Dear
Olivia,
I’m
sorry I couldn’t stay. I had to leave because you asked me to take
care of your brother and I didn’t. I couldn’t. It was the one
time I never had his back and because of me he died. I couldn’t
face you after that….
Those
words …
That
was the point when my broken heart softened and let him back in.
Eight
years ago when Sam left my world ended and it reminded me of how
forbidden he was to me growing up.
He
was my older brother’s best friend and the guy from the wrong side
of the track.
He
was the gorgeous rebel with his bright blue eyes who was bad news.
But,
when I looked at him I saw the good … even when he didn’t.
He
was my first everything.
I
gave him my heart, body and soul, thinking we’d always be together.
It
was a lie.
My
heart shattered into a million pieces when he left.
Now,
he wants a second chance.
He
wants me again and not just for one night.
Loving
him once was a mistake.
Loving
him twice is beyond my control.
It
feels like the best mistake of my life, until I realize there’s
more secrets that could destroy us.
Again…
Dear

Author: Kevin Alston
Publisher: Xlibris Publishing
Pages: 48
Genre: Memoir/Nonfiction
This book is a culmination of the author’s life, but mainly the past
10 years, where personal tragedies have led him to discover more about
the correlation with food, nutrition & the diseases of today, &
how it affects us all. This program is an experiment of sorts, with the author using himself
as the guinea pig, with positive results having been discovered, &
hopefully, in time, even bigger positive results yet to come. Between our government & Big Business, we, the people, are
already involved in an experiment. It’s like a big laboratory. With
all of the harmful toxins that are allowed in our air, food, &
water, diseases are at epidemic-like levels, & the author, for one,
would like to know if there is more to this than is being told to us. It
speaks volumes when other nations refuse to accept grains & meats
from us, or at least it does to the author. Most of the ailments we suffer from today emanate from our guts,
& our poor diets keep the sickness-wheels turning, costing each of
us millions of dollars, a whole lot of heartache, pain, &
suffering. It’s time to make a change, & that change started with
the author’s experiment on himself.

Moving
a Little Heart
Little
Hearts Book 1
by Breanna Hayse
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Baylor
Parish needs a fresh start. After a disastrous, loveless marriage and
an emotionally neglected childhood, she packs her things and moves to
a new house out in the desert to get away from it all and enjoy her
freedom.
Unfortunately,
the occupants of the house next door have other ideas.
As
soon as Hayden Paterson spots her moving in, he takes over. Next, she
meets his stepbrother Jake, a cop who takes her safety far more
seriously than Baylor does herself. The last thing Baylor wants is to
get into another relationship, but the Paterson brothers rescue
people for a living, and from the moment they clap eyes on her, they
label the 23-year-old a 'damsel in distress.' Not only do they do
everything in their power to protect, nurture and guide her, but they
also enlist the help of their longtime friends and roommates; Terry
and Matt.
Hayden
and Jake come together to woo her to become a part of their unique
family. To them, she is an adult little girl in need of the love,
caring, nurturing – and yes, discipline – that only two “Daddies”
can provide. To the independent Baylor, the assumption that she is in
dire need of “Daddycare” seems not only strange, but completely
opposed to the self-sufficiency she thought she wanted.
As
well as her new Daddy Hayden and Daddy Jake, Baylor also finds
herself in the care of “Uncle” Terry, a retired medic. He’s the
burly, protective “house mom” and “doctor”, who is not only
thrilled to have a little girl to care for, but likes to take control
of Baylor’s health in ways that she preferred he did not. Then
there is Matt, the resident “hippie”, who quickly becomes
Baylor’s adoring “big brother” and helps her devise ways to get
into mischief… which frequently lands her over the lap of one of
her new daddies.
Basking
in the loving embrace of these four men, Baylor’s inner child
emerges, and under their sometimes stern, but always loving, care,
she not only discovers her ability to play and laugh, she also begins
to trust and feel loved. She also learns that a bottom bared for
punishment can experience intense pleasure when used in “special”
ways by one – or both – of her two men.
Despite
her happiness, Baylor continues to struggle with allowing herself to
fully submit. Is this lifestyle, the one of a Little girl with two
Daddies, an Uncle and a Big Brother, right for her? Will she be able
to leave behind her loveless, uncaring past and allow her heart to be
moved to permanently reside within the arms and home of these very
special men?
This
#1 Best Seller is geared towards those readers who enjoy realistic
age-play/BDSM, menage and a loving, healthy family life of a house
full of alpha males. If discipline/sensual spanking, anal, and
medical play aren't your 'cup of tea,' then you haven't read a book
like this!

Life Singular Series Book 1

Lorraine Pestell
Genre:
Contemporary Women's Fiction
First
in Epic 7-part Serial: Love and Loss, Celebrity and Secrets
The
Endless Pursuit of Love and Wisdom
What
do you do when you lose the one who gave your life meaning? You write
about it. You tell the world how amazing it is to love and be loved
by someone so special, what love helps you achieve and how it makes
you stronger.
Jeff
Diamond had built a life of influence, adulation and wealth by making
the right choices for the right reasons. He lived by the law of
reciprocity, a lesson learned on the streets as a teenager with
nothing but an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Plagued by the
scars of a violent childhood, he created his vision and fought for
it. And once he no longer needed to fight for himself, he fought for
others.
Yet
when Jeff’s dream girl was taken from him and their children by the
ignorant act of a jealous misfit from his own home town, the
millionnaire realised just how far he had come. Why had he succeeded
when so many like him fail? It wasn’t complicated. The secret lay
in the endless pursuit of love and wisdom; life’s two magic
ingredients. Now Lynn was gone, he resolved to use his remaining days
to account for their life in a way that would inspire young people to
make his type of choice rather than GarcÃa’s.
Then
after their story was written, he would be free to go after her, to
begin the whole incredible journey over again. Everyone has a life
singular: one; unique; extraordinary.
Writing
an autobiography on behalf of someone else presented Jeff with an
interesting dilemma. Did he make assumptions about what Lynn would
have included, or should he restrict her contribution to direct
quotes from her letters and diaries? He had their kids to protect,
and her parents…
As
he worked through the huge amount of material available in the press
about their life as it had taken shape, interlacing it with highly
personal stories, the widower crafted chapter after chapter of
memories, both happy and heartbreaking. If this was to be a true
account of their partnership, he owed it to the memory of his
beautiful best friend to cover so much more than what was already on
public record.
When
it came to adding his own reminiscences of those early months, about
meeting someone he already knew intimately, Jeff had no difficulty in
recalling every single, vivid moment. Entire conversations came back
to him, sometimes word for word, rushing through his fingers and into
the computer.
Photographs
prompted him too, as did the treasured possessions that surrounded
him, like the old leather jacket he had received on his twentieth
birthday. Lynn had left him shortly after that, just like she had
left him now. The pull of being together again was unrelenting, but
Jeff hung on to the dream that their life singular would one day
resume. Once their story had been told.
Writing
an autobiography on behalf of someone else presented Jeff with an
interesting dilemma. Did he make assumptions about what Lynn would
have included, or should he restrict her contribution to direct
quotes from her letters and diaries? He had their kids to protect,
and her parents.
Fame
and fortune beckoned. Jeff Diamond was a success, whatever that
meant. Fans followed him everywhere, reporters and photographers hid
around every corner and journalists recorded his many indiscretions.
A whole different world to the downtrodden streets of Sydney’s
south-west, where vices were satisfied by using people to one’s
best advantage.
The
star had more money than he could spend, his opinion suddenly
counted, and the opportunities to feed his ever-hungry mind were
plentiful. Yet the demons continued to torment him, no longer
protected by the guardian angel who had been spirited away as soon as
her family found out who Jeff Diamond was and where he had come from.
Suddenly
the ambitious businessman and philanthropist found himself in the
fight of his life. He would win Lynn’s heart by showing her father
he was worthy, and by convincing his dream girl that they had
something worth fighting for. Would she risk throwing her privileged
lifestyle away for a man whose public persona depended on alcohol,
drugs and a string of pretty girls?
Jeff
had nothing to lose. The trappings of his new life held little
significance until the soul-mates were reunited. This was where their
life singular really began. Up until this point, there had only been
playtime. Now they must step up and take responsibility. It was up to
them.
So
this was it! Lynn and Jeff, two celebrities driven to change the
world together, had grasped their life singular with both hands and
were not about to let go. They had the Midas touch, gifted through
the virtues of reciprocity and a deepening understanding of right
versus wrong.
The
prospect of turning two into four, mirroring the black jetstone ring
that lived on the handsome man’s right hand, filled the couple with
excitement. Never in his wildest dreams had the no-good street kid
imagined himself as a father. His own had given him nothing. So much
less than nothing, in fact.
Should
Jeff settle that score? Was it worth disturbing the paradise they had
planned, where their well-established careers showed no sign of
slowing down and their hard work yielded so much for so many?
Surfacing past wrongs and holding people to account for setting them
right were part and parcel of letting go, his dream girl had
insisted. And who was he to argue? She had been right all along.
As
the book’s extraordinary chapters continued to document the
achievements of their life singular, the solitary author cried and
smiled in equal measure through the arrival of a small boy with
blond, curly hair and the sultry gipsy girl who could see inside his
soul from the moment she was born. Lynn had given him two new friends
who must now be steered through their young lives, learning their own
lessons about the endless pursuit of love and wisdom.
The
world was an enormous place; full of good and evil, beauty and
ugliness, wonder and despair. Sometimes all seemed lost, returning
from the latest round of negotiations and attempting to balance the
surreal career of a chart-topping musician with the demands of an
advocate for those discarded by mainstream society. With every
problem the Diamonds worked to solve, a new one would be right around
the corner.
All was not lost, however. Unity and liberty, the
twin spirits living in two perfect beings waiting for him at home,
were all Jeff needed to spur him on. They would one day inherit the
world which he and his beautiful best friend were intent on changing
for the better, along with the millions of others who wrote to the
couple every day, seeking ever more of their energy, time and
money.
The tired author kept reverting to the theme of
reciprocity. We should never take more than we give. If only they
could convince enough people of their byword… It was right that the
struggle should never end. What would he do if it did? There was no
room for self-satisfied fat cats in their life singular. What sort of
example might that set for those who must follow?
Lynn had
departed, the children were growing stronger now, and the widower
heard the clock ticking night after night after night. Still with so
many amazing experiences to recount, the lost boy knew his dream girl
couldn’t wait forever. He was grateful for this opportunity to set
the record straight, but gratitude could only take him so far.
Lynn
Dyson and Jeff Diamond had become the celebrity couple with the Midas
touch. With their son showing every sign of fulfilling his sporting
destiny and a teenaged daughter who was already driven to right the
world’s wrongs, they were showered with accolades and adoration
from every corner of the globe.
How had this nobody from the
wrong side of the tracks got so lucky? With his dream girl by his
side every step of the way, the superstar’s multi-faceted career
knew no bounds. Politicians clamoured for photo-opportunities, the
press hung on his every word and the success of their business empire
funnelled millions of dollars into worthy causes.
Had it all been worth it? The
book held these secrets, painstakingly transcribed by a man who
couldn’t wait to find out what was to come. Whether taken from his
lover’s journals, the children’s memories or the cataclysm of
poetry pouring from his lonely heart, the months leading up to his
next challenge had legitimised every decision the forever couple had
ever made.
He only hoped the same good fortune would hold true
in the next lifetime.

It
was now time to finish things off properly, and that began by
acknowledging the mate who had stood by Jeff for almost thirty
years. Gerry Blake had been his squash partner, his manager,
his drinking buddy and his best man through the whole incredible
journey, in so many ways his alter-ego. He was now getting
married for the first time at forty-seven years old, no doubt spooked
by what had happened to his old friend.
