My Darkest Hour

In this groundbreaking memoir, My Darkest Hour: The Day I Realized I Was Abusive, Harold L. Turley II goes beyond identifying emotional, economical, and domestic abuse/domestic violence to prescribing a course of action for both the victim and abuser.  

 

Coupling stories of how Turley was abused and inflicted abuse upon others, My Darkest Hour offers readers the tools needed to recognize a problem in a relationship and how to transform it. His testimony assures one that such a transformation is possible—given the desire to want to change.

 

Turley also gives advice on how to avoid abusive situations and different ways to channel one’s anger. Combining practical applications and Biblical scriptures with his trademark support and assurance, Turley demonstrates how to empower oneself, release abusive behavior, and change life for the better.

 

 

Cougars

An intoxicating cat is stalking the city…

 

Jasmine Sallie is beautiful, confident and has a sweet tooth for sex and younger men.  At forty-three, Jasmine is a successful chemist, and director of a pharmaceutical research team that has been given the task of creating a female sexual enhancement drug. 

  

When Travis Adams, a brilliant and handsome chemist, joins the research team, Jasmine’s penchant for younger men ignites a sizzling affair that is a hair trigger away from dangerous consequences. The two manufacture an addictive and unstable designer drug which gets shelved because of its fatal side effects. 

  

Impatient and ambitious, Travis secretly keeps experimenting until he creates a new and improved formula that hits the black market with a lethal impact.  A senator dies, a criminal investigation is launched, and when Travis disappears suddenly, Jasmine’s world is tossed into a chaotic spin.  With incriminating evidence pointing toward her, Jasmine finds herself caught in the crosshairs of the ultimate double-cross, unforgivable betrayal and the wicked world of sex and drugs.

 

 

The Nature of A Man

The Nature of a Man is a reflective perspective of Alicia Forrester, a woman who is desperately seeking the love she lost as a child. Despite her magnificent beauty, despite her success, her view of the woman in the mirror is one of disappointment, darkness and despair. Her lack of self-love and her efforts to find it through the heart of a man lead her down the dark path of promiscuity, betrayal and murder. She spends a lifetime battling the temptation of suicide. One day, the temptation becomes too great and she decides it is better to die in shame than to live in pain.

 

She is found by her friends, characters from The Office Girls and The Nature of a Woman, and is rescued from herself. She makes several other suicidal attempts until she unwillingly confronts the source of pain that has haunted her throughout her life: her father. On his deathbed, he gives her the love she has sought, and at that moment the nature of a man is revealed. It is not from the reception from her father’s love, nor her husband’s love; it is through the acceptance of love for herself.

 

 

Duplicity

We must recognize all people for whom they truly are and not for the characters they pretend to be. A motion picture mogul learns that everyone in his life, including his Emmy-nominated wife, are out to gain more than his multimillionaire estate can buy.

 

Motion-picture mogul Parrish Clovis learns that everyone is in his life by design—including Hana Kafka, his wife. In just a few short hours, Parrish’s affluent life takes a downward plunge into a seedy world that lands him on the front page of every newspaper in America. He’s been accused of the unthinkable.

 

One problem, though—he can’t remember brutally assaulting and raping his wife. In order for Hana and a crew of out-of-work actors to drain Parrish’s multimillion-dollar estate, they must first set the stage for Parrish to murder his sister by tricking him into thinking he’s really going to kill the woman he was forced to hate: Hana.

 

Parrish, however, discovers the con. He throws an ingenious twist in the script that will either win him an Oscar…or get him a closed-casket funeral.

Harold L. Turley II -- Born Dying

Harold L. Turley II reveals the not-so-glamorous lifestyle of crime in this story of a Washington D.C. kingpin and a drug-addicted ex-detective who cross paths and change each other's lives forever.

There are two fates that come from indulging in a life of crime: death or incarceration. Nate Rodgers and Lionel Taylor are opposites in every way. While Nate has achieved dubious power and fame by pushing drugs on the streets, Lionel has fallen from honor as a police detective by giving in to the lure of drug abuse and losing his family in the process.

When these two men meet, they inspire each other to rise above their circumstances and grasp at redemption. Nate gains a new purpose in life - to try and escape his drug-selling lifestyle while saving those he has pushed down the path to addiction. At the same time, Lionel works to conquer his habit and regain the loved ones he's lost. Alone, they have no chance, but together they might muster the strength to overcome the consequences of their bad decisions.

Unvarnished and hard-hitting, Born Dying exposes the reality of drug addiction, telling the story from both sides - both user and pusher. Through the struggles, defeats, and victories, Born Dying is a story of hope, even in the darkest corner of life.

David Rivera, Jr. - Playing in the Dark

Chemah Rivers is back in an all-new erotic roller coaster of a story -- the final book in a captivating trilogy filled with mystery and heart-stopping drama.

There are stories within the Bible that have hidden, erotic depths that have never been revealed. Now, Playing in the Dark follows a unique and creative storyline that begins with a Biblical myth and develops into the revelation of a modern-day murder mystery, starring Chemah Rivers.

When a serial killer is suspected for a string of deaths, the murders are assigned to investigator Chemah Rivers, who quickly catches the person everyone assumes to be the culprit. At the same time, Chemah is dealing with his own home and love-life drama. His love interest, a blind comedienne, might very well get her sight back. Chemah's ex-wife is fighting for custody of their daughter, and his son is getting a little too familiar with the street life, and all the traps that scene holds.

When the real killer starts to stalk Chemah, and the continued deaths start to be tainted by sexual overtones in the very area they live, Chemah is caught up from all sides as he struggles to be the hero, not only for the victims, but for his family and loved ones as well. With the warm flavor of a romance, mixed with the intense action of an adventurous mystery, Playing in the Dark will entice and capture the mind of every reader.
