In His Silks (Restrained Book 1)
He’s the richest man in Boston. With a single look, he can have any woman he wants.
Except her. Elizabeth won’t give him the time of day—except to tell him she’s so far out of his social circle, she might as well be from another planet.
In Elizabeth’s eyes, Alexander sees not only a lifetime of pain but an untrained submissive unlike any he’s ever met—one with fire and strength and fierce intelligence. He aches to show her the joys of submission.
Happiness doesn’t come easily, though. Especially not when a billion dollar tax fraud case threatens Alexander’s company—and Elizabeth’s life.
The scars from Elizabeth’s past run deep, and if she can’t give Alexander her trust, she could lose so much more than a chance at love.

In an era of safe spaces, trigger warnings, and an unprecedented election, the country’s youth are in crisis. Senator Ben Sasse warns the nation about the existential threat to America’s future.
Raised by well-meaning but overprotective parents and coddled by well-meaning but misbegotten government programs, America’s youth are ill-equipped to survive in our highly-competitive global economy.

Ultimate Speed Secrets
Life Lessons from Philippians
An unexpected bill. An upcoming doctor’s appointment. A tense family visit. Every day struggles of all sizes creep into our lives, leaving us stressed. Frustrated. Anxious. Just plain miserable. The believers in Philippi were struggling. They were trying to grow in faith and live for Christ. Trying to deal with conflict and threats of persecution. The apostle Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this young church. His letter could have focused on his own troubles. Instead he wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment. He reminds us of important biblical truths and points us to Jesus as the ultimate example. Paul’s letter encourages. It inspires.
