She takes her aunt and uncle up on their offer to come and live on their failing cattle ranch in the Montana Mountains. Lenora hopes to grieve and start over but has no plans to fall in love again.

Books capture your imagination and take you to new worlds. But some stories can change your life by giving you a glimpse inside a world you've only seen from the outside. They can teach you about love and resiliency. They can show you ways to grow and fly! Step Toward You is one of those books which keeps you wishing for the happily ever after. The characters are likable and engaging. They could be your friend or family member. They make you believe in forever and forgiveness. Liz Ashlee's story grips you from the beginning and pulls you along. But don't take our word for it... You can get your own copy today!  Step One: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable. There are twelve steps in Alcoholics Anonymous and Silas Manning knows all of them by heart. He's been living them since a drunk driving accident resulted in the destruction of three lives. When he meets Rooney Oliver, he quickly realizes you can be addicted to things other than alcohol—you can be addicted to people, too. Rooney's mother is dying and Rooney feels like she's dying with her. It’s not until Silas comes into their lives that any of them start feeling hope—but Silas isn’t ready to let go of the past or open himself up to a future. Sometimes the only person who you want to lose is yourself. Excerpt “It’s just a bad day.” Her shoulders begin to tremble and she brings a hand up to cover her mouth as a sob fights its way up. “A really bad day.” “Hey,” I say, swallowing down all the raw emotions building up in my throat. If there’s anyone who can give her a shoulder to cry on, it’s me. The stoic statue. But she’s even managing to bring my emotions out. “Come here.” I press my hand against the back of her head and guide her to my chest. She comes without hesitation and even in a moment like this, it makes me feel good. Too damn good, which is enough of a reminder as to why I’m not meant for her. I shouldn’t enjoy getting to hold her in a circumstance like this. I take a step around her and close the door. “What are you doing?” she asks, pulling back. “You’ll see.” I lightly push her head back. I leave one hand braced there, my thumb rubbing small circles, while my other arm wraps around her waist. I pull her even closer. “Now scream.” As I speak, my lips brush against her ear in a soft, barely there kiss. If I wasn’t holding her, I wouldn’t have noticed her shiver. Wouldn’t have felt her immediately snuggle into my chest. Wouldn’t have heard her soft, little gasp. I shouldn’t want her at a time like this, but I do. Every time I lay my eyes on her, I want her. Not just so I can be inside of her—and fuck do I want that—but so I can have every single last piece of her that makes her, her. Mostly, I want her to want me back, which is worse than any sin I’ve ever committed. Grab Your Own Copy Today!  About the Author:

She's willing to do what it takes to make sure things are fair and right. Even if it means going head to head against the leader of New America. But when it comes to Hawk, does she really know what's she in for? Here's an EXCERPT from MERCURY RISES: I put my hand on the side of his face, and he closed his eyes, resting his tight jaw deeper into my palm. The pain in his expression seemed to drift away. Falling into my hand like rain. My pulse pounded steady in my ears. His lips less than an inch away. I ran my finger over those lips. Soft and full and just a slight bit dry that made me suddenly thirsty. I leaned forward, for the first time unsure of what to do. Kissing other guys had never made me nervous like this before. Kissing other guys had never made me shiver. I brushed my lips against his. Testing. Waiting. Then he kissed me back. Slow. His mouth closing around mine and pulling me in. Dragging out every second. It was the kind of kiss that felt like forever. Every touch, every taste, stretching out and lingering, lazy as if time didn’t exist. His tongue running along my lips. My fingertips brushing against the ends of his hair at the nape of his neck. Every sensation, a swirling heat under my skin, winding me higher and higher. And then I fell. Down, down, down into all those emotions I’d dismissed because in this world there were no happy endings. Futures here were never certain. But right then, with his teeth grazing against my tongue and his hands gripping tight on my hips, everything seemed possible. What a kiss?? Right?? Keep reading for more!!  A girl looking for a way out. Being the daughter of New America’s leader, Mercury Masters has everything a girl could want. A glamorous life full of beautiful people, and the power to have anything she wants, except for one thing—to escape. Because Mercury’s perfect life comes with secrets to keep. Dangerous secrets that if made public would destroy her, her family, and her father’s reign. Then she meets Hawk. A boy looking to be a hero. Hawk, a handsome prep school dropout turned vigilante, has his own family secrets. Deadly secrets that have haunted him since he was fifteen. But instead of fighting the ghosts of his past, Hawk has assembled a group of misfit hackers and thieves to save the future from the corrupt government of New America and the mysterious virus that is killing off its citizens. But trying to do the right thing is tough when the person you really want to save is your enemy’s daughter. A love that could kill them both. Powerful forces keep them apart, but coming together could be the key to saving New America from destruction—even though it may cost both their lives. Excerpt: The Studio A cool draft whispered through the space and Hawk’s bare arms quivered, drawing my attention again. I already knew he was physically strong, but now I could see how fit he really was. My eyes took their time running over each sculpted ridge, from his collarbone to his hips at the edge of his low-slung jeans. Lean, defined muscles started in his broad shoulders and rippled into his chest and arms. He wasn’t bulky, just clean and toned and functional. Almost militant. Absolutely sexy. But a surprising tattoo peeked out from underneath his arm and traced down his ribs. A picture of a robin. It wasn’t fresh, but the color of the bird’s red chest beamed bright enough to say it wasn’t old either. Every shape, every contour of the bird flowed, fluid and beautiful. Every detail perfect. The edges of the feathers looked soft enough to be real. Like one day it might free itself from his flesh and fly away. Without thinking, I ran the tip of my finger along the back of the bird. Hawk twitched as our skin connected, but he didn’t tell me to stop. “Why a bird?” I asked as I traced the wings, his exposed skin pebbling into goose bumps under my touch. “My mom….” He turned his head to face me. The fire in his eyes had burned out. Only ashes left. “She always called me her little bird. That I reminded her of springtime. I got it for her.” “She must be very proud of you.” “She’s dead.” AVAILABLE NOW |

One phone call was all it took to disrupt the happiness Gemma Michaels had come to know. Instead of basking in the glow of her newfound romance with Ben, Gemma is forced to watch as her mother fights to overcome her grief, while struggling to deal with her own. When all hope seems lost, Gemma Michaels will find a way to move past her grief and allow herself to be happy.
In the end, love is all that matters.
EXCERPT:
It was hard to focus on work when all I could think about was Gemma. In fact, it was almost as though she was all I could think about. I tapped my pen against the wooden desk and leaned back in my chair, stealing a quick look at the clock that hung above my office door. Still a few hours to go.
Assuming I could hold out.
The good thing about my job? I was one of the higher-ups, so my schedule was rather flexible in that I could come and go as I pleased. Although I tried not to make a habit of doing so. Contrary to popular belief, I actually enjoyed working. I needed to keep myself busy, to constantly challenge myself, or else I’d go stir crazy. That was probably a good part of the reason why I was such an asshole womanizer before Gemma.
I had been so terrified of settling down, at the thought of committing to a single person, that I’d slept around, making it a point to avoid forming any sort of connection along the way. And then Gemma Michaels changed everything, I thought.
The one girl that had been off limits to me in my mind for so long—the one girl I’d been in love with for years—ended up being the one in the end. The irony of it wasn’t lost on me.
