#BookPromo – The She Book by Tanya Markul

The She Book is a collection of 107 poems and prose written for you. Because this is your year to live the life of your dreams, to heal, to witness, to be the one who queens.

Once a silent star in the sky, lost, alone and unnoticed, she began to dream her life awake.

Sensitivity brought light to her dark side and vulnerability found words for what her heart felt but could not say.

Pain helped her remember the power within her storm, the wisdom in her breakdowns and the healing visions hidden within her moonlit nightmares.

On her journey to shine from within her deepest ache, she blossomed from what felt like an insignificant twinkle to a blazing awakening woman.

#BookPromo #Freebie Once Upon A Bet: A Grumpy Single Dad Romance by Penelope Bloom

All I ever wanted was the perfect happily ever after.
All he ever wanted was to ruin my freaking life.
Okay, that’s a smidge dramatic, but hear me out.

My new neighbor might as well plant an “unavailable” sign in his front yard.

He’s got biceps made for pulling swooning maidens out of danger, eyes built for melting glaciers (and panties), and a smile that makes my knees want to buckle.

But he’s grumpy, stubborn, divorced with two kids, and he’s only in town for three months.

It’s pretty obvious I need to stay far, far away.

But then he kisses me.
First, I see stars. Then I see babies with steely blue eyes and chiseled jawlines.
I see white-picket fences and just maybe that happily ever after I always dreamed of.

He says the best he can do is three months of casual fun.
No feelings. No attachments. Then he’ll move on, and so should I.

Remember the part about him ruining my life? Yeah, I didn’t even get to it yet.

That all started with a bet.

“Husband-and-wife private investigators Troy and Eva Winters split their time between their investigation work and their more leisurely pursuit as innkeepers on the coast of Oregon. They
befriend a new guest, Jasmine, and when they learn she’s on the hit list of a newly released
criminal, the tension soars. Well-drawn, immensely likable characters and an outstanding sense
of place mark this intriguing, fast-paced thriller.” Angela M., Line Editor, Red Adept Editing
