Murphy's Wrath (Murphy's Law Book 2)


Michelle St. James - 2019
     Once upon a time Ronan lived by simple rules: take care of his family, take care of his dog, take care of his business - and never, ever let it get personal. But that was before he fell head over heels in love with Julia Berenger. When an ill-fated trip to Dubai forced Ronan to choose between finding Julia’s sister, Elise, and saving Julia’s life, he didn’t even think twice. Julia knows Elise is alive. It doesn’t matter that Elise was taken by a group of powerful men hidden behind the secret society called Manifest: this time Julia won’t let anything get in the way of saving her sister. Not even Ronan. But when a new lead turns up in Florence, Ronan and Julia begin a whirlwind quest for answers that brings them face to face with one of the most powerful men behind Manifest. The discovery leads them to a yacht off the coast of Greece and a high-stakes rescue operation with Ronan’s brothers that may force Julia to go it alone. Ronan has already broken one of his cardinal rules by falling in love with Julia — now the only question is whether he can let her go.

The Summer Tour


Mandy Melanson - 2020
    It’s impossible to tell one face from the next when I’m up there. The mixture of fog, lights, flashing lasers, my astigmatism, and whatever else they put into the air to keep the crowd happy… It’s all just a mix for a big bunch of blurry fuzzy whatnots. She was not a whatnot. She stood out in her ripped black jeans and that adorable neon yellow thing holding her hair up out of her face. I don’t even know what it’s called, but it was perfect. She was perfect. The bright pink tank top that hugged her in all the right places. Those bright yellow heels that made her back curve in just the right way. Those were definitely factors that caught my eye, but it's not why I can't get her out of my head. Her dark brown eyes and that smile—her smile. That’s it. That smile had me hooked from the second I ran on stage. I even stopped short of my mark and totally threw off the spotlight tracker. Why?Because I was too busy watching her and how she just fell into the rhythm of the music. It’s a good thing Chuck didn’t plan any pyro for tonight, or I might have been screwed.I’m not even entirely sure I sang the right lyrics to the first couple of songs. It was more a series of barely audible grunts, caveman style. Nash probably turned his mic up to help with the background vocals. They’ve all gotten really good at covering my ass over the years. I’m grateful the crowd didn’t seem to notice. All I could think about was trying to figure out a way to find out who she is. I still have nothing. So I’m sitting here like a lost, lonely little puppy just hoping to catch another glimpse. What if she leaves and doesn’t come through the line? I can see both Exit doors from here. I’m watching those two doors like a pitbull watches the gate at a junkyard. Maybe I am a lost, lonely little puppy. No.I am a pitbull puppy. And just like that pitbull, I will jump this table and bulldoze whoever gets in the way if I have to.

The Broken Mirror Collection


Danielle Stewart - 2021

The only silver lining is the attractive bodyguard who looks equally disappointed with the establishment.
