A romance so sweet it’ll give you a cavity…

After the devastating loss of my parents when I was in college, I vowed to focus all my energy on fulfilling my promise to my mom: to open up the hot chocolate store we’d always dreamed of running together. 

No distractions. My plans are set.

But things heat up faster than I can handle when a bronzed lifeguard pursues me in the most delicious of ways. Mix in a stalker determined to throw me off my game, and a comical, ass-kicking Beach Squad (okay, ‘squad’ is a littler over the top…it’s just me and my two best friends)…well, then you have a situation that requires a level of bravery I don’t know if I possess.

I may appear to be a damsel in distress, but I can save my own damn self, thank you very much. And I might just keep that hottie lifeguard as the whipped cream on top of my sweet dreams.

***Warning: this book contains references to sexual assault. 18+ strong adult content. Oh, and cursing. Let’s not forget the cursing.***

Marika Ray spends her time behind a computer crafting stories, walking the beaches of southern California scoping out the lifeguards, and making healthy food for her kids and husband whether they like it or not. Prior to writing novels, Marika held various jobs in the finance industry, with private start-up companies, and then in health & fitness. Cats may have nine lives, but Marika believes everyone should have nine careers to keep things spicy.

Marika enjoys writing all types of fiction novels, based on what inspires her. Right now she's working on stand-alone romances in the Beach Squad series, all about California lifeguards and their equally fearless women. Moderate suspense, a splash of humor, and lots of steamy romance...all with the beautiful ocean as a relaxing backdrop!

Author: Sheila Bliss

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Choices 

One choice can change the world…well, mine at least.

I didn’t know I needed him.

I didn’t know I wanted him.

I was safe in the choices I already made. 

Loving him is effortless and reckless.

But the choices he forces me to make traps me in a web of lies, betrayal, abduction and deceit. 

Will I be able to find my way out before I lose everyone I love, including him?

Here are the following:

Some are attachments and some are in the body of the email.

Forgiveness 

Forgiveness is a choice. You have to chose to forgive yourself just as you chose to forgive others. Why is it so hard? Why is it so easy to forgive others than it is to forgive yourself? And why do I have to do it every damn day? This is Todd’s story. 

Picking up where Choices ended, we finally meet Brandon’s real father, Todd. Like Laurel, Todd is faced with a choice, but will he have the courage to chose forgiveness? Or will he give power to his addictions? A delicate love is hanging in the balance while he navigates his path of forgiveness vs. self-destruction. He struggles to forgive himself, something everyone he loves has already done, yet he can’t extend it to himself. Instead he constantly tortures himself for losing Brandon’s mother, Jenny. Will this new love be his savior or another reminder of a life he doesn’t think he deserves? Love waits patiently while he cultivates the courage to reach for a better life. The power of forgiveness is in Todd’s hands, but when confronted with a vicious enemy, will their lives be forever damaged? Will Todd let history repeat itself or will he save his new found family?

Acceptance

Vanessa carries the burden of her brutal assault alone. Will accepting the path she’s chosen help her accept her past? 

Kieran struggles accepting the lie from his past. Fighting for acceptance, Kieran’s anger holds him hostage with serious consequences. 

Paul struggles to accept the mistakes of his past when he meets an alluring woman. He launches head first into a heated affair, despite dangerous warnings, with a woman whose enigmatic smile is as much alluring as it is deceiving. 

Summer has the power to destroy them all. 

Will Acceptance build the bridge to love?

Sheila is a true believer in feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Her books are a true testament to that fact taking a huge leap of faith and making a major career change to follow her passion for writing. 

She lives on the East Coast very close to the city she loves so much with her patient, supportive, husband and three even more supportive teenagers. 

She fills her day with crazy ideas, great friends, family and lots and lots of little people that she absolutely adores.
