Dying screams and the ring of gunshots still haunt his dreams, and to make matters worse, five years hasn’t erased his passion for Jessica Connor. She left him bleeding on the cold concrete floor, escaping the prison that held her for close to a year. Semi-conscious and close to death, his gaze fell on an apparition of her son.

Haunting visions of her daughter’s death drive him out of hiding, and he shows up at her doorstep with the intent of giving her the power to save her cancerous daughter. The power he safeguarded all these years. But his good intentions fall short when they realize he led the vengeful spirit of his stepbrother straight to her. Cancer is no longer their biggest worry. Now, Chris and Jessica must battle a ghost hell-bent on destroying all of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can fire and ice both survive? Fire and ice have nothing on Angela Holguín and fellow MBA student Soren Lund. When they first met at school in the exciting seaside city of Barcelona, Angela was intrigued by the aloof Dane; he was enthralled by the vivacious Californian. But their timing was off and they went their separate ways - until Fate and Destiny put them back in the same city: London. In the British capital, Angela and Soren not only reunite, their desire reignites. This time they are determined not to let love slip through their fingers. They tumble into each other's arms and embark upon a passionate journey that takes them from the chic, bustling streets of London to the romantic, historic byways of Bath and back again. It is there, at their final destination, that Angela and Soren must face reality. While opposites attract, they might not be able to coexist. In the next three days, they will have to decide if what they have is truly love or simply the beckoning of desire. BECKONED: slow burn, second-chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Jane Austen. Over 300 reviews with 4.4+star average! Part 2 of a complete, 6-part series. "Aviva Vaughn's debut will sweep you off your feet. BECKONED is a vibrant, sensual story about longing and second chances. Get ready to fall in love." -Mia Hopkins, Award-Winning Author of Thirsty; voted one of the five best romances of 2018 by the Washington Post. "After reading book one I was excited to read this book and I can say I was definitely not disappointed. The writing style made me feel like I was experiencing those emotions with them. The more I read the more I found myself hoping that they could find a way to make things work, the more invested I became. The whole story was engaging and well written. A brilliant follow up to book one. I cannot wait to read the next book in this amazing series." ~Kerry, 5-star review "So I am slightly infatuated with the writing style of Aviva Vaughn. She was new to me when I first read Part 1 of this series, but I connected with her writing style right away, and this book doesn't come up short in the slightest. Aviva Vaughn writes in a fan-fiction sense of Jane Austen. HOW COULD ONE NOT LOVE IT!?!?! This alone had me hooked, leading to intense and complicated characters with realistic situations and personalities." ~Liz, 5-star review "Aviva Vaughn continues to enthrall me with her writing in this series. The scenic details and flowing storyline, hooks you from the beginning and will make you want more at the end. Luckily, there is book 3. I can't wait to continue reading the series and see if there is a HEA for Angela." ~Lisette, 5-star review "Wow. Aviva Vaughn has done it again! "Beckoned, Part 2: From Bath With Love" gives the reader a beautiful image of bustling London life contrasted wonderfully with the lazy pace of Bath. As a lover of Jane Austen books, this series has been such a treat with Angela's love of travel, books and all things Austen! FIVE STARS!!!" ~Emily, 5-star review "This series has absolutely captured me, personally I love a good cliffhanger and this book contains a brilliant one, I have fallen head over heels for each character and their personalities, so after reading book 1 I could not wait to be sucked in to this book as it continues with the story of passion,love, and travel some of my favourite story baselines. I will definitely be following and looking out for other books/series from this author as her writing and descriptions are beautifully written." ~Claire, 5-star review "Beckoned, Part 2: From Bath with Love by Aviva Vaughn was as good as the first book. I couldn't put it down and read it immediately after the first book. I love how the author makes you feel like you are a part of the story. I can't wait to read book 3 and would read anything this author writes! I love the characters and the writing. I give this book 5 stars." ~Amanda, 5-star review "After finished and loving part 1 in this series I could not wait to start the second book and I was not disappointed at all! As this starts where book 1 finished it should definitely be read after it. I cannot wait to read part 3 especially after being left on a cliff-hanger with this book!!" ~Katie, 5-star review "Another great book written by Aviva Vaughn, that you will not be able to put down. Including me, that I read it in one sitting. Ms. Vaughn's writing flows and is so descriptive. She makes you feel like you are there with her characters. She takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride that has many twists and turns. I cannot wait to read Part 3 in the Beckoned Series, I know it will be just as good." ~Dori, 5-star review "Angela and Soren's story continues in this second part of the series. I really enjoy Aviva Vaughn's writing style. It is conversational and easy. The plot flows effortlessly. The characters are real and flawed. I felt like I was walking the streets of Bath with them. Continue to love this series and looking forward to book 3!" ~Heather, 5-star review "This is a series that I am so happy I started reading. I found myself lost in its pages and not wanting to put it down until I had finished. I can't wait to read the next book in the series." ~Laura, 5-star review -------------------------- Dearest Reader, I wrote BECKONED for many reasons, but first and foremost, I wrote it to feature the kind of people I know: diverse, smart, complicated men and women. My heroines are strong and educated, and my heroes are polite and respectful. As an avid reader, I wanted to see characters that looked like me and my friends and reflect the world I want to see. I also wanted to write a beautiful book. I consider BECKONED to be a modern story told in an old-fashion way with lots of metaphors and beautiful phrases, and where the sex is explicit but also elegant. So if you are a Word Nerd like me, then you will love BECKONED! If you choose to embark on this journey with me, you--and your taste buds--will get to visit London, Barcelona, Bath, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Costa Rica, New Zealand, and Copenhagen. It will be a fun--and delicious--ride! There are even recipes in some of the books as well as soundtracks to give you a multi-sensory experience. BECKONED is a single story in six parts and should be read in order. The intimacy is steamy, but it is slooooooow burn and is distributed throughout the books because of how the couples' relationships change and deepen. Birthing BECKONED has truly been a labor of love, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! BUCKLE UP and enjoy the journey. Wishing you love and romance, ~Aviva

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four-year-old girls dream of dolls, ice cream, and fun—but not four-year-old Joan Kelleher. Her only wish is to be with her family again. She longs for her mother’s embrace and enough food to eat and safety from the horrors of World War II. Torn from her home and placed with foster families forced to take in a child they do not want, is only the beginning of Joan’s struggle for survival. With unwavering hope in her heart for a reunion with her family, Joan recalls the five years she endured in the homes of strangers, battling abuse, cold dark rooms . . . and indifference, while sirens screamed and planes flew overhead. Creating a fantastical world of make-believe where she's reunited with her family is the only joy she finds. The reunion five years later isn't the joyful celebration Joan imagined. Her family is just as broken as the war-torn buildings surrounding them. They are a family of strangers. But within Joan, there remains that same unfaltering hope and optimism, just waiting to be fulfilled. When the Bough Breaks is a heartfelt memoir, encompassing the courage and strength that one young girl possesses in a time when everything seems shattered and lost.

Book excerpt: Called “powerful and provocative" by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the New York Times bestselling How to be an Antiracist, this explosive book of history and cultural criticism reveals how white feminism has been used as a weapon of white supremacy and patriarchy deployed against Black and Indigenous women, and women of color. Taking us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep “ownership” of their slaves, through the centuries of colonialism, when they offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, White Tears/Brown Scars tells a charged story of white women’s active participation in campaigns of oppression. It offers a long overdue validation of the experiences of women of color. Discussing subjects as varied as The Hunger Games, Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez, the viral BBQ Becky video, and 19th century lynchings of Mexicans in the American Southwest, Ruby Hamad undertakes a new investigation of gender and race. She shows how the division between innocent white women and racialized, sexualized women of color was created, and why this division is crucial to confront. Along the way, there are revelatory responses to questions like: Why are white men not troubled by sexual assault on women? (See Christine Blasey Ford.) With rigor and precision, Hamad builds a powerful argument about the legacy of white superiority that we are socialized within, a reality that we must apprehend in order to fight. "A stunning and thorough look at White womanhood that should be required reading for anyone who claims to be an intersectional feminist. Hamad’s controlled urgency makes the book an illuminating and poignant read. Hamad is a purveyor of such bold thinking, the only question is, are we ready to listen?" —Rosa Boshier, The Washington Post

The wise will listen.” —Stephen Coonts From New York Times bestselling author, William R. Forstchen: In the span of a single second, the United States is plunged into darkness as an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) wipes out all electricity. Trains, planes, cars, phones, computers, power plants, electronics and electrical equipment—all comes to a screeching halt. The country is in chaos, and everyone wants to know why. Whatever the cause, looting, food riots, and global insurrection are the order of the day. The New Dark Ages are suddenly upon us in this series exploring the potential aftermath of a very real threat. One Second After — In the novel that was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, professor John Matherson struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina mountain town after America loses a war in one second, a war that will send the country back to the Dark Ages. One Year After — Two years after nuclear weapons were detonated above the United States and brought America to its knees, the survivors of Black Mountain, North Carolina, are beginning to recover technology and supplies they had once taken for granted, like electricity, radio communications, and medications. When a “federal administrator” arrives in a nearby city, they dare to hope that a national government is finally reemerging. But the new regime is beginning to look a lot like tyranny. The Final Day — Since the detonation of nuclear weapons above the United States more than two years ago, the small town of Black Mountain, North Carolina has suffered famine, civil war, and countless deaths. Now, after defeating a new, tyrannical federal government, John Matherson and his community intend to restore their world to what it was before the EMP apocalypse. For the most part, they are succeeding . . . but progress is halted when the national government overturns the Constitution and a terrible truth is revealed: the people in power may have seen the EMP strike coming all along.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a talented emerging Australian writer, a brave, honest, unforgettable memoir about mental illness that breaks the silence and shatters the taboos to give hope to all those struggling to find their way through. 'When I was eleven years old Mum told me, "One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name." Even before I heard these words I was always a child who crammed intense joy into tiny pockets of time.' One day Sophie Hardcastle realised the joy she'd always known had disappeared. She was constantly tired, with no energy, no motivation and no sense of enjoyment for surfing, friends, conversations, movies, parties, family - for anything. Her hours became empty. And then, the month before she turned seventeen, that emptiness filled with an intense, unbearable sadness that made her scream and tear at her skin. Misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue, then major depression, then temporal lobe epilepsy, she was finally told - three years, two suicide attempts and five hospital admissions later - that she had Bipolar 1 Disorder. In this honest and beautifully told memoir, Sophie lays bare her story of mental illness - of a teenage girl using drugs, alcohol and sex in an attempt to fix herself; of her family's anguish and her loss of self. It is a brave and hopeful story of adaptation, learning to accept and of ultimately realising that no matter how deep you have sunk, the surface is always within reach. Running Like China shatters the silence and smashes the taboos around mental illness. It is an unforgettable story.
