Girl on a Swing (Wounded Bird Book #1) by Bella Roccaforte

Sometimes the road love takes a detour…

It’s been 10 years since Wren’s parents were killed in a car accident, leaving her and her brother behind. Wren’s life has been spiraling downward ever since. She’s trapped in an abusive marriage, her career as an artist has never had a chance to flourish, and all of her hope is gone. If she doesn’t break away from all that’s dragging her down, she’s afraid she’ll never escape it.

She turns to her lifelong friend, Maddox, the only person who’s been there for her through it all. He helps her understand her own strength so she can finally begin making bold changes in her life. But falling in love with him was never part of the plan.

When their forbidden relationship jeopardizes everything Wren has worked for, will anyone be left standing by her side?

What happens when destiny leads you to the one? You follow it.

What happens when you finally meet her and she’s unavailable? You make her a deal she can’t refuse.

From the author of “Hello Fabulous!” comes a semi-romantic comedy called “She’s the One?”

Wally has never had issues dating women. The problem is he cannot keep them straight. When a string of dates ends with Wally forgetting past flings’ names, he begins to wonder if settling down is the answer.

Enter Sharon, a beautiful single woman who appears on Wally’s radar by virtue of random sightings throughout town.

As Wally’s dating life spirals out of control, and through continuous pressure from his parents to deliver grandkids, the Sharon sightings validate his desire to meet the one.

When things can’t get any worse, destiny takes over and brings Wally and Sharon together as best man and maid of honor for Sam and Helen, a couple they coincidentally know.

Wally and Sharon first meet at, of all places, a church for the rehearsal. Wally is now convinced that destiny exists and is here to bring them together. During the rehearsal, Wally plays back his entire life, which consists of dating women, dating women, and dating women, piecing together all the Sharon sightings that lead up to this magical moment. Wally then makes his move and asks Sharon out.

The problem? She’s a lesbian.

Wally makes her a deal that if they go out one time and it doesn’t work out, he will never EVER bother her again. She agrees, for nothing more than to shut Wally up, giving him “one chance” to win her over.

Wally then develops a fail proof plan. Since Sharon likes women, there is only one thing he can do – develop all non-guy mannerisms. Wally does and the result is hilarity.

Fans of Dave Barry, Albert Brooks, and Kevin Smith will love this semi-romantic comedy and satire about chasing the one you can’t have.

Evil stalks TJ McKendrick.

Three years after burying her father, TJ visits Honduras for answers to his untimely death. While there, she witnesses a murder and is forced to flee through the forbidding jungle.

The last thing Garrett Cameron wants is another woman mucking up his life, but when the feisty vixen that botched his mission in Honduras shows up at his ranch running for her life, what’s a man to do?

TJ chooses to leave a past full of betrayals behind and trust Garrett to protect her. He’s lived a life of violence. Revealing his soul’s dark side will surely drive TJ away. Or will it?

A ghostly contemporary romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Edie Claire.

4.5-Star Romantic Times Top Pick and winner of the Road to Romance Reviewer’s Choice Award!

Years and distance kept the memories at bay. But back at home, the past is ready and waiting to haunt her…

Eighteen years have passed since Joy’s childhood best friend, Jenny, met her death in a tragic car accident just a few days after their senior prom. A broken Joy left their small Kentucky hometown shortly after — determined never to come back. But when her father’s illness forces her to return, she realizes that neither time nor distance have truly healed her troubled soul.

Plagued with nightmares of the accident and crippled by a vague fear whose source she can’t identify, housecall veterinarian Joy realizes that in order to move on she must face the truth behind several disturbing gaps in her memory of that fateful spring. But the only person who can help her is a man she despises: Jenny’s erstwhile boyfriend Jeff, now a respected doctor, whose carelessness as a teenager was the cause of Jenny’s horrendous death — and Joy’s own emotional destruction. Can she ever forgive? She may have no choice but to try. Because both the danger she sensed — and the childhood friendship she treasured — now suddenly seem very much alive…

7 Tips for a Successful Marriage is a contemporary relationship guide to marital conflict and issues. Like many marriage help books, it offers sound marriage advice on how to solve problems that couples frequently encounter, supported by many examples of the author’s personal experience. The unique approach to the “opposites attract” theory offers both insight and humor in the best of the ” Mars. . . and Venus” tradition. The importance of choices, communication, and compromise is a recurrent theme throughout the book. It’s a “must have” for newlyweds and a ” wish I’d known” for veterans who not only want to survive as a couple, but want to achieve marriage success.

The Daughter-in-law Syndrome delves into the complicated relationship that is causing much friction between Grandmother Edna Deane and her daughter-in-law Arla. In addition it focuses on the sometimes tumultuous partnership between Arla and her husband Ric.

Arla Deane sometimes likens her marriage to undergoing daily psychological warfare. Husband Ric will never voice an opinion, and puts his mother Edna up high on a pedestal. Arla is sick of always feeling that she comes in at only second best to her mother-in-law, who much to Arla’s fury is never told anything by Ric or his sisters that she would not want to hear.

This novel explores the husband/wife, mother/son, and mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships. After twenty eight years of marriage, Arla, the daughter-in-law, is at the end of her tether and persuades a reluctant Ric to accompany her for marriage guidance. As they look back over their lives with Counsellor Toni Beecher, Arla slowly comes to realise her own failings, and eventually discovers the long-hidden reason why Ric will never utter a cross word to his mother.

Also, adding to Arla’s stress is the fact that her son Stuart will soon be marrying Ria, a girl whom Arla feels is just looking for a free ride. Arla is convinced that Ria will be no asset to Stuart at all; her new daughter-in-law just wants to be a mother and has no intention of ever working again once the babies start to arrive. After visiting Stuart and Ria for Sunday lunch, Arla is convinced that her son is making the biggest mistake of his life…..

Coffee, Love, and Other Stimulants

Good coffee is easy—true love is a little harder for Kate, a pharmaceutical student who has a knack for finding the wrong man. While she finishes college, Kate tries to focus on a life where hazelnut syrup in her coffee is enough of a satisfaction. But what is she to do when the wrong guys keep hitting on her? It’s no help that her roommate Samantha—aka Sam—has already found the love of her life and keeps urging Kate to live it up a little. But will Kate wake up and smell the love in the air and realize Mr. Right has actually been right next to her for a very long time?

Stealing Back Love *This book contains X rated content*

Amy Holden’s life is a mess—but when she meets an old flame at her high school reunion she finds her passion for life rekindled. But is Marc Nicolli really everything she wants? Or is there more lurking beneath that handsome surface than she can handle? Marc keeps tempting her to do the unthinkable—have a hot, sexy affair with him. But Amy isn’t sure if he wants anything more than a trip down memory lane and a good time in bed. Is he out to steal her away from everything she knows about safety and suburban life? Or maybe he’s out to steal her heart for good this second time around.

The Family Garden

There is a saying that goes, “You reap what you sow.” If your life was a garden and your family, your seeds, what would your family garden look like? For Samantha and Richard, life isn’t always what they planned. They couldn’t be more proud of their children, their home and the life they built together. But when storms come to weather their lives, will the roots that Samantha and Richard planted together be strong enough to fight the storm, or will they dig in, stand firm and wait for the sun to shine again?
In The Family Garden, readers are treated to a broad spectrum of matters of the heart. When it comes to love, nothing is as it seems. We all have masks, and what is revealed beyond our disguises is enough to take your breath away.
