Finding a "happily ever after" was hard enough.
Keeping it is even harder.

Olivia Brennan and Cameron Stone have both gone through Hell and back to finally find their way to each other. With obstacles set against them, the struggle to stay connected is harder than ever. Between their academic schedules, Olivia's newfound campus infamy, and a conniving ex stirring up trouble, Liv and Cam begin to struggle to keep what they've worked so hard for.

But when something unexpected fractures their trust, they must decide if they can repair what's left of their fragile love or will they discover that "happily ever after" is just for fairytales?
THE WAY BACK TO ME (The Way, Book 2)
Currently available in Amazon Kindle Unlimited.
She was perky, fun, and full of life - everything I hated about girls and their bullshit exterior. People called her bubbly; I called her "fake-as-hell."

The edgy, dark, lonely girl in front of me was not the Olivia Brennan I knew from high school - far from it, actually. I knew the story - the whole town knew the story, we witnessed it all. It happened in the blink of an eye and the girl we knew was gone.

But I refuse to watch it anymore - I can't stand it. I'm going to fix it - fix her. 
It's time I showed Olivia Brennan her way back...

Back to the girl she used to be.
 
I was born and raised in Wisconsin and still live here today with my tow sons and puppy. (Though one day soon I hope to move to southern California!)

BANGER'S RIDE - Cover Reveal

Title - BANGER'S RIDE
Series - Insurgents MC #5
Author - Chiah Wilder
Genre - MC Romance
Release Date - Summer 2016
 
Banger, President of the Insurgents MC, isn't looking for a woman to replace his beloved wife. Ever since she died, he's closed his heart to loving again. He satisfies his carnal pleasure with the club girls and hoodrats. It's safer that way.

The President of the national club may have sparkling blue eyes and an infectious smile, but make no mistake, if someone crosses him or his club, he'd slit their throat in a heartbeat.

Set in his ways, tough, tattoed, and a no BS-type of man, Banger is doing just fine until he meets the sassy, curly-haired, single mom who can cook the best fried chicken he's ever tasted.

He can't get enough of her cooking... or her.

For the first time since he's been widowed, he wants a woman in his life warming his bed.

And the no-nonsense woman, who has a body made for sinning, has turned his world upside down.

Belle Dermot is a widow with two kids whose husband left her penniless. Wanting a fresh start, she moves to Pinewood Springs and takes a job at the local diner cooking tasty, home-cooked meals.

After finding out her husband was a cheating louse, the last thing she wants is another man in her life. She has her hands full with a rebellious teenage daughter, paying the bills, and fending off nasty accusations that she poisoned her husband.

Then she meets Banger, the muscular, handsome, and rugged biker who comes crashing into her life.
If only he wasn't so nice to her and didn't get her all hot and bothered. And why did he have to be so damn good in bed?

As hard as she tries to push him away, he keeps slipping back into her life, helping her with her problems. And Banger's not the type to let go once he decides on something. And he's decided to make Belle his. Now, he just needs her to agree to be his woman.

The insurgents MC Series are standalone romance novels. This is Banger and Belle's love story. This book contains violence, sexual assault (not graphic), strong language, and steamy/graphic sexual scenes. It describes the life and actions of an outlaw motorcycle club. If any of these issues offend you, please do not read the book. HEA. No cliffhangers! The book is intended for readers over the age of 18.
Chiah Wilder is the author of Hawk's Property, the first book in the Insurgents MC Series. It is a full length, standalone novel. Its release date is set for October 27, 2015. Always a lover of books, she began writing at a young age and continued through college with collections of short stories. Figuring she had to grow up and get a "real" job, her writing was placed on the back burner.
Her love of reading has always been center front in her life. Chiah's love of bad boys both in and out of fiction has inspired her Insurgents series. She loves an alpha male whose softer side is brought out by a passionate, spirited woman. In fiction there are no rules or boundaries, and fantasies can go as far as the characters want to take them. Steamy, biker romances with rough, sexy bad boys are her guilty pleasure along with brownies, cheddar cheese, and movie marathons.
Returning to writing has been a dream come true. Writing and publishing Hawk's Property has been an amazing journey, and she is happy to share the Insurgents family with her readers. She is busy writing her next book in the series.
Chiah would love to hear from you. You can contact her at: chiahwilder@gmail.com or at one of the following links:

Ash got up from the porch and walked over to my car. When I didn’t move, he opened the door.  He crouched down so that we were eye level and said, "You can come into the firehouse, but you can't get out of your car?" "I can. I just don't want to.”"So that's how you’re going to do this?”"No. I went to the firehouse to talk to you. I was asked to leave before I got the chance, by you. Forgive me if I have some reserve in me."  "If this is really how you want this, then fine." I had no idea what he was going to do. He stood, paused for a moment and then closed my door again. He walked toward the back and my heart fell as I thought he was leaving. But then he was at my passenger door, opening it up and taking a seat. "Talk." "Don't be mean to me." "Don't be mean to you? Sadie, do you want me to kiss your ass while you break my heart. That is never going to happen. I love you so much. I will always love you. But our love was just getting started. Thank God, this didn't happen later. I feel like my heart has been cut out already. I can’t imagine how much more painful this could be. I understand, Sadie. I always knew there was something between you two. I begged you to deal with all of that before I fell for you, to avoid all this. Why couldn't you do that? Why would you let me fall so hard, when you knew you could leave me someday if he showed up and said the right thing?" "Are you done?" I waited for him to respond but he didn't. "Do you want me anymore after all of that? Could you still be with me knowing I came into this without truly wrapping all of that up like you asked? Could you even respect me knowing that as my love grew for you there was still part of my heart that was his all along?"





Author Barbara Speak loves nothing more than being allowed to share her ideas and thoughts through books that so many enjoy. When she's not writing she's caring for her son and daughter along side her amazing husband in rural Missouri. She has 5 more babies but these are covered in fur.

 Title - STONE
Author - Mardi Maxwell
Genre - New Adult Romance
Release Date - March 31, 2016
She brought him to her world to save the human race. He intends to save her.
In 2230 Earth was invaded by an alien species. After years of war, the men are gone and the women are left to fight for the survival of the human race. When one of the aliens' time travel devices is discovered a task force is formed to bring some of Earth's most elite soldiers into the future.

Lieutenant Sunny Blake is ordered to travel back to 2125 and retrieve Lieutenant Jefferson W. Stone. Sunny can lead a squad of fighters and keep them alive, but she's never had to deal with a man like Stone. A man whose reputation on and off the battlefield has proceeded him into the twenty-third century.

Stone has two interests. High-risk missions and lust-filled nights of pleasure with the many ladies who pursue him. Finding himself thrust into the future, where the women know how to fight but don't know what to do with a lusty man, is the last place he'd ever want to be.

 "Who are you sending to get these men?"
The General looked at Commander Mitchell. Sunny looked as well and found her staring back at her. 
"We have four teams," Commander Mitchell said. "Each team has been assigned a historian advisor and a medical team. You, Lieutenant Blake, are Alpha team. You're going back for the first warrior in two days' time. Your historian will give you the information you need to rescue him. Once you get him back here the medical team and the Council will take over. If he decides to stay he'll be assigned to your squad. We expect the men we save to help us bring back more soldiers and supplies while we familiarize them with our world. Any other questions?"
"Yes, ma'am," Sunny said. "Who am I retrieving?"
"Jefferson W. Stone," Commander Mitchell said.
"The twenty-third? The one who died in 2125?" Sunny had to work to keep the excitement from her voice.
Commander Mitchell nodded. "We thought it was appropriate to choose him first since this is the twenty-third century."
General Davis stood. “Lieutenant Blake, get some rest and report to your historian at zero six hundred. At this time, we’ve covered everything and you're all dismissed."
Sunny and the other lieutenants saluted then left the room. Once they were out of sight of the Council chambers the squad leaders surrounded Sunny and the ribbing began.
"Wow! Jefferson W. Stone the Twenty-third! Your all-time huge crush!" Kelby Barker said, then laughed.
Before Sunny could answer, Ginny Johnson piped up, "According to his biography you're his type. Tall and curvy with big," she held her hands at her chest then moved them out several inches and laughed.
"Maybe we should put her in a chastity belt. We might have one in storage somewhere," Lieutenant Jo Miller said.
"There's no need," Sunny said.
"No need? He's all you ever talked about after you saw his picture in his biography," Lieutenant Dean said. "And, by the way, we know you tore his picture out of the book."
“You can’t prove that.” Sunny laughed. “Remember I’ve read his biography—.”
“You mean you’ve practically memorized it,” Jo said.
“I prefer to say I’ve studied his book but either way I know his secrets. I think I can handle him.” The initial excitement she’d felt was sinking in and becoming a reality. What would it be like to stand next to him? To be able to reach out and touch him? A man from the past that she’d never dreamt she’d meet much less have a chance to get to know. Stone was a man’s man and he’d appeared in most of her dreams for the last eleven years.
“The book says a lot of women have handled him,” Lieutenant Douglas said then winked and added, “Or rather he handled them.”
“They say when he died, the women he made love to grieved for him for the rest of their lives,” Lieutenant Dean said with an envious heartfelt sigh.
“Bull crap,” Sunny said. “They probably said good riddance, got married, and never gave him another thought.” 
Ginny laughed. “Well, just in case we get lucky, and he’s as horny and energetic as his biography says, I’m going to the clinic to see if they have any kind of contraceptives.”
“I’ll come with you,” Kelby said.
“Me, too.” Jo said then looked at Sunny. “Coming?”
“No and all of you need to remember I called dibs on Stone ten years ago. So hands off, ladies.”
“That was just a game we played at your sixteenth birthday party,” Jo said.
“Too bad. Dibs are dibs,” Sunny said. “Jo, you claimed Calder Campbell. Ginny you claimed Blade Lawrence and Kelby you claimed Gideon Williams. I’m enforcing the claim on Stone.”
“Spoilsport,” Ginny said.
Sunny laughed and hurried away while inside one phrase repeated in her mind—hot damn, I’m going to meet Jefferson Wakefield Stone in the flesh!
Mardi Maxwell loves the quirky and the unique. She believes in UFOs, ghosts, and that we have a space station on the dark side of the moon. She likes books that put the reader "through the wringer" so expect a lot of drama and laughter in her books along with a happy ending.
She writes contemporary erotic romance and steamy sci-fi romance. When she isn’t writing you can find her in her garden or spending time with family and friends. She loves cooking, traveling, movies and spontaneous trips to wherever the road takes her.

DARE TO DREAM - New release

"If you dare to love, is there any way you can lose?"
DARE TO DREAM
Dream Series, Book 6
by
Isabelle Peterson
Have you been waiting for Book 6 of the Dream Series?
Or were you waiting for the series to be all complete and released before you get started?
Well.... the series is complete!!
What's next for the Fairchilds?

Elizabeth Fairchild and, her true love, Jack Stevens, have organized the Dare to Dream Gala, and her whole family is joining her in New York.

Her three children all seem to have secrets.
Bradley, her oldest, wants to talk to her, but won't say why.
Carter, her middle child, is bringing a girlfriend, but has said very little about her.
Even her youngest, Phoebe, seems to be hiding something.

Secrets and a reunion... Will there be celebrations?

*This is the final book of the series and NOT a standalone!*
Wonderful end to the series!!
I have followed this author and her books since her first book DITCHING THE DREAM was released. As each book was released I fell in love with each of the characters. Of course, Elizabeth "Beth" Fairchild will always hold a special place in my heart because I could completely relate to how she felt in the first book.
In DARE TO DREAM, we get a bit of every person we met in the previous books including Beth and Greg's children Carter and Brad. There were definitely a few jaw-dropping moments in this book. The last part of the book we get a glimpse into their futures and I absolutely LOVED how each of their stories wrapped up! 
I highly recommend not only this book, but ALL of the previous books in this series! Isabelle Peterson did an amazing job telling these characters' stories and connecting them to real-life issues that many people experience daily. From stay-home-moms to young people facing tough situations to people discovering who they truly are and going after what makes them happy!
Definitely one of my favorite series I have ever read! I am going to miss these characters!

Isabelle Peterson is a Chicago suburbs girl living in Connecticut enjoying days in New York City. Her Dream Series was never intended to exist. Thanks to a couple authors who dared her to write a book (when she typically wrote screenplays), we got the book Ditching the Dream, which then evolved into the Dream Series. It didn't take more than 8 months to complete the dare from rough draft to published, with several times rescuing the draft from the Deleted file.
With a new career started, she would need supporters... and her biggest ones are husband, Marcus; Beverly H. (one of the authors who dared her), and Jennifer G. (a loyal, dedicated reader).
Isabelle a fabulous author who--if it weren't for a dare-- we would have never gotten the chance to venture the world of the Dream Series.
