Here is a short sample from the book:
I had no clue where Nick was going to take me, and it was a really long drive. As I stepped down, I saw it was a huge meadow of sorts. I would have bet all my money that there was no such place in the whole of New York City, but there I stood, right in front of a meadow, and it looked all kinds of beautiful.
We moved inside the park, and I followed him. He had a smile on his lips, and when he stopped, I saw the most breathtaking scenery all around me. There were endless flowers, and Nick kissed me fervently on my lips. I knew this was one man who was romantic as hell.
“Where are we, Nick? I have never been to this place before,” was all I could say as I found myself standing in the middle of the meadow. There was an infinite trail of lush green grass around me and I could hear the stream of water running somewhere nearby that made for a perfect symphony in the background.
“You don’t need to know that. Just close your eyes and imagine that you are somewhere away from the bustling crowd and traffic of the New York City. We have traveled in time, and you are not yourself anymore. Let your spirit be wild and do whatever you want to do, Lacie. It is just this moment, nothing else exists anymore.”
He was right. That place didn’t feel like New York City at all. It felt like we had traveled back in time, where no one except the two of us existed.
Nick took a blanket and placed it carefully on the ground. He also had a picnic basket, which looked both adorable and charming.
“What do you have here? I thought we already had brunch,” I said while I sat with him on the blanket. I opened the picnic basket and found a few munchies inside.
“This is nothing, just some snacks and muffins for us to eat,” he added.
He filled a wine glass with some exotic red wine he pulled from the basket. As I drank, it felt like I tasted a part of heaven in my mouth. I looked at the sky, and the stars shined brightly with their entire luster.
Nick looked at me, and his breathing was heavy. I knew what he was about to do at the next moment. I felt as if time stood still when he kept looking at me with his big green eyes. I saw my reflection in his eyes, and there was nothing else that I wanted to look at.
No rules of time or space existed between us anymore. As Nick’s lips touched mine, it felt like all my stress and disbelief vanished. There was absolutely nothing existing in the universe that could worry me. I felt his warm lips inside me and as his tongue touched mine, I closed my eyes. There was a thick cloud of darkness in front of me, but I could still see the whole wide world.
I felt Nick’s tongue pressing into my lips and inspecting my mouth. Our tongues made a perfect symphony, and it felt like we were creating art. We danced on the tongue of salvation and became immortals at that moment.
I was wearing my red strapless dress that had a zip closure at the back. I felt Nick’s warm hands unlocking the closure and letting me shine in my true colors. Before I could realize fully what was happening, he had undressed me and set my clothes aside. I unbuttoned his shirt and opened my eyes to see the marvelous beauty of the rugged man that was standing in front of me. Each and every muscle, every cut in his body was nothing but flawless. He looked like a Greek god who was ready to take me to Atlantis.
Nick knew what was coming, and he was all prepared for it. He kissed my lips and slowly pressed my neck. He massaged my back and placed his hands on my shoulders. Slowly he pressed with his warm hands, massaging my neck to make me feel relaxed. I could feel my senses getting calmer as he licked my neck and slowly reached my bosom. He pressed my breasts a little, as gently as he could, and gave a kiss on my left side, which made me shiver with passion.
I could sense an undying shiver of affection that crossed my spine and entered each and every cell of my being. It was as if Nick had already become a part of me. He let go of everything else that I was wearing, and I echoed him. There was not even a single ounce of cover on us. We both were there, entwined in each other, completely naked, without any trace of shame or remorse. We were unafraid to show our true colors to each other.
“You look so gorgeous, Lacie. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen,” he whispered in my ear as I felt his fingers near the gap between my legs.
Our bodies twisted and turned, and it felt like we were dancing to a beautiful song that was being played somewhere in the background. We were covered with the blanket, and I could feel how warm his body was. He kissed my neck and across my breast. As he bit them gently, I moaned in pleasure. He sucked them gently, then again a little harder the next moment. I felt as if I would melt in his mouth as it felt so warm and real. I was going into a state of utmost pleasure and had no regrets.
I surrendered myself to Nick and let him do his magic. He was the master of it all, and as his white, muscular body held me tightly, I felt more precious than ever. He kept showing his love for me, for a few more minutes by bestowing kisses on every inch of my body. From my forehead to my breasts and from my navel to my wrists, he was present in each and every part of me–both inside and around me. Before I could take it all in, he became an integral part of my being.
I never thought that I could reach the pinnacle of my pleasure with such ecstasy, but it was then that he placed his tongue near my most sensitive part and licked the gap between my legs. I moaned out loud for the entire world to hear. My hands were engraved on his shoulders, and he soon placed them on the ground to let him do his magic without any distraction. He kept pressing his tongue inside me, making me ask for more. I wanted more than his tongue to be inside of me. He looked at me with his magical green eyes and knew what I was asking for.
After massaging and passionately treating my sensitive areas, I could feel him pressing himself inside of me. As he touched my sensitive spot, I swear, I entered into an entirely different world. It was an unknown territory, and I was eternally lost in it. My fingers crossed his as his fingers flawlessly filled the gaps between mine. He locked my mouth with his, and his masculinity entered inside me, making me feel more beautiful than ever. It felt surreal and there was a sweet pain that I could feel, but I didn’t want the pain to stop at all. Gradually, the pain was gone and all that was left was a beautiful feeling.

Orange Juice in Bishop’s Garden by Otessa Ghadar
You know that summer, right… the summer where EVERYTHING changed? Orange Juice in Bishop’s Garden (OJBG) is that summer. And Bishop’s Garden is the place where it all happens. It’s the summer of ’94 and naive and rebellious teens are engaging in all kinds of underage tomfoolery. Think grunge, Doc Martens, raves, the invincibility of youth, and epic first loves.
This book details the lives of a group of teenagers navigating high school and growing up in DC during the 1990’s. It’s all about teen magic– creating new and marvelous mischief with best friends, listening to mix-tapes and reading Sassy magazines, missing the last Metro, and getting stuck miles from payphones. Accompany the young heroine, Sarah, as she gets herself into idle summer misbehaving, love triangle betrayals, and friendship fallouts. This is a story about what her life is like before school’s truly over and she knows it’s all going to change for good. It’s about the friends she’ll never forget, those first mistakes, and her childish dreams not yet polluted by reality. She and her friends will engage in typical teen idolatry of hot musicians and renegades. They’ll set each other up and tear each other down. They’ll crash house parties and realize that sometimes in life, there are no ‘do-overs.’ They’ll steal cars, candies, and hearts. They’ll make you wish you were a teen again.
This book contains the full collection of scripts from season one of the oldest and longest running teen web series, “Orange Juice in Bishop’s Garden.” And it’s the prequel to the epic romance between two teen girls that has become known as “The Sarah & Gwen Experience.” The love story develops in season 2 and spans to season 6. It’s part recollection, part urban legend, and part pure fiction, and completely inspired by the author’s memories of growing up in DC and the enchantment of her youth. The author, Otessa Ghadar, captures teen life as it is lived–dramatic, filled with self-discovery, and the pain of growing up. Together, as a whole, the stories and the characters ring true. Read the book and you’ll realize you’ve either been– or known– one of these characters before.
Venture into Bishop’s Garden and remember what it feels like to have your whole life ahead of you! Best part is, when you’re done reading, you can meet the characters by watching the webseries adaptation online (www.ojinbg.com).
Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design Book 2) by Miranda P. Charles @MirandaPCharles
Jessa Allen knew she was plain and average.

He valued his freedom, first and foremost and his expanding business was the only thing he was committed to. But he was intent on satisfying his intense desire for Jessa.
They both didn’t want to fight their physical attraction for each other. But Jessa found herself falling for the man who could not promise her tomorrow. And Rob was set on only having a short fling with Jessa especially when they lived in different states – he in Melbourne and she in Sydney.

Sunspots by Karen S. Bell @KarenSueBell
Sunspots follows the healing journey of a young woman thrown into the horror of losing a spouse. It is a story of loss and redemption and the ghosts that haunt our lives and our houses. A love story, a romance, and a mystery of sorts, Sunspots, is above all an exploration into the psyche and emotional arc of the MC and it follows no formula.
Snapshot:
“One can never be, and should never be, smug about life,” says Aurora Goldberg. An aspiring New York actress who has never realized her dreams, Aurora keeps herself afloat by doing odd temp jobs where her rich fantasy life helps her get through the day. Aurora sees the world through the lens of characters in literature and film and these fictionalizations are woven into her interpretation of reality. On one of her temp assignments she meets Jake Stein, a man who could “charm the skin off a snake” and she decides to follow her destiny as his wife in Austin, Texas. But Jake’s sudden death after two short years disintegrates her world and Aurora must reevaluate her life and let go of a love that has become an obsession.
Sunspots takes the reader on a journey of high emotion as Aurora uncovers Jake’s secret life and her own internal conflicts as she matures to self-awareness. Narrated by Aurora, the novel’s tone vacillates from irreverent humor to solemnity as she relates her previous life with Jake and her present challenges. The title refers to the solar maximum which became the backdrop for Aurora’s conception when her hippy parents went to Canada to observe the Aurora Borealis. In name and in spirit, Aurora is connected to the observable and unobservable energy around us.
With the help of friends, family, and the ghost of Viola Parker (her home’s original owner), Aurora accepts her fate and the secrets revealed about Jake’s true character. She realizes that in this life she will finally break the cycle of pain caused by her love for this man, Jake Stein, through the centuries.
Embedded in the novel is the question of the afterlife and paranormal events abound. The incidents are left vague enough so the reader is not certain if they are external events witnessed by Aurora or exist only in her own mind. My approach to the extraordinary has always been with keen interest and skepticism. Just as we cannot see unaided that at the quantum level solid objects consist of vast spaces and swirling particles, so too, we define our human existence with only our limited five senses, three dimensional orientation, and our perceived space/time continuum. So then, what can one say with any certainty is reality?
