Trope: Second Chance at Love

Release Date: December 8, 2023

BLURB

From USA Today Bestselling Author Melissa Toppen, comes a brand-new, contemporary romance that explores the complexities of loss and the captivating journey of embracing a second chance at love.

At twenty-six, I thought I knew exactly what my life would look like. Marry my fiancé, Blake. Buy a big house on the California coast and have a couple of kids. Everything was so clear, until my mom got sick, and then suddenly it wasn’t anymore.

In the span of one year, my entire life was different. My mom was gone. I had abruptly ended my engagement. And I found myself three thousand miles away from home, trying to reassemble the pieces of my life when none of them seemed to fit together anymore.

That’s when Remi came into the picture…

Gorgeous as they come, he blew in like a hurricane, shaking the very foundation beneath my feet. I had never met someone so unapologetically themselves. He was crass and witty. Sexy and fun. And boy could that man charm the robe off a nun.

His very presence warned me to stay away and yet drew me in all in the same breath. He was everything I wanted but shouldn’t—danger and desire wrapped up in one beautiful package. Trying to resist him was about as futile as trying to hold my breath for longer than a few seconds. Simply put, it wasn’t going to happen.

Giving in to a man like Remi is as effortless as breathing.

Falling in love with a man like Remi, on the other hand, is not quite so simple.

I guess matters of the heart never are…

The Space Between Your Heart & Mine is a standalone spinoff novel.

It can be read completely on its own or following The Space Between Duet—The Space Between Love & Hate and The Space Between Now & Forever.

#BookReview: We Have Always Been Who We Are by @sofiatromero

Synopsis: From Pushcart Prize–nominated author Sofia T. Romero comes a breathtaking debut collection of interrelated stories suffused with magical realism.

In stories that evoke the haunting beauty of New England beaches and resonate with a bittersweet loneliness, Romero blurs the lines between life and death, reality and fantasy. A deceased woman counsels her son’s fiancée on how to be a good wife to him, with disastrous consequences. A mysterious, commanding cat appears in a young woman’s home, as inexplicable as the demise of her years-long relationship with her boyfriend. At turns humorous, sorrowful, and whimsical, this collection spans the familiar setting of a college town supermarket to eerie dystopias that are not just post-pandemic, but post-art. Romero masterfully conveys the follies of youth and the regrets of life, and a sense of loss—of a relationship, a child, a time before—pervades each page.

With this remarkable debut, Romero joins the ranks of writers such as Brenda Peynado and Marytza K. Rubio, offering a superb collection of speculative fiction with a distinctly Latina perspective. We Have Always Been Who We Are is at its heart a testament to the power of storytelling, and an invitation to develop our inner strength through the imagination.

Don't be a statistic; be a success story!

 

48 Laws of Hustling: Don't Be A Statistic is a self-help business book about many young men who fall victim to the siren song of the streets, often glamourized through music videos and movies. The secrets of the streets can propel you to success in any entrepreneurial endeavor you undertake, even in corporate America and as a working class citizen. Ricky St. Julien, formerly known as the rapper Silk G. pulls back the covers of the game or hustling as it is widely known, in an effort to keep forthcoming generations from becoming a statistic.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics an article in the January, 2014 Huff Post Black Voices, “One in every three black males born today can expect to go to prison at some point in their life, compared with one in every six Latino males, and one in every 17 white males if current incarceration trends continue.”

Many of these young men fall victim to the siren song of the streets…Often glamorized through music videos and movies. The truth is, the streets have rules, and the failure to make it big in the game-whatever that game may be is directly tied to the failure to learn, understand, and maintain the rules.

In 48 Laws of Hustling, St. Julien, who has spent time as a guest in the prison system, pulls back the covers of the game, or hustling as it is widely known in an effort to keep forthcoming generations from becoming a statistic.
