Faodail: Lucky Find in the North of Scotland by Inga Batur
Sophie Moore has her eyes set on a promotion at a bank in London City and not on Aiden, an up and coming hot chef. Then she learns her one night stand with Aiden resulted in an unplanned pregnancy.
Her life is turned upside down, when she decides to keep the baby, quit her job at the bank and follow the reluctant Father-to-be to his hometown on a remote island in Scotland.
The stay on the island is only temporary, Aiden promises, while Sophie vows to keep him at a distance. But once on the island, in a whitewashed cottage by the Ocean, things don’t go as planned.

TwitterAbout the author:
Inga lives in the city with her husband, who makes sure she looks great on all the photos and two kids. She dreams of moving into a cottage in the most remote corner of Scotland, where she can write steamy contemporary romances, stare at the Ocean and eat scones. Her daughters aren't impressed.
She loves to write as much as she loves to travel. She combines the two in her novel and on her award-winning family travel blog Coolkidzcooltrips. You can also find her sitting at the computer before dawn and on the playground every afternoon chasing her girls and thinking of the next plot twist.
What inspired you to write your book?
I actually got the idea for the book, when we were in the North of Scotland on holiday, staying in the small whitewashed cottage overlooking the cliffs and the sea. Not wanting to leave, I figured if I write about it, I can keep returning there in mind over and over again.
Here is a short sample from the book:
As I absentmindedly pick up the sandwich and take a bite, just to keep myself occupied, I try to convince myself I am just late. Another part of my life that is lagging behind. No big deal. The bites are like bricks beneath my teeth. I can’t swallow, my mind isn’t convinced. Instead, there’s this tiny voice – one I absolutely hate whispering what I don’t want to hear.
‘Helena, something came up. I’ll have the draft done by Friday.’
Screw it. Suddenly, I have a new priority. Shut the voice inside me down with hard evidence. I won’t be able to do any work, anyway. Though I feel brave in theory, in practice my fingers shake as they hover over the send button. Then I close my eyes and click.
I am late I text Chris.
U always are. I’ll wait.
A second message. Thanks for coming x, he adds.
He doesn’t get it. I dial his number and notice my hand is shaking as I bring the phone closer to my ear.
‘It’s not that time of the month, Chris.’ I mutter, because suddenly it’s important nobody hears me.
He chuckles. ‘Fine, I am sorry, okay. Now I’ll head to the bar and save you a seat.’
‘I am late. As in L.A.T.E.’
‘What are we talking, an hour or more, Soph?’
I take a deep breath, because he’s still not getting it. ‘Weeks, Chris.’
He pauses and I know he is slowly registering what he heard. He mumbles something I can’t hear.
‘Maybe I am not,’ I say. ‘I don’t know. You know I don’t keep track of these things. It’s not like I am dating. I go with the flow, literary.’
Oh, shut up, Sophie, is all I am thinking while I am blabbering.
‘Please, I don’t think I can do it. Can you buy me a test or something? Maybe two?’ Are these things so difficult to figure out? I am having trouble breathing as the situation becomes more real. ‘Meet me at my place? Fuck, Chris. This is not happening.’ I plead because I just can’t do it on my own.

DESIRE & PREJUDICE by Jean-Louis McMillan
Desire & Prejudice promotion: $0.99 (instead of $ 2.99) From Fri. 03/28/14 to Fri. 04/11/14
Desire and Prejudice is about the healing power of true lovemaking and the damning power of ethnic bias.
When Jasmine and Adam first meet, they are both totally caught by surprise; their inner feelings are the magnetic force that draws them to each other. Their burning desires toward one another are unstoppable, but they are condemned by their separate lives – he is a French official and she is a Muslim.
They find ways to be with each other when they couldn't.
The poetic letter takes the reader into the minds of two lovers desperately wanting one another, but each holding back because of their cultural backgrounds and the fear of getting caught in their dangerous game.
The erotic descriptions are vivid enough, but scarcely the right quantity of description to know precisely what is going on.
Desire and Prejudice is much more than “boy meets girl, they fall in love”; it tells a realistic, believable story that readers haven't heard before.
These characters, nor the twisted end of the story, are definitely not the stereotypical a reader can predict.
“Desire & Prejudice” climbed to #1 on free Erotica category and #11 on free Fiction, during the last KDP Free Days Promotion.

Family Of Strangers by Barbara Willis
What would you do if someone you loved disappeared? What would you do if you were told they’d never existed? This most awful of nightmares comes true for Eva when her closest friend, Annie, vanishes. Even Annie’s parents deny her existence.
The uncertainty of the early months of 1939 has been eclipsed. Eva’s comfortable, normal small town life becomes despairing and desperate, until a friendly hand reaches out to her. The elderly and eccentric Lola shows no surprise at Eva’s tale. Neither does Gabe; young, handsome and distant. They have answers that lead to more questions, and information that leads to confusion. The pair guide Eva through a new and frightening world towards her beloved Annie. Eva is sure that her search has absorbed every part of her, until she realises how close she’s becoming to the mysterious but tender Gabe.

Eva, now attached to Lola and deeply tied to Gabe, struggles to believe that nothing can be done to help them.

Can Eva piece it all together to see the picture or has she missed something? Does Eva find Annie? Will Gabe reveal his story and are his and Lola’s other lost friends a help or a hindrance?
And is there something crucially important that not one of them is telling Eva?
