ThisisSoHappening_Cover.jpg

Book two in the So Far, So Good series

A torturously tempting love story.

Jessica “Jessie” Allen is sugary sweet and perpetually perky. Running on an endless supply of enthusiasm, she’s in constant motion. The people pleaser is running herself ragged to make other people happy, anything to avoid having to figure out what would make her happy.

Devin Bennett is her complete opposite, the immovable object to Jessie’s unstoppable force. Jessie is drawn to him like a valley girl to an outlet mall, but Devin dodges her advances better than a UFC fighter. The tall, dark, tattooed and brooding mechanic hates change and the perky blond co-ed shoving it down his throat. The longer she’s around, the harder it is to keep his hands off her perfect body and his lips away from her sassy mouth.

For the first time in her life Jessie knows what she wants. Devin Bennet. And she’s not above torturing him with temptation to make it happen.

About the Author

Amelia-Logo-600x600.png

Amelia Kingston is many things, the most interesting of which are: California girl, writer, traveler, and dog mom. She survives on chocolate, coffee, wine, and sarcasm. Not necessarily in that order. 

She’s been blessed with a patient husband who’s embraced her nomad ways and traveled with her to over 30 countries across 5 continents (I’m coming for you next, Antarctica!). She’s also been cursed with an impatient (although admittedly adorable) terrier who pouts when her dinner is 5 minutes late. 

She writes about strong, stubborn, flawed women and the men who can't help but love them. Her irreverent books aim to be silly and fun with the occasional storm cloud to remind us to appreciate the sunny days. As a hopeless romantic, her favorite stories are the ones that remind us all that while love is rarely perfect, it’s always worth chasing.

Goodreads / Amazon

EXCERPT:

As predicted, when they pulled up to the movie theater, some girls were walking by the car as Liam got out.

“Nice car, handsome,” one of them said, smiling brazenly at him.

“Thank you,” was all he said with a faint smile.

Sophie was standing behind him and didn’t see his face. All she heard was his answer and when he turned around, she could barely contain her anger.

“What?” He asked confused.

“Do you not see me standing here, Liam?”

“Of course I do, baby. What are you talking about?”

“You were flirting while I was standing right here.”

“No, I was not,” he insisted, raising his voice. “All I gave her was a fake-ass smile and thanked her. I was not flirting with her.”

“I know what I saw, Liam.”

“Then you need to get your damn eyes checked because I was not flirting, Soph.” She turned to get back to the car, but he stopped her, grabbing her from behind and placing his head on her shoulder. “I’m sorry for raising my voice at you. I shouldn’t have done that. I don’t want to fight with you, okay? Let’s just go and watch the movie and spend some time together just the two of us. Can we do that, please?”


Author Bio:

Like Bruce Wayne and Batman, I have two identities.

By day: I am a wife and mother of three. I am also a full-time teacher trying to save the world one student at a time.

By night: I am author K P Knights trying to make the world a better place one book at a time.

In my spare time, I love to read, travel and defy the laws of gravity.

Restoring Our Chance
Alexa Michaels
Publication date: May 29th 2020
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

What if your next patient is an old love, who you haven’t heard from in ten years?

Any other woman would have turned and run the other way the moment they saw Logan Peterson—after what he did, he would deserve it.

And they say love is supposed to be easy, right?

Restoring Our Chance is a second-chance romance featuring a gentlemanly alpha male and a bold, fiery heroine. It is currently a standalone in a soon to be larger series. No cheating. No cliffhangers. But will there be a happily ever after? Well, read it today to see if love can be restored!

***Author’s note: this book is intended for a mature audience in terms of content, language, and passionate happily ever afters!

Goodreads / Amazon

EXCERPT:

Her black pencil skirt hugged her curvy hips and I could tell her ass was just as plump and delicious as it had always been. Although her blouse was loose, I knew those perky breasts were in there somewhere. I wanted to go searching through the snowy white material until I freed them from the gauzy fabric. Samantha’s body was perfect, and I wasn’t the only one who thought so. I could see my case manager ogling her behind as she walked away from him. Although he was a big guy, I was bigger and undoubtedly meaner. I shot him a look, unleashing a fierce scowl at the bastard. And he shrugged, as if to explain that what he was doing was the normal guy thing to do. It might be normal to appreciate a fine woman, but this was no ordinary woman. This was my Sammy. Or at least, she had been.

I looked back to her face, panic bubbling in my chest at the thought: She’s here, but is she mine?

“Good to see you again,” she said, sticking her hand out as if she expected me to shake it.

I crossed my arms and glared down at her. She was a tall woman, and those exquisite heels—which she had tripped over when entering the room—made her even taller, but I could still look down my nose at her. “Is that how you greet an old friend?”

“We were never friends. You were my older brother’s friend, and because of that, I am not sure I am the right doctor for this case. There is a conflict of interest seeing as we have a history—”

“I think our history is exactly why it needs to be you,” I cut in.

I raised an eyebrow in challenge. If the court-appointed babysitter was not present, I might have kissed her then. The plan had been to take it slow and assess the situation, but now that I was back in her presence, all I could think about was picking right back up where we had left off. My dick loved that idea. Clearly my body would get the better of me if I was not careful. The moment she had tripped through that door—always one to make an entrance—the damn piece of wood had become rock hard and was threatening to break the seam of my pants. I was hoping she hadn’t noticed.

“You need a neutral party to do this properly. I am afraid I can’t be neutral.”

“Look, Sammy-Girl—”

She cut me off, suddenly in a well contained rage. There was a flash behind her eyes; those long fingers flew into the air to wave about. I saw that she was about to unleash a volley of emotions on me, but at the last second, she swallowed hard and her splayed fingers found her hips. With that professional demeanor back, the only tell she exhibited was her slightly raised voice and her sharp tone. Her words were laced with venom, something she probably didn’t display with most of her clients. “This is a professional mental health facility in a state of the art hospital, Mr. Peterson. You will address me as Dr. Bowers.”

“Okay, Dr. Sammy.” I chuckled to myself as her eyes grew wide and her nostrils flared.

Holly St. Ives is in a rut. Once a celebrated artist making waves in New York City, she finds herself uninspired and unmotivated. Her recent break-up is the last push she needs to spend Christmas alone in the small mountain cabin her father left her in his will—a family getaway she hasn’t visited in years.

After a near accident in Silverwood, she meets Nick, whom she learns is responsible for everything in the small town running like clockwork—including the upcoming Christmas festival and the town’s entry in the state-wide tree decorating contest. Holly doesn’t have time for Nick’s beguiling charm or mouth-watering holiday cupcakes, but after meeting his father, she discovers there’s more to the town’s obsession with the contest than meets the eye.

Touched by the prospect that the whole town is willing to pitch in for a good cause, Holly can feel her Christmas spirit making a comeback as Nick—and his team of Alaskan Malamutes—works his way into her heart to show her the meaning of Christmas again.

EXCERPT:

Casie dragged her chair back to the table and sat. Her cell phone rang.

Alex. She read her husband’s name on the screen, then picked up the phone, cooling her brain, inhaling and exhaling twice before answering.

“Where are you?” she asked. She could hear the excitement in her own voice, the eagerness to meet up with him. She was expecting to hear something good in his silvery voice, something to satisfy her ears. But there weren’t her husband’s warm words on the other end. The voice that greeted her was cold and flat.

“Your husband’s dead in your old mansion, outside Villa Village.”

Casie couldn’t believe her ears. “Pardon me. What did you say?”

“Your husband’s dead, at Fuentes Mansion.”

A click sounded as the stranger hung up.

Casie’s mouth remained open as she went blank, not registering the present. The total blankness allowed a memory to rush in. As the flashback played, her eyes widened in clear horror, as if she were witnessing the crime playing live in front of her.

A man and a woman are standing in the center of a room, trapping a girl who keeps begging for her life.

Both the man and woman raise their guns at the girl, threatening her that if she doesn’t sign the paper, she will die.

Stained with blood, the girl signs the paper, and then the woman shoots her in the back.

The girl slightly tilts her head, and the woman smiles at her.

The man walks around to the woman, staring at the girl, and then he shoots her too, in the stomach.

The girl winces, tears running down from her eyes to her neck.

The man and woman’s guns are still fixed on the girl. She looks up at them, her eyes filled with fury.

“Kill me!” she says. “But I promise I’ll return to take revenge for my tribulations.”

Enraged, both of them pull the trigger again. One bullet enters the girl’s breast, the other her stomach.
