Author: Apryl Baker
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: May 14th, 2020
Blurb:A past tragedy has left Lily Holmes burdened with a devastating secretâ¦
Since the death of her twin sister, Lily canât bear to be touched. Not accidentally, not casuallyâ¦and certainly not intimately. This makes it impossible for her to confess to her best friend Adam Roberts that sheâs in love with him. She canât give him the sort of relationship he needs, so she watches in silence while he plans his wedding with someone else.
Enter Nikoli Kinkaid, the campus manwhoreâ¦
Nikoli is a self-proclaimed connoisseur of women, and he wants to add Lily to his list of conquests, but she wants nothing to do with himâuntil he makes her an offer she canât refuse. Heâll teach her to enjoy human contact again, giving her a chance to win over Adam, while Nikoli uses all his considerable charm to seduce her.
But Lily raises the stakesâ¦
Lily loves cars. Her late father was a racer, and she grew up under the hood of a car and on the racetrack. Nikoli has a limited edition 1970 Plymouth Barracuda she covets, so she informs him the terms of their deal also require he not sleep with anyone for six months. If he does, sheâll win the car. If she surrenders and ends up in his bed, his beloved âCuda is his to keep.
In an intricate dance of control and surrender, a reluctant friendship becomes something more. Lily begins to crave things she never believed she could, and Nikoli realizes there is more at stake than his reputation.
If Lily overcomes her phobia, will she crave Adamâs touch as sheâs starting to crave Nikoliâs? Or will she only find pleasure from the touch of a semi-reformed manwhore?
So who am I?
Well, Iâm the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesnât love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.
Now, I live in a small town in West Virginia where I entertain my niece and nephew and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierceâ¦lol.
I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

Sometimes love shatters the best-laid plans.
A fling.
Our little secret.
It was fun. He was available, with a sharp tongue and a killer body.
My attraction was palpable. I couldnât resist the magnetic pull I felt anytime he was around. And to be honest, I didnât want to.
But like all good things, our tryst came to an end.
Even though our time between the sheets may have been over that didnât mean I wasnât still attracted to him. It didnât erase the fact I dreamed of him at night and remembered our time together fondly.
Because if thereâs one thing I can say for sure about Nathan, itâs that heâs unforgettable. In more ways than one.

Turns out, Everleigh is marrying the man she stoleâand in Fiji no less.
The ruse â¦

Title: Buried in the Bayou & Whispers in the Lake
Author: Brandy Nacole
Genre: YA Paranormal Suspense
Cover Designer: Melissa Stevens at The Illustrated Author
Blurb: Our lifestyle, son, doesnât have room for happily ever after.
My dad drilled this mantra into my head so many times I used to chant it in my sleep. Then came Jo. She made it impossible to remember the danger of teaching an outsider our secrets. I wanted her to know everything about me. The danger of this truth became all too real and after helping her find peace in her small town, I left to keep her safe.
My sister and I hit the road to continue our family duty of slaying evil spirits. With another closed case behind us, we head to the Louisiana Bayou to solve a murder and find a missing hunter. But as we dig through the townâs history, we begin to discover this is not a simple haunting. A darker evil is feeding the spirits. An evil we may not be able to beat.
As the danger begins to mount, Jo appears in my life again. As much as I want to be with her, I must do everything I can to keep her safe. Even if it means she'll hate me forever. After all, our lifestyle doesn't have room for happily ever after.
Blurb:
Dark betrayals can lead to dark consequences.
It had always been the two of us, me and my brother Cooper. Taught to hunt ghosts and send them on their way, we were raised as a team by our mother and father. Now, I'm riding solo. After getting a call from an old friend, I take her request for help. It's the best excuse I've got to put 2,000 miles between me, my past, and all the other emotions I'm not wanting to feel right now.
On a lake in Maine, apparitions are seen and cries are heard across the smooth waterâs surface. Many have drowned near a small island that sits in the lake's center. The town is tight lipped and claims they were all accidents, but I know better. One drowning, sure. Dozens, not so much.
However, the more I start to uncover about the town and its dark history, the more my own past begins to catch up with me. This time, the dark betrayals will not go unnoticed and with nowhere to hide, I have no choice but to face them.
Whenever sheâs not reading or writing, Brandy is spending time with her family and friends, throwing around crazy ideas, teaching, and singing like a rock star at a concert for no one else but herself. She loves plants, but unfortunately is a killer of anything that requires water but canât voice (scream) their needs.

Editor: Stacy Sanford/ The Girl with the Red Pen
Cover Designer: Melissa Stevens/ The Illustrated Author Design Services
Publication Date: March 13th, 2020
Blurb: Spirit and Stone. Song and Sky. Fate and Future all align.
On my seventeenth birthday, I finally heard Fateâs voice. He whispered to me again and again, insisting I find the Omen of Stones. Having never heard of such lore, I thought I could ignore his pleas. The Summer Solstice proved otherwise. Being surrounded by fellow witches worked my magic up into a powerful swell that crashed and churned within me. As the energy crackled through my veins, I shunned my royal duties to follow the call of my heart.
Venturing beyond the safety of the Kingdomâs borders, I felt Fate nudging me toward a destiny I was eager to claim. Confidence in my craft blinded me from the ominous clouds of danger that roiled on the horizon.
Captured by purists dead-set on purging the Kingdom of magic and witches, my salvation came in the form of a mysterious girl who wielded stones like daggers. Something about her called to me, whispering we were stronger together, strong enough to stand against the dark forces threatening to crush my kingdom. Trusting Fate could jeopardize my heritage and my throne, but defying him could cost Omenâs life.

I looked around at our house, then to the boy standing in it, into his honey-gold eyes. âI donât regret saving you, and I donât regret bringing you here, or making salve for you, or letting you stay. I donât regret walking with you to see the flood. But if I had let those men drown you, or if I wouldâve left you bound in the rope when I had the means to sever it, or outside without a roof over your head when I had one to offer⦠If Iâd refused to ease the pain in your wrists, River, I would have regretted it. I would have regretted every second of any and all of those choices.â

Ava Kirkland knows three things for certain: One, Bradley will always be her BFF. Two, science is the best subject ever. Three, ghosts don't exist. Two out of three ain't bad. Twenty years ago, Mosley Manor was left abandoned. The haunted house of White's Chapel, Tennessee, has become the local dare—the place kids sneak to see if they are brave enough to go inside. Ava isn't scared of Mosley Manor in the slightest. She believes in facts. According to her, anyone who is scared of Mosley Manor should be ashamed. Unless that person is her best friend, Bradley. He gets a free pass because he's, well, he's been terrified of the house as long as Ava has known him. In fact, he was originally the person who told her about the house and all the ghosts inside. Unfortunately for Ava, her parents decide to buy their first house (YAY!), and it ends up being Mosley Manor (no...). Ava isn't afraid of the place, just not happy about leaving her old rental house next to her BFF. It's also not wonderful that it's the only thing anyone at school wants to talk about. Ava's brother starts acting even weirder than normal, Mama and Daddy never used to fight like this, and by golly, those upstairs doors have minds of their own. Ava may not believe in ghosts, but they certainly believe in her. For fans of The Graveyard Book and Coraline by Neil Gaiman and The Goosebumps series by R.L. Stine. PREORDER NOW!
