Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of October 14, 2015
1. Bad Boy Daddy by Chance Carter: “The first time I saw Jackson, I hated his guts. He was everything I could never have. Pure, panty-wetting, manhood. And I was trapped in a loveless relationship with his worst enemy. I never would have dreamed he craved my womb so badly he was willing to do anything for it.”
2. The Air He Breathes by Brittany Cherry: “I was warned about Tristan Cole. “Stay away from him,” people said. “He’s cruel.” “He’s cold.” “He’s damaged.” It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster.”
3. The Interstellar Age by Valmore Daniels: “At the end of the 21st century, a catastrophic accident in the asteroid belt has left two surveyors dead. There is no trace of their young son, Alex Manez, or of the asteroid itself. On the outer edge of the solar system, the first manned mission to Pluto, led by the youngest female astronaut in NASA history, has led to an historic discovery: there is a marker left there by an alien race for humankind to find. We are not alone!”
4. The Allure of Dean Harper by R.S. Grey: “Because you sent me to work for Dean Harper, aka a control freak in a tailor-made suit. Sure he owns the trendiest restaurants in NYC, but c’mon Jo, his ego makes Kanye West look like the Dalai Lama.”
5. Hidden -CSI Reilly Steel Thriller by Casey Hill: “When a young girl is discovered dead on an isolated Irish country road, it seems at first glance to be a simple hit and run. Then the cops see the tattoo on her back – a pair of beautifully wrought angel wings that lend the victim a sense of ethereal innocence. Forensic investigator Reilly Steel is soon on the scene and her highly tuned sixth sense tells her there is more to this case than a straightforward murder.”
6. Bossy: A Stepbrother Romance by Kim Linwood: “One night only. No promises, no regrets. He was rich, ripped, inked up, and gone in the morning. I didn’t even know his name. Not until I read it off the door on my first day at work. See, I don’t do bad boys, I don’t do troublemakers and I sure as heck didn’t graduate college with a 3.9 GPA by screwing around.”
7. Grayson’s Vow by Mia Sheridan: “Some challenges in life seem too hard to overcome. With little money, and even fewer options, the quick-witted and vibrant twenty-two-year-old needs to reinvent herself. Known for her generous heart and impulsive personality, she devises a survival plan, possibly her most outrageous idea yet.”
8. Bad Boy Next Door by Abigail Graham: “I don’t have time for men when I’m raising my daughters alone – especially an obnoxious jerk like my new neighbor, Quentin. Tattoos, muscles, ego. I told him to move his car and he sprayed me with a hose. We make each other furious, and he gets me wet.”
9. Mountain Lion by Terry Bolryder: “Cowboy and cougar shifter Wyatt Reynolds hasn’t put much thought toward settling down. He’s content to run his successful ranch in beautiful Montana. That is, until a small, mysterious person wanders into his office one day asking for a job but staying hidden behind an oversized coat and a wide-brimmed hat. Little does he know that this enigmatic person is about to change everything for him.”
10. Deliciously Mated by P. Jameson: “As head chef for Lake Haven Lodge, Eagan Masters spends his days cooking warm and hearty meals for his clan and their guests. His nights however, are spent in his cabin, cold and lonely. There’s no mating for the big cats. He’s accepted it, but no amount of time in the kitchen can keep his heart from craving someone to call his own. When food and other supplies go missing from the lodge, he sets out to reveal the thief.”
