I woke up this morning feeling absolutely horrible. It’s self inflicted. Yesterday was one of my oldest friend’s wedding, and I was one of the bridesmaids. I had such a blast getting all dolled up. I had my hair, makeup, and nails done, and wore a beautiful long black dress. I have to admit, I looked good! The wedding was incredible. The whole event was held in a wine cave in Napa, which was a lot of fun. So did I overdo it at the free full bar? Nope. It was the cake. It’s always the cake. I should have stayed at the bar and avoided the delicious chocolate cake. I will never learn. Today is going to be rough.

Using a dead girl’s name and secretly dating a professor are just some of the things Ana Lopez is willing to do to graduate college and build some sort of future for herself. You name it, she’ll do it, if it gets her closer to a better life and helps her escape her violent past.
After crawling out of an abusive relationship, Ana is focused on nothing other than moving out of her brother’s house and into her own future. But Ana doesn’t realise that as she tries to outrun her past, she’s leaving her family behind and her identity behind. Running into Marlon, a friend from high school, was not in Ana’s plans at all. Tall, dark and handsome, he had been her crush in high school, but nothing had ever come of it.

The problem is, she isn’t quite sure how to handle breaking up with an increasingly possessive Daniel, her professor. Little does Ana know that everything she’s worked for the past few years, everything she’s convinced she deserves, is about to come crashing down as the professor’s jealous wife comes back, a family crisis rears up and Ana loses someone she dearly loves.

Under Handicap: Western Novel
by Jackson Gregory
Genre: Westerns | Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
‘Under Handicap’ is a tale of character-building, grit and gumption in the desert of Southwest. Two young men, Tommy Garton and Conniston, struggle to overcome their respective handicaps — the former is disabled while the other lacks tolerance and integrity being the spoilt son of a multi-millionaire father! What is in store for these unusual pair of “friends” in an unforgiving ranch lifestyle? Will they succeed or lose irrevocably?
Excerpt:
“Outside there was shimmering heat and dry, thirsty sand, miles upon miles of it flashing by in a gray, barren blur. A flat, arid, monotonous land, vast, threatening, waterless, treeless. Its immensity awed, its bleakness depressed. Man’s work here seemed but to accentuate the puny insignificance of man. Man had come upon the desert and had gone, leaving only a line of telegraph-poles with their glistening wires, two gleaming parallel rails of burning steel to mark his passing.”
