About Wildest Dreams: Cloud Canyon Book 3 by JoMarie DeGioia

*What do you do when life gives you a second chance at a dream?*

Josie Corbin came to Cloud Canyon a year ago, hoping to find a new life. She had no illusions of a new love, though. She gave up on that dream when the guy she fell for ghosted her three years earlier.

Pete Kelly works with cars and has no problem getting his hands dirty. He moved his kid sister and brother to Cloud Canyon to start over when their parents died, but he’d had to leave the one woman he’d ever loved. Responsibility doused his dreams of forever and now he focuses on work and pretty much nothing else. What good is it to dream about a future that might never come?

When Josie’s car breaks down, Pete comes to her rescue. She’s stunned, and a little bit pissed. He’s ashamed he’d taken what he considers the coward’s way out when he’d ended things. They can’t deny their attraction is still there and, though she says it won’t happen again, Pete insists that they aren’t over. He vows to make up for what he did all those years ago.

Will Josie get past the hurt when she learns what Pete did for his family?

Or is it too late to realize their wildest dreams?

ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth

About ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth

Rosco McGlashan is a legend of Australian motor sport and drag racing. He is also the current Australian land speed record holder. His early years were tough. He spent time in state-run homes and remand centres, eventually leaving home and school at 12. He then drives up north in Western Australia to find work, increasing his age from 12 to 16, to fund his racing career.

He fought everyone and everything and, at 17, ended up in prison and even solitary confinement. Once released, his salvation comes through his love of speed and raw horsepower. He focuses his fighting spirit and energy on racing and going very fast.

His V8 drag bike and jet dragsters take him from Perth and WA all over Australia, New Zealand and the USA. He meets some incredible people, leading to some amazing adventures and tales that will leave you speechless.

Later, his motorsport career and quest for speed took him to other countries. He gets kidnapped by the Russian Mafia when trying to buy two MIG jet fighter engines and fights his way out. He crashes a car at nearly 600 mph. He also clinically dies on an operating table when another car he was racing went off a mountain road in driving rain. He was revived and went on to break many motor racing and land speed records.

He meets mass murderers and world leaders, then casually chats with the Dalai Lama. Eventually, Rosco turned his attention to breaking the Australian and world land speed records, a goal he set himself at age 12. In 1994 he beat Donald Campbell’s Australian land speed record.

Rosco and the Aussie Invader team are putting the finishing touches to their latest record-breaker, the world’s fastest and most powerful car, Aussie Invader 5R. This car has 200,000 horsepower, the equivalent of 200 Formula One cars! It can accelerate from 0 – 1000 mph in just 22 seconds.

You won’t be able to put “ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth” down. This Kindle book is an incredibly inspiring, moving and motivational true story of guts, grit, and determination. Quitting is not in this man’s vocabulary.

Touching the Hero’s Heart by Aurrora St. James

About Touching the Hero’s Heart by Aurrora St. James

Special Forces prepared him for everything… except the Regency era, and her.

Former Navy SEAL Archer Bennett retreated from the world after barely surviving the ambush that left him permanently injured, but the disappearance of his sisters has forced him out of isolation. During his search, he finds an unusual clock that sends him back two hundred years to the Regency era—and to the rescue of a feisty young woman who ignites his desire. But Archer has seen and done too much to inflict his demons on any woman—especially one as beautiful and vibrant as Violet.

After years of her mother’s neglect, Lady Violet Hawthorne desperately wants a family of her own, but her brother won’t let her within a furlong of a suitable gentleman. That changes when she accidentally falls into the arms of a wounded warrior who is unlike anyone she’s ever known. He’s grumpy, dangerous, and incredibly handsome, even with scars that seem to run deep. One look in those pain-filled eyes and Violet discovers an undeniable attraction that she never expected, and an honorable man worth fighting for. But Archer is determined to keep her at a distance, until she begins to receive mysterious notes that set off his protective instincts.

Archer fears the sender may have dishonorable intentions and vows to keep her safe until he can return home. Their desire for each other burns hotter the longer they spend together, but with an unknown man pursuing Violet, Archer must either fight his own demons to win her heart, or return to the future alone.

About The Bulletproof Mind: Sharpen Your Wits, Get Back On Your Feet, And Thrive In An Ever-Changing World

“Who says you need resilience or grit to get ahead of the curve? Here’s what’s MORE IMPORTANT than having these two combined…

Do you know what LeBron James, Malala Yusufzai, and Bethany Hamilton have in common?

There has to be a success ingredient… right?

They ALL faced some of the most crippling obstacles… but still came out on top!

The question is HOW?

WHAT makes these incredibly successful people… incredible?

Is it resilience? Grit? Or something else?

Although resilience and grit both are extremely important…

WHAT actually separates these wildly successful people from the masses is their… Mental Toughness.

Their ability to remain calm and focused no matter how challenging the situation is!

According to a 2002 study published by the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, Mental Toughness was ranked as one of the highest-ranked characteristics that predict success.

In this study, Gould Daniel, Dieffenbach Kristen, and Moffett Aaron examined the psychological characteristics of ten US Olympic champions and concluded that Mental Toughness is a TOP deciding factor that determines success.

And contrary to popular belief…

Mental Toughness is NOT reserved for a select few.

It’s there for the taking by anyone willing to put in the work and see it through.

The only thing you need?

And this book gives you that blueprint!

Not only does it show you how to build your mental toughness…

…It also gives you tools to turn even your toughest challenges into success stories!

Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover inside:

What Tim Ferris, Oprah Winfrey, and Jack Dorsey make time for every day despite their packed schedules to keep their mental skills sharp!
How to use a bucket, some water, and a little bit of sand to become mentally tough
Why mental toughness is NOT the same as resilience (not knowing the difference between the two can actually be harmful!)
How to flex your mental toughness muscles in as little as 2 minutes a day (this simple trick will be a game-changer for you)
The Three Column Challenge Technique to attack and tap out one of the biggest enemies standing in your way to become a mentally tough person
How a study done by an Italian economist 200 years ago can multiply your mental toughness and productivity today
The 3 cognitive biases (out of 150!) you must be aware of if you ever hope to become a mentally tough person (the irony is one of these 3 biases is considered a strength!)
One simple mindset shift that will immediately turn you into the boss of your emotions! (After knowing this, you’ll never let stress consume you ever again)

…and much, much more!

Everyone has the potential to do GREAT things.

The problem is not everyone has the confidence to try.
