Natalie Moore is a financial analyst for a large investment bank in Dallas. Her husband, Randy, is an independent landscaper and former Game Warden. Taking an impromptu vacation after being implicated in a trading scandal by her colleague and former-flame Til Latham, the Moores travel to Natalie's sleepy East Texas hometown of Abbey Forks. A forgotten hamlet on the edge of an old and imposing forest, it was a mining town and railroad stop that became little more than a truckers' refueling and shower point on the lonely rural highways of the Lone Star State. All the while, they are being stalked from the shadows by Til, who is psychotic with rage for Nat's part in implicating him in the scandal, has followed them to Abbey Forks, fueled on a meth and coke binge in the hopes of exacting his own savage revenge against her.
Though quiet and seemingly safe, the town's borders and outskirts are littered with signs of missing people, and more than a few have been last known to be traveling in the area. The little truckstop town, filled with pensioners and commuting laborers, hides a dark secret and an even darker history. Legends of "beast children" and "husk people" and hulking eyeless horrors pepper the local stories and Indian Reservations myths. It is here in 'the Forks,' that just under the surface, things are slightly askew, and almost always a bit unsettling.
Natalie tries to relax and forget both the stress of the depositions and the tension that has been building in her marriage to Randy. Their tension stems from the hole of non-communication gaping in a life that was once roiled in passion and marital bliss. While settling in for a week at the quaint bed and breakfast that they booked, the Moore's begin to reconnect with each other and Natalie with her roots, rediscovering old friends and old memories, but also raising new things long forgotten and bringing new questions into view: questions in regards to not just her past, but the past of the town, and area itselTodos los derechos reservados

The Edge of Misery: The Mitchel Brothers Series Book Two de BritCYancey

** Picks up where The Edge of Hell (Mitchell Brothers Series Book One) left off** If there's one thing Declan Mitchell learned from watching his mama almost die from the heartbreak of losing his daddy to a war nineteen years ago, it was that a great and powerful love delivered an equally devastating heartbreak and suffering-the kind he had every intention of avoiding like the bubonic plague. And until traveling west to Idaho Territory and coming face to face with the mismatch-eyed, auburn-haired beauty, Wren McCrawdon, he believed he might succeed in carrying out his plans of never marrying. Molded by her traumatic journey west when she was twelve, twenty-four-year-old, accident-prone Wren McCrawdon's life on her family's ranch in Falcon Ridge, Idaho, is full of back-breaking work, beginning as dawn's first rays peek across the mountains and ending long after the sun sets when she can barely drag her weary bones up the stairs to her bedroom. But from the morning Declan Mitchell and his family arrive, her miserable existence becomes more bearable until tragedy strikes when all she sees are the harsh realities of loss and suffering. Concerned for Wren's safety and remembering how bitter the edge of misery was after his daddy died-Declan discovers he's willing to do anything he can to take it away from her... even if it means a marriage of convenience is the only suitable solution. There are only two problems: first, it's already apparent he's following in his mama's footsteps toward eventual heartbreak, and second he somehow has to convince Wren to agree.

True North de BelindaJames-Romance

Home is where the heartache is... For Stormy Daigle, that's the way it's always been, and when she bolted from the Podunk town of Aubry, Maine ten years ago, she vowed to never come back. So when circumstances force her to return, she has only two goals in mind: (1) assist the ailing-yet-cantankerous old buzzard that is her father, and (2) get the hell out of dodge, ASAP! But an unlikely friendship with one man and the possibility of renewed love with another has Stormy seeing things in an entirely different light, and she begins to realize that the biggest problem of all may be her own small-mindedness! But just when she starts to believe in new dreams and second chances, a secret from her past emerges that threatens to destroy everything. Brian Lozier never liked Stormy Daigle and her snooty, better-than-all-of-this attitude, so when it turns out to be her very fine ass that he rescues from a car wreck one summer night, he's less than thrilled with his fate. Still, her father is a friend, and Brian's mother raised him right, so he has no choice but to help her out. Besides, she's easily riled, and it's kind of fun watching her get all worked up and flustered, until she's got him feeling that way... about her! But a promise he made years ago has Brian torn between his heart and his integrity; and interference from Stormy's scheming ex-boyfriend once again pits Brian against his archrival over the affections of a woman. But this time, Brian is determined to come out on top.

Sonia is a strong, attractive Australian 28 year old with a violent and dysfunctional family background. She gets a job, in the UK, with the Ethical Investigation Bureau (EIB); an organisation which monitors companies that supposedly have ethical/ environmental standards and others that might be breaking related legislation. After a period of menial information and sample-gathering Sonia persuades her boss (York) to give her an undercover assignment, which happens to be at SEICA (seeka), a medical research company 4 hours drive from the city where EIB and Sonia are based. A few days later Sonia becomes infected by the Vaederon whilst stealing a sample of it. She drives down to EIB HQ but on the way, at a cafe in the woods, the drug overwhelms her. She comes to, in the forest, the next morning, with no memory but with heightened perceptions. Meanwhile the head of EIB (York) has used knowledge gained from the analysis of the first sample that Sonia stole to blackmail (anonymously) Dr Metcalfe. Sonia finds her way to the city (from whence she came) by requisitioning the car of a man who tries to sexually assault her while she is hitching. With the help of a video artist (Matt), she starts to piece things together from her recent past. This is possible because the Vaederon is making her mind transmit images that are picked up by Matt's equipment. Thus she begins the journey to recover her eggs and wreak revenge on Dr Metcalfe. You can't please all of the people all of the time and a happy ending for York, Brian and Matt-the video artist isn't, necessarily the one that Sonia planned....but at least she ends up alive, content and..... pregnant.

Blood Bourbon de WiskeySins

A down to earth cowboy with a past is thrown into the supernatural world, when he falls for a vampire who has demons of his own. Daryl's a bullfighter on the national circuit, stretching his pay check as far as it will go between himself and his brother's farm back in Texas. He also has the misfortune of being incredibly unlucky in love and stumbles into the wrong bar trying to forget a night he can only half remember. The bartender tells him to not go looking for trouble, but amongst the dark shadows and beautiful faces, it finds him in the form of Ryker. Ryker isn't known for being a nice guy. He's got a line that most people would believe is too malleable, but he is one of the good guys. Always shooting off his mouth at the wrong time or getting himself into fights he should avoid (but can handle) he sees the cowboy and goes in search of a fight. But neither man is prepared for the battle of wills and emotions that ensue from their broken attempts at understanding whatever it is that draws them together time and again. The more Daryl is drawn into Ryker's dark world, the more obvious it is that the Cowboy's half forgotten past may be more related to the shadow games and machinations of the very agency that has been trying to kill Ryker and the rest of the supernatural world for decades now. Mature themes. Violence, Swears. (Based in the universe of @Whiskeyjanedoe 's Breaking series. This is a little more than a love story) cover by @whiskeyjanedoe

Messy Minds: Smoke-Stained Nights de idkmanijuswannaread

I wrote this story from the perspective of Dakota, a version of myself navigating the chaos of my teen years. In future books in the Messy Minds series, the perspective will shift to other characters, so while the world is the same, the experiences are not my own.Dakota is a girl from a small, nameless town, trying to live the best she can while fighting her own mind and addictions. Her story runs through nights of graffiti, skinny-dipping, drinking, bonfires, and hangouts that blur together. At her core, she carries the mindset: "I'm gonna die anyways, might as well die doing things that make me feel alive rather than live feeling dead inside." Beneath those moments is a deeper battle-survival, meaning, and holding on to whatever pieces of herself she can. This book is messy, because my mind was messy when I wrote it. A lot came out while I was stoned, and that shaped not only the words but how they scatter, repeat, and circle back. Conversations repeat because life repeats. Viewer discretion is advised. What's here is depression, addiction, bipolar swings, rage, numbness, and confusion. It's the inside of a brain that didn't feel like it worked right-chaotic, sad, unpredictable, and yet searching for something solid. I say chaos a lot because it's the only word that ever fit. This is not polished. It's the voice of a bipolar, depressed teenager trying to survive, trying to explain feelings that never sat still. It also touches survival in unexpected ways-like teen pregnancy, and the fight of girls carrying an unplanned miracle while battling addiction. Ryker, the ex, is part of this story, but I don't know where he is now. I've changed, and I believe he can too. My family eventually healed. We forgave, grew, and found happiness again. This book shows the dark, but not all is dark. Chaos and mental illness can be spoken, even if not fully understood.

Everyone in Forks expected Bella Swan's arrival to be the big news-no one saw Aria coming. Aria Swan, Bella's younger half-sister, is a whirlwind of emotions, sarcasm, and spontaneous decisions. After being expelled from yet another school, she's sent to Forks to live with Charlie and start over. But Aria doesn't do "quiet," and she certainly doesn't do "normal." Then she meets Dr. Carlisle Cullen-calm, composed, and impossibly kind. He's everything she's not... and everything she can't stop thinking about. For Carlisle, Aria is like a fire he didn't know he'd been cold without-reckless, bright, and achingly human. As Aria stumbles deeper into the secrets of Forks and the supernatural world, her chaotic energy both disrupts and captivates the centuries-old vampire. But falling for her would mean risking everything he's built-including the safety of his family. In a town where danger is always one heartbeat away, can a love between a storm and a statue survive?
