Forgiveness is the only option, but can she learn to forgive herself? 

Paralyzed by the past and terrified of the future, Tabitha Kelly is broken. 

After a public sex scandal at her college, Tabby moves to a new city with a new school, convinced she can start over. But she soon realizes the changes are not enough. Tabby must take action to help her heal and move on from the past. 

And though it sounds crazy, she believes a one-night stand is the best way to take back what’s hers. If she can choose where, when, and most importantly, who … maybe she can regain control. 

First, she needs a willing participant. 

She finds more than that when she meets Noah Adler. 

Unfortunately, she can’t go through with it. And when she tries to forget about the plan - and the guy - it becomes impossible. 

Noah quickly weaves his way into her new life and her heart. But as he comes dangerously close to discovering her secret, Tabby’s at risk of losing it all.

Synopsis:

Considering she’s a girl who calculates everything, Addie Battes knew the statistical probability of being abducted in her lifetime—too bad she never analyzed the odds of falling in love with her captor.

While stopping at a crowded rest area one summer night, seventeen-year-old Addie accidentally catches a truck hijacking in progress. Desperate to rid the crime of its only witness, one of the thieves kidnaps Addie. Yet surprisingly, when a renegade thief attempts to silence her for good, Addie is saved by the very man who abducted her. Now, forced on board a cargo ship in the middle of the ocean, Addie finds herself surrounded by international smugglers who want nothing more than to throw her overboard.

All except the artistic and intriguing Charlie Hays, whose strange protectiveness convinces Addie to trust him, even when common sense tells her otherwise. Yet, despite her doubt, and his unrelenting temper, their relationship develops into something much more. But, Charlie’s scorned colleague has stowed away, and as he seeks revenge against his coworker, Addie and Charlie are forced to put their new love—and lives—at risk.

BOOK SPOTLIGHT & GIVEAWAY: Dangerous by Suzannah Daniels

Stone Hamilton had never known fear...until the accident. Since then, his life has spiraled out of control. He's been kicked out of private school, deemed a disappointment by his father, and forced to endure his own guilt, anger, and grief. The last thing he wants is a relationship with someone who will have expectations of him. But once he's enticed by the shimmering pink lips of the oh-so-popular, academically-excelling, straitlaced hottie from his new school, he knows he's in trouble.

Seventeen-year-old Dara Golding has one goal for the summer: make enough money to buy a car, so that she can drive to school her senior year. After starting a new job, she realizes that she'll be working with the brooding, motorcycle-riding, bad boy who started attending Quail Mountain High last year. With his less than stellar reputation, he's everything she's afraid of...and that makes him dangerous.

Their undeniable attraction has Stone struggling with his inner demons. As Dara slowly allows Stone to claim her heart, a little white lie to cover an ugly truth could determine whether she's his savior or the final straw that will break his sanity.

Excerpt:

I picked up the sink sprayer and aimed it at his chest. “Back off, buddy.”

He backed away, his hands raised in surrender. “You wouldn’t dare. You don’t have it in you.”

A challenging grin played on his lips.

“Don’t underestimate what I’m capable of,” I said, reaching with one hand to turn on the water.

He lunged for me. I shrieked and drenched him.

He looked at me for a second, as if he couldn’t believe that I had the audacity to commit such a

crime. He then looked down at his shirt, and back up at me again. “You’re really gonna get it

now!”

I dropped the sprayer, threw a towel at him, and shuffled for the other side of the table, but I

wasn’t nearly quick enough. “No fair, I’m a cripple,” I complained when he pulled me into a

bear hug and pressed his chest into me, soaking the back of my shirt.

“And I’m sick,” he retorted, pinning my arms behind my back and wrestling me to the ground.

His body was heavy on top of mine, his breath ragged in my ear. The stubble on his chin felt

prickly against my cheek as he held me captive on the floor. Heat radiated off him in waves.

“You’re really hot,” I whispered, wondering if he was feverish. It felt like I was trapped inside a

sauna. Not that I minded.

“Thank you.” He flipped me over onto my back, straddled me with his legs, and pinned my arms

down above my head. His nose was inches from mine. “You’re not so bad yourself.”
