. It's all about my precious little girl. My heart. My soul. She's sick and she's hurting. There's a special trial at the Mayo Clinic but it costs six figures. I'm uninsured, and the only thing in my bank account is a string of zeros.

So when temptation makes its siren's call inside a hotel bar. I answer. How hard could it be? Escorting rich, powerful women around town? Besides, I'll do anything.

Anything.

My daughter's uncertain future hangs in the balance. A simple mistake invites a ghost from the past back into my life. She's only a name and a beautiful face in a photograph on a computer screen. Until she isn't. Something about her is so familiar.

Tempting me.
Threatening to destroy me with one look. One touch.

It wasn't supposed to turn into this. She's a trick. A sexy means to a desperate man's end. In spite of the raging chemistry between us, she's veiling her angel's light behind an icy exterior. And she's got her reasons to hide. Especially, from a man-whore like me. I've been reduced to a pathetic shell of the man I used to be. I'm someone who could drag her down from her ivory tower running one of the most powerful tech companies in the world into the cesspool of my meager existence. And I can't. I won't.

We both know this is a one-time thing. No repeats. Bought and paid for in a simple transaction. But I don't think I could ever be finished with her. She calls to me, salving my pain and despair with her kindness and vulnerability. But even she can't help me and my beautiful Jessica. No one can.

Coming up with the money's all up to me. Saving my daughter's life is all up to me. And come hell or high water, I'll get it done.

Breathless In Loveby Bella Andre & Jennifer Skully

Meet the Maverick Billionaires―sexy, self-made men from the wrong side of town who survived hell together and now have everything they ever wanted. But when each Maverick falls head-over-heels for an incredible woman he never saw coming, he will soon find that true love is the only thing he ever really needed…

An exciting and emotional new contemporary romance series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully!

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Will Franconi has a dark past that he’s kept a closely guarded secret―very few people have ever heard his real story and he plans to keep it that way. After surviving a hellish childhood, he’s now living the dream life where everything he touches turns to gold. But something’s missing. He doesn’t quite know what until a simple letter from a teenage boy brings Harper Newman into his life. A woman who just might fill up the empty places inside him…if only he could ever be worthy of her love.

When a man has more money than he could possibly spend in five lifetimes, Harper has to ask herself what Will Franconi could possibly want from a woman like her? She’s learned the hard way that rich men always get what they want no matter the cost. If it was just herself she had to worry about, Harper would manage, but she’s guardian to her younger brother who depends on her for everything. After nearly losing his life in a car crash, she’s vowed never to let anyone hurt him ever again.

Still, sometimes Harper can’t help but long to change her story from one of an always-cautious woman to an adventurous tale of a heroine who’s wild and free…especially when Will’s kisses and caresses make her utterly breathless. And as he begins to reveal his story to her, she discovers that he’s so much more than just another wealthy, privileged man. He’s kind and giving, and he fills up all the spaces inside of her heart that have been empty for so long. Together, can they rewrite their stories into a happily-ever-after that neither of them had previously thought was possible?
