Someone should have
warned me about falling in love with my best friend.

Carolina
Little did I know when Rex came to my locker attempting to bribe me, that
he’d turn into my everything.
We’d become best friends. I’d steal his heart. He’d steal mine.
Nothing has changed in the years of our friendship.
Not our connection, not our feelings, or that we still hold each other’s
hearts.
But his heart isn’t the only thing I’ve kept.
The secret I’m hiding could shatter the only man I’ve ever loved.

Rex
I’ve loved Carolina since the day she called my bluff.
Our friendship always came first.
She believed in me when no one else did.
I tucked away my feelings because I couldn’t survive a life without her.
We crossed the line once, and I swore it’d never happen again.
As time passes, the harder it becomes to live up to that promise.
Until finally, there’s no holding back.

Excerpt

“Grab your
planner, sweetheart. Pencil me in to pick you up three Saturdays from now.
Seven o’clock.”
“Okay,” she
drags out. “What’s up with the preplanning?”
“Prom
night. Let me know the color of your dress, so we can do all that matchy-matchy
bullshit.”
“Excuse
me?” She scowls in my direction. “You can’t just tell me I’m going to
prom with you.” She throws her arms up, her voice turning all dramatic, like
the boring romance movies she forces me to watch. “You didn’t even ask!”
“No need
for me to ask. You’re going to prom with me.”
“What if I
don’t want to go with you? You didn’t even give me a promposal!”
“Tough
shit. You won’t find a better date. Not to mention, I’m the only guy in this
school who won’t try to weasel his inexperienced dick into your virginal
panties.” He raises his brows. “If you want a promposal, I’ll get one of those
banners that fly in the sky or some shit.”
“You’re so
romantic.” She crosses her arms, pouting her glossy pink lips. “Have you ever
thought that I don’t want my panties to stay virginal? Maybe I want to
change that on prom night.”
“Maybe
you’ve lost your goddamn mind.” I clear my throat, and my voice grows deeper.
“You’re my date. Your panties will remain untouched.” I jerk my thumb toward
her planner in the backseat. “Put it in there, circle it with a red marker, and
don’t forget.”
She huffs.
“What about Leanne, the girl you’ve already asked to prom?”
Shit. I
fucking forgot about Leanne.
“She can either be your sister-date or kick rocks.”
“I am not
having a sister-date,” she shrieks.
“Looks like
she’ll be kicking rocks then. I’ll bribe her to go with someone else.”
Murphy
is available.
“I can’t
believe I speak to you.”
“You. Me.
Prom.” I lean over and kiss her cheek before turning on the car. “My mom is
making tacos tonight. You coming over for dinner?”
“Ugh, fine,
but I’m only coming for her and the tacos.”

Love Bank by Marika Ray






Title: Love Bank
Series: Jobs From Hell #1
Author: Marika Ray
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Cover Design: Rachel Connolly
Release Date: February 6, 2020




Blurb

In hindsight, maybe I should have known my biggest
nemesis would end up locking up my heart.




Believe it or not, running a fertility clinic in Auburn Hill, located right
next to a prison, isn’t the worst thing. Nope, the worst thing is the
infuriatingly sexy warden of the new prison - who doesn’t care that his
newly-released inmates are stopping by my clinic on their way out of town to
make a “deposit” for some quick cash. Sure, it’s his circus, but according to
him, those clowns aren’t his responsibility once they walk out the door.



Until one of them pulls a gun on me in a desperate robbery attempt and I
realize I have to be a little more…ahem…persuasive with the warden. Stumbling
upon him in a compromising position is just the leverage I need, and I’m not
above a little blackmail. Turns out, he’s not above pushing me up against the
door and kissing the hell out of me either.



Adding in ex-lovers, magical goats, scheming mayors, gossiping mail carriers, a
man-hating mother, and nonstop seagull shenanigans makes me realize one thing.



Don’t bank on love developing here in Auburn Hell.

Excerpt



She pulled back
abruptly and whisked the stack of paper off my desk. She slapped one of the
flyers on my chest and walked back toward the door like that was the end of
things.
I was getting real sick and tired of her discombobulating me like that. As a
jail guard and now warden, I was used to people listening to me. I should be
ending the conversation. Other people should jump to do my bidding. This role
reversal was like one of those plastic tags on brand-new clothing that you
accidentally leave in the fabric, causing it to scrape against your skin and
lead to all kinds of irritation.
I hopped out of my chair and followed her, intent on putting my foot down like
a man, while also placating her so she didn’t run to our fellow citizens and
complain about me. I was dancing a fine line, but I was willing to two-step if
for no other reason than to make sure Lucille didn’t get away with blackmail.
Not on my watch.
As I stalked after her, I glanced down at the flyer, doing a double take when I
saw the picture right smack dab in the center of the piece of paper.
“Come donate to the Coastal Fertility Bank” in all capital letters, centered
over a picture of a specimen cup. But upon closer scrutiny, it wasn’t just any
specimen cup. It was my specimen cup. With my goddamn name on it for all the
world to see.
My feet halted their movement. Every single cell in my body flared to life with
a stress signal. A state of emergency was declared inside my body, flooding my
vision with a bright haze of red. My fingers tingled.
I was going to kill her.
The paper started to shake. Right before I crumpled it into my fist and tossed
it to the ground. I looked up at her over by the door, seeing an entire ream of
papers in her hand, all printed with my specimen cup front and center.
She cocked a hip and even with a level of anger I hadn’t felt in a very long
time pulsing through my body, I noticed. I noted every little thing about her
from her stiletto heels to the hair on her head that was finally down and so
luscious I wanted to grab hold of it and tug.
Hard.
“Oops. It’s pretty fuzzy. I’m sure people won’t be able to make out your name.
Besides, I only put them up on a few poles on Brinestone Way so far.”
She wrinkled her pretty little nose and I took a step toward her. Then another.
She’d already put them up?
Her eyes widened a fraction, seeing me advance on her. She waved the flyers
around confidently, like she still had the upper hand. And fuck it all to hell,
she did.
I didn’t like that. Not one bit.
Another step closer and some of that confidence faded.
“What are you doing?” Her voice hitched in the middle.
Another step and she backed up quickly.
One final step to put me toe to toe with her and she reared her head back, eyes
wary, cheeks flushed. Her back pressed against my closed door and she couldn’t
run. The devil in me, the one she’d backed into a corner with her blackmailing
schemes, stood up and announced himself the winner of this situation. All I had
to do was show her I wouldn’t be messed with.
“This.”
I did what every hot-blooded male does when they’re so mad at a woman they
can’t see straight.
I indulged in revenge.
My hand lifted, my fist releasing only long enough to drag my fingers through
her hair and clench again, forcing her head to tip back with my forceful tug.
My arm slid around her waist and in the back of my mind, I memorized the feel
of her body pressed between me and the door. She gasped upon contact and I took
full advantage.
My lips crashed down onto hers, their only mission to subdue and humiliate. My
tongue swiped a taste of her lips and all hell broke loose. The red alert
inside my body changed in an instant. Instead of wanting to eliminate her, I
wanted to consume her right then and there so she’d always be a part of me. I
wanted to breathe the same air and coexist in the same space as her body, just
so I never had to let go of her silky skin. She fit perfectly against me, her
curves smashed against my chest, her lips perfectly pliant as I explored.
A groan rent the air and I feared it was mine.

A Drummer in Red by Gordon Saunders


YA Historical Fiction
Published Date: 1-8-20
Publisher: INtense Publications LLC

 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

Lewis Elliot and his mother, Stella, are forced to flee their Baltimore home for the modest farm of their cousins in Gloucester County, Virginia. They arrive just as the feared Lord Cornwallis and the hated Colonel Banastre Carleton take up residence in Gloucester Point and across the York River in Yorktown. The war heats up as Cornwallis fortifies Yorktown and Carleton begins foraging raids in Gloucester County.

Then, while Lewis and his cousins, Lloyd and Tetty, are off to Gloucester Courthouse to try to sell enough tobacco to provide for the family, Carleton raids the farm and Stella receives a life-threatening injury.

Through battle, betrayal, unexpected alliances, and, apparently, the Hand ofGod, Lewis and his cousins and friends take a role in the events leading to Cornwallis’s surrender on October 19, 1781, after the last major battle of the Revolutionary War.

Excerpt

"Why
didn't you tell me that you were a virgin?'


I fling my arm over my eyes. "So sorry to disappoint."


"You're sorry?"

He grabs my arm and wrenches it away from my face.
"Don't you dare say that."
His chest heaves.
His color is high. His eyes blaze at me. He looks like... a man possessed.
A fierce emotion twists my gut. "You're angry?"
"Angry?" His voice lowers to a growl, "That’s an
understatement."
I blink, trying to form my thoughts into words, then give up.
He pins back his ears which I swear have elongated further in the last few
seconds.
"I am your first, do you know how that makes me feel?"
He bares his teeth and his canines drop.
"Umm, good?" My voice cracks.
"What was that?" A vein throbs at his temple.
That's not a positive sign, is it?
I clear my throat. "It makes you feel... good?"
He leans in close enough for our eyelashes to kiss, "It makes me want to
tie you down and make love to you until you can't walk straight for days...”

Catalyst by Tracy Richardson


The cover was designed by my son, Alex Katsaropoulos of the band Verluna
Young Adult Science Fiction
Date to be Published: June 2, 2020

 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png


Marcie Horton has a sixth sense. Not in the “I see dead people” way, but . . . well, maybe a little. She feels a sort of knowing about certain things that can’t be explained—an intuition that goes beyond the normal. Then there was that one summer four years ago, when she connected with a long-departed spirit . . . But nothing that incredible has happened to Marcie since.

This summer, Marcie is spending time working at Angel Mounds, the archeological dig her mother heads, along with her brother, Eric, and his girlfriend, Renee. The dig is the site of an ancient indigenous civilization, and things immediately shift into the paranormal when Marcie and her dig teammates meet Lorraine and Zeke. The two mysterious dig assistants reveal their abilities to access the Universal Energy Field with their minds—something Marcie knows only vaguely that her brother has also had experience with. Marcie learns how our planet will disintegrate if action is not taken, and she and her team must decide if they are brave enough to help Lorraine and Zeke in their plan to save Mother Earth, her resources, and her history.

It looks like the summer just got a lot more interesting.


About the Author


Tracy wasn’t always a writer, but she was always a reader. Her favorite book growing up was A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle. In a weird way, her life reflects the book through odd synchronicities. She has a degree in Biology like Mrs. Murry and without realizing it she named her children Alex and Katie after Meg’s parents. (Really, it was not intentional, because that would be weird)! Tracy uses her science background in her writing through her emphasis on environmental issues and metaphysics. Growing up, Tracy’s younger brothers called her ‘sarge’ and once when she took a personality test for a job, the evaluator said she could give a Drill Sargent a run for his money. If you need someone to boss your around, Tracy’s your gal! Tracy lives in Indianapolis.
