It is supposed to make you feel better, but the jury is still out on this one. Yesterday I cleared out my closet of everything that either does not fit or I haven’t worn in the last year. I am about 80% done and I filled two extra large trash bags. There were a lot of items I really liked, but I am a little bit fluffier than I was a few years ago, and I really don’t think I will ever get to that size again. I would like to, but it has been ten years, and if I haven’t figured out how to lose the weight in ten years, what makes me think I will in the future? Plus, if I ever did, I would reward myself with new clothes. Right?? So do I feel better now? Meh. Maybe after I donate the clothes and it is out of sight. Right now I just feel bad that there are two huge bags of clothes in the middle of the room that I got too fluffy to fit in. Um.. I was promised happiness, joy, and a burden off my shoulders. HMMPH!

The Devil’s Bargain (Deal with the Devil Book 1)

Genre:

FREE for a limited time

They say the Devil doesn’t bargain. I’m here to tell you that he does — but sometimes the price is still way too high.

Ava
I’m in trouble. Deep, deep trouble.

I never meant for it to happen, but my ex is dead — and I’m the one who pulled the trigger. Whether he deserved it or not… whether anyone will even miss that jerk… it doesn’t matter. Joey is dead, and I have to figure out what to do before I get caught with a corpse on my hand.

Enter Lincoln Crewes.

After the way we ended, I swore I would never turn to him again. But we were kids then, and in the fifteen years since I’ve seen him, he’s gone from a scrappy fighter to one of the most powerful men in Springfield’s seedy underbelly.

If there’s anyone who can help me right now, it’s Link. With his power, his money, and his connections, I could put this all behind me.

And all he wants in exchange is my soul… and my hand.

Link
Ava, Ava, Ava…

She’s the one who got away. The reason I’ve built my entire empire, and the only person I’d burn the whole entire world down for.

I’ve done things I’m not proud of. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and that’s my life story right there. I wanted to show her that I could be the man she wants — the man she deserves — and, by doing so, I became the worst thing for her.

I became the Devil.

So I kept my distance, though I always kept my eye on her. If I can’t have her, I could at least keep her safe, right?

Wrong. She nearly got hurt, and it’s all my fault.

When she comes to me, she has no idea that I’m responsible. I’m not about to tell her, either. This is my second chance. My do-over.

Ava is mine again, and no matter what I have to do to keep her, I will. Even if I have to force her to marry me in exchange for my protection.

But who will protect her from me?

*The Devil’s Bargain is the first book in the Deal with the Devil series, an interconnected collection of standalone dark romances set in the fictional crime hotspot of Springfield, where the gangsters rule, the cops are crooked, and a woman does what she has to to survive…

Genre:

FREE for a limited time

For Simon, the trip was supposed to be a once in a lifetime gift: a journey to the Amazon River Basin, the land that he had dreamed about visiting since he was a child. His enthusiasm for the trip may be tempered by the poor conditions of the boat and their captain leading the tour, but most of the tourists think they can look the other way on it.

Except things go wrong quickly. After a horrific accident, Simon and the other tourists find themselves trapped on a tiny island in the middle of the river. It’s the rainy season, and the river is rising. The island is surrounded by hungry bull sharks that won’t let them swim away. And worst of all, the sharks might not be the only blood-thirsty killers among them.

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime. Instead, they’ll be lucky if they make it out with their lives at all.
