About The Book:

Sports agent Jackie Miles is a petite powerhouse who has built her empire on killer instincts, designer stilettos, and tough skin. Her client roster is legendary, her temper is hotter than Georgia asphalt, and aside from her French bulldog PeeWee and her “boss chick village,” she’s perfectly content flying solo.

Then Antonio Steele walks back into her life, and all hell breaks loose.

The towering former football star turned rival agent has always known exactly which buttons to push. Just when Jackie thinks she can handle their explosive chemistry and complicated past, she mysteriously loses her voice. But this isn’t ordinary laryngitis; a cryptic stranger’s message implies that Jackie must “quiet her tongue and listen with her heart” to lift whatever spell she’s under.

With a career-defining client trip to Mexico looming, and only the devastatingly handsome Antonio as backup, Jackie must learn to let go-if only she could trust him to catch her.

About The Book:

There’s no one Wren hates more than Beckett Lane.

Girls love Beckett because of his famous dad, and Beckett revels in the unearned attention. It seems like everyone except Wren is susceptible to the Beckett Effect—the phenomenon that makes people, most of all teen girls, fall for him despite his glaring red flags. Unfortunately for Wren, her sister, Kennedy, is vulnerable to Beckett’s charms, and she has a huge, misguided crush on him.

When Beckett humiliates Kennedy at a party in front of the entire school, Wren swears to bring him down once and for all. And what better way to expose him than by using her passion for filmmaking to create a documentary showing just how terrible he really is?

But as Wren cozies up to Beckett to get (hopefully damning) inside information, she starts to wonder if the line between love and hate is as clear as she thought…

INDIE FIRST SATURDAY IS ALMOST HERE!

is Resist Booksellers shining a spotlight on local, independently published authors with books you should know. Come meet and celebrate our featured author K.N. Robertson who will showcase her debut fantasy novella, Exposing Lesser Demons

We invite the entire community to come out SATURDAY, JUNE 6TH from 12-2PM and meet K.N. and support her work.

And if you need more incentives, ALL BOOKS in store are 10% off from 11am-2pm.

ABOUT K.N. Robertson:

K. N. Robertson is a DMV native, blogger, and fantasy author. Her debut novella, Exposing Lesser Demons, was discovered by a journalist for NBC and The Washington Post, who listed her alongside Octavia Butler, N. K. Jemisin, and Toni Morrison as a fantasy “should read” only three months after she self‑published.
This brief tale of desire, recovery, and magical anointing grew out of years of self‑study through masterclasses from leading voices in modern literature as well as some of Hollywood’s most recommended books on screenwriting. Robertson now shares her insights on writing in her Writer Wait Blog, available at KNRobertson.com.

Come support indie authors this and every First Saturday!
