Beautifully Destroyed- Beautifully Series 

by Gracie Wilson 

~Even something once destroyed can be beautiful again

Synopsis

Life can take you by surprise, it can also put you through hell. My fate was never my own to deal with. It was ruined before I even had a chance. It was a rough start and it hasn’t gotten much better. Hiding behind the walls of my room is how I get through each day. Destroyed doesn’t even begin to describe the way my life has been.

Finally, I get away and things are looking up. Of course nothing can go right and some things are just too much to bear. In comes the one thing I can’t have. I’ve read so many books and I know the drill. Rock stars and musicians are not for me. I can’t hide when they are always in the light. Something about him makes me want to step into that light, though.

He is constantly bringing me to new levels and places I could never imagine. The secrets I’ve tried to keep to myself are breaking into my new life. Having him around is helping but the outside world ruins us as well. I either have to take the chance and let him in or push him away once and for all. Every time I pull away he is right back here pushing his way back in. He is relentless, he is everything I shouldn’t have. Those secrets I tried to keep hidden begin to surface, bringing havoc to our lives.

The world so desperately wants to keep us apart and I might just let it to keep my secrets. Do I sit back and let the world pass me by or do I finally let those wounds heal and have the life he thinks I deserve?

The Prison Guard’s Son- Young Guns Book 1 

by LaVerne Thompson writing as Ursula Sinclair

~ I can only be who I am

Synopsis

I can only be who I am.

Pike ~ I never knew my mother. I tell people she died shortly after I was born, that stops any more questions. So I don’t have to say she was a convicted felon who died while in prison. Nor do I have to talk about the fact that my father was one of her guards. He raised me as best he could. The one thing I never had or wanted was a family, he was family enough. The only other thing I ever needed was my music. I never pretended to be anything other than what I am, but then she entered my life and my music suffered. I needed to be someone else, anyone else or I could never have her. She could never know the truth about me or I wouldn’t be there to save her.  

                                                                 

Eryn ~ I never knew my father. Growing up in a large extended family, I was never alone. I just grew up without a father. He died before I was born and while I always had adult male relatives to help guide me, I still missed him. He never even knew of my existence, but I felt his presence everyday of my life. His legacy helped shape me. Then I heard this voice one day, singing with such a soul deep loneliness. I had to respond. But when I did, he turned my world upside down.

The Reason Why. Breathless Series 

by Izzibella Beau

~ Everybody has one…a reason why.

Synopsis

What happens when you think you’ve met the man of your wildest dreams, only to find out that there is no way ever, in any shape of form, that he wanted any sort of relationship with you? Do you walk away or do you fight for the first time for something in your life that actually feels right?

Alabama’s life hadn’t been easy. She was born to an unwed mother, who couldn’t even remember Alabama’s daddy’s name, and top it all off her momma never took the time to stop partying to raise her the way a southern girl should be raised.

After being teased by school mates for twelve years of her life, about how her momma acted and the fact that she was named after the state she lived in, Alabama was going to college. Well, that all changed when her momma got arrested and the judge sentenced her to rehabilitation for eighteen months. Being without a house, money, or any family, Alabama was sent to live with her momma’s friend in North Carolina.

This was a brand new start, in a brand new state, brand new town, and a brand new college. No one here knew who she was or where she came from. She was free to do what she wanted for the first time ever in her life, falling in love just happened to be one of those first time things.

Alabama feel in love with two boys, brothers and the sons of the one she was sent to live with to be exact. One she loved as her best friend the other she loved because he stole away every breath she took.

Joshua and Hunter were as opposite as night and day. Joshua was the conservative brother who was a southern gentleman, and Hunter, well he put the word ‘bad’ in bad boy rocker.

Hunter had more problems than he had solutions. He just wanted to get on with his life, get his recording contract going once more, and live the life he’d always wanted. He never expected to have these feelings again, ones that made everything else take a back seat in his life except for the girl, ones that made him loose control, and ones that had the possibility of ruining his life once again. These feelings couldn’t be happening again, especially not with his mom’s new pet project, Alabama. 

Alabama loved Joshua, he was her confidant and best friend, but she wasn’t in love with him. She loved Hunter, but just because you love someone doesn’t mean they are going to love you back.

Should Alabama play it safe and stay with Joshua and never having that great feeling of longing, wanting, and desire? Or should she take a chance, maybe get her heart broken on the one that rocked her world inside and out and made her completely, utterly…breathless.
