The Alliance of Remarkable Landlordsby Mark J. Oliver

When George Stout inherits his grandfather’s pub in the sleepy, secluded village of Somewhere, little does he realise what extraordinary adventures are about to unfold. For the golden ale and scrumptious cider flowing from the taps of The Blue Goblin hold a secret, ancient power.

As the newest member of the Alliance of Remarkable Landlords, George embarks on a strange and epic quest that will take him through the mysterious Water Door and into the enchanted world of Thera.

Along the way he meets a cast of magical creatures, with whose help he just might save both worlds, and enjoy some fine ale in the process.

This story mixes the contemporary with the magical in a world where brass-knuckled squirrels fight monstrous giants, witches terrorize enchanted animals and dastardly DJ’s haunt the airwaves.

Not Quite Brokenby Nicole Guidry

There’s a difference between being alive and truly living, but Layla Matthews hasn’t figured that out… yet.

After losing her family in a horrific car accident at fifteen, Layla has spent the last nine years going through the motions. Dinner with her aunt once a week? Check. Occasional boyfriend throughout college? Check. Friends? Well, let’s not get too crazy.

Deciding to move to a new city for a fresh start, Layla leaves her hometown – and all the painful memories to go along with it – behind in hopes of opening her own CPA firm. Her plans of getting through the rest of her life as painlessly as possible have protected her so far, but fresh starts aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

She should’ve known when she saw Colt Johnson sitting across the dinner table glaring at her that her life was about to change, but when does life come with a warning label?

Gentlemen Prefer Spinstersby Samantha Holt

The first rule of the Spinsters Club is: You do not talk about the Spinsters Club.

The second rule of the Spinsters Club is: You do not talk about the Spinsters Club.

The third rule…

Well, Merry understands the rules of the Spinsters Club fully, considering it was her idea in the first place. When one of her good friends loses her heart to an utter rogue and is ruined forever, she’s determined that the life of a spinster is for her. Thankfully, she’s not alone. Her three dearest friends have had their share of heartbreak and resolve to join her. No matter what the demanding mamas and papas of the world say, they will not give up their spinsterhood.

Particularly not to the handsome Lord Harcourt Easton, the Earl of Langley. Merry has always liked Harcourt–after all he is her brother’s best friend–but she cannot fathom his sudden interest in her. After all, he was well known to be quite the rogue at times and she’s hardly the sort to attract the attention of a rake.

But Harcourt has loved Merry for some time now. And he’s determined to make her see that. If only he could get past this stubborn determination that she should never marry and convince her he’s the man for her.

The death of her father and some strange incidents that put Merry in danger might not be ideal circumstances to woo a woman, but Harcourt is willing to make the best of a dire situation–especially while Merry needs a shoulder to cry on.

Harcourt could well be the most amazing man she knows, and Merry cannot help but be grateful for his support, but she cannot very well turn her back on the Spinsters Club so soon…can she?

Rocky Mountain Havenby Vivian Arend

A STAND ALONE story in the bestselling SIX PACK RANCH series by New York Times Bestselling Author Vivian Arend​

————-

It’s the quiet ones who take you by surprise.

Beth Danube’s emotionally abusive husband is dead and buried. So is her heart. It’s no big deal, she has all she wants: her three little boys and a fresh start in a small Alberta town. What she doesn’t want is another man in her life–not now, maybe not ever.

After ten years of unsatisfactory, missionary-position sex, she never expected her libido to reawaken. One look at sex-in-boots Daniel Coleman in a Calgary bar, though, blows the dust off her sexuality.

Sensing an edge of desperation, even fear, beneath Beth’s come-on, Daniel finds himself giving in to the powerful urge to let his normally subdued desires run wild. The lady wants non-judgemental, non-vanilla sex? She’s got it–in and out of the bedroom.

At first, friends with blazing-hot benefits is more than enough. Then she realizes Daniel is burning away the protective fortress around her heart…and the guilty secret she dare not reveal.

A Wolfe Among Dragonsby Kathryn Le Veque

“James died in Papa’s arms ~ “ Penelope de Wolfe from SERPENT

Get ready for perhaps the greatest de Wolfe adventure yet….

The sons of William de Wolfe (The Wolfe) are immortal, so they say. Men who are known as ShadowWolfe… DarkWolfe… Nighthawk… are as legendary as their father. The eldest four sons – Scott, Troy, Patrick, and James have always run in a pack. They are all to each other, in both brotherhood and in strength. But in 1282 A.D., James de Wolfe, the endearing and gentle brother, is killed in Wales as the Welsh rebel against Henry III.

… or was he?

Tales of a Welsh warrior known as Blaidd Cryf, or Blayth the Strong, are making way to English ears along the Welsh Marches. It’s 1286 A.D., and a Welsh warrior who can somehow read the minds of the English armies is rising to power among the last princes of Wales. With Blayth leading the Welsh armies, the English are being handed defeat after defeat. No one knows who Blayth is, or where he’s come from, but the English warlords are coming to realize that they will lose Wales once and for all if Blayth and his brilliant tactics aren’t stopped.

No one seems to realize that Blayth (the phoenetic pronunciation for Blaidd, meaning wolf in Welsh) may be the most deadly warrior Wales – and England – has ever seen.

Bhrodi de Shera, the hereditary King of Anglesey and husband to Penelope de Wolfe de Shera, youngest daughter of William de Wolfe, has no real grasp of who Blayth the Strong really is. An icon for his people, Bhrodi has been instrumental in helping the Welsh and English peacefully co-exist, and he very much wants all of Wales to know peace with England, but with Blayth leading a resurgence of rebellion along the border, Bhrodi seeks to meet with Blyth to discover who this man is and what he truly wants – a fractured Wales? Or is he determined to unit Wales under his rule?

When Blayth finally appears at Bhrodi’s stronghold of Rhydillian Castle, his identity is shrouded in mystery. It is said that the English, if they discover him, will execute him without question, so Blayth is well protected by his contingent of teulu. But when Penelope catches of a glimpse of the man who has single-handedly caused a resurgence of Welsh rebellion, she can hardly believe her eyes.

Lazarus has indeed arisen – and her brother, James, is back from the dead.

Discover the epic adventure of A Wolfe among Dragons, a tale of mystery, of hope, and most of all, of romance and redemption. When a dead son returns, it can be the greatest of joys and the deepest of tragedies. A Wolfe Among Dragons is truly a story for the ages.

What Lies in the Shadows: How Truth Healed a Splintered Mindby Jean Brunson

Terrifying nightmares and overwhelming shame brought Kathy to counseling, where she hoped to find the truth about the past she didn’t remember. She didn’t know she had seventy personalities. As we pulled back the layers of her life, she remembered many times in her childhood when her mother took her to cult “churches.” The leaders tortured and raped her. They nailed her to a cross in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. The cult members planted lies and dark secrets deep in her mind and used drugs and mind control to twist biblical truths. They convinced Kathy her “sweet blood” paid for their sins.

This book chronicles Kathy’s sixteen-year counseling journey, using excerpts from her thirty journals. She penned her prayers to Jesus onto tear-stained pages and communicated with her child alters by writing to them. The healing journey took Kathy through fierce spiritual battles, where she developed a deeper understanding of Jesus’ power against the forces of darkness.
