Fate & Fortune: Part One
By Robin Daniels
YA Contemporary Romance, Duology
ebook, 279 Pages
September 20th 2018
Bryce has liked Paige since they were little but has never had the guts to act on his feelings. Paige is devastated over being dumped by her long-time boyfriend and can’t seem to move on. They’re stuck in a rut, until fate decides to pull them out.
Both Paige and Bryce are talked into seeing a fortune teller at the annual Summer’s End Carnival. Neither of them buys into the mysticism, until the psychic’s predictions start coming true. Now, the most bizarre things are happening and there isn’t a clear explanation. Each of them must figure out if they’re the subject of an elaborate hoax or a bigger plan forged by destiny.
*This book is part one of two. Books should be read sequentially.
THE PLAYERS: Paige-The Heartbroken Heroine,
Eric-Paige’s Older Brother, Amy-Paige’s Best Friend, Jason-Paige’s Ex-boyfriend
Eric
studied me before throwing his hands in the air. “You’ve wasted your entire
break, Paige. Books, work, and the occasional TV show are not a vacation. I’ve been patient because I know how hard the
breakup was, but it’s time for reality. And reality means getting dressed and
coming to the carnival with us.”
I
shrieked. “I can’t go to the carnival. What if I run into Jason? I’ve spent the
whole summer avoiding him. I won’t blow it on the very last night.”
“What
happens when you see him at school?” Eric asked. I narrowed my eyes, frustrated
because he was right.
We lived
in a small northern Texas town—less than four thousand people—and we only had
two schools. The elementary school housed kindergarten through sixth grade, and
the secondary school had seventh through twelfth. The middle and high school
were in separate parts of the building, but for the most part everyone knew
everyone and there was no way to avoid anybody. This meant there was a 100
percent chance I’d have at least one class with Jason.
“He’s
got a point,” Amy said. “Wouldn’t you rather rip the Band-Aid off tonight, so
you can avoid a meltdown tomorrow?”
“Maybe I
could homeschool?” I suggested half-heartedly.
“If you
don’t come with us, he wins,” Eric chided.
Amy
nodded in agreement, then added, “You don’t even know if he’ll be there.”
“Yeah,
right,” I grumbled.

They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, but for notorious womanizer Arlo Jones, it's a case of not knowing what you want 'til it's standing in front of you. The moment he meets London, he realizes she's the piece of the puzzle he never knew was missing, but can't live without. He does everything he can to get her, but just as he thinks she's finally ready to give in to her feelings, he's reminded how empty his life was without her in it.
She thought she had a plan, until she met him.
They say the best-laid plans often go awry, and for aspiring photographer London Llwellyn, that's definitely the case when she falls for Arlo. That was never part of her plan. She tries her best to avoid being pulled into his vortex, but he manages to turn her head upside down and her heart inside out. Just as she thinks she's ready to commit to forever, she's reminded of the reasons she resisted him for so long.
He's pulling her closer. How long can she keep pushing him away?

revised edition celebrates the 10th anniversary of the author’s
first published novel.
When you lose a
loved one, whether it’s a relative, friend, or precious pet, you
wonder where that special soul has gone and if you will ever see him
or her again. For Dulcie Mills, Long Island computer programmer, the
answer may lie between a virtual world and the real one, between the
past and the present, between dreams and reality.
Addressing topics of
reincarnation and soul transfer in similar ways as Greg Iles’ Sleep
No More and Nora Roberts’ Midnight Bayou, Cloudy
Rainbow features an interesting mix of technology and the
paranormal and will also appeal to cat lovers.

play minor but interesting roles in the novel. The second Cobble Cove
Mystery, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" was released in
October 2016 by Solstice Publishing and a reprint of "A Stone's
Throw" with an additional chapter was published in March, 2017.

Hunches, horse races, and heartbreak
Ten years after Simone Payton broke his heart, all Roscoe Winston wants is a doughnut. He’d also like to forget her entirely, but that’s never going to happen. Roscoe Winston remembers everything—every look, every word, every single unrequited second—and the last thing he needs is another memory of Simone.
Unfortunately, after one chance encounter, Simone keeps popping up everywhere he happens to be . . .
Ten years after Roscoe Winston dropped out of her life, all Simone Payton wants is to exploit him. She’d also like some answers from her former best friend about why he ghosted her, but if she never gets those answers, that’s a-okay. Simone let go of the past a long time ago. Seriously, she has. She totally, totally has. She is definitely not still thinking about Roscoe. Nope. She’s more than happy to forget he exists.
But first, she needs just one teeny-tiny favor . . .
Dr. Strange Beard is a full-length romantic comedy novel, can be read as a stand-alone, and is the fifth book in the USA TODAY bestselling Winston Brothers series.
“Simone, this is not one of our adventures from when we were kids. This is not finding Blithe Tanner’s cat. These men are murderers, drug dealers, thieves.” “I know.” Boy oh boy, did I know. I didn’t want to be here anymore than he did. I was frightened. Yet allowing Roscoe to be taken on his own hadn’t been an option. “I can handle myself, and I can provide backup for you, if you need it.”Roscoe gripped my shoulders. “Nothing can happen to you, do you understand?” His words were emphatic, his gaze disoriented, desolate, frantic. “If anything happens to you, I’ll . . .” He swallowed, apparently unable to finish the sentence.My heart twisted to see him like this. I wished there were some way to show him what I could do, what I was capable of, so he would stop seeing me as a liability.Well, why can’t you?“Huh.”Now there was a thought. Stepping out of his grip, I walked backward to the other side of the room and took a deep breath. “Okay. Come at me.”He blinked. “What?”“I want you to come at me.”“Simone,” he seethed.“Come at me, bro.” I did that little movement with my fingers, my palm turned upwards. “Come at me or I’ll start singing again.”“I’m not doing this.”“Fine.”Frustrating. “I’ll come at you.”
