She’s running her heart out to stay in the same place.
Ronnie Ventura has every reason to distrust Fairstein Productions: she’s had run-ins with their shows before. But Fairstein’s newest reality show offers Ronnie a chance to redeem herself from looking like a blonde bimbo. All she has to do is win a modified triathlon. Simple, right? Except this is Fairstein, and nothing is ever simple with them.
Ronnie’s boss at the Blarney Stone bar and café, owner Ted Saltzman, is a lot less convinced that another Fairstein show is just what Ronnie needs, particularly when he’s head over heels about Ronnie himself. But she’s determined, and he’s a man in love.
Ted becomes her running coach, which fans their budding romance to a fever. But can Ronnie’s newfound confidence stand up to the usual Fairstein plots? And can Ted find a way to keep his true love in Salt Box if Hollywood tries to steal her away again?

Salt Box Trilogy, Book 1
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
Published: June 2015
Reality can be hotter than fiction.
Monica McKellar, associate producer of Finding Mr. Right, is desperate. One of the show’s bachelors has bailed one week before shooting starts. She not only needs a replacement ASAP, he has to get the temperamental bachelorette’s stamp of approval.
Fortunately there’s a hot guy right under her nose who’s a perfect fit. Unfortunately, he pushes all her hot buttons. Until the show’s over, her hands—and every other part of her body—are tied.
When Paul Dewitt signed on to write for the reality show, “Bachelor #10” wasn’t supposed to be in his job description. He fully expects to be cut early on, which will free him to focus on the real object of his attraction. Monica.
Instead, he’s a finalist, and they’re all packed in an SUV climbing the Continental Divide, headed for Salt Box, Colorado. Where stampeding horses, vindictive tabloid editors, and one capricious bachelorette’s waffling over suitors may conspire to end Paul and Monica’s romance before it even starts.
Warning: Contains hot sex on the sly, cold nights, creaking wicker couches, and a gypsy wagon that gives a whole new appreciation for the pioneers.
Salt Box Trilogy, Book 2
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
Published: January 2016
Breakfast with benefits…
The reality show Lovely Ladies of L.A. should have launched Lizzy Apodaca’s catering company into solvency. Instead, when her carefully prepared appetizers mysteriously gave the cast on-camera food poisoning, she lost everything.
To make matters worse, her car breaks down in Salt Box, Colorado, a town not much bigger than a salt shaker. But maybe her luck is changing—the handsome owner of Praeger House, the town’s premier hotel, needs a kitchen assistant.
Clark Denham realizes his diamond in the rough is a polished gem when Lizzy steps up to save the hotel’s breakfast buffet after his temperamental head chef quits. It isn’t long before she’s winning his heart as smoothly and efficiently as she runs his kitchen.
Their relationship goes from simmer to rolling boil with the speed of a short order cook. But when a bevy of not-so-lovely ladies shows up in Salt Box, Lizzy’s past disaster threatens to flatten her happily ever after faster than a falling soufflé.
Warning: Contains salty dialogue, several servings of high-carb cooking, and a big platter of screaming-hot bedroom delights.

Contemporary Fiction, Women’s Fiction
Date Published:  November 2016

If you’re a serious investor, you’ve seen ‘Ms. Money’ on TV. She’s a regular on Smarter Than The Street, the financial markets broadcast whose Neilsen ratings are off the chart. When she’s not on camera, Margaret M Worth is Chief Investment Strategist for nationwide money manager Traub Securities. Learn how the woman who majored in Holy Orders and planned to work at a mission school in Guatemala became a Wall Street guru.
After making a fortune in merger and acquisitions, losing it on the dot.com blow-up and winning it back with decidedly insider information, she is ultimately victorious in the men-only survival-of-the-fittest world of Wall Street, owing to her mantra–“Sex is the ultimate medium of exchange!” But she becomes disillusioned with the Midas touch, and when a Presidential appointment sends her into the inner sanctum of the monetary blowup at the New York Federal Reserve on Maiden Lane, she gets in touch with the real Maggie, discovering genuine self-worth. Experiencing the Financial Crisis first-hand, she witnesses the titanic conflict between the Kings of the Street and the Feds who want to rule them. Will her new found self-reliance be rewarded? 

Excerpt

 

“Now you’ve seen how I became Ms. Money, a highly paid financial strategist and TV stock market commentator with a bank account to die for. I took off my clothes, so to speak, and bared it all. I have two children who are worth more to me than anything in the world. Even more important you now know that the hero of my story is a woman. She is neither slave girl, nor princess, as central casting would have it. She knows that women can be heroes not heroines. And she knows what she has to do to become one. What I am is a woman who understands the heroism of being a woman. I’m ready now for grueling arduous conflict. But please pay careful attention because my struggle is a woman’s. Fire-breathing dragons have been extinct for centuries.”  ― T.L. Ashton, Ms. Money
 
About the Author
TL Ashton wrote investment strategy at Prudential Securities, Salomon Brothers, U.S. Trust, TD Ameritrade, and other Wall Street firms before switching to fiction about what goes on in them when financial crisis strikes. The Madonna Model, by the same author will be published early next year.

“Even though I was decaying, Amelia was growing. It was like some beautiful symphony the way both things were happening at once.”
Sacrificing your life for your child is one of the greatest ways a mother can show her love.
For Cara Michaels, that sacrifice was made.
At ten weeks pregnant, Cara was diagnosed with a fast-acting cancer and was faced with the ultimate decision…
That decision, was to forgo life-saving treatment to ensure her child would come into this world unharmed.
Cara shares with us the last months of her life as she prepared to give birth to her child and for her husband, Joel, to parent without her.
But a husband can only handle so much before he breaks…
Grab your tissues because you’re in for heartbreak.
Growing up on an old dirt road in the middle of nowhere, as a child Candis used her love for books as a way to escape reality (and her brother constantly trying to kill her–literally). She blames her love of all things Horror on being born on Friday the 13th and will always find joy in scaring her friends.
You will find a little piece of her in every book she writes. She loves a good happy ending but isn’t afraid to keep her stories real, even if that means telling the side of a story most people are afraid to tell.
Never caring for the norms or boundaries, Candis has written several genres from Horror to Erotica.
When she’s not writing or reading, she can usually be found chasing her children around or binge watching Netflix. She currently lives in Rome, Pennsylvania with her husband and three children.

He seems like the wrong choice but she can’t seem to get enough of him.
Rio and Stacy are going to find out that sometimes what you believe is completely and totally wrong.
Excerpt

 

“How old were you when you lost your virginity?”
I held back a chuckle. This game of war was starting to get serious. “Sixteen. How about you, Princess?”
She slapped a queen on top of my jack and pulled the pair towards her. “Fourteen.”
Fourteen? That was the same age my sister had been when–
“Did you love her?”
“Uh…” She interrupted my thoughts and threw me for a loop with that question. What had we been talking about? Right, virginity. “No. I thought I did at the time. Did you love him?”
“I thought I did at the time but he broke my heart.” She tossed a two in my direction and I scooped up the small win.
“What’s his name? I’ll kill him.”
She smiled, her eyes twinkling softly as she met my gaze. “Garret Sothers. He’s in Boyd County jail. Protected.”
“For now,” I said with a wink. We both set down a pair of aces and then proceeded to have a war.
“One, two, three. War!”
“Oh, come on!” she shouted as my other ace kicked her king’s ass. I grinned as she settled herself back down and we proceeded to play. “Who broke your heart?”
My dad.
I glanced up, her gaze was down on the cards. Thank God I didn’t say that out loud.
“Britney.”
“You don’t know her last name?”
“I do. Spears. She broke my heart when she started dating that asshole Justin Timberlake.”
The front door slammed shut as James and Elly came back inside effectively cutting off Stacy’s laughter. I was a little disturbed that I’d forgotten that they had been out there. No doubt James was near frozen. I swallowed back my unease and stood up from the table as they both entered the kitchen. Stacy looked at me with big, worried eyes. I offered her a smile which seemed to ease her tension a bit. She turned her in her chair, her eyes on James.
“So,” James said, looking down at his feet. He looked every bit like a little boy who’d just told his mother to go screw herself. “I overreacted a little bit and I’m sorry.”
“I forgive you, of course. I’m sorry too, for being such a klutz and ruining your drums.”
She nibbled on her lower lip for a moment before she stood up and extended her arms towards him. I felt jealousy burning in my gut as James arms wrapped around her and pulled her body close to his.
“Okay,” he said, ending the hug as quickly as it had begun. He stepped back and glanced between all of us. “There is more good news on top of that apology. The roads have been plowed and we are all free to get out of each other’s hair.
I felt the snap of disappointment at the news. Stacy was more fun than I thought she’d be sober and although the sexual tension between us was high we were still able to hold a conversation. Perhaps we could make a go of things once my sobriety was under control and steady. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to try.
I shoved my hands into my jean pockets and nodded. “Awesome. Let’s all get showered and then we can go back to the bar.
“Dibs!” James practically pushed Elly out of the way as he ran towards the bathroom. I sighed heavily.
“We’re not going to be getting any hot water, are we?” Stacy asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
I shook my head. “No. Probably not.”
Elly shrugged innocently. “I already had one. I’m gonna go watch some TV. Wanna join?”
I looked between the two girls who were staring at each other. Stacy shrugged her shoulders. “Sure.” And then they both looked at me.
“Uh, yeah, sure.”
