Third Wheel

Third Wheel

Las Vegas, 1982. Brady Wilks, a teenage transplant from the Midwest, navigates life in the dusty suburban outskirts of an aberrant 24-hour town built by the Mob. Outcast as a newcomer, Brady forges a brotherly bond with an older teenage neighbor, Mick, and his friend, Brett. But when Brett unexpectedly moves away, Mick invites a new kid into their pack, squeezing out the last remnants of their childhood in favor of a new world laced with cartel-supplied drugs and the deal of a lifetime.

Third Wheel is a powerful novel about belonging, betrayal, and breaking away from paths laid out by others, even when it means grasping at an uncertain future. It is the story of a boy trying to find his identity without the benefit of a role model by taking chances on random and fragile relationships forged in the predawn hours of a future boomtown.

Desolate and gritty, Third Wheel is a triumphant debut novel, and Brady Wilks is remarkable as a transformative protagonist. Four-time award-winning author Richard R. Becker shares his unique insight into the human condition. $2.99 on Kindle.

Tempting Max

 

Gus
I am in my ‘New Gus’ era. I am learning to love myself again. I am rediscovering me after the dumpster fire of an almost marriage. I am…living with my great aunt until I can afford to get my own place.

But that requires a job. And lucky for me, I score one on my first interview with the grumpiest, hottest, bear-sized man I’ve ever had the pleasure to irritate. He’s at least twenty years older than me and I’m positive that he forgot how to smile right around the time I was born. But there’s something about the pain behind his eyes that I want to ease.

All too soon I’m dreaming of his strong hands on my body and his lips against mine. But I can’t. I shouldn’t. There’s no way my heart is ready for another fall.

Max
Opening Redpoint Brewery with my brothers is not our passion project or something we ever imagined we would be doing. But it’s our last chance—with our last cent—to make something of the Sutton name after losing our birthright.

I expected the normal ups and downs of a new business. I expected this mid-life about-face to be difficult. But I didn’t expect my brand-new employee—Gus—to turn me completely upside down with her copper-colored hair, delicious curves, and smartass mouth.

I want her. But I can’t even think about it. She’s too young. I’m too broken. And I won’t make the mistake of losing everything by falling for an employee. Again. $0.99 on Kindle.

Pull Me In

Pull Me In
In the business of matchmaking and can’t find love? That’s me.
It’s always fun to find that special someone for our client, you know, the one they ride off into the sunset with.
But me? I just get burned by the sun, stung by bees, and wind up sea sick from the boat ride.
Unfortunately my twin sister and I made a pact when we were kids regarding this ‘love’ thing.
If we were unmarried at thirty, we’d really go ham on trying to find Mr. Right.
So thirty showed up. Go figure. But my should-be husband is apparently lost in the universe and refuses to stop and ask for directions.
Lucky for me, my firm (the matchmaking one) is going to make me go through the process of finding my forever guy for a documentary that’ll prove we’re legitimate.
I’d rather swim in the sewer, but that wasn’t an option.
The minute I start our ‘dating in the dark’ process, my mind opens to something I’ve never realized.
My best friend, the one that has been there all along, suddenly looked perfect. And hot.
Disturbing for sure. But soooo hot.
Now I’m stuck in the middle. Falling for my blind date and my best friend at the same time.
When it rains it pours. Apparently, men.
I have no clue who I should choose or even how I should do it.
Love has pushed me out for thirty years and now it’s decided to pull me in.

CareGivers ScareTakers: Exposing Fraud in Senior Care

Do you know if your trusted caregiver is ripping off your parents?
What can you do to protect your loved ones?
How can you find the best qualified caregiver?

Families struggled to find dependable, trusted care. These true stories are but a glimpse that exposes fraud and manipulation by unscrupulous caregivers. Through these stories, you will learn to identify subtle hints that expose a dishonest caregiver. You’ll discover resources, tips on hiring and managing your caregiver and some basic estate planning questions are included.

More than $37 billion is stolen each year because of the financial exploitation of seniors, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Better regulation is needed for in-home care agencies. Some states do not have laws
requiring caregivers to be fingerprinted, background-checking and/or drug-tested! Who can you trust?

Agencies charge their clients $20-$30/hour but only pay caregivers $10-$12/hour.
Why would a caregiver want to take that job when they can get $15 per hour in a different industry?

Pretend With Me

Pretend With Me

One phone call was all it took to upend my entire life in completely unexpected ways.

Whoever said that you can’t go home again was a lair. After the senior year from hell, I had spent a decade trying to avoid Beacon Hill and its residents. My luck came to a sudden end after daddy had an incident with a rotted floor. In and out, I promised myself. I was just there to help my parents for a week or two tops.

Things in Beacon Hill hadn’t changed much since I’d been home last. Mama still worked at the hub of gossip known as Trixie’s, Mrs. Thomas still made the best chicken salad in all of Georgia, and my sister was still the devil in a pushup bra. And of course, the St. James family was still local royalty. Our very own version of the Kennedys.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that, not only is my sister back in town after a failed modeling career, she’s also engaged to Macon St. James. The golden boy of Beacon Hill, and the star of every single one of my teenage fantasies.

The biggest surprise of all was Holden St. James. I thought he would be one of the villains in this story, but I was learning that I had been wrong about a lot of things. And Holden just might be worth coming home for…. $4.99 on Kindle.
