Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of September 2, 2015
1. Hawk by Abigail Graham: “Six years ago, he disappeared. No calls, no texts, not even a postcard. Suddenly he’s back- bigger, badder, and cockier than ever. I want his massive arms wrapped around me. I want him in my bed each time he gives me that smirk. Every time he touches me, I’m ready for him to pin me to the wall and make me scream.”
2. Capture by Rachel Van Dyken: “Dani lives anything but a normal life. Her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Her best friends are rockstar duo AD2. And she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime. But that doesn’t change the fact their parents are dead. Or that it’s her fault.”
3. Luke: A West Bend Saints Romance by Sabrina Paige: “There are three things in life I’m damn good at: f**king, jumping out of planes, and chasing forest fires. Settle down? With someone like Autumn Mayburn? Forget it. She’s uptight, smart-mouthed, and hell, she has a kid. She’s ten years older than me.”
4. Hold On by Kristen Ashley: “Since she was young, Cher Rivers knew she was not the kind of girl who got what she wanted. A girl who could hope. A girl who could dream. She knew a happily ever after just wasn’t in the cards for her.”
5. Cocky Bastard by Penelope Ward: “He was someone who belonged in my wildest fantasies instead of a rest stop in the middle of Nebraska. A sexy, cocky, Australian named Chance was the last person I expected to run into on my cross-country drive.”
6. Gray Back Ghost Bear by T.S. Joyce: “Georgia Ames is a tough-as-nails park ranger hired to protect the mountains where three crews of registered bear shifters call home. The only problem is she’s terrified of bears after a year in Alaska going head-to-head with the notoriously aggressive Kodiak grizzlies.”
7. Claiming Crusher by Jordan Marie: “The moment I saw her I knew I was in trouble. I just didn’t care. Once I knock down her walls and get a taste, I know she’s it. I’ll have her and no one will get in my way—-not even my club. She’s trying to run. That won’t happen. I’ll use whatever I can just to keep her.”
8. Hell Bent by Emma Fawkes: “I’m stuck as the Best Man in my best friend’s wedding and I’d do anything to get out of it. I know the Maid of Honor is going to be a some cheap skank and I’ll be trapped with her all weekend.”
9. Four Week Fiance by Helen Cooper: “What if it was the offer of a lifetime? The sort of offer that would make you blush as he offered you whatever you wanted to make you accept. What if the offers were so spicy, so naughty, so scandalous that you wouldn’t even want to tell your best friend?”
10. Big Strong Bear by Terry Bolryder: “Cassie is in trouble, and the only person that can help her is the last person that she wants to ask. Her ex-lover, Hades. Sure, he may be tall, huge, handsome, and deadly, but the man she waited for while he served in the Special Forces hasn’t been the same since he came back, and has done nothing but avoid her ever since.”
