New Read Alert – Pre Order

Excerpt:

Gabriel Chamberlain’s dynamic plan to overcome issues that plague the world by creating a society ruled by a stronger class of women, is met with deadly resistance. His hand-chosen people are forced to begin the perfect life within The Heaven Project in a secluded location. Then a fatal action by one of his wives changes the plan altogether, plunging The Heaven Project into the very darkness they were striving to escape.

Twenty-five years later, jealousy between Gabriel’s sons, David and Robert, leads to a tragic series of events that will unravel the peaceful fabric of Heaven life. Robert purposely seduces one of David’s concubines, and the brothers square off in a battle of wills that sets the stage for The Heaven Project’s complete downfall. When Robert exacts his revenge by killing all Heaven men who oppose him and capturing the women for his own sordid purposes, David scatters his wife and concubines to the four corners of the United States to keep them safe.

Time passes, and a woman known simply as Mari Sheldon, is living a reclusive life in Chicago. But that changes the day Chase Caswell, a bad boy with a troubled past, walks into her life. The inexplicable attraction between them is enough to bring Mari out of her shell and makes her willing to take a chance on love. Unfortunately, Mari is kidnapped by someone looking to get their hands on a hidden fortune as well as the rest of Mari’s sisters who hold the keys to unlock the past and a more promising future. Chase is forced to travel to several continents to uncover his own family secrets and rescue the woman he loves. He finally teams up with a small band of rebels to launch a vicious attack, hoping to free the imprisoned women and children while restoring The Heaven Project to its original purpose.

PRE-ORDER for only $2.99. Price will be $5.99 after release.

REVIEWS FOR SLAVES OF HEAVEN . . .

“This book is different from anything I have ever read before, and I am an avid reader of all genres. Slaves of Heaven opened my mind to a serious ‘what if’ factor and made me wonder could a story like this be based on some form of reality? Given today’s racial and social climate, the answer to this question is almost frightening. Naleighna Kai has written a story that explores the depth of race, gender, religion, and societal expectations; as well as the psychology behind those who attempt to keep an underclass of people in poverty in order for them to maintain control.” –Debra Mitchell, Black Women with Opinions & Attitudes Book club

“I liked the Octavia Butler vibe of Slaves of Heaven. The storyline is distinctly Naleighna Kai and uniquely original.” – Crystal Hubbard, National Bestselling Author

“Using a historical climate as a backdrop, Slaves of Heaven takes the reader on a journey of love, conflict, jealousy and power—who has it, who wants it, and why people give it away. It is a story of women and their fight within themselves, among themselves, and with the outside forces that seek to keep them in servitude. Slaves of Heaven pulls the reader in like an undercurrent submerging you in a world of suspense, intrigue, and mind-blowing revelations.”—Priscilla Jackson

“The story has all the elements of an action-packed psychological thriller—intrigue, jealousy, betrayal, retribution, and redemption. Slaves of Heaven is such an excellent read that it will keep you on the edge of your seat and blow your mind in the process.” –Anita Roseboro Wade, author of Show Me No Mercy and Summer Breeze

“This book will bring Naleighna Kai a new following, but this is a good time for it because I believe readers want more, they want different, and are hungry for it. We are tired of the same old predictable stories. All Naleighna Kai books push the button, but this one pushes many and jumps right out the box. Feels like I’m reading a science fiction version of the bible. I can feel a little of Yoruba in this story, Christianity with a twist—mainly things from the Lost books of the bible. This one will bring a different audience. One that many African American authors aren’t really reaching today—outside of Tananarive Due, Octavia Butler, Brandon Massey, and Lynn Emery. Are readers ready for it? I believe, yes we are. We are looking for authors to PUSH it!” –Laverne Missy Brown, Readers Paradise Book Club

She thought fate had been kind in giving her a husband who adored her. But she soon discovered fate had pulled a fast one, as her husband’s nearly impossible demands and those from his unrelenting family has pushed her to an edge where there might be no return.

Determined to win back the woman who is his anchor, first, he must find a way to deal with his overbearing family and disrespectful children that doesn’t cause him to lose more than he gains. While fighting to win back his wife, he’s forced to face some hard truths and family secrets that might mean he’ll lose Shannan forever.

What if’s. That’s what drove this story. What if I was a wife who’d been surrounded by people who were taking, taking, and taking and not realizing that I’d been giving. What happens when that wife strikes out to find herself and figure out what she’s willing to lose in order to find that sense of peace.

Dirty Diana – J. D. Mason

MMA fighter, “Dirty” Diana Rigby has just lost her title in a championship match. Soon after the fight, a relative calls Diana delivering the devastating news that Diana’s abusive and estranged mother, Louise Rigby is dying. Overwhelmed in disappointment and grief, Diana breaks the promise she made to herself years ago, and returns to her hometown of Rhino, TX to find closure with the woman who raised her, the woman she swore she’d never see again.

 When Sheriff Jake Randolph stops the beautiful stranger for speeding, he has no idea that it’s the young girl he first laid eyes on over twenty years ago when he and his superior, the former sheriff were called to the Rigby house in response to a disturbance call. Back then, the rookie cop believed that the child should’ve been removed from the home for her own safety, but his decision was over ruled, and he’s never forgiven himself for his lack of conviction.

 An emotional confrontation with her mother leaves Diana reeling into old habits of looking for love for all the wrong reasons, and Jake finds himself on the receiving end of Diana’s bad habits.

Story Notes: Dirty Diana

This story came on the heels of some major life changes and on the eve (give or take a week or two) of a dream trip to Europe. It was important for me to reel in the chaos and focus, so I made it a point to progress through this story like an MMA fighter in training.

J.D. Mason is the author of more than twenty novels including The Woman Trapped in the Dark, Seducing Abby Rhodes, The Real Mrs. Price. A national bestselling and award-winning author, her work has been featured in in USA Today, Essence, Pride Magazine in the U.K., and Today’s Black Woman.

SUGAR is an anthology with the perfect blend of authors at the top of their game who have crafted stories that will leave you wanting more.#PreOrderSUGAR http://ow.ly/7ABT30l7J4h #Goodreads #Drama#Bookworm #GreatReads #Books #BookAddict #BookGeek
