 A Steamy Second Chance at First Love


Gracie 
I was in high school, when a college guy with a thousand watt smile walks into the barn. Every girls dream, tall, golden tan, with medium blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. My stomach feels like an Olympic platform diver is doing two and half twists inside of me. He was my first kiss as well as my first and only love. I’m thankful I didn’t give him my virginity like I wanted too. In every regard, he was a gentleman with me. However, it only took a month apart for him to shred me like New Year's Eve confetti.

I ran to Ireland to escape his memory to pursue my dreams of becoming a horse trainer. But no matter what I did or where I went, my heart ached like a million needles punctured the very muscle keeping me alive. 

It’s been over a year since that horrible night when he wrecked me, but I knew there would come a day when our paths would cross once again. My dad had a horse running in the Kentucky Oaks. Brandon’s horse, Silver Lining. When I see him holding his little sister, he flashes me that boyish grin and there was no denying the seismic level of activity shifting between us but there was one problem. I don't want revenge. I want him but there is no way a gorgeous, built successful man like Brandon has waited for me. Oh, so maybe there are multiple problems.

Brandon:
At the time, she was considered forbidden fruit. There was no denying our physical attraction and considering my reputation, I did well to only take a small bite. I loved her, even if she doesn’t believe it. But at the first sign of trouble, I failed to trust her and believe in her. So instead of turning to her when I needed her most, I locked her out of my life.

I spent years becoming worthy of her love only to encounter new barriers. She told me once in a low and gentle voice, “Take the road that leads to me.” I’ve tried every road, every path. I’ve crossed oceans and countries trying to find that road. No obstacles were going to stand in my way. Not a boyfriend. Not an ocean. Not even my secret job. Gracie was meant for me.

Time again, horses bring us together but before we can build a solid foundation, secrets of the present and pain of the past may destroy us.

Peak Season

  Peak Season Author : Emily Harrison One winter. One chance. One desire that can't be denied. Lola Maxwell isn't looking for love, she's barely looking up. Reeling from heartbreak and a life that's never quite made sense, she takes a last-minute job with holiday company Powder White, at Le Grenier, chalet hotel tucked deep in the French Alps. It's meant to be simple: work hard, stay out of trouble, and avoid any man with a crooked smile and a snowboard under his arm. Then Harley Nash walks in. Moody, magnetic, and impossible to read, Harley has made a name for himself on and off the slopes. Once a rising snowboarder with a reckless streak, now he's the ski team lead at Powder White, doing everything he can to keep things under control, including himself. The last thing he needs is a new recruit with fire in her eyes and chaos in her wake. But Lola's not easy to ignore. And Harley's not nearly as in control as he looks. As the season deepens, so d...

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)

    The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)      480 Pages, 8.5X11”, Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. Welcome to the deep woods.     Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused were brought into the court, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped.  A chill went up their spine. The girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!”     We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder and more. In varying degrees thi...

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit,  The Revenant’s Mark  blends dark...
