Q.T. Porta

Casa editrice: Grosvenor House Publishing

Sinossi

Two feisty females move to the seaside.
At last, a life of fun with candy floss, penny arcades, fish 'n' chips, and ice-creams.
Even the scary seagulls will not stop them.
Pam and Martha are outwardly mature, but the rebellious teenager is close to the surface. Walking on the tightrope between sensible and sassy is a tricky balancing act.
Pam is not ready to abdicate her title of Party Queen.
Martha is carrying a weight on her shoulders which is agonizing.
Pam shares a thought about their flight to the fresh air by the shore -
"We carry all our baggage with us, and they're even heavier than my rucksack."
Martha cannot resist: "Nothing's heavier than your rucksack!"
Walks along the coast revitalise and reawaken feelings buried long ago.
The beach is filled with pebbles and framed by brightly coloured designs -
"Come on Maeve, let's go and look at the Beach Hutches!" says Pam.
"No, Aunty Pam, they are called Beach Huts."
"I know," said Pam, "but it sounds more fun, don't you think?"
The breeze blows away a few of the cobwebs but the tide times change.
As the clocks go back the portrait of the sun set is mesmerising.

New to the Life

Zenithra Black

Ivy gripped the sheets on her queen-size bed as Alonzo’s body was pressed against hers; loud moans escaping from her lips as he constantly pleasured her on purpose. He intertwined his fingers with hers, his lips pressed against the side of her neck, planting soft kisses that drove her insane. She never knew that  
a vampire she just met from the club would make her feel that good. She didn’t even think a hook up with him would bring so much joy, heartbreak, so many secrets, and dangerous foes. It made for one bittersweet cocktail of being New To The Life. Alonzo knew what he was doing when he didn’t put the black packaged magnum, he had in his pocket the whole time, on. He wanted a child. From the way Ivy’s chocolate thighs shook and her body swallowed every drop of his release, he knew they made something special that night. Years later, his business in the streets is threatening to destroy all he holds dear. He’s ready for war, to  
crush any and all that rise against him, including those in his inner circle.
