Tallyho In The Squat
by Asa Ingram
Smuggling wild rabbits. Late night sasquatch hunting. A bar fight with a donkey. This wasn’t the post-graduate life Bill Gulledge bargained for.
But in a terrible economy, Bill’s English degree doesn’t pack much punch, and his wealthy redneck father enlists him to bring back illegal shipments of wild rabbits from Kentucky to their hometown in South Carolina. His good ole boy cousin, Jimbo, joins the party after he loses his beer truck driving job due to a heart condition.
With cash in their pockets, plenty of beer in the coolers, and lots of time to kill, Bill and Jimbo set out for their wild adventures while sneaking their contraband bunnies past the cops. Life is simple for Bill—until he falls for the rabbit supplier’s off-limits daughter, Rye Cotton.
Now committing a federal wildlife crime is the least of Bill’s worries.

Divine Intervention
by Cheryl Kaye Tardif
CFBI agent Jasmine McLellan leads a psychically gifted team in the hunt for a serial arsonist―a murderer who has already taken the lives of three people.

In a manhunt that takes them from Vancouver to Kelowna, Penticton and Victoria, they are led down a twisting path of sinister secrets.
Sifting through ashes and clues, Jasi realizes that there is more to the third victim than meets the eye. Perhaps not all of the victims were that innocent. The hunt intensifies when she learns that someone they know is next on the arsonist’s list.
Unleashing her gift as a Pyro-Psychic, Jasi is compelled toward smoldering ashes and enters the killer’s mind―a mind bent on destruction and revenge. And in the heat of early summer, Jasi discovers that a murderer lies in wait… much closer than she ever imagined.

Plastic Hearts
by Lisa De Jong
My life has always been safe. I like it that way. I grew up in a fake society where plastic hearts rule. If our hearts are made of plastic, they can never be broken. My parents have expectations and I do everything I can to meet them, even if it means giving up on my own dreams.
Now, all I want is to be free to make my own choices.
Dane Wright is everything I have been warned to stay away from. We met one night while I was with my perfect, parent-approved boyfriend and I haven’t stopped thinking about him. I don’t want to like him. I am doing everything I can to ignore his pull, but my heart seems to want what it cannot have, what it has never had.
Can he measure up? He may think I am too good for him, but maybe he is too good for me.
Life is a series of choices and I have never been able to make my own. Until one day, when my heart decides to make a choice for me.
