Well what do you know folks I managed to stay within my goal! Ok, so I managed to do it by the skin of my teeth just staying in single digits with nine new titles but that’s still behaving!! I will admit sometimes I wonder if I should just give up my goal of not adding into the double digits but weeks like this prove it is possible for some restraint.🤣

As always clicking the covers will take you to the book on Amazon!**

If they can stick together, they can survive anything–even the tightening net of a police investigation.

Because one more breakup might just be their last…
