Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of July 15, 2015

1. Player by Joanna Blake: “James Fitzpatrick might have started out on the wrong side of the tracks, but his skills on the football field have brought him fame and glory. Now he’s forgotten where he came from.”

2. Paradise Falls by Abigail Graham: “For five years, I’ve lived in fear. No one will stop my stalker. Nobody can – his father is a senator. Alone and powerless, I couldn’t run, couldn’t hide, couldn’t escape. Then I met Jacob.”

3. The Allure of Julian Lefray by R.S. Grey: “Lily, you predictable perv. I knew you’d open this email faster if I tempted you with a glimpse of JT’s “PP”. Well, put your pants back on and grab some bubbly because I have much better news to share.”

4. Sinfully Mine by Kendall Ryan: “As my best friend’s little sister, Macey Hale was off-limits. Tempting as sin, and forbidden as fuck. I wish I could say that stopped me. I wish I could tell you I behaved like a gentleman.”

5. Constitution: Book 1 of the Legacy Fleet Trilogy by Nick Webb: “The year is 2650. 75 years ago, an alien fleet attacked Earth. Without warning. Without mercy. We were not prepared.”

6. Love the Way You Lie by Skye Warren: “‘ll do anything to be free. Except give him up. When he looks at me, I forget why I can’t have him. He’s beautiful and scarred. His body fits mine, filling the places where I’m hollow, rough where I am soft.”

7. Bleeding Love by Harper Sloan: “I’ve loved once. I gave everything that I had to that love. Blindly believing that nothing could ever take that feeling away from me. Away from us. And when my little world of happiness was ripped from my fingers, I felt a loss that still haunts me to this day.”

8. Sincerely, Carter by Whitney Gracia Williams: “Arizona Turner has been my best friend since fourth grade, even when we “hated” each other. We’ve been there for one another through first kisses, first “times,” and we’ve been each other’s constant when good relationships turned bad. (We even went to colleges that were minutes away from each other…).”

9. Insatiable: A Billionaire Romance by Lucy Lambert: “When Vaughn Ward sets his sights on a woman, she always ends up in his bed – crying out his name that night and cursing it the morning after. The billionaire playboy has an unquenchable thirst for sexual conquests.”

10. Coming Back by Emma South: “After being abducted and vanishing without a trace, she was presumed dead. But Christie isn’t the kind of girl that goes down without a fight. When she crawls out of the forest almost two years later, bruised and bleeding, she is confronted by a world that seems to have moved on and left her behind.”
