A Garland at Bitterbark Creek
His Secret Holds the Key to Her Lost
Memory
A Garland at Bitterbark Creek
By Tammy Mannersly
Genre: Rural Romance
He’s found a new home with her family while his own holds
secrets to her past…This heart-wrenching 300+ page
rural romance novel will have you gasping and keep you guessing as mysteries
unravel, and as Jack and Sophie discover whether their love for one another can
survive the deepest of wounds and darkest of betrayals.
Had it not been for her cousin’s wedding, Sophie Wendall would never have
returned to Bitterbark Creek—her aunt and uncle’s idyllic farm-stay on the
outskirts of town. Twenty years ago, tragedy stole everything from her
including her memory, leaving only secrets and lies. Now that she’s back, there
are just two things on her mind: to find out the truth of what really happened
to her that day at the dam and to steer clear of the wicked Garland family and
their charismatic son—the boy who broke her heart.
Jackson Garland is one of the few people who know what really happened to
Sophie all those years ago, but he’s terrified of sharing the truth. To do so
would jeopardize his happy sanctuary and newfound home at Bitterbark Creek.
Upon reconnecting with Sophie, he realizes that while her extended family may
have accepted him as one of their own, she’s going to take a little more
convincing. Although he tries to charm and distract her to keep his secrets
safe, it isn’t long before he’s at risk of falling under her own tantalizing
spell.
As children, their love for one another kept them close until a car accident
took one life and hatred tried to steal another. But dark truths can’t be
hidden forever when ghosts from the past step into the light. Might the
revelations be too daunting for them to handle? Or will Jack and Sophie finally
put aside their family history and let love guide them into a future together?
A GARLAND AT BITTERBARK CREEK is about
heartbreaking loss, rediscovering love and the healing ability of forgiveness
and acceptance. If you love reading the novels of Mandy Magro, Alissa Callen,
and Rachael Johns, then you will adore this heartfelt, second chance love story
by award-winning author, Tammy Mannersly.

Katie Walsh expects to write a love story someday. The hero resembles her father, and the heroine the deceased mother she never knew but imagines from the longing on her father’s face.
Katie doesn’t expect her father to be murdered, or his will to leave their farm to Guy Knowles, the man she hoped to marry, and order her to another state. Betrayed by the men she trusted, what should have become a love like no other withers and dies.
Until Ted Howard, who doesn’t fit the hole Guy left in her heart. Instead, he fits himself into what she needs—someone who will stay, protect her, and break his own heart for her if needed.
Read an Excerpt
“I don’t know who hit him. The car never slowed or stopped. They’re looking for it. And the driver.”
But they wouldn’t find either. Mr. Alexandar’s angst told me as much. Whoever did this didn’t plan simply to kill my father, they also planned to escape. The same way my father planned for this moment and afterward. I stared at the envelope that held Papa’s will I couldn’t believe he had.
“I’m sorry.” Clifton Alexandar truly was sorry. He didn’t like the task of verbally removing Papa from my life. He probably didn’t realize he had taken my mother as well. The one person I longed to know but never did. Papa, my sole source of information about the woman he loved, was suddenly gone.
Mr. Alexandar stared through the screen while I suffered a vast implosion of my soul. No Papa. No more tidbits about my mother. I became an orphan in a moment. A seventeen-year-old girl with a house, this farm…and Guy. He had never asked for my hand, but he would. Especially now.

Lizzie Finn grew up in a brothel, and she’s reminded of that fact every day. She dreams of finding a job and becoming independent. Only then can she be free of her aunt’s disdain. First, she must find an employer who won’t turn her away because of her past.
Byron Greeley is determined to save his family’s business after Lizzie’s uncle falsifies the amount Byron owes on a loan from the bank. Determined to find proof of Teague’s perfidy, Byron slips into the banker’s house and rummages through the study only to be discovered by Lizzie, a red-haired beauty who utterly captivates him.
Byron offers Lizzie a job in exchange for information about her uncle, and because she believes her uncle is innocent, she agrees. When Teague discovers Lizzie and Byron’s growing affection, he threatens to destroy Byron and his family, insisting Byron is exploiting her. Is Teague’s warning well-founded? Are Byron’s feelings for Lizzie true, or is Byron using her for his own gain?
Read an Excerpt
A spring in her step, Emma placed the rose gown on the bed and returned to the wardrobe. “I saw the most handsome man last night.”
Lizzie’s pulse leaped. “You did?” Had Emma seen the drunken stranger in Uncle’s study? The handsome intruder had occupied Lizzie’s thoughts all night long.
“Of course I did. He is a sight for sore eyes.” Emma returned with the green skirt and carefully lowed it over Lizzie’s head. “Dark eyes, almost black in color, with a gaze so intense he nearly stole my breath.”
Yes. Exactly. As much as she’d tried, she couldn’t get the memory of those eyes out of her head.
Emma secured the skirt and grabbed the bodice. “And his hair, the same as his eyes, black as night.”
Slipping her arms into the sleeves, Lizzie disagreed, “I would hardly call it black, more a dark brown, the color of chestnuts. Which suits him quite well.” With strong, bold features, and a lean frame … She smiled a little when she thought of him. A handsome devil to be sure.
Emma came around to face Lizzie and began to button the gown’s front. “No. I’m quite sure Felix has darker hair than that.”
“Felix?” Had that been his name?
“Yes, our new footman.”
Footman? Lizzie’s cheeks flamed, and her smile dissipated. The man she’d met last night was no footman. He’d spoken of running his family’s business. How embarrassing to be caught admiring a complete stranger. What was wrong with her?

HE – Blurb Blitz
HE.
Gregory Pakis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Erotic Horror
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
A sexually open-minded couple, Lester and Val, have recently moved into a stylish yet eerie apartment building.
Val’s curiosity is piqued when she starts to receive unusual messages and requests from an anonymous messenger.
Lester is also cautiously intrigued, as Val starts to fulfill the requests.
A suspected sex club soon becomes media headlines when a former member disappears, and the club is reported to have vacated its last premises.
As the messages persist, Lester and Val start to question whether the anonymous messenger is connected to the clandestine club mentioned in the media, and if there is any link between him or the club and the odd newcomers in the apartment next door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
She sat on the couch and stared across the room. Three men sitting opposite watched her closely. Seemingly daring each other to make the first move. None of them summoned the courage. It was understandable. Her beauty was unsettling.
The kind you’d see in a dream. She had a fixed distant stare. She held her space well. Her presence was elusive. Intimidating. You couldn’t quite describe it. Couldn’t be entirely sure about her. She had a nervousness that made her approachable, but then a look in her eye stopped you cold.
Seated nearby, a bespectacled man also watched the woman.
her husband
Couples and singles moved about the party – chatting, flirting, but this man just sat watching her, pretending not to. If you paid attention long enough, you realised the woman was completely aware he was watching.
maybe he is just her boyfriend
they did arrive at the party together, didn’t they
One of the men whispered to the others that he had seen them at a previous party. That they didn’t ‘play’ on that occasion either.
maybe they were just friends
If the man was her partner and approaching her led to some kind of confrontation, he looked easy enough to handle.
there’s three of us..
But the man watching had a fastidious, aggressive quality that was strangely unsettling. Had a striking face. Was well-groomed and gym fit.

A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele
taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so
badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her
time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They’re clean and twisty,
and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and
supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn’t enough, she posts lots of fun
things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at
MPWNovels.com.
Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and
still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the
mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter
Cassie.
When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or
watching the Food Network and imagining she’s an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert,
she’s not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)

Anita Farliegh’s cheating lover caused her to walk away from

Anita Farleigh Unpacks
by Laurie Woodford
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy
One More Time?
Anita Farliegh’s cheating lover caused her to walk away from the only place
she’s called home, and she’s had it. Until a chance meeting with Oliver Gogh, a
talented nurse with a charming bedside manner, who has her thinking he may be
the man who gets her to drop her guard and try romance one more time.
Free-spirited English professor, Anita Farleigh, thinks she
has it all — her ambitious boyfriend, Zach, and a teaching career that actually
pays her to travel. Then, ten days before Christmas, Anita returns home from a
work trip in Shanghai to discover that Zach has dumped her for a domestic
goddess with enough faux fur ottomans to fill a Hobby Lobby showroom.
On one of the worst days of her life, a hungover, disheveled Anita shows up for
a routine doctor’s appointment and meets Oscar, a medical professional who just
happens to be compassionate, funny, and absurdly handsome. When Oscar keeps
showing up in her life, Anita can’t deny their chemistry (Is it her fault that
Oscar fills out his scrubs in exactly the right places?). Or their terrible
timing (It’d be wrong to fall for someone so soon after a bad breakup. Right?).
Neither can she ignore her emerging wish for stability as steadfast Oscar
challenges her penchant for living with one foot out the door.
When a remorseful Zach reappears, wanting to woo back his world traveler, Anita
must decide whether to follow familiar flight patterns or finally open her
heart and make a safe landing.
