Runaway Bride


Cynthia Luhrs - 2019
    In a daze, she left the city behind, only stopping for necessities, until she found herself staring at the ocean, inhaling deep lungfuls of clean salty sea air. The vintage car sputtered and died as she coasted into Magnolia Beach. Alex Parrish had it all. Money, women, model looks, and fast cars. Until the accident. Then his uncle stole his trust fund. Now he's broke, ugly, and ill-tempered, not to mention he doesn’t have a single employable skill. Certain she’s in no danger of falling for another entitled rich guy, Rose takes a position cleaning for the town hermit. She needs time to heal, to figure out what comes next. Alex doesn’t know who he is without his money and his looks, but going by the new housekeeper’s reaction, he’ll never set foot in public again. He’s fired every other housekeeper in three towns so he’s stuck with the beguiling Rose. Sparks fly. As Alex spends more and more time with Rose, he falls head over heels in love for the first time in his miserable life. Too bad she’s made it clear there could never be anything between them other than friendship.

The Earl's Choice


Tania D. Shaw - 2014
    Her older brother is missing in revolution torn France, and her stepfather has agreed her marriage to a notorious rake and gamester of his acquaintance. A plea to her mother has no other effect than to cause that much tried woman a bad case of the vapours. Since Kitty knows from bitter experience that Lady Veris is unlikely to leave her rooms, much less recover before the planned date of the wedding, she decides on drastic measures. With no more than a bandbox and her maid, she runs to her godfather, her last hope in avoiding a future even worse than her present. The Earl of Layne has decided to escape the tedium of the London marriage mart to spend a few weeks at his estate in Cornwall. His aunt has again demanded that he marry, as is his duty, and kindly circled the most eligible ladies named on her shortlist. Considering the amount of time that was spent in compiling this list, not to mention carefully observing the virtues of each candidate, it is likely the earl’s aunt would have suffered an apoplexy if she’d seen it discarded to the fire after no more than a cursory glance, sharply raised eyebrows, and an indistinctly muttered, “Oh really, no, no, no!” So when Kitty’s godfather approaches the earl with a new candidate for his consideration, Layne decides he may as well meet the girl, as surely she can’t be any worse than his aunt’s selected ladies. And there starts an eighteenth century romp of romance and intrigue.

Rise of the New World Order 2: The Awakening


J. Micah'el Thomas Hays - 2015
    If you have not read my first book, “Rise of the New World Order: The Culling of Man”, this second-in-a-series book you are now reading will not make the best sense because it builds on and assumes you know what we went over in my first book. There is terminology and information in the first book that I reference often in this second book. Also, you need to know what my particular positions on various things are so there are no surprises for you here. As you know from my first book, the same occult group of people who have been ruling over humanity for thousands of years continue to do so to this day. The reason they have been able to do this and do it consistently is that their families worship Satan, who is called the ‘god of this world’ in the Bible.It is always those who are closest to Satan that get to rule the world throughout history, just like it is today, and the demonic torch has been passed down the family bloodlines for millennia…all the way back to King Nimrod, who you know from my first book is the ‘Antichrist’ that they will resurrect from the dead via his DNA sample. It is important for the brethren to know everything we can about Satan because he is exactly the puppet master of the 'New World Order'. This is a very deep subject that was put upon me to work through, and we are going to connect the dots of ancient history to formulate a focused image of who and what Satan really is. Information in this book that I'm basing my position about Satan on comes from the Bible, extra-Biblical sources such as the Book of Enoch, and the historical record of the ancient mythologies of empires gone by. I'm going to show you how the Bible confirms the basis of what turned into all those ancient religions, which we call mythologies today. This is probably the most revealing book ever composed about Satan, I have found none like it in existence or I wouldn't have taken the trouble to construct it, just like my first book.The time for a mass-awakening of humanity is short and I need your help! I'm working on the next book of this series right now and hope to have it out within one year. This book will be called “Rise of the New World Order 3: Sentinel of Yahshua”. Please support my efforts by purchasing a copy of my book, and telling others about the existence of my ongoing work here. Thanks for backing me up, friends! God bless all. -Sentinel Jeff Hays
