Scarlet Ribbons by Judith E. French

Who Is This Handsome Scoundrel?

The American Patriots realize Sarah Turner needs watching. Since her husband's disappearance she has been running King's Landing Inn, a known meeting place for Tory plotting. Forest Irons, a magnetically handsome undercover agent, is sent to spy on the courageous young woman—and his mere presence at the inn is like igniting a powder keg of danger, distrust...and wild desire.

As war sweeps through the colonies and passions flare, Sarah and Forest's desperate need for each other overpowers all else, driving them into the heat of battle, and engulfing them in the flames of a love that knows no bounds.

Reviews: 

"Very strong characters, hunky guy with or without his eye-patch, incredibly brave woman with a sense of humor, terrific writing... this is a real treat. I never tire of reading about our nation's struggles for liberty."

"...a multi-layered story that is deftly and seamlessly woven together. I felt as if I could see, hear, and feel the colonization of America. I highly recommend this book."

Hot Property by Susanne O'Leary

An Irish Romantic Comedy

When Megan O'Farrell inherits her uncle's house in a remote part of the windswept Atlantic coast of Ireland, she imagines it will be a romantic hideaway where she can recover from her recent divorce. But the house is a wreck that requires a fortune to restore, and she decides to sell it. An easy choice, were it not for the discovery of an old family scandal and a budding love affair with both the beautiful landscape and a handsome Kerryman. Catapulted into country life and faced with the less romantic side of farming, she also has to deal with a conspiracy to make her leave.

What readers are saying:

"I loved the twists and turns in this storyline. …I do urge you to read it, this is an author who you shouldn't miss out on."

"[This book] had everything I like, Ireland, the dream house, the style, very realistic characters, good plot!"

A Winning Streak by Tea Cooper

Love in the Time of Ancient Greece

Abandoned at birth, Atalantê, protégé of the Goddess Artemis, is forced into an untenable position by her estranged father, the King of Arcadia—renege on her vow of virginity or condemn her suitors to a sacrificial death. The aristocratic courtier, Melanion, cannot believe anyone would be foolish enough to put their life on the line for the dirty little predator whose reputation for speed and cruelty is legendary. That is until he falls under the spell of her lapis lazuli eyes. Consumed by desire and jealousy, he is determined to win Atalantê’s hand or die trying. He calls upon Aphrodite to assist him, little realizing that her noisome brat, Eros, has the pair of them in his sights and is determined to inject a little spice into their lives. Spice that will devastate the path of true love and incur the wrath of the virgin Goddess.

The Naughty Never Die by Laurie Kellogg

A Daphne du Maurier finalist

If the good die young, then New Jersey's virtuous First Lady should be a cinch to kill. Unless....deep down she's really quite naughty.

The Beauty--a chronic people pleaser who's had enough of her goody-two-shoes life

Since her mother's untimely death, crusader Josephine Callahan has served as New Jersey's First Lady. Acting as her father's official hostess in the governor's mansion is tantamount to living in a fishbowl, which makes S-E-X extremely difficult. On the brink of a nervous breakdown, frustrated Josie loses her usual good sense along with her cool and lets her assemblyman boyfriend sweet-talk her into an impromptu romantic getaway--something she would never consider if she had a clue someone is trying to kill her.

The Beast--an incurable bad boy who refuses to admit beneath his scars lurks a hero.

A deliberately twisted message, via the governor's spiteful assistant, misleads ex Special Forces officer, DJ Ryder, as to the true objective of his freelance assignment. He's told to, not only track down the governor's classy daughter and hold her in protective custody, but to also teach her a lesson by letting her believe she's been kidnapped.

When Josie discovers the scarred, but still sexy, badass has played her for a fool, she retaliates by feigning a raging case of Stockholm syndrome, teasing the brute until all he can think of is the 'hold her' part of his orders. How can Ryder concentrate on keeping Josie safe when he's busy avoiding the danger she poses to his heart?

What readers are saying:

"…infused with a healthy dose of thrills. I recommend this for readers who like romance with a bit of an edge."

"Although the romance half of the story is very funny, the book also includes an edgy thriller plot that will keep romantic suspense readers turning the pages. I highly recommend."

Fallen For You by Carlie Sexton

The Killer Next Door, Part 1

If you believe your life is the sum total of your choices, what do you do when things just don’t add up? You are about to find out. It won’t be pretty. It won’t be dull. And surely, it won’t be safe. In fact, making just one wrong choice could put evil at your bedside, watching you sleep.

After unimaginable heartbreak stops her world on a dime, Kate falls into a blackness of self blame that takes her to the edge of life itself. As time finally brings light back through tiny cracks of renewed desire, Kate moves out of the prison she's made for herself in her mother’s home to find a new reality, rooming with her best girlfriend, Charlie.

Yet, to be free is to be vulnerable, and Kate’s choices teeter on the line between being happy and being dead.

Care to choose? Here’s your menu: A strangely alluring building manager so possessed with wanting you for his own, he’ll bury more than the fact he has a girlfriend; a buff college student for whom you are clearly hot, as are all the other girls on campus; a pushy lawyer who is as handsome as he is intoxicated with conquest, who doesn’t take no for an answer, who gets what he wants — always.

Sometimes, it’s whom you choose. Sometimes, it’s who chooses you. If you’re Kate, it’s both, and it puts you on a perilous road where good looks and humor are the thin masks of jealous delusion and utter violence.

You’re in trouble when the sum total of your choices is written in blood red.

What readers are saying:

"The author was able to grab me within the first two chapters and held my attention throughout this thrilling book. The chemistry was great, the characters fascinating , the romance was terrific, the suspense was horrifying yet not in anyway gruesome and the story telling was superb."  ~liezelsbookblog.net

"Fallen for You was an intense read, for more than one reason! The steamy scenes coupled with the fear of a creepy stalker left my heart pounding, page after page!" ~A Book A Day

A Hero Lies Within by Patrice Wilton

Buy a Book - Help a Charity

Author Patrice Wilton has promised to write a $1,000 check to The Stand Down House if we can propel her book into the Kindle Top 1000. Come on, people! We can do it!

~~~

A returning war hero and the woman who once loved him are brought together again – but will they be able to heal the wounds of their past?

Kari Winslow is a Palm Beach news reporter, fighting not only to keep her job, but take over the nightly anchor spot. Her boss has axed her special runaway series, and wants “feel good stories” instead. She has only two weeks to come up with something big, or the special series will be taken over by the new anchorman who seems determined to ruin her career.

Jake Harrington has returned from two tours in Iraq, and this wounded warrior is searching for peace – and a family friend who’s gone missing. He turns to his former love Kari for help. Though Jake hurt Kari badly once before, she agrees to help him under one condition: he must provide her with “feel good stories” about the everyday heroes he served with. But his memory is sketchy at best, and the only stories he remembers are the ones she doesn’t want to hear.

Fate, it seems, has brought them back together – but can Kari ever forget Jakes’ bitter betrayal, and will he forgive hers when to save her career she must betray his trust?

At The Cafe by Misha Crews

Seven Tales of Love and Mystery

A soda spilled, a notebook drenched, a job ruined: so why was this the best day of Amanda's life? A water bed, an alarm clock, and two red nipple light bulbs: had Gary really figured out a way to kill his wife and not get caught? An impatient man and a woman who's never on time: would the cafe where they met be the place where they said goodbye forever? These and other questions will be answered in this collection of short stories. Sometimes romantic, occasionally spooky, always fun!

What one reader had to say:

"All the stories were very interesting and enjoyable. Since her first novel, Homesong, I have been reading everything Ms. Crews writes. She is a very talented writer. I can't wait for her next novel."

About this author: Raised in a family of book lovers, Misha's mother first encouraged her to read by offering to pay her two cents per page of 'Hop on Pop,' by Dr. Seuss. At first Misha was happy just to be raking in the cash, but before long she traded the pennies for the riches of the written word, and since that time she's seldom been seen without a book in her hand, in front of her nose, or at the very least in her purse!

Misha is married and is currently living and working in Northern Virginia. She welcomes messages about writing, reading, workshops, ice cream, antique typewriters, stuff that make you laugh, etc., and can be contacted via her website: http://www.MishaCrews.com
