Title: Turning Tables
Author: Alice Takawira
Genre: Women’s Fiction
Release Date: May 5, 2022

Two lovers. Two Continents. Two Cultures. One unforgettable love story.
Maita, a Zimbabwean graduate student, has returned to London on summer break with one goal: to reunite with Ade, her Nigerian ex-boyfriend. She made a terrible mistake when she broke up with Ade—and now she wants him back. On the flight to London, she meets Chris, a British gentleman who is instantly captivated by Maita and pursues her relentlessly.
When Ade rejects Maita’s efforts to rekindle their romance, she turns to Chris. As a couple, Maita and Chris are forced to confront racism, the complexities of an interracial relationship, and their insecurities.
But Maita has never forgotten Ade…nor has he ever gotten over her. Then, in a sudden turn of events, a determined Ade resurfaces and attempts to reconnect with Maita. But Chris is doubly prepared to keep her at any cost, unleashing a dangerous chain of events that will forever alter the course of all three lives.
How far will each man go to win her love?
Turning Tables explores the challenges and triumphs of multicultural and multiracial relationships—a poignant and engaging story of the power of love, missed opportunities, second chances, and the pitfalls of obsession.

BLURB

The second book from the Silverbell Shore world, No Looking Back is a story about starting over and finding love when you least expect it…

Ivy

Fleeing Boston and returning to Silverbell Shore was never part of my plan, neither was becoming a single mom. Unfortunately, I had no choice, I had to make it work. One thing was for certain, I would NEVER trust a man ever again. I had a great job, a lovely home, my Grams and Noah, that was all I needed. Until I met him… and he changed everything.

Eli

I needed a fresh start, away from the betrayal and drama haunting me in Atlanta, and Silverbell Shore seemed like the perfect place. The picture-perfect small town, I felt at home instantly. I was settling into my new job and my life was good, but something was missing. Then I met her… and I knew, she was what I was missing.

Evil lurks in the shadows, watching and waiting for the right time to strike. What do you do when the past comes back to haunt you? Will you stay and fight for the life you never knew you wanted? Or will you run again…no looking back?

Invitation to Hell (Goddess of Death #1)

Publication Date: September 22, 2022 (First Edition)

Genre: Dark Romance/ Dark Fantasy/ Mythology

From the moment I found out there are other realms outside the only one I have ever known; I knew my life would be changed forever…

Demons, magic, Gods… They’re all real.
As it turns out Lucius, King of Tartarus wants to harness my powers for his own.
And if he does, he’ll become an Immortal God, bringing ruin to all six realms.

The best part is… I’m destined to save us all.

But how can I fight an evil that I’ve never even seen?
Because no matter what I do, he always seems to be one step ahead of me.

Asmodeus has been sent to protect me, to train me to use my powers.
So far, the only thing he’s good at doing, is being an arrogant prick and driving me insane.
I’m not sure if I want to throat punch him or kiss him.

Or maybe both.

But he’s my only chance at learning how to control my newly awakened power, save my family, and stop Lucius’s plans before it’s too late.

I just hope the prophecy is right and being the “Destined one” is enough.
Because if it’s wrong… I’ve doomed us all to Hell.

The Last Chorus by Nikki Ashton

A ROCK STAR ROMANCE

**BUY NOW**

http://mybook.to/TheLastChorus

 

BLURB

When the last chorus ends it’s time to sing a new song
Grief: To feel deep, acute sorrow or distress
Time is a great healer they say, whoever the hell they are.
Time hasn’t done me any favours though.
Despite my fame, wealth, Rockstar status I lost it all; my everything. My wife and son are gone leaving me lost in a dark grief that has swallowed me whole.
My family and friends think it’s time I moved on, started to get out of bed and live my life again. I think they need to keep their opinions to themselves.
I’m Beau Bradley, lead singer of Warrior Creek and I’ll decide when I’m ready for life again.

Fear: an unpleasant, often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger
Take deep breaths and appreciate my courage is how to face my fear, they say.
Whoever wrote that has no idea how scary facing my fear is.
As a single mum of a gorgeous, five-year-old boy who doesn’t speak means life can be suffocatingly quiet. Silence follows me everywhere I go. Sometimes it would be nice to have someone to share it all with, to laugh and talk with but I can’t let anyone in.
I’m Simone Addison though and I don’t let anyone close.

Can two strangers sing the final chorus of their past and help each other find a new song to sing? Or will the misery of their mistakes snatch away their chance of happiness before it’s even begun?

The Last Chorus, a story of love in its many guises.

Asking questions is risky business.

Owen Parrish has a lot of growing up to do. As a new homeowner, he has responsibilities that no longer allow him to be scatterbrained and immature. Maybe a roommate who has her life together will be just what he needs to keep him focused.

Veronica Diaz is back in town for law school, and when she helps Owen in exchange for a place to live, she feels like her life is on the right track. She’s driven and passionate and ready for anything life throws at her. Right?

When Owen and Veronica uncover a secret about their house’s former owner, they set off on a path that will teach them that the past never stays buried and that choices can never be undone.

In the end, Owen and Veronica will have to decide if they want to choose each other or risk heading down a path that leaves them with no chance of a future together.

Things don’t usually come to a screeching halt at the RAT, also known as Ridgewood Arts & Technical School, Ridgewood City’s most prestigious progressive institution. But that’s what happens when Headmistress Hardaway
interrupts class and announces, “A scandal has rocked the fundraising committee!” Everyone is a suspect and Hunter Jackson, student council special investigator, vows to root out the student who’s heartless enough to steal donation money. He’s not alone. Ridgewood Roar news editor, Anthony Ravello, and the rogue, indie-press pioneer, Liberty Lennon, plan to do some journalistic digging of their own in a race against each other to scoop the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to their faithful readers…or at least their versions of it. With the truth getting murkier by the day, students at the RAT gobble up news bytes and wash them down with locker-side gossip as they try to unmask the classmate responsible for the missing funds.
