Book Description
Dr. Brandon Cowley finds himself immersed in a conspiracy to defraud the federal government billions of dollars in a research protocol designed to put the majority of vascular surgeons out of business. The Heart Assisted Device is designed to obviate the need for more expensive and traditional cardiac bypass surgery, but positive research results must support the government’s claim that the device is superior to the more expensive CABG surgeries. Brandon uncovers a plot to murder his patients to report favorable results and thus make the FDA’s case for the new procedure. A parallel plot involves Mexico’s intent to steal American biotechnology. This page-turner throws the reader into the worlds of medical research, governmental bureaucracy and conspiracy, and the sordid underground realm of organized crime.

Pages : 285
Book Description
Eisner award-winning author David F. Walker explodes onto the YA literary scene with a remarkable story about justice and second chances and all the ways we can make our own world in the image of our dreams. Darius Logan is far from a hero. Since his parents were killed, he has spent most of his life navigating foster homes and shelters, abandoned neighborhoods and decaying buildings. All Darius knows is survival. Life was hard enough, but now he finds himself being hunted by the police after a drug deal he never should have been involved in goes bad. And when they catch him, Darius is positive he will spend the rest of his life behind bars. But in place of a long prison sentence, Darius is handed an opportunity almost too good to be true: the chance to get away from his circumstances by joining the Second Chance program of the Super Justice Force, a league of people with special powers who strive to do good and protect the world from harm. Darius soon discovers a strength he never knew he possessed, but evil forces manifest and threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. Will Darius be able to save the world when he faces a deadly--and all too familiar--enemy? This incredibly powerful YA debut by Eisner award-winning author David F. Walker, dives into matters of social justice and identity, courage and second chances, in a world where heroes loom large and what seems ordinary is anything but.

Book Description
Sebastian Bailey is hot AF, but the dude's a total A-hole. I have no idea what I'm in for when I sign up to interview hot upcoming romance author S. Bailey. For starters, she turns out to be a he—and he's super hot. Unfortunately, he’s also a massive D-bag with a weird thing about punctuality. Our first meeting is less than stellar, but thankfully the second one goes somewhat better. Except for the part where I get roped into playing his fake girlfriend at his sister's wedding. Oh, and all the week long pre-wedding family festivities. There's a saying along the lines of fake it 'til you make it. And fake it we did. Perhaps a little too well though. Because the way his eyes devour me from across a room and the fluttering of my heart when he’s near, almost feels real. My head knows this is all a ruse, but try telling my damn heart that… Oh, and then there's the little issue of my expanding waistline... *Nerdy is an opposites attract, fake relationship, unexpected pregnancy rom-com, with the most swoony book boyfriend of every bookworm's dreams that will have you swooning in no time.
