Ellery Cross did what she had to do to save her family from ruin. She married a man she wasn’t in love with. Worse, she married a man she knew nothing about.

But Ellery eventually learns all she needs to know about her husband. And sticking around is not an option.

As part of the Harper Security Ops self-defense and tactical training unit, Kane Ramsey spends his days teaching people how to fight back. He promises to teach Ellery the same, even if he’s the one that wants to protect her.

In a perfect world, Ellery and Kane would live happily ever after.

But she won’t be distracted by dreams of a better tomorrow. Ellery has enough to worry about right now. And getting involved with Kane would not only be foolish, it could also be deadly for both of them.

BLURB

"If you liked Crazy Rich Asians, you're going to LOVE Crazy Apologetic Canadians!"

I take one look at the grumpy Brit and know I’m in trouble. Not because he’s in Nova Scotia to tear down our beloved amusement park. Or because he wants to build an elite school on the lush property.

No, I’m in trouble because Colin Parker is superlicious – despite the stick up his British bum.

You see, I’m a free-spirited girl who knows her way around a lobster boat. He’s a rule follower who knows his way around a boardroom. Can you say polar opposites?

Oh, did I mention his mother is back in England planning his marriage? The sexy Brit with a debutante makes sense, right?

You know what doesn’t make sense? The two of us between the sheets and a montage of fun activities that finally put a smile on his face. But when the montage ends, and life turns messy and complicated—yet we still manage to find common ground—it leads me to believe we’re not so different after all.

Until he does the one thing that proves me wrong and I’m forced to make a decision I thought I’d never have to make.

I want a second chance at winning his heart… He wants a second chance at breaking mine.

Morgana

I should never have fallen for the playboy next door, but even after seven years my heart still beats for Teddy Grant.

The ring on my finger says otherwise.

When fate throws us together again, I can tell Teddy despises me and the family-approved fiance I’m bound to. I don’t blame him—after all, how was he to know why I had to give him up?

Now the eyes that once shone bright for me burn with a hatred so fierce, I wilt under its intensity.

But his blazing fury is about to rekindle a passion I’ve never been able to resist...

Teddy

She’s here. In my city, at my work, making me feel things I long thought were dead and buried.

The one that got away.

But even with that shiny rock on her finger, I know Morgana’s still mine. I know every flush of her skin and bite of that perfect lip is for me. She craves me, the way I still crave her.

And I hate it.

When Morgana broke me, the man she left in her wake is no longer the boy she said she loved.

She made a mistake by coming here. One I’m going to relish. After all, what’s a few more mistakes between exes?

A PhD student who wants a recommendation, a scientist who needs an assistant, and a new product that will change people’s lives…if the two don’t kill each other first.

I, Sophie Carson, put my PhD in biochemistry on hold for my ex-husband. Now, nothing will stop me from getting what I want. That’s why I'm accepting a gig as a research assistant at a pharmaceutical company to earn points with my university and gain valuable experience. A win-win, right?

Only my new boss, Dr. Max Goodall, turns out to be the gorgeous guy with a panty-melting British accent I danced with and kissed at a bar. The worst part? He doesn’t remember me. Okay, I downplay my looks at work, but still…

Now, we’re stuck working together. Max is smart and sexy, but we clash over everything. And I mean everything. That doesn’t stop our chemistry from growing…exponentially.

We can’t react.

After my analysis, he’ll be poised for greatness, and I’ll get a glowing recommendation. How hard can ignoring our attraction and focusing only on the data be?

#BookBlitz: The Catcher Dream by Kelly Anne Manuel @RABTBookTours #Giveaway

Children's Book

Date Published: 07/29/2022

Publisher: Balboa Press, a division of Hay House, Inc.

 

"The Catcher Dream" was born as a poem and remains so in this newly minted Book Five of Kelly Anne Manuel's Childhood Classics.

In this story the Child is invited on a journey where self-empowerment is modeled through an interaction between the narrator and a fictionalized character known as the Catcher Dream.

This is a story where the narrator models strength and courage once an uncomfortable matter is identified through self-assessment.

"The Catcher Dream" offers a standing invitation to the Child. The Child will learn that they are individuals in charge of safeguarding their physical and emotional space. It is an example of how imperative it is to process the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that uncomfortable matters provoke.

 The simple words take on new meaning as the illustrations pair perfectly with their presentation. The Child will observe illustrations that are in alignment with the serious tone of the story. It is important that the art match the conflict presented and resolved by the narrator.

The narrator shows the Child that once a boundary was encroached upon, speaking up in a firm manner provided a solution. Children learn how to handle conflict by observation. It is important for their literature to address a balanced yet firm approach to conflict resolution.

The author intends this book to be a launch pad for discussions about personal space, respect, and boundaries. These are all areas that deserve to be explored frequently as the Child ages. It is in Early Childhood that futures are being constructed.

"The Catcher Dream" is a tool in a Caregiver's toolbox to assist with that healthy formation. The idea that self-empowerment is formed during these early years is embraced by the author.

The Children who read this book will be rewarded with a valuable lesson that facing fears results in the positive trait of resilience.
