More about I Am Justice

Picture
Picture
"Fast-paced and edgy, high-octane and sexy, I Am Justice is a must-read!"—JULIE ANN WALKER, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Black Knights Inc. series

This bad-ass band of sisters plays for keeps.

She's ready to start a war
Justice Parish takes down bad guys. Rescued from the streets by the world renowned Parish family, she joined their covert sisterhood of vigilante assassins. Her next target: a sex-trafficking ring in the war-torn Middle East. She just needs to get close enough to take them down…

He just wants peace
Sandesh Ross left Special Forces to found a humanitarian group to aid war-torn countries. But saving the world isn't cheap. Enter Parish Industries and limitless funding, with one catch—their hot, prickly ‘PR specialist', Justice Parish.

Their chemistry is instant and off-the-charts. But when Justice is injured and her cover blown, Sandesh has to figure out if he can reconcile their missions. With danger dogging their every move, their white-hot passion can change the world—if it doesn't destroy them first.

The Fallen Architect by Charles Belfoure Receives a Starred Review from Publishers Weekly

10/30/2018

 
We are happy to share that The Fallen Architect by Charles Belfoure has received a starred review from Publishers Weekly! 
Picture

Read the full review online here.

More about The Fallen Architect

From the New York Times bestseller of The Paris Architect

Someone has to take the blame.

When the Britannia Theatre’s balcony collapses, killing over a dozen people, the fingers point at the architect. He should have known better, should have made it safer, should have done something. 

Douglas Layton knows the flaw wasn’t in his design, but he can’t fight a guilty verdict. When he is finally released from prison, he has nothing: no job, no family, nowhere to go. He needs to assume a new identity and rebuild his life. 

But he soon finds himself digging up the past in a way he never anticipated. If the collapse was not an accident ... who caused it? And why? And what if they find out who he used to be?

About the author

As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti is a December Indie Next Pick for YA Crossover Titles

10/23/2018

 
Picture
We are happy to share that As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti is a December Indie Next Pick for YA Crossover titles, Now in Paperback!

Indie Next lists are drawn from bookseller-recommended favorite handsells, and recognize books that are making an impact within the bookselling community and with readers.

Read below for more about As You Wish and the author. 


About As You Wish​

Picture
​If you could make one wish that was guaranteed to come true—what would you wish for? 

Rules for Wishing:
1. Never let an outsider find out about wishing. (Zip your lips and throw away the key.)
2. Wishes that would impact the world are off limits (i.e. no bringing back the dinosaurs).
3. Do no harm. (Murder = no bueno.)
4. No time travel. (What's done is done, pal.)
5. No bringing back the dead. (Come on. You've seen what happens in THE WALKING DEAD.)
6. NEVER BREAK THE RULES. (Seriously. We mean it. See Rule #7.)
7. There are always consequences. 
​
Madison is a small town in the Mojave desert on the road between nothing and nowhere. It's an unremarkable speck on the map, which is perfect for protecting the town's secret. Because in Madison, everyone can make one wish on their eighteenth birthday-and that wish always comes true.

Most of Eldon's classmates have had their wishes picked out for months, even years. Not Eldon. He's seen how wishing has hurt the people around him. His parents' marriage is strained, his sister is a virtual ghost in their house, his ex-girlfriend is dating his ex-friend...where does he even begin?

One thing is for sure: Eldon has only twenty-six days to figure it out―and the rest of his life to live with the consequences.

About the Author

Picture
Chelsea Sedoti fell in love with writing at a young age after discovering that making up stories was more fun than doing her schoolwork. (Her teachers didn’t always appreciate this.) She now focuses that passion by writing about flawed teenagers who are also afraid of growing up, like in her novels, The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett and As You Wish. She lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she avoids casinos but loves roaming the Mojave Desert. Visit her at chelseasedoti.com and on Twitter @ChelseaSedoti.

“I’m sorry,” he said, slowly untying the ribbon that held his mask in place. “It’s just—I didn’t want you to think of me any differently.” 

Somehow I kept my mouth from falling open. I knew his face, but my mind couldn’t accept that he was the person looking down at me. 

“My real name is Alec.”


Felicity has her entire future planned. Ever since her older sister ran away, she’s had the full weight of her mother’s expectations on her shoulders. So she works hard to get straight As and save for college. 

Except sometimes the best things in life are unplanned—like when Felicity meets a handsome, masked stranger while she is volunteering at a charity masquerade ball. She never thought he’d flirt with her. And she certainly never thought he’d turn out to be a member of the world-famous Heartbreakers band, Alec. 

Then Felicity uncovers a shocking family secret. Suddenly, she, Alec, and her two best friends are off on a road trip to find Felicity’s missing sister. And she’s about to discover that unexpected turns have a peculiar way of landing her right where she needs to be…

The One You Fight For:

"Richly layered and full of emotion… Unforgettable."--KRISTEN CALLIHAN, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author for The Ones Who Got Away

How hard would you fight for the one you love?

Taryn Landry was there that awful night fourteen years ago when Long Acre changed from the name of a town to the title of a national tragedy. Everyone knows she lost her younger sister. No one knows it was her fault. Since then, psychology professor Taryn has dedicated her life’s work to preventing something like that from ever happening again. Falling in love was never part of the plan…
 
Shaw Miller has spent more than a decade dealing with the fallout of his brother’s horrific actions. After losing everything—his chance at Olympic gold, his family, almost his sanity—he’s changed his name, his look, and he’s finally starting a new life. As long as he keeps a low profile and his identity secret, everything will be okay, right? 
 
When the world and everyone you know defines you by one catastrophic tragedy…
How do you find your happy ending?
​

About Roni

Picture
Roni wrote her first romance novel at age fifteen when she discovered writing about boys was way easier than actually talking to them. Since then, her flirting skills haven’t improved, but she likes to think her storytelling ability has. She holds a master’s degree in social work and spent years as a mental health counselor, but now she writes full time from her cozy office in Dallas, Texas where she puts her characters on the therapy couch instead. She is a two-time RITA Award winner and a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.
