Release of Clean Edit Editions
Coming from a fairly conservative background, I have several friends and family who prefer not to read books with 'adult content' in them. So, I am working on releasing 'Clean Edits' of each of my books, catering to more conservative readers. These editions will still contain adult themes, but the content will be censored to a PG-13 level. The original versions will continue to be available, but readers will have the freedom to choose the edition they prefer. Books with modified content can be distinguished by the opaque, white 'CLEAN EDIT' banner.
The Clean Edit edition of Fall of Darkness is available now:

Unforeseen Heartbeat (Second Chances #2)
Author:
Maureen Mayer
Genre:
New Adult Romance
Release
Date: February 24, 2014
Synopsis
for Unforeseen Heartbeat:
Used…
Broken… Confused…
It
only took one drunken mistake four years ago for Maddie Harrington to learn
that when you fully give yourself over to a man, you should never expect
anything in return. Since that night, her views on love have become distorted,
believing men would only want her for the pleasure her body could bring them.
She in turn finds herself hooking up with random guys but never keeps them
around long enough to see if there could possibly be something more.
That
is…until Hunter Bryant enters the picture.
When
the handsome pre-med student shows up in the right place at the right time,
captivating her with his stormy gaze, she immediately pushes him away, thinking
he’s no different than any other guy. The deeper Hunter delves into her life,
trying to break through her iron-clad walls, the more she begins to question
whether she is truly capable of opening her heart up to another man.
Maddie
soon finds herself forced to make a difficult decision, one that will forever
change both of their lives. Will she shut Hunter out of her life for good, or
will she finally open up her heart and allow herself the life she never dreamed
she deserved?

Re-Release of Bring Me Back by Taryn Plendl
Author Bio:
Taryn discovered her love for books at an early age, spending many hours lost in someone else's story.
It wasn't until well into adult hood that she discovered, late at night while the house was quiet, that she had just as many stories inside her just waiting to be let out. Writing has been a way for her to step away from reality and live a bit through her fun and sometimes damaged characters. You will almost always find a Happy Ever After at the end of her stories. She can't help it, it's an addiction.
She's a Southwestern girl living a Mid-Atlantic life with her husband of seventeen years and two incredible daughters who inspire her daily. She is proud to be an advocate for her child with autism, and feels incredibly blessed to be able to see the world through her eyes. Her daughters teach her more than she could ever teach them.
She enjoys reading, writing and spending time with her family, but cherishes those quiet nights after everyone is asleep when she can curl up on the couch with her fifteen year old dog. (Shh, don't tell...He's not supposed to be on the couch.)
Keep an eye out for more from her!

Dark Redemption Releases Tomorrow
I'm pleased to announce that Dark Redemption will be available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com tomorrow.
As prophesied heiress to the Cacciatori
vampire dynasty, Kate Murdock is destined to free her kind from the curse of
darkness. But Kate wants no part of her dark heritage. Her resistance to the
darkness within divides her consciousness, the two halves of her mind battling
for control. Kate wants nothing more than to redeem herself of past
transgressions and to build a life with the man she loves. But the demon within
her grows stronger everyday--- and she’s out for blood.
Redemption is coming…
One woman, torn between warring
halves of a shattered psyche. Two men, determined to possess her. An enmity so
deep, it has the power to destroy. In a world of passion, heartbreak, and
revenge, boundaries will be crossed, but one question remains. How far will
each go for redemption?
Werewolf Dominic Ridolfi is an
exiled traitor, disavowed for his love of the vampire heiress. Though hunted by
vampires and werewolves alike, Dominic and Kate carve out a life together on
the run. Dominic will stop at nothing to protect his mate from their world, but
remains powerless to protect her from the darkness within. Will his love for
the Cacciatori heiress be enough to redeem their souls? Or will darkness
consume them both?
Captain of the vampire royal guard,
Alexander Ambrogio, had the world at his feet and the Cacciatori heiress on his
arm. Until one misjudgment took it all away. Renounced for his failure to
protect his charge, Alexander is offered a final chance for redemption---
return the missing heiress alive and all will be forgiven. His resolve to
restore Kate to her rightful place is surpassed only by his hunger for
vengeance against the werewolf who stole her.
Redemption is coming…

31st, 2014
Category: Adult
Genre: Contemporary
Romance | Novella
Synopsis:
A deadly accident can
take a life in more than one way.
Four years ago, Carlene Adams made a deadly mistake. A tragic
accident derailed the future she'd hoped for, taking the life of the man she'd
planned to spend forever with.
As a self-imposed penance for her solitary sin, Carlene has
given up on every dream she ever had. She has committed to spend every
remaining moment trying to make up for that one instance when everything
changed.
Then she gets a second
chance.
When Carlene meets Nick Johnson, the single kiss they share
awakens the desires she shoved aside for so long. Suddenly she wants more than
what she believe she deserves. Will she ever see him again? And if she does,
what will that mean for her?
A thing of fate.
Leaving the life she built on regret, Carlene waits for fate to
intervene. But just as she begins to believe in a fresh start, she's forced to
realize a horrible truth—one with the power to send her second chance crashing
before it even takes off.
Nick isn't who she thought he was. She isn't the girl he
believed her to be, either. Their lives were intertwined even before they met,
and if Carlene tells him the truth, she’ll risk tearing them apart—for good.

I’ve been creating stories my whole life, but only for me, in my own head. Then one day I sat down and started to write a book. I completed my first novel, In Search of Lucy, in February of 2011. Seven months later, AmazonEncore contacted me about representing my book. It’s currently in the top 10 for Kindle Drama.
My second full-length novel, Vigil Annie, was released on Amazon in December of 2012! One reviewer called this thriller “suspenseful, well-crafted, and fast paced.”
I recently completed my first romantic comedy, The Tech Guy, now available on Amazon.
My other works include a mystery series (A Hint of Murder) and a short, sweet romance (Special Delivery).
I was born and raised in Southern California and hold a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a multiple subject teaching credential. I’m a wife and mother of two teenagers.
Look for updates on me and my books at the links below.
