Book Description:
TANGLED
WEBS by Imogene Nix
In the course of a single day Gia
Montgomery loses her job and discovers that her boyfriend—now ex-boyfriend—is a
two-timing sleaze. After downing a bottle of wine, she catches sight of Cedun
in her backyard. He’s the Ba’Tua heir who has been living on Earth for several
years. Gia struggles to ignore the strong attraction between them, because
she’s sure he’s seeing someone else. Someone very close to her, in fact.
When the situation with her ex
turns nasty, Cedun finally has a chance to set things straight between himself
and Gia, but nothing is as simple as it seems. Cedun must protect Gia and sort
out an impossible love-life tangle before it’s too late.

THE
SPACESHIP CAPTAIN’S Wife by Ashlynn Monroe
Some treasures are the hardest to
see.
On a dying planet, treasure waits
for an honorable man to claim it. Captain Ric Julius believes the cargo of gems
is what he’s come for, but there is one jewel he never expected. Her name is
Kateri, and she changes everything.
Saving the woman’s life, and
making a fortune in the process, requires only one thing of Ric—his freedom. In
order to obtain the gems he has to agree to take Kateri to safety…and to make
her his wife. Every man has a price, but is Ric willing to pay in full on a
debt he owes to a dead man on a decomposing world?

HIS
HUMAN by Jaye Shields
Can a human clone trained to kill
also learn to love?
Elara Roberts is the captain of a
space shuttle sent to retrieve a group of cloned soldiers from the planet US-2.
As soon as she lands, the shuttle is overtaken and all of her men killed.
Svarog aka Rogue, is the leader
of a rebel group of clones who desire freedom. He’s been trained his entire
life for one thing—to kill. But when he lays eyes on Elara, the only woman he’s
ever seen, his first instinct is to love. Taking her for himself, his new
mission becomes exploring the body of the creature, and punishing any other
clone male who dares come close.
Elara witnessed how easily Rogue
killed her men and fears she is next. But instead, the beast seems curious and
more lustful than anything else. Her best survival strategy is to play along.
But when she gets a chance to escape she realizes she may not be ready to leave
Rogue behind.

GRAVITATION
by Beth D. Carter
Can Bree and Niah’s love overcome
their species being at war with one another?
Bree has spent her whole life
hiding from the aliens who destroyed what was once Earth. When she stumbles
across a wounded alien, common sense tells her to kill him before he can kill
her, but her compassionate side refuses to obey. Instead, she helps him.
The two forge a temporary truce
when they’re forced to band together for protection. But as the days slip by,
the alien Niah won’t leave her, and as friendship gives way to something more,
she can’t help but wonder when, or if, them being on opposite sides will break
the fragile bonds of love forming between them.

About
the Authors
IMOGENE
NIX
Imogene is a mother of two,
compulsive reader, and bookstore owner. She lives in regional Queensland,
Australia with her husband, two daughters, dog, cats, guinea pigs, and chooks.
She has a particular fondness for vampires, star ship captains, and things that
go bump in the night (especially vampire types).
Imogene has tried many varied
roles in her working life including kindergarten assistant, teacher, principal,
and kindergarten and child care director, but rates owning a bookstore and
writing her own novels as the absolute highlight.
In her mother and wife alter ego,
she has traveled widely and lived in some very unique places including Far
Western Queensland, Cape York, and even Tasmania. She loves to travel and rates
China and Hong Kong among her favorite destinations.
ASHLYNN
MONROE
Ashlynn Monroe is a busy working
mom. She loves her kids and family. Her greatest joy is creating stories to
entertain others, and she hopes they bring a little more romance into the
world. She’s been writing since her teens, for her own enjoyment, but decided
in her thirties to share her imagination with readers. Ashlynn enjoys biking,
camping, reading, video games, and filling her home and life with love. If
she’s not working or chasing her children, you can find her daydreaming up her
next tale of romance.
JAYE
SHIELDS
Jaye Shields is a flight
attendant by day and romance author by night. Her addictions include reading,
travel, and other activities not even a romance writer will confess to. She’s
in a committed love affair with her readers, so don’t be shy!
BETH
D. CARTER
Beth likes writing about the very
ordinary girl thrust into extraordinary circumstances, so her heroines will
probably never be lawyers, doctors, or corporate highrollers. She tries to
write characters who aren’t cookie-cutter and pushes herself to write
complicated situations that she has no idea how to resolve, forcing herself to
think outside the box. She loves writing characters who are real, complex, and
full of flaws, heroes and heroines who find redemption through love.
Beth has been pretty fortunate in
life to experience some amazing things. She’s lived in France and traveled
throughout Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. She’s a mom to an amazing little
boy, and she’s surrounded by friends and family. She hates washing dishes but
loves cooking, hates washing clothes but loves wearing them. Her favorite color
is red, but she looks best in black (it’s slimming). She hates people who don’t
pick up their dog’s crap in public places, people who don’t use turn signals,
and people who are rude and condescending. She especially hates discrimination
in all and every form. And although she loves holding a book in her hand, she
absolutely adores her ereader, whom she’s named Ruby.
