Forgotten Parallels

Shel Schneider

In a universe where popular music is outlawed and a handful of men control everything, citizens throughout the world are forced into fake lives simply to survive. Artists are treated like rock stars, but the art does little to ease the darkness of oppression. 
  
When Mary finds herself in New York City, broke and homeless, it feels like the end. She sees a glimpse of a life she could have experienced if things had been different — if music had not been a threat to those in charge. 
  
As a best selling artist, Scarlet has the eyes of the world focused on her, but she knows this life should have been different. A different woman should be on the stage, and she should be singing to sold out crowds. She should be creating magic with her music. 
Can Scarlet find this woman who is destined to become a music superstar? Can the magic in the music find a way into their world? Will they be able to turn the tide and stop the oppression?

Lesson Plans - An Education in...

Lainey Davis

She's totally off limits…and she's also kind of mean. He wants her anyway.???????  
Doug Rogers has it all planned out. He just needs to teach summer school and one tiny class at the nearby university and his master's in education will be paid for. But he wasn't planning on Amy Peterson.  
The almost-nurse in his comp class seems mad at the world, and particularly mad at Doug. She's one class away from her nursing degree after five long years of hard work, and she doesn't have the time or the patience for her optimistic instructor, no matter how attractive he is behind those glasses. The more he tries to talk to her, the more he seems to shove his foot in his mouth.  
When a work accident brings Doug to the emergency room, he sees Amy in action and knows he's a goner for this fierce, competent woman. Except…she's still his student for another week.  
Lesson Plans: An Education in Romance is a steamy prequel linking the Stag Brothers series and Bridges and Bitters. Readers have loved Doug and Amy from the sidelines. See how their story begins in this novella.
