Once upon a time there was a beast who dwelled in a mansion in the far outskirts of Chicago. Rarely did the beast leave his safe haven, for he'd given up on the outside world years ago. When the woman he has always loved is violently attacked, the beast must return to save her. Many see Bruce Maxwell as a beast, but to Nefertiti Townes, he is Prince Charming. After she is released from the hospital, she goes to the one place she feels safe-Maxwell Manor. Being under the protection of the man she loves should be a dream come true for Nefertiti, but their personal demons strive for a nightmare. As Nefertiti and Bruce fight their attraction for each other, they discover there was nothing random about the attack on Nefertiti. This title was originally released Dec. 2006

Two Full Length Novels Broken Promises (Women's Fiction): Matilda King and Johnny Ray Sloan came from successful families, were highly intelligent and had the same interest, yet could barely stand to be in the same room. Something happened over the summer, and the two were faced with commonality neither could ignore. They both had abusive home lives, wanted a “real family,” and were highly attracted to the other. The teens gave into their feelings and fell in love—then the real problems began. Problems that followed them into adulthood. Diamond In The Rough: An Ugly Duckling Tale (Traditional Romance): Jewel Swanson knows the music industry better than most. She won her first Grammy at the age ten. By the time she was twelve, she’d learned the darker side of the industry. The vain, shallow side that said she’d never fit the mold to be a true star. That she’d always be an ugly duckling. Record producer, Alex Deveraux, has been in love with Jewel since they were children and she went by the stage name Swansong. Alex understands Jewel’s apprehension with his industry, but won’t let it stop him. Will his love for her shine through the ugliness of the industry and capture her heart?
