The Other Sister (Sister Series, #1)by Leanne Davis

He rescued her from hell. Now? She has to find a way to live with it.

General Travis Bains has two daughters, one who is good, and one who is bad. Everyone knows Lindsey is the good one, and Jessie is the bad one.

Jessie Bains is the other sister, the bad sister, which she has proven more often than not, until the day she gets kidnapped and brutally raped. Will Hendricks, one of her father’s soldiers, rescues her and brings her home, but fears she may be nearly destroyed by what is done to her. The most important thing, however, is that no one can know, per the general’s orders.

Jessie’s life was always far from normal as the daughter of one of the most revered generals in the world. No one sees what the general does to Jessie, except Will. When Will discovers the danger Jessie is living in at her father’s hand, he once again rescues her. Will has survived the horrors of war, but is now engaged in a battle that has become far more personal and far more deadly. Will alone realizes what the general has done and will do to destroy his “other” daughter.

My Holiday Reunionby Weston Parker

Christmas is the season of second chances.

I’m not the same guy I was growing up, but I have some apologies to make for being him.

My fifteen-year high school reunion reminds me of my biggest regret.

Walking away from the love of my life to chase my career.

By doing so, I fell in love with another woman, had a little boy, and life mended itself.

Until my wife passed away.

Love can suck it. I’m not interested anymore.

And yet the minute I see my childhood sweetheart at our reunion, the ice melts inside my chest.

But she hates my guts for leaving her without a goodbye when we were kids, and I can’t blame her.

An unexpected chain of events has her in an accident and without her memory for a short time.

As much as I hate myself for doing it, I tell her she watches my son and works for me.

I just need time to help her remember how much we loved each other.

It’s not right, but she’s always been mine.

I can’t keep up the lie forever, but before I reveal what I’ve done, maybe she’ll see the man I am today.

Different. Strong. Completely in love with her.

Or maybe she’ll recognize the truth.

I haven’t changed at all.

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimalby Weiqi Wang

The world is beautiful because it’s full with magic elements of seven types, each in a designated color – just like the rainbow code! That said, those colors could only be seen by some special eyes, such as Soarame’s!

Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they were called “magimals”. A well-known example is dragons, and we all know how strong they are. However, they are still not the most powerful kind of magimals, because each type of magic has a king kind – and never underestimate a magimal just because it looks cute and little!
