Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of July 29, 2015
1. 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.”
2. The Dragon’s Mate by Jane Rowe: “Humans are on the brink of extinction. A virus has spread, all but ensuring humans can’t have male babies. Not feeling to lie down and accept the end of their race, some put together a breeding program in the hope of turning things around.”
3. Constitution: Book One 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.”
4. About Last Night by Belle Aurora: “Matt Quinn has been an escort for most of his adult life. He’s so good at his job that he’s booked months in advance. An enquiring email from a potential client finds him intrigued about the shy, awkward woman. A back and forth is started and before Quinn knows it, a friendship is formed.”
5. Flawed Love: House of Obsidian by Bella Jewel: “Rainer Torrence is everything I could have wanted in my life and more. He became my best friend when I was Thirteen years old. From then on, we were inseparable. He was my first love and my first heartbreak.”
6. Pierced: A Stepbrother Romance by Maya Hawk: “If you’d have told me my arrogant, man-whoring stepbrother would grow up to become a doctor, I’d have never believed you. That is, until you mention he specializes in caring for the opposite gender. Then it makes perfect sense. He always did have a way with the finer sex.”
7. Where We Belong by Catherine Ryan Hyde: “Fourteen-year-old Angie and her mom are poised at the edge of homelessness… again. The problem is her little sister, Sophie. Sophie has an autism-like disorder, and a tendency to shriek. No matter where they live, home never seems to last long.”

9. 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.”
10. Sacrifice by Adriana Locke: “My life changed forever the night my husband died. I was left with a shattered heart, a heap of bills, and our daughter, EVERLEIGH.
