New Releases
THE CHRISTMAS SWINDLE (A Better Late Romance)
By Kristy Tate
Aspiring author Lauren Hallstrom has one objective: destroy the publishing house that scammed her out of her money and her dreams. Unfortunately, an aggressive poodle gets in her way, and sends her scrambling for refuge on the sports car parked beside the cutest guy she’s ever encountered.
From the moment nerdy scientist Ron Walsh spots Lauren sprawled on top of his brother-in-law’s vintage T-Bird, he knows she’s the girl for him. Too bad his unruly canine injured Lauren’s pride, and, even worse, his mom is the cause of Lauren’s financial crisis.
Ron sets out to right his mother’s wrongs, tame the poodle, and win Lauren’s heart, but he needs more than his billions of dollars—he needs a Christmas miracle.
This holiday romance was released by Eclectic Books on December 2, 2020.
CODE ATLANTIS (Wisdom’s Quest Book 3)
It was the trip of a lifetime. Ella had always dreamt of seeing Egypt, of working alongside real archeologists, but when she arrived, she got more than she bargained for. Ella never thought she was anything more than a regular girl, but in Egypt she learns that she has a sister and brother, products of an affair her father had when she was just a baby. Ella and her sister are targeted in Egypt by high ranking officials of a mystery school. Both girls are declared leaders of the ancient mystery school, heirs to the highest post in the organization, one that has endured for ten thousand years. Will Ella escape her new title? Shun her pursuers? Will she make it back home, or will she die in a foreign land, away from all that she knows?
This young-adult fantasy was released by Kreative Outlets on November 11, 2020.
