We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

Maids don’t ever get to go to the ball… do they? Jace Connors: Stretched thin from running a business and organizing a wedding, the last thing Jace needs is the world’s most eligible bachelorettes trying to sneak their way into his bed. When he meets Ella grooming the inn’s horses, though, she leaves him breathless. Jace knows that he can’t let her get away… Ella McDaniels: What starts as an almost-kiss in the barn ends up captivating Ella, even though she knows that the richly dressed Jace is out of her league. However, when he keeps showing up wherever she is, her attraction to him grows. And if she can outwit her wicked stepmother, she just might be able to dance with him at the wedding reception ball. There’s only one problem… What if Jace is actually the groom?

My mother-in-law, Barbara Morris, insisted that a load-bearing wall was blocking our home's good energy. She even hired someone to tear it down for a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window. The contractor, Peter Stone, kept refusing. "Ma'am, we really can't do this. If we take this wall down, the whole building will collapse." In my past life, I fought desperately to stop them, even getting on my knees and begging them not to touch this wall that held the entire building together. My husband, Tom Williams, thought I was embarrassing him. He slapped me so hard that my left ear went deaf, and he forced them to demolish the wall anyway. That night, the entire building suffered a catastrophic structural failure. I was trapped under the rubble for seven days and nights with ruptured internal organs. Right before I died, I heard Tom shouting at the rescue team. "Save my mom first! That other woman has insurance. If she dies, we'll get the payout and buy a new place!" At that moment, the resentment inside me hardened. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment when the construction crew had just arrived. Looking at that thick load-bearing wall and Tom's hand about to rise up and strike me, I smiled and handed him the eighty-pound sledgehammer nearby. I said, "Mom's absolutely right. Once we knock down this wall, our place will turn into a luxurious river-view apartment. Anyone who tries to stop us is a complete idiot."

"How much did Ashley pay you for that night?" "Who's Ashley?" William asked. "I... I mean... the woman who paid you and asked you to sleep with me that night." William turned his head and looked at Valeria emotionless, "I don't get it. What the hell are you thinking about?" William was speechless. How could there be such a handsome and rich pimp like him in the world? ****************************** "Valeria Brown was the only daughter of the Brown family, which was rather rich. But her bestie Ashley and Ashley's mom planned to take everything from her. Also, Mason, who had been dated with Valeria for four years, cheated on her. Valeria caught Mason making out with Ashley in the car! But Ashley never felt ashamed, instead, she drugged Valeria and asked a pimp to take her virginity. A stranger saw through all of this and chased the pimp away. Valeria woke up and found this hot stranger lying next to her. She was annoyed when Ashley told her that man was the pimp. But actually, this stranger who got rid of the pimp and slept with Valeria was the richest CEO..."

Daisy thought Dominic was just a colleague sharing the same fate, a low level employee who was constantly bullied alongside her, belittled for being poor, and burdened with an overwhelming amount of work. However, when an area manager attempted to harass Daisy, Dominic took a reckless stand. He took down the manager without a hint of fear, leaving the man helpless. “You bastard! I’m going to destroy you!” Dominic growled, his gaze radiating pure authority. Daisy was certain their careers would end that very day. But she was dead wrong. A miracle occurred when the entire board of directors suddenly knelt before Dominic. Who exactly was the man who had been going undercover by her side all along?

They told us shadow was evil. They said light was the only thing that kept us safe. For four hundred years, Luminara has lived by that lie. The Order rules, fear keeps everyone in line, and no one dares ask why the winters are getting longer, the crops are failing, and the moon itself is starting to fade. Elara never thought she’d be the one to question it all. She’s just a girl with an old brass locket the only thing her mother left behind when she vanished years ago. But when the locket starts humming, and a figure made of dark and starlight steps out of the trees, everything she knows turns upside down. His name is Kaelen. He’s the guardian they’ve spent centuries hunting. And he tells her the truth no one is allowed to speak: Light can’t live without shadow. Break the balance, and the whole world dies. Now Elara is running hunted by the Order’s cruel leader, Valerius, who wants to steal the locket’s power and rule forever. She’s chased by Morgrath, a twisted shadow who offers her something terrifying: total control, no more fear, no more running. And deep beneath the mountains, something older than both light and dark is waking up something that could remake everything… or unmake it all. Elara came looking for answers about her mother. Instead, she found the fate of the whole world resting in her hands. Will she bring light and shadow back together? Or will she reach for the kind of power that never lets go?
