I STILL REMEMBER STANDING OUTSIDE THE BLAZING HOUSE. I WASN'T SORRY.
Lydia Walker is a forensic photographer, trudging through life in the shadow of her traumatic past, when she is assigned a case centered around the gruesome murder of a camping couple. Her personal life begins to improve after a chance encounter that makes her feel like she's finally connected with someone, a fellow tortured soul named Adam.
As more victims are unearthed she discovers she has a personal connection to the case, her commitment to the case grows deeper, but her motives remain opaque to her colleagues. Will she sacrifice her reputation and her morality to explore her darker urges? Or will she uphold the justice system that failed her, and never held space for her.
Discover how to work with nature, instead of against it, by employing permaculture techniques to create a garden that is not just more beautiful and productive, but also more resilient.
While the word permaculture might sound intimidating, the principals behind it are not. The main goal of permaculture is to turn your space into a functioning ecosystem that's less reliant on external resources and better able to sustain itself through many seasons of growth and change as it resists pests, diseases, and climate extremes. Whatever the size of your space, from a tiny patio garden to a big backyard, and whether you grow food, flowers, shrubs, trees, or a combination of all, The Regenerative Garden is here to help you become a better, more eco-conscious gardener.
Through 80 DIY projects, author Stephanie Rose of the popular website Garden Therapy introduces you to basic backyard permaculture concepts in an easy-to-follow, logical way. Each of the six chapters represents a living element of the garden, capable of playing a valuable role in its constant regeneration, including soil, water, plants, climate, ethics, and community. As you check these projects off your to-do list, you'll find you've reduced your long-term work load, conserved water and other resources, turned your yard into a habitat for wildlife, and learned to grow perennial foods in creative ways.
The 80 featured projects include step-by-step instructions on how to:
A healthy, organic, regenerative garden is a perfect example of a self-sustaining ecosystem; everything works in tandem, is intricately connected, and comes full circle to create its own never-ending cycle of life.

Living in royalty can't be so bad, right? But what if you're not actually royal?
Marguerite is a ward of King Edouard of Totresia-a peaceful kingdom on the eastern border with France. After being found in a carriage wreck as a baby, she is beloved by the royal family; but many courtiers dislike her, distrusting of her unknown heritage. They disagree with her coveted title of Duchess of Torrinni; why was a girl with no proven noble blood gifted such high honors? With time, she becomes closer to Edouard's son, Crown Prince Antoine. When she develops feelings for him, tensions rise at court, as does the jealousy-especially from his mother, Queen Clémentine. Many envision them becoming betrothed, but others scheme to prevent that. Marguerite sees all that was promised to her compromised-safety, wealth, and a favorable marriage with Antoine-when tragedy strikes at the castle, and all her privileges are taken away. Stripped from the life she was used to, she's left to wait as others decide her ultimate fate.
Eros. Also known as Cupid. Greek god of love and sexual desire. Sometimes depicted as an adorable, chubby little boy with wings, carrying a bow and arrows, flying around merrily, making everyone fall in love. That's not Eros. Not anymore. Eros is mad. He's all grown up now. And he's on a mission to provoke chaos, starting with humans. Instead of producing love, his arrows now produce hunger. Actual hunger. Cannibalistic, beastly, monstrous hunger. Carnivorous. Is the world ready for a raging Eros? Who can stop the angry god of love from eradicating the human race, two soulmates at a time?***Magnificent cover by Stacey Willis
Psyche. Eros' wife. Once mortal, now a beloved goddess, revered among humans and deities alike. A beauty in the skies, a proper lady, always willing to lend a hand, give a shoulder to cry on, ears to vent into. Fiercely loyal to her husband, unbelievably proud of her daughter, Hedone. And she has disappeared. Hedone, too. Gone, vanished from Olympus without a trace, no inkling of how they left and why. No note, no apologies, no clue. But she's out there, oh yes. Sending deadly fumes into the earthly atmosphere. Toxic. Dangerous to all living things, hurtful to gods. Poisonous. Will she ever be found by her loved ones--and stopped? Who can save her from the whispers in her head and bring her home, to her family?
Rhea. Mother of Olympians. Goddess of motherhood and female fertility. A deity of comfort, of wisdom, of maturity. A fierce lioness, Rhea protects her children. She once helped toss her own husband into Tartarus to crown one of her sons king of the skies. But now, Rhea has succumbed to an evil voice in her head. She's on the prowl, hunting her family members, obeying the ominous commands in her mind that tell her to bite, drink, feast, intoxicate. She lurks about the halls of Olympus, seeking her next godly victim, attracted to the blue ichor running through its veins. And this ichor drives her mad. Parched. Ravenous. Will any of the gods uncover the truth behind her feedings? And is her famished behavior linked to the culprit controlling the gods via whispers in their ears? Who is out to destroy Olympus?
Did you hear the one about the woman who gets fired, then busted for speeding on a country road and falls for the cop who pulled her over?
Sergeant Jude Davis barely has enough hours in the day to protect and serve the small town of Kelly Lakes and take care of his ailing father. After his bitter divorce, he learned the hard way that he doesn't have time for romantic relationships.
If only he could get everyone to stop trying to set him up on blind dates...
When the grouchy officer pulled over a speeding driver, he wasn't prepared for Claudia. The sunshiney beauty is only in town long enough to nurse her professional wounds before heading back to Brooklyn. She's gorgeous, fiery, and everything he doesn't have time to enjoy.
Jude can't afford to get close to her, so no one is more shocked than he is when he finds himself asking her for a favor. A few fake public cuddles and longing looks should be enough to put off his determined matchmakers, right?
For the first time in years, this grumpy cop has something to smile about as the friendship develops certain benefits. But when Claudia's temporary stay takes a turn for the permanent, Jude has to face facts. He can't be the man she deserves...but he's definitely not willing to watch her end up with someone else.
Rewrite gripped me from the start and never let me go. Award-winning and Bestselling author, K.K. Allen
Rewrite is a STANDALONE novel.
Once upon a time, a girl loved a boy and he loved her back. They lived happily ever after.
But our story was never that simple.
I loved Josh with all I had, right until the day he left. Now, all these years later, he was back-and wanting me the way I'd always longed for him. Except now, I belonged to someone else. Someone who never left me the way Josh had. I figured that was the end of our story. I couldn't alter the past.
I didn't want to rewrite my future.
Brianna was always more than my best friend. She was the shining light in my black hole of an existence, and I loved her with every cell and bone in my body. I wasn't good enough for her, though-more the villain than the hero in our fairy tale. When I had to leave, I vowed to come back a better man-for her. But when I finally did return, she wasn't waiting for me anymore. She had someone new, her very own Prince Charming. Did that mean our story was over? I couldn't change our past.
It was time to rewrite our ending.
The only woman I've ever loved is the one I can't have.
Going from uncle to father overnight meant me moving back to my hometown after two decades away. Now, I'm trying to pick up the pieces and do right by a little girl who just wants her mom.
When my twentieth high school reunion rolls around, I come face-to-face with Emily, the ex whose heart I broke before she could break mine. Old feelings come rushing back, but I don't have time to grieve, let alone start a relationship.
Regardless of the palpable temptation to restore what we lost, all I can offer Emily is an apology and friendship.
But the lines I've drawn start to blur when she becomes my niece's soccer coach and I spend the entire season on the sidelines pretending I'm not wondering what might happen if we had a second chance.
Everything changes in one liquor-fueled night of confessions. I have no choice but to fight for Emily, for what we could have together. I've already wasted too much of my life without her in my arms, in my bed.
Maybe the second time's the charm...
Peyton
After a risky affair cost me my self-respect, my credibility, and almost my job, I jump at the guidance counselor position that opens up in Uncle Keith's small town. He's the only father I've ever really known and the one I can turn to-even when I can't tell him why.
No one here knows what a mess I am, and this clean slate seems perfect. At least until I run into my old crush, who's only gotten better looking with age.
I won't be another man's dirty little secret, even if that crush I had as a teenager blossomed into something much more-something I can't face.
Reasons Why Absolutely Nothing Can Happen Between Us:
Jake is the single dad of one of my new students.
Age gap. Age gap. Age gap.
He's my uncle's best friend.
Jake
I didn't realize the curvy brunette I flirted with outside my son's school was my buddy's sweet, shy niece, all grown-up now. I know better than to get involved.
My marriage crumbled, leaving me and my son with damage we're still repairing. The last thing I need is to start something with someone fourteen years younger. Did I mention she's the police chief's surrogate daughter?
I'm old enough to know better, but I can't keep my hands off her. I never expected to fall this hard. Even though it's all wrong, nothing has ever felt this right.
Author's Note: This deliciously scandalous, small-town, single dad standalone includes steamy times in front of a kitchen sink, a hot new use for a chocolate ice cream cone, and an alpha cinnamon-roll hero who's very good with his hands.
Tyler Bennett and I hate each other.
The annoying jerk my parents forced me to play with as a kid grew up to be a sexy, grumpy baker who still can't stand me. Sure, maybe I enjoy our bitter banter, his cocky smirk, his chocolate chip cookies. But there's a reason I can't play nice.
You're wondering why-if I hate the guy so much-did I agree to be his fake date to his cousin's wedding? Look. Just because I love being a pain in the man's well-formed butt doesn't mean I want someone else torturing him. Especially not the ex-fiancée who left him for his best friend.
One night of faking it takes an unexpected turn. Heated glances, lingering touches, that arrogant mouth against mine. One night of getting swept away in an attraction that maybe isn't so one-sided after all.
Aside from this new, tentative friendship laced with sexual tension, something else has grown out of that night.
And Tyler and I will have to figure it all out...in about nine months.
Author's note: Just One Favor is an enemies-to-lovers standalone romance with a hot side of longing, sexually-charged banter, a broken hotel bed, and chocolate cream pie.
Kristina
My accidental solo vacation takes a turn for the less-depressing after a drink that leads to a date with a brawny, bedroom-eyed firefighter. I'm 42, divorced, with two daughters at home. I thought romance was in my rearview mirror until the mysteriously intense Leo makes me feel like I'm the only woman in the Florida Keys.
I know better than to get attached. But between midnight kisses and dirty talk under starry skies, our connection feels so real. So right.
I can't give up my entire life for a fling. Not even for a man that reminds me I'm not defined by a failed marriage and a car pool calendar. And especially not one who has no interest in a family of his own, let alone a package deal like me.
Leo
We were supposed to be temporary. Just like everything else in my life. So why can't I get Kristina out of my head? I'm the master of no strings, no attachments. But our time together haunts me after she leaves.
I'm not cut out to make a life with a woman. A woman with two kids? Forget it.
At least, that's what I thought until fate brings us together again. It turns out the move I made to be closer to family brings me to Kristina's hometown-and right in her path.
I can't still explain the overpowering pull between us, but I'm sure of who she is.
Mine.
And I'm not letting her go this time.
Gaia. Personification of the Earth. Mother of giants, monsters, titans. A primordial goddess with a history of rebellion and destruction, and a woman with a stubborn desire to have all her children at her side. A revered goddess with powers beyond imagination, she has allies in low places, and access to the most off-limits areas-including the perilous Underworld jail. Gaia needs that access to free her imprisoned children and dethrone Zeus, once and for all. With the aid of dead soulmates, zombified humans, and mind-controlled gods, she aims to restore order to Earth before it consumes itself, overrun with political feuds, deadly climate changes, and human greed. Angry and determined, she's on a warpath to avenge her beloved offspring locked up centuries ago. Holding on to a grudge many thought buried, Gaia will stop at nothing until she's successful. Untouchable. Glorious. Is anyone strong enough to stop a deity so powerful she can create armies with a well-placed whisper? Who has the wits-and the nerve-to oppose an ancient and incredibly resourceful goddess such as Gaia?
Eros. Also known as Cupid. Greek god of love and sexual desire. Sometimes depicted as an adorable, chubby little boy with wings, carrying a bow and arrows, flying around merrily, making everyone fall in love. That's not Eros. Not anymore. Eros is mad. He's all grown up now. And he's on a mission to provoke chaos, starting with humans. Instead of producing love, his arrows now produce hunger. Actual hunger. Cannibalistic, beastly, monstrous hunger. Carnivorous. Is the world ready for a raging Eros? Who can stop the angry god of love from eradicating the human race, two soulmates at a time?
Julie
My hot, fiercely protective best friend Landon just dropped to one knee in the middle of the Bellagio with the perfect solution to all my problems.
After an unexpected diagnosis and a run of bad luck, I'm officially down and out. That is, until my best friend of two decades offers me his name... and his health insurance.
We're in Vegas for someone else's wedding. The last thing I ever expected was a proposal of my own-especially from Landon, my rock, my closest friend even when we're miles apart. He's always been gorgeous, but except for that drunken almost-kiss back in college, the only thing between us is friendship.
What's a marriage of convenience between pals? Besides, Landon lives hundreds of miles away. Nothing has to change.
Right?
Landon
I popped the question, put a ring on it, and slapped Julie's name on my health insurance policy. Problem solved.
It's supposed to be a marriage of convenience. However, when my job relocates me to New York and I move in with my wife I find out there's nothing convenient about our arrangement.
It all seemed so simple until the Elvis officiant said, kiss the bride. The second our lips touched, nothing was ever the same.
