Rise From The Ashes

William Ubagan

Synopsis

In the small, picturesque town of Mindanao, a tale of resilience, redemption, and the power of hope unfolds in Rise From the Ashes. This poignant novel follows the life of Nathaniel, a young boy orphaned at a tender age and left in the cruel care of his heartless Aunt Mona. Abandoned by the world and left to endure a childhood filled with neglect and suffering, Nathaniel finds himself teetering on the edge of despair.

Despite the overwhelming darkness that surrounds him, Nathaniel clings to a glimmer of hope—a belief that even in the harshest of circumstances, goodness and kindness can still be found. This unwavering spirit sparks his journey of self-discovery and transformation as he rises above the ashes of his painful past to forge a future of his own.

Along the way, Nathaniel encounters both allies and adversaries, each shaping his destiny in ways that challenge his courage and will to survive. From a fateful meeting with a compassionate young woman named Rose to the kindness of Mr. Robinson, a man who believes in him when others don’t, Nathaniel learns that true strength lies not in the absence of suffering, but in the ability to rise above it.

Set against the backdrop of a town steeped in tradition and secrets, Rise From the Ashes is a stirring story of survival, forgiveness, and redemption. It is a tribute to the human spirit’s capacity to endure, heal, and rise from even the deepest of wounds, reminding readers that no matter how dark the world may seem, there is always a spark of light waiting to be kindled.

Mike Bravo Ops: Atlas

Eden Finley

ATLAS  
Working undercover at a strip club is not my usual kind of job. If it weren’t a great opportunity to show the Mike Bravo team I can run my own op, I wouldn’t have agreed to it.  
When my boss asks me to befriend the biggest gossip in the establishment, the person who knows everything, I’m even more reluctant. Because that happens to be one of the dancers. The only dancer to catch my attention in all the wrong ways. 
I need to be professional or I will never prove I’m leadership material. 
Only problem is, the guy with the stage name Lemon makes me want to be anything but professional.  
LEMON 
I’m sick of the new bartender throwing dirty looks my way. He’s as judgmental as he is hot, and let’s just say he’s really judgmental.  
I don’t know why he’s working here if he looks down on us dancers so much. He could bartend at a regular club.  
But when he saves me from a drunken customer getting too handsy, his attitude suddenly flips, and we find ourselves becoming … friends?  
Underneath the judgment, it turns out Atlas is a total sweetheart.  
Maybe more caring than anyone I’ve ever met.  
I’ve never had a relationship before, but something tells me it could be way too easy to fall for the gentle giant.

A Victorian Visitor - A...

Stephenia H. McGee

He never asked for a blind date—especially not one from 1864.
If Connor Payne had known his grandfather was up to a matchmaking scheme on their weekend trip to a quirky B&B, he would have stayed home on the farm. But it turns out his accommodations come not with a blind date, but a trip to 1864—with a war on the doorstep and no idea how to get home. Rescuing a stubborn beauty and her grandfather from the burning of Atlanta was not on his weekend agenda. Now getting her to safety might mean dragging her through time… and into a future neither of them understands.
Amanda Lashley never imagined the ticking clocks in her grandfather’s shop could signal the end of everything she’s ever known. But when two strangers arrive out of nowhere and insist they must leave immediately, she makes a choice that catapults her into a world of strange customs, dazzling inventions, and impossible surprises. Now stuck in a future she never asked for, Amanda must find her footing, her courage—and maybe even her heart.
