She’s Got that Fire

About She’s Got that Fire

He’s a volunteer firefighter, a roofer, and a mountain man hoping for love. She’s a photographer, a videographer, a possible pyromaniac and…She’s got that fire.

Opal is just as precious and fascinating as her namesake. A blue-eyed blonde with curves and attitude, who is completely fixated on her work.

(Even though she might have slight arsonist tendencies.)

She has an incredible eye for detail. Can she tell I’m already obsessed with her? She’s an artist, yet is also a work of art herself… every sweep of her hips and toss of her hair is embedded into my memory.

It can’t be natural to feel this much lust for someone so fast. Although it’s much more than that. These feelings… Brand new and glittering and tangled in my head like a long string of Christmas lights.

Opal doesn’t want to get me in trouble with the VFFT. Doesn’t want to jump into things too fast.

Flames always follow the fuel. The most flammable path. It’s not my fault that our blaze is instantaneous. I know I can be the perfect man for her, and release all of her dreams and desires.

My girl is so full of fire that I know we’ll never die out.

Reborn in Ash

About Reborn in Ash

Magic abandoned humanity millennia ago. Now it returns, bringing ruin to a wanted thief, and her chance for redemption.

When ash fell like snow, everyone it touched grew ill with fever. Most died. Ada Renwick didn’t. She endured the ash plague, food shortages, and brutal riots, only for one merchant’s greed to threaten her livelihood. To keep her jewellery business afloat, Ada turned to thievery. Now she wants revenge.

Breaking into the merchant’s manor, Ada discovers unfamiliar gems that carry a shocking truth. Earth magic hides within them, and she can wield it. But the first time she does, she makes a mistake that leaves a man dead.

Sickened by her crime and hunted for it, Ada runs. Yet, using magic feels as natural as breathing. She’ll do anything to keep it, even join a war she wants no part of. It’s not until Ada meets a woman who can wield fire magic that she realises some things are worth fighting for.

But fire burns anything that gets too close.

Rescued by the Surly Woodsman

About Rescued by the Surly Woodsman

Be careful out in the woods.
You might run into the love of your life.

What an incredible nature walk… until I end up lost and hurt.

I’m stuck. Helpless.

I think it’s a bear lumbering toward me, but no… this guy is even grumpier. Surly, even. Barrett seems to soften a bit around the edges when he sees that I’m not the average loud, littering tourist.

This handsome older man doesn’t seem to realize he’s so sexy I can hardly breathe. He’s as massive as the mountain, and nearly as quiet. His tree trunk arms feel like my shelter, and his soulful eyes possess a stillness that I find inspirational.

He’s extremely protective. Almost too much. And he definitely wants me.

This wild lust overtakes us both, but it seems too quick to be something everlasting.

Could this gorgeous mountain man truly be obsessed already?

Swingers Tie the Knot by Jake Ellwood

About Swingers Tie the Knot by Jake Ellwood

Warren and Olivia have been together for nearly ten years, five of which they have been living together, and much of that time they have been swingers. Although they have considered themselves engaged to be married the entire time, they have never set a date, until now.

It was to have been a simple, ordinary wedding, but after a strip club bachelor party, a raucous beach house bachelorette party, and a couple crashing the wedding reception, it was anything but ordinary. It was exactly what you’d expect from a couple in the lifestyle, and they’re going to have to live with the consequences, good and bad.

Dorcheat

About Dorcheat

When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, artist Christopher DuVall thought he’d lost everything. He was wrong—his past was waiting to claim him in the haunted shadows of home.

Fourteen years ago, Christopher fled the small Louisiana town of Bellemire, abandoning a broken family and memories too raw to face.

Now, with his world in ruins, he’s forced back to the place he vowed never to return. In his childhood home, he confronts his estranged mother and the suffocating weight of a tragedy that shattered their lives: the mysterious deaths of his six-year-old sister Joan and his father at the family’s isolated cabin on Dorcheat Bayou.

As ghosts of memory rise from the bayou’s dark waters, Christopher can no longer escape the guilt and secrets that have shadowed his life.

In the sweltering Louisiana summer, amid cypress trees and buried truths, he unravels the mystery of that fateful night—and his own role in the devastation that followed.

A Southern Gothic tale of family secrets, addiction, and art’s redemptive power, Dorcheat explores whether redemption is possible when the past refuses to stay buried.

What if the next hard conversation didn’t wreck your day—or your relationship?
What if you could speak honestly, hold your boundaries, and still leave the room with trust intact?

In Difficult Conversations Made Simple, communication strategist Sean Ashford distills years of coaching into a practical playbook readers can use at home, at work, and with the people who matter most. Drawing on real-world scenarios—from tense 1:1s to family flare-ups—Ashford shows how small, repeatable moves beat perfect scripts every time.

In this book you will discover:

A reliable way to open tough talks so the other person listens instead of braces.

How to hear the “thing beneath the thing” and reflect it back without surrendering your stance.

A simple structure for saying the hard part—strong and kind—without dumping emotion.

What to do when you’re flooded: the pause tools that prevent blowups and shutdowns.

Boundary language that’s clear, brief, and actually enforceable.

Smart strategies for speaking up at work—pushing back on culture or authority without career suicide.

How to handle polarizing topics (politics, values, identity) without fact wars or friendship fallout.

A short, repeatable debrief that turns every conversation into momentum for the next one.
And so much more!

If you’re conflict-averse, a recovering people-pleaser, or simply tired of talks that go nowhere, this book meets you where you are. It avoids canned scripts and academic jargon in favor of practical lines, tiny experiments, and real stories you can see yourself in. Even if the other person is defensive, even if you’ve tried and it “didn’t work,” and even if you get anxious the moment voices rise—you’ll find tools to stay calm, be clear, and move things forward. Busy? Each chapter includes short, do-today steps that fit real schedules.

If you want to protect dignity, speak clearly, and turn conflict into connection, grab this book now and take your next rep.

A Curran Christmas

About A Curran Christmas

Since his passing in 2016, Doug has been missed and fondly remembered every day. However, during the Christmas season, his absence is most obvious, and most tenderly felt by his loved ones.

Doug loved Christmas more than most, and celebrated it well past the time when others gave up their New Year’s resolutions. As Doug matured in life, he began to resemble Santa himself. Looking at the cover of this book, painted by a family friend, you may ask if this is a depiction of Doug or Santa. The answer is yes, of course.

Doug celebrated Christmas in every way he could, as the Season inspired him to write songs, poems, and short stories alike. His collected Christmas works, preserved within, reflect his joyous love for the season, and it’s our hope that you will feel the same joy and love as you read. Merry Christmas!
