$25 Amazon-1-WW-House Beside the River-David Burnett Ends 5/1

Nicole purchases a house and many things about it makes her reminisce about her past life. Not all of it was good. Her best friend left her out to dry and she ended up being sent to a private girl's school far from home. It was there that she learned to be more then she ever was before and met a guy from the neighboring boy's school. They took computer classes together and became somewhat close. Nicole had sworn off men after what her best friend had done.

Years later, when she was in grad school one of her assignments was to hack into something--she choose the Dept of Agriculture. Suddenly the FBI was after her and after a bit of haggling she ended up working for them. She found out that her friend from the boy's school had recognized her work and gave them her name!

It was supposed to be a clerical type job but she found herself going undercover. It took her back to her hometown. Strange how Karma has a way of quietly making an appearance.

I really can't say anymore or will give it all away. This author always writes books that I so enjoy-I think I have read them all. Some of the subject matter is hard to swallow--but the wording makes it okay--he knows what he is doing!!

NEW RELEASE...
A coming-of-age novel with a strong heroine, a sweet love story, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. 

Running from vile rumors and merciless ridicule, thirteen-year-old Nicole Beaumont flees her home in Parsons Valley, Georgia. She leaves Chris behind, the boy who had been her best-friend-for-life, her soul mate, the one with whom she was supposed to spend her life, and she takes refuge at a boarding school in rural Pennsylvania. 

In the farming community in which she lived, almost any transgression could be tolerated, excused, or overlooked. Any transgression, save one that smacked of sex, and, according to rumor, that was exactly what she and Chris had done while lying on the bank of Parsons Pond. It was a lie, the worst part at any rate, but Chris̶ ̶ refused to deny the rumor. Never again, Nicole vows, will she trust another person as she had trusted Chris. 

Such vows can be difficult to keep, but Nicole perseveres. 

Then, she meets Richard. He seems different from the others. He accepts Nicole as she is. He keeps her secrets. When others doubt her, he stands in her defense. Nevertheless, even as they fall in love, the full story of what happened at Parsons Pond remains off-limits to him, and her memories of Chris, which tempt her, tugging her into the past, threaten to betray her.

Chris re-enters her life in a most unexpected way, and Nicole finds herself emmeshed in a deadly game that pits Chris, the boy she once loved, against Richard, the man who loves her, now, a game from which only one will emerge unscathed. Nicole faces an impossible decision. Which will she choose? Who will live? 

House Beside the River is a romantic, true-to-life coming-of-age novel featuring a violent culture, a strong woman, and a sweet ending. Buy House Beside the River today!
