Falling Again

A Buckeye Falls Novel #3

by Libby Kay

Genre: Sweet Contemporary Romance

Welcome back to Buckeye Falls, Ohio!
Does this small town mayor have the political savvy to negotiate his way back into his wife’s heart?

From the outside, Mayor Anthony Snyder and his wife Natalie have it all. Adorable children, a lovely home, and a never-ending supply of free food from the local diner. But behind closed doors, this duo struggles to stay connected. The sparkle they show Buckeye Falls has turned a little dull on the home front.

Over the last decade, things became hectic in the Snyder household. Anthony was elected to office, following in his father’s footsteps. Unfortunately, he’s reminded regularly that these are big shoes to fill. Being the best mayor takes a lot of time—time he’s not spending with his family.

Natalie prides herself on being everything to everyone, but the job of a wife hasn’t been smooth sailing. Wrapped up in her own growing business and their kids’ activities, her time with Anthony has dwindled faster than her secret stash of Halloween candy. Natalie longs for quality time with the man she loves, but it never seems to be in the cards.

A chance to visit their family lake house promises a week away from it all, but can these two reconnect when there’s no distractions? Or is it time for these high achievers to admit that love might be the one thing they can’t master?

With a little help from the residents of Buckeye Falls, this power couple will find their way back to happily ever after.

Falling Again is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone read. Featuring similar marriage conflicts as in Lyssa Kay Adams’ The Bromance Book Club and the small-town romance of Susan Mallery’s Fool’s Gold series, fans will love this second chance love story. After all, who doesn’t deserve to fall in love again?

Being a witch in a world where witchcraft is still illegal is a bit of a challenge…

As a therapist and a natural-born witch, Alexandra Heale has seen her fair share of strange cases. But when she’s called upon to assess a coma patient, she discovers something far beyond her expectations. The patient has been possessed by the spirit of a woman fleeing from a lascivious demon.

As the only witch in Castle Point’s secretive paranormal community with the power to locate the demon and release the spirit, Alexandra faces a daunting task. She knows she needs help, but that means risking exposure in a world where witchcraft is forbidden and punishable by death.

Reluctantly, she turns to Deputy Sheriff Blake Sheraton, a man she finds herself inexplicably drawn to. Together, they must navigate the treacherous waters of Castle Point’s underground community and release the captive spirit before it’s too late.

But as their quest becomes more perilous, Alexandra finds herself torn between her duty and her growing feelings for Blake. And with the threat of burning at the stake looming over them both, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Can Alexandra free the spirit and keep her secret safe, or will she pay the ultimate price for her magic?

It is called the 3 Brains – Head, Heart, and Gut – Brains theory!

It is scientifically proven that we have 3 Brains.

Besides the one we know in our Head, we have a Brain in the Heart and we have a Brain in our Gut.

Both have a complex intrinsic neural network, sufficiently sophisticated to qualify as a ‘Brain”, Their neural network meets all the criteria specified for a Brain including several types of neurons, neurotransmitters, proteins, support cells, and more and it’s complex and elaborate neural circuit allows both Brains to function independently of the Head Brain.

Relationships? Which brain Is Talking will dissect this ground-breaking finding in detail to help you work on your relationships from the inside out.

This book will cover:

✓ Why and how our 3 Brains – Head, Heart, and Gut – are the ultimate solution to healthy relationships

✓ Identifying your default programming – which brain dominates you?

✓ What does it mean to have a Head, Heart or Gut Brain Partner

✓ What the strengths and weaknesses of the 3 Brains in relationships

✓ Extra: How the 3 Brains function in children

✓ And so much more!

So whether you want to create better bonds with the people around you or simply want to live a more fulfilled and happy life, this enlightening read is for you.

About the Author

Christoffel Sneijders was born in Amsterdam (1965), the Netherlands, for already more than thirty years he is focussed on business training, executive coaching, and working as a therapist with clients with severe issues in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the USA, and Australia.

Working with so many people in a direct way gave him the insight and how we are all the same and how we can flourish or suffer in our life. This journey and research lead him to the 3 Brains (Head, Heart, and Gut) theory. This 3 Brains Theory is the simple explanation why we as humans do what we do based on how we biologically are designed with 3 Brains and what their individual job description is. Working with this concept in relationships, personal development or working with trauma is amazingly effective and successful.

But it was not until 2017 when a client pushed him to share this with the world and write a book about it after she had a remarkable recovery after just one session.

His passion is to contribute to the world that is living with a soul and a heart, instead of following the path of selfishness and being focused on consuming to make us feel happy. So many countries, companies, and people are still living according to Machiavelli’s adagium: “When you as a ruler have to choose between fear and love choose fear as people can say no to love but not to fear”

Furthermore, in his passion to spread this theory, he created the 3 Brains – the head, the heart, and gut – coach certification training to train people to work with it. This is an ICF (International Coach Federation) accredited training.

When Raynie’s world goes up in flames, Cohen may be the only one Raynie can rely on…hard to do when she no longer trusts any man, let alone a bullish co-worker.
