Lincoln

A Los Angeles Quakes Hockey Series Book 1

by Alisa Jean

Genre: Sports Hockey Romance 

L.A. Quakes’ fans stomped their feet to cheers of “Caveman!” when I made incredible saves in the crease, leading the team to two Stanley Cup victories. I thought I could go on forever, but at thirty-six, the clock’s counting down even for Lincoln Cavanaugh. Social media and fan sites are filled with rumors of me being traded. Or worse. My future looks as uncertain as a loose puck on the ice.

My fate rests in the hands of Catherine Bishop, daughter of the team’s owner and a power to be reckoned with. And what fine hands they are, along with everything else about her. A chance encounter leads to sparks between us, but is falling in love with this incredible woman worth the risk?

Because with her by my side, I’m once again an unstoppable force between the pipes, and victories pile up like never before. However, our love is a ticking time bomb because Catherine has dreams of making history as the first female and person of color to own an NHL team. Sleeping with a player would make that all go up in smoke. I fear when the truth comes out, it will be the final buzzer for us.

How To Charm a Nerd

WiCKed Sisters Book 2

She’s kind of a witch. He’s definitely a nerd. And this Halloween they’re letting their geek flags fly in this playful romantic comedy from USA TODAY bestselling author Katherine Garbera.

Dungeons and dragons and nerds, oh my…

The spooky season is almost here, and occultist and tarot reader Liberty Wakefield is already feelin’ it. But ever since her sick nan muttered the name of Liberty’s mysterious biological father, nothing feels normal. Not her friends, her family, nor the quirky shop she runs with her besties. So maybe it’s time for Liberty to track down the father she’s never met. Of course, that means getting a little help from the sexy nerd she’s been not-so-secretly vibing since last summer…

Merle Rutland hasn’t met anyone like the vivacious, bubbly Liberty. Part of him wishes he was more like her—instead of hiding his geekery from his hyper-athletic family. The other part just wants to pull the curvy redhead close, steal a kiss and hope he doesn’t roll a critical fail.

Only, somewhere between Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, pumpkins and a few ridiculously hot sexy-times, Liberty and Merle discover their respective weirds might be a match. Yet as Halloween draws closer, it seems everyone has skeletons in the closet…and nothing spells disaster quite like being haunted by the past…

The Bookbinder’s Guide to Love

WiCKed Sisters Book 1 

A witchy, witty, wickedly sexy romance about love, books, friendship and the unexpected connections that bind us together…

Bookbinding (verb): the art of creating something magical out of fabric, leather and paper.

As a lonely foster kid, Serafina Conte sought refuge in handmaking journals—and writing her wishes within their pages. Now, in the quirky new age store she shares with her two best friends, Sera’s intentions have paid off. Her journals are in the spotlight—and rumored to manifest great things. Whether it’s witchy skills, real magic or not, Sera’s finally ready to be the leading lady of her life story…

Until her plot hits a twist.

After the death of her mentor, Ford Sitwell, all the loneliness and insecurity of her past returns. The only balm is the box of antique books he left to her. But Ford’s suspicious brooding grandson, Wes, is ready to think the worst of her—and get his grandfather’s books back! The first part doesn’t bother her. The second? Forget it. Sera won’t give Wes the books so easily. But it’s clear he’s seeking something more, an emotional connection no book can replace. So she offers a deal—work in her store for six weeks, and in return, she’ll help him get closure by sharing memories of his late grandfather.

Yes, Wes seems grumpy, but actually he’s hot…and maybe kind? Deep down? And when desire and vulnerability work their charms, Sera begins to wonder if the best stories aren’t the ones you intend, but the ones that take you where you least expected…

From showing up to glowing up, these characters are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way.

Sandy's Valentine

 

Happiness Begins with You

Excerpt from the short story, Sandy's Valentine

“You need people.”

“I have work.”

“That’s not enough.”

Sandy sighed again. It wasn’t worth the exhausting energy to keep arguing with her. Cathy’s heels were dug in deep and Sandy would follow her parents’ wishes to the letter.

So, she took acrylic painting lessons.

Several months after that, she took pottery and ceramic lessons.

Then, she took ballroom dance lessons.

It didn’t help. She continued to feel off balance and out-of-whack. She needed time. The last several years were a rough go of it.

Sandy got up and poured herself another cup of coffee. Returning to the living room she could see the photograph of her parents, Sandy, and her ex-boyfriend, Jake. Not willing to shove it away in a box, she’d placed it on the bottom shelf of her end table. It was always within view of her favorite chair.

It always made her smile.

She should’ve stored it in a box somewhere years ago, but it was such an awesome picture. The Disney castle was in the background, the weather was warm, and everyone was thrilled to be sharing the day together.

She couldn’t believe she’d known Jake for so long, and still wanted him after all these years. They’d met while both of them were in college. He’s the one who convinced her to take a stab at real estate.

Best decision she ever made.

She and Jake always seemed to be on the same page. The two of them stayed up all hours of the night and talked about the future and what they wanted out of life. They never considered they’d end up going their separate ways. They thought it’d be forever. They were young and naïve.

The bright future sparkled in their eyes. If they’d only know what sadness the future held for them.

Ah, no regrets. Sandy would have loved him and cherished him regardless of how it all turned out.

Secret desires were shared. She’d whispered how she wanted to teach art classes and illustrate children’s books on the side. He dreamed about working on Wall Street.

The promises they’d made to each other...

Damned Yankees

 

 

Damned Yankees is a gripping tale set during America’s Revolutionary War, where loyalty is tested, and survival is anything but certain.

Damned Yankees

by Ray Deptula

Genre: Historical Fiction

Those who fight their nation’s wars are typically those least able to avoid it.

The world was, is now, and always will be a complicated and volatile place filled with those whose self-interests supersede more noble aspirations.

If history has taught us anything, it is that times may change, but human nature does not.

The competing interests and political tensions of the formation of our country were no more or less dysfunctional than they are today, with the best and worst of individual behavior continually on display.

Jack Halliday wants nothing more than to belong somewhere that provides him with security and values his worth.

In an uncaring world that devours the weak, he is forced to rely on his strongest attribute, his ability and willingness to fight, which ironically belies his benevolent nature.

Much like the fledgling union of the thirteen original colonies, Jack’s rebirth into autonomy constantly teeters on demise in a world where his decisions are all he can control.

Across the Wilderness

  Where it all began...

https://amzn.to/4dQQOYX

Stories that stir within us the unquenchable hope for a better tomorrow.

Pamela Ackerson delivers all the passion that fans of this Native American, historical, time travel series have come to love. With unforgettable characters, she has enchanted readers with adventure and love that has spanned across the essence of time. This is the story that started it all, introducing the Wilderness time travel series, a timeless, spellbinding novel of passion and richly detailed history that delightfully comes alive in an exhilarating adventure with a love story that spans across the ages. The mysterious dreams had become a reality.

Traveling through time, Dr. Karen Anderson found herself in the land of the Lakota, in the midst of the Indian wars, and the movement west. Swept into the arms of the dark-haired warrior, Standing Deer, from her modern-day hustle and bustle to the temporary serenity of life on the Plains...over the span of time, they fight for yesterday and together find the promise of tomorrow.


In the heart of the wilderness, where the winds carried secrets and the ancient trees whispered forgotten tales, Dr. Karen Anderson stumbled upon a rift in time. Her footsteps, guided by destiny and sheer curiosity, led her beyond the boundaries of her life.

The year was 1876, and the land stretched out before her like an untamed canvas. The Lakota people roamed freely, their lives intertwined with the rhythms of nature—the buffalo herds, the changing seasons, and the sacred ceremonies that echoed through the valleys. Karen, a modern woman with a scientist’s mind, found herself inexplicably drawn to this world of raw beauty and primal struggle.

And there, amidst the rolling grasslands, she met him—the dark-haired warrior named Standing Deer. His eyes held the wisdom of ages, and his spirit bore the weight of ancestral memories. He was a man of honor, bound by duty to protect his people, yet haunted by dreams of a woman from another time.

Their encounter was no mere accident. It was a collision of destinies—a cosmic dance that defied logic and reason. Karen, with her stethoscope and her heart full of longing, became entangled in the threads of history. Standing Deer, with his bow and his quiet strength, saw in her the promise of a future he could not comprehend.

Together, they navigated the treacherous currents of time. They faced battles—both on the battlefield and within their hearts. For love, like war, knows no boundaries. It transcends the barriers of culture, prejudice, and even mortality. And so, Karen and Standing Deer fought for their love—a love that spanned centuries, defying the very fabric of reality.

In the moonlit nights, they whispered secrets to the stars. In the heat of battle, they clung to each other, knowing that every kiss could be their last. And as the Lakota sunsets painted the sky in hues of amber and crimson, they vowed to find a way—a bridge across time—to be together.

But fate is a fickle weaver, and the threads of their love were fragile. The spirits watched, their ancient eyes filled with both sorrow and hope. And when the final reckoning came, Karen and Standing Deer stood at the edge of eternity, their hands entwined, their hearts ablaze.

In the vast expanse of the wilderness, where the echoes of battles and the songs of ancestors lingered, two souls found solace. Their love story, etched into the very fabric of time, whispered across the ages—a promise that love, like hope, could endure beyond the limits of mortality.

And so, as the winds carried their names into eternity, Karen and Standing Deer became legends—a love story woven into the tapestry of the Lakota people, a beacon of hope for all who dared to dream of a better tomorrow.
