Spotlight: The Bridges I've Burned by J.L. Berg

/

Genre: Small Town Rockstar Romance

On the cusp of stardom, she was the twist I never saw coming...

On my eighteenth birthday, I ran away from home in search of a better life. Ever since, I've been trying to prove it was worth it. When I'm asked to join one of the biggest rock bands in the country, it finally feels like everything is falling into place.

That is, until I receive a wedding invitation from my estranged brother, Macon. We haven't seen each other in over ten years for a reason, and returning to Ocracoke is the last thing I want to do.

Less than an hour off the ferry, I stumble into a bar and meet her. She's gorgeous and easy to talk to, and we bond over music. Before I get the chance to learn her name, she ghosts me.

Imagine my surprise when I arrive at Macon’s house the next day, only to find her answering the door. It turns out my mystery woman is Elena, the best friend of Macon's fiancée – and my temporary roommate for the next three weeks.

Talk about complicated.

I've never wanted a woman more, but the odds are against us. We live on opposite sides of the country, both with demanding careers. Oh, and the biggest problem? I'm about to be famous and I can't tell anyone.

Not even Elena.

I’ve been working my entire life to get to this moment, but I can’t help but wonder... will any of it be worth it without her?

Cover Reveal: The Secrets We Keep by J.L. Berg

/

Release Date: February 20 

Living in Ocracoke was a dream come true—until my husband died. I haven't set foot on that island since. It's been five years, and I thought I had moved on. But when my boyfriend suddenly drops to one knee, it’s the only place I want to be.

I thought I was there to say goodbye, but I found him instead.

Macon Green is an arrogant small-town cop with quite a reputation. When I find his ex-wife publicly humiliating him, I can’t help but intervene. I slide my hand into his, and just like that, we’re dating.

It wasn’t supposed to be real. And I definitely wasn’t supposed to stay. Yet, the more we pretend, the more it starts to feel undeniably... right.

Perhaps this is where I was supposed to be all along.

Spotlight: Within These Walls by J.L. Berg

About WITHIN THESE WALLS

 Within these walls, he became my solace, my sanctuary and my strength. 

 I am not strong.  I am just a survivor of circumstance.

Isn’t that what we all do?  Survive?

Each of us has our own set of circumstances to muddle through.  Mine are just more…complicated.

Born with a severe heart defect, I’ve seen the inside of a hospital room more than my own bedroom.

I was drowning, a prisoner to the illness that owned me, until he appeared.  He thinks he’s blocked out the world with his tattoos and hard exterior, but I see the real Jude, the one he so desperately wants to forget.

But is he the answer to my prayers or will he break my already damaged heart forever?

My name is Lailah Buchanan, and this is our story of hope, redemption and sacrificing it all for the one you love.

With one pudding cup snug in my pocket, I was the epitome of stealth.

I slipped through the door quietly, ignoring the fact that I looked like a creepy stalker, and I stepped into the darkened room like I had a purpose.

I did work here, so there could be a dozen reasons for me entering a patient’s room.

Delivering a fudge snack pack was probably not one of them.

Like the many times before, I tried not to linger as I entered the room, but with each passing visit, it became more and more difficult.

The first night I’d decided to do this, I’d quickly done this drop-and-dash routine. I had gone in and out without a second glance.

But then, I’d met her. I’d come to her room and found myself face-to-face with the girl behind my late-night pudding runs. She was shy and timid, her gestures clumsy and unpracticed. She was so different from the polished and sophisticated girls I’d grown up with. Even her name was awkward. It sounded like the classic Eric Clapton song “Layla,” but hers was spelled all wrong.

She had made me curious. I’d suddenly wanted to know what else in this world would make her smile.
