Rebekka and the Unwashed Child of Eve
Rebekka and the Unwashed Child of Eve
by Angela Stevens
Genre: Historical Fantasy
A childless couple’s lives are changed forever by the miraculous discovery of a little girl entombed in ice on the Langjökull glacier.
1870: A bleak Christmas Eve night is made all the more pitiful by the recent death of a baby. Having buried five stillborn girls in shallow graves next to the croft, Rebekka becomes captivated by a storyteller’s tale of the Icelandic hidden people.
Finnur, will do anything to restore his wife’s happiness, even if it means encouraging her decline into madness. But when the impossible fairytale turns into a reality, the couple’s impulsive decision to foster the child from the ice, is met with fear and superstition, and threatens the well-being of the whole farmstead.
Rebekka and the Unwashed Child of Eve is an enchanting and compelling story of desperation and need. Reminiscent of The Snow Child and The Secret of Lost Stones, it’s painfully human, yet full of hope, unconditional love, and magic.
If you enjoy the magical realism of Melissa Payne and the charming fairy tale style of Ruth Hogan then you will fall in love with Angela Stevens’s lyrical and emotional storytelling.
**Only .99 cents until Dec 7th!!**
Angela Stevens is an Amazon International Bestselling Romance Author. She also writes Contemporary fantasy and magical realism under her pen name Sadie Collins
Her steamy romance novel, Nolan’s Resolution, from the highly popular multi-author series, ‘After Hurricane Nina’, hit #1 New Release on Amazon in America, Canada, and the UK.
Her 5 book debut series, Hockey Punk, is a sports romance series set around her adopted town near DC and revolves around her favorite sport of ice hockey. Writing in both contemporary romance and contemporary fantasy genres, Angela portrays gritty characters with emotionally charged plots and is not afraid to tackle difficult social issues in her fiction. If you pick up one of her romances, you may have to order an extra supply of tissues, but Angela Stevens will always deliver you a HEA and some smoldering hot scenes to get you there.
In 2020 Angela Stevens rebranded her Fantasy collection and put them under a new pen name–Sadie Collins.
Sadie Collins writes contemporary fantasy. The emphasis is on character and emotion and she has a fascination with folklore and bending the what ifs…
Her six book Vargr Clan Series combines Lycan myth and Native American lore.
Rebekka and the Unwashed Child of Eve is a new venture into a new genre, and Angela and Sadie argued as to who should get their name on the front cover. Ultimately, Angela won out, as she claimed that Sadie did not exist when she first wrote the book. Sadie is still sulking, and at some time in the future there may be a mutiny. In all honesty, this book might need a third pen name, but it came down to the fact that Angela already has more than she can handle without splitting her personality further. If only Angela could pull off a stunt like Finnboga in the story, and cleave herself in two, the ‘team’ could be twice as efficient.

Yuletide Acres by M.L. Broome
Title: Yuletide Acres
Author: M.L. Broome
Genre: Spicy Second Chance Romance
Release Date: December 10, 2020
BLURB
★★★ A spicy, second-chance romance involving a free spirit, a drool-worthy single dad, his precocious six-year-old daughter, and a healthy dose of holiday magic. ★★★
Poppy
I loved Dylan, but he left anyway.
He slipped away in the middle of the night with no warning, and he never returned. He didn’t even say goodbye. An abrupt end to the biggest love affair of my life.
Sounds like lyrics to the latest country song, but every word of this ditty is true.
Even now, ten years later, the man still haunts my memory. Is he healthy? Happy? Sexy and delectable?
Imagine my surprise when I move to a small Montana village, only to learn the mayor is the same man who ghosted me years earlier.
To answer that last question, the term delectable doesn’t do Dylan justice.
There’s only one obstacle to our joyous reunion. He hates me. At least that’s what I thought…until he kissed me.
The feelings between us still burn hot, but my heart was torched once by Dylan West.
Do I risk the fire or run for safety?
Dylan
My biggest regret was leaving Poppy ten years ago. But she was a free spirit, and I needed to grow up and join the real world.
So, I left her—along with my heart—in the California desert, returning home to my tiny Montana town.
Time moved on, and I thought I had, too. Until one fateful morning when I went to greet our town’s newest resident and my past collided with my present.
Now, she’s under my skin, just like before, sexier and feistier than ever. I want nothing more than to make her mine, but I doubt a single father holds much appeal for a woman like Poppy.
There’s only one solution—I can’t let her near my heart again.
But I know the idea is moot. Poppy has owned my heart all along.

EXCERPT
“Poppy, don’t walk away from me.”
“Doesn’t feel so good, does it?”
I grab her to me, feeling the shivers run through her body. Run through my own. I forgot I could feel this way. I forgot everything, but one touch from Poppy brings it all flooding back. “You will always be my girl. It doesn’t matter how many years have passed or how many women I’ve slept with to try to forget you. Forget how you made me feel.”
“Let me go,” Poppy snaps, twisting in my grasp.
Instead of freeing her, I grasp her tighter, pulling her flush against my body. God help me, I miss her. It feels like forever and only a moment since I held her. Since she begged me to never let her go.
I never will again.
But Poppy has ten years of fight in her, and she isn’t yielding. “I’m not your girl. I haven’t been your girl since the day you left me. Remember?”
“I’m working on that.”
“By being an asshole? Word of advice, D—try harder.”
My last bit of patience snaps as my hands slide up to cup her face. “How’s this, then?”
I swallow her arguments, not bothering to seek permission before I capture her mouth. Backing her to the wall, I tangle my fingers in her hair, forcing her to take every ounce of the passion I’ve saved for her. Only for her.
She pushes against me, breaking us apart in the heat of the moment. She stands there—cheeks flushed, breath coming in pants, chest heaving—and glowers in my direction. “How dare you.”
“I dare.” It’s a throwback to our initial meeting, when I showed her in no uncertain terms that she belonged to me. “You are mine, Poppy, and I’m taking back what belongs to me.”
AUTHOR BIO
M.L. Broome is a bohemian spirit with a New York edge. She writes high-octane contemporary romance with a touch of angst and plenty of steamy goodness. Her characters are bitingly real, earning their happily-ever-after only after some emotional ass-kicking and personal growth.
When M.L. isn’t writing or holding one-sided arguments with her characters (spoiler alert—they always win), she loves losing herself in nature on her North Carolina farm, one of her rescue buddies by her side. She adores dressing up and kicking back, a glass of whiskey with an equally stunning view, and experiences that make the soul—and senses—tingle.

Fast forward to the winter of 2014, where Perdita, bi and proud in Chicago, is weeks away from turning seventeen. Her life is perfect–well, almost.

When Perdita meets Fenton, her handsome improv coach who’s taking a gap year before college, she discovers both a kindred soul and a willing accomplice in her search for the truth. Will Perdita find what she’s looking for? And if not, can time really heal all wounds?

Royally Chosen Christmas by Elle Boon
♦ ♦ ♦
He wasn’t supposed to Want her. She wasn’t supposed to Love him. When Heart and Loyalty Collide. Rules don’t apply.
Brotherhood. Family. Club.
They live and die by their own rules.
These are the men of the Royal Bastards and they’ll ride through Hell for each other.
Hollywood Haven never apologizes for who he is or where he came from… The Royal Bastards don’t know everything there is to know about him, and that’s how he likes it. He’s a man who’s dedicated to his brothers and will protect those he loves, especially Talena. She’s the one woman who’s held his heart since the day she came into his life, and he’ll destroy anyone who dares harm one hair on her gorgeous head.
Talena Haven has always had everything she’s wanted except… The life of Hollywood Royalty sounds great, but it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be when the one thing you want, you can’t have. As dreams shatter, becoming nightmares, she turns to the only man who has always protected her.
A façade that falls apart… Hollywood and Talena are forced together in order to keep her safe. Their explosive attraction becomes even more so as her life teeters on the edge. But it’s taboo, or is it? They’ve always been told they look alike, but blonde-haired beauties are a dime a dozen in California. Talena isn’t like other women, she’s his. As secrets come to light, and a devastating truth is revealed, their foundations are rocked, threatening everything they know.
He’ll do anything to protect the men he’s given his oath…as well as the woman who can’t defend herself, testing familial bonds. He’s always protected his blood, the same as he rides hard for his club and values loyalty above all else—until finding out his family lied to him. The truth will come out and when the dust settles, he won’t be the only one left reeling.
Loyalty is more than blood that runs in your veins, a truth that becomes apparent in the most devastating way.
Talena went from pampered princess, to being hunted. Hollywood is just the man who’ll do everything he can to keep her safe, even if digging into the past will uncover secrets some want to keep buried forever.
The past can never be truly forgotten, but Hollywood has never been a man who shies away from a fight…

For We Are Many
For We Are Many
by William Becker
Genre: Dark Contemporary
The beauty of being able to finally let go is something that Robert has craved for a very long time.
Just days after his birthday, he prepares to embrace nothing.
William Becker is a young horror author with a mind for weirder sides of the universe. With an emphasis on complex and layered storylines that tug harshly on the reader to search for deeper meanings in the vein of Silent Hill and David Lynch, Becker is a force to be reckoned within the horror world. His works are constantly unfathomable, throwing terror into places never before seen, while also providing compelling storylines that transcend the predictable jumpscares of the popular modern horror.
His first novel, WEEPING OF THE CAVERNS, was written when he was 14. After eight months of writing, editing, and revising, the story arrived soon after his 15th birthday. During the writing sessions for his debut novel, he also wrote an ultra-controversial short story known as THE WHITE SHADE that focused on the horrors of a shooting. Living in a modern climate, it was impossible for THE WHITE SHADE to see the light of day. Following a psychedelic stint that consisted of bingeing David Lynch movies, weird art, and considering the depth of the allegory of the cave wall, he returned to writing with a second story, THE BLACK BOX, and soon after, his second novel, GREY SKIES.
