After losing Nate, trusting her heart to love again seems impossible for Ella. In spite of her family’s desire that she move on with her life, it’s the last thing she wants…especially since she has a connection to Nate’s ghost.
Ethan’s resolve…
Ethan knows about grief. Not only does he counsel people suffering from loss, he’s also lost a loved one. When he meets Ella, he makes it his mission to heal her broken heart. With time the boundary between patient and doctor blurs as Ethan finds himself falling in love. Yet he must suppress his feelings for fear of crossing a line that is based on trust.

An unbreakable bond…
When Ella becomes increasingly reckless and sets off on a dangerous journey into the rugged wilderness, it’s up to both Nate and Ethan to find her. One man represents her past and one her future. One will use his marine training and the other his knowledge of psychology to keep Ella safe and help her…Trust.

Cambria Hebert Readies “Distant Desires”
Author Cambria Hebert will launch “Distant Desires” on June 14th, a story that she refers to as “an erotic tale from beyond the stars.”
Sophie Perez has never believed the stuff she reads online about possible life in space. Aliens are for the movies, for the weirdoes, and they most definitely are not real.
One night on the way home from a late shift at work, her car breaks down. Stranded on the side of a country road, with a dead cell phone, doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.
Until strange neon lights appear in the sky. She thinks it is her imagination.
When an inexplicable circular ship appears overhead, she can’t deny what’s clearly right in front of her. Especially when moments later, she’s taken onto the ship, a human hostage among those who are most definitely not human.
About to become a human guinea pig, possibly worse, the last thing she ever expects is to like the things these otherworldly beings subject her to. In fact, it is unlike anything she’s ever experienced.
Will Sophie find her way back to her planet, or will she beg to stay where her pleasure is literally out of this world?

“Tryst” by Cambria Hebert Debuts
Cambria Hebert’s latest novel, “Tryst,” debuted today and I can’t wait to dive into it.
Sometimes all a girl needs is a little fling…
Talie Ronson needs a vacation. From life.
Since she caught her cheating, loser husband in bed with his assistant, her life has been on a steady spiral—right into hell. Her car’s a junker, her job sucks, and her perfect, gorgeous sister likes to brag about her wonderful life every time they “do” lunch.
In an effort to salvage what’s left of her life and her sanity, she takes the advice of her kooky best friend and takes off to Topsail Island. A week at the beach, alone, is exactly what she needs to recharge, regroup, and relax. Only, her alone time is about to get derailed.
Gavin Palmer’s favorite activity is walking around in his boxers and eating junk food. He and his neighbors have an understanding. They stay out of his business and he stays out of theirs. He lives at the beach, not for vacation, but for isolation. He’s had enough of people to last him a lifetime.
Gavin’s isolation is interrupted when his normally quiet neighbor starts disturbing his peace. He stomps across the sand to give the guy a piece of his mind… only it isn’t a guy. It’s Talie.
She’d maddening, nosy, and talks too much. But she’s hot and her bedroom eyes have him thinking maybe he’s had enough solitude. Maybe a week of company is exactly what he needs.
Maybe what they both need is a no-strings-attached tryst.
Purchase your copy on Amazon.

Nely Cab’s “Fruit of Misfortune”
Author Nely Cab is releasing, “Fruit of Misfortune,” her latest YA fantasy/paranormal novel on May 1.
Isis and her boyfriend, David, are on the brink of a horrible transformation and they are eager to stop it. Together, they set out on a quest to Greece to find Isis’ biological father—the only person that may be able to help them. Their journey comes to an abrupt stop before it even begins when Isis falls ill, and Eros, David’s best friend, arrives in Athens, unannounced and curious…with a plan of his own.
The hunt for her father leads Isis on the turbulent path of deceit, death, and demons as she anticipates the dawning of the beast that stirs inside her.
Read on for an excerpt of “Fruit of Misfortune”…
I opened my mouth to deny it, but closed it just as fast, knowing there was no sense in arguing. Nyx could sense these things. I lowered my head, my cheeks on fire from embarrassment. She knew that she was right, and so did I.
“I’m not judging or reproaching you, Isis.” Nyx’s porcelain face rested on her fist.
“I haven’t admitted to anything.”
Her lips lifted at the corners with a confidence I had come to relate with deities. “Nor have you denied it.”
That was the end of my defense. A crow cawed, hiding some-
where in the tree branches—mocking me, no less. I traced the white, scrolled, metal arm on the patio chair, busying my hand to keep from biting what was left of my nails.
“Does it make you uncomfortable that I know this much?”
“It has since I met you.”
“Oh.” Nyx looked surprised. “I’m sorry you feel that way. I don’t know the limit on how intimate mother and daughter-in-law talks should be.”
Daughter-in-law? That word was too awkward to use in this conversation. I felt like an ant under a magnifying glass, churning under the intensity of the rays of commitment.
“I won’t dwell on it anymore, and you can rest assured that I won’t tell.”
“What are you two gossiping about?” A voice came from behind me.
David’s hand landed on my shoulder and I tensed. His lips touched the side of my forehead for a moment.
“Girl talk,” Nyx said. “You should know better than to ask.”

Greek Yogurt Coated Chicken
You’re thinking another chicken recipe? Not another. But this one using Greek yogurt, mustard and garlic is so good as well as easy, and get this…it’s healthy too.
Today, a heat wave struck Los Angeles and I didn’t want to spend a long time cooking, nor did I want to turn on my oven. I looked for ingredients that could be made simply and that I already had in the refrigerator. Best of all, this dish made my mouth happy and it didn’t taste like everyday chicken. Try it and let me know what you think.
Combine the following:
1 cup of plain Greek yogurt
2 T. dijon mustard — or if you can find it, dijon garlic mustard
2 tsp. crushed garlic
Dip the chicken (I used skinless boneless breasts) into the mixture ensuring that you get a healthy coating. Then, dip into flour. Saute in a generous portion of olive oil on medium heat until a crust forms. Turn over and continue to saute over medium heat for another two minutes. Then, turn heat to low and cover for about three minutes or until done.
The greens in this picture are a combination of shredded brussel sprouts and kale. I saute them in olive oil with a little salt, covered until tender. With a side of sliced mango, you’ve got a food network worthy plate. Enjoy!

About Laura:
Laura Howard lives in New Hampshire with her husband and four children. Her obsession with books began at the age of 6 when she got her first library card. Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and other girly novels were routinely devoured in single sittings. Books took a backseat to diapers when she had her first child. It wasn’t until the release of a little novel called Twilight, 8 years later, that she rediscovered her love of fiction. Soon after, her own characters began to make themselves known.

Author Tarryn Fisher Challenges Readers
Author Tarryn Fishser admits that her latest novel, “Mud Vein,” doesn’t come with much of a description. Along with the very brief synopsis on Amazon, Fisher writes her own challenge to readers…read this story blind and then write her with an interpretation.
With 112 five-star reviews to date, I’m definitely up for the challenge.
Here’s what we do know:
When reclusive novelist Senna Richards wakes up on her thirty-third birthday, everything has changed. Caged behind an electrical fence, locked in a house in the middle of the snow, Senna is left to decode the clues to find out why she was taken. If she wants her freedom, she has to take a close look at her past. But, her past has a heartbeat…and her kidnapper is nowhere to be found. With her survival hanging by a thread, Senna soon realizes this is a game. A dangerous one. Only the truth can set her free.
Hats off to Tarryn for trying something new.
