#ReleaseTour: Free to Fall by @authorlouiselennox @TheIndiePenPR


She’s his greatest temptation. He’s her biggest risk. Together, they just might fall...

Jabari

Love? I don’t do that anymore. I’ve had my fill of betrayal, of trusting the wrong people, of letting my guard down only to be burned. My life is about control now—running the Freeman family empire, upholding our legacy, and keeping my heart locked behind walls no one can break.

Then she shows up.

Sierra Watson is nothing like the women I’ve known—bold, beautiful, and completely unimpressed by me. She challenges me, meets my sharp edges with smooth confidence, and refuses to be anything less than herself. I should stay away. I need to stay away. But when she looks at me, I feel something shift, something crack open that I thought was long dead.

But love has cost me before, and I can’t afford to lose again.

Sierra

I don’t have time for love. Not when my family is depending on me. Not when my sister’s reckless decisions have forced me into a second job I never wanted, working for the powerful Freeman family to clean up a mess I didn’t make.

Then I meet him.

Jabari Freeman is infuriating—cold, controlled, and way too arrogant for his own good. He pushes, I push back. But the more I fight it, the harder it becomes to ignore the fire between us. And when that fire ignites, it’s impossible to put out.

But love has never come without sacrifice for me. And just when I think I might finally have something for myself, the life I’ve been trying to escape comes crashing back in.

Jabari has his own demons to fight, and I have mine. The question is… are we strong enough to fight for each other?

πŸ”₯ Enemies-to-lovers tension πŸ”₯ Irresistible chemistry πŸ”₯ Steamy Small Town Romance πŸ”₯ A love worth risking everything for Set against the lush backdrop of Southern Maryland’s Chesapeake Heights, Free to Fall is a soulful story of resilience, redemption, featuring the Freeman family. This is Book One: Jabari's Story.

What every new physician needs to know now . . . and every practicing doctor wishes they had known.

The truth behind The Business of Medicine.

 

You’re at the end of a long journey that has brought you from a fledgling medical student with nothing but dreams and desire, through one of the most arduous courses of study known to mankind, to a place of relief, and . . . well, fear. As you begin this new chapter in your life, you will soon discover that your studies have made you book-smart. But sadly, you haven’t been exposed to the real world or the business side of medicine . . . until now.


In The Business of Medicine, Dr. Tung Giep lifts the veil of the healthcare industry to expose the underbelly that every new doctor needs to know to join a new practice and begin your career.

 

•         Are you clear on your career goals and career path?

•         What are the different malpractice insurances?

•         What are your employment options?

•         What questions should you ask during a job interview?

•         How do you assess the best compensation package?

•         What red flags should you look for before signing a contract?

•         How do you get in and out of a contract if needed . . . or can you?

•         How do you negotiate your contract?


Packed with wisdom, guidance, and a healthy dose of humor, this book is the definitive guide to help new physicians navigate the complex landscape of the medical profession and emerge with far fewer bumps and bruises than they would otherwise.

Dr. Tung Giep is a practicing neonatologist who has excelled in his specialty for more than thirty years. His background includes board certification in pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine and over twenty-five years as a medical director in community hospitals. Dr. Giep founded and served as president of Newborn Intensive Care Specialists (NICS) for seventeen years, where he and his staff provided hospitals with 24/7 neonatology, pediatric hospitalists, and Maternal Fetal Medicine programs. In 2017, the company was sold to a national company.

His backstory as a refugee from Vietnam and eldest of four sons—all of whom followed in the footsteps of their physician father—is the story of a kid who, by no effort of his own, found himself in a family of physicians and a country of opportunity. He took that foundation and made his way in a profession that exposed him to the best and the worst of humanity. Here, he shares what he learned in hopes that his experiences will help others avoid some of the same mistakes and build a career—and possibly a business—to be proud of.

#BookReview: The Stars Are Dying (Nytefall, #1) by Chloe C. PeΓ±aranda



"The brightest star needs the darkest night."

In a world abandoned by the celestial guardians and left to suffer a tyrant king’s reign, all Astraea knows is safety in seclusion. With fragmented memories of only five years of her life, she’s determined to discover more about her past, even if that means fleeing the cruel arms that hold her safe from the wicked vampires rumored to roam the land.

But when Astraea stumbles upon the mysterious Nyte, she soon realizes determination alone isn’t enough to guard her heart. He lingers like the darkness that expands between the stars, and soon she discovers her captor’s wicked means of control weren’t based on a lie to keep her under locks after all. In her desperation, Astraea accepts Nyte’s help before she can decide if she might have sold her allegiance to one of the bloodthirsty beings the people of her world fear.

Once their bargain is struck, Astraea’s chance to escape comes in the form of accompanying her best friend Cassia to the King’s Central. There on royal territory it’s the centenary of the Libertatem, a succession of trials hosted by the king in which five human lands compete for a cycle of safety from the vampires seeking blood, claiming souls, and savaging after dark. So when tragedy strikes, Astraea must decide if taking the place of a murdered participant for the safety of her kingdom is a ruse worth dying for, or if protection—and the answers to her past—really are her strongest desires.
