Dawn Of The Century (The American Chronicles Book 1) by Robert Vaughan #ASMSG #Bookboost
Dawn Of The Century (The American Chronicles Book 1)
by Robert Vaughan
In Volume One of The American Chronicles, Robert Vaughan panoramically evokes America at the beginning of the Twentieth Century, poised on the brink of greatness and fraught with the tumult of rapid change.
In a time of robber-baron industrialists and rapid territorial expansion both at home and abroad, the new music called “ragtime” is the soundtrack for a confident nation of ambitious dreamers.
It is 1904 and the nation’s eyes are on the St. Louis World's Fair, which features an astounding variety of modern marvels. The enormous exhibition brings together the best minds the country has to offer, each of them with something to lose and opportunities to seize: Bob Canfield, a young and wealthy landowner who is willing to risk his honor and his fortune to make a profit out of the desert; Eric Twainbough, a solitary young cowboy riding the rails East from Wyoming, innocently bringing disaster with him; Terry Perkins, a reporter desperate to get the scoop on the story in St. Louis; Connie Bateman, one of the politically conscious new women fighting for freedom, bravely defending their right to equality.

The day Claire first sees William, she gets what she wants most in the

demands her attention. William has the answers to questions Claire's
been asking for years.
There's no way she's prepared for the truth.
The Immortal Memories series is a paranormal romantic suspense vampire series that has readers recommending it as both "more vampire story than love story" and "a must read for all lovers of paranormal romance."

Solstice (Rain and Bullets Book 3) Gripping Suspense Thriller #ASMSG #IARTG
Solstice (Rain and Bullets Book 3)
By Ian Pattinson
“You’re a tough one, Danny. I’ll give you that.”
The figure slumped against the concrete didn’t acknowledge the
compliment beyond flinching away from the sound of his assailant’s
voice.
Something heavy rumbled over the bridge above them at speed. Even as
Saturday rolled over into Sunday, there were still vehicles on the
motorway.
The bulky, black clad figure stood over his victim, blocking the
view of anything but his dark shape. Danny registered, barely, the light
rustling noise that accompanied his assailant’s movements, but he was
even less able to understand it than he had been before the beating
started.
“Of course, being so tough has just meant I had to hurt you more.”
It's the Summer solstice.
Maria wants to find her cousin, who has been put into a children's home run by a company called Vantage and disappeared.
Tomas wants to help Maria, and find out who Vantage are bribing to get all their contracts whilst he's doing it.
Kay Wood has just landed her first ever murder case- a body pulled
out of the Irwell with a strange symbol carved into his chest.
Irwin Baker has been called by his old boss at MI6, asking if he can
help Manchester Police investigate a murder with links to killings in
Iraq.
It's going to be a very long day for all of them.
When Maria and Tomas uncover dark secrets in Vantage's offices, they
find themselves in great danger, hunted by a killer who leaves his
signature in the bodies of his victims. Can Kay and Irwin get to them
before the killer does?

Excerpt of Callie's Heart #ASMSG #IARTG My first published book my first Best Seller
She knew that it wasn't a real marriage. Somehow, her heart became involved. The truth cut painfully. Callie walked over to the full-length mirror and gazed at her reflection. Her skin appeared too white and her blonde hair too dark. A few weeks in the Texas sun would take care of that. Her sadness reflected back to her in her violet eyes. Sometimes people stared at her eyes they were an unusual color.
She shook head in disgust, went to her closet, and found a pair of her old jeans and a faded red t-shirt. She couldn't believe she had worn a dress and left her hair down for her supposed husband. No more pretending to be anything other than a rancher. Dressed in her normal clothes, she pulled on her old scuffed boots and tried to smile.
Looking in the mirror again, Callie braided her hair down her back. Her heart still broke, but she refused to cry. Putting on her black Stetson, she walked out of her room and out of the house. It wasn't her house anymore. It never was. They had decided to close up her homestead and have her move into Garrett's farmhouse. It had all been an illusion, the same as her marriage.
The newly painted barn looked good. Callie's step lightened as she made her way to her horse, Pirate. Pirate had been her horse since forever. He'd been a gift from her father. From the first time she sat on Pirate's shiny black back, the two had become inseparable. Laughing as Pirate nickered at her; she opened the stall and walked in. Immediately she hugged her best friend, wishing she could just cry against his neck.
It surprised her to see Garrett waiting on his porch when she led Pirate out of the barn. Callie looked away and jumped onto the saddle. She knew he wanted to say something but she just couldn't. Turning Pirate, she headed out toward open land.

The last thing cowboy Colt O’Malley needs is another busybody intent on curing him of his grief. Deeply bitter, Colt finds it almost impossible honoring his brother’s last act of kindness.
Spring Reed grew up in the foster care system and when she finally ages out, she relies on her protector and friend, Billy Jack to help them make a life together. To her horror, Billy becomes an abusive bully. Her rescuer arrives in the form of a coffee drinking, hard studying, college student, Caleb O’Malley. With a promise of a new job, he buys her a bus ticket from Texas to his family ranch in Montana with the plan to meet her there in a week.
Unfortunately, no one met her. When Old Ed tries to drop Spring off at the O’Malley ranch, Colt tells him to take her back. One glance at the pain in her eyes and he couldn’t send her away. She reminds her of the abused horses he rescues and he had to try to honor Caleb’s wish.
Can two people with scarred souls learn to love again or will bitterness and doubt drive them apart?

Tuesday Tales Picture word Prompt- #ASMSG #IARTG
Welcome to Tuesday Tales- This week we are using a picture as our prompt- it isn't part of a book just a short piece inspired by the picture
Mary stopped her Junker of a car at the familiar turnoff.
Sweat poured off her body as her heart jammed into her throat. Was it a good
idea? The same question repeatedly ran through her mind. Grabbing the steering
wheel, until her knuckles turned white, she glanced into the back seat where
sweet baby James slept.
What type of reception would she get? Her parents scurried
her out of town as soon as she confessed her pregnancy. They’d sent her to live
with her aunt and planned for her to place the child for adoption. It’d been
hell living with Aunt Trixie. She was one mean, spiteful woman who treated her
as though she’d committed a mortal sin. There had been many days, when Trixie
made her scrub floors on her hands and knees.
Mary turned onto Country road number seven and drove into
town. The people of the town always compared themselves to Mayberry, a
fictional town of a TV show. Little did they know they were quite the opposite.
Hypocrites every one of them, except for Jack. Jack was as good as they came and
he probably hated her for leaving. Her parents shuffled her out of town without
allowing her to say goodbye. No internet, cell phone, mail or telephone
allowed.
Baby James began to fuss until he began full-blown wailing.
It was feeding time. Pulling off to the side of the road, she got into the back
seat and lifted James. She’d just uncovered her breast when a car stopped
behind her and Jack knocked on the window and opened the door. Quickly she
fumbled to cover herself.
“Thank God you still have the baby.”
“You knew?”
“I know your body and your heart. I knew you’d be back, my
love.”
Tears rolled down her face.
Thank you so much for stopping by for more Tuesday Tales-
