ARRANGEMENT 5 Was Released Today!


Description:


Volume 5 in the Arrangement Serials by NY Times Bestselling Author H.M. Ward


Avery’s emotions are fried, but she doesn’t have to think twice about her BFFs Marty and Mel. They mean everything to her. They’re the family she doesn’t have. In a crisis, they’re the people to have by her side, and God knows this is a crisis. Friends like that are worth their weight in gold.


If only things with Sean were so simple. Regret is something that is impossible to subdue. There are still things to be said, things to do. Life is too short to live in the past, but when Avery wakes up at the hospital she finds that her world has changed.”


Genre: New Adult Romance-Content Warning

This story unfolds over multiple volumes approx. 20,000 words each.

~The Arrangement Vol 1 – 5 are on sale now.~


This volume is longer than the others by about 3,000 words, otherwise they are usually right at 20K words or 100 trade paperback size pages (5″x8″). Volume 6 will be out shortly. Since I was in and out of the hospital for the past three weeks, I wasn’t able to do ARC’s on #5. I will do them on #6. The sign up will appear on the facebook page later this week.


GET THE ARRANGEMENT 5 NOW AT THESE RETAILERS:


       


If you are a new reader, these are novella serials. They were originally written for the die-hard fans that wanted something to read between novel releases. This series exploded and pulled in a lot more people who like the fast and furious format. It also pisses off people who like long, lingering novels. You’ve been warned. :)

DAMAGED (A New Adult Novel) Released Today!

A New Adult Romance Novel by New York Times Bestselling Author H.M. Ward


Life sucks. And, as soon as Sidney picks up the pieces something always knocks her back onto her butt. It’s never pretty, but this time is different. This time pretty isn’t even the right word.


Peter is the personification of perfection. It’s like he fell off his angel perch in purgatory, because let’s face it–any guy that hot has got to be naughty. He was probably sent here to ruin her life.


Peter is beyond beautiful with his sexy blue eyes, dark hair, and toned body. Add in his charming wit and Peter is everything Sidney ever wanted in a man, but when things get hot and heavy Peter shows her the door. Sidney takes the walk of shame and leaves. It’s the end of the worst blind date ever. Her life couldn’t possibly reach higher levels of suckage, but it does.

New Release! SHATTERED – THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT #4 is Out Today!


SHATTERED is out today!


Description:


Volume 4 in the TRYSTAN SCOTT Serials by NY Times Bestselling Author H.M. Ward


After Mari’s attempt to help Trystan goes horribly wrong they are both forced to deal with the consequences.


Genre: New Adult Romance

This story unfolds over multiple volumes approx. 20,000 words each.

~The Arrangement Vol 1, 2, 3 & 4 are on sale now.~


That’s right, people! A one sentence description!


Here is what the fans are saying:


“This volume was just what I expected. FANTASTIC!!!!!! It picks up exactly where the last left off with Mari at Trystan’s door during a violent situation. If you have read the other 3 in the series (which you should before you start this one), you know what to expect and you won’t be disappointed. I cannot wait for the next one to be released.


I am beginning to be glad this is a part of a series. I don’t think I could handle all the intensity in one sitting. I get too caught up in the story and the characters to put it down. Heck, there are times I even forget to breathe as I’m reading. I feel so connected to the characters. It doesn’t seem to matter to me that they are still in high school and I’m waaaay past those drama filled days. I’m addicted. If you haven’t started this series, give it a try. You will not be disappointed.” -Jodie D.


“Shattered is awesome. The perfect title for that insane ending and definitely left me wanting more. Can’t wait to read the fifth novel in this amazing series, as I know H.M. Ward will not disappoint. I hope everyone checks this series out, because I know they will love it as much as I do. Oh and loving the new covers!!!” -Reese’s Reviews

FML is becoming Avery’s motto. Just when she doesn’t think things could get any worse, they do. When her car stalls out at a busy intersection and she gets out to check under the hood, a guy steals her car. Armed with a dress and a pair of Chucks, Avery runs after the thief. When a hot stranger offers to help, she can’t say no. That’s how Avery meets Sean Ferro, the totally sexy, totally damaged guy with more secrets than she has time for.

What fans are saying:


“By far the best installment yet. I truly felt Avery’s pain when she felt rejected by Sean. Although emotional there were parts where I was laughing out loud. You will not be disappointed. So glad there is another installment coming. Can’t wait to see what happens next! Awesome emotional roller coaster! ” -Auna


This series just keeps getting better and better.” -Brittany


“This story has had me hooked from the very start! I love how independent Avery is. I love a strong female that you can root for, someone who has some fire to her. Avery is definitely that girl! Sean shows us a little more this book and we see what happens in the darker side of Ms.Black’s company. She’s definitely not an enemy I’d want! All in all, once again, I have to give this hot, action packed steam fest five stars!” -Littleboysmom


This series has hooked me and reeled me in. I had this volume read the night I received it and read it a second time before I went to bed. After reading this one, I am counting down the days until the next one is released. I was so caught up in the emotions that I was angry, I laughed, and I cried.” -Jodie D.



*****GET READY FOR MORE!*****


Thank you so much to all the awesome fans who love THE ARRANGEMENT series! As requested, volume 4 is NOT the final book in this series. Hooray!  Volume 5 will be out in a few weeks and you’ll get more Sean and Avery, and have the chance to delve deeper into their lives.
