Jennifer Monroe spins a tantalizing tale of two very unlikely lovers in
this intriguing friends-to-lovers Regency romance between a young beauty and
a scarred beast of an earl, who is dead-set on vengeance.

To get his revenge, he needs a fiancĂ©e…

Nicholas, Lord Dowding, is a dangerous and reckless man. For more than five
years, revenge has been the earl’s only goal as he traveled England seeking
to ruin the lives of those who once wronged his family.

Earning himself the moniker “Earl of Deception” for his deadly,
scheming ways, Nicholas is close to putting the past to rest once and for
all. The only problem? He’ll need a woman by his side to do it.

To play the role of a lifetime, she’ll bargain her heart…

Her education could never have prepared the romantic dreamer Miss Jenny
Clifton,, for a man like Nicholas. When the earl arrives at the school to
call in a favor she never expected to have to repay, Jenny is quickly caught
up in a dangerous game where she must first pose as his
fiancée.

Nicholas is dashing but ruthless, and his heart is heavily scarred by his
past when he asks Jenny to pose as his fiancĂ©e. But she can’t help
being drawn to this man who blazes with passion wherever he goes.

The greatest deception of all…

She’s just a lovestruck silly schoolgirl who owes him a favor. Their
burgeoning friendship is a bonus, but what he requires of her is strictly
business. It’s a simple enough plan—in theory.

…Is between a man and his unruly heart.

But Nicholas finds Jenny is one entanglement he cannot easily escape. While
the girl is vexingly naive and innocent, she also burns with a beauty and
sensuality that makes his heart beat faster. Soon Nicholas finds himself
brought to his knees by a woman who holds a power even greater than that of
deception: love.

About the Author

Ryan Becker

Euphoric Wonderland is Ryan Becker’s seminal literary work which was
largely inspired by the relationship he has with his parents, both of whom
are poets in their own rights and words. His father is a self-taught
classical pianist, as well as an avid Shakespeare fan and aficionado. Those
two elements of the fine arts were instilled in Ryan at an early age and
were quickly absorbed through his father’s reading to him about famous
musicians and writers.

As an avid collector of vinyl records, upon hearing the music of The
Beatles for the first time, specifically their Abbey Road album, Ryan knew
his destiny was to write. “Every step of this life’s journey is
a learning experience,” proclaims Mr. Becker. He further adds,
“The Beatles taught me how not to have hate in my heart, why we must
help people in need, and to never hesitate to openly express my feelings in
any situation.”

Ryan credits his even-tempered, soft-spoken mother for his development as a
human being. He tries to emulate her cool-under-pressure manner as well as
her kind and empathetic heart, which she shares with anyone in need. It is
those characteristics he’s inherited that allow him to express himself
through his writing.

Ryan’s childhood carried with it some undeniably emotional bumps and
bruises, explaining “Everyone has struggles, and many have their inner
demons. The only way for me to exorcize them is by taking them out of my
brain and putting them down on paper.”

Writing can be a wonderful escape from reality as well as a fantastic way
of feeling comfort within one’s true reality.

Watching reruns of Smallville on repeat, Ryan asserts that the character of
Clark Kent, portrayed by Tom Welling, has taught him a few things about
growing up. For example, it helped him learn how to speak and interact
better with others—trust in people who treat him right and never
disregard someone who has his best interests at heart.

It is why he proclaims, “Don’t ever let anyone take a torch to
your dreams. Use that fire to motivate you to achieve your greatness, no
matter in which arena you might be endeavoring!”

North Carolina Simon hates her name. As a fourteen-year-old girl growing up
in the 1970s, she has a lot of challenges. People not only make fun of her
name, but also scoff at her eccentric family. Dad’s a hoarder,
Mom’s an unpredictable artist, and her older sister lives with an
autism diagnosis. After a humiliating middle school event shatters her
confidence as a singer, North determines to break free from the stigma
surrounding her family.

As she starts high school, North tells people to call her Carol. Armed with
a new name, she updates her appearance, befriends a popular boy in hopes of
joining his band, distances herself from her two longtime friends, and
avoids being seen with her adoring and dependent sister. Everything seems to
be going according to plan until her sister suddenly disappears. Carol is
forced to face reality. Should she continue to focus all her time and energy
on fitting in or should she surrender to God’s calling on her life?

Finding True North is a prequel to Sticks and Stones, but each can be read
as stand-alone novels.
