With senior year well underway, Cali's plan to get into Fenton University's elusive Masters of Nursing program is set into motion. The competition is stiff, but she has a sure-fire way to get her where she wants to go. That is, until Cali's success lies in the prized member of the boxing team-Lincoln Pierce. Now tasked with tutoring the brooding fighter to secure a letter of reference from her professor, Cali launches herself at the opportunity. But she soon realises that Lincoln is a hell of a lot more than she bargained for. Lincoln Pierce has no idea what he's doing or where he's going. One thing is for sure-he wants nothing to do with tutoring and even less to do with Cali, especially when her determination soon threatens to expose secrets he's purposefully left in the dark. But with his grades slipping, there's more than just Lincoln's full-ride scholarship on the line. Lincoln must accept Cali's help or lose everything he's fought for. And as it turns out, she may end up getting more than a little extra credit. ______ Book 1 in the Fenton U series Perfect for readers of Elle Kennedy's Off Campus series, and Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. * * * * * Copyright of Luisa Dituri © All rights reserved.

Ivey Pierce is an explorer, and thanks to her career as a wildlife biologist, she does not stay stationary for long. But when her parents die in a terrible accident, and her childhood home is left vacant for two years, she returns to the tattered memories concealed inside the house on Clifton Bay. Everything is the same: the salty scent, lush scenery, and talkative town. Yet, one thing is new-the man across the bay, whose dock faces hers. Each evening, she watches her new neighbor sit with his dog and a cup of coffee, then disappear during the day. He is the only person who does not know her business, and she knows nothing about him. It is not until she gets hurt and discovers he is Weston Turner, the new Nurse Practitioner in their coastal town. Soon enough, they are swept up in one another's current, trying to stay afloat. ************* Short novel [roughly 55-60k words] Copyright of Anna Steffey All rights reserved.
