Book Description
The WMBA All-Star shares the inspiring story of her singular life as an athlete and activist in this “searing and ultimately liberating memoir” (New York Times Book Review). Brittney Griner is a once-in-a-generation basketball player. A two-time Olympic gold medalist and a six-time WNBA All-Star, she has been hailed by Sports Illustrated as “the sport’s most transformative figure.” But she is equally famous for speaking out on a range of social issues, as well as for surviving a wrongful detention in Russia that became a geopolitical flashpoint. Now Griner shares her coming-of-age story, revealing how she found her strength to overcome bullies and embrace her authentic self. At 6’8”, with an 88-inch wingspan and a size 17 shoe (men’s), the Phoenix Mercury star has heard every vicious insult in the book, enduring years of taunting that began in middle school and continues to this day. Through the highs and lows, Griner has learned to remain true to herself, rising above the haters trying to take her down. In her heartfelt memoir, she reflects on painful episodes in her life and describes how she came to celebrate what makes her unique—inspiring lessons she now shares. Filled with all the humor and personality Griner has become known for, In My Skin is more than a glimpse into one of the most original personalities in sports; it’s also a powerful call to readers to be true to themselves, to love who they are on the inside and out. With eight pages of photos.

Will this growly protector break her book-loving heart . . . or become her second chance at love? Savanna Vasquez lost her Navy SEAL husband years ago to terrorists, and she doesn't think she's capable of falling in love again. So, she busies herself by running her café and buries her face in the pages of fiction for a romantic escape. But when her late husband's brother finds his way into her life, bringing a world of danger with him, Savanna is protected by a group of tough former Army guys. She feels like she's inside one of her favorite novels, but she's not so sure if her happily-ever-after will be guaranteed, especially when she finds herself alone with one of the dangerously handsome Delta operators. After twenty years of serving his country in the Army, Griffin Andrews now works for an elite security team. When he's sent on a mission to protect a friend of the firm, he never expects to meet a woman who will bring his dead heart back to life. In Griffin's eyes, Savanna's still married, even if only in her heart--which means she's off-limits. Forget the fact she's also his assignment. With her being hunted by an unknown number of threats, he needs to focus on her safety and not the way she feels in his arms. Griffin's resolve begins to slip the more time they spend together and his self-control snaps. The unexplainable connection between them has them both wondering if maybe they were brought together for another reason. And as Griffin does everything in his power to save Savanna, he discovers there's a chance she just might save him too. From Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Brittney Sahin, comes a thrilling new series, full of sizzle and suspense.

Your husband is not the man you thought he was… but how do you move on, when you’re forced to keep his secret? When Jill Goodman’s picture-perfect marriage implodes, she’s heartbroken. Still reeling from the shock, the only thing she receives in the hasty divorce settlement is the deed to her husband’s sprawling beach house on the New Jersey coastline.

With no other choice, Jill travels to the shore intending to sell the house quickly—but the task is not as easy as she expects. Still, she can’t help but be charmed by the beautiful seaside town and its sweetly old-fashioned ways. Despite everything, Jill is starting to see a path back to who she was before she met her husband – not the demure, polished housewife she’d become, but the smiling young woman with the strong Jersey accent who loved her family more than anything. Then Jill dives deeper into Marc’s secrets and she stumbles across a something in her husband’s past that changes everything. Could Jill herself have been unknowingly complicit in what Marc did and, if so, what will happen to her when the truth finally comes to light?

I am so addicted to this series!” ~ Carol Allen, StarAngel’s Reviews “I couldn't finish this series fast enough!! The suspense was so killer. I read the first 3 books in 48 hours...it was that good. This is a must read.” ~ Kay Marle, Goodreads reviewer “I laughed, cried and sat in horror all while reading this...NOW THAT IS A GREAT BOOK! THE SERIES ROCKS! A MUST READ.” ~ Dystopian Doll, Amazon reviewer “I have no idea how Elle Casey does it. Every book is a masterpiece. There's never a slow or dull moment nor is there ever a dip in the plot. Usually in most books there's at least a boring passage or two but Mrs. Casey's books never have a dull moment. She can make a simple conversation between friends just as exciting and fun as a big fight scene. In fact some of my favorite moments in her books are just when her characters are interacting, making fun of each other or just eating lunch. The characters are so real and vivid that I find myself missing them once I've finished a series…” ~ Jamie, Blogger and Goodreads reviewer This series is dedicated to the amazing, wonderful Native Americans who populate our nation, continuing their traditions and reminding the rest of us that sometimes, progress isn’t always the best thing for our people.
