Love’s Second Chance by R.M. James
Living with guilt is the worst feeling in the world…. Ley Moore (now Jared) and Willie Ramsey were teenage sweethearts, bound to marry and start a new life together; but, they lived in two different states. She in New York and he in New Jersey. They both had to, constantly sneak away to see the other behind their parents back and without permission. Until, Willie stopped coming around leading Ley to believe he did not want her anymore. Left feeling lonely, she let herself be seduced by another young guy, Andrew Jared, becoming pregnant at 17. Being a pregnant teenager was considered taboo back then (well according to her old fashioned parents) and made to marry the father of her unborn child leaving everything behind including her heart. Now at 46, a career woman, wife, and mother of two adult sons, she still carries the guilt of leaving her relationship with Willie open-ended. Living in Georgia, she embarks in a search, to find her childhood love to explain the circumstances that led her to marry another man. Only to find Willie living in another city of New Jersey with a family of his own…22 years later! As they carry on written email communications on a daily basis about their marital problems, they find out they still carried a torch for each another, taking them to an adventure they thought would never happen. But time can only tell if this could be their Love’s Second Chance…

R.M. James is also known as Reina R. Gonzalez, currently working on a Doctor of Business Administration/General Business at Northcentral University. Graduated from the University of Phoenix with a Masters Degree in Health Administration/Education; Armstrong Atlantic State University with a Bachelors Degree in Spanish, and South University with a Certificate in Accounting.
I live in a small rural town in Georgia just five minutes from the border of South Carolina (not South of the Border—that's too far). Born in Manhattan and raised in Queens, New York.
I have a furry companion named Bailey she’s my best friend as well as my therapy cat. I love her to pieces! She knows when I don't feel well and jumps on my lap just to be with me. She’s a diluted tortie-shell with attitude galore!
I have two grown boys with their careers, two grandsons of whom I love to spoil, and a granddaughter who joined our family, I’m super ecstatic!
My career in writing began in 2012 when I stopped working due to some ailments I've been battling, and because I didn't want my college education going to waste, I thought of contemporary and paranormal romance. Honestly, the writing wasn't my first career choice being a medical doctor was (now don't laugh). I wanted to help people.
My favorite hobbies are crocheting, quilting, paint-by-numbers, and drinking lots of strong coffee that’ll put hair on anyone's chest!

My career in writing began in 2012 when I stopped working due to some ailments I've been battling, and because I didn't want my college education going to waste, I thought of contemporary and paranormal romance. Honestly, the writing wasn't my first career choice being a medical doctor was (now don't laugh). I wanted to help people.
Here is a short sample from the book:
At that moment, the thought of my ex-boyfriend, Willie came up. William Ramsey. Now there's a name I haven’t thought of in a while! Why all of a sudden am I thinking of him, as I turn on my car to pull out of the parking lot.
Driving home, I'm thinking of the crazy and explicit things Willie, and I used to do as teenagers. At the time, he was seventeen, I was sixteen. We were together on and off for four years as kids because we had to seek permission to go out.
I used to tell my mom I was going roller skating with my best friend, Liz only to sneak off to Hoboken, New Jersey. The thought of us sneaking around put a smile on my face, and led me to ask, "Oh Willie, where are you now?" I still have so many unanswered questions as to why he kept disappearing so much from me. I had no way to know my life was about to take an interesting turn in the next few days.

Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design Book 2) by Miranda P. Charles @MirandaPCharles
Jessa Allen knew she was plain and average. Yes, she was brainy and successful in her career as a senior writer for the popular Lifestyle by Design magazine, but she wasn’t a raving beauty who easily attracted hunky, gorgeous men like Rob Granger even if her well-meaning friends wanted her to believe she was. So when Rob asked her out, she was shocked. A seriously handsome man who had magnetism she couldn’t seem to escape wanted her. That wasn’t something that happened everyday.
Rob Granger was instantly attracted to Jessa Allen. She wasn’t the usual type he went for but there was something alluring about her that drew him like a moth to a flame. But he was a self-confessed playboy who had absolutely no plans to be tied down by any woman. 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.
Could Jessa trust herself not to fall apart when the time came to let Rob go? And could Rob ever find freedom in what he considered as a prison to be avoided at all cost?
What’s Behind Your Belly Button? A Psychological Perspective of the Intelligence of Human Nature and Gut Instinct by Martha Char Love
“What’s Behind Your Belly Button?” explains what your gut feelings are actually capable of telling you about your inner instinctive needs, how to listen to the voice of your gut, and how to use both of your brains—head and gut—to work together for your optimal health and well-being. Although numerous books and articles have recently talked about the gut instincts as valuable in giving us useful hunches in the decision-making process, “What’s Behind Your Belly Button?” goes much further and explains how gut feelings not only have a psychological intelligence of their own, but are also understandably rational in their functioning and reflect in their own voice how well the two instinctive human needs of acceptance and of control of one’s own responses in our lives are being met.
Since Dr. Michael Gershon, M.D., published in 1999 his revolutionary medical findings that demonstrated that the gut has an intelligence of its own and called it the “Second Brain”, people have been examining their guts with growing interest in trying to understand their gut feelings. “What’s Behind YOur Belly Button?” answers the questions many people have of the second brain and the ENS in a new Gut Psychology, and explore how to use both your head and gut brains to work together for a healthy life. It is written in a narrative style that allows for the reader to understand the experience within themselves of having two brains and it makes thinking of the human being with these two brains become truly understandable for the first time.
While the authors make this material easy to understand, the psychological explanations of gut intelligence and instincts in this book are comprehensive, well-researched, and based upon clinical studies with hundreds people by the two authors. Utilizing the research of Dr. Gershon, the work of Dr. Lise Eliot who charts the development of children from conception through the first five years of life, recent research of their own in the Psychology Department at Sonoma State University, and their vast clinical experience in career counseling and psychometry, the two authors of What’s Behind Your Belly Button have presented an interpretation of recent medical research into a new revolutionary understanding of gut instincts and a more accurate behavioral understanding of the Self and human nature than has previously been available.
This book is recommended for anyone looking for a hopeful view of humankind and a method for getting in touch with gut instincts to reduce stress, cope with fear and anxiety, deal with health issues and make efforts to stay healthy, and to increase optimal problem-solving and life-decision making abilities. It is a book that would be useful for general audience readers as a self-help book, as well as for scholars of psychology, education, neurology, medicine, and business organizational leadership interested in the well-being of healthy decision-making and the human condition. It is also suggested for parents and teachers who would like to increase the intuitive intelligence of both themselves and their children .
