waiting for a sign to confirm that her life is on the right track.
When Evan announces a wedding date without her consent, Journey’s world
suddenly turns upside down. Her baby sister, Tammy, is stripping in

 What Lies Between
Lovers
by Sophia Shaw
Dafina
Sophia Shaw combines steamy writing, three-dimensional characters, and a
riveting plot in this sizzling tale of friends who become casual lovers,
and discover that friendship is worth risking for love.
Executive Monique Evans doesn’t want commitment. She’s had enough of
fake promises to last her a lifetime. What she wants is sizzling sex
with no strings—so when one wild night lands her in the muscular arms of
her friend Tao Samuels, she’s ready to make one very tempting deal…
A former Navy Seal, Tao is too busy succeeding in civilian life to
settle down. And he’s always thought of the level-headed Monique as just
a pal. But since the sudden desire between them is too good to give up,
he’s sure they can keep their relationship strictly physical—so long as
they follow a few rules… But breaking rules is hotter than keeping them.
And now Monique and Tao have to find out what they really want—and if
their perfect friendship is worth risking for love…

Carbon Copy
by Azarel
Life Changing Books
Have you ever craved someone so bad…that you’d be willing to do
anything?
Meet Dominique Lewis, a foul, hard-boiled, go-getter who spends most of
her days yearning to be just like her sister, and plotting on taking
her man. For her, it’s all about money, sex, and power. Although
she possesses the perfect physique and sexy features, her life-long
dream is to become wealthy and a house-hold name. By any means
necessary, she vows to get what she wants.
As Dominique’s mission unfolds, she
manages to get connected to Yuri, a violent replacement for the man she
really sought. After realizing she’s partnered with a beast, her world
turns upside down. And soon, after the tragic murder of her sister, all
hell breaks loose when Dominique’s cover is blown.
Armed with revenge on the brain, and a
status goal in mind, Dominique soon appoints herself as Rapheal’s woman,
the most sought after millionaire in Atlanta. Raphael’s lavish status
in town would put her on a new level, right where she always dreamed…the
only problem …he never said he wanted her.
In an effort to hold on to Rapheal, and
all the elaborate material possessions, Dominique sets out on a deadly
mission to remove anything that stands in her way.
If you believe that you’ve read about many
crazed and demented women like Dominique …guess again. Dominique is off
the hook and Carbon Copy is destined to be a classic.

 The
God's Honest Truth: The Enlightenment
by Tony Macauley
iUniverse
The intent of this informative/entertaining novel answers questions
we've all had in our tireless pursuit of understanding the word of God.
The author uses the honesty of fiction to explain God's complete plan
while teaching the elect to Watch, Stand, and Wait.
What does 'Born Again' really mean?
What is 'the Mark of the Beast' and what does it mean to you?
Are you God's elect, and how to know for sure?
‘Caught up’ the 'Rapture', explained
What is God's complete plan?
Christ's words from the cross explained.
Christ's words, 'remove this cup', explained. Was it a moment of
weakness?
Is God an Alien?
Why did Jesus say ‘Blessed are the Barren’ but ‘Woe to those with
child’?
In the Enlightening, a deeply spiritual novel, titled 'The God’s Honest
Truth', Isaiah Macdonald is much more than a professional ballroom dance
teacher. He is an immortal commissioned by the Lord to search the earth
for the elect, and then carry out the grace of God. Since the
crucifixion of Christ, his duty hasn't changed. His mission is to find
the elect and mark them with the seal of God.
Isaiah exists within a life bursting with secrets. As he holds open the
door to his dance studio for new students, they receive much more than a
waltz or salsa lesson once they step inside. He’s been selected to
locate and mark the chosen ones with the seal of God before the enemy
finds them. Once they are sealed, student after student undergoes a
spiritual transformation, and God’s plan is slowly unveiled just as the
disciples first explained it during biblical times. Through
conversations with students and other ballroom teachers, Isaiah shares
valuable biblical truths.
