When two small-town country dudes win the lottery, they finally find the courage to speak their truth.
An unexpected adventure follows.
Linwood “Woody” Robinson has a routine. He works for his baby brother in construction, buys three lottery tickets every week, and lusts after his best friend from high school. He’s done the same thing for twenty years.
Eddison “Eddie” Howard owns the only gas station in their small South Carolina town, sells lottery tickets, and lusts after his best friend from afar. They joke around but never speak their truth. He knows they’re cowards but can’t seem to find the courage to bridge the gulf between them.
And then they win eighty million dollars.
Life changes.
They go from never talking about their feelings to facing the world together.

The Generals’ house is full as Sam and Michael’s birthday (and other romantic surprises) approaches. Teagan’s visiting family is introduced to a world that’s quite different than their Kentucky horse ranch–one that contains miles of beautiful beaches, perfect weather, and a killer whale who has a mind of his own. The visit isn’t without its difficulties as Teagan’s over-critical father brings the young woman’s insecurities and pain to the surface. Seeing the love of his life in distress isn’t acceptable and Michael steps up to prove that he’s also her Knight in a shining Jag!
Little does anyone know that, as everyone enjoys the waves and warm sun, something terrible is happening deep in the trenches–and no one, except Sam, can fix it. Toxic waste and pollution settled in the canyons is threatening the survival of the endangered sharks, and the delicate balance of life. She’s called upon by the most unlikely source and dives headfirst into danger to answer a cry for help. Her compulsiveness not only lands her in a heap of trouble with her parents, but also with Ton. The orca’s fear for her safety results in his banning her from her ocean home and cutting her off from the pod. Feeling rejected and useless, Sam spirals into a dark, emotional place inside her mind–a place where the love of her family and Richard just isn’t enough to heal her brokeness. She needs acceptance, but can she trust them to embrace the truth of the changes happening inside of her?
As if the chaos of Teagan’s family isn’t enough, other factors enter Sam’s life that threaten to upset the precarious balance between her two worlds. With the talk of babies, Scott’s attraction to a certain colonel, an unwelcome invasion of distant relatives, and feeling responsible to protect the marine population, Sam finds herself cornered and trapped. Tired of being disciplined for acting true to her nature, she no longer knows where she belongs. Only one thing is clear- she can’t allow anyone, or anything, to suffer because of her, and makes a decision that demands a price that she knows will break her heart.
But nothing can break the bonds she shares with her family–both on land and in the sea. They teach her that, no matter how difficult life seems to be, they will be drawn together to unite under a common goal.

BDSM/AP lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange lifestyle.
Who am I?
I’m a native Californian gone ‘wild’, and had the opportunity to travel the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable characters.
In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving. Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.
My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time, I’ve devoted my ‘spare’ time to writing, researching, community involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.
I was formally ‘dungeon trained’ as a Domme before discovering my submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled primarily from either personal experience or observation, including spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on ‘the real deal.’
I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear), and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John can’t find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.

Only problem is the resort lost her luggage, including her passport, the chef had a family emergency on another island, and now a category four hurricane is barreling toward the island, and she has no way to get off.
It’s laughter and twenty questions for these two as they get lost in a vacation romance that leaves them both wishing for more. When a crisis has Amy rushing home and Rye in a tailspin for her safety, it will take a tragedy and a miracle to bring them back together.
Joanne DuPree had no reservations about following her best friend to Cricklewood Cove. How could she when Amy and her daughter Cammie were as close to family as she had left?
JT Williams has returned home to Celebration with his daughter to connect with old friends and start a new adventure. When JT and Deklan prepare to open their new art gallery together, the pieces quickly start falling into place.
From a whirlwind romance to a horrific accident, secrets and unexpected surprises, the characters of the Heart of the Family Series are making one final appearance as the last pieces of the puzzle are revealed, and the Montenegro children are once again reunited.
