gripping new novel, a young woman comes home to reclaim her life—even as
a murderer plots to end it. . .</b>
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><br />It’s been ten years since Sasha Keaton left her West
Virginia hometown . . . since she escaped the twisted serial killer
known as the Groom. Returning to help run her family inn means being
whole again, except for one missing piece. The piece that falls into
place when Sasha’s threatened—and FBI agent Cole Landis vows to protect
her the way he couldn’t a decade ago.<br /><br />First one woman disappears;
then another, and all the while, disturbing calling cards are left for
the sole survivor of the Groom’s reign of terror. Cole’s never forgiven
himself for not being there when Sasha was taken, but he intends to make
up for it now . . . because under the quirky sexiness Cole first fell
for is a steely strength that only makes him love Sasha more.<br /><br />But someone is watching. Waiting. And Sasha’s first mistake could be her last.</span></span></i></span></div>

<span id="freeText820083004236153175"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I really enjoyed this! Even if it did almost give me nightmares while I was awake. </span></span><br />
<span id="freeText820083004236153175"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Second chance romance is my favorite trope and this one did not disappoint. It had all of the components I love about a JLA book: humor, romance, and swoon. But TILL DEATH also has elements of mystery and hide-behind-your-fingers-suspense. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span id="freeText820083004236153175"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Read it!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span id="freeText820083004236153175"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And then enjoy a TILL DEATH inspired cupcake. </span></span><br />

<span id="freeText820083004236153175"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I made flesh colored fondant by adding a few drops of brown food gel, working it in until I reached the desired Average White Girl color I wanted. </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="freeText820083004236153175"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I prefer gels to traditional food coloring because gel doesn't change the consistency of whatever you're making. It's also concentrated so you use less. You can do this by hand, or use can use a stand mixer with a dough hook. </span></span></div>

But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren’t just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia—and possibly the known universe—is in their hands.</span></span></i></span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> The author of Into the Blue and Fly with Me returns with the newest, hot and high-flying Wild Aces romance...</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A year after losing her husband, Joker, the squadron commander of the Wild Aces, Dani Peterson gets an offer from his best friend, Alex “Easy” Rogers, to help fix up her house. Dani accepts, and their friendship grows—along with an undeniable attraction.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Racked by guilt for loving his best friend’s widow, Easy’s caught between what he wants and can’t have. Until one night everything changes, and the woman who’s always held his heart ends up in his arms. Yet as Easy leaves for his next deployment, he and Dani are torn between their feelings and their loyalty to Joker’s memory. </span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But when Dani discovers something that sends them both into a spin, the conflicted lovers must overcome the past to navigate a future together…</span></span></i><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Let me tell you a story about how badly I wanted this book...I happened
to be in the car, riding shotgun while the 16yo drove to his college
class, when my phone dinged, alerting me to a new email. I opened it,
saw Easy's NG widget, and proceeded to FREAK THE CRAP OUT, scaring the
bejeebus out of my boys and the woman in the car next to us. (If she
knew why, she'd have been excited too, just saying.)<br /><br />Then, after
practically shoving the oldest out of the driver's seat with a wave and
a, "Hope class goes well! See ya later, bye!", I spent 20 minutes
driving around, my laptop open on the 12yo's lap, desperately searching
for the nearest Wi-Fi. (Waiting 2 hours until I could go home and
download it was not an option.) Starbucks came to my rescue--or rather,
their parking lot did. I downloaded it, sent it to my Kindle and my
phone, and then had to WAIT to read it. <br /><br />Talk about torture.<br /><br />Once
I started, I couldn't stop, nor did I want to. I thoroughly enjoyed the
first 2 books, but this, THIS is the story I have been waiting for! I
stayed up well past my bedtime, convinced Chanel Cleeton was trying to
kill me. My heart broken for these characters. I wanted them to heal. I
needed them to find happiness and to start living again.<br /><br />I was not disappointed!<br /><br />YOU
GUYS, Chanel Cleeton handled this story and it's characters, both of
whom are struggling with grief and misplaced guilt, with grace and
empathy. She broke my heart and stitched back together again. <br /><br />Easy and Dani's relationship is complicated and painful, but their journey is hopeful too, and heart-achingly romantic! <br /><br />Read it. </span><br />

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia, a contemporary romance full of loss, love and redemption…</span></span></i></span></b></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Seventeen year-old Frankie Devereux would do anything to forget the past. Haunted by the memory of her boyfriend’s death, she lives her life by one dangerous rule: nothing matters. At least, that’s what Frankie tells herself after a reckless mistake forces her to leave her privileged life in the Heights to move in with her dad―an undercover cop. She transfers to public school in the Downs, where fistfights in the halls don’t faze anyone and illegal street racing is more popular than football.</span></span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Marco Leone is the fastest street racer in the Downs. Tough, sexy, and hypnotic, he makes it impossible for Frankie to ignore him . . . and how he makes her feel. But the risks Marco takes for his family could have devastating consequences for them both. When Frankie discovers his secret, she has to make a choice. Will she let the pain of the past determine her future? Or will she risk what little she has left to follow her heart?</span></span></i></span></div>

that live in the mirrors of Briar Hill hospital. In the mirrors that
line its grand hallways, which once belonged to a princess. In those
that reflect the elegant rooms, now filled with sick children. It is her
secret.<br /><br />One morning, when Emmaline climbs over the wall of the
hospital’s abandoned gardens, she discovers something incredible: a
white horse with broken wings has left the mirror-world and entered her
own. <br /><br />Tucked into the garden’s once-gleaming sundial, Emmaline
finds a letter from the Horse Lord. He is hiding the wounded white
horse, named Foxfire, from a dark and sinister force—a Black Horse who
hunts by colorless moonlight. If Emmaline is to keep the Black Horse
from finding her new friend, she must collect colorful objects with
which to blind him. But where can Emmaline find color when her world is
filled with gray?</span></span></span></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love when a story so fully captures my attention it becomes difficult to think about anything else, which is exactly the effect The Secret Horses of Briar Hill had on me. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's fairy-tale quality had me side-eying the mirrors in my house, much the same way I still check every wardrobe for the way into Narnia. (None of the wardrobes on display at my local IKEA are magical and sadly, none of the mirrors held any winged horses either---just in case you were wondering.) And it's colorful blend of historical fiction and magical realism inspired me to make cupcakes with marshmallow fondant horses with shimmery wings. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Foxfire inspired the rainbow cupcakes. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I started with a vanilla cake recipe, separated the
batter into 6 bowls and dyed them the colors of the rainbow. I use
food gels you can buy from a cake supply or craft store. Traditional
food coloring doesn't produce as vibrant a color and will change the
consistency and taste of your batter and/or your frosting. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I’ve never been good at giving advice. Mostly because I never feel fully qualified to give advice. What do I know, really? One thing I know for sure: writing is hard. Writing Frazzled certainly was! More often than not, I questioned whether anyone would want to read about this flustered, fictionalized version of my younger self trying to figure out who she was. So while I may not feel qualified to give proper writing advice, what I can do is share 5 freak-outs I had while working on this book (in doodle form, of course) and talk about what I learned from those freak-outs. Here goes!

<span style="color: #990000;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"></span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span></span></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Life can be crazy. There never seems to be enough time to write and/or you never feel like you’ve accomplished enough in the time you’ve set aside! I learned that it’s important to make time to devote to your work and concentrate on using that time the best you can. Also, it’s good not to put too much pressure on what you are producing or feel unsatisfied by how you spent that time. The important part is that you give yourself space to be creative!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some writers set word count goals they want to reach each day, while others choose to schedule blocks of time to focus on writing. Do what works best for you! Different people choose to do this in different ways, but it’s safe to say that every writer has to be intentional about protecting their time. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Writers block hits everyone—and I mean everyone. It hit me hard with Frazzled. The danger of writers block is not necessarily the work you lose when you’re stuck in it, but the much deeper effect that it has on your confidence and resilience as a writer. It’s easy to lose sight of why you’re writing or give up altogether.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I say we collectively learn to embrace writers block. Rather than fearing it or dwelling on it, maybe it’s better to just find ways to work around it. That can mean shifting attention to another project, getting some outside perspective on your work, or even just cutting yourself some slack and taking a break. There isn’t one simple way of getting over writers block, but I know it can be done!</span></span><br />

</span></span></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sometimes it just feels like you’re running in circles and you’ll never finish! Empty pages seem so empty and the little letters clumping together to form words and sentences don’t seem nearly big enough to fill all that blank space. I know this feeling. There were so many times when I thought I would never finish this book—but here it is, complete!
It’s challenging when you’re faced with all the pages you haven’t filled and it looks like there’s no end in sight, but sometimes looking back at what you’ve already accomplished can be encouraging! It’s good to get perspective and keep in mind that writing a book is a long process. Perseverance is key!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Writing itself is hard enough, but sometimes, it can also feel really lonely and isolating. While working on Frazzled, there were definitely moments that made me doubt whether or not I could pull it off. I have so many doodles illustrating all my frustrating moments. But if doodling was my way of releasing my fears, then drawing strength from the people around me was what helped me move past them.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I’ve learned that the best way to combat all the uncertainties is to surround yourself with people who will encourage and support you in different ways. Besides friends and family, finding community with other writers can be a great way to connect with people who understand how confusing, rewarding, and maddening the creative process can be!</span></span><br />

Do not dismiss or devalue your creative work.</span></span></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">No matter what, creative work is still work. I used to dismiss a lot of my writing and drawing because I was embarrassed it wasn't good enough or I was afraid people would think I was just a total fraud. So I just wrote it off like it didn't matter and like it wasn't important—it didn’t “count.” But the truth is, everything counts!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you're taking the time to be creative and you're making something—that takes time. That takes effort. That takes heart! You could be binge watching something on Netfix or playing Minecraft or taking a nap, but instead you're choosing to do work. Nothing can take away the value of that action. Doing the work is the only way anyone gets better, so don’t disregard the importance of your efforts and just keep working! </span></span><br />

In the aftermath, Caroline can't help but wonder what Ethan knows about everything that happened to her brother, who is not readjusting well to life at home. And although Ethan is desperate for a friend, he can't see Caroline without experiencing a resurgence of traumatic memories. </i></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /> This was one of those rare times when a book affected me both as a reader and as a parent. <br /><br />Much like Jennifer Mathieu's two previous books, <i>The Truth About Alice</i> and <i>Devoted</i>, this story was difficult to read at times. It was awkward, uncomfortable, and the rawness of Ethan and Caroline's emotions hurt. <b>But it's also story filled with forgiveness, healing, and hope. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Jennifer Mathieu is an English teacher, writer, wife, and mom who writes books for and about young adults. My debut novel, THE TRUTH ABOUT ALICE, was published by Roaring Brook Press on June 3, and my second book, DEVOTED, came out in June of 2015.<br /> <br /> My third novel, AFTERWARD, about two small town Texas teenagers whose lives are linked by a terrifying crime, will be out in September 2016.<br /> <br /> My favorite things include chocolate, pepperoni pizza, and this super hilarious 1980s sitcom about four retired women called The Golden Girls. I can basically quote every episode.<br /> <br /> I live with my husband, son, one rescue dog, and one old kitty cat.<br /> <br /> When it comes to what I read, I love realistic young adult fiction (duh), creative nonfiction, super scandalous tell-all memoirs and unauthorized biographies, and basically anything that hooks me on the first page.</span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>From
the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places comes
a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see someone—and love
someone—for who they truly are.</b></span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Everyone
thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed “America’s Fattest
Teen.” But no one’s taken the time to look past her weight to get to
know who she really is. Following her mom’s death, she’s been picking up
the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken
father and her own grief. Now, Libby’s ready: for high school, for new
friends, for love, and for EVERY POSSIBILITY LIFE HAS TO OFFER. In that
moment, I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be
the girl who can do anything. </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"></span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Everyone
thinks they know Jack Masselin, too. Yes, he’s got swagger, but he’s
also mastered the impossible art of giving people what they want, of
fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a newly acquired secret:
he can’t recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him.
He’s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything in new and bad-ass
ways, but he can’t understand what’s going on with the inner workings
of his brain. So he tells himself to play it cool: Be charming. Be
hilarious. Don’t get too close to anyone.</span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"></span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Until
he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school
game—which lands them in group counseling and community service—Libby
and Jack are both pissed, and then surprised. Because the more time they
spend together, the less alone they feel. . . . Because sometimes when
you meet someone, it changes the world, theirs and yours.</span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"></span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Jennifer
Niven delivers another poignant, exhilarating love story about finding
that person who sees you for who you are—and seeing them right back.</span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">By the time I was ten, I had already written numerous songs, a poem for Parker Stevenson ("If there were a Miss America for men, You would surely win"), two autobiographies (All About Me and My Life in Indiana: I Will Never Be Happy Again), a Christmas story, several picture books (which I illustrated myself) featuring the Doodle Bugs from Outer Space, a play about Laura Ingalls Wilder's sister entitled Blindness Strikes Mary, a series of prison mysteries, a collection of short stories featuring me as the main character (an internationally famous rock star detective), and a partially finished novel about Vietnam. I was also an excellent speller from a very early age.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In 2000, I started writing full-time, and I haven't stopped... I've written nine books (#9 will be out Oct 4, 2016), and when I'm not working on the tenth, I'm writing the screenplay for All the Bright Places, contributing to my web magazine, Germ (<a href="http://www.germmagazine.com/">www.germmagazine.com</a>), thinking up new books, and dabbling in TV. I am always writing.<span id="freeText2200016230774952667"><i> </i></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Being on
the run in the desert means food and sanctuary are hard to come by, but
Amber Tate and her crew are not about to give up. Not after having so
many of the things they love brutally ripped from them by an unknown
enemy who sent their world into the apocalypse.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Survival
takes precedence, but once safe shelter is found, their guards fall and
the emotions they’ve been holding in are finally released. Anger,
insecurities...lust. In their tight quarters, Amber, Rylen, Tater, and
Remy can't escape it. The past must be faced, and passions run even
stronger in the darkest of times.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In
the midst of unrest, their worlds are rocked again when they discover
the truth about the war that’s ruined their lives. They thought finding
out the enemy's identity would give them the edge; instead it’s revealed
terrifying dangers they never thought possible.</span></span></i></span><b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></b></div>

<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Three minutes.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Jacob Palmer died for three life-changing minutes.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And when he woke up, nothing was the same. Elijah, his twin brother, is dead, and his family is broken. Jace’s planned future is crushed, along with his pitching arm. Everyone keeps telling him that Eli’s in a better place, but Jace isn’t so sure. Because in those three minutes, there was nothing.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Overwhelmed by guilt and doubt, Jace struggles to adjust to this new version of the world, one without his brother, one without the certainties he once relied on. And then Thera comes into his life.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">She’s the last girl he should be turning to for help.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But she’s also the first person to truly see him.</span></span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>My Thoughts: </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Stacey Kade takes an honest, realistic look at family, faith, and the
importance of discovering for yourself what you believe.
No one can do it for you. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Jace and Eli are PKs
(Preacher's Kids). As so often happens to offspring of religious
leaders, they've been cast in their roles as Sinner and Saint. They're
held to a higher moral standard, expected to always make the right
choice, but aren't afforded the same forgiveness and grace as their peers
when they don't. Neither is Thera. Everyone thinks they have her and
her mother all figured out. They would be wrong.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Eli is
the one everyone loves, depends on and respects. He's the one expected
to do great things with his life. And Jace? Well, it'd be awesome if he
could manage to stay out of trouble just once. When Eli dies leaving
everyone, Jace included, with too many questions and not enough answers,
Thera may be the only person who can help. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I was
convinced I knew what the twist was, but like they say, pride goes
before a fall. ;) I'm glad I was wrong, it made for a more compelling
story.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Piper Dove is a woman with a dream—to become the best detective in the city of Chicago. First job? Trail former Chicago Stars quarterback, Cooper Graham. Problem? Graham’s spotted her, and he’s not happy. </span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Which is why a good detective needs to think on her feet. “The fact is...I’m your stalker. Not full-out barmy. Just...mildly unhinged.”</span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Piper soon finds herself working for Graham himself, although not as the bodyguard he refuses to admit he so desperately needs. Instead, he’s hired her to keep an eye on the employees at his exclusive new nightclub. But Coop’s life might be in danger, and Piper’s determined to protect him, whether he wants it or not. (Hint: Not!) If only she weren’t also dealing with a bevy of Middle Eastern princesses, a Pakistani servant girl yearning for freedom, a teenager who just wants to fit in, and an elderly neighbor demanding Piper find her very dead husband.</span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And then there’s Cooper Graham himself, a legendary sports hero who always gets what he wants—even if what he wants is a feisty detective hell bent on proving she’s as tough as he is. </span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">From the bustling streets of Chicago to a windswept lighthouse on Lake Superior to the glistening waters of Biscayne Bay, two people who can’t stand to lose will test themselves and each other to discover what matters most.</span></span></i></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: black;">It was a lot of fun being back in the world of the Chicago Stars! While this <i>is</i> part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone. Fast-paced, interesting, romantic and funny. <i>First Star I See Tonight</i> is everything I've come to expect from a SEP novel. </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: black;">Piper is a no-nonsense, shrewd business woman. She's comfortable in her own skin and doesn't give one iota about Cooper Graham's appearance or his star power. Not at first anyway. Things change once she gets to know him. Cooper Graham---Coop is a trip! The opening scene had me laughing out loud. He too, knows what he wants and what he doesn't, and Piper Dove is not his type. Until she is. </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: black;">Watching the two of them work together while trying not to fall for each other was entertaining. And the Epilogue was great!</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: black;">One of the things I enjoy about SEPs characters is, her heroines can survive all on their own. They aren't damsels in distress, they don't <i>need</i> a man--a hero to complete them. And her heroes are often attracted to the heroines strengths, not just a great pair of legs. When the two eventually do fall in love, it's a true partnership. </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

books of Susan Elizabeth Phillips provide a “gateway drug to the whole

calls her “the crown jewel of romantic comedy writers,” which is
definitely a good thing. Since she wrote her first novel on a typewriter
in her kitchen, her books have been published in over 30 languages and
appear on bestseller lists all over the world. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span id="freeTextauthor41313"><br />In addition to being a
New York Times, Publisher’s Weekly, and USA Today bestseller, she is a
hiker, lazy gardener, horrible singer, passable cook, passionate reader,
wife, mother of two grown sons, and grandmother of two adorable little
ones. Her newest book, HEROES ARE MY WEAKNESS, is now available in
paperback. Susan is excited to announce her next book FIRST STAR I SEE
TONIGHT, the next edition in the CHICAGO STARS SERIES, will be released

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span id="freeText10635311331522527531">Amber Tate believes the
worst thing she’ll suffer in life is dealing with the unrequited love
she feels for her brother’s best friend, Rylen Fite. She also believes
war is something unfortunate that happens places far, far away from her
rural Nevada town. She’s wrong on both counts.<br /><br />When an unknown
organization meticulously bombs major cities in the United States and
across the globe, a trickle-down effect spreads to remaining towns at an
alarming speed—everything from food and water sources to technology and
communications are compromised. Without leadership, the nation is split
between paralysis and panic, but Amber isn’t one to hide or watch
helplessly. She’s determined to put her nursing skills to use, despite
the danger, even if it means working alongside the man she can never
have. <br /><br />In this first installment of NY Times bestselling author,
Wendy Higgins’s debut New Adult series, a frighteningly realistic
apocalyptic America is brought to life, entwined with searing romantic
tension that will leave you eager for more.</span></i> </span></div>

And Phoebe is definitely not ready for the Stars' head coach, former gridiron legend Dan Calebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. Calebow is everything Phoebe abhors. And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises—a meddling bimbo who doesn't know a pigskin from a pitcher's mound.<br /><br />So why is Dan drawn to the shameless sexpot like a heat-seeking missile? And why does the coach's good ol' boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied . . . and ready to fight?</i><br /><br /> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Molly Somerville knows she has a reputation for trouble. She did give away her fifteen-million-dollar inheritance, but, hey, nobody's perfect. Still, if anyone has an almost perfect life, it's Molly. While her Daphne the Bunny children's books could be selling better, she loves her cramped loft, her French poodle, and her career creating the fictional animals who live in Nightingale Woods. She even loves her sister, Phoebe. <br /><br />True, it was a little tough growing up in her shadow. Phoebe is beautiful, blissfully married, and the owner of the most successful professional football team in America. But who other than your sister knows you're about to do something drastic every time you change your hair? Yes, Molly's happy about almost everything ... except her long-term crush on the daredevil quarterback for the Chicago Stars, that awful, gorgeous Kevin Tucker, a man who can't even remember her name!<br /><br />One night Molly's penchant for running into trouble runs right into Kevin himself, turning her world upside down. Heartbreak follows, and just when she's certain things can't get worse, Kevin forces his way back into her life. If only the overpaid, Ferrari-driving, poodle-hating jock was as shallow as she wants him to be, she could get on with her almost perfect life. But Kevin's hidden depths and iron will propel Molly out of her comfortable existence into an unforgettable summer at a place called Wind Lake. Surrounded by paintbox cottages and a charming old bed-and-breakfast, she and Kevin battle their attraction while trying to cope with an aging sexpot actress, a cranky world-famous artist, and a pair of teenage newlyweds.<br /><br />Their careers and lives are in crisis ... yet they can't seem to stay away from each other. Before the summer is over, will they be able to learn one of life's most important lessons? Sometimes falling in love hurts, sometimes it makes you mad as hell, and sometimes if you're very lucky it can heal in the most special and unexpected way. </i></span></span><br />

And to make an extraordinary match, he needs an extraordinary matchmaker, right?<br /><br />Soon everyone in Chicago has a stake in the outcome, and a very big question: When the determined matchmaker promised she'd do anything to keep her star client happy...did she mean anything?

Dove is a woman with a dream—to become the best detective in the city

Graham. Problem? Graham’s spotted her, and he’s not happy. <br /><br />Which
is why a good detective needs to think on her feet. “The fact is...I’m
your stalker. Not full-out barmy. Just...mildly unhinged.”<br /><br />Piper
soon finds herself working for Graham himself, although not as the

hired her to keep an eye on the employees at his exclusive new
nightclub. But Coop’s life might be in danger, and Piper’s determined to
protect him, whether he wants it or not. (Hint: Not!) If only she
weren’t also dealing with a bevy of Middle Eastern princesses, a
Pakistani servant girl yearning for freedom, a teenager who just wants

sports hero who always gets what he wants—even if what he wants is a
feisty detective hell bent on proving she’s as tough as he is. <br /><br />From
the bustling streets of Chicago to a windswept lighthouse on Lake
Superior to the glistening waters of Biscayne Bay, two people who can’t

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Bailey Hartwell has many reasons to feel content—her successful business, a close circle of friends, and her steady boyfriend…even if their romance feels staid after ten years without a serious commitment. The only challenge in her life comes in the form of sexy businessman Vaughn Tremaine. She thinks the ex-New Yorker acts superior and that he considers her a small-town nobody. But when Bailey’s blindsided by a betrayal, she’s shocked to discover Vaughn is actually a decent guy. </span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Vaughn admires Bailey’s free spirit, independence, and loyalty. As his passion for her has grown, his antagonism toward her has only worsened. Every little thing Bailey does seduces him. But when Vaughn’s painful emotional past makes him walk away in fear he will hurt her, it opens an old wound in Bailey, and she uncharacteristically retreats.</span></span></i></div>

like Jack and Grace: he has looks and wealth, she has charm and

because you realize Jack and Grace are never apart. Some might call this
true love.<br /><br />Picture this: a dinner party at their perfect home,
the conversation and wine flowing. They appear to be in their element
while entertaining. And Grace's friends are eager to reciprocate with
lunch the following week. Grace wants to go, but knows she never will.
Her friends call—so why doesn't Grace ever answer the phone? And how can
she cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim?<br /><br />And why are there bars on one of the bedroom windows?<br /><br />The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie?</span></span></i></span><br />

Now to stay together they’ll have to unite their people against a common enemy, a threat more deadly than they ever imagined. (NBD, right?) I’ve written an ending to this trilogy that makes my heart happy, and I hope you’ll love the conclusion as much as I do<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>!</b></span></span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">With the clock ticking, Aelyx and Cara assemble a team of colonists and race back to Earth, where they unite with old friends to solve the mystery of who the Aribol are, what they want, and the real reason the alliance has provoked them. As tensions build to a full-scale war, Aelyx and Cara must fight harder than ever―not just for their future, but for the survival of both their worlds.</span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> ~ Guest Post ~</b></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>QUESTION FOR LIA</b>:</span> As women, we tend to focus on what we consider to be our flaws, things we don't like about ourselves, or what we wish we could change. What is one thing you (as Lia) like about yourself and why?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Lia:</b></span> <i>It is perhaps a bit odd, but what others might consider my flaw, I consider a strength: My mouth. I tend to say what I’m thinking. I know at times, I don’t choose the best timing, but sometimes the best timing never comes. We dance around words like they are fragile goblets. I am not afraid to break a goblet or two.</i></span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I like this aspect about myself because I see how often voices can be quashed and told they don’t matter. Every voice matters. Mine does too.</span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Griz, a Rahtan soldier, recently tried to “override” my voice. I set him straight. A lot of goblets were broken in that conversation. </span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And then there’s the Komizar. He tried to steal my voice entirely. We know how that turned out for him. Sometimes more than a goblet breaks.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Every woman has different strengths. We should celebrate them all and not focus on the flaws. My friend Pauline, for instance, has a quiet voice but a mean streak when it comes to loyalty. And Gwyneth, she is one savvy and perceptive lady. And then there’s Berdi who is intensely practical, and dependable. These women are my army--even when we are separated by hundreds of miles. I feel very fortunate to call them my friends. Why dwell on flaws?</span></span></i><br />
<br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's survival of the strongest in a contemporary, girl-versus-wild middle-grade debut from Fire & Flood author Victoria Scott! </span></span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sloan is a hunter.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So she shouldn't be afraid of anything. But ever since her mom left the family and she lost hearing in one ear in a blizzard, it's been hard to talk to people, and near-impossible to go anywhere or do anything without her dad or big sister within eyesight -- it makes her too scared to be on her own.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When they leave her home alone for what should only be two nights, she's already panicked. Then the snow starts falling and doesn't stop. One of her neighbors is hurt in an accident. And the few people still left in Rusic need to make it to the river and the boat that's tied there -- their only way to get to a doctor from their isolated Alaska town.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span></span></i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>But the woods are icy cold, and the wolves are hungry. Sloan and her group are running out of food, out of energy, and out of time. That's when the wolves start hunting them..</i>.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">While
Lily is spacing out in Chemistry one day, she picks up her pencil and
scribbles a line from one of her favorite songs on the desk. The next
day, someone else has written back to her on the desk! Soon enough Lily
and the mystery student are exchanging notes, and lyrics, and even
sharing secrets. When Lily finds out that her anonymous pen pal is a
guy, she's flustered -- and kind of feels like she's falling for him.
She and her best friend set out to unravel the identity of the letter
writer -- but when the truth is revealed, the guy is the LAST person
Lily could have ever imagined it to be. Now that Lily knows the truth,
can she untangle her feelings and gather the courage to listen to her
heart?</span></span></i></div>

in this world with Ivy, Ren, and especially Tink. I LOVE THAT LITTLE
FAIRY! (If I could order one of him off of Amazon Prime, I totally

civilization. (Hint: It isn't pretty.) The worst is the plan he has for

bestselling author J. R. Ward delivers the second novel in her Bourbon
Kings series—a sweeping saga of a Southern dynasty struggling to
maintain a façade of privilege and prosperity, while secrets and
indiscretions threaten its very foundation…</b><br /> <br /> In
Charlemont, Kentucky, the Bradford family is the crème de la crème of
high society—just like their exclusive brand of bourbon. And their
complicated lives and vast estate are run by a discrete staff who
inevitably become embroiled in their affairs. This is especially true
now, when the apparent suicide of the family patriarch is starting to
look more and more like murder…<br /> <br /> No one is above
suspicion—especially the eldest Bradford son, Edward. The bad blood
between him and his father is known far and wide, and he is aware that
he could be named a suspect. As the investigation into the death
intensifies, he keeps himself busy at the bottom of a bottle—as well as
with his former horse trainer’s daughter. Meanwhile, the family’s
financial future lies in the perfectly manicured hands of a business
rival, a woman who wants Edward all to herself.<br /> <br /> Everything has
consequences; everybody has secrets. And few can be trusted. Then, at
the very brink of the family’s demise, someone thought lost to them
forever returns to the fold. Maxwell Bradford has come home. But is he a
savior...or the worst of all the sinners?</span></span></i></span><br />

Jansen—call sign Thor—loves nothing more than pushing his F-16 to the
limit. Returning home to South Carolina after a tragic loss, he hopes to
fix the mistake he made long ago, when he chose the Air Force over his
fiancée.<br /><br />Becca Madison isn’t quick to welcome Thor back. She
can’t forget how he shattered her heart. But Thor won’t give up once
he’s set his sights on what he wants—and he wants Becca.<br /><br />Thor
shows Becca that he’s no longer the impulsive boy he used to be, and
Becca finds herself irresistibly drawn to him. But will Thor be able to
walk away from his dream of flying the F-16 for their love or does his
heart belong to the sky?</span></span></i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Second-chance-at-love stories are my favorite, and this one did not disappoint! Becca and Eric have a lot to overcome: their history, their careers, the prying eyes of their small town, but I enjoyed watching them work through their feeling and issues like adults. As with the first book in the series, there is plenty of humor, heart, and heat. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Originally a Florida girl, CHANEL CLEETON moved to London where she received a bachelor’s degree from Richmond, The American International University in London and a master’s degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Chanel fell in love with London and planned to stay there forever, until fate intervened on a Caribbean cruise and a fighter pilot with smooth dance moves swept her off her feet. Now, a happily ever after later, Chanel is living her next adventure. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Law school made Chanel realize she’d rather spend her days writing sexy stories than in a courtroom, and she hasn’t looked back since. An avid reader and hopeless romantic, she’s happiest curled up with a book. She has a weakness for handbags, her three pups, and her husband.

team, president of the Debate Club, contender for valedictorian:
Taylor’s always pushed herself to be perfect. After all, that’s what is
expected of a senator’s daughter. But one impulsive decision—one lie to
cover for her boyfriend—and Taylor’s kicked out of private school.
Everything she’s worked so hard for is gone, and now she’s starting over
at Hundred Oaks High.<br /><br />Soccer has always been Taylor’s escape
from the pressures of school and family, but it’s hard to fit in and
play on a team that used to be her rival. The only person who seems to
understand all that she’s going through is her older brother’s best
friend, Ezra. Taylor’s had a crush on him for as long as she can
remember. But it’s hard to trust after having been betrayed. Will Taylor
repeat her past mistakes or can she score a fresh start?</span></span></span></i></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I had a chance to read an early draft of this and I loved it: the characters, the family dynamic, the political aspect, and of course, Ezra! *Brb, fanning my face* <br /><br />Sometimes people do the wrong things for the rights reason, but that doesn't guarantee a positive outcome. No one understands that better than Taylor. The mistake she made had a ripple effect, one with no clear way out, and rebuilding trust with her family and her friends isn't easy. Good thing she has Ezra to help her figure it all out. ;)<br /><br />The return of previous characters is always a plus for me, (It lets me know they're happy and doing OK. I know, I'm weird.) but it's also fun to see how the entire series is connected. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Fans of The Hundreds Oaks series will not be disappointed! Read it. </span></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">~ Excerpt ~</span></span></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Before</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I was a little girl, Dad installed a gumball machine in our house. But instead of just giving me the candy, I had to pay for it by doing chores.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now I’m seventeen, and Dad hasn’t changed one bit. If I want a new purse, I start saving my allowance. My father made his own way in life and expects the same of me. He loves drilling mantras into my head: I will work hard at everything I do. I will model integrity and compassion. I will lead by example.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I will fully support his Senate reelection campaign.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To be honest, I don’t see him much. Only on parents’ weekend and holidays. His secretary schedules his rare visits to St. Andrew’s, my boarding school, so I know when my parents will be rolling onto campus. I know in advance to yank my plaid uniform skirt down a few inches and pull my sock up over my bluebird ankle tattoo.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I tell Ben not to hang around.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He is here on scholarship, and my mother never hesitates to let me know I can do better. Taylor, why don’t you spend time with Charles Harrington? The governor speaks highly of his nephew.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Mom wants me to date somebody with “proper breeding,” as if I’m a horse or we live in Regency England.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But it doesn’t matter what she thinks. I adore the boy who came over to congratulate me after I scored the winning goal against Winchester and then asked me to homecoming.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love my school in the mountains surrounded by thick green trees and blue skies. I love Card House—the dorm I share with the fourteen other girls on my soccer team—where every night, I sit down to lasagna or beef stew with a black lab named Oscar curled up at my feet.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I won’t lie—this school is tough. It kicks everybody’s ass. I study and study and study. I probably spend more time on homework than sleeping.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But who cares? St. Andrew’s is my favorite place in the world.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">“I can’t quite put my finger on what is so enthralling about Kenneally’s newest novel, but it totally sucked me in. I loved that Kenneally didn’t go with an easy, traditional happy-go-lucky ending. I also enjoyed the flawed nature of the characters, which made them feel more relatable. This is a great summer read and my favorite novel by Kenneally so far!” –RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars</span></span><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span></span></b></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span id="freeText7684759166785375505">From the author of Fly with Me and the Capital Confessions Novels comes the newest in the sexy Wild Aces Romance series.<br /><br />Eric
Jansen—call sign Thor—loves nothing more than pushing his F-16 to the
limit. Returning home to South Carolina after a tragic loss, he hopes to
fix the mistake he made long ago, when he chose the Air Force over his
fiancée.<br /><br />Becca Madison isn’t quick to welcome Thor back. She
can’t forget how he shattered her heart. But Thor won’t give up once
he’s set his sights on what he wants—and he wants Becca.<br /><br />Thor
shows Becca that he’s no longer the impulsive boy he used to be, and
Becca finds herself irresistibly drawn to him. But will Thor be able to
walk away from his dream of flying the F-16 for their love or does his
heart belong to the sky?</span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Originally
a Florida girl, CHANEL CLEETON moved to London where she received a
bachelor’s degree from Richmond, The American International University
in London and a master’s degree from the London School of Economics and
Political Science. Chanel fell in love with London and planned to stay
there forever, until fate intervened on a Caribbean cruise and a fighter
pilot with smooth dance moves swept her off her feet. Now, a happily
ever after later, Chanel is living her next adventure. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Law
school made Chanel realize she’d rather spend her days writing sexy
stories than in a courtroom, and she hasn’t looked back since. An avid
reader and hopeless romantic, she’s happiest curled up with a book. She
has a weakness for handbags, her three pups, and her husband.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>By:</b> Forge Books</span></span><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At fifteen, Amanda Grace was abducted on her way home from school. 738 days later, she escaped. Her 20/20 interview is what everyone remembers—Amanda describing the room where she was kept, the torn poster of TV heartthrob Chase Henry on the wall. It reminded her of home and gave her the strength to keep fighting.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now, years later, Amanda is struggling to live normally. Her friends have gone on to college, while she battles PTSD. She’s not getting any better, and she fears that if something doesn’t change soon she never will.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Six years ago, Chase Henry defied astronomical odds, won a coveted role on a new TV show, and was elevated to super-stardom. With it, came drugs, alcohol, arrests, and crazy spending sprees. Now he's sober and a Hollywood pariah, washed up at twenty-four.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To revamp his image, Chase’s publicist comes up with a plan: surprise Amanda Grace with the chance to meet her hero, followed by a visit to the set of Chase’s new movie. The meeting is a disaster, but out of mutual desperation, Amanda and Chase strike a deal. What starts as a simple arrangement, though, rapidly becomes more complicated when they realize they need each other in more ways than one. But when the past resurfaces in a new threat, will they stand together or fall apart? </span></span></i></span><br />
