Business & Investing

Joni, Underwayby Kelly Oram

Nineteen year old Joni is loving life as an adult–living on her own, dealing with grown-up things like jobs, hook-ups, and doing her own laundry. Best of all: after finishing her first year at ASU, she will never again be called a freshman.

But when her brother is suddenly killed in a car accident, Joni’s adult life is turned upside down. Struggling to cope with loss, guilt, and anger–not to mention the meddling of friends and family trying to “fix” her–Joni is relieved to be presented with an escape in the form of a sailing trip her brother had been planning for months before he died.

With her first step onto the sailing vessel Lady Marguerite, Joni plunges into an adventure that will mark the beginning of her real adult life–a journey across the ominous dark blue of the Atlantic Ocean with a small, eccentric crew, and the young Captain Reid, whose gorgeous looks are only outmatched by his talent for care and kindness. Unfolding through the ups and downs of life at sea is an unforgettable story reminding us that love will always be a work-in-progress and coming of age never gets old.

For her.

Homeless In My Own Backyard: Living Beneath My Privilege as a Child of God by Kevin Hart

This book is written to all of those that may have made a mistake or 200 in their life. Those of us that have been lured away by the grass that appeared to have been greener on the other side than where you were, only to find out that not only was it not greener, it was actually Astro-Turf (Not Real). Just like the story of the prodigal son who began to look for love in all the wrong places only to find himself hungry, hurting and homeless.

To really grasp the power of this book you must understand that the prodigal son story is a metaphor that Jesus used to reinforce God’s relationship with His children. The Father being God and the son being us. The bible is clear that “The earth is the Lords and everything in it”. The bible is also clear that as sons we are heirs and joint heirs with Christ. So, no matter how far off the son strayed, no matter how long he stayed, he was still on his daddy’s property and if it is his daddy’s property and he is heir then it’s his property too. So, if he was hungry, hurting and homeless, He was homeless in his own backyard.

Are you living beneath your privileges as a child of God?
Do you feel like there is much more for you than what you have been experiencing?

Have you been bamboozled by the Astro-Turf’s of life? If so, then it just might be time to go back home.

Dark Warriorby Kathryn Le Veque

It’s the Dark Knight’s wild son, Cortland “Cort” de Russe in an adventure that could see him executed for treason.

March Medieval Madness has arrived!

1518 A.D. – As a decorated knight for Henry VIII, Cort is charged with a special mission – to seduce an Irish rebel and learn her secrets

Dera MacRohan is no ordinary Irish warrior lass.

Born from the ancient MacRohan warrior bloodlines, Dera is from a long line of warrior women. She deeply resents the English and their conquest, but she also understands the subtleties of tactics and strategy. Sometimes it is easier to catch flies with honey.

Or kill an Englishman with kindness.

But Cort isn’t stupid. When the lass’ guard comes down, he suspects there’s more to it. But two can play at that game; he reckons that if he is nice to her, she will tell him what he needs to know about the Irish rebellion she is part of. He plans to put that de Russe charm to good use. But in their bid to out-charm each other, genuine feelings develop.

Cort begins to understand the Irish point of view in the rebellion against the English. He doesn’t necessarily agree, but that doesn’t matter – she believes and that’s good enough for him. When the de Winter flagship castle of Mount Wrath is attacked, Cort and Dera and a massive de Winter and de Russe army sail for Ireland to reclaim it. As Cort tries to understand more of the motivation of the Irish rebels, he succumbs to his passion for Dera and marries her in secret.

Until an English knight discovers the secret. Cort’s older brother, Trenton de Russe, convinces Cort to flee and take Dera with him. Will he go? Or will he stay and fight for the Irish alongside his new wife?

Live and love with Cort and Dera as they navigate the treachery of English and Irish politics, of an angry king, and of a son’s devotion to his father and family. Will Cort betray the de Russe name worse than his father ever did? Or will he forget about the Irish woman who has become his all for living in the name of family honor?

Stolen Shroudby Daniel Westlund

His faith was in tatters. And after being so close. Professor Mark Eberhart was set to carbon date the Shroud of Turin. He was going to finally find out if this relic was real, and if it could revive his dwindling Christian faith. But the Shroud was stolen right in front of him . . . by thieves who possessed super human powers.

But that’s not the reason for Mark’s sudden crisis of faith. As he and journalist Cora Byron attempted to recover the Shroud, he learned some disturbing news. At the same time he was scheduled to test the Shroud, other scientists were running DNA tests on the supposed lost bones of Jesus–tests which proved that these were, in fact, the real bones of Christ. And that the Resurrection never happened.

The Billionaire’s Unexpected Wifeby Ali Parker

As soon as I saw her, I knew I had to have her.

I thought this Vegas fundraiser was going to be boring–another obligation to keep the family business alive.

Boy, was I wrong.

I don’t remember anything about the night we spent together. But now we’re married.

Only problem is, I don’t believe in true love. And she doesn’t seem to, either.

But this could work out for both of us.

I need someone to stop my traditional Greek family from nagging me about settling down, and she could use some cash for reasons she doesn’t care to disclose.

I know a good deal when I see one.

This is book 1 of a trilogy. You will have to purchase book 2 and 3 to finish the story.

Murder in Cannesby Susan Kiernan-Lewis

Summer on the Côte d’Azur means tan bodies, wide beaches and glamorous nightclubs throbbing with the vitality of the rich and beautiful. So when Maggie Newberry arranges to meet an old boyfriend at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes, it’s no surprise she begins to feel the seduction of her old life.
But amidst the glamor, beautiful clothes and brilliant creative work on display, there is also the side of the business Maggie had forgotten was always there too. The petty rivalries, the dirty deals, the betrayals, are all still front and center. When the back-stabbing turns literal and the wife of Maggie’s childhood friend is accused of the murder, Maggie knows she has to help. Along the way she needs to fight the police, Laurent, and even her own natural instincts about who she is now and the life she left behind. She learns the hard way that the treachery rife in her old industry has since ramped up to a whole new level—one that her quiet life as a vigneron’s wife has not at all prepared her for…and one that could very well get her killed.
