Discovering Dani

Dani O'Rourke is no stranger to hard work. She’s been raising her two brothers alone since their parents died and she owns and operates her own business, O’Rourke Cleaning Services. Spending all her time working and looking after her family means she’s never had time for men. And if she was going to look for a relationship, it wouldn’t be with an arrogant and cynical man like Burke. A brush with death has successful businessman Burke questioning his priorities. He’s come to Jamesville for some peace and quiet to figure out what to do with the rest of his life. Catching a woman breaking into his cabin certainly isn’t part of his plan, nor is being attracted to her after her finds out just how wrong he was about her. Burke finds himself caught up in Dani’s family, but is there room in such a gentle woman’s life for a man as hard as him? Each book in the Jamesville series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed in any order.

There She Goes Again interrogates the representation of ostensibly powerful women in transmedia franchises, examining how presumed feminine traits—love, empathy, altruism, diplomacy—are alternately lauded and repudiated as possibilities for effecting long-lasting social change. By questioning how these franchises reimagine their protagonists over time, the book reflects on the role that gendered exceptionalism plays in social and political action, as well as what forms of knowledge and power are presumed distinctly feminine. The franchises explored in this book illustrate the ambivalent (post)feminist representation of women protagonists as uniquely gifted in ways both gendered and seemingly ungendered, and yet inherently bound to expressions of their femininity. At heart,There She Goes Again asks under what terms and in what contexts women protagonists are imagined, envisioned, embodied, and replicated in media. Especially now, in a period of gradually increasing representation, women protagonists demonstrate the importance of considering how we should define—and whether we need—feminine forms of knowledge and power.

DanielleOne erotic story written by me equaled one year of manipulation from my stepfather. Manipulation that led to fear. Black tentacles of fear that wrapped around my heart, my soul. Until him.

He doesn't remember me, but I remember him. Will he save me a second time?Turns out Mr. Bond did save me a second time and now he wants to help me over my fear. So, I let him. I think I may be in over my head. He is arrogant, intense, bossy, really the list goes on and on. But, he is also smart, sexy, thoughtful, sexy...did I say that already? Yeah, I guess I did. He is so damn sexy. I can't keep up with him. Maybe, I'm not meant to. He wants to discover who I am. Hell, he makes me want to discover myself. He is a real-life hero, that is what he does...he saves people. I feel like I'm holding him back. Society needs him, but I need him too.Question is am I worth it?Can he be a hero and still be mine?Will I survive his crazy ideas of how to help me?AnthonyYears I stayed ahead of those nasty little things called feelings.

So, I isolated myself from everyone and continued to live fast, but even that isn't helping anymore.And, then I met her. Danielle. A spunky little thing in a bar. She was lucky I was there that night, or she could have ended up a statistic. But, I was there, and I saved her. However, once I saved her I realized she had bigger problems.

Oh, we are going to have so much fun discovering just who Danielle is.Question is can I get her to see the brave girl that I see?Will she accept my secrets, my dark?Will she be the one to finally slow me down?Discovering Danielle is the third book in the Hidden Series. It is a stand-alone novel however it is helpful to read Finding Anna, book one and Saving Addy book two to avoid spoilers. There is no cliff-hanger. This book is a dark romance, but I promise it does have a HEA. There is no cheating in this novel. It does contain some very dark content and could possibly have triggers for some individuals.
