A postcard sent from 1980’s South Florida. This fast-paced story shows beach life in it’s rawest form- beyond lighthearted tourists and Ne’er-do-wells and into the dark. Crime, passion, and psychotic behavior are painted across a beautiful back drop of swaying palms, white caps, and a bright, blue sky. The waves will always wash the blood away at the beach.

What would you do if someone you loved disappeared? What would you do if you were told they’d never existed? This most awful of nightmares comes true for Eva when her closest friend, Annie, vanishes. Even Annie’s parents deny her existence.

The uncertainty of the early months of 1939 has been eclipsed. Eva’s comfortable, normal small town life becomes despairing and desperate, until a friendly hand reaches out to her. The elderly and eccentric Lola shows no surprise at Eva’s tale. Neither does Gabe; young, handsome and distant. They have answers that lead to more questions, and information that leads to confusion. The pair guide Eva through a new and frightening world towards her beloved Annie. Eva is sure that her search has absorbed every part of her, until she realises how close she’s becoming to the mysterious but tender Gabe.

As Eva learns more about the hidden world now exposed to her, the depth of which seems infinite, she finds that people can be lost and all memory of them forsaken. Gabe and Lola are lost, just like Annie; but unlike Annie, no-one is looking for them to guide them home. Eva, now attached to Lola and deeply tied to Gabe, struggles to believe that nothing can be done to help them.

Eva’s search is littered with many things – doubt, discovery, love, belonging and a myriad of scary jigsaw pieces; lost friends, the giving of gifts, a library of books, a troubled conscience and a brilliant pianist. Can Eva piece it all together to see the picture or has she missed something? Does Eva find Annie? Will Gabe reveal his story and are his and Lola’s other lost friends a help or a hindrance?

And is there something crucially important that not one of them is telling Eva?

The sexual tension is palpable; the erotic path they’re on is inevitable.

Haylee Holloway has experienced more grief than a twenty-two year old should have to endure. When she moves to LA for a fresh start and takes a job as an assistant for an advertising company the last thing she expects is to have to step in last minute during a photo shoot as the model. Her bikini line and weight are suddenly open topics of discussion, and a client’s million dollar campaign is hanging in the balance. To cap it off, the multi-millionaire, gorgeous owner of the company shows up and takes charge.

Josh Singer, the owner of Gamble Advertising is private, intense, and hard to read. His voice is sexy, his eyes are smoldering and when he learns of Haylee’s goal to save money for law school, he makes her an offer she can’t refuse:

To move to New York City and work for him directly as his assistant.

Haylee’s dilemma: how does she travel the world with a hot boss whose voice alone conjures up an erotic fantasy and not completely make a fool of herself? Frustrated with Josh’s mixed signals, Haylee finally puts it all on the line. Blurring both their professional and personal lives can they keep things temporary as planned or will they both realize some things weren’t meant to end?

About the Author
Aubrey Bondurant loves to write, read and travel. She’s former military and lives on the East Coast with her husband and boys. She has an affinity for big drooly dogs and a great margarita!

When she isn’t working full time at her day job, she puts fingers to keyboard to craft a story. She had a goal to publish her first book before she turned the big 4-0 after writing for almost twenty years and having nearly thirty “unfinished” stories. She may have missed that by a tad, but has finally fulfilled that dream with Tell Me Something!

She loves the idea of an ending with each book and sequels for the intention of giving the supporting characters a story of their own and often calls her style of writing “Smutty Chick-Lit.”

About the Book
Wedding Tales continues the magic of the inspirational love story told in Mary Sullivan Esseff’s previous book, The Butterfly & The Snail. On January 29, 1966, as Rebecca Butler and Khalil Khoury exchange vows, an unexpected blizzard piles up snow so deep that it shuts down the East Coast for a week. Snowed in family members pass the time by sharing tales of why their ancestors emigrated to America. Wedding Tales, Book One: Love’s Journey contains stories of Rebecca’s German and Khalil’s Lebanese ancestors who underwent religious persecution, murder, and treachery that forced them to leave their homelands.

Wedding Tales, Book One: Love’s Journey provides stories of Rebecca and Khalil’s ancestors who overcome great hardships while they display courage and fortitude in the face of horrific events. In the late 1800s, Rebecca’s German ancestors experience murder and attempted rape by the son of a wealthy German nobleman. Khalil’s Lebanese forbears face massacre resulting from marauding renegade soldiers during the last years of the Ottoman Empire.

Despite how terribly they are injured, we learn how both sets of ancestors forgive those who wronged them. The ability to forgive their enemies seems almost miraculous. Is it this forgiveness that enables their ancestors’ to survive and grow as they face the inevitable hardships in their new lives in North America?

The account does not end here. In the sequel, Wedding Tales, Book Two: Honeymoon Caper resumes the suspense-building saga of Rebecca and Khalil on their honeymoon as well as the ongoing journeys of their predecessors’ journey to America. In Wedding Tales, Rebecca and Khalil display the strength and resiliency of their ancestors.

Although these events took place over a hundred years ago, the same issues are evident in the world today: the plight of immigrants fleeing from terror in their homelands, facing cultural differences in the new world, overcoming prejudice and intolerance, finding employment that pays a living wage, and more. Anyone who experiences intolerance or prejudice, whether as an immigrant or a native-born citizen, will identify with the struggles of Rebecca and Khalil and their ancestors. Readers are sure to gain invaluable insights from how the characters resolve and overcome adversities.

About the Book
Meet Emily Lynch, a hot-tempered, ex-Iraqi vet currently on suspension from the NYPD for hitting the booze too hard while on the job. She’s six-feet tall, rangy and strong, and has the looks of a runway model. But don’t tell her that unless your dental insurance is paid up. Impulsive, brash, brutally honest, and prone to use physical force when a clever question would get better results, she’s the polar opposite of elite private investigator, Frank Boff, legendary ex-DEA agent and world-class junk food aficionado.

When two people close to Lynch are brutally murdered, she can’t investigate their deaths because of her suspension, and so with great reluctance she teams up with Boff, for whom she has nothing but disdain. As they begin investigating the double murder, they discover that it’s just the tip of a massive conspiracy involving gunrunning, high-stakes poker games, a seriously weird string of assassinations, and caffeinated mobsters with short fuses and big guns.

Once again, private eye Frank Boff finds himself on his home turf, the Dark Side, where nothing is as it appears to be.

Constantly running into roadblocks of lies and deception, and twice the target of assassination, Boff and Lynch finally find common ground—seek and destroy the killers in an endgame scenario that gives new meaning to Boff’s code of doling out a punishment more just than mere justice.
