Heroics is not Parnell's thing, but Rebecca Hollis has other ideas--lots of them! One of which is bound to work… She hopes. She'll do whatever is necessary to insure the survival and rescue of the orphans. 

Don’t miss this compelling, heartwarming story of survival and love by bestselling author Jackie Weger.

NICE GIRL TO LOVE by @VioletDukeBooks, Contemporary Romance #GreatBookDeal

Nice Girl to Love
Violet Duke

THE ONE SHE NEVER THOUGHT SHE COULD KEEP...

Abby Bartlett is the quintessential nice girl. Between teaching, volunteering, completing her PhD, and helping her best friend raise his daughter, Abby never gets the chance to be anything but nice. That is, until the all-wrong-for-her man she's only ever known from afar starts daring her to simply take that chance for herself. His sage advice? Try something wild and fast. Preferably him.

An unbridled, hotshot attorney with a not-so-little black book, Connor Sullivan has earned himself quite the bad boy reputation. But in his defense, he's a very conscientious one. He knows far too well that sometimes in life, love isn't enough...or worse, not even a factor at all. To avoid that misery--and repel the drama--Connor has a firm 'nothing over a month' rule. Who knew a nice girl would be the one to make him want to break all his rules?


THE ONE SHE NEVER HOPED SHE COULD HAVE...

Abby is well aware that everyone thinks she's in love with her best friend Brian. He is, after all, the type of man a nice girl should be with--the polar opposite of the bad boy--the kind of guy who didn't let his wife's decade-long illness stop him from showering her with a lifetime of love every second until her dying day. But everyone's wrong; she couldn't possibly be in love with him. Because she's never once allowed herself that option.

It's taken a while but Brian has finally come to terms with surviving the woman he spent half his life loving, a third of it losing. Truth is though, he wouldn't have 'survived' any of it really had it not been for Abby--sweet, incredible Abby--the woman he's never once had to picture his life without, never realized he couldn't truly live without. Until now. Now that he's finally able to love her the way she deserves, the way he knows she wants to be loved...by his brother. Who's giving him exactly one chance to speak now or forever hold his peace.


A DECISION SHE NEVER DREAMED SHE'D HAVE TO MAKE...

And now it's up to Abby to decide between the bad boy wanting to start a life with her and the good guy fighting for the life they've already built.

With 87 reviews with almost a perfect five-star average and always priced 'less than a latte', you don’t want to miss this international bestselling series three-book boxed set.

#GreatBookDeal: RIPPLE, A Tale of Hope and Redemption @RunningfromHell #Abuse #Healing

Ripple, A Tale of Hope and Redemption
E.L. Farris 

When high-powered attorney Helen Thompson discovers that her fifteen-year old daughter has been sexually assaulted, she takes drastic measures.

Finding herself in trouble, Helen must relinquish control and put her faith in a process she knows to be flawed. As a team of lawyers, therapists and women from a safe house help Helen and Phoebe find hope and healing, a sociopath lurks, waiting for his moment to strike.

A lyrical, dark fairytale that will resonate with fans of women's literature and psychological thrillers, RIPPLE delves into the nature of evil, without seeking to provide final answers to the issue of what makes a human commit evil acts. And while the author takes readers to scary places, she ultimately shines a light on the human condition and celebrates the triumph of the human spirit in the face of great tribulation.

With 62 reviews averaging five-stars and always priced 'less than a latte', this is an incredible deal for this intense, emotional drama of sexual abuse and healing.

Readers have eclectic and great book ideas. Express yours for a chance at a $25 Amazon Gift Card!




Since I love to hear what readers want, and I write faster with a prompt... I had an idea for a giveaway. 

I’m one of those writers who can take one line from a song and build an entire story around it, but I’ll stare at a blank page for hours if I have to come up with an idea for a blog post. Hence this post… I’m fishing. :)

I am in the process of writing another short story to continue my mini-mystery series, and since my first collaboration, The Pit Stop, went so well, here is your mission should you choose to accept it.

And I’m even going to give out prizes. Yay!

First part of mission: Read The Depot—if you haven’t already—so you know who my leading man Mark Waters is. No worries…I’m not asking you to buy anything; it’s free in all formats. I’ll list them at the bottom of this post.

Second part of mission: How do you want his story to continue?

Here are some ideas to give you your writing prompt:


  • Does he get, keep, lose, or break up with the girl? Mark is a police detective, and it’s not always easy for a cop to stay in a relationship, so I’m going to leave that up to you.

  • He’ll be investigating something paranormal again, of course, so where would you like it to occur?

  • Heard of any good haunts? Leave me a link to a beautiful haunt you’d like to see come to life in a story. A hotel, a Bed & Breakfast, a Cruise Ship??? Getting the idea?

Now for the prizes!!!

First prize: I will randomly select five winners for a free copy of any of my novels, whether I use your idea or not. If you’ve read them all, no problem, my new one will be out soon. :)

Second prize: Everyone who participates will be entered into a raffle for a $25 Amazon gift card.

In addition to prizes one and two, the person or persons whose ideas I use will get credit on the first page of the published book with a link to their website (if they have one and want credit, that is).

That’s it! Wanna play?
You have until April 30th to read and submit your ideas.
Don't worry, though, it only takes an hour to read.

Download The Depot:


How to contact me with your ideas:

Email me: Carmen @ Carmen DeSousa dot com (You know how that works, right?)

Or, send me a Facebook message. My page is open to all.

Also, you can always send me a message on Goodreads.
