Taylor Holden, a successful businessman, takes a sudden special interest in her and offers her a job she cannot refuse.

No Redemption
Alexis Winter
$0.99

“It’s not the big bad wolf you need to be afraid of kitten; it’s the devil in disguise that you sleep next to.”

She thinks she’s found the perfect husband—the one in a million who isn’t like the rest…my best friend Dane Ashford.
He would never betray her.
He would never lie or cheat on her.
He loves her.

It would hurt to hear the truth, to know it's all a lie, but then she could move on and so could I.
Maybe then she would understand why I was miserable around her all these years.

I’ve even convinced myself a time or two that she deserves to know the truth—but this isn’t my story and that’s not how it’s going to play out.

This isn’t some redemption plan where my hands will now be washed clean.
I’m just as culpable in this story, in fact, I’m worse.
I’m the man who led her right into the lion’s den.

I played along for years.
I allowed her to fall in love with him when I knew it wasn’t real.
Instead, I took the coward’s way out, staying involved in her life just enough to satisfy my f–ed up need for her.
But it wasn’t enough, it will never be enough.

There’s only one way this story ends…her husband has to die and I’m the man that has to do it.

Losing the only woman I’ve ever loved is a small price to pay for her safety, even it means I destroy myself and my family in the process.

There is no redemption arc for men like me.
I’m not the one you run to when you’re scared.
I’m the one you’re running from.

The Doctor Who Stole Christmas
K.C. Crowne
$0.99

A grumpy doctor.
A wicked blizzard.
And only one bed in sight.
What could possibly go wrong?

I never expected to find myself trekking through a blizzard…
All to deliver “vital documents” to the elusive Dr. Grump's remote cabin.

When I finally arrive I find a smoldering man,
Nearly a decade younger – with the petulance of an old grouch!

Now I'm snowed in with the impossibly handsome man child,
In a tiny one-bedroom cottage in the middle of nowhere.

But unlike the below freezing weather, his icy stare starts to melt….
I wonder: Are the rumors about him true or is there more to this mysterious man than meets the eye?

Two Cabins, One Lake
Shaye Marlow
FREE

Helly is a volatile blonde with a passion for fishing, a grudging tolerance for the fishermen she guides, and a part-time job putting her sexual fantasies in writing. She lives a quiet life in the Alaskan bush, alone on her little lake with only a spooky dog and her gun collection for company.

But then Gary, the most obnoxious man Helly’s ever met, roars into her life. The mysterious helicopter pilot moves into the cabin across the lake with a vengeance. And fire. And karaoke. He’s a despicably early riser with a penchant for public indecency, a talent for trespassing… and he’s handsome as the devil, with abs she’d like to lick.

Helly quickly realizes her little lake isn’t big enough for the two of them. After an initial attempt at being reasonable, and responsible, and mature, she gives up—and gives as good as she gets. What follows is a feud of eardrum-battering intensity; a no-holds-barred water fight to the tune of a screaming chainsaw, with her panties caught in the crossfire.

Just when Helly thinks things couldn’t possibly get any worse, her crazy brothers crash the party. In an unforgiving land where even the wildlife is out for blood, can the pair survive long enough for Gary to capture Helly’s heart, along with her wrists? Or will Gary’s past be the final blow, after Helly loses her boat, her dignity, and what’s left of her ammo?

For lovers of steamy romantic comedy books, Two Cabins, One Lake is a sexy contemporary romance novel with action & adventure and a splash of mystery & suspense. Take a vacation to Alaska, where everything's bigger & wilder, and you'll laugh out loud!
