Book Description
Jade has spent her entire life within the confines of the eye-color- obsessed Nirvana commune. She dreams of experiencing freedom but travel to the Outside is forbidden. Besides, she's a dutiful daughter who never breaks the rules. As her seventeenth birthday approaches, however, she realizes just how little she wants to follow the commune rules. She doesn't want to undergo another eye color surgery, or immediately choose a life partner, or follow her parents' life paths of teaching or wine making. In fact, her green eyes suit her just fine, she's never even been on a date, and she's passionate about photography. And yet she's resigned to do as she's told because it's easier for her to close her eyes and follow orders. Her Grandmother Ruby's murder is the catalyst that causes Jade to open her eyes wide for the first time in her life. She's devastated yet determined to find the killer and their motive. With help from her mysterious friend Tyrian, and Peaches, the commune leader's sweet daughter, Jade unearths dark secrets which include her mother's illicit affair, her maternal grandparents' escape from Nirvana, and a plethora of murders. To make matters worse, someone is hell bent on ending Jade's mission for the truth, and that someone is most likely the killer. Jade can't continue conforming to an evil society and yet she fears the Outside is just as corrupt. If she resolves to flee and is caught, the punishment is banishment to the slave cabins...and blinding. Although Jaded is considered a young adult dystopian novel, adults will be able to relate to Jade's plight.

Book Description
Jaded embodies the voices of people whose souls have been exhausted by cynical individuals in their lives. Love, like hate, is often irrational and can lead individuals to heroic and evil deeds. The characters all experience feelings of satiety, which manifest into an unconscious state of disillusionment. They all begin to accept the warped world that surrounds them, expressing a surfeit of apathy. These characters have become uncomfortably full with self-hate and are all in search of a release from this overindulgence. The voices echo those of people you may have encountered closely or from a distance in your own life. Through an analytical eye, the characters have become human and struggle to find self-love in the midst of all their chaos. Do not judge them. Simply listen to their stories, hear their cries, and walk with them down the path of healing and self-discovery. Separate stories that are all connected. Each individual voice filters into the other, creating one loud cacophonous roar.

Still a virgin, Tyler is confused when he feels an attraction to the larger man. Roland is unlike anyone he’s ever met and he makes Tyler feel things he doesn’t understand. When he confides in Roland about his past, the truth hits closer to home than either man could have imagined. With Roland beside him, Tyler is willing to do anything to help build the case. Together, they are determined not to let any more children suffer the same fate. Will Roland and Tyler escape the past and find a future together?

Book Description
If the only way to stay alive was to convince your new husband not to murder you and make it look like an accident, could you do it?
At eighteen, Jade shouldn’t have to be forced to marry the son of her father’s enemy as part of a revenge plot for a failed rebellion. When she’s thrown into the life of being the wife of the Commander’s son and heir, her only hope for survival is convincing Roan Diamond to actually fall in love with her so that he doesn’t kill her on his father’s wishes.
While a dutiful son, Roan shouldn’t have to trick his new wife into believing his family accepts her, but as the only one in a position to make the country believe Jade is part of their family, he will do what he has to before his family murders his young bride and makes it look like an accident to get back at Jade’s father.
With half the country trying to protect Jade and the other half oblivious to the atrocities committed at the Commander’s hand, it’s a race to see who will win at a deadly game of cat and mouse.
One chooses life. One chooses death. In the midst of chaos, only one will succeed.
The first book in the Jaded Duology has been called the “YA Dystopian Mr. and Mrs. Smith” by authors and is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Selection.
Warning: The emotional roller coaster in this book has caused fans to create actual emotional support groups after reading this dangerously exciting book.

Book Description
This is a true story of a woman whose eccentric and bohemian existence led her down a path of abuse and exploitation, by not only the men in her life whom she loved and adored, but the bureaucratic system that she trusted and depended on for justice. It's about the loss of her life with her children, to the creation of a new life with another and her fight to keep it. Was it fate, destiny or karma that caused all of the events that took place, or was it just a series of bad choices that she made in her life? Perhaps it was a combination of everything from her family to the environment she was exposed to at an early age. Her story is told by her cousin, Randy, whose fascination with Alisha's history has led him to the writing of this provocative biography. Some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Book Description
JADED LOVER Part I Book 2 in the Whodunnit Series Murder Mystery Things are getting' heavy, and I'm traveling light, Goodbye you Jaded Lover you undercover queen for a day. --- Jerry Jeff Walker In this love quadrangle, genealogy plays a vital role in wealth versus the poor and sex versus love. Mix in a hint of whodunnit in the murder of one of the characters, and you have a two-volume set of trying to catch the killer and figure out the hidden skeletons in the closet. Everyone loves a love triangle, especially when it's two triangles that come together at the same time, just as long as they are not part of it. Obviously, it's the other characters' drama that makes us feel better about our own lives. In this moving story of mystery and intrigue, there's so much for the reader to find in the conflict and resolutions of the cutthroat dealings of what were thought once to be best friends. The setting of this novel take place along the west coast of the United States in Black Rock Cove, Oregon. The main characters come from three wealthy families, one to the north, one to the south, and one right along the coastline in downtown Black Rock Cove. The year is 1882. Reggie Scott is in love with Julia Esser and was one day away from marrying the wealthy young woman, heir to the largest estate on the west coast in Oregon. They have both been promised to one another since they were very young children. However, Reggie didn't know until one day before the wedding, his best friend and best man dug up a frightening mystery of his past. He used it against him to try and steal Julia, the woman he loved, and make her his own. Overnight Reggie left on the midnight train to travel to New Orleans to find out the truth of this mystery. He needed to know and couldn't bear letting anyone in on this mysterious past he possessed. Streaming tears cleansed Julia's red cheeks the day she was left standing at the altar. Her vision was blurred with waves of sadness. The salty tears flowed into her mouth so that she could taste her own sorrow. Why did Reggie not call or show up for the wedding? Where did he go? Would he ever return? Julia experienced bitter and unforgiving pain in her heart. Best Man, Marco Ross and his twin sister, Angie, conspired to win the hearts of Julia and Reggie. In our story, conflict is a vital ingredient. Relationships are flat without it. Love triangles are beyond any doubt dull without it. However, in this two-volume set of THE WHODUNNIT SERIES, there's positively a struggle, discomfort, a lot of inner-strife, and maybe a murder or two!
