Some things are worth risking the naughty list. Jonah Newfeld is not someone men fall for at a glance. They have to get to know him first. So when he meets the perfect man, he knows he needs to play the long game. Nathan Sharp is the newest guy on the customer service floor. He’s clever, kind, blessedly single, and volunteers weekends at a local animal shelter. Jonah wants to raise babies with him. But when Nathan’s sister starts trying to fix him up with her veterinarian, Jonah’s plan is put into jeopardy. Jonah needs the perfect plan if he wants to win over the man of his dreams. But a terrible plan will have to do, and more than a little help from his friends. If Jonah can pull it off and manage to get the boy, it’ll be more than worth being put on Santa’s naughty list for good.

Diary of a Sorority House Mom recount's Ann Caruso's first two years as house director for a female version of "Animal House," where the women of the house set and enforced their own rules. When the girls asked if they could recycle liquor bottles during their first meeting, she knew she was in trouble. Though the house director contract and manual mandated that Ms Caruso was responsible for the safety of the girls, she had no authority to carry out that task. There was no tab on the manual for "what happens if a drunk girl falls out of the third floor window, gets raped, or dies of alcohol poisoning." It was common to find kegs icing in the bathtub, bottles of alcohol used as room decorations, and when she asked the risk-management vice president if she wanted to know when a guy spent the night, her response was, "Why? Has someone complained." Diary of a Sorority House Mom will make you laugh out loud, and bring you to tears. It is sometimes hysterical, and at others disturbing or disguesting, but it was her life for two years. Her first sorority girls gave her eighteen of the happiest and six of the saddest months of her life. And for the most part, she wouldn't have changed a thing.

Tired of being the good girl, Amber decides to get down and dirty with Santa’s bikers. Happy Christmas to me: my boyfriend was cheating on me. No festive proposal this year, then. I was miles from home, with no flights available, on Christmas Eve. Damn. A sexy biker, Beau, offered me a ride to his house and I jumped on—tired of always doing the right thing. I'd done that, up until now, only to have my heart broken into so many pieces. Beau introduced me to his brothers, Adrian and Austin. The brothers wanted to do more than just a kiss under the mistletoe. I was happy to assist in so many filthy ways. It was as if our fun had ended as quickly as it had begun. I wanted more, but I was scared of admitting it and having my heart broken again... Author’s Note: This is a kinky stand-alone novella about a single mom who gets more than she bargained for on Christmas day. There is an HEA.

This is a simple story of the celebration of the life, the peaceful promise, and the lasting legacy of my dear grandmother Mary Jane, who taught without words that you cant put reins on a wandering spirit. An ambitious first novel [as rich in retrospection as it is in introspection] that serves as both a how-to guide for all those struggling to come to terms with their own shortcomings, and an arduous journey down the most difficult path of all: the path to ones self. This heartfelt personal narrative is a catalyst for change and an instrument of peace; but above all, it reminds us that love is boundless, even in the face of death. Jeremy Weimer, writer, poet, author of Plea Remembering Mary Jane represents a wonderful tribute to God, families, and life. While the author tells the reader that she is not writing the great American novel, she takes the reader through a series of memories that will make one laugh and cry. These memories include life lessons for learning empathy in the purest sense. From Thanksmas to a funeral, the experiences of this family show love, care, compassion, and Gods presence. A book you will be glad you read! Dr. Eugenia Badger, Indiana University, author of Metaphors, Beliefs, and Sayings About the Day of the Dead: A Cross-Cultural Comparison

Temptations are all around us; and facing those temptations is never easy, especially for teenagers.

Greed, pride, envy, and lust are challenges we all face; so understanding the spiritual implications of those temptations can help our youth thrive in their spiritual lives as they move into adulthood. The Groove: Temptation Student Journal provides exercises and daily devotions that help teens deal with the temptations they face as they learn to develop a maturing faith in Christ. The Groove Bible study series invites teens to learn the essentials of their faith, own their story, and engage the world in serving Jesus. Each topical study consists of four weekly sessions that are easy to lead and relate to life issues teens face. With up to 48 weeks available, Groove is great for Sunday and mid-week gatherings for both large and small groups as well as retreats. The leader guide contains everything needed to lead teens through a Groove study, including teaching outlines, leader notes, Bible background, reflections, and parent communication.
