Spotlight: The Dreams We Share by Belinda Benna

/

Release Date: September 5

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED!

Two dreams. One summer. A life-changing love story.

The world is full of wonders. That's what my father taught me. And that's something Josh has absolutely no clue about.

Granted, he's strong, stronger than I'll ever be. Because he fights for his dream while I've long given up on mine. As a star pianist, he's even nominated for the International Music Award this year. But at the same time, he's so afraid of his five-year-old daughter that he hired me as a nanny.

Josh is peculiar. And honestly, he should mean nothing to me. But when he plays the piano, I still wish he would do it just for me.

This man touches my heart. But I can't allow that.

Because within me lie memories that must never be awakened. And slowly, I realize that he could be the one to do exactly that.

It's impossible not to be moved by this uplifting romance novel about the pursuit of happiness and finding your place in life. Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Paige Toon, and Beth Moran.

Spotlight: Won't Back Down by Harper Jackson

/

Release Date: September 6 

I drowned when I was sixteen.

My brother's best friend brought me back, but nothing was the same. I can't remember what happened. My parents dragged me away from my island home in the name of keeping me safe, and thrust me into hell instead.

I came back to Hatterwick to rebuild my life and--hopefully--my memory.

Now a new inheritance threatens to expose those long buried secrets, and someone will stop at nothing to ensure I never remember what really happened that fateful night.

The only thing standing between me and whoever wants to hurt me is a marriage of protection with the boy who saved me--now a man grown and determined to keep me safe at all costs.

But what began as protection turns into more. Because he's the key to unlocking what hides in the shadows of my mind, which will either save or damn us both.

Genre: Spicy Suspense Thriller 

A little getaway takes a deadly turn for Morgan and Kyle Murphy in this spicy suspense thriller about a marriage filled with passion, secrets, and suspicions.

Morgan Murphy has always longed for a romance for the ages. And she’s found it with husband Kyle Murphy—until their spicy marriage suddenly starts to cool off.

Is Kyle preoccupied and distant because of a problem with his development project? Or is it something worse? Could Kyle Murphy be...cheating? He’s hiding something, that’s for sure. And Morgan’s determined to find out what it is.

With the help of gal pal Carla Flores, Morgan tracks her husband’s movements, and the signs increasingly point to infidelity, the ultimate sin in Morgan’s book. When Kyle increases their life insurance and surprises her with a weekend getaway to get their mojo back, she goes on the offensive and hatches a plan to make him come clean about what’s been going on.

But before she can pull it off, Morgan’s attacked and nearly kidnapped, and Kyle vanishes from the resort without a trace. With no clue as to who took Kyle or why, she’s not sure who is the biggest threat: the shady investor he owes money to, the police, or the guys she hired to teach Kyle a lesson. With the clock ticking, she needs to find out soon.

Before they come for her, too.
