On stage, Tish Ransome
sings about heartache and passion, betrayal, and about love gone wrong…
but she knows very little about any of it in real life. The rockstar
princess who swears like a pirate—literally—is loved and adored by
family, friends, and fans alike, and her world is filled with good
things, her future bright. Behind the scenes, however, trouble is
brewing. When Tom, her best friend and co-founder of the Marauders,
tells her he's leaving the band after graduation, Tish must find a new
wingman to step into Tom's hard-to-fill shoes. The moment she hears
Sebastian Jeffries play, she knows he's the one. Yet with Sebastian
comes a taste of the things Tish only writes about, and she can't resist
the lure of the tortured artist. Sebastian, likewise, is drawn to
Tish's brilliance, but like a moth that hovers too close to the flames,
is he killing himself just to be near her? Can Tish save Sebastian
before it's too late, or will he pull her down into the darkness with
him?
My first encounter with Sebastian Jeffries was in Mr. Hyde’s Music
Theory III class. It was the only night class on my schedule, but I
still knew most of the other students in the room since this was my
third year at Mid-U. So when Sebastian slipped in a few minutes
before seven PM about two weeks into the semester, I noticed. We all
did. He dipped his head once at Mr. Hyde who greeted him likewise,
and the class went momentarily silent, openly watching him make his
way to a seat. I couldn’t speak for anyone else, but my silence was
due to appreciation. It was almost February and it was cold, even for
Southern California, but in spite of the bulky layers he wore, I
could tell he was a big guy. Almost as big as Tom, in fact. That
alone was enough to get my attention. If I took a deep breath and
held it, I didn’t quite hit 5’1” at the doctor’s office, so I
was probably hyper-aware of tall people. But add in the Elvis Presley
coif with the chunk of hair that kept falling over his left eye,
coupled with the whole Judd Nelson/John Bender/Breakfast Club perusal
of the room from the back row? I was totally into that. When our eyes
met, I gave him a half-smile by way of greeting, but I did my best to
send an invitation with my eyes. I’d like to get to know you,
Mr. New Guy.
Mr. New Guy didn’t smile back, but he didn’t look away first.

All The Way To Heaven (Fallout Series Book One)
Anica Tomlin, business
major, has just learned that the man she's been planning her future
around, her Global Finance professor, already has a beautiful wife and
family. Ani cashes in her graduation gift to herself a little early a
trip to Tuscany but from the moment she boards the wrong train in Pisa,
her plans for solitude and self-indulgence begin to unravel around her.
When
a bicycle accident thrusts Ani into the skilled hands of the dashing
Dr. Cosimo Lazzaro, she reluctantly accepts his invitation to recover in
his family's country villa, perched on a hilltop surrounded by the
Lazzaro olive groves. But it's been a black year for olive growers all
over Italy, and generations of tradition are being put to the test like
never before.
Ani is swept up in the drama of life in Tuscany,
the convergence of old and new, and the passions that drive people to
pursue the desires of their hearts. Just as Ani begins to get her feet
under her again, an unexpected turn of events leaves her doubting the
very existence of happily-ever-after, unless she can learn to trust the
desires of her own heart.

About The Author:
Becky Doughty is the author of the award-winning Elderberry Croft
series and the voice behind BraveHeart Audiobooks. “I write fiction,
mainly because nonfiction is hard! Yes, I’ve tried. Let’s just say I
like to color outside the lines when it comes to sticking to facts…or
anything else, for that matter. I write Women’s Fiction with strong
elements of romance and Young Adult/New Adult Fiction. Some of my
fiction is written from a Christian worldview (and labeled as such), and
some of it is not. My stories, however, are all categorically “clean”
or “sweet” (light on language, violence, and sex), so if you’re looking
for a book you don’t have to shove under the couch cushion when visitors
stop by, you’ve come to the right place!”
You can learn more about Becky and her books on her website: www.BeckyDoughty.com Becky is married to her champion of more than 25 years. They have
three children, two of whom are grown and starting families of their
own, and they all live within a few miles of each other in Southern
California. They share their lives with too many animals, a large
vegetable garden, and a strange underground concrete room they’re
certain was built for dark and sinister purposes…
