​Who loves Italian men, redheaded heroines, and hot jungle sex? 
AFRAID TO FALL, Ancient Passages Book 1 🔥

Gripping adventure, suspense, and hot jungle love.

Guatemala—a country rife with civil unrest, human and narco-trafficking, and looters of antiquity is the perfect backdrop for AFRAID TO FALL—a steamy story of romance, adventure, and suspense.
From Goodreads:
"...Jungle heat and romantic sizzle combine in the debut novel by Sutton Bishop."

"6 beautiful stars!"

"The chemistry was insane between Luca and Ari. I can't even begin to describe how hot some of the scenes on these pages got (I was surprised I didn't burst into flames a couple times, honestly). The temperature in Guatemala is hot, but damn if these two didn't make it all the hotter."

“Epic romance! Ari and Luca’s story: a captivating page turner.”

Yep. The chaotic-looking graphic reflects some of my rather full week. Sorry... 
All of my appearances this week are in Central Indiana. I'll have books and goodies for you. Come see me!  Sutton

"Where can I get Afraid to Fall?"

I'm asked this question often, which is great. Until recently I would have said you can order Afraid to Fall from Amazon or Barnes & Noble, download it to your Kindle, or, if you and I were face-to-face, me (I carry a few with me at all times). Now I can  respond, "Check out your independent bookstore."

​Independent bookstores are so important to their hometowns and readers. They are also supportive of us indie authors. Getting traction and creating readership is exceptionally difficult.

​Recent travels have taken me to parts of Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. I expect to get around more this summer, as possible between finishing Afraid to Hope (Ancient Passages Book 2) and four kids' schedules.

Here's the beginning of what I hope will be a growing list of independent bookstores you should visit, and carry Afraid to Fall. They have SO much on the big box stores. Check them out. I promise you will love them!
