"What is heaven really like? A recently departed soul speaks from heaven about his experiences on the other side. The unseen author of this book tells us of life’s true purpose and urges us to make the most of our sojourn on earth. He warns us that we are fast approaching a turning point, which could lead to an age of enlightenment and peace or to a future none of us wants to see. If we act now, we can still turn things around...but we need help from heaven. “I have witnessed so many beautiful and amazing events on this side. However, I believe that my greatest opportunity is to urge you to see what you have, where the planet is headed without intervention and how you can make a difference.... I feel an urgency to help people recognize the signs of the times.” This story of a soul’s life after death will change the way you look at life—and death."

FROM POPULAR ROMANCE AUTHOR AURORA RUSSELL Veronica's new job comes with a darling little boy, a Gothic castle and...a beast? When recently laid-off Francophile Veronica Carson is recommended for an au pair job by the elegant leader of her French conversation group, she isn't sure what to expect—but a Gothic castle deep in the wilds of Maine is certainly not it. Still, she's drawn in by her joyful little charge, Jean-Philippe, and even more drawn to his brooding father. Ruthlessly successful businessman Alain Reynard has loved before and has no wish to repeat the painful experience. The tragedy of his recent past is still fresh in his mind, and he wants nothing to do with his son's lovely new au pair. Despite his best efforts, though, he can't seem to get her off his mind. A passionate romance begins to blossom but is put to the test when painful reminders of Alain's past return. As ugly rumors swirl, the truths of the past and the present collide. Veronica must decide if Alain really is a beast and, if so, whether she can love him enough to break through the dark memories and secrets that tether him to what once was.

The perfect wife and mother finds the perfect temptation in this "perfect summer cocktail of sex, sun, and scandal" (Kirkus Reviews). Claire has a problem with setting limits. All her life she has taken on every responsibility, assumed every burden, granted every request. Claire wants it all—and in the eyes of her friends, she has it: a devoted husband, four beautiful children, even a successful career as an artist. So when she agrees to chair the committee for Nantucket's social event of the year, she knows she can handle it. Claire can handle anything. But when planning the gala propels her into the orbit of billionaire Lock Dixon, unexpected sparks begin to fly. Lock insists on working closely with Claire—often over a bottle of wine—and before long she can't ignore the subtle touches and lingering looks. To her surprise, she can't ignore how they make her feel, either. Claire finds the gala, her life, and herself spinning out of control. A Summer Affair captures the love, loss, and limbo of an illicit romance and unchecked passion as it takes us on a brave and breathless journey into the heart of one modern woman.
