Book Description
In Sidney St. James newest novel, you might say it was time to put the relationship of the characters down as… 'it's complicated.' Many people say that love comes in many shapes and sizes. Love in this Young Adult Romance is no exception. This beloved genre has today gotten a reputation for a certain messy shape… the love triangle. Take our characters in LET ME DRIVE. Claire Banning loves Billy Joe Briscoe. Sammy Pryor, the best friend of Billy Briscoe, loves Claire Banning. Billy Joe Briscoe loves Jennifer Welch, a star actress on stage at the Paramount Theater on Congress Avenue in downtown Austin, Texas. The problem continues when Jennifer Welch falls in love with Matt Jenkins, and Claire Banning hates Jennifer Welch. Our story will demonstrate that love is complicated, and what's even more complex is falling in love with someone who is already in love with someone else, leaving the characters in a fix. Just when we thought how messy a love triangle can get, it becomes even far more complex and gets, even more, messier when there's a fifth entrant to the equation, Randy Keller. Falling heads over heels into a love triangle can be a noticeable indicator of a complicated romance. Some of our characters get into one while some unknowingly find themselves involved in one. Has all of this explained why we say that the relationships of all of our characters are complicated… almost from the very beginning? There's a fine line drawn in the dirt between love and hate. Beware of the literary whiplash. By the time you have read to the end of this young adult romance, you will see that competition and desire are a dangerous, deliciously entertaining mix. The setting for this story occupies a time in the early 1960s in Austin, Texas. Claire Banning explains her love situation best, saying, "You can't decide how much you love people. It just happens." What she tries to find out is that even when the mind forgets, the heart remembers. Many love triangle stories made it to the silver screen. Some are Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman and Peter Gallagher in "While You Were Sleeping" made in 1995. Another is "The Apartment" made in 1965 starring Shirley MacLaine, Jack Lemmon, and Fred MacMurray. Oh, and yes, let's not forget "Titanic" made in 1997 starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and Billy Zane. Oh, I can go on and on… Simply said, there's a place in Romance genres for romances and love triangles. "LET ME DRIVE" might stand the test of time as it will keep you guessing to the very last ten pages 'what boy gets the girl.'

Book Description
TEARS ARE WORDS FROM THE HEART has a setting in Austin, Texas in 1960. One would have to caution our lovers that romance can't be found in a store. Whatever is in Capital Plaza isn't what they were looking for. Passion is fueled by self-love and would be dealt a mortal blow by selfishness. Romance is when they get totally lost in a moment with each other… a moment made sacred for just the two of them. Their romantic bond is from one heart to another, one mind to another and definitely one soul to another! So, when our characters feel romance for real, they should treasure it always, the right way, as something special between just the two of them. The true love our characters in this novel mutually felt is wealth money can't buy. There's a primary reason why Eros, that mischievous God, was believed by Greek Mythology to be the brother of Chaos. The ancient mythologists understood the power of all forms of love. Erotic desire is fierce and wild! When friendships like that of Grayson Schiff and Kaytlyn Robertson become both familial and wild, we have a dangerous animal on the loose. The object of their desire should not be with each other, but it was. Did Grayson want to be more than just friends? Was he only infatuated by the beauty of Kaytlyn who was engaged to Landon Hartstein? As friends, they stand side by side, not looking deeply into each other's eyes, only outward to shared interests. This boundary established between them was one they each wanted to cross, but unknown circumstances prevented them from doing so. Like many friends who are smitten, they each mistake these signals and fall into erotic patterns that nearly end their friendship forever. When Grayson focused his love craving at his new-found friend, he threatened the integrity of their friendship and entered into a dangerous liaison. Grayson fell in love the night he first met Kaytlyn. She was cold and wet, her hair matted and had thoughts of ending it all. Her plunge from the bridge almost happened, but he saved her in the nick of time. Their attraction to each other was palpable, intense, and circumscribed by their commitments to other people. Hers with Landon Hartstein and his with Abigail McCarthy. The absence of sex only made the heat stronger between the two. Their romantic bond is from one heart to another, one mind to another, and one soul to another. Finally, when two people feel the romance is real, they will treasure it always, the right way, as something special between only the two of them. But, the question to ask is, "Which two?"

Book Description
WHAT IS TRUE LOVE? "True love is not necessary the number of kisses, or how frequently one gets them, TRUE LOVE is the feeling that still remains long after the kiss is over." Crux Ansata – The Lost City of Ankara is a gothic-fantasy novel that follows as a sequel to Nevaeh – The Lost City of Nemea from the Caves of Chivateros in Peru. It is Book Three in the Omega Chronicles. Freja Jensen, contemplating retiring from BeeBop Publishing Group in Austin, Texas, received a brown paper parcel in the mail. She opened the package and saw that it was from Lucas Hansen, or his pen name, Lucas Pedersen. With the letter was a manuscript. Another letter received was from a doctor who asked to remain anonymous. Included in a small teakwood box was an ancient sistrum, an Egyptian musical instrument with magical powers, and had the etching of an ankh on top. In this sequel to Nevaeh – The Lost City of Nemea, a twenty-year search begins by Lucas and Oliver Hansen to try and find Oliver's lost True Love. You might ask, "What is true love? No one can really define what it is. Thousands upon thousands of people will have an answer. Many answers will point to a feeling they experience, but never has the Truth been more known until one reads the dramatic conclusion in this sequel, CRUX ANSATA. In the case of Oliver Hansen, also known as the Golden One, his love, unlike feelings, doesn't come and go. It stays with him for over twenty years as he searches for that one true love, the Goddess Nevaeh. He explores through the good and the bad… and when we say bad, we mean really bad! As long as Oliver searches for the Truth, he holds on to his love for Nevaeh. Romance is not the only thing that holds two people in love together. True love doesn't just happen. One must be careful, as shown by Oliver's father, Lucas Hansen when he confuses infatuation for true love. True love occurs when time has passed. In our case, over twenty years. But, when Oliver sees both the good and the bad parts of the one he loves, will he remain faithful to his path in life… to a chance for finding real and everlasting love. Remember, True Love is not a feeling one experiences, but a decision one makes. This takes time and genuine commitment. Oliver must choose in this dramatic conclusion in this sequel. How will he choose? Will he choose the priestess he ran away with over 2,000 years earlier? Or, will he choose another? It's something to think about as one reads the dramatic conclusion to Oliver's search for True Love as he falls to his knees and says, "I love you like you are the last of my kind. To be around you after so many years is like finally not being alone. It is as if all my life has been isolated, in a room without windows or a room without a door… and then you suddenly walk in as if strolling over a springtime meadow. So, why I can still have a breath, I'm yours in mind, body, and soul throughout all eternity." "And you descended the glacier's steep stairwell to depths, not knowing what laid beneath that fearful path. All these dangers you faced on your own choice… your choice of True Love… your true and faithful devotion to me, my Oliver. Do you finally understand at last?"

Book Description
In Dust and Shadow Sherlock Holmes hunts down Jack the Ripper with impeccably accurate historical detail, rooting the Whitechapel investigation in the fledgling days of tabloid journalism and clinical psychology. This astonishing debut explores the terrifying prospect of hunting down one of the world's first serial killers without the advantage of modern forensics or profiling. Sherlock's desire to stop the killer who is terrifying the East End of London is unwavering from the start, and in an effort to do so he hires an "unfortuate" known as Mary Ann Monk, the friend of a fellow streetwalker who was one of the Ripper's earliest victims. However, when Holmes himself is wounded in Whitechapel attempting to catch the villain, and a series of articles in the popular press question his role in the crimes, he must use all his resources in a desperate race to find the man known as "The Knife" before it is too late. Penned as a pastiche by the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson, Dust and Shadow recalls the ideals evinced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most beloved and world-renowned characters, while testing the limits of their strength in a fight to protect the women of London, Scotland Yard, and the peace of the city itself.

Book Description
When seven murder victims are found in a small town, the homicide investigation shakes a small-town sheriff to her core in James Patterson's tense thriller. Once a luxurious southern getaway on a rustic lake, then reduced to a dilapidated crash pad, the Summer House is now the grisly scene of a nighttime mass murder. Eyewitnesses point to four Army Rangers—known as the Night Ninjas—recently returned from Afghanistan. To ensure that justice is done, the Army sends Major Jeremiah Cook, a veteran and former NYPD cop, to investigate. But the major and his elite team arrive in sweltering Georgia with no idea their grim jobs will be made exponentially more challenging by local law enforcement, who resists the Army's intrusion and stonewall them at every turn. As Cook and his squad struggle to uncover the truth behind the condemning evidence, the pieces just won't fit—and forces are rallying to make certain damning secrets die alongside the victims in the murder house. With his own people in the cross-hairs, Cook takes a desperate gamble to find answers—even if it means returning to a hell of his own worst nightmares . . .

Including additional scavenger hunts for the reader, this clever murder mystery is the perfect gift for fans of classic mysteries, festive Christmas books, and armchair detective work.

Book Description
Philo Vance, the snobbish art collector who happens to be the longtime friend of District Attorney John Markham, once more finds himself drawn into a criminal investigation. Margaret Odell, the beautiful and talented theatrical singer nicknamed “The Canary,” has been strangled during the night, and from the very beginning there are signs that nothing in the case is quite what it appears to be. Accompanied once more by Sergeant Heath, the unlikely trio struggle to make sense of the evidence. S. S. Van Dine found even more success with this novel, his sophomore outing as a mystery writer. Spending months on the bestseller lists, it was also the first of his books to be made into a movie, with William Powell starring as Philo Vance. At a time when a majority of successful mystery writers were English, Van Dine’s novels evoked an atmosphere that was distinctly American, with Vance’s cultured perspective colliding with Markham’s pragmatic sensibilities and Heath’s no-nonsense street smarts. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
