Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of June 3, 2015
1. Marrow by Tarryn Fisher: “Margo is not like other girls. She lives in a derelict neighborhood called the Bone, in a cursed house, with her cursed mother, who hasn’t spoken to her in over two years. She lives her days feeling invisible. It’s not until she develops a friendship with her wheelchair-bound neighbor, Judah Grant, that things begin to change. When neighborhood girl, seven-year-old Neveah Anthony, goes missing, Judah sets out to help Margo uncover what happened to her.”
2. Long Hard Ride by Lorelei James: “During summer break, wannabe wild woman Channing Kinkaid is offered the chance to shed her inhibitions and horse around on the road with a real chaps-and-spurs wearing rodeo cowboy.”
3. Love Will Find a Way by Barbara Freethy: “Rachel fell in love at nineteen with a man who came into her life on a whirlwind of sunlight and romance. She married Gary Tanner, had his son, and thought she would live happily ever after. But fate had other plans. Gary died in a tragic accident … at least she thought it was an accident. Now, there are questions that need to be answered, and only one man she can turn to, Gary’s best friend, Dylan.”
4. Bridenapped: The Alpha Chronicles by Georgette St. Clair: “Bridenapping? That old tradition where the Alpha grabs the bride of his choice and takes her back to his pack’s property to submit to his lustful demands? That’s so 19th century.”
5. Insatiable by J.D. Hawkins: “It’s not cocky when you’ve got the goods to back it up. Lust-maker. Pleasure giver. Fantasy creator. I can blow your mind in five seconds flat — but trust me, you’ll want this to last all night.”
6. Insatiable 2 by J.D. Hawkins: “It was supposed to be simple: I teach her a crash course in pleasure. No commitment. No strings. Now she’s found the perfect guy — and it’s not me. I should move on, but I need her. And I never back down from a fight.”
7. Boss: A Stepbrother Billionaire Romance: “It wasn’t enough that Kiegan Hunt had everything – ridiculously good looks, an enormous bank account balance and a name more famous in America than the Kennedys – he also had to make my teenage years a living hell.”
8. Rage: Fire and Steel Motorcycle Club Romance by Kaylee Song: “Layla moved a thousand miles to escape the brutality and vengeance of the club. Of the man who stole her heart. But she was forged in the club and she will never be as free as she believed…”
9. No Limit (Armed & Dangerous Book 1) by L.P. Dover: “Murder. Lies. Betrayal. I deal with those things every day. My name is Jason Avery, one of the best undercover agents in the country. I have yet to fail on a mission, which is why I’ve been sent to Vegas. Countless women have been abducted, tortured, only to show up dead in the middle of the night. It’s my job to find out which sick f*** is responsible.”
10. Just Say When by Kaylee Ryan: “Saving myself for marriage, not hardly. Saving myself for someone who will make my heart race, most definitely.”
