<span style="background-color: white;">Seeking a fresh start after her mother’s death, Chelsea Bates lands in the picturesque town of Starsdale, California. Nestled amid the peaks of the High Sierras, Starsdale defines the term ‘small town’ with well-meaning residents who always seem to know everyone’s business.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">The one thing no one knew, couldn’t have predicted, was the evil lurking beneath the surface of Chelsea’s ex-fiancé. Preston Beecher follows her to Starsdale with the intentions of taking everything she owns, including her life. Will Preston destroy her dreams before they begin, or will bonds forged in a small mountain town be the pathway to her future?</span></div>

But that help comes with a catch. Her former lover is assigned to the case. And as more DVDs arrive, they not only find themselves knee-deep in a twisted investigation, but forced to deal with their past and the love they’d tried to deny.</span></div>

Complicating things even more are death threats, witnesses going AWOL, and an increasing attraction neither of them can continue to deny. Can the pair put away a killer on a paper-thin case? Or will their disappearing Jane Doe prove to be...THE LAST WITNESS...</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Jake Preston is on borrowed time. If he doesn’t stumble upon a miracle and soon, he’ll end up dead. And even if he does, he still might end up dead with a clever killer hounding his heels. He believes that the one miracle and antidote to save him is in Margot Davenport’s house, across the country and miles away from Boston. Somewhere locked in her home is the key to reversing an experiment that is killing him.</span></div>

Investigative reporter Annie Wylde intends to use the wilderness canoe expedition to study her notes on her friend’s killer. She banters with Sam but rebuffs his advances, considering him just another egotistical jock. But when Annie realizes the killer has followed her into the woods, she learns there's more to Sam than testosterone and dimples. And Sam faces the challenge of his life to keep Annie safe and defeat the Hunter.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">For Dr. Katy Garrity, life is a whirlwind, and the New York Fire Department is the heart of the storm. After claiming so many people she loved, including her own husband, Katy is left adrift, trying to keep up with a busy career, a baby son, and her loving extended family. Her only anchor is Jesse O'Neil, her late husband's best friend. The charming former playboy has put his entire life on hold to care for Katy and her son. It's inevitable that sparks will flare between them, but all of life seems to be conspiring to keep them apart. Especially Katy's own heart, which shies away from trusting another firefighter. Will the flames of passion burst into a lifetime of love? Or will secrets burn away their connection, causing Dr. Garrity to be burned again?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Jesse crumbled the cup in his hand and tossed it on the ground. When he turned around, Patrick Doyle ran into him. Shoving Doyle against the fire truck, Jesse fisted his shirt and moved his face within inches of the other man’s. “Watch where you’re going, asshole.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Immediately, Lieutenant Dan Murphy, or Murph as the guys called him, pulled Jesse off the younger fireman. “Come on, O’Neil, let him go.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Doyle avoided making eye contact with Jesse just like he always did since the accident. The accident that Doyle caused that killed his best friend, Nick Garrity. It had been over a year ago, but Jesse hadn’t let it go and he wasn’t sure he ever would. The whole situation pissed him off—losing his best friend, watching Katy’s heartbreak, and knowing her son was being raised without a father. Jesse shoved Doyle one more time then walked away before he did something he would regret.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Murph followed him and patted his back. “Jesse, you’re going to have to let it go.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Jesse spun around to face Murph, his eyebrows furrowed and anger seethed in his eyes. “Let it go? He’s responsible for killing the best firefighter Engine 58’s ever seen! We should have let him quit when he asked.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Murph shook his head. “You don’t mean that. Garrity put his life on the line for that kid. If he quit then, Nick he would have done it for no reason. It’s our job now to make him one of the best we have on our crew.” Murph clamped his hand on Jesse’s shoulder and squeezed tightly. “Jesse, you need to do this for Nick.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">“Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn your house down, you can never tell.” –Joan Crawford</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Dr. Katy Malone has sworn off love after losing those she loves most in her life including her father, a member of the FDNY. She has decided to spend her time focusing on her medical research. Her ex-fiancé, and fellow doctor, isn’t ready to give up on loving her though.
Firefighter Nick Garrity is on a search for the future Mrs. Garrity. As he pushes thirty, with no prospects in sight, he’s afraid he’ll never find her. A devoted member of FDNY, he loves the thrill of his job and the satisfaction it brings him. He strives to teach the proby firefighter the ropes and pass on his passion to him.
When the proby tries to impress the guys on the crew, he ends up in the care of Dr. Katy Malone. One look at Dr. Malone and Nick knows he’s found his future wife, but can he convince her to love again?</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leah Bryant’s life satisfies all her needs. Her engagement to Jacob Davis, minister of the Sunshine Christian Church, gives her the security she requires after living in a car during her teenage years. She runs a food kitchen out of the church for homeless vets who are living on the banks of Deer River. All is perfect until the day her future mother-in-law Geraldine tells her the church is shutting down the kitchen, and Dean”"Jacob’s brother”"rides his Harley into her heart. Leah’s world begins to crumble as she falls into Dean’s muscular and tattooed arms. Dean, who’s been away from his home for ten years, finds himself irresistibly drawn in by Leah’s natural beauty and genuine goodness. As they fight to stay away from one another, Leah and Dean keep finding ways to be together. The more they fight the attraction, the harder it is to stay apart. Will Leah go ahead and marry Jacob despite Dean’s haunting her every thought? Will Dean exact the revenge he came home to hand out? And will Geraldine manage to keep control over the church, Jacob, and Leah? It will all be determined in Behind the Altar, a romantic story of forbidden love.<br /><br /><b>˃˃˃ Homeless vets, deranged mothers, and a tattoo artist collide in this story of true love</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b><br />How can the sweet and innocent Leah make sure her fight to feed the homeless in the small town of Victory, Florida, is successful? The arrival of Dean, her fiance's brother, confuses the matter even more as the two are uncontrollably attracted to one another. <br /><br />Can love really conquer all? Dean and Leah are about to find out. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">A short while later they were sitting on the loveseat, wrapped in each other’s arms. They found themselves talking about anything and everything. Just like they used to do during their late night phone calls. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">“After I told you we should back off, I would sit in the den waiting for the phone to ring,” Ethan told her. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white;">“And when it didn’t I would pick it up and dial your number before hanging up and going to bed." </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">“I cried myself to sleep many nights, wishing my phone would ring just once,” she whispered. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">“I’m so sorry, Princess. How much longer until your nineteenth birthday? Ten months right?”</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">“Yeah," she sighed, snuggling into his arms. “Why?”</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">“In many of those conversations we used to have, I promised you that I would ask you to marry me when we were eighteen. That means I only have ten months left to make good on it." </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">There was no response from Charli so Ethan looked down at her. She was asleep, breathing peacefully </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">against his chest. It was blowing his mind how he went from not wanting a relationship to thinking of asking her to marry him in a day's time. He had promised her and now there was no way he could imagine not following through. The day she muttered ‘goodbye Ethan, I love you,' as she hung up the phone was the day he knew she would always be a part of him – no matter how much he told himself differently. Fate. The word everyone was tossing at him had stuck. Charlotte Goldstein was his fate.</span><br />

holds a degree in Communication Studies (Public Relations) from the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas but never thought she would chose writing as a career,
especially at the age of 42. She once wanted to be a publicist in the
entertainment industry, but never a writer. Then one day when she was in her
mid thirties she was going through what can only be described as an early
'midlife crisis' and ideas just started to come to her and she felt compelled
to write them down. She finished her first book relatively quickly, but life
got in the way and it took her eight years to revisit it and then publish her
first novel. She can honestly say that now she is finally right where she wants
to be. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"> On August 15th, 1939, an English passenger plane from British Airways Ltd. crashed in Danish waters between the towns of Nyk?bing Falster and Vordingborg. There were five casualties reported and one survivor. Just two weeks before, Hitler invaded Poland. With the world at the brink of war, the manner in which this incident was investigated left much open to doubt. The jurisdiction battle between the two towns and the newly formed Danish secret police created an atmosphere of intrigue and distrust.
<em>The Bridge of Deaths</em> is a love story and a mystery. Fictional characters travel through the world of past life regressions and information acquired from psychics as well as archives and historical sources to solve "one of those mysteries that never get solved."
Based on true events and real people, <em>The Bridge of Deaths</em> is the culmination of 18 years of sifting through conventional and unconventional sources in Denmark, England, Mexico and the United States. The story finds a way to help the reader feel that s/he is also sifting through data and forming their own conclusions.
Cross <em>The Bridge of Deaths</em> into 1939, and dive into cold Danish waters to uncover the secrets of the G-AESY.

<span style="background-color: white;">M..V. Egan is the pen name chosen by Maria Catalina Vergara Egan. Catalina was born in Mexico City, Mexico in 1959, the sixth of eight children, in a traditional Catholic family. From a very young age, she became obsessed with the story of her maternal grandfather, Cesar Agustin Castillo--mostly the story of how he died. She spent her childhood in Mexico. When her father became an employee of The World Bank in Washington D.C. in the early 1970s, she moved with her entire family to the United States.
Catalina was already fluent in English, as she had spent one school year in the town of Pineville, Louisiana with her grandparents. There she won the English award, despite being the only one who had English as a second language in her class. In the D.C. suburbs she attended various private Catholic schools and graduated from Winston Churchill High School in Potomac, Maryland in 1977.
She attended Montgomery Community College, where she changed majors every semester. She also studied in Lyons, France, at the Catholic University for two years. In 1981, due to an impulsive young marriage to a Viking (the Swedish kind, not the football player kind), Catalina moved to Sweden where she resided for five years and taught at a language school for Swedish, Danish, and Finnish businesspeople. She then returned to the USA, where she has lived ever since. She is fluent in Spanish, English, French and Swedish.
Maria Catalina Vergara Egan is married and has one son who, together with their five-pound Chihuahua, makes her feel like a full-time mother. Although she would not call herself an astrologer she has taken many classes and taught a few beginner classes in the subject.
She celebrated her 52nd birthday on July 2nd, 2011, and gave herself self-publishing <em>The Bridge of Deaths</em> as a gift.

<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">“In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”-Albert Schweitzer</span><br />

<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Life before her husband had been simple. Dr. Katy Garrity ran, went to work, came home, and repeat. It wasn’t a glamourous life by any means but it was safe. She didn’t have to worry about getting close to anyone, getting hurt, or worse—losing them. But that was before she met Nick Garrity.</span><br />
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">In a matter of ten months, they’d met, married, she’d become pregnant, and then in one quick instant, he was gone. She was a widow. It was a title she never thought she’d carry, especially not at thirty, but that’s what she was. She was no longer known as a runner or a doctor or a mother, she was a widow.</span><br />
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">After losing both her father and her husband in the line of duty with FDNY, she should’ve learned her lesson but she was a stubborn woman which was part of the reason why her husband’s best friend fell for her. After Nick died, his comrade, Jesse O’Neil, stepped up as the man of her house and the head of her family. But can she fall in love with another fireman and risk being burned again?</span><br />

<strong style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span> </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Dr. Katy Garrity hopped out of the St. Luke’s Roosevelt ambulance, stepping cautiously onto the sidewalk. Fire and glass rained down from the inferno in the high rise building. Heat fanned from the fire, but Katy stood frozen watching the scene unfold in front of her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: white;">A child’s screams could be heard above the sirens and splashes of water from the violent stream of the firemen’s hose sprayed the doctor’s cheeks. The stench of burnt plastic and wood filled her nose while soot and ashes now covered Katy’s chestnut ponytail, which was whipping against her face in the wind. Her eyes stung from the smoke that hung heavily in the air she was breathing.
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Jolted forward by a passing paramedic, Katy snapped back to reality shaking her head. She rubbed her shoulder where her co-worker had run into her and looked at the triage area. Instead of heading to the red or yellow patients, her feet took her to the black section. Black meant the victims were already dead.
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Her eyes scanned quickly searching for one fireman. Her stomach settled when she didn’t see who she was looking for. Satisfied for the moment that her heart wasn’t broken again, she returned to the red patients who were in need of immediate attention.
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Seconds, minutes, hours passed and she cared for burn after burn until she couldn’t see straight anymore. The smell of burnt skin and the cries of the victims as she cleaned each wound were not things that would easily wash away when her shift ended. Tears had stung her eyes as she treated the first of the victims but now she was numb. Numb to their pain, numb to her compassion, numb and ready for the night to be over.
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">A commotion behind her broke her concentration. She heard firefighters screaming and shouting as they ran out of the building. She turned her attention to them and there was the fireman she’d been looking for earlier—slumped lifelessly between the two men calling for help.
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Her pulse pounded loudly in her ears, blocking out everything, and her eyes focused only on the man in front of her. Sprinting to the injured fireman, Katy did her best to remain calm. Her finger pressed against his carotid artery, feeling for a pulse. Nothing. She moved her fingers checking for it again. Still nothing.
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Her body trembled as panic took over her body. She shook his shoulders trying to rouse him but his head bounced lifelessly. A pot belly pushed against her from behind, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her away. She thrashed her arms and legs trying to get out of his hold, but he only squeezed her tighter. Watching them take the lifeless man away, she cried out, “<i>Jesse!</i>”<strong>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A New Contemporary Romance by K.S. Thomas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fame, fortune and a future paved with rock and roll gold. Blaise Nolan has it all. With his brooding good looks, haunting voice and troubled lyrics of a soul gone lost, it's no wonder <em>Finding Nolan</em> has been climbing the music charts with back to back hits. Only Blaise didn't wind up brooding, haunted and lost by accident...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Avalon Jennison has been the girl next door since she was five. The best friend since she was eight. The band manager since she was sixteen and the keeper of his secrets always. Ava's been there every step of the way, helping him live his dreams and keeping his nightmares at bay. But the years of putting Blaise's needs above her own are about to be over.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, Blaise has one secret even Ava doesn't know..and it could be the thing that breaks her heart completely, or finally puts it back together.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Royce and I just stood there staring at the closed door. Then we heard the water go on in the shower and realized she wasn’t coming back out anytime soon.
“What are you going to do when you’re sober?” Royce was looking way too satisfied with himself. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What do you mean?” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I mean, what are you going to do when there’s no more reason to play pretend? Are you hoping she just gets so used to acting like your girlfriend that she’ll forget that she’s not?” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He wasn’t blocking the fucking door anymore, so I was free to make my exit. Which I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Sure you don’t.” Royce was following me out of the room and back into the kitchen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Look. I don’t expect you to understand my relationship with Ava.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Royce shrugged. “What’s to understand? You’re in love with her.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This is what I’m talking about. Why do people always assume that when a guy and a girl are close friends, it means that one of them has to be in love with the other?” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Royce went to get the cup of coffee he had abandoned before shit got heated. “I don’t assume that.” He took a sip, made a face and stuck the coffee in the microwave. “I would have no problem believing that the two of you were best friends who had a completely platonic relationship…if I didn’t know for a fact that it was complete and utter bullshit.” His coffee was done and he took another drink, this time with better results. “If it makes you feel any better, she’s clearly in love with you, too. Although, unlike you, I don’t think she’s aware of it.” Then he took his cup and left to go out onto the terrace. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike me? Where was he coming up with this…this ridiculous…truth. It was true. I <em>was</em> in love with Ava. And she felt the same way about me. Thing Royce in all his smugness had failed to see was that I’d made damn sure she <em>stayed </em>unaware of it.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Phoenix Silverstone more commonly known as Nix, is a twenty-one year old that has finally discovered her freedom. After living under the strict rules and protection of her mother, Nix moved out with her two best friends in a quaint little Seattle apartment. For the first time Nix is finally able to spread her wings and breathe. Together, they get a job working at a bar and for the first time everything is perfect.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Freedom, friendships, a great job and fantastic man on the verge of becoming hers. Tristan is the suave, intelligent, not to mention gorgeous law student that Nix has her eyes and heart set on. For the first time, she has her life together; that is, until her path crosses with Levi. The charming, tattooed and downright sexy bad boy that Nix knows she needs to avoid.</span></div>

Flirting. Desire. Undeniable temptations. Nix can’t deny the chemistry surging between them but she can’t forget her mother’s extreme hate towards bad boys.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"> Will Nix have the strength to listen to her heart? Or will her mother’s rules cost her everything?</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">The entire mass of guys sitting around my station flocked to Val’s, giving me some time to clean up. I looked up to find only one guy left, and he was watching me intently. It was the same guy Ty had greeted so enthusiastically earlier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">''Can I get you anything?'' I asked, taking empty glasses off the counter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">''A smile. Give me one and I guarantee you’ll get the biggest tip tonight.'' The slow seductive tone rolling from his shapely lips told me he wasn’t just fooling around. His green eyes stared at me like I was dessert. This guy was hot and he knew it. He was looking me up and down, biting on his lips. He was clearly not afraid to show me how much he liked what he saw. Me. His confidence and determination were fierce. The way his tousled light brown hair went every which way, hanging down across his forehead, told me right away he didn’t care about his looks. He didn’t have to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">He wanted a smile? I shook my head. ''You don’t want a drink? Just water, maybe?''</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">''No, just a smile. You're the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen and it's just a smile I want.'' He brushed his hand through his hair, making it even more tousled.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">I knew I was blushing and bit my lip in embarrassment. His eyes refused to stray from mine, pinning me in place. I smiled, but not because he’d asked. No, this smile was solely because this random man had pulled it out of me himself. I saw the humour in his eyes as he slid fifty bucks out of his pocket and onto the counter. ''Thank you, Princess. You just made my night.''</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">He got up and walked away. I could see the hint of tattoos peeking out around his neckline and beneath his rolled up sleeves. His black Converse were worn out, giving him a laid back look and his perfectly fitted washed-out jeans fell low on his hips, accentuating what looked to be the most perfect ass I’d ever seen. The black, long sleeve Henley he wore was tight in all the right places. There was something about his mysterious and inscrutable demeanor which made me wonder about him. He’d wanted to get my attention and, well – he’d gotten it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;"><em>Who the hell was he?</em> I knew he was the guy Tyler had been excited to see, but I’d never seen him around the club before. I knew I’d have remembered that tantalizingly gorgeous mystery man.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">He didn't give me his name and I didn't give him mine. Not that he had to ask - I wore a name tag with my name engraved on it. It was the strangest thing which had ever happened to me. My eyes continued to focus on him until he opened the door of the club and left. I found myself still watching the door, even after it was closed, as though I wanted to chase after him – which was insane. I shook my head, willing myself to move on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.judeouvrard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NA-BIAS.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white;"><img alt="NA-BIAS" class="alignright wp-image-1200 size-medium" src="http://www.judeouvrard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NA-BIAS-300x300.jpg" height="300" width="300" /></span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">I began wiping down the counters, pausing to watch Val entertain her groupies at the station next to mine. As I turned to grab more lemons, my eyes were drawn again to the door. Tristan sauntered in with a few of his friends hanging around him, laughing at something one of them had said. Tristan had admitted to never visiting Black Shakers before and even after our dinner date tonight, I still hadn’t expected to see him turn up so soon. I couldn’t seem to figure out if I was excited by his surprise visit, or nervous about it. It felt like he was parading a bunch of his buddies around my bedroom, looking through my dirty laundry. This was my home away from home and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to let him in—<em>yet</em>. Not to mention I was still shaken up by the strange interaction with Mr. Mysterious.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">Shouts from Val’s station caught my attention again. Val was lying on the counter and Bekka was squeezing some lime juice onto Val’s stomach. I wasn’t sure who was supposed to get the next shot, but right now, I needed it to be me. I made my way around the bar with determination as I kept the drink in my sights. Tipping my head back, I drained the liquor from the glass, and licked the lime juice and salt from Val’s belly. All eyes were on me now, as if I was some sort of prize. It was just a shot for heaven’s sake. The customers were used to this performance, most of the girls behind the bar were doing body shots throughout the night. The first time I visited Black Shakers to hang out, the waitresses did at least two shots each. As far as I was concerned, it really was no big deal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ff99cc;">I walked back to my section and was immediately surrounded by applauding and drunken guys, asking for my phone number. I laughed it off as I always did - none of them would get it. It was just one aspect of working in a club, dealing with the slobbering, horny drunks. At least I could handle their testosterone-fuelled innuendo now, and if anyone ever got out of hand, there were always bodyguards standing by to watch our backs.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Calista Luvalle has mixed feelings when it comes to love. On the one hand, working in the bridal business means she’s basically dedicating her life to love and the dream of happy ever after. On the other, she’s a jaded, love hating cynic who isn’t about to fall for any of that crap herself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Except of course, she already did. When she was six.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Emerson Barrett isn’t worried about finding the right woman. After a tumultuous past, he’s happy just dedicating his life to his work. Content in knowing what to expect day in and day out, he’s thrown for a loop when he’s suddenly standing face to face with little Lissy Luvalle again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I was nearly there when I became aware of the thing leading my way. It was the heavenly scent of coffee. My heart sang for joy. Stephanie.
“Good morning, Lover,” I chirped happily as I walked through the large arched doorway.
“Well, good morning to you, too, Beautiful.” Not Stephanie. Definitely not Stephanie.
“Shit. Sorry, I thought you were Steph,” I mumbled as I went back to walking with my eyes closed and my head down until I ran into the back counter housing the coffee maker.
“You call your assistant ‘Lover’?” he smirked. I could barely raise my gaze to look at him. Emerson wasn’t exactly clothed as he stood there barefoot and shirtless, wearing nothing but his very well worn and well fitted jeans that hung from his hips and ass perfectly. Not that I was looking. Oh hell, how could you not look?! Those tight shirts he’d been wearing hadn’t told the half of it. His arms and chest were chiseled perfection. His flawless skin wasn’t hurting the visual either, nor was the lack of the dreaded farmer’s tan which naturally sparked images of him working shirtless on a hot summer day, doing whatever it was that kept his body in a state I would deem worthy of being labeled underwear model-like.
I took a deep breath in and exhaled loudly with no regard to the fact that I was now obviously ogling the man. Then I remembered that he had asked me something.
“I’m sorry, what did you say?” I shook my head back and forth a few times trying to jumble up the image of a half-naked Emerson I now had plastered at the forefront of my mind.
“I asked if you always call your assistant ‘Lover’.” His level of amusement was definitely on the rise.
“Oh, yeah. She makes me coffee. Most of the time it’s better than the sex I’ve been having, so ‘Lover’ seems appropriate.”
“Sounds like yet another reason to raise your standard in men,” he said smugly as he lifted his mug to those gorgeous lips.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://friedgatortail.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/2882744391.jpg" style="background-color: white;"><img alt="288274439" class="alignnone wp-image-1720" src="http://friedgatortail.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/2882744391.jpg" height="426" width="658" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“You know, Cal isn’t just my boss, she’s also one of my closest friends.” Steph looked like she was still focused on the file at her fingertips, but I was pretty sure we were about to discuss something that had nothing to with Savannah’s wedding. “Cal hasn’t exactly had what you might call a whole lot of success in the relationship department. She’s convinced herself that she doesn’t want one and that marriage is total bull, but look at what the woman does for a living. Obviously, the little girl who believes in fairy tales is still in there somewhere, no matter how hard she’s tried to kill her off.”
I tossed the paper I’d been holding, into my to-do pile and turned my back to the table to get a better look at Steph. “You giving me insider information?”
“Yeah, so listen up. This shit is going to make or break you. Cal is a chickenshit. She’s scared of pretty much everything and because of that, she’s also a total control freak. The two together make for a lethal combo when it comes to dating. Either something happens to make her rock that deer in the headlights look that makes her want to take control and cut the sucker from her life, or the sucker does something to screw up all the ducks she likes to keep so neatly in a row that she gets scared and bails. Either way, she’s fucked. Personally, I blame her father, but then I blame my father, too. We all have our issues.”
What she was saying was making sense. I just didn’t see how exactly it was helpful. “So, you’re saying…what are you saying?”
“I’m saying, learn from the Tyler’s she’s left in her wake. She can’t be held down or chased. So you’re going to have to find some other way to keep her put.”
I frowned. “Any suggestions? Or is pointing out all the reasons it won’t work the extent of your advice?”
“Oh, I never said it wasn’t going to work. If I thought you were just another pot hole in her path, I wouldn’t be wasting my breath, Emerson.” She broke into a smile unexpectedly. “I saw that picture Skeeter has of the two of you. The one where she’s lying on your back reading? That’s the cutest stinking thing I’ve ever seen by the way, but more importantly it speaks volumes for her relationship with you.”
“How’s that?”
Steph shrugged. “Cal hates excessive contact. Super possessive about her personal space. I’m talking, like, I’ve seen her freak out when Tyler pulled her over to sit on his lap because he thought he was being cute or something. I heard about that shit for the next three days. And I was there when it happened, so it’s not like I needed a recount of the event or anything. Anyway, her mom says she’s always been that way. Even as a kid.” She was giving me that look, the one with the raised brows and big eyes, like she had just made her point and was waiting for me to have my ‘A-ha’ moment. Only I was too busy thinking about all the times I’d crashed into Liss’s personal space since she’d shown up in Kentucky a few days ago. I’d inadvertently invaded her body countless times in countless ways, starting with taking her hand to lead the way and ending with her body pressed to mine in the kitchen that morning.
“I don’t think I’m getting the message here, Steph. I’ve been all up in her space ever since she got here.”
“That’s exactly my point. She’s comfortable with you. She trusts you. She shares her space with you.” She picked up the folders she’d been searching through and held them to her chest preparing to leave. “I’m thinking maybe that little girl she’s got locked away deep down inside hasn’t gotten very far with her fairy tale because the whole damn world’s been telling her to look for a prince, when really, all she wants is a cowboy.”</span></div>

<strong style="background-color: white;">Chapter Two</strong></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">In the dark recesses of the cavernous basement, flickering candlelight played with the shadows cast around the room. Eric moved through the motions he’d studied for the past year. He whispered an incantation. “<em>Adah solicani dusio. Abrami solis verdana.</em>”
The words swirled around him like the smoke of an ancient Indian war signal. They spiraled, encircling his body, shooting up through a vent in the rocky ceiling. The sweet rose water scent oozing from the flaming candles tickled his nose. He scrunched it to relieve the discomfort.
“<em>Dulisio mordicani andahit.</em>” He moved his body in harmony to the chant’s cadence. The expressions, strange and difficult, were alluring and hypnotizing even to him.
Had an hour passed, a minute? He’d lost all sense of time, pursuing the arduous work he had studied hard to master. He wouldn’t know the result right away. Therefore he needed to keep alert. His “father” had used the same incantation once before, but had forbidden him to try because of its complexity and the need for precise details. Only one wrong syllable and the outcome would be uncertain...even disastrous. He smirked. Since the man wasn’t his real father, why should he follow his overly cautious advice?
The room filled with thick fog, making it difficult to see. As the white smoke seeped into the ceiling and through the vent, black appendages snaked down toward him, slithering, curling. An acrid scent of burned wood replaced the annoying rose water aroma. Eric stopped moving while silky strands engulfed him, forming a tight, translucent cocoon. His heart beat faster, but he had no time for fear.
“<em>Adai columbarih andath doluri.</em>” Though muffled, he continued, his chant rising to the ceiling before the cocoon exploded into a million pieces like a shattered mirror. Each shard puffed into dust as it hit the ground.
Breathing heavily, his movements slowing, he doubled over, dropping to the cold floor. His mind drifted to the time when he pushed Mona down the stairs. Uncle Richard had rushed her to the hospital, but Eric knew she’d died.
Cold and stiff, his body twitched a few times before slipping into what he thought must be a semi-catatonic state.
</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div title="Page 9">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">***</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Eric limped into the dining room to find his fake father eating. “I see you’ve started without me.” Dragging out his usual chair, he sat then opened the crisp, white napkin, laying it across his lap. Still frazzled about his clandestine actions, Eric sucked in air as panic squeezed his lungs. He pulled at his shirt collar.
His dad radiated anger, filling the air with a tension that blocked Eric’s windpipe. He squirmed in his chair and took a deep breath to calm himself. Whatever was up the man’s ass, he wanted nothing to do with it.
“You’re late for dinner.” He glanced at Eric, his dark brows pinched. “What have you been doing?”
He shrugged and picked up his fork. “Not much, really.” He focused on his plate, not trusting himself around the man, who was just too sharp to miss anything going on in the house.
“Have you finished your school project?”
“Yeah. Got that done a few days ago.”
Jason nodded and took another bite.
Eric wiped his mouth to hide the smirk spreading across his face. Reaching over, he grabbed the saltshaker and used it generously.
“You eat too much salt. Put it down.”
He stared at the man from the corner of his eye and, with deliberate movements, made it snow over his dish. Strong fingers wrapped around his wrist, causing him to drop the shaker. Clunk. It rolled a few inches, stopping against his water glass.
“You have blood pressure problems. After all you’ve been through with your health, do you want to die of a heart attack?”
He yanked his arm away. “If <em>Uncle Richard</em> says I can have some salt, then I can have some salt.”
“When we attended medical school together, we studied the effects salt has on the body. I seriously doubt Richard ever said you could eat a mountain of salt.”
“It’s my body and—”
Grabbing his steak knife, he pointed it at Eric. “Be <em>very</em> careful with what you’re about to say.”
</span></div>
<div title="Page 10">
<div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">At the man’s dangerous inflection, he swallowed, deciding to keep quiet. He’d never won a battle with Jason and found it best to surrender before it got ugly. After a moment, the guy returned to his meal, slicing a bite of sirloin and stuffing it into his mouth.
Relief shuddered through Eric. Deciding on safer topics, he asked, “How is Mona doing?”
“I’m not aware of what went on between the two of you, but she’s home,” he rumbled. “She didn’t suffer a concussion, but despite the unusual circumstance, she’ll recover.”
He sighed with satisfaction. <em>So my hocus-pocus worked.</em>
“We agreed she should be well enough to attend school tomorrow, so be sure to pick her up. It’s always best to arrive with someone you know when starting a new school in the middle of the year.”
“Will do.”
“By the way....” Jason wiped his mouth, placed the napkin on the table, and stood. “Don’t think I don’t see what you’ve been up to. The consequences of your actions will catch up with you and cost dearly.” He walked out of the room, his posture as stiff as if he’d swallowed a croquet stick.
Annoyed at the fact the man missed nothing, Eric jumped to his feet, knocking the chair to the floor. “Shit.” Grumbling under his breath, he righted his chair. “Can’t fart in this fucking house without him knowing.”
Chucking his napkin at his half-empty plate, he took refuge in his bedroom. It would be a long evening in his little sanctuary, but he didn’t want to risk the questions that could arise.
Sitting at his desk, he pounded his fist. Jason might be a powerful man, but that wasn’t the main problem. Too many people loved him, so getting rid of him would raise too much suspicion—all fingers pointing to him, the belligerent son. Although murderous thoughts circled his mind, he settled for no action. No, I have to work around him.
Placing his elbows on the desk, he buried his face in his hands. <em>But can I accomplish all my plans while dancing around that jackass?</em>
Annoyed at the situation—terrified to be exact—he lifted his head, examining the shadows around the room. Glancing at his cell phone, he rubbed his chin. Damn! I didn’t realize it was so late. Pushing to his feet, he took off his pants, adjusted the elastic of his boxers, and crawled between the covers.

<div title="Page 11">
<span style="background-color: white;">He clicked off the bedside lamp, closing his eyes. Thoughts of Mona filled his mind. <em>Tomorrow will be an interesting day</em>.

But just when he thinks his problems are solved, his past comes back to haunt him, and once again, Jake is confronted by situations he is ill-equipped to handle.

<span style="background-color: white;"> Falling in love with literature was easy for Christine Hughes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Not sure where her love of reading and writing fit, she became a middle school English teacher. After nine years teaching others to appreciate literature, she decided to take the plunge and write her first novel, TORN – a YA paranormal re-released by Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing in August 2013. The sequel, Darkness Betrayed was released by the same publisher in September 2013 and her third novel, a stand-alone NA Contemporary, was re-released by CHBB in December 2013.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><i>She got into her seat and drove us to I-didn’t-know-where-yet. The music was playing softly in the car. I was having difficulty with noises, they were making me irritable but the melody was nice so I was okay. We were getting closer to Avery's house. At least I hoped we were going to her house, because I was frightened to be alone. I needed her, in more than one way. When she turned to the right, I knew we were going to her place because my house was over on the left. I bit the inside of my cheeks to subdue a smile. A few seconds later, Avery parked the car in her driveway. She undid my safety belt, then hers. She got out of the car to help me out, then grabbed my bag and arm-in-arm we walked to her door.</i>
<i>''Calm down, girl. I'm not dying, I'm okay. I can feel your body trembling.''</i>
<i>''I can't calm down, Remy.'' She unlocked the door and pushed it open. ''I lost Carter, okay? He's gone,'' she cried. ''And I came this close,'' she showed me a tiny gap between her fingers, ''this close, to losing you too, and that tore me apart.'' She put my bag on the table. ''When Megan told me what happened, I passed out, because I couldn’t believe I was going to have to go through this again. We waited twenty-four hours before we finally got the news that you were alive.''</i>
<i>I felt terrible. ''I'm sorry, girl, I'm so sorry.'' I pulled her towards me and wrapped my arm around her. She cried and she sobbed against my t-shirt. Ave was in a terrible mess. ''I promised you I would come back, and I did.'' I kissed her hair. ''I’m so sorry I had to come back in such a dramatic way.''</i>
<i>''You're alive, Remy.'' She almost never called me by my first name. ''It's all that matters.''</i>
<i>''I know, Avery.''</i>
<i>We were silent for a moment, her sobs calming down and she regained control of herself. It broke my heart to see her like this, she'd seemed so strong at the hospital and I was just realizing it was a facade. In that instant, I knew we both needed rest and we both had a lot on our minds.</i>
<i>''I think I need to lay down, Ave, I'm getting a little dizzy. I'll go to my room.'' She squeezed me with all of her strength, one last time, before releasing me.</i>
<i>I got to the guest room. There was a bouquet of daisies on the night table. She'd changed the sheets and comforter on the bed for a navy blue one. I made it to the bed just in time, my vision had gone blurry. I sat on the corner of the bed and closed my eyes. The fact that she wanted me to stay here was great, but damn, this was fucked up. She still continued to ignore everything I'd said to her. It made me anxious and the best thing I could do was lie down and chill out. Being around her was even harder now. I put my arm over my eyes, to hide away from the light in the room. Turning it off required too much physical effort for now.</i>
<i>''Remy, are you okay?'' Her voice was low.</i>
<i>''Can you turn the light off, please?''</i>
<i>She did and then removed my shoes. I shifted up on the bed and she placed my legs under the comforter. ''Do you feel any pain?''</i>
<i>''It's not too bad, I can manage.'' My head hurt constantly, no matter what I did. In my shoulder, the bullet had torn a muscle and damaged the bone severely. They had to screw the bone together in three different places. It would never be as strong as it used to be, but at least I was alive.</i>
<i>''Okay...'' She stayed in the room looking at me. It had me confused, did she want to talk or something?</i>
<i>''Is everything OK, Ave?'' I needed to know.</i>
<i>She nodded. ''It's just good to have you here. I missed you.''</i>
<i>Okay, she was giving signs she wanted to talk, but I thought maybe she wasn’t ready just yet.</i>
<i>''I missed you too, girl.'' I smiled.</i>
<i>She returned my smile with one of her own, she seemed suddenly shy and her cheeks flushed. ''I thought about what you said to me a lot. It scared me at first but then, I felt like I already knew about it. Things cleared up in my mind. How you were always looking after me, always making sure I was okay. I should have known, but I only had eyes for Carter. I still love and miss him every single day.'' She took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes. ''But... I felt things were different prior to your deployment and I understand now. I didn’t hate it, I liked it. Being closer to you makes me feel better. I need it, but I can't promise you more than that.''</i>
<i>''What are you saying, exactly, Avery?'' I could feel a wave of tingles rush through my body. What did she mean? It was so out of character for her to be so shy.</i>
<i>''I’m saying I still love Carter, I probably always will, but I also like you and need to be around you. I can't promise you anything, but we could try and see if it would work out.''</i>
<i>''I’m not a consolation prize, Avery.''</i>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Carina was just starting to relax when the lights dimmed and a familiar voice spoke. She jerked her head toward the band. She could barely see over the heads of the people around her, but her heart clenched when Dylan stepped to the front with his guitar hanging over his shoulder.
“This next song is one I wrote for a woman with a whole lotta heart who walked out of my life not long ago.”
Dylan strummed the first chord and sang:
I was singing in the city,
Guitar in my arms,
When she walked around a corner,
And landed in my lap.
“Let’s dance,” Rob said, tugging Carina into his arms.
“I can’t. I’m sorry.” She averted her face, hoping Dylan hadn’t seen her.
The song continued:
I didn’t know what hit me,
Didn’t see the signs,
But the days became brighter,
And my heart sang with laughter.
I held her in the shower,
And kissed her on the train.
But she left me in the tunnel,
And took my heart away.
Carina staggered from the dance floor.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay?” Rob steadied her.
“No, I need fresh air.” She wrenched herself from his grasp and ran for the stairs. Glancing back, she caught Dylan staring straight at her.
Her heart expanded in her chest and sweat prickled her face. He’d seen her with Rob, and he’d get the wrong idea about her.
Not missing a beat, he sang the chorus:
She’s got a whole latte heart,
And she’s got mine.
She’s got a whole latte love,
And I wish it were for me.
Carina tore up the stairs. She weaved her way through the other partygoers to the upper deck. The wind caught her hair and flung it in her sweaty face. She bent over the rail, heaving. He said she had his heart. What did that mean?
Rob caught up with her. “Are you sick? Anything I can get you?”
“No, nothing.” She bowed her head in her hands. “I’m sorry. Can you let me sit here alone? I’m not feeling well.”
“I’ll sit with you.” He led her to a cushioned bench.
“Please, Rob. I need to be alone. I enjoyed our outing, but I don’t want to ruin the evening for you.”
Rob glanced around impatiently and shrugged. “True. I’ve been wanting to chat up a few associates who graduated from my university. I’ll catch you when it’s time to go.”
She nodded and flashed him a smile, then put her head between her arms and took slow, deep breaths. Dylan’s voice replayed in her mind and drew chills down her spine along with wanting and missing him. Even though she’d been working most of the time she lived at his place, she’d never forget the fun, from the welcome party to frolicking in the community garden.
Every morning, he had a foamy milk heart for her. He’d made her laugh, given her hope, and flirted with her, made her feel wanted, special.
The memory of that long kiss in the tunnel under the Bay gave her goose bumps. Every word he sang was true. She’d left him when she moved out. She hadn’t given him a chance to explain and worst of all, she hadn’t let him know how she felt about him.
She leaned her chin on the rail and closed her eyes, waiting for the evening to pass. The boat motored slowly around the bay among other small craft, and the movement lulled her into a daze.
“I want to take you to the highest mountaintop and kiss the air out of your lungs.” Dylan’s voice hovered above her.
Was she dreaming? How long had he been standing there? Carina’s eyes snapped open and her pulse quickened. Moonlight framed Dylan’s brown hair and his eyes pooled dark blue, earnest and yearning. She reached for him as he closed his arms around her.
“I missed you,” he whispered in her hair.
“I missed you too.”
The sound of fireworks shooting into the air drew her attention, and explosions echoed in her heart. Flowers of fireworks dazzled the night sky, red, white, and blue, arcing straight up from the pier.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">“<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I lost both my
parents as a child.”</span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">How did they
die?” Daniel asked softly.</span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Car accident,
same as my great-aunt and uncle.” </span></span>
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">Daniel's sharp
intake of air was followed quickly by his next comment. “And you
almost died in that car accident a few weeks ago. It seems fate is
cruel.”</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">Nessa realized he
was right. Not so much about her dying, but the fact that fate seemed
to repeat itself. “I didn't almost die. The doctor said I was
lucky.”</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You were lucky
because I was there. If I hadn't been,” he argued, “who knows how
long you would've been exposed. You could've died without me
connecting with you.”</span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You are my
savior, Daniel,” she whispered. “My beautiful angelic savior.”</span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You're too sweet
with your words, ma belle.” </span></span>
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's true,
Daniel. I don't know what it is about you, but I feel such a
connection to you,” she admitted as she traced her finger across
the back of his hand. “You're always so cold.”</span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">Daniel guffawed.
“Cold hands, warm heart.” He cupped her face, pulling her in
close. “In this case, my heart flames for you.”</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Nessa's body
relaxed into his and he pulled her, comforter and all, onto his lap.
He cradled her close to him, savoring their connection as much as she
did. </span></span>

<div align="center">
<span style="background-color: white;">July 17th, 2007</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="background-color: white;">Carter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I tried to be the strong one, but today hurt every bone, muscle and brain cell in my body. Without her by my side, life was painful. For years, she had been the sun in my days, the one I was looking for in the darkness. She was my light, my love and inspiration. My reason to stay alive. We were always together before I joined Special Forces. During our last deployment, we were lucky to be working together as a team and we both enjoyed it. I knew her better than I knew myself and while we worked jointly, I saw who she was and how strong and dedicated she had become. Her pride over serving in the Army was beyond most men. Her determination was astounding, she'd faced death, survived to my abject relief and still stayed the fighter she's always been. Her injuries and pain didn’t make her weak, she'd become stronger and fought against her fears.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I sat in the plane next to Remy. We had left a little over two hours ago and I could still feel her sadness, as if it was attached to my heart. Remy was also feeling blue, as he considered Avery to be like a sister. I hated that I was the reason behind her sadness. I held back the tears as long as I could, but mid-way to our destination, it overwhelmed me and I gave up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"Fuck.... Fuck... I hate this!" I yelled. I regretted leaving her. I should have requested a release at the same time as she did. This was a fucking nightmare. "I should be home with her, Remy. We could be starting a family like we want. I shouldn’t have come... I shouldn’t have." Each word, every memory of our conversations about the future hurt, kicking me in the chest because I wanted them now. Every minute away from her was a waste of our time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"Cart, man, relax." Remy squeezed my shoulder with a strong hand. "This, the Army, is our life, you can't go back now. We'll do this and go back home like we always do. A couple of months won't change anything in the end. She loves you like crazy and you love her even more." He paused. "Look, we can do this. It’s hard now because you just left her. Even I'm sad. I'll miss her too but it's what we do, man, we are Special Forces. We leave and we come back stronger. We fight for what's right. We have a job to get done now. Focus on that."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"Being away from her is different this time. It's not that I don't like it, I hate it. It shouldn’t be like this. We had the best times of our lives these past few days. She was glowing, she was smiling like she used to, before the bombing. I felt like she was finally back with me, with us."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"I saw it too. She was different, happy." He smiled. "It's all you, Carter. You were able to make her the happiest bride, even though she knew you were leaving. Use that to motivate yourself. We'll be back before we know it."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"Thanks, bro." I dried my tears on the sleeve of my shirt. I was still angry at myself but he was right. She was happy again. I had to focus on that and come back home as soon as possible. She was my life now. Everything I am or own, is hers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">''I want you to tell me how you feel while you are away. Write me or call me as much as you can.'' I grabbed my backpack and opened the front pocket to find my pen and paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="background-color: white;">Avery,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i> </i><i>I haven't arrived at our destination yet, and I’m already writing because I'm thinking about you. I miss you. I can't stop seeing your smile and beauty in my mind.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i> </i><i>Thank you for the pictures, I'll keep the one of you in your wedding dress with me all the time. Except when I'm in the shower, of course.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i> </i><i>I’ve been wanting to tell you how amazing and beautiful you are. Your smiles are back, the ones that made me fall in love with you years ago. The smiles that reach your eyes and the smiles when you bite your lower lip. I loved the way you blushed when you walked down the aisle. You took my heart at that moment and stole it. You are the one who owns it, take care of it. My heart is nothing without you.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i> </i><i>I will be back to you soon and we'll start our family. We could even buy a dog or a cat and move to a different city. Somewhere by the beach or in the country. Anything baby, just say it and you'll have it.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i> </i><i>I love you my shining star, more than you'll ever know.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i> </i><i>Carter</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="background-color: white;">Kisses and hugs</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I placed the letter in an envelope and addressed it. I wanted her to receive it soon, as I knew the waiting would be hard for Avery. I was planning to write to her every day or every other day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Remy had fallen asleep and I wondered how life was for him. He was single, I'd never seen him serious about a girl before. He flirted here and there but he never talked about any girl in particular, or suggested he hoped to meet 'the one'. Never. As far as I knew, he didn't plan to stay in the Army forever and I always assumed he would eventually try to settle down with someone. I feared the loneliness he must sometimes feel. It was probably hard for him to see Avery and me so happy together. I wanted him to be happy too. He deserved to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I couldn’t force him into anything but maybe I could talk to him about dating.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">~~~*~~~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">We finally made it to the camp. It looked the same as the last one. I had to try and stop imagining Avery everywhere. I was ridiculously obsessed with my wife. She was safe at home and this was the right thing for her, for both of us. While we were getting installed, the guys were talking about our wedding and were really cool about it. Most of them were married and already fathers. Some of them even asked me to show them my ring. That was just weird, wasn't it something girls do? The ring was simple, white gold with two small diamonds. We chose it together, the diamonds representing us. Avery's ring was as simple as mine, she'd never been the type of girl who wanted huge diamonds. I was ready to buy her the biggest diamond I could afford but she'd refused and went for something small and modest. It represented her after all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">As soon as we got on camp, we started doing some work in settling in and we discovered issues. And to make everything worse, the internet was not working properly. We had security issues and couldn't use it for personal requirements. That meant no emailing and Avery was probably going to lose it in Fort Bragg. I had to make sure my letter got to her as soon as possible. I could try to call her, I would love to hear her voice. In the Special Forces, it only happened rarely that we had to deal with communication problems since it was one of our most important tool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Finally, I located my bunk bed, I placed my backpack next to it and put the envelope containing the pictures under the thin blanket. I retrieved Avery's picture from my front pocket and looked at her for a few seconds. Her pale blond hair was piled on top of her head, in elaborate curls. She was gorgeous. Her gown was showing just enough skin, and kissed all of her curves. I was a proud man, and knew I was lucky that she picked me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Today was my first day away but on the bright side, I was one day closer to seeing her again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">That was my main focus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Holy Shit.</i>
<i>That’s freaking Jack Cole! What do I do?
Nothing. I do nothing. Shit. Am I blushing? Don’t blush. Do NOT blush. What am
I talking about?! Forget blushing! Don’t faint! </i>I could already feel the
telltale signs of a full blown anxiety attack announcing themselves via the
heart pounding out of my chest like a sledgehammer and the cold numbness
setting in around my ankles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My
first instinct was to shut my eyes and take several deep breaths, but then I
realized how insane I’d look and squashed that plan immediately. Instead, I
focused all of my attention on the silver metal doors ahead. Still slightly
maniacal, but then Mr. Cole seemed too wrapped up in his own problems to take
notice of mine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With
my eyes steadily staring straight ahead, my ears were free to drop in on his
conversation with unconscionable ease. My frantic heart froze the moment my
brain registered what my wandering ears had heard. Jack Cole had dropped his
model of the month girlfriend. He was single! I had to remind myself that in
all reality, this information – however exciting it seemed – actually would
have no bearing on me or my relationship status.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In
the midst of forcefully hiding all of my Jack Cole madness, I had forgotten one
minor detail. The tiny person to my left, who at any given moment could glance
up and recognize the man of my every fantasy and sell me out faster than a girl
scout peddling cookies to a pothead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">

daughter was no evil genius, but she was five with no inhibitions and a knack
for listening in on my grown up conversations. She wouldn’t think twice before
blurting out his name and asking him to marry me. In fact, I’d once had a daydream
just like that, only in my warped and lonely mind, he had found her so adorable
he had said yes on the spot. To be fair, my daughter didn’t hear ‘no’ from
people often, something I hoped would work in my favor one day, but I digress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I
carefully lowered my gaze from the safety of the elevator doors to take a peek
at Jessa. Much to my relief she was far too involved in chatting with Mermella
the mermaid to pay attention to anything else. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just
as my eyes re-centered themselves on the shiny metal ahead, the door slid open
revealing a large group of people eager to board the elevator. This was my
floor. I had two choices. Either stay on and ride the elevator aimlessly in
hopes of basking in Jack Cole’s presence a moment longer like a stalker, or get
off. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before
my head had a chance to decide, my body took over, moving on autopilot and
taking me onward as I had originally programmed it to do when I first boarded
the moving metal box. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I
said a silent goodbye to my once in a lifetime opportunity with each painful
step I took. It wasn’t until I had safely removed myself from what had been
loaded with potential for the most humiliating scene of my life, that I finally
turned around to look at Jack full on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I
was still mesmerized by the sight of him when I watched as one of the new
passengers opened his mouth, about to talk to Jack.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Hey,
aren't you Ja-” the words never fully formed before I interrupted him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Brady,
are you coming?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Unaware
that he was being spoken to, Jack maintained his iron clad focus on the screen
of his cell phone, while I began to panic. What the hell was I doing? This was
insane. Not only that, but if I wanted to avoid looking like a complete ass at
this point, I would have no choice but to fully commit and hope it didn’t end
with me being hauled off in cuffs by airport security.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Brady!”
I repeated, this time more sternly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At
last he looked up. Still not entirely sure what was going on, his eyes darted
back and forth between myself and the strangers beside him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Come
on, this is us.” I was looking directly at him. Jack was about to say something
when I gestured for him to follow me, now with a slightly annoyed expression to
go with it. I watched as he took one more look at the guy who had been about to
chat him up and then quickly fell into step behind me just in time to avoid the
elevator doors closing in on him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Thanks. I really appreciate
that.” He was looking around like a nervous animal trying to figure out his

I tell everyone I named her after my great-grandmother (because that's the mature answer), but really, I named her after my favorite princess - just so happens I got lucky and they had the same name...If I wasn't a writer, I would work on a horse ranch - I'm an animal lover (in addition to dogs, horses are at the top of my list). I wear flip-flops pretty much everywhere I go. I would rather stay awake until 5 am than get up at 5 am (years of bar tending have left their mark), if I can, I'm going to the beach AND I will always be nice to people who bring me chocolate...or coffee...if you bring me both, I'll probably love you forever.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">When wounded soldier Blake Connor returns from Afghanistan, he wants nothing more than to hide from the world. He’s plagued by the memory of his best friend’s death and the pain of his own injuries. On top of all that, he has another burden to carry.
<i>Take care of our girl</i>.
Blake’s vow to watch over the woman who was left behind is overshadowed by his self-contempt and bitterness, making it impossible for him to reach out to her like he’d promised.
Jennifer Owens had expected to get married the moment her fiancé returned home from the war, but the news of his death changed everything. Shattered by her loss, she is still struggling with feelings of guilt when she receives an unexpected letter that raises new questions and reopens old wounds.
Jennifer’s need for answers leads her to Blake’s doorstep, but she is met with hostility and rejection from a man who only vaguely resembles the head-turning charmer she remembers from so long ago. Blake is determined to keep her at arm’s length, and Jennifer soon discovers that she must decide whether to push back or let him go.
Caught up in circumstances beyond their control, Jennifer and Blake have to learn to accept the truths that lie below the surface. She comes to recognize the beauty underneath the scars, and Blake realizes that he’s broken in more ways than he cares to admit.
Nothing will ever be the same for this ex-Army Ranger once he faces the truth. If he can learn to accept the help he needs, he might be able to overcome his warped self-image and emotional scars. To be the man Jennifer deserves, he must heal his wounds before he loses the woman he loves forever.

<span style="background-color: white;">“It’s Trent’s dog tag,” he whispered.
“Why are you wearing his name?”
“It is tribute to a brave man and a friend.” His gaze was unwavering, so intense that she shuddered. When she didn’t say a word, his voice was filled with uncertainty. “Am I disgusting you?”
Jennifer shook her head and spoke in a firm voice. “I love everything about you. This . . .” She traced a finger on the raised skin. “Is what makes you, you. I would never ask for anything more.” She lowered her mouth to kiss each scar, feeling his breath hitching with every touch of her lips.
He cupped her face and planted a kiss on her lips. “I want to be perfect for you.”

<span style="background-color: white;">Lorenz Font discovered her love of writing after reading a celebrated novel that inspired one idea after another. She is currently enjoying the buzz from her vampire novels <i>Hunted</i> and <i>Tormented</i>, the first and second book of The Gates Legacy trilogy, <i>Indivisible Line</i>, a romantic thriller, and <i>Feather Light</i>, an erotic romance.
Lorenz’s perfect day consists of writing and lounging on her garage couch, aka the office, with a glass of her favorite cabernet while listening to her ever-growing music collection. She enjoys dabbling in different genres, with an intense focus on angst and the redemption of flawed characters. Her fascination with romantic twists is a mainstay in all her stories.
Lorenz lives in California with her husband, children, and two demanding dogs. She divides her time between her full-time job as a hospital office manager and her busy writing schedule.
