Broke Deep
Riptide
June 5th
Morgan Capell’s life is falling apart by small degrees—his father’s dead, his boyfriend dumped him, and his mother’s in the grip of dementia. His state of mind isn’t helped by his all-too-real recurring nightmare of the wreck of the Troilus, a two-hundred-year-old ship he’s been dreaming about since his teenage years. The story of the Troilus is interwoven with the Capell family history. When amateur historian Dominic Watson inveigles himself into seeing the ship’s timbers which make up part of Morgan’s home, they form a tentative but prickly friendship that keeps threatening to spark into something more romantic. Unexpectedly, Dominic discovers that one of the Troilus’s midshipman was rescued but subsequently might have been murdered,
and persuades Morgan to help him establish the truth. But the more they dig, the more vivid Morgan’s nightmares become, until he’s convinced he’s showing the first signs of dementia. It takes as much patience as Dominic possesses—and a fortuitous discovery in a loft—to bring light out of the darkness.

From early childhood, despite those who love her and want to protect her, Yvonne is forced to face difficult economic, personal and political circumstances, during a long, often bitter struggle.

An entertainer, he juggles and tumbles his way through life—but there is a serious side to him that runs deep. He offers Yolande an added strength in her work and opens his heart to her with a love such as she’s never known. But Yolande is not free to offer Geraint her love completely—not until her “time of seven” has passed. Can the powerful attraction between them withstand the powers of evil who mean to separate them forever?
Yolande’s conscience and conviction force her to face this evil head-on—but can Geraint save his Dark Maiden…

A Quest for Mr Darcy
Indie - paperback and eBook
White Soup Press
June 22nd
Struggling to overcome his rejection by Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy decides to go travelling in the summer of 1812, keen to distraction. He returns to England a year later, convinced he is over his foolish infatuation with the lady and with a plan, both to protect the estate of which he is guardian and to ensure his sister's happiness: he intends to do his duty and secure a wife at the earliest opportunity.
Duty; a path from which Darcy knows he should never have been diverted. Duty was safe and nothing would persuade him from it a second time. Soon restored to his home in Derbyshire, Darcy puts his quest in motion, preparing to welcome guests from Town, one of whom is a suitably eligible young lady he has earmarked as his future wife. But what of the new tenants on the estate named Bennet? Is his path fated to cross with Elizabeth's once more? Keeping his mind under good regulation and his quest intact is a far greater challenge than anticipated when Darcy discovers the truth of the matter. With the addition of his friend, Bingley's, mischievous twin younger
sisters, mysterious letters from a stranger and a shadowy lurking in the grounds of Pemberley, Darcy's carefully laid plans are soon in tatters as the rigid protection he has placed around his heart begins to falter.

I can't stop thanking Lord Zakuza for helping me bring back my girlfriend that left me for another man at her workplace.. I was shocked when she broke up with me and I needed help but everything I did to recover her back did not work. If not for the intervention of Lord Zakuza who I met online, I wouldn't have gotten back my girlfriend because Lord Zakuza prepared a love spell that brought her back to me within 48 hours. I love my girlfriend and I'm happy getting her back again. Thank you Lord Zakuza and I promise to share my experience with you to everybody so that anyone that needs help in any way can also get help too for you are a good and wonderful man that God has sent to help those who need help.. Here's his contact information just in case you need any help from him. WhatsApp/call number +1 (740) 573-9483 or Email: Lordzakuza7@gmail.com
