The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke series, Book 1)

When girl meets Duke, their marriage breaks all the rules

Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury’s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne’er-do-wells by night. Now there’s a new item on the list. He needs an heir — which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar’s daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she’ll do.

His terms are simple:

–They will be husband and wife by night only.
— No lights, no kissing.
–No questions about his battle scars.

–Last, and most importantly Once she’s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.

But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own:

–They will have dinner together every evening.
–With conversation.
–And unlimited teasing.
–Last, and most importantly Once she’s seen the man beneath the scars, he can’t stop her from falling in love

Girl in Snow

Who are you when no one is watching?

When beloved high school student Lucinda Hayes is found murdered, no-one in her sleepy Colorado suburb is untouched – not the boy who loved her too much; not the girl who wanted her perfect life; not the police officer assigned to investigate. In the aftermath of the tragedy, these three indelible characters – Cameron, Jade, and Russ – must each confront their darkest secrets in an effort to find solace, the truth, or both.

In crystalline prose, Danya Kukafka explores the razor-sharp line between love and obsession, between watching and seeing, between reality and memory. Intoxicating and emotionally intense, Girl in Snow is a gripping debut novel that will linger long after the final chapter.

Blah to Fierce: For Women Who Are Stuck in a Rut (Fierce Girl Empowerment Series) (Volume 1)

The Blah to Fierce book is designed for women who have experienced a set back, a loss or emotional trauma but are now ready to take their power back.Interestingly, the conception of this book began with a simple conversation I was having with a friend who was in a great season of her life, exemplifying exceptional quality, while I was on the polar end of the spectrum. She was looking good, smelling good, talking good, exuding good. Meanwhile, I had just moved and was in an uncomfortable place. I had a baby, gained 77 lbs and moved to another city. I was stressed. I was happy for her but I was also nostalgic. What happened to me? I was that spunky, go-getter with the cute bod and consecutive great hair days. Now, I’m this frumpy chic with no je ne sais quoi? It was at that moment that I decided to challenge myself to get back to me! I took inventory and I made it happen! The result is on the cover of this book. Me …reinvented. You may be asking yourself, is this a book I need? Am I blah? Blah is described as insipid; dull; uninteresting; a feeling of physical uneasiness, general discomfort, or mild depression. But the real question is, “Are you fierce?” Even if you find you are somewhere in the middle, skirting by or if you or someone you know is at a change window in life, this book is a must-read!

Annie, who will fight for the truth no matter what it reveals, starts discovering more sinister details about her family’s history. Why did her peace-loving mother have a police record? Who could explain her father’s fear of mirrors? What about the other woman in her father’s past, who is also missing? And what about her father’s warning to others of a darkness that is hidden inside each of us?

The Girl on Mill Street asks us to explore how much we really know about our own families and how our assumptions can keep us from the truth.
