The Widowby Lynn Winchester

Leo Watkins is an ill-tempered widower with a busy smithy to run and no desire to adhere to silly niceties. He likes his life just the way it is and doesn’t care what other people think. But when his son convinces him it’s time to remarry, Leo needs a crash course in wooing a bride.

Missy Piers is a school teacher, a young widow, and the only woman in town fiery enough to put a grumpy old blacksmith in his place. So when Leo asks her to help him catch a wife, she’s reluctant to do so.
Until she starts to fall for the awkwardly charming farrier.

Leo doesn’t know what to do about the infuriating yet intoxicating widow. She’s bossy, uptight, and…beautiful. And she makes him feel things he thought long buried.

Falling for Leo isn’t in Missy’s plans, he’s stubborn and entirely too handsome. So why does his presence make her weak and why does his touch make her yearn for something more?

When these two opposing spirits are offered a second chance at what they’ve lost, will they find love or will their hearts forever be lonely?

Didn’t Get Frazzledby David Z Hirsch

A rousing, provocative novel about four years in the life of an intrepid young medical student, set in the grueling world of an elite NYC medical school.

“…the best fictional portrayal of med school since ER.” – BlueInk Review, starred review

Medical student Seth Levine faces escalating stress and gallows humor as he struggles with the collapse of his romantic relationships and all preconceived notions of what it means to be a doctor. It doesn’t take long before he realizes not getting frazzled is the least of his problems.

Seth encounters a student so arrogant he boasts that he’ll eat any cadaver part he can’t name, an instructor so dedicated she tests the student’s ability to perform a gynecological exam on herself, and a woman so captivating that Seth will do whatever it takes to make her laugh, including regale her with a story about a diagnostic squabble over an erection.

Didn’t Get Frazzled captures with distressing accuracy the gauntlet idealistic college grads must face to secure an MD and, against the odds, come out of it a better human being.

>>> Cringe, laugh, fall in love, cringe some more…

If only medical school was actually this entertaining.

Scorchedby Paula Quinn

Marcus is a Drakkon as ancient as the stars, stronger than a mountain, and the last of his kind. Men now rule the earth. The time of the Drakkon is over thanks to the legendary Phoenix Amber and the Council of Elders who use its power to transform Drakkon into humans. When the Council discovers he may be hiding a treasure worth more than any dragon horde, they will stop at nothing to have it and transform him against his will.

Being human is worse than anything Marcus could have imagined. His brilliant cerulean scales are gone, replaced with paltry skin he is sure could not even stop a bird if one flew into him. But worse than imprisonment in a male body are the awakenings of unfamiliar human desires that are nothing like the animal urges that were so easily satisfied as a Drakkon– emotions like loneliness that make him seek out companionship with a woman who, unfortunately for him, happens to be a sweetly-scented virgin.

Samantha Montgomery isn’t about to go to bed with a man who believes he used to be a reptile, especially one whose smoldering smiles make her think of being consumed alive by fire, and loving it. A romance writer and product of the New York State foster care system, Sam just wants some normalcy in her life. She’ll never get it with Marcus. Should it matter that his wickedly passionate touch tempts her to yield all, even if all he wants is her virtue? He is everything she doesn’t want in a man. Fear of commitment is one thing, not loving anyone or anything for ten centuries is another. But he won’t leave her castle. He’s arrogant, proud, and a bit delusional as to his abilities, but despite all his infuriating ways, including reading her mind and ceaselessly trying to convince her that the knights she writes about were useless beings clad in metal, he works his way into her life by fixing what’s broken; from the stone wall outside her battle-beaten castle to the wall around her heart.

When Marcus discovers the treasure that prompted his transformation, he must make a choice. Give up his human heart and save the Drakkon race, or surrender his heart to love and remain a man forever.

Queen of a Kindby Sheila Michelle

13-year-old wealthy heiress Grace Garrett has everything most girls would want. A loving family, a wardrobe to die for, and a house that looks more like a hotel than a home – and she doesn’t take any of it for granted. But there is one thing Grace doesn’t have that she wants – she wants to be Beaumont High School’s 20th Queen.

Beaumont High School in Paradise, Nevada is not your typical, wealthy high school. Having been around for 100 years, it has traditions that no other school has, and the one tradition that stands out among them all is one that they’ve had for the past 75 years, and that’s their prestigious Beaumont High School Queen. A Beaumont Queen is nothing like a one-night-reign Homecoming or Prom Queen, a Beaumont Queen’s reign lasts all four years she is at Beaumont, starting on the first day of school her freshman year, and ending on graduation day her senior year. For a Beaumont Queen, the word reign means the same thing as job since a job is what it is. And since this job is four years, it’s not available every year so a girl has to be lucky to fall into the four-year mark, as Beaumont calls it, to even have a chance at becoming a Beaumont Queen, and Grace is one of those lucky girls because Beaumont High School’s four-year mark is once again here and they have 19 Beaumont Queens to date, and they are looking for their 20th.

Beaumont is serious about their queens and is always looking for the best, and not a girl who thinks she’s the best because she is the best looking and has the best collection of designer clothes, shoes, and handbags out of everyone she knows, as well as being the one that all the boys dream about being with. Bratty and selfish girls also need not apply, but they still do. Since they’re all spoiled in some way because this is just the life that they live, they have to show the Beaumont Queen Organization why they have what it takes to be Beaumont’s 20th Queen because the job is strictly about merit. But no matter how high – or low – a girl thinks of herself, she can’t resist the chance to have a high school job that consists of worldwide traveling, meeting people from all walks of life, and giving talks to sellout crowds – and this is just the beginning. In addition to all of this, she has to deal with media circuses everywhere she goes and escorts always around her to keep them in control, seeing herself online and on TV all of the time, and having a worldwide fan base. But what the girls can’t resist most of all is having a chance at wearing the huge, priceless genuine jeweled crown that comes with the territory of this one-of-a-kind job.

After Grace sees and hears Beaumont’s 19th Queen, Victoria Chandler, speak at her school, Premington Middle School, she sees just how serious the job of being a Beaumont Queen really is. She gets over her doubts about applying and begins her journey to the most desirable job that a high school girl can have. During this journey, she learns about positivity verses negativity, the strength of her intellect, first and ageless impressions, persistence and perfection, and the reality of rejection. Driven by her good moral character, she learns and accepts the true meaning of hard work and discovers the definition of her own self-worth as she tries to make herself go from an ordinary teen to an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind high school queen a reality. But every dream job has its dark sides, and Grace finds out through various sources that the words dream and drama go hand in hand when it comes to having the most desirable job in the world that a teenage girl can have throughout her high school years, and wonders what is really in store for her if she does become Beaumont’s 20th Queen.
