Slave (Book One)by Laura Frances

There is no sun. There is no moon. There is only gray–the smog belched from coal-fueled factories. The Workers silently shuffle to their assigned posts. The Outcasts watch from the alley walls. On every corner, a Watcher stands stone-faced, a rifle in hand. This is the only life that exists. Beyond the mountains is a dream. But dreams are foolish in a place like this.

Hannah has spent nineteen years dodging Watchers and doing as she is told.

Do not look Watchers in the eye. Don’t give them a reason to notice you.

But when she wakes to the valley exploding in revolution, Hannah is forced onto a dangerous path, where nothing is what she believed. Suddenly freedom is in her grasp, and the way there requires working with the men she fears most.

Made for Meby Weston Parker

From Amazon Best Selling Author, Weston Parker comes a great single mom love story.

I’m a self-made man, rich because I willed it so.

Up from the slums in Boston to the top of the tallest high-rise downtown.

I don’t ask for what I want. I take it.

And right now, I want a woman by my side.

Funny how when you want something so badly, and you start looking with eyes wide open, you find it.

A beautiful, ballsy single mom shows up in an unlikely place, and I’m compelled to make my move.

It’ll start with a job and become so much more.

Why?

Because I’ll take the necessary steps to make her mine, one kiss at a time.

And she’ll fall for me, not because I’m a billionaire and have the power to pull her up in life, but because at the end of the day, she was made for me, and I was made for her.

Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston
