Equivalent Exchange
Summary
Keris Bradford is a woman on the brink. Of what? She doesnt quite know. Her life is shifting, rapidly, and the sudden, captivating intrusion of Laken Kimble isnt exactly...reassuring. For Keris, Laken is comfort and risk wrapped in one very appealing package. For Laken, Keris is barrier and providence all at once. For both, there arises a need to navigate those contrasts to a conclusion neither was looking for...a need to answer a simple question. If you want this...what are you willing to offer in exchange?

My Muted Love
Summary
Never judge a book by its cover. One of the worlds most common clichés. Though sage advice, the age-old aphorism is rarely followed. Take Tori McNabb and Ashton Spencer for instance, who, based on appearances, believe they have no reason to breathe the same air. But when startling circumstances align their paths on the campus of Blakewood State University, the two have no choice but to look beyond their exteriors. McNabb is a fighter in life as well as in the ring. She knows what shes capable of...and she doesnt want to be tested. Her only goal is to never return to Millville, New Jersey; she just wants to fly under the radar on the BSU campus. Spencer, the most popular athlete on campus, is well on his way to success as a professional athlete. He is confident that the stars are aligned in his favor. But being tested by the underdog is something he though he'd never fail at. Join this unlikely pair on a journey inside the pages of their ugly covers. This book contains some profanity and sexually explicit content. It is intended for mature listeners.

The Lies We Tell About Life, Love, and Everything in Between
Summary
Sometimes, the worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves. They build and build into a façade of transparency and false truth that we present to the world...until it comes crashing down because of that one person who sees right into you. Just one more time. Its not even like that. Im not tripping about it. Im fine. Really. Growth and forgiveness. Maturity and grace. Moving on and moving forward. All come into play when something that was supposed to be a one-time indulgence becomes something more - something almost destroyed by lies they never told each other.

His Side, Her Side, and the Truth About Falling in Love

Theres no such thing as a right time to fall in love. It happens, or it doesnt. Possible to fake, but not force. Impossible to simply wish away. This is the path that Rob and Iris find themselves on. Hes adjusting to cross-country move, a new job, and an existence that doesnt include the woman he thought hed spend his life with. Shes overburdened by her family, learning the beauty of loneliness, and just trying to...breathe. Neither of them quite ready to entertain the idea of dating, let alone love, but they cant seem to avoid each other. He calls it fate. She calls it crazy. Maybe, neither of them is wrong.
