There is always a lot of Press about life in New York City and what it’s like to live and work in the Big Apple. People cannot seem to get enough about the hustle and bustle and the “rat race” that as city-dwellers engulf us almost daily. It is a life that is not always full of glamour and excitement. I believe there is another side that begs to be told. That side is the story that is deeper and more meaningful than the front page tales of glamour and occasional mayhem. It can be the story of a kind next door neighbor, a friend or a co-worker. It can also be the sad tale of someone on a public conveyance who needs help and is always there asking for a hand-out. Someone you always give a helping hand to no matter how many times you vow to ignore. I have lived and worked here for many years and I still enjoy what the city has to offer its residents and its visitors. I believe that the true attraction of this city is not so much its streets, its avenues or its monuments but the stories of its people. Maurice P. Fortune

Have you ever felt a call from somewhere deep within telling you there must be more to life? For Meredith Rom, this call came at age twenty-two while she was lying in savasana on the floor of a packed New York City yoga studio. It came on the heels of an unpleasant breakup and an unforeseen turn in the economic market―so, with no job offers in sight, she chose to listen. Rom followed her intuition across the country to San Francisco, and soon after, halfway around the world to India. This coming-of-age memoir takes you inside the ashrams of gurus and sages of the far East, where one woman learns to heal her heart, believe in the magical happenstance of the universe, and find an unshakable love and trust within herself.

Nathan Coleman bolted because he couldn’t handle Lily’s inner demon, but blond, buff, blue-eyed Marten is a delicious distraction, and he’s one of her own kind. Only Lily’s not sure she can trust him–especially when her best friend’s demon boyfriend is kidnapped, the ranks of the Hierarchy of Hell are gunning for her downfall, and Lily’s dashing P.I. beau is back on the scene, rekindling flames. Two men, too much temptation, and assassins closing in–if Lily survives, who claims her heart? “Sleek, sexy and fun.” –Susan Sizemore, author of Primal Desires

Thinly Veiled is equally sexy and smart. It’s about making your own happiness in a world eager to find fault with you, and embracing family, even when they piss you off. Big boobs, tiny waist, wide hips, and long legs. That’s definitely me, Zelda Gordon. I don’t care if the world calls me plus-sized, and I’ve learned to stop caring if my sister calls me flawed. Because I’m about to call those sexy, loving fellas, Drew and Aithan, my husbands. When I look in the mirror, I finally see the beautiful woman my men love. We’ve survived a hellish year, and we're on track for happiness. Until greed slithers from the dark corners of Drew's past, and pride tries to drive a wedge between Aithan and me. That monster, Spite, brought along its wicked cousins, Avarice and Scorn. They're crafting thinly veiled threats, but our unconventional family is ready to tear them apart. Because nothing will stand in our way. Nothing will ruin our happiness. Nothing. NOTE: If you find cussing offensive, if you skip past the sex scenes, or if the idea of multiple love interests makes you clutch your pearls (not in a good way), The Fatkini Chronicles ain’t the books for you. But, if you love curvy girl, chronic illness romance with a why choose relationship and two cinnamon roll heroes who are all about her happiness, then this series is calling your name.

Margot Moss, a gregarious and witty woman, lives her life with abandon. She knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to pounce after it with full-throttle ferocity. Although, she can’t quite seem to get it right. When a coveted promotion falls through, Margot finds herself struggling to actualize her dreams and is forced to reconsider her so-called fabulous future. However, when one catwalk ends, another begins. A job in New York City comes knocking and Margot doesn’t hesitate to seize the opportunity, setting out on a wild adventure towards love, success, and self-discovery. Unfortunately, nothing is how she imagined it—not the company, the city, or the people. Awaiting Margot is a drama-addicted boss who may or may not be out to get her, and a whirlwind of wealthy men, scams, and scandals. Caught in a cotton candy cloud of sparkling rosé, Margot determinedly navigates her (many) dilemmas with the help of her saucy friends and a healthy dose of buzz-worthy gossip. Yet, as if that weren’t enough, Margot’s life is made even more complicated when a steamy new beau enters the picture—and even he isn’t what he seems. Overflowing with fashion and champagne bubbles, The Manhattan Mishap is a hilarious, stylish, and heartfelt novel that oozes confidence and reminds us that leopards never truly change their spots.
