Nicole
At one time, I had everything I wanted in life.
But I lived in black and white.
Then, he exploded into my world—Dragon.
He’s hot-blooded, cocky, stubborn as hell, and he drives me crazy.
Suddenly I have everything to lose.
Now, I’m terrified I’m not strong enough to hold on to it all.
Because, I’m learning with life, there are no hearts and flowers.
Sometimes, there is just darkness.
Dragon
Thrown away with the garbage on the day I was born,
I do what I have to do—just to survive.
That’s who I am. I’m the filth your mother warned you about.
The Savage MC is all I have. Until she walks into my life.
Nicole.
She’s sassy, smart and sexy as hell—everything I could want and more.
Our worlds don’t mix. I’m only going to drag her down.
She should have never let me touch her…
Life can tear you into shreds, make you bend until you break.
Sometimes, you have to face death, so you can live.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney for two decades. He is respected. Admired in the courtroom. Happy at home with the loves of his life, his wife, Laurie, and teenage son, Jacob.
Then Andy’s quiet suburb is stunned by a shocking crime: a young boy stabbed to death in a leafy park. And an even greater shock: The accused is Andy’s own son—shy, awkward, mysterious Jacob.
Andy believes in Jacob’s innocence. Any parent would. But the pressure mounts. Damning evidence. Doubt. A faltering marriage. The neighbors’ contempt. A murder trial that threatens to obliterate Andy’s family.
It is the ultimate test for any parent: How far would you go to protect your child? It is a test of devotion. A test of how well a parent can know a child. For Andy Barber, a man with an iron will and a dark secret, it is a test of guilt and innocence in the deepest sense.
How far would you go?
Troublemaker by Leah Remini $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An eye-opening, no-holds-barred memoir about life in the Church of Scientology, now with a new afterword by the author—the outspoken actress and star of the A&E docuseries Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath
Leah Remini has never been the type to hold her tongue. That willingness to speak her mind, stand her ground, and rattle the occasional cage has enabled this tough-talking girl from Brooklyn to forge an enduring and successful career in Hollywood. But being a troublemaker has come at a cost.
That was never more evident than in 2013, when Remini loudly and publicly broke with the Church of Scientology. Now, in this frank, funny, poignant memoir, the former King of Queens star opens up about that experience for the first time, revealing the in-depth details of her painful split with the church and its controversial practices.
Indoctrinated into the church as a child while living with her mother and sister in New York, Remini eventually moved to Los Angeles, where her dreams of becoming an actress and advancing Scientology’s causes grew increasingly intertwined. As an adult, she found the success she’d worked so hard for, and with it a prominent place in the hierarchy of celebrity Scientologists alongside people such as Tom Cruise, Scientology’s most high-profile adherent. Remini spent time directly with Cruise and was included among the guests at his 2006 wedding to Katie Holmes.
But when she began to raise questions about some of the church’s actions, she found herself a target. In the end, she was declared by the church to be a threat to their organization and therefore a “Suppressive Person,” and as a result, all of her fellow parishioners—including members of her own family—were told to disconnect from her. Forever.
Bold, brash, and bravely confessional, Troublemaker chronicles Leah Remini’s remarkable journey toward emotional and spiritual freedom, both for herself and for her family. This is a memoir designed to reveal the hard-won truths of a life lived honestly—from an author unafraid of the consequences.

Seduce Me by Christmas by Alexandra Ivy $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Dear Reader,
Long before I started writing paranormal romance, I wrote historical romance novels as Deborah Raleigh. Now I’m thrilled to share my favorites with a whole new readership. Prepare to be seduced by Raoul Charlebois, one of the heroes in my trilogy about three mysterious men for whom illegitimacy poses no obstacle. . .
Raoul Charlebois abandoned his wild life to search out answers to his dark past–yet his reputation as a rake persists. Now it has followed him to a gamekeeper’s cottage, where beautiful, innocent Sarah Jefferson resides. In all his exploits, Raoul has never met such a woman. But Sarah will have no part in whatever the wickedly handsome visitor wants–until she realizes what he wants is her. And amid the seductive scent of evergreen and falling snow, she is persuaded that maybe there is some goodness to be found in Raoul. After all, Christmas has a way of bringing lost souls together. . .
I hope you enjoy reading these sensual, romantic tales as much as I enjoyed writing them!
With love,
Alexandra Ivy
