Insta-Coffee September in Washington, DC, was a miserable time to be hard, Blau reflected as he struggled toward his dorm room. Not that it would be much cooler there, but at least he could scratch anything and everything he wanted to.
But as he entered the courtyard before his dormitory, he saw the fountain splashing merrily in the insane sunshine. Blau started toward it, only noticing the KEEP OUT signs when he was a few feet from the glorious spray. Letting out a growl of frustration, he stopped short with his hands balled into fists. What sort of taunt was this? Water just meters away and no one allowed even near it?
Frustrated and itching worse than before, Blau decided to give up being human for a few minutes. In spite of the academy’s rules, he doubted anyone would object to a dragon taking his true form for only a little while. After all, there were hundreds of different creatures on this campus. Surely all of them didn’t keep their human guises all the time.
He took a few steps away from the fountain and changed into his eight-foot-tall, pale blue, scaly form. Hence the name Blau, which was the thought he had almost every time he changed.
As tall as the fountain now, he stretched his wings. Just this small amount of free movement felt so good. Blau arched his neck and groaned as his skin settled more comfortably around him, accommodating itself to his frame. He would have been tempted to blow fire for the sheer joy of it, but he didn’t dare violate SearchLight Academy’s rules more than he was already. Fire was a threat to most creatures.
“What are you doing?” demanded a voice below him.
Blau looked down, expecting a teacher or even campus security. emilycarrington

Insta-Coffee A thrilling and sexy wager between friends turns deadly when they discover they aren’t the only ones who are preying.…

No deity has ever compelled Caine Underwood to drop to his knees in worship like Margot Walker does. Ever since the Halloween when she played Red Riding Hood to his Big Bad Wolf, he’s been chasing her attention—and betting that he can build a haunt so terrifying she won’t make it through. Now, Margot’s single and Caine’s pulling out all the stops to win their annual wager, and he wants her for his prize.

Margot understands fear. Six years ago, she unveiled her televangelist ex-husband’s sins, and the situation turned bloody. Now, being hunted and devoured by Caine isn’t terrifying, it’s arousing…but the haunted house director isn’t the only one trying to scare her.

Taunting threats commanding her to confess, repent, and atone for her sins start arriving, and when Caine discovers a zealot from Margot’s past is stalking her every move, his anger is lethal.

There’s only one man allowed to haunt Margot…

Him.

Insta-Coffee Some readers want to enjoy a story.
Others want to vanish into it.

The Immersive reader wants the outside world to disappear. They want to look up from a book and realize an hour has passed without their noticing. They want characters, settings, and events to feel so immediate that turning the next page becomes almost automatic.

For these readers, the best story is one they don`t merely read.

They enter it.
The Immersive
This post is part of the Reader Motivation System.

Each reader archetype is driven by a core need that shapes how they engage with story.
Identity
"I read to disappear."

Immersive readers want to become absorbed in the experience of the story.

They want to forget the chair they`re sitting in, the room around them, and the clock on the wall. They want the fictional world to become, temporarily, more immediate than the real one.

When that happens, reading stops feeling like an activity.

It feels like being somewhere else.
Core Drive: Absorption
Immersive readers seek sustained engagement.

They want the story to keep drawing them forward without repeatedly reminding them that they`re reading. This doesn`t require nonstop action or breakneck pacing. A quiet conversation can be deeply immersive if the reader needs to know what happens next.

The key is momentum.

Something is always pulling them deeper. Kayelle Allen

Insta-Coffee He sees what she tries so hard to hide. And he isn`t afraid of it.

Miranda is carrying something heavier than a guarded heart. A truth she didn`t ask for and can`t undo. One that changes everything she thought she knew about her future and makes her question whether she has the right to let someone else share it.

Paul offers her something real. Something steady. Something she has quietly longed for her whole life.

And that`s exactly why she has to push him away.

Because loving him would mean telling him. And telling him might mean losing him. Or worse, watching him stay out of pity rather than love.

Some people are made for each other. But what if the one person meant for you deserves more than you`re able to give?

A deeply moving romance about sacrifice, surrender, and the fierce, fragile courage it takes to trust God with an unknown future.

If you enjoyed Nicholas Sparks` "The Notebook," you`ll also love "Forget Me Not" by Karen Cogan. Buy now and join Miranda and Paul on their journey of love, sacrifice, and faith. Don`t miss out on this unforgettable story before the price changes.

Excerpt

She opened the door to the principal`s office so that he could step inside. As he passed her, the faint scent of his aftershave reached her. Cinnamon, she thought.

Miranda closed the door behind him and stood there for a moment longer than necessary, as the warmth of his expression lingered.

Reluctantly, she turned back to her task of assembling the morning announcements.

What brought Mr. Green into the office this morning? Was he a parent? A volunteer? Or a new hire?
She shook her head and told herself to focus. JAC

Insta-Coffee The first book in The Binding Chronicles, Tethered is a darkly seductive romantasy for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, blending forbidden love, dangerous magic and a bond that defies fate.
What could be worse than an arranged marriage to a vampire prince?
When Luna is sold into marriage to the vampire Prince of Darkness, she expects cruelty, not temptation. Prince Sebastian was made to obey his queen, even if that means binding himself to a mortal he doesn`t want and burying every trace of the humanity he lost centuries ago. But the moment their blood mingles during the Binding Ceremony, something ancient and forbidden ignites between them.

Now bound by a magic neither understands and incapable of going more than thirty feet apart, Luna and Sebastian are trapped in each other`s orbit—tethered but unwilling to surrender. As political schemes twist into betrayal and war brews on the horizon, desire becomes their greatest danger. Loving each other could cost them their crowns, their kingdoms and their lives.

Steeped in dark magic, aching passion and impossible choices, Tethered is a sweeping gothic romantasy about two enemies bound by fate and undone by love.

Julian’s flat was a disaster, but Mel couldn’t be sure if it was on account of Julian tearing the place apart in a fit of pique or if it was always like this. Based on what his room had been like when she and her big brother had lived at home, she didn’t really doubt this was just the way he lived.

Mel hadn’t been here since the day Julian had moved in three years ago. She saw enough of her brother at the place where they worked, the place where they drank, and the place where they performed. She hardly needed to come round his place to get even more time with the manic muppet.

Julian even did devastation manic. He was pacing around the living room, pulling at his hair, talking a mile a minute. Coffee Time Romance & More

Description
Murad is an Imperial Messenger, and he has a secret... He’s a witch.

On a visit to the foreign court of Mercia in Britain, he has a vision of the crown prince, Aaron, in serious trouble.

In his desire to save Aaron’s life, Murad becomes entangled in Mercia’s political strife, border disputes, and rising Paganism.

At the heart of the conspiracy, Murad encounters a powerful blood witch who has plans to sow division in the land.

Her magic is too strong for Murad on his own, so he seeks out new allies in two very different witches: a green witch, and a Viking seer.

As lines are drawn in the sand, both at court and on the battlefield, Murad stands with Aaron, bolstered by their allies. Together, they can unite Mercia for good.

Insta-Coffee In this clever and surprising thriller about the perils of modern dating and the female rage it sometimes inspires, a board game designer starts playing by her own rules, and losers won’t be tolerated.

The friendship game. The dating game. The end game. For board game designer Tilda Smith they’re all necessary steps on the path to finding happiness. And by structuring her life according to a set of rules, just like in the games that she loves to create at her job, Tilda can finally win.

The only problem? The other players don’t know they’re playing by Tilda’s rules. She’s fair. Very fair, in fact. But then one night her date pushes her too far and she gets just a bit carried away. Any player who disappoints must face consequences, right? But as Tilda finds herself transporting a body in a laundry bag, she has to question how to make the punishment fit the crime.

And now someone is watching Tilda and playing a game of their own. Will they turn the tables on her, or can she figure out a way to best them? The game is never really over until she says it is.

Game on.

Description
London 1825. When a young American heiress arrives at a Society ball draped in long-lost sapphires and diamonds belonging to the late Duchess of Ashington, jaws drop and tempers rise.

Thirty years earlier, those jewels vanished after a deadly shooting party. Now, they’ve resurfaced around the neck of the odious Marquess of Talybridge’s beautiful betrothed.

The current Duke of Ashington wants them back where they belong, and his close friends are only too happy to plot a daring heist on his behalf. But he’s not the only man with his eyes on the prize. A mysterious French viscount, new to London and shrouded in scandal, wants them too.

Enter Mickey Maurice, gambling hell owner Tommy Squire’s right-hand man. Loyal and discreet, Mickey glides through Society largely unobserved. Under the duke’s instruction, he’s tasked with seducing the truth out of the foreigner.

But when secrets, schemes, and seductions collide, the real thief might just be a matter of the heart. And for young Mickey, love might be the riskiest heist of all.

This fourth book in the Rossingley Regency romance series features friends old and new, a jewel heist, and lashings of falling in love. Fearne Hill
