My childhood best friend needs a place to crash after a messy breakup.

And she’s not a little girl anymore. This woman has me wanting things I shouldn’t.

So I give her my guest room.

Even with a few walls between us, this good girl makes me feel like a really bad boy.

I want more.

Like all of her.

Murder in Manhattanby John Matthews

Murder in Manhattan

A historical crime thriller

Jack the Ripper’s murderous spree is over in London. But has it restarted in New York City? . . . A trail of murdered prostitutes leave a new breed of detective and forensic investigator in a race to find the ruthless killer, all against a backdrop of gangster violence.

***** “A compelling read with two fabulous lead investigators” – A Fantastical Librarian

New York, 1891:A prostitute is found brutally murdered – her body slashed and some of her organs removed.

Immediately fear starts to spread. The victim bears the same hallmarks as Jack the Ripper’s recent killing spree in England.

Finley Jameson, one of the original English Ripper pathologists, is put on the case and teamed up with Joseph Argenti, one of the new ‘untouchable’ detectives, hand-picked by a New York Mayor eager to fight corruption.

Argenti finds himself in the toughest challenge of his career—while at the same time facing life and death battles with some of New York’s most ruthless gangsters.

With the body count rising and Jameson and Argenti being openly taunted by letters claiming to be written by the killer it seems the ‘Ripper’ rumours could be true.

Has he crossed the Atlantic to find fresh killing grounds? Are his taunting letters proof that the cases are linked?

Or could this be a deranged copycat killer?

Murder in Manhattan is the first crime thriller in the Jameson & Argenti Victorian mystery series: hard-boiled urban investigations into serial killers that are packed full of suspense.

“A thrilling tale of murder, corruption and trust” – Uncorked Thoughts

“An exciting, captivating, thrilling and believable read” – House of Books

“The story is well told; gritty and gruesome in all the right places, and with plenty of action. An interesting take on the Jack the Ripper theme and a solid historical crime fiction read” – Books Butterfly

“John Matthews ticked all the right boxes. From the interesting and odd coupling of Jameson and Argenti, to the characterisation of peripheral prostitutes and victims. Each element was three dimensional and invoked a sense of realism which helped transport me to the time where this heinous tale of bloodshed was splashed across the headlines” – Just a Guy That Likes to Read

Note: this book was previously published under the title Letters from a Murderer by Exhibit A.

Love by Accidentby Weston Parker

What happens in Vegas goes viral in Vegas. Wait…

Being the only child of America’s wealthiest man is painful at times.

But it only gets worse when your name changes in the middle of the night thanks to a drunken lovefest turned marriage.

It started with a fight with a pretty pink cocktail and ended with a not-so-pretty pink plastic ring on my finger.

And he was a perfect stranger. A very hot stranger, but that’s quite irrelevant now.

Oddly enough, an annulment isn’t in the cards for us.

You see, in order for my drunken mistake not to affect the lives of thousands of innocent children, I need to convince my husband to stay married to me for at least six months.

But it’s never that easy, is it?

The poor boy has to deal with my dad and my ex who are working together to marry me off.

And not to my husband. But he’s a keeper.

Now to convince him that our love by accident is turning into a happy ever after.

It is for me at least.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

Psychology Confidentialby John Martin

Have you ever wondered about ANYTHING to do with psychology?

Sure you have

Psychology Confidential is an opportunity to plunge deep into the world of psychology through the intimate, humorous and uniquely informed perspective of Dr. John Martin. In stories, anecdotes, tales and adventures taken from his own life and career, Dr. John provides readers with insights on the curious, sometimes crazy, findings and people of psychology (including himself!), his world travels (especially to Africa), and fascinating animal psychology.

Psychology Confidential chronicles Dr. John’s journey through the world of psychology as student, teacher, researcher and therapist. Along the way, he offers candid reflections on his work with veterans, their trauma, as well as the journey of faith he took to heal his own.

Unlike other books about psychology, Psychology Confidential is a deeply personal and applied exploration of how psychology shows up in and shapes our own lives. Unlike memoirs or autobiographies, Dr. John’s stories give a unique perspective on the development of the field he studied and contributed to for so many years.

In the pages of this book, you’ll discover:

Ways to navigate common perceptions and misconceptions about psychology.
Where it can be applied to deepen and enrich your life and relationships.
The rich, funny, and hard-won insights from one man’s journey through it all
Dr. John’s tour through psychology provides food for the soul and a richly informative glimpse into a world that is rarely presented so intimately and honestly.

The Biggest Bluffby Maria Konnikova

A New York Times bestseller • A New York Times Notable Book

“The tale of how Konnikova followed a story about poker players and wound up becoming a story herself will have you riveted, first as you learn about her big winnings, and then as she conveys the lessons she learned both about human nature and herself.” —The Washington Post

It’s true that Maria Konnikova had never actually played poker before and didn’t even know the rules when she approached Erik Seidel, Poker Hall of Fame inductee and winner of tens of millions of dollars in earnings, and convinced him to be her mentor. But she knew her man: a famously thoughtful and broad-minded player, he was intrigued by her pitch that she wasn’t interested in making money so much as learning about life. She had faced a stretch of personal bad luck, and her reflections on the role of chance had led her to a giant of game theory, who pointed her to poker as the ultimate master class in learning to distinguish between what can be controlled and what can’t. And she certainly brought something to the table, including a Ph.D. in psychology and an acclaimed and growing body of work on human behavior and how to hack it. So Seidel was in, and soon she was down the rabbit hole with him, into the wild, fiercely competitive, overwhelmingly masculine world of high-stakes Texas Hold’em, their initial end point the following year’s World Series of Poker.

Freestyleby Bea Paige

From the gutter to the stars…
Dance is in my blood. It’s what keeps me sane, out of trouble.
It used to keep them out of trouble too.
A group of boys I grew up with. Xeno, York, Zayn and Dax.
We were a crew once and we ruled the clubs. Separate we were insanely good, together we were unbeatable.
F*&ing on fire.
I was their girl and they were my Breakers.
Until they did something they promised they never would; break my heart.
We were seventeen when they left me. You see, for kids like us, dance was all we had. Growing up in a rundown housing estate in London with no prospects can make you view the world differently. It can make you choose the wrong path.
I chose dance, and they chose crime.
Three years later I’ve won a scholarship to Stardom Academy. I try to forget my past.
But how can I do that when the four boys who hurt me are back? And this time they’re following in my footsteps and joining the academy too.

**Freestyle is book one of this new gritty, contemporary romance for 17+ readers and deals with adult themes and some subjects you may find upsetting. If you love dance, your men on the criminal side, alpha hot holes and the friends-to-enemies-to-lovers trope, this is for you. Contains foul language and sexual scenes and ends on a cliffhanger.**

How to Day Trade for a Livingby Andrew Aziz

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility and income that active trading does. As a trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You may only answer to yourself. That is the life of a successful day trader; but it is not easy to achieve and very few succeed.

In the book, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day. I’ve kept the book short so you can actually finish reading it and not get bored by the middle.

For beginner traders, this book gives you an understanding of where to start, how to start, what to expect from day trading, and how to develop your strategy. Simply reading this book, however, will not make you a profitable trader. Profit in trading does not come with reading a book or two or browsing online. It comes with practice, the right tools and software and appropriate ongoing education.

It was one hot night and I wanted so much more.

But the next morning, she was gone.

The only thing she took with her was my heart.

Because of digital, deep-seated, transformational changes occurred in the behaviors and expectations of societies, cultures and individuals. Marketing failed to navigate the impact this had on the brand-customer relationship causing radical erosion in brand value, engagement, loyalty, and trust.

Here Be Dragons insightfully unpacks and equips brands for the mandatory journey they must now take using the Quadring Engagement Matrix – a roadmap traveling from understanding why the failures happened to a place of powerful marketing leadership and consumer-centric, loyal engagement in today’s digital-first world.

Castle of Bonesby Kathryn Le Veque

A Medieval Gothic tale sure to satisfy your craving for spooks and ghouls and all things frightening!

A castle layered with secrets…

A family living a curse…

Will a knight in shining armor be enough to save them?

Castle Draygon is a castle with more than one mystery. When Hermes de Norville rides into the village at the base of the castle, little does he know how his life is going to change. A chance meeting with a woman the villagers call the Angel of Death changes his stars.

And so begins a complex and dark tale.

Castle Draygon is rife with curses and legends, so Hermes discovers. But above the whispers and rumors hovers an evil over the castle that controls its occupants. Hermes can’t help his attraction Catrine de la Pare, the woman known to the villagers as the Angel of Death, but Catrine’s story is as complex as the legends behind Castle Draygon itself. Reeling from the loss of his wife and riddled with grief, Hermes finds purpose when it comes to Catrine. She doesn’t deserve the reputation she’s been given by superstitious villagers and it’s up to Hermes to save Catrine and her brother, a man known as The Dragon, from the evil that hangs over Castle Draygon.

Can Hermes break the curse? Or will the evil in the tower overtake him, too?

Join Hermes and Catrine in a romantic Gothic Medieval tale.

A Forgotten Fallby Nadine Millard

All she’s ever wanted is freedom, challenge, and adventure. But the longer she spends with the wounded soldier from her past the more she realizes she might just want him.

Francesca Templeworth has never met a man that didn’t somehow disappoint her. While other girls her age dreamed of love and romance and marriage, she wanted adventure and challenges and freedom.

No man has ever held her interest. No man but Adam Fairchild, who’d gone off to war and had never come back.

Adam Fairchild has spent years running from the demons he encountered on the battlefield of war, from a past that he no longer remembers, and a present reality that feels too heavy a burden to carry. Returning to Halton he hopes to find a safe haven. What he finds instead is Francesca Templeworth, a pretty girl with a sharp wit who’s turned into a beautiful woman with a smart mouth.

All Adam wants is to hide himself away, miserable in the darkness. But he didn’t count on the most stubborn woman in all of Christendom insisting on dragging him back into the light.

Francesca can’t fight her attraction to Adam any more than Adam can fight is own to her. But until he learns to let go of the past, what hope do they have of a future together?

Adam is the one man she’s never forgotten. But the question is, will he let himself fall?

He’s eager to leave sadness and secrets behind in Chicago and head downstate to the small town of Greenberry, where the Vitale family awaits him.

Though initially shy of the beautiful teenage daughters—Anne, Vita, and Beth—they welcome him into their lives of adventure, beauty, and dreams.

Joey especially bonds with the middle sister, Vita, and her all-or-nothing pursuit of an acting career. Joey’s “there must be more” merges with Vita’s “I must make it happen” resulting in a magical summer where the town of Greenberrry becomes the
crucible for two desperate dreamers.

Never Binge Again(tm): How Thousands of People Have Stopped Overeating and Binge Eating – and Stuck to the Diet of Their Choice! (By Reprogramming Themselves to Think Differently About Food.) by Glenn Livingston Ph.D

If you struggle with binge eating, emotional eating, stress
eating, or if you repeatedly manage to lose weight only to gain it all back, you
may be approaching things with the wrong mindset.
Most contemporary thought on overeating and bingeing focuses on healing and
self-love. But people who’ve overcome food addiction and weight
issues often report it was more like capturing and caging a rabid dog than
learning to love their inner child…
Open the cage even an inch—or show that dog an ounce of fear—and it’ll quickly
burst out to shred your healthy eating plans, undoing all your progress in a
heartbeat.
From his perspective as a formerly food-obsessed psychologist—and previous
consultant to major food manufacturers—Dr. Livingston shares specific techniques
for isolating and permanently dis-empowering your “fat thinking self.” He
reveals much of his own personal journey in the process.
If despite your best intentions you find yourself in one or more of the
following situations then this book is for you…

You’ve tried diet after diet with no permanent success…

You constantly think about food and/or your weight…

You feel driven to eat when you’re not hungry (emotional overeating)…

You sometimes feel you can’t stop eating even though you’re full…

You sometimes feel guilty or ashamed of what you’ve eaten…

You behave differently with food in private than you do when you’re with other
people…

You feel the need to fast and/or severely restrict your food to “make up” for
serious bouts of overeating…
