Anything But Mine by Brittany Bly
After losing the most important person in her life, Magnolia is unsure about how her life will be. While dealing with her grief, the only sure thing in her life is leaving for college in the fall. With promises made, she keeps working without a pause just waiting on the time to come so she can leave her small town for good. With the clock ticking, she spends as much time as she can with her best friend Beau and trying to escape the dysfunction that is her family.
A chance meeting with a stranger threatens to derail her plans. There were no thoughts of romance, especially in a town she doesn’t plan to stay in, but the mysterious Rhett isn’t letting her get away that easily.
Though the last thing on Magnolia’s mind is anything to hinder her moving, there is no denying the chemistry between them. No matter how much she wants too.
Maybe a summer romance wouldn’t be so bad… right?

PinterestAbout the author:
Hi! I'm Brittany and I'm a new writer… I enjoy writing fantasy and romance. I love reading a wide range of books anything from contemporary romance to paranormal.
What inspired you to write your book?
I wrote this book as a way to deal with the loss of my grandmother. I had recently begun writing before she became sick and I found comfort in the words I wrote.
Here is a short sample from the book:
I’m antsy. I need to do something to keep my thoughts from consuming me. I decide to sort through the food trying to put away what needs to be placed in the fridge to have some sort of order. It’s like a puzzle attempting to fit all of them on the shelves. After multiple combinations, I finally get the door to shut. Looking around I begin to feel the weight of everything pushing down on my chest. I have to get out of this house. I push the screen door open letting it slam behind me as I walk out onto the porch. I’m unsure of what to do with myself but as a child sitting on this porch swing was one of my favorite places to be. Sitting here now I can feel my grandma beside me looking out over the field that surrounds the house. A tear escapes sliding down my cheek, falling from my jaw it absorbs into the skirt of my black dress. The dress she had helped me pick out… strange I know, but she was trying to make the transition as easy as she could for us.
Even at the end, she thought of everyone else. She hadn’t been afraid of dying. She believed she was going to a better place, to be with all her loved ones that had left this earth before her. She made it clear during her last few days how important faith is, telling me she wanted to see me again. I chuckled telling her to send me a sign, so I knew it was all true… I’m waiting for that.

Thrones of Desire: Erotic Tales of Swords, Mist and Fire by Mitzi Szereto
Thrones of Desire is a place where lust and legend abound, and adventure, passion and danger entwine. Think mystical lands and creatures, kings and queens, knights and renegades, heroes and villains, warlords, maidens and princesses. Think battles and danger, honor and dishonor, good and evil. Most of all, think hearts filled with passion and secret desire. This is a place where romantic chivalry is alive and well, but so too is romantic wickedness. This is a place where the good do not always win, and the bad are often more captivating and desirable than their altruistic counterparts. In these lush and timeless landscapes, the battle for flesh can be as important as the battle for power. Intrigue, sorcery, revenge, lawlessness, dark secrets and mysterious elixirs; entanglements with supernatural beings — everything is possible in these magical mythical landscapes. Inspired by Game of Thrones these imaginative steamy tales transport the reader to fantastical realms. Featuring a special foreword from legendary fantasy author Piers Anthony.

Adultery by Maurilia Meehan
Ailsa took a deep breath. “Now, I didn’t come here to make a scene. I’m a practical woman. I trained as a zoologist. I understand men’s urges.”
And she does. Pragmatic and world-weary, Ailsa Trewen has confronted several mistresses over the course of her marriage to the philandering Sid. But her plans for an animal sanctuary and a quiet future take an unexpected turn when Sid’s death in the arms of his latest lover leaves her a wealthy widow and she invests in a thriving hotel.
Not just any hotel, but Hotel d’Amour, a luxurious retreat for the businessman and the ‘other woman’. If a quirk of fate can make Ailsa head such an establishment, she might as well put her position to good use. Over gourmet dinners at her ‘mistresses only’ nights, her clients shed their inhibitions and share their experiences, telling tales of lust, envy and revenge as they explore the agonies, ecstasies (and ironies) of adultery. And with shared experience comes some peace, and the promise of another kind of sanctuary for Ailsa… wickedly amusing entertainment.

Invasion of Privacy and Other Short Stories by Jim Liston
Invasion of Privacy
If you’re the person who murdered my wife and think you’ve gotten away with it, think again. I’m looking for you, and I’ll eventually find you.
Is it wrong for me to try and find the person who ruined my life, even at the expense of stealing a few moments of someone’s privacy? If I invade a person’s privacy without them knowing it, what’s the harm? I guess it all comes down to the question of whether I’m willing to risk the consequence of going to jail if I’m caught. I am. What do I have to lose?
The other stories included are:
The Tourist Attraction
I’m sick of it. Every day there’s a group of them tourists, standing by my fence watching us, pointing and whispering. I don’t know what started it, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna put up with it much longer.
A Novel Murder
“I’m going to kill her today,” he said, “I’ve had her tied up in the basement for three days; it’s time to end it.”

A fly only lives for about a month. It seems like a waste of time to train a fly and then have it die after only a month. Maybe he’s found a way to keep them alive longer. He is a doctor, after all.

When Justin first saw Lucille, it was love at first sight. He knew that she was perfect for him. All of his friends and co-workers were envious; she was beautiful.
Ronnie and the Smoke Bomb.
I didn’t tell Ronnie the police had found him sitting on the curb near the car, crying. They said he was sitting there mumbling, “It’s only a smoke bomb.”
