Beautiful Distraction



From New York Times Bestselling Author, J.C. Reed, comes a sexy, new standalone novel. 

Kellan Boyd always gets what he wants—except that one infuriating city girl who bumped into his new chick magnet sports car, dared to call him a jerk, and threw his pity check in his face. 

Fast forward three months later. When Ava Cross suddenly knocks on his door in the middle of a storm, soaking wet and in dire need of help, he’s determined to settle old scores and finally get her between the sheets where she belongs. 

Ava knows Kellan is a complex man with a dark past and a wild reputation he can’t deny. Forced to stay, Ava begins a desperate search for the truth about the one man she wants to despise and quickly discovers that the passion she feels for him isn’t just deep…it’s dangerous to her heart. 

Kellan is a beautiful distraction. When the traps of her own weakness stand in the way, Ava is faced with one choice only: peel off the layers of a man who is a wild cowboy at heart. 


Author's Note: Beautiful Distraction is a full-length, standalone novel. No cliffhanger. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18. 
Includes a free bonus full-length billionaire romance for a limited time.

Finding Pockets of Happiness




Finding Pockets of Happiness: An Illustrated Memoir reveals how it is possible to find moments of joy and happiness that, even in the darkest days, bring a smile to your face.

For Gauntlett, that joy is tapping into her art skills while overcoming sickness and injury. Time she spends recovering becomes time she spends discovering her skills—and uncovering the bravery needed to step outside of her comfort zone to sell her art and speak in public.

It isn’t the end of her struggles, though, as she loses her pets and goes through other major life changes. But Gauntlett embraces her inner child, turns her passion into purpose, and learns to be grateful for the small things in life.

Whether readers are going through midlife crises, attempting to find happiness and inspiration, or overcoming illness and looking for hope, they will find their own joy in this beautifully illustrated memoir.



Beehives




Jamie Aldrich is ready to begin the next chapter of her life. After dealing with a series of discomfiting events that began with the loss of her husband two years ago, she's taking a well-earned vacation with her fiancĂ©, Sam Mazie, in Oklahoma's Osage Hills State Park. But her newfound serenity is disrupted when she and Sam hear a scream and find the body of an elderly woman on a hiking trail. Park ranger Doug Moyer calls it an accident, the result of a falling tree branch. Jamie isn't so sure. 

Soon after, while exploring the park, Sam and Jamie discover a surprising inscription on a crumbling wall: "Patrick Gallagher loves Mary Jamison, 1954." Mary is Jamie's mother, but Jamie has never heard of Patrick. Her mother refuses to explain, as usual. When Sam disappears after smoke fills their cabin, it is clear that something strange and sinister is afoot in the park. To save her fiancĂ© -- and herself -- Jamie will have to unravel the ties between the mysterious death of the recluse and her mother's first love, and also determine what truth lies behind tall tales of gangsters' loot, ghosts, and secret affairs.

The Braveheart Exit



Did you know that… Fifty percent of successful business owners plan to exit their companies before 2020? 

Yet millions of business owners have no plans for succession. For owners that have a plan, those strategies can easily fail due to inadequate transition tactics, poor implementation, and mismanaged processes. 

Randy M. Long, JD, CFP®, CExP™, created The BraveHeart Planning Process™ to ensure a successful business transition for you, the owner, and your family. The transition out of your business is likely the largest financial transaction of your life ---- generally 70-90 percent of your net worth. The sooner you start preparing, the better your chances to exit well. 

The BraveHeart Planning Process™ will help you create and execute your own roadmap for a successful business exit. When complete, your plan should provide for a transition when you want, to whom you want, for the amount you need for financial independence. And, it strengthens your family along the way. 

Randy has advised hundreds of business owners over a thirty-year career, involving the sale or transition of their businesses. He has also prepared and administered many estate plans for families who left their businesses to their children. He knows what works and what doesn’t. He understands business decisions that build families―and those that destroy them. This is planning at the nexus of business and family. 

Owning a business is not for the faint of heart. As you grow and ultimately transition your business, you should do so with a commitment to both live and leave a legacy that endures for generations. It’s time for you to get started! 
(Randy M. Long)
