From USA Today Bestselling Author, Christina Hovland, comes a fake relationship, one-bed trope romantic comedy. Lucy's national news ambitions are derailed when a dangerous fan forces her into hiding in small town Colorado. Her new role behind the scenes is supposed to keep her under the radar. It’s definitely not supposed to rekindle a teenage crush on William—a disgraced reality TV star returning to salvage his family's media empire. Undercover as a consumer reporter, William’s spotted something that’s not quite right with Lucy. He doesn’t remember her from their time on the reality TV show. But he does know that she’s hiding something, and a hidden camera honeymoon exposé provides the perfect cover to investigate her secrets. Security, however, is the last thing on their minds when seduction leads to a game of Confessions that threatens to expose them both. Can a relationship that started as a sham survive when the cameras stop rolling?

Three flight attendants--Whitney, a single parent dealing with her drug-addicted mother; Eddie, a married man struggling with his sexuality; and Roxy, a promiscuous survivor of sexual abuse torn between two lovers--share their personal experiences both in and out of flight. Original.

Over the past decade Rome has been marked with sharp, and often unwarranted, criticism of the Church in the United States and American Catholic life. But very few of the critics have taken the time to talk, systematically, with a wide range of U.S. Catholics to understand their concerns. True Confessions is unique for its frank and in-depth interviews with 103 bishops, clergy, religious, and lay men and women from various backgrounds over a 17-month period, December 2020 through May 2022. The wide-ranging subject matter includes the unseen challenges of life as a bishop; the pressures and satisfactions of the priesthood, the diaconate, and the consecrated life; the structural and leadership ingredients of diocesan success and failure; fallout from the Church' sex-abuse scandals; problems in Catholic universities; attitudes toward the Vatican; the role of Catholics in the academy and the secular culture; the witness of parents who have children with special needs; and the testimony of immigrant Americans as they assess their new homeland. Finally, the book presents the reasons why so many U.S. Catholics, despite today's challenges, continue to love the Church and cherish their faith with joy and energy.

They arrive alive. They always leave dead. But first, they give me their confessions. My name is Jack Steen. That name shouldn’t mean anything to you, unless you’re about to die - and then I’m your bloody guardian angel. I work as a night nurse in the Asylum for the Criminally Insane. I offer my patients a deal: in exchange for an easy death, I want their story. Not the one anyone can read about in the papers, I want the real story - the one they haven't told anyone else. Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, some kept certain information to themselves...those are the stories I want. If they give them to me, I'll make their death...easier. They're already dying, that's why they're now my patients. If they play nice, I can make their death less painful. My name is the only real name you’ll find in this book. I won’t tell you which Asylum I work at. I won’t tell you the names of those dying. But I won’t lie to you. You’ll read exactly what I’m told. If you’re smart, if you’re deranged enough to read between the lines, you’ll know who is telling the story. The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. Now, maybe they're messing with yours too. Inside this book are 4 confessions: Patient 424 is a father who wanted to protect his little girl. Patient 1001 is a pig farmer who never should have had children. Patient 523 wants you to believe he's the brother of a mob boss. Patient 983 would argue she should receive the Mother of the Year award. WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers, and such, so what do you expect?
