Now she has to meet her date with mud drying on her heels, dog hair covering her dress, and the smell of a barn perfuming her hair. When she arrives, however, Abigail learns her handsome blind date is none other than the cop who pulled her over.
Abigail has no intention of staying until she learns Cooper Hill is heading a committee for the city that will award a six-figure donation to a charity of their choice. So, what’s a girl to do? Abigail decides a second date is the perfect way to convince Cooper to vote for the dog rescue. Soon, however, Abigail is less interested in Cooper’s vote than she is in his deep voice, kind heart, and tender touch.
Will this follow-the-rules cop and this follows-her-heart animal lover learn that despite poor first impressions, second chances can lead to love?

When she accidentally rear-ends handsome Trevor Brooks on her way to a charity auction to buy back her beloved grandmother’s long lost bracelet, she figures this unconventional meeting could at least turn into a hot date.

Flustered from the car accident and being rejected by gorgeous Trevor, Mary Ann mistakenly bids on the wrong auction item and loses out on reclaiming her grandmother’s bracelet. Instead, she wins four dates on a reality TV show with none other than stuffy Trevor Brooks. Now she’s broke and the only way to get the money to buy back her special family heirloom is to win the grand prize money from the televised couples competition by convincing the audience that she and Trevor are in love.
While dating Trevor on the show, Mary Ann discovers the reliable analyst is fun and kind-hearted. In fact, the more she finds out about him the more she starts to fall for him. Could giving Trevor a second chance mean winning not just the TV show and her grandmother’s bracelet but the love that Mary Ann has always dreamed of?

Unknown to them, Millicent has plans for Ben, and the nanny is in her way.

Fusion by Bill Parker
I am not crazy. Elm Cove really did exist. I know it did. I remember it. I went there when I was just a young boy. It existed in this time stream. I’m sure of it… I am Dr. Mike Phillips, Ph.D. I am not some crazy conspiracy theorist. I am as sane and rational a person as you are. Twenty years ago, when I was just a young boy, I was caught up in an alien insurrection happening right here on Earth, but I was the only person that saw anything, and I was just a young boy at the time. They shot Kasia’s mother and took little Kasia away.
No one believed me. I was just a kid, they said. It was all just a bad dream they told me, but it wasn’t. Even so, my life went on, but I was never the same. Memories of that night faded, but something about me had changed forever. From that day on, I was like a stranger in a strange land. I was no longer like everyone else, and it was as if everyone around me knew that but me.
It took twenty years for my life to fall apart and come to this. All of my success was empty. It took the same twenty years for my Kasia to reach across the vastness of space and time to find me. She was the one who brought me back to Elm Cove. She was the one who helped me find the memories of what had happened. She and Lilly brought me back into that interplanetary alien intrigue. It was not like a suspension of disbelief, but as if reality had been restored to me. This intrigue has taken me in like a lost child, and I have become an integral part of it… so now I find my life in peril.
Agents of the Kiiahni High Command could close in on me at any time. In order to save Kasia’s mother, I must succeed where physicists a million years more advanced than humans have failed. I have to see what they did not. My only advantage is that I think like a human, not a kiiahn. At least I hope so. But then it got even worse; then I found out that the future of all life on Earth was at risk.
As unbelievable as this sounds, the very same intelligent species that lit the flame of mankind over two-hundred thousand years ago was about to end us as an experiment gone wrong. Humans were far too competitive and aggressive. They say that the truth will set you free, but does it really?
I am not crazy. Elm Cove really did exist. I cannot save you. Only you can save you, but to do that you must get the book to see all of the symbols. The Wedding Charm by Susan Hatler

When Sarah and Ben arrive in Atlanta, instead of finding the wedding charm there’s a letter from the bride’s grandmother directing the bride and groom to complete a series of tasks in order to prove their commitment to each other. With the wedding only two days away, Sarah and Ben must join forces by pretending to be the bride and groom in order to earn the wedding charm. Should be a cinch.
