Cousin Q by Tammy J. Palmer

Cousin Q is an “Off Limits” Novelette. Cassie Anderson has a history of falling for the wrong guys; ex -cons, rebels, and hard drinking cheating types. Her most recent mistake had been her part-time employee as well as her live -in boyfriend, and now that he’s gone, she’s struggling to make rent and manage her antique store alone. When her cousin, a man with a history of depression and suicide attempts, shows up looking for work and a place to lay down his sleeping bag, she offers him a job and her guest room. Q is doing better than ever and the close bond they shared as kids is still strong, but they’re not kids anymore and it’s not innocent. Cassie is determined to change her ways and stop falling for the wrong guys, and that means fighting her attraction to a man who is most definitely off-limits. But is Q really the wrong guy?

About the author:

What inspired you to write your book?

While this story is entirely fictional the idea came from two real life stories told to me by relatives. One involved first cousins who fell in love late in life and chose to be together despite strong objections from family members. The other story involved a man who shot out his own eye in a failed suicide attempt. Cassie and Q’s story has a much happier ending than either of theirs!

Here is a short sample from the book:

I move closer to Q, facing the ocean. “Don’t look now, but Bud is heading this way and I don’t want him to see me.”
Q looks anyway, a quick glance. “Unless you’re waist deep in waves, he’s going to see you.”
“Maybe he won’t recognize me from the back.”
“You’re kidding, right?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Legs. No way will he not recognize your legs.”
I look down at my legs, long, well-shaped, and let’s be honest here, gorgeous, and back up at Q with what I hope is an innocent expression. “Why would he recognize my legs?”
Q lowers his sunglasses from the side covering his eye so he can give me a look. “You know.”
I laugh. “We need a new plan. How about if we just frolic in the waves and I pretend I don’t see him?”
“I don’t frolic.”
“Oh come on, you can frolic just this once, for me.”
Q glances past me, toward them. They must be close now.
“Do they see me, you think?”
“Bud’s looking this way, like maybe he’s thinking of coming over here and talking to you.”
I can’t imagine why he would. We’re not on friendly terms. I don’t want to see him, or Patty.
A wave whooshes around my ankles. “Quick, kiss me.”

    The Advent of Lena, a Tale of Beauty and the Beast by Neil M Campbell

    0 out of 5

    Chloe Lambert is used to men looking at her twice but for all the wrong reasons – they cannot believe how ugly she is. She has no reason to think Park Delafield, of the perfect profile and cheek bones to die for, is any different when he insults her in a pub. But all is not as it seems, turns out he’s looking for salvation and has decided she’s the one. Only trouble is, Chloe’s not so sure.

    When a stranger in a bar loudly comments on her appearance, Chloe Lambert can only assume that the remark which cut her to the bone was for him simply a casual aside. Park Delafield, however, at once struck down for his savagery by a friend of Chloe’s, is visited in his humiliation by the insight that only the love of the woman he has offended can redeem the despicable individual he has become. He sets out to win Chloe but she, bewildered by his attentions and repelled by his egotism, wants no part in his quest. Until his tireless persistence, combined with her own curiosity about his true personality and motives, soften her distrust of his sincerity. Warily she allows him into her life, thus seeding hurricanes of self-discovery, reckless commitment, and searing betrayal through which all involved journey toward disaster . . . or liberation and redemption.

    Redeeming The Amazon by L.V. Lewis

    0 out of 5

    How does a former supermodel deal with body image when she’s lost an essential hallmark of her femininity?

    Most come to The Beaudelaire Hotel a few times a year merely to indulge in sexual fantasy, but the stakes are higher for Karen Freeman and Paul Beaudelaire. Karen is nine years post-op from a double mastectomy, and her vain ex-husband hadn’t agreed with her decision to remove her remaining good breast or to eschew reconstruction. In the end, that decision cost her. She lost her marriage, but she’s certain the move prolonged her life.

    Returning to a normal dating and sex life has been difficult. She hasn’t made love fully unclothed since the demise of her marriage, and her most significant relationship occurred right after her surgery. While recuperating, she had an affair of the heart with a Marine amputee who’d also been her Ph.D. classmate.

    Paul Beaudelaire once had his pick of women in the upper echelons of New Orleans society. He’d been satisfied to continue in that vein, until his career in the Marine Corps was cut short by the loss of his left leg. Paul returned home with the best prosthesis Johns Hopkins could fit him with, but left his heart in Baltimore.

    Can a marine amputee restore a beautiful model whose body has been ravaged by cancer? Will this fantasy weekend at his Uncle Henri’s hotel give him a second chance with his contemporary Amazon, or will her fear of rejection be a barrier to their reconnection?
