    Thomas Mulvaney was just a child when an error in judgment cost him everything. He vowed then that he would do anything to atone for his mistake. And he did. He never strayed from the right path. Until Aiden. 
    Aiden Mulvaney doesn’t exist. He’s a lie created by the father who disowned him and by Thomas Mulvaney, the only man Aiden had ever begged to love him. But that was years ago, when he’d still believed in fairytales. Before Thomas rejected him. 
    Thomas has spent years trying to have Aiden in his life while keeping him at arm's length, but Aiden’s done with half-measures. He’s done with Thomas the martyr. He’s just done. So he’s kept his distance. Trouble is, now someone is threatening to expose a secret that affects them all. 
    No, not that one. A secret so shameful, Thomas won’t even utter it out loud. Can he and Aiden revisit the past and keep the family name intact, or will they both be buried beneath the weight of their memories as their old feelings resurface?

    Growing up in small-town Texas, Jason Felts dreamed of being in Hollywood. He made his way to California, started his own production company at twenty-three, was named to Variety's "Top 10 to Watch" list, rubbed elbows with famous faces daily, and rose quickly to build and lead a multi-million dollar entertainment company for Virgin, one of the world's most respected brands—so why did he walk away at such a young age? Jason recounts how he diligently pursued opportunities in the entertainment industry, quickly working his way up from small-time, thankless jobs serving the most powerful, to becoming a key industry player himself, making incredible things happen behind the scenes that no one ever knew—until now. Join him as he spills never-told-before tea, sharing how he lost his Hollywood virginity. 
     
     
     
    Hollywood Virgin is Jason's journey of discovering what happens when you achieve more than you imagined and find that the excess isn't enough. This raw and real insider look provides a peek behind the scenes of an industry very few really know. Jason elegantly removes the concealer off the powerful, fake, and dishonest power players at the same time he equally shines light on the authentic, selfless, or lesser known stories in Hollywood. For all those working hard towards fulfilling their dreams, learn and be inspired from his anything-but-straightforward career.

    When an attractive stranger waltzes into her grandfather's pottery shop, Catherine can't stop herself from unloading her profound contempt for the festival frenzy and in particular for Jesse Morgan, the main attraction of the event. Much to her dismay, Catherine is gob smacked to discover that the stranger is none other than the boot-scooting singer herself. 
     
     
     
    Jesse Morgan has everything a woman could wish for: an accomplished career, people who love her, and a life full of fun. Too bad the only thing she wants is an irritable, distrustful French woman who seems convinced Jesse is shallow with no morals at all. 
     
     
     
    Can the two find true love in the Colorado wilderness? And even if they do—how can they possibly build a relationship that will last?

    Knowing I can never have him.

    Recluse Sophie Vanguard's winter cabin retreat turns ominous when blue flowers mysteriously appear. They're everywhere. On her front porch, in kitchen cabinets, and even on her pillow. It isn't long before chilling whispers echo in the halls, and her journal repeats seven unsettling entries.  
    Enter the bloodied and beautifully eccentric Ly Thi Ren. Though Ren seems familiar, Sophie refuses to believe the girl's insistence that they are trapped inside a book. 
    In a land of fiction, truth and lies blur together, clear decisions are marred by doubt, and shared family trauma lurks just below the surface. 
    Can Ren and Sophie make it out alive? Or will they end up nothing more than words inked in blood and memory?
