More Than Sisters
by W Mason Dunn 

Reverend Daniel Ferguson and his wife are the parents of three girls, twenty-year-old Olivia, eight-year-old Gayle and eighteen-month-old Dani. Mrs. Ferguson seems healthy which is why it is a surprise to everyone when she has to go to the hospital. Olivia promises her dying mother that she will help her father care for her two young sisters.

With Olivia’s help, Reverend Ferguson somehow begins to manage his grieving family and new responsibilities. But when he meets and marries a woman who is virtually unknown to the family, conflict arises as Olivia fights to keep the promise she made to her mother.

Years pass and Reverend Ferguson dies of a heart attack. The sisters face another turning point -- Olivia vehemently battles to care for her sisters; Gayle desperately wants to make it on her own; and baby sister Dani surreptitiously battles issues of abandonment.

A series of unexpected occurrences draw the sisters into adverse situations and they struggle with a dark secret... a secret that could once again drive the family apart and test their faith in God.

Broken Spirit Kindle Edition
by Rose Jackson-Beavers (Author)

What do you do when your meticulous plans are irrevocably changed? Did you ever have control over your life? What actions can lead you to your destiny or to disaster, and can we ever truly see the big picture?

Stephanie Whitmore had it all together. A young, wealthy businesswoman, with a sexy, and positive attitude, engaged to a man women salivated to spend time in his company. Donnie Johnson, an all-American, successful computer analyst with a passion for mentoring troubled youth, loved women. After a long business trip, Stephanie arrived a day early to Donnie's home to find her fiancé in a compromising position. With thoughts of suicide dancing in her head, and an evil voice encouraging her to kill herself, nothing could satisfy the pain in her heart but death. But God had other plans for her life, and once she listened to His voice, her life would be forever changed.

Pastor Daniel Winston served as the pastor of a large church in an urban community. A single man who longed to find a wife stayed in prayer asking God to bless him. When Stephanie rushed into his church covered in blood, he wanted to help her. When their hands touched, he experienced a spark that would ignite a fire in his heart so deep, he almost became blind to her issues and couldn't determine if he was trying to help her or himself. But when God is involved, nothing is as it seems and with His plans, the road to redemption may be rough, but the results so fulfilling.



Thankful, Blessed and Sometimes Stressed
by Renee Spivey 

Life...It has its highs and its lows. If we're honest, sometimes its hard to pray. It's hard to be thankful all the time, especially when it seems as if everything is coming against us. Sometimes, we just want to yell, scream and cry. And at other times, we want to give praise and send up requests on behalf of ourselves and others. With this journal, you can do it all. Write in order or out of order, according to how you feel that day based on the prayer prompts listed throughout the journal. It's the perfect size for on the go, your war room, your beside or wherever you find yourself thankful, blessed and sometimes stressed.

After following an Instagram model who seemed confident about her dark brown skin, the 14 year old freshmen decides that she's going to re-define her own beauty. The melanin queen movement is born and Melanie is inspiring girls across the Paradise Academy campus to confidently embrace their shade of beautiful brown skin, too.

How Being Broken Saved Me...
by Angelia Vernon Menchan

This is my story and others are only mentioned to show how being broken saved me. I hear many stories of people who are unable to get past being black, poor, and fatherless, molested, maligned, ignored or abused. I experienced all of these things and I stand whole and able to share. It wasn’t easy and there were times when I was a bitter as quinine but I triumphed. This is something I wavered back and forth on doing for many years in my desire to protect people. For whatever reason or reasons, I am past that and am no longer ashamed of whence I came or how I overcame. My intent is not to judge or malign but to tell my truth as it happened and in doing so, I pray that God’s will is done.




My Joy (California Love Book 1)
by Suzette D. Harrison 

Joy Matthews isn’t afraid of risks. She’s quit her Fortune 500 job and enrolled in culinary school, chasing her dream. Joy wants her own couture cake boutique. Pursuing her dream by day, Joy pays the bills working nights at The Hourglass—an exclusive gentlemen’s club catering to patrons who enjoy "a little extra fine on a woman’s frame." Joy’s catching up to her dream when a chance encounter reconnects her with Quinton Daley, a childhood friend. Mutual attraction throws the proverbial wrench in Joy’s relationship-phobic, happily agnostic life. A goal-oriented woman who "doesn’t do men with Bible breath," Joy sees in Quinton a whole lot of what she likes but doesn’t need. Tall, chocolate-skinned, and born-again, Quinton’s Christianity poses a risk even the tenacious Joy isn’t willing to take. Quinton Daley isn’t fazed. He’s a man of faith who will willingly wait on Joy to come to God…and him. When love and lust heat up, Joy and Quinton face a predicament. Will they indulge? Or abstain? Join this wild mix of custom cakes, a saved, sanctified and sexy man, and an obsessed patron from The Hourglass who’s determined to make Joy’s life a sticky mess. It’s a recipe for a read that’s wickedly witty and delicious.

Kairos: The Perfect Time for Love
by Natasha D. Frazier

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens… Ecclesiastes 3:1

Kensi Jacobson believed in that truth with all of her heart, but when she’s up for a promotion for her dream job as assistant editor-in-chief of The Big Apple Chronicle, she hits a roadblock. She put in the work and trusted God for what she believed was her season of elevation, but her boss’ idea of a promotion was to send her to Pepperton, TX for another assignment.

This new assignment pairs her up with a handsome widower, Darren Shaw, who helps her learn that delay and disappointment can sometimes become a catalyst for something greater. Seemingly burdened with the fact that she is the only one in her circle who isn’t married with children and a career that isn’t headed in the direction she planned, she begins to wonder when her time and season are coming. Will Kensi learn that Kairos - God’s perfect timing, is much more powerful than Chronos - her chronological timetable, and trust that things will fall into place at the right time? What begins as a crush to her ego and life plan may become the perfect time for love and everything else she’s wanted.

Book Spotlight - Brave Wolf and the Lady by Karen Kay






Book 2, The Clan of the Wolf Series
By
Karen Kay

He saved her life, then stole her heart….

To escape an arranged marriage, Mia Carlson, daughter of a U.S. senator, instead elopes with the man she loves. As they are escaping from her Virginia home, heading west, their wagon train is brutally attacked, leaving Mia alone and in grave danger. Rescue comes from a most unlikely source, a passing Lakota scouting party, led by the darkly handsome Indian, Brave Wolf. 

Although Brave Wolf has consented to guide Mia to the nearest trading post, he holds himself apart from her, for his commitments lie elsewhere.  But long days on the trail lead to a deep connection with the red-haired beauty.  Yet, he can’t stop wondering why death and danger stalk this beautiful woman, forcing him to rescue her time and again.  Who is doing this, and why?

One thing is clear, however: Amid the flurry of dodging assassin bullets, Brave Wolf and Mia come into possession of a powerful love. But is it all for naught?   Will Brave Wolf’s obligations and Mia’s secret enemy from the past finally succeed in the sinister plot to destroy their love forever?

Warning:  Sensuous romance and cameo appearances of Tahiska and Kristina from the book, Lakota Surrender, might cause a happily-ever-after to warm your heart.

Coming up with a caregivers’ pact was easy when Tabitha Knicely agreed to it with her two sisters. The reality of implementing their plan was more complicated than they had imagined.

As Aunt Tweet’s wandering leads her into the path of a handsome neighbor, Tabitha begins to wonder if God was directing her aunt’s path for a reason.
