The Selection meets Throne of Glass in this dark and twisted tale of a deadly bridal competition for the hand of a mysterious shadow king.It is said that the Neverseen King comes for a bride every hundred years. I thought it was only legend . . . until he came for me.I am one of twelve assassins forced to compete for the hand of our unseen king, who I'm beginning to doubt is even human at all.Why he needs a bride, much less one who wields a blade, isn't any of my business. All I'm trying to do is get out of here with my life and my heart intact. I don't want to care about the mysteries I begin uncovering about the king, about why he never shows his face, about his palace that turns into a nightmare after dusk. I'm just trying to escape. But apparently, my choice is to win this competition or die.I'm not dying.And I'm definitely not falling in love with the Neverseen King.The Assassin Bride is the first in series fantasy romance of an assassin and her Neverseen King, perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Sylvia Mercedes, and Elise Kova who love dark, swoon-worthy heroes and a sweet (not steamy) slow-burn romance.
"This book is unique in the way each section is based upon a prompt and offers the reader an interactive space to reflect on their own experiences with the prompt. Through our Eyes provides a platform for poets to write about difficult topics like trauma and PTSD. Topics we often hold as secrets behind pursued lips. We want to speak, but. This book also passively encourages readers to speak their own experiences. Through Our Eyes is more than a book you read, it is a book you have a conversation with." - John Hinton, Poet, Author and President of Poetry Society of Indiana "This is a book unlike any I've seen. It holds pain, triumph, joy, and repair for oneself, siblings, parents, friends, and more from less than 20 contributors. If that sounds intense, that's because it is. Courtenay helps readers release their memories through writing making each copy of this book not only unique but restorative. Anyone suffering from PTSD from any source should consider buying and using this book." - Marilyn Wolf, author of In Celebration of the Death of Faeries "Courtenay and Travis have compiled a safe oasis for anyone fortunate to find its pages. Not only does the poetry within take one from the depths of the writers' agonizing battles with PTSD, it also shines a light on the healing that is possible. A surprising feature of Through Our Eyes offers writing prompts that provide the reader with the open invitation for healing their own PTSD that will no doubt prove priceless to any of those ready to explore and release the pain they carry." - Thom Alexander, poet Contributing Poets - Robert Willoughby, Amarin Trichanh, Alys Caviness-Gober, Sarah Cope, Mary Couch, Bill Cushing, Paul Gilliland, Kim Gwinner, Derrick Iozzio, Chris Hasara, Lon Hodge, Larry Murley, Gloria Nesloney, Courtenay Nold, Teresa Pruitt, Kate VerSluis, and Marilyn Wolf.

This isn't the part of the story where the princess gets the prince. This is the part where she gets locked in the tower. THE PROPOSAL: (Book 1) Livia wants to get married. She's tired of men stringing her along into being their forever girlfriend, so she decides to build a rotating harem and ruthlessly eliminate any man who fails to give her what she needs. But when the three men in her current dating rotation all know each other and decide they're all taking her, will she be played once again? THE SACRIFICE (Book 2) Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Macy caught the bouquet at Livia's wedding and now finds herself engaged to William, a nice enough man she knew from college, but she isn't attracted to him. And either way, Colin Black is about to turn her world upside down when he accepts her as payment for Livia's husband's debt. She's now the sacrifice. Maybe that wedding won't happen after all. "Every time a new Kitty Thomas book comes our I think she cannot top the last story and once again I am wrong!" - Kelly, Goodreads. "Colin was HOT. He oozed that strong quiet power that I adore. He was ruthless and powerful yet he was so careful with Macy, it's a combination I love. 5 Sacrificial Stars!" - Charlie, Goodreads reader
Humility is the way to God's heart. Passage after passage in Scripture makes this truth clear. The proud find the door closed to his inner sanctum, but those who demonstrate humility are welcomed there again and again. By some measures of performance, the former group may outshine the latter but never mind. God does not receive us on the basis of performance. He receives us on the basis of heart, and no quality of heart is more important to him than humility.In this book, Thomas Jones and Michael Fontenot, long-time friends, combine their efforts to show how humility is at the heart of true spirituality and how it must be found in all relationships and in all circumstances.
This book is designed as a 7-week spiritual journey that will walk you through the heart of God's purpose for humanity, our mission and task as God's people, and what we need to do to share God's heart for his creation.

In Cheers to the Ones Who Raised Us! we pay homage to the individuals who love(d) us unconditionally, took care of us and taught us about life and living. "Growing up in a two-parent home was such a blessing. I didn't realize how much until I became a single parent. While writing Life According to the Busy Single Parent I decided I wanted to write a book celebrating those who had parents, or someone else who raised them in a safe environment. I first shared this idea with my dad and he liked it. I then shared it with my mom and she and my dad started sharing stories that they wanted in the book. Unbeknownst to me, my dad would not be alive when the book published. Knowing my dad would be happy that 'Ms. Busy Lady', as he affectionately called me, continued the vision of having this book published to honor him, my mother and all the other wonderful parent(s) that are being honored in "Cheers to the Ones Who Raised Us!" allowed us to press forward to tell their stories."
