Humans are taught that death is the end, that it’s their soul’s final curtain call. But for the members of Valhalla Rising MC, death is only the beginning.

Viking…

I never asked to be one of the chosen, never dreamed a place like Valhalla existed. Yet that’s exactly where I ended up when a Valkyrie plucked me from obscurity. I’m respected here, celebrated as a fallen warrior, but none of it lessens my vicious need for revenge or fills the hollow parts of me.

As president of Valhalla Rising MC, it’s my job to make sure the Warrior Code of Conduct is adhered to, and that Odin’s orders are carried out. But that becomes infinitely more difficult when I’m sent back to the land of the living for a mission that puts me in direct contact with a Legacy. And then there’s the matter of the beautiful woman my soul seems to recognize.

I know I can complete my mission, but I’m not as convinced I’ll be able to do it without breaking all the rules.

Makayla…

As a doctoral candidate in mythological studies, I’m doing my thesis on Valhalla. I’ve always been obsessed with tales and legends that get passed down through the generations. I love my life, my little corner of the world I’ve carved out for myself. So much so that I’m immersed in history to the point that I’m oblivious to the danger lurking in the present.

When my space is invaded by a man who insists that I’ve got things all wrong, my existence shifts into something unrecognizable. Where there was once order and understanding, there’s now chaos and uncertainty. And I don’t hate it… because he’s there.

I know he has rules to follow, but will they hinder his ability to keep me safe? Or will he break them for me… for us?

Release Date: September 22, 2023

BLURB

Once upon a time, there lived a lovely curvy second-grade teacher who battled the heart of the hunter and won.

My life is spiraling out of control.

I never expected my daughter’s mother to die and leave me, struggling to raise our eight-year-old alone. So far, I’ve managed to lose my focus, alienate my best friend, and put the business I worked so hard to build in jeopardy.

Nor did I anticipate the curvy woman who had every right to think of me as a heartless real estate tycoon could desire me as much as I desired her. Neither of us are looking for forever. Yet, we can’t deny the magnetic attraction between us—even though she used to despise me for trying to demolish her home. Another problem? She’s my daughter’s teacher.

I won’t risk my daughter’s heart for someone I know won’t stick around, but the more I see of Wren’s passion, kindness, and dedication to her students, especially my daughter, the more my closed-off heart cracks open.

How do we move forward when I’m not ready to let go of the past, and she isn’t willing to risk her job to change the status of our relationship?

#BookReview: Summons to Berlin by @JoanneIntrator @shewritespress

Synopsis: On his deathbed, Dr. Joanne Intrator’s father poses two unsettling 

“Are you tough enough? Do they know who you are?”

Joanne soon realizes that these haunting questions relate to a center-city Berlin building at 16 Wallstrasse that the Nazis ripped away from her family in 1938. But a decade is to pass before she will fully come to grasp why her father threw down the gauntlet as he did.

Repeatedly, Joanne’s restitution quest brings her into confrontation with yet another of her profound fears surrounding Germany and the Holocaust. Having to call on reserves of strength she’s unsure she possesses, the author leans into her professional command of psychiatry, often overcoming flabbergasting obstacles perniciously dumped in her path.

The depth and lucidity of psychological insight threaded throughout Summons to Berlin makes it an attention-grabbing standout among books on like topics. As a reader, you’ll come away delighted to know just who Dr. Joanne Intrator is. You’ll also finish the book cheering for her, because in the end, she proves far more than tough enough to satisfy her father’s unnerving final demands.

#BookReview: Of Princes and Promises (St. Rosetta's Academy #2) by Sandhya Menon

Synopsis: From the New York Times bestselling author of When Dimple Met Rishi comes the second installment in a brand-new series set an elite boarding school that’s a contemporary spin on fairy tales, this one a delightful, romantic twist on The Frog Prince.

Caterina LaValle is determined to show she’s still the queen of St. Rosetta’s Academy. Sure, her crown may be slightly askew after her ex-boyfriend, Alaric, cheated on her, but she’s a LaValle. She’ll find a way to march right back in there, her hands clutching the strings to the whole puppet show. This time, she’s going to be untouchable.

Rahul Chopra knows that moment he shared with Caterina LaValle at the winter formal meant something. Surely she feels it, too. He’s a little uncertain how someone like him (socially inept to a point way past “adorkable”) could fit into her world, but he’s loved Caterina for years. He knows they’ll find a way.

When Caterina finds out Alaric is taking a supermodel to the upcoming gala, she knows she cannot arrive without the perfect date. But the thought of taking another superficial St. R’s boy exhausts her. The solution? Sweet-but-clueless Rahul Chopra and a mysterious pot of hair gel with the power to alter the wearer into whatever his heart desires.

When Rahul tries it, he transforms instantly into RC—debonair, handsome, and charming. But transformation comes with a price: As Rahul enjoys his new social standing, the line between his two personas begins to blur. Will he give up everything, including Caterina, to remain RC? Or will this unlikely pair find their way back to each other?

Now, this filthy talking man is demanding payment, but he doesn’t want money.

He wants me in his bed, obeying his every command.

All my life, I wanted to be loved. Instead, I was ignored.

My father gave me what I wanted so he could go back to ignoring me.

Once I understood that, life became easier.

When he arranged to marry me off to the son of his biggest ally, I didn’t mind.

Marco was the older brother of my best friend and honestly, he made me burn.

I wanted to belong to him.

I wanted in his life, his bed and definitely in his heart.

So, I left.

The fact Marco didn’t fight to keep me was horrifically painful.

When one really bad decision lands me in hot water.

I reach out to the only person who has ever cared about me, my best friend Lina.

Too bad, she’s also Marco’s little sister. Marco rescues me, but he’s no white knight.

He’s a monster.
