ROCKY MOUNTAIN THRILLERS are fast-paced novels with a dangerous edge. Each stand-alone story is set in the brutal and beautiful Rocky Mountains and contains intrigue, romance, and break-neck action. Read all three.
A Reluctant Hunter...
Desperate to provide for her young daughter, accountant Shanna Clarke accepts an invitation to go on a company hunting trip in the Wind River Mountains, even though she's never shot anything in her life. If she can get through it without embarrassing herself, maybe that sought-after promotion will be hers.
But then her boss starts shooting... at her.
...Becomes the Prey
Dodging gunfire and struggling to survive in the Wyoming wilderness, Shanna stows away in the back of a rancher's truck. A snowstorm, a grizzly bear, and a murder rap can't keep Shanna and rancher Jace Lantry from discovering why she was targeted. But knowing the reason is only half the battle... the rest has a good chance of killing them both.
The first book in Ann Voss Peterson's Rocky Mountain Thriller series, Manhunt is a fast-paced, pulse-pounding novel of suspense and romance. It is approximately 55,000 words long.
An earlier draft of this novel was previously published under the title Wyoming Manhunt.

The Billionaire Bargain: Series Collection
A hot and hilarious romantic comedy collection - perfect for fans of Lauren Blakely, Sophie Kinsella, and Julia Kent!
Sexy Australian billionaire Grant Devlin is ruining my life. He exercises shirtless in his office, is notorious for his lunchtime hook-ups, he even yawns sexily. If I didn't need this job so bad, I'd take his black Amex and tell him where to swipe it.
He doesn't even know I exist, but why would he? He jets off to Paris with supermodels, I spend Friday nights with Netflix and a chunk of Pepperidge Farm frozen cake--waiting for his call. Because every time he crashes his yacht, or blows $500k on a single roulette spin in Monte Carlo, I'm the PR girl who has to clean up his mess.
But this time, it's going to take more than just a fat charity donation. This time, the whole company is on the line. He needs to show investors that he's settling down, and Step #1 is pretending to date a nice, stable girl until people forget about what happened with the Playboy Bunnies backstage at the Oscars.
My plan is perfect, except for one thing:
He picks me. Discover the hilarious, romantic world of USA Today bestselling author Lila Monroe!

Whisper of Love (A Whisper Lake Romance Book 1)
Stand-alone Whisper Lake romance, complete with HEA--and plenty of heat and heart along the way!
There is a thin line between love and hate. For Allison Walsh, that line was a tightrope hanging a hundred feet in the air, with no safety net to catch her if--or when--she fell.
Ali was barely treading water after losing her big brother, who was her hero and best friend. His sudden death left her to raise her twin nephews when the man that was supposed to share the responsibility with her went MIA after the funeral.
Kade's MMA training made him a champion, but it never equipped him to fight off the one force beyond his control: his feelings for his best friend's little sister. He's sure his demons mean he's not good enough for her, but he's going to do everything in his power to conquer them.
When the sexy, tattooed fighter shows up on Ali's doorstep out of the blue with a bag hanging over his shoulder and a smile that would make a nun blush, he seems different. But after all he's put her through, Ali's not in a forgive-and-forget kinda mood.
Will Kade prove that he's the man worthy of Ali's heart and trust, or will his past sins determine their future?

The Summer Holidays Survival Guide
***FREE TO DOWNLOAD UNTIL OCTOBER 12TH!***
A comedy for every parent who has survived the school summer holidays
Two parents. Three children. One senile grandad. Six weeks. How bad could it possibly be?
For teacher, Ben Robinson, the school summer holidays mean one thing - spending six weeks with his kids. This year, however, he also has his father and one very angry wife to contend with. The name of the game is simple: survive.
Ben embarks on a summer of self-discovery that includes, amongst other things, becoming besotted by a beautiful Australian backpacker, an accidental Brexit march and a road rage attack. There's also the matter of saving his marriage, which is proving harder than he imagined, mainly due to an unfortunate pyramid scheme and one quite large bottom.
But when Ben learns his father has a secret, it takes the whole family on a trip to Scotland that will make or break their summer - and perhaps Ben's life.
From Jon Rance, bestselling author of Dan And Nat Got Married and About Us, comes a comedy about one man, one family, trying to survive the hardest six weeks of the year together.
**Featuring an exclusive extract from the Christmas special, The Family Christmas Survival Guide, out later this year!**

Dark Thoughts (Refuge Book 1)
Can love redeem a monster?
The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he's a monster, scarred both on his face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn't control.
Until he meets her.
Dita has one mission--to kill the three targets claiming sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long lifespan, Kralj isn't certain of another being's intentions. The tiny assassin is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can't predict her movements, can't control her, can't stop wanting her.
Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he'll touch her, taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.
Dark Thoughts is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance.

The Fourth Element Trilogy: Boxed Set
Gladiator meets Romeo and Juliet in this "spellbinding fantasy" trilogy (Kirkus Reviews) set in ancient Persia!
They are the light against the darkness.
The steel against the necromancy of the Druj.
And they use demons to hunt demons....
Nazafareen lives for revenge. A girl of the isolated Four-Legs Clan, all she knows about the King's elite Water Dogs is that they leash wicked creatures called daevas to protect the empire from the Undead. But when scouts arrive to recruit young people with the gift, she leaps at the chance to join their ranks. To hunt the monsters that killed her sister.
Scarred by grief, she's willing to pay any price, even if it requires linking with a daeva named Darius. Human in body, he's possessed of a terrifying power, one that Nazafareen controls. But the golden cuffs that join them have an unwanted side effect. Each experiences the other's emotions, and human and daeva start to grow dangerously close.
As they pursue a deadly foe across the arid waste of the Great Salt Plain to the glittering capital of Persepolae, unearthing the secrets of Darius's past along the way, Nazafareen is forced to question his slavery--and her own loyalty to the empire. But with an ancient evil stirring in the north, and a young conqueror sweeping in from the west, the fate of an entire civilization may be at stake...
So begins an epic story of adventure, romance and betrayal that leads to undiscovered magical realms and a final confrontation with a demon queen bent on destroying them all.
Praise for the Fourth Element Trilogy
"A spellbinding fantasy with some moral weight and a meatier narrative than usual, one likely to leave readers quite satisfied... This tale's grand scope is set off beautifully by its intimate start. The story grows wonderfully from such a small seed, and it is the moral and subjective implications of the vastness and impersonality of the Empire that work so well to drive the narrative. The plot builds effectively, and maintains a swift pace. Nazafareen's initial simplistic motivation, hatred, becomes complicated by her link to Darius, and evolves into something much more intriguing and complex. This transition is helped by the clarity with which the characters are drawn. The immensity of the Empire occasionally threatens to smother the personal tale at the heart of the story, but, like shadows around a candle flame, it never quite manages that feat." -Kirkus Reviews
"Fantasy lovers who enter this world will be wooed by its expansive world-building, soul-crushing romance, deeply layered characters, and page-turning twists." --Flylef Reviews
"One of the best trilogies I've ever read. I will read anything by Kat Ross. Hats off to her for creating these wonderful characters and making us fall in love with them!" --Cover to Cover Reviews
"Kat Ross turned me into a puddle of emotions with her final book of the Fourth Element series! Action, betrayal, romance and demons conclude this story which can keep anyone captivated till the final page." --Milky Way of Books
"An addictive, action-packed, glorious page-turner!" -Am Kinda Busy Reading
"I really hate the word 'epic' because, let's face it, it's so overused and it's lost its true meaning, but this book [The Midnight Sea] deserves that word." -Book Reader Chronicles
"This is truly a grand finale of a book, mysteries from the very beginning of the series are put to rest and our heroes win in unexpected ways. Queen of Chaos delivers a beautiful ending that is perfect as it is but is left open enough for another story to seamlessly fit in." --Bibliobibuli
"I'm never a read-a-book-in-one-sitting kind of person, but I totally did it with Queen of Chaos. Then I hugged my Kindle and wanted to start the series all over again." --Rattle the Stars
"Extremely engrossing and so fast-paced...A truly exceptional series." --The InkedIn Book Blog

Sports & The Single Dad
One football player. One personal assistant turned nanny. Too much tension to mention.
Paxton
I was used to women coming and going in my life, but when a baby I never knew existed landed in my lap, I turned to the one woman I could always count on. For more than a year, Avery has run every aspect of my life seamlessly, with a poise and grace I'd never truly appreciated until I saw her holding my child. Before my eyes, she morphed from personal assistant extraordinaire to hot mama material and I needed her like never before.
Law & The Single Dad
Two lawyers. One divorce. And a past to overcome.
Leo Ward
Born a billionaire and employed as a corporate lawyer, I was driven, determined and obviously easily distracted by a nice ass. How else could I explain marrying a gold digger? In my defense, Sable was sneakier than most. And one fateful night, she tricked me and changed the course of my life.
Now, we're in the middle of a heated divorce, fighting for custody of our son and my money. I've always prided myself on being prepared and thinking three steps ahead, but Liz suddenly reappearing in my life was completely unexpected. We'd been friends in law school, and nearly more. Back then, I'd been forced to let her go. I wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
Sex & The Single Dad
One secret baby. One single dad. One shot at redemption.
Tradd
They called me a rock god, but from where I stood, I looked like a huge loser. My career had always meant everything to me. Music was my life, until I met Lauryn. Though I never planned to get serious, I fell hard, and for no good reason, she suddenly disappeared. Somehow, she had become the music in my life and without her, everything was meaningless. Then I spotted Lauryn at a wedding, and three things happened. I sang her our song to show I loved her still, I learned we had a son, and through some terrible divine intervention, I had one more chance to make everything right.

Susan might be in his brother's age group, but Tyler's not about to let Nolan waltz off with the first woman to snare his attention in ages.
As the show's ratings go through the roof, Susan finds herself falling for the wrong man--and her simple plan for happiness on the brink of falling apart.

Romance
Bad
True power is never held by good men, only the most perfect of villains. And she and I are both villains...
I stole her, and she's so very angry. The cartel princess doesn't like being a pretty little pawn. She fights me when she should fear me. But oh, how her defiance excites me.
She would kill me if she could, and I'd ruin her if I had an ounce less control. What a twisted game we play with sweet threats and cruel promises. I crave her madness in the most depraved ways because I know she'll be so beautiful when she bleeds.
A queen who could set the world on fire and a king who would call it rain. Two very bad people who want very bad things are never safe together.
Some love stories have no heroes.

Archangel's Kiss: Paranormal Angel Romance (The Cursed Angels Series Book 1)
Gargoyles, Angels, and Vampires. Deadly enemies. An Angel Prince looking for his fated mate to break his curse. A Vampire King with a heart of stone.
Aria loses her humanity after being saved by a monster she believed only to exist in horror stories. But everything isn't what it seems when her savior becomes a handsome angel prince who awakened her ancient and deadly powers. Powers that can destroy the world, or save it.
Only true love can break the prince's curse and stop him from turning into stone for all eternity. Despite the overwhelming chemistry between Aria and the prince, they only have thirty days to fall in love before their bond is put to the test.
Peril strikes in the form of an addictive drug that can kill vampires and angels are to blame. Conflict is blooming and the peace treaty between the Angel Prince and the Vampire King is threatened.
Aria is caught in a love triangle when the Vampire King discovers that the girl he had refused to take as his is now the prince's new mate. Tormented by the rash decision that almost killed her, the king now believes that he's saving Aria from the clutches of the manipulative prince.
Finding out that supernatural creatures exist becomes less terrifying for Aria than discovering what she's destined to become if she lets her Archangel's abilities take over and change her.
Aria is much more than the average, eighteen-year-old girl who wanted to find the cure for cancer. She's now a deadly Archangel warrior and the future queen of the angels and gargoyles if only she can manage to break her lover's curse and keep the Vampire King at bay.
What would you give up for true love? Find out in Archangel's Kiss.

Cygnus 5: The Complete Trilogy: A galaxy spanning space opera
Hell hath no fury like a woman wronged
Taken advantage of by her superior officer, her career in ruins, war hero Captain Aurora Campos has been shipwrecked on a penal planet. Abandoned by her government, with no one to trust but the escaped deviant she was sent there to capture, she has a lot of rage to go around.
They want her to disappear. To shut up. To stop making waves. But that's not going to happen.
For Bryant Jones - the 'deviant' in question - Aurora is the villain. She's the war-dog of a Christian Fundamentalist state that conquered his world and arrested him for 'unnatural' crimes. 'Crimes' that were perfectly legal in his world.
Yet in the face of a planet full of angry felons, it's a case of work together or die.
And sometimes all it takes to light the fire that changes history is two victims united against a common oppressor.
(Though discovering an abandoned alien doomsday weapon also helps.)

"This book is exciting and fun and poignant and just a cracking good read. It's very cool to read a sci-fi adventure where both main characters are people of colour and one of them is bisexual. It's not often in books that a genius queer black man and a staunch badass woman of colour get to save the world together and I absolutely loved that."

Defiant Guardians: A Collection of Epic Fantasy Tales from Five Wizards of Fantasy
A Collection of Epic Fantasy Tales from Five Wizards of Fantasy
The Silent Blade - by Jacob Peppers
The Downs, the poor district of the city of Avarest, is home to cutthroats and thieves, pickpockets and prostitutes, all of whom pay tribute to one of two powerful crime bosses. It is also home to Aaron Envelar, a disillusioned sellsword known as the Silent Blade, who cares nothing for the criminal overlords or their schemes, who only wants to survive and make a little coin in the process.
But when a group of unwitting thugs steal his mother's necklace, the only link he has to his murdered parents, Aaron decides that sometimes gold isn't enough--sometimes, blood is the only payment worth taking. And whatever else will come, this time, he will not be silent. After all, when you take everything from a man, what else does he have to lose?
The Killings at Rockman's Ford - by D.W. Hawkins
A dangerous fugitive. A deadly secret. An unwelcome champion.
For generations, the seasons have turned with indifference to the sleepy hamlet of Rockman's Ford. Residents and visitors alike would say it's a delightful place where terrible things don't happen--not murder, and never sorcery. Those things happen to other people in other places.
When a man is found murdered by hostile magic, the peaceful illusion is rocked by the emergence of dark secrets.
For D'Jenn Pike, a Warlock of the Conclave, hostile magic is an everyday occurrence. When he's asked to help find the killer, his soul is tested by the chase. With bodies mounting, D'Jenn is all that stands between Rockman's Ford and vengeful magic, but his courage could get him hanged alongside the murderer.
The guilty must pay, but the gods have no interest in justice.
The Renegade Apprentice - by Andy Peloquin
A fight to the death. The prize: freedom.
Evren hates the endless torments and cruelties of his life as an apprentice priest. When he finds the opportunity to flee, he seizes it in both fists.
But the streets of Vothmot hold their own share of dangers. He must battle street thugs, rival gangs, even his own trusted comrades to truly be free.
Dragon Born - by Aaron Hodges
For five long years, Enala has lived in exile. And for five years she has trained, mastering the arts of war and survival. Yet she remains trapped, forbidden to leave the boundaries of the forest. Smothered by her parents, she longs for adventure, for the chance to escape the stagnation of her life. Desperate, Enala turns to the only creatures that might help. The Gold Dragons...
Cambion - by Stevie Collier
A pastor for a mother.
A demon for a father.
The devil wanted a son, and, using his evil trickery, was able to obtain one while simultaneously spitting in God's face.
Follow the path of a teen once loved by everyone who is now hated.
What makes him so different isn't just the horns that sprout from his head, but the powers the devil has bestowed upon him.
Will he use them to slaughter the followers of God? Those who so easily turned their backs on him? Will he accept his heir to the dark throne?
Or, will he use his powers to fight his serpent of a father and all his minions?

The Mate
A prequel to the scorching paranormal romance, The Boss, coming September 24th.
Maddie Thompson's life just fell down a rabbit hole. Finding out she's a dragon shifter was one thing--she never quite fit into the human world, and this new reality feels...strangely right. However, discovering the next step is to choose a mate, and if she chooses wrong she'll die, is the other side of crazy. Especially when she already left a piece of her heart with someone who didn't want it.
To say dragon enforcer Fallon Conleth was shocked when the Mating Council summoned him as a potential mate for a newly found dragon doesn't quite cover it. A mate is rare and precious and many dragons never find theirs. Fallon isn't sure he's worthy of the honor, not when so many deserve it more. He'll just go through the motions and return home alone...until he sees Maddie. The human woman he reluctantly let walk away.
Fallon already broke Maddie's heart once, but if he can't convince her that they're meant to be, she'll die... and he won't be far behind.
Maddie Thompson's life just fell down a rabbit hole. Finding out she's a dragon shifter was one thing--she never quite fit into the human world, and this new reality feels...strangely right.

Especially when she already left a piece of her heart with someone who didn't want it.

FAKE IT TILL I MAKE IT: A laugh out loud romantic comedy!
Alex Hunter was getting on just fine, blagging her way through life and enjoying her London lifestyle... perhaps a little too much.
But when she loses her job, gets dumped and is made homeless within the space of a fortnight, Alex reluctantly returns to her home town - a place she thought she'd left for good 10 years earlier. With barely a penny to her name...
Alex is surprised to find there are some advantages to moving back: reconnecting with old friends who had been such a big part of her teenage years. Although being back brings up old feelings Alex thought she had buried for good, feelings that should be well and truly left in the past - especially when it came to her old high school boyfriend, Lewis Ashworth.
Desperate to return to her London lifestyle, Alex takes advice from her old school friend Cody McKenzie, who suggests she only has to "fake it till she makes it" How hard can that be? After all, hadn't she been doing that for years?
Whether reluctantly trying to drive her nan's mobility scooter, putting bullying bosses in their place or looking for creative ways to avoid her mum's increasingly weird cooking, follow Alex's laugh-out-loud journey to "making it"

Camera Shy
When internet influencer Nikolai Fraser sublets his apartment to technophobic luddite Samuel Moran, there's instant chemistry between them. But sometimes chemistry blows up in your face.
Nik has hundreds of thousands of adoring followers online. In the real world, he has a
scumbag ex-roommate and a ransacked apartment. Samuel might be a pompous bastard who's uncomfortably attractive, but he's not a thief, which is all Nik needs in a new roommate.
After Samuel moves in, the fun really begins -- for him, at least. He leaves his stuff all over the apartment, brings his friends over for loud benefits, and seizes every chance to get a rise out of Nik. Samuel is the sort of guy who would rather read an encyclopedia than use a search engine, and he won't shut up about it.
Nik is infuriated by Samuel's superiority complex, but he's even more annoyed by how much he enjoys their sniping banter. The more time they spend together, the more Samuel's obnoxious qualities become endearing, and soon the pair develop a genuine friendship.
The problem: Nik wants more. But even if they can reconcile their differences, can a man like Samuel commit to a guy like Nik?
Camera Shy is a standalone enemies-to-lovers gay romance novel with a happy ending, no cliffhangers, and a whole load of cheesy romance tropes. It is told in first person from Nik's point of view. This story contains an even fluff-to-angst ratio, sharp banter, and a scene where our leads get stranded in a storm together.

The Girl In Between: The Girl In Between Series Book 1
Bryn Reyes is a real life sleeping beauty. Afflicted with Klein-Levin Syndrome, she suffers episodes of prolonged sleep that steal weeks, and sometimes even months, from her life. But unlike most KLS patients, she doesn't spend each episode in a catatonic state or wake up with no recollection of the time she's missed. Instead, Bryn spends half her life in an alternate reality made up of her memories. For Bryn, the past is a place, until one day a boy she's never met before washes up on the illusory beach of her dreams with no memory of who he is.
But the appearance of this strange boy isn't the only thing that's changed. Bryn's symptoms are worsening, her body weakening as she's plagued by hallucinations even while awake. Her only hope of finding a cure is to undergo experimental treatment created by a German specialist. But when Dr. Banz reveals that he knows more about her strange symptoms than he originally let on, Bryn learns that the boy in her head might actually be the key to understanding what's happening to her, and worse, that if she doesn't find out his identity before it's too late, they both may not survive.

Council of Consorts Prequel: A Paranormal Reverse Harem
The Nightwalkers have been forced underground by humanity's treachery. The Oasis, their haven beneath the city of Chicago, has become infected with a fatal fever that is wiping out the last remaining species of Nightwalkers. The dream of a future is crumbling.
Someone must find the Drayada Stone and bring it back to restore life to the dying underground community. It is a perilous journey, and those who take it will be forced to go where no Nightwalker has been in ages: Topside.
The Underground Council appoints this task to a young witch, Zora, who will be accompanied by three unlikely companions she has grown up with in The Oasis. An angel, a vampire, and a werewolf.
There is an ancient evil that stands between the Drayada Stone and the four companions. Zora must look deep within herself to find the power to destroy the biggest enemy of the Nightwalkers, and in so doing, she might just destroy herself.
Will four young Nightwalkers be enough to save a dying species, or will they be buried beneath the rock and rubble of history and forgotten by humanity?

The Portal: Science Fiction Meets Fantasy Head On in This Action Adventure Novel (The Birdmen of Beta Earth Series Book 1)
"...intriguing..." "...well written..." "...moves at a good pace..."
Deelo Con, a disgraced war commander in the Daylon Empire, is the first to discover the Portal at the Battle of Wieese, but when he is sucked up into it, he emerges ten years later with his identity forgotten, odd and extraordinary magical powers, and no sense of loyalty. As his memories slowly come back, Deelo is pressed for the location of the Portal, because whoever encounters it gains the abilities to hurl stones from staffs, raise lava from the ground, and see beyond one's own eyes.
With the balance of Power in the Daylon Empire hanging precariously in the hands of Deelo's brother, the self-crowned emperor of the New Daylon Empire, Deelo must decide to whom he should lead to the Portal and grant these destructive powers, and whom he should leave to die.
But Deelo must act quickly and decisively, because the Portal goes both ways. The real invaders are coming, and they're not just coming for the Daylon's territories: they're coming for their souls.
"The Portal is an intriguing action adventure with fully flushed out social and political systems, and a main character that struggles with moral decisions while forced into precarious positions. All the while, there are people being tortured and battles a plenty in search of The Portal, but is this religious icon a saving grace... or the "E"-day for everyone, an end to humanity as they know it."

The Cynical Solipsist: A Revolution Sought Within
In contrast to intellectual intelligence where the analysis of the self is made by reasoning, dealing with emotional intelligence requires a re-living of the situations that fabricated the psychological problems in the first place. And so, Max tries to rebuild himself, and questions some of the things that he had taken for granted as his own identity. He experiences a beguiling dream state in which he meets different characters from his psyche, whom challenge his understanding of the world with philosophical musings, cogitative reveries and a ruminative longing for the ghost of a love gone by.

Conspiracy: Earth
Nick Kalvane is being watched by a shadowy group who have an interest in abilities that Nick is unaware he possesses. While enjoying a trip to the top secret Groom Lake military base, the door to the black ops world opens.
Nick is indoctrinated that an extraterrestrial race from a planet that comes into close orbit with Earth every thirty six hundred years genetically engineered humans as a slave race. A civil war on that planet halted the program but Niburu is set for another near Earth encounter and they aim to pick up where they left off.
Nick's DNA shows potential to withstand the activation of telepathic abilities that were purposefully omitted during genetic engineering and this ability is key to the plan Bill's group has developed to stop the alien agenda.
Nick agrees to cooperate only as a means to buy time to escape but the awakening of dormant abilities has given Nick an unexpected connection with humanity that compels him to complete the mission for the sake of mankind.
It's a trip through space to preempt an alien take over our planet that ends with the dawning realization that is even more frightening than any conspiracy.

Sex Education: A Woman's Awakening, Book 1
The temptation to sin and lure of the forbidden can be impossible to ignore.
Sex Education, A Woman's Awakening: The Series: Rebecca Beiler's recent sexual urges are at odds with her strict religious upbringing. Married at 17 to a sexually repressed man who left her a widow, at age 26 she now finds herself yearning to be taken hard by hot men with chiseled bodies. When an indiscretion with a neighbor leads to a six-month expulsion from her community, Rebecca attempts to purge herself of her sinful desires by giving into them, in full. Unfortunately, each new intoxicating encounter only intensifies her cravings -- intense lustful cravings for physical ecstasy that lead Rebecca to dark recesses of the sexual underground and compel her to do things the likes of which she never imagined herself capable.
In Book 1 Rebecca inadvertently sees a pornographic image that spurs in her a dormant desire for sex. One thing leads to another until she's forced to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, one that will lead her to question her former life and spark a fierce hunger for physical pleasure.
This series was formerly published under the name Shunned.
Excerpt:
Jacob knew he should leave, but he couldn't tear himself away from this amazing spectacle. He'd never seen a naked woman before, much less one having sex with herself. He watched silently for a full minute, his own body reacting to Rebecca's display.
When her orgasm overcame her, Rebecca tightened her pelvis and welcomed it. In that same instant, her eyes opened reflexively and she saw the young man in the doorway. Her body immediately halted the orgasm as Rebecca screamed and grabbed the blanket to cover herself.
"Jacob!" she shouted. She'd forgotten having asked her neighbor to stop by that afternoon to help her patch a leaking roof. Jacob couldn't move; he remained at the bedroom door, transfixed. She could see the intensity of his glazed stare. He tried to talk, but nothing came out. Seconds passed without a word being uttered.
Then Jacob turned away toward the front door. He hadn't taken three steps when Rebecca bounded from the bed and ran after him, wrapping the blanket around her as she went. "Wait, Jacob!" Rebecca shouted. She caught him as he was reaching for the knob, grabbing his hand. The young man reluctantly turned to face her.
"Don't!" she pleaded. "You can't... If you tell anyone, we will..." Jacob wasn't looking at her face, though, but rather at her exposed left breast, which had slipped out from the blanket. He reached and ran his hand over it as Rebecca stood stunned. She was about to admonish him when he touched her nipple, pinching it slightly and causing her to exhale audibly. Looking quickly around the room, she determined that nobody could see them in this spot, so close to the front door. She decided not to stop Jacob.
As Jacob continued to massage her breast, Rebecca felt her desire rise. Looking at his face, she released the blanket, allowing it to cascade to the floor.

But I certainly did not expect a demigod to be walking around in ripped jeans with a beat up face and complaining about a headache. I didn't expect someone with such sad, tired eyes. But I also know that under normal circumstances, that same face is flawless."

HOUSE OF GUARDIANS
When 17-year-old Laurel Harper decides to go live with her estranged father and stepfamily, she's unaware of the fact that her fate was already sealed the day she was born. She is now exactly where some higher power wants her to be. But it's not until she meets the proud and mysterious Sam Laurens that she feels something strange is going on. Why does he keep interfering in her life? Then Laurel finds out about Sam's ominous ancestry and a whole different fear arises. Fear of who Sam really is. Fear of her own feelings. And when she learns the dark truth about her own future, a sinister secret that will change everything as soon as she turns nineteen, she wants to run and hide, but soon realizes that there is no hiding from fate. Sam may be the only one who can help her escape her destiny, but then she has to start trusting him again, and time is of the essence because he has his own fate to deal with. Still, Sam is determined to stop Laurel from meeting her doom, even if that means he has to make a drastic move that will separate them for good.
*Author's note: Although some reviews speak of book 1 as a young adult novel, the trilogy is not intended as YA. Readers should know it contains violence, strong language, and graphic sexual content. Book 1 and 2 end on a cliffhanger.

"She thinks we're a bunch of overconfident aristocrats descended from an ancient royal family led by a group of powerful men." Sampson
"The threat in those words doesn't escape me. I had kind of expected that he wouldn't pull me against him and kiss me senseless, but I hadn't expected having to leave this soon either. Hesitantly, I take one step closer and place the cake box on the porch before I turn around and walk away. This is starting to get old." Laurel
"I never seem to be able to call my mother by anything other than her first name. It probably has something to do with my Spartan upbringing. I don't remember her ever comforting me when she left me behind crying on Olympus. And yet I respect her, because I know very well that raising me has been no easy task." Sampson
"You won't hurt me, Sam. You hurt people who hurt me." Laurel
"I toss aside the towel and saunter into the bedroom. Despite the hard water pressure of the shower and the stretching, my body is still tight, and my muscles feel cramped. I could use a massage, but there is no time left to work out the kinks. I squat and search for a pair of boxers in my bag. Then I unzip one of the garment bags hanging on the closet door, take out a dark, custom-made suit, and put on a white dress shirt. I button up and loop a tie around my neck. As I push a cufflink through the hole of the sleeve, Laurel gets into my head. Laurel, who had driven me to the brink of madness by taking the cufflinks off. I can still smell the tempting scent of her skin, still feel her fingertips carefully exploring my abdomen. I feel myself getting hard when I think of the sensuous way she touched me. I can almost taste her. I almost did taste her." Sampson
"This is me, Laurel. Complicated. No relationships, no expectations, no promises." Sampson

Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts 1)
Nathaniel is the 1st book in USA Today Bestselling and Amazon #1 author, Carole Mortimer's, NEW paranormal series, DRAGON HEARTS.
Warriors, from the mists of time?
Dragons, of myth and legend?
Or both?
Taking a much-needed holiday in North Wales, journalist Chloe Evans discovers a castle not listed on any of the dozen or so maps she has of the area. The nearest thing she can find is the remains of a castle that used to be there but crumbled into ruin many centuries before. Her curiosity getting the better of her, Chloe decides to find out more about this imposing grey stone castle and anyone who might live there.
The locals, she discovers, call it Pendragon Castle. When Chloe asks them more probing questions some say there are half a dozen male members of the original family still in residence, and that they're brothers. Others claim there to be more, or less, than that number. But all, without fail, describe those men as being big and muscular, more handsome than any man has a right to be, with eyes capable of mesmerizing and seducing any woman who falls under their spell. Some of those people add a knowing wink, others a warning not to venture too near the castle, and to certainly keep her distance from the men living there.
Visitors staying at the same small hotel as Chloe talk of seeing bright lights and helicopters landing on the mountain late at night, and of hearing strange noises that sound like the roars of wild animals.
There was a story here, Chloe was certain of it.
Whatever the mystery is regarding Pendragon Castle and the men who live there, Chloe decides she isn't leaving Wales until she's discovered exactly what's going on.
While exploring the area around the castle, Chloe is challenged by the dark and taciturn Nathaniel. A man who fits the description of the castle's inhabitants exactly: well over six feet tall, handsome as sin, with shoulders wide enough to fill a doorway, and eyes the colour of the clearest emerald.
The moment she gazes into those mesmerizing green eyes Chloe realises she should have run while she still could.

That Sweet and Savage Land
A treacherous love in a land of turmoil
When Elizabeth Delacourt marries her husband, William, she does not expect a life of adventure and colour.

It's summertime in the little village of Welford. The sun beams down on the rolling green Yorkshire hills, and the scent of freshly cut grass is in the air.
Local vet Mandy Hope and her boyfriend Jimmy Marsh are happily setting up their new home, and life at animal rescue centre Hope Meadows is as busy as ever. When the Welford Garden Committee announces a Midsummer Fair, Mandy is thrilled to be invited to judge the animal-themed fancy dress competition.
The whole of Welford turns out for the fair, and the fancy dress competition is a roaring success. Three-year-old Herbie and eighteen-month-old Kiran come as Bo Beep and her lost sheep and Mandy can't help but melt. Maybe having children of her own isn't such a ridiculous idea after all? But in the euphoric mayhem of the day, little Kiran goes missing and a frantic search ensures.
When the lost lamb is rumoured to have been seen on nearby Honeysuckle Lane, it's all hands on deck to solve the mystery and restore him to his rightful home.

In October 2014, I decided to write a little book inbetween the Snatchers series (a little tradition of mine) and began writing a story about a father and son that were trying to survive in the Zombie apocalypse. I called it Dead Dayz
In December 2014, I decided to ditch the first draft and concentrate on a new Snatchers book, Snatchers 5: The Dead Don't Yield. I didn't like the finished Dead Dayz, but some individuals who had read the book liked the father and son story, so I decided to incorporate it into the fifth Snatchers book.
The story was about David Johnson and his son, Harry, (Paul and Kyle Dickson), and I saved the best bits from the Dead Dayz book and put it into the Snatchers book.
The following you are about to read is the original Dead Dayz book. If you have read the Snatchers series, then this book still has many parts/chapters that you haven't read before, but the story will certainly be familiar. And if you haven't read the Snatchers series before, then everything I have talked about doesn't matter.
Dead Dayz was initially a standalone novel, before it was dissected for the Snatchers 5 book that was eventually released in February 2015, and it seemed a shame to leave it sitting on my hard drive in its original form.

And she's determined to prove it.
Blame it on Texas is a story of the power of love to overcome any adversity, the strength of family and friendship, and the joy that comes with being part of something bigger than yourself.

The Billionaire Bargain
Sexy Australian billionaire Grant Devlin is ruining my life. He exercises shirtless in his office, is notorious for his lunchtime hook-ups, he even yawns sexily. If I didn't need this job so bad, I'd take his black Amex and tell him where to swipe it.
He doesn't even know I exist, but why would he? He jets off to Paris with supermodels, I spend Friday nights with Netflix and a chunk of Pepperidge Farm frozen cake--waiting for his call. Because every time he crashes his yacht, or blows $500k on a single roulette spin in Monte Carlo, I'm the PR girl who has to clean up his mess.
But this time, it's going to take more than just a fat charity donation. This time, the whole company is on the line. He needs to show investors that he's settling down, and Step #1 is pretending to date a nice, stable girl until people forget about what happened with the Playboy Bunnies backstage at the Oscars.
My plan is perfect, except for one thing:

Entirely Too Gay: M/M High School Romance
Wrestling: A school-sanctioned way to roll around on the floor with sweaty guys. Why didn't more gay kids join the wrestling team? The other wrestlers.
The days of being picked on and beat up were over for Alfonso Flores. Instead of being the scrawny nerd everyone remembered, he returned to high school bigger and buffer. He just wants to be left alone in peace. How does he end up joining the wrestling team?
A guy, of course.
To get closer to Dallas, he'll go where no gay boy has gone before: the wrestling team. Even if he doesn't receive a warm welcoming. For big macho men, wrestlers were pretty self-conscious. Maybe it was a gay guy joining the team. Maybe they understood just how insane their sport was. It was pretty gay.
What's the saying? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Alfonso's going to do both. He'll try not to get killed in the testosterone filled, macho world of groping other guys for sport all while getting closer to Dallas and dealing with his overprotective father. If he doesn't survive, at least he got to feel Dallas Archer's muscles. Definitely worth it.
This is a humorous, light hearted story about getting out of your comfort zone and getting the guy.

She's had enough of men like Matt; her father was a philandering charmer who left devastation in his wake. But the more she gets to know Matt, the more she realizes he's not like her father at all.
Success has eluded Matt's acting career. His family is pressuring him to give up acting and work full-time as a chef at the family business, Malone's Irish Pub. Matt likes to cook but acting is his passion. He's nearly thirty now, and meeting Chelsea makes him think of settling down. Should he give up his dreams for love's sake?
Chelsea is starting to believe she can trust Matt with her heart when strange romantic notes begin showing up at the art gallery where she works. Then she's followed home from the bus stop late one night, and her apartment is broken into. All the evidence points to Matt as the culprit. Is he the kind, funny, sincere man she's falling in love with, or some kind of stalker? Will the real Matt Malone please stand up?

Save the Date
Randall Young has one duty as his sister's "man of honor": to ensure she has the best wedding ever. That includes an epic bachelorette pub crawl, leading him to Portland's most popular gay bar... and into Hunter Mitchell's well-muscled arms. A one-night stand with a sexy soldier is the perfect way to ditch that pesky V-card and get himself in the mood for a weekend of flowers, cake, and nuptials.
Hunter wants to blow off some steam before he stands up as his best friend's best man. He's already married to his military career, not looking to settle down. He certainly doesn't intend for the one guy he met (and, okay, got off with) in Oregon to be his counterpart in the wedding party. Or a virgin. Definitely wasn't intending that. Luckily, they have the rest of the weekend for Hunter to show Randall what he's been missing.
The more they're thrown together by the wedding, the more Randall and Hunter grow together outside the bedroom... which is dangerous because there's a lot more than 2500 miles standing between them and a happily-ever-after. If they want a future beyond their wedding weekend hookup, both must find the courage to take a chance on love.

The Shadow of the Rogue: The Rogue's Gambit (The Rouge's Gambit)
Trapped in a VRMMO- Will Cassie and friends make it out alive?
Hi, my name is Cassie James. I live with my parents in what's left of Seattle. For a twenty year old girl, I'm pretty typical. To pay for my gaming habit, I work at the local supermarket. While the job is really tedious, it's better than unemployment.
Most nights you can find me plugged in. That's when I can get a moments peace from my parents drunken bickering. Still, my life was fairly boring, until I decided to try Odyssey Online! I'm super addicted to leveling Kira Nightwind, my Shadow Thief!
However, something's gone terribly wrong!
You see, an epic level NPC has grown self-aware. And Grymme is not a dragon to be trifled with! He has mind-napped over five-hundred people. Leaving them trapped in the game. He's also launched a massive offensive to take over Odyssey Online, one kingdom at a time. The only way to stop him, is to locate three legendary items. Each one containing an unlock that makes us players more powerful. The problem being Grymme has agents everywhere. And they are willing to do anything to win!
If that weren't enough, I'm developing a serious girl crush on Shauna, a very cute Elf healer. With the help of Leonidas the Paladin, Cairngorm the Wizard, and Yvir the Barbarian, we might just defeat Grymme and win our freedom!

Fishtown Blood Bath: Lampreyhead Book One
Being an immortal blood-sucking ghoul has its perks. After five hundred years, Ned's business as a gigolo in Philadelphia is booming: his clients get three-day orgasms and he gets enough food and cash to keep him safe and solvent. And since he transforms into a seven-foot lamprey--he's still in the dark as to why that little inconvenience keeps happening--he's learned to keep a tub of water handy. He's smart like that.
In fact, his utter lack of knowledge of his past and what his true nature is drives Ned to search out the most despicable undead horrors of the world's criminal paranormal underbelly. Armed only with the knowledge that he and his vicious family of bloodsuckers were created by a supremely evil creature in Austria, Ned comes to meet the corrupt necromancer Visconti and his ridiculous werewolf patient Raimond.
In this Clive Barker meets Stephen King style black comedy mash-up, Ned must defeat the stooge-like lethal villain, learn the true nature of the magic that fuels his undead life, save humanity from a cataclysmic convergence of a comet and arcane spells and--some how--get the girl. Will the undead gigolo reject triumph, or will he just suck?

War
Steele's Death March.: By Blood Spilt (By Blood Split Book 3)
Sergeant Steele watched with growing unease from the ramparts of the Citadel in Lang Son at the number of Japanese troops patrolling the narrow streets. Heavy artillery pieces pointed in the direction of the small French Foreign Legion unit.
Under command of the French Vichy government an uneasy truce between the French in Indochina and Japanese forces was about to erupt into all out war.
The Japanese coup d'etat in French Indochina, known as Meigo Sakusen (Operation Bright Moon), took place on 9 March 1945 towards the end of World War II. Japan was losing the war, an Allied invasion and an uprising of French troops in Indochina was inevitable. Simultaneously the Japanese attacked the French garrisons across the country.
Steele had attempted to persuade all the senior officers not to attend a dinner in their honour held by the Japanese. Tortured and executed the senior officers walked straight into a deadly trap.
Now the troops, led by battle hardened veterans like Steele resist massively overwhelming odds. After witnessing hundreds of prisoners massacred along the banks of the river the Legionnaires must fight their way through the Japanese lines in the hope of linking up with surviving Legion units and French Regulars. They must move towards Son La and Dien Bien Phu where they will fight costly rearguard actions.
Separated from the main column Steele must lead his small unit through enemy held areas, across raging rivers and over towering mountains all the while pursued by the relentless Japanese. Hunger, disease and the dense jungle lay ahead. Their objective, hold off the advancing Japanese long enough for the Regulars and civilians to cross over into China a thousand miles away.
Based on actual historical fact and first hand accounts by survivors, this novel describes the brutal Japanese Coup and the extraordinary feats of courage by the Legionnaires fighting every step of the long journey to safety. Sergeant Steele must not only contend with the Japanese but also his nemesis, Jean. Their eternal feud carries on with Jean leading a Japanese unit set on annihilating Steele and his men.
Steele looks at the men under his command. "How many of them will make it to China?" Setting off into the night the sounds of gunfire erupt further up ahead. It is going to be one hell of a march!

LEGEND OF THE LAST VIKINGS - Free Alternate Ending
In 1066 upon the death of Edward the Confessor, Harald Hadraada, King of Norway challenged for the crown of England, claiming it was his through his bloodline. He led a large force of over 400 longships to England and after a few initial victories was defeated during the Battle of Stamford Bridge, near York, by Harold Goodwinson. Only 24 longships returned to Norway.
Two weeks later Harold Goodwinson and his army, exhausted by the forced-march from York to Hastings, were defeated William the Conqueror. And the rest they say is history. Or is it?
Questions remain. What happened to the Vikings after Stamford Bridge? Where did they go? What did they do?
Well Legend of the Last Vikings is just one possibility..............
But why an Alternate Ending?
When I started researching the book, I was amazed to discover that the Silk Route was not just one route, but instead a whole network of routes reaching from Eastern Europe and criss-crossing Asia. As such I had to decide which of these routes my characters would travel along. Before I could make this decision I had to research the routes. In doing so I found so much fascinating information on each, trying to decide which route to "travel" was not easy. Even though I eventually settled upon a route, I did not want to waste potential stories so decided to write an alternate ending which in effect gives the reader a two-for-one.
Synopsis Chapters 1 - 33
I was going to give a summary of the chapters 1 to 33 but have decided that too much action, adventure, character building and meaning would be lost in doing so, so I have kept this to a minimum by providing the following synopsis.
On returning home to Norway after defeat at Stamford Bridge in 1066AD, our hero, Ulf Uspakson, herald to King Harald Hadraada, realises an era is over. Then he remembers the story of a Swedish Viking Adventurer, Yngvar Vittfarne (Yngvar the Far Travelled), who went missing on a journey to the East and in a last fling of youth decides to try and trace him - somewhere on the Silk Route. No easy task!
The alternate ending starts at Chapter 34 with the conclusion of the adventure in China's Taklamakan desert - or is it?
After leaving Shanguo and crossing the Tien Shan mountains, the crew, as I affectionately call this motley group, follow the course of the Jaxartes River (Syr Darya) to the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan. They then cross the Karakum and Barsuki deserts, they loop around the top of the Aral sea. Approaching Astrakhan from the North East, they are tired and weary after such an arduous journey. As always trouble awaits and the crew will have to summon physical and mental strength from reserves hidden deep within themselves.

In doing so I found so much fascinating information on each, trying to decide which route to "travel" was not easy. Even though I eventually settled upon a route, I did not want to waste potential stories so decided to write an alternate ending which in effect gives the reader a two-for-one.
Synopsis Chapters 1 - 33
I was going to give a summary of the chapters 1 to 33 but have decided that too much action, adventure, character building and meaning would be lost in doing so, so I have kept this to a minimum by providing the following synopsis.
On returning home to Norway after defeat at Stamford Bridge in 1066AD, our hero, Ulf Uspakson, herald to King Harald Hadraada, realises an era is over. Then he remembers the story of a Swedish Viking Adventurer, Yngvar Vittfarne (Yngvar the Far Travelled), who went missing on a journey to the East and in a last fling of youth decides to try and trace him - somewhere on the Silk Route. No easy task!
The alternate ending starts at Chapter 34 with the conclusion of the adventure in China's Taklamakan desert - or is it?
After leaving Shanguo and crossing the Tien Shan mountains, the crew, as I affectionately call this motley group, follow the course of the Jaxartes River (Syr Darya) to the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan. They then cross the Karakum and Barsuki deserts, they loop around the top of the Aral sea. Approaching Astrakhan from the North East, they are tired and weary after such an arduous journey. As always trouble awaits and the crew will have to summon physical and mental strength from reserves hidden deep within themselves.

Northanger Abbey (Wisehouse Classics Edition)
NORTHANGER ABBEY was the first of Jane Austen's novels to be completed for public?cation, though she had previously made a start on Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. According to Cassandra Austen's Memorandum, Susan (as it was first called) was written circa 1798-99.
Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland is one of ten children of a country clergyman. Although a tomboy in her childhood, by the age of 17 she is "in training for a heroine" and is excessively fond of reading Gothic novels, among which Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho is a favourite. Catherine is invited by the Allens, her wealthier neighbours in Fullerton, to accompany them to visit the town of Bath and partake in the winter season of balls, theatre and other social delights. Although initially the excitement of Bath is dampened by her lack of acquaintances, she is soon introduced to a clever young gentleman, Henry Tilney, with whom she dances and converses. Much to Catherine's disappointment, Henry does not reappear in the subsequent week and, not knowing whether or not he has left Bath for good, she wonders if she will ever see him again. Through Mrs. Allen's old school-friend Mrs. Thorpe, she meets her daughter Isabella, a vivacious and flirtatious young woman, and the two quickly become friends. Mrs. Thorpe's son John is also a friend of Catherine's older brother, James, at Oxford where they are both students. James and John arrive unexpectedly in Bath. While Isabella and James spend time together, Catherine becomes acquainted with John, a vain and crude young gentleman who incessantly tells fantastical stories about himself.

Waking Up Married in Vegas, What will Fiance Think? (Romantic Comedy)(Married Couple)(Humor)(Short Story)
Donna Colby wakes up with a hangover and finds a man in her bed who is NOT her fiance. She has no memory of how she got there. In a matter of moments, she finds that she is married. What will she tell her fiance of several years? Even worse, what will she tell her MOM?
More:
She got three steps outside the door and almost ran into HIM.
"Good morning, Honey." The man, her new husband said, "I didn't think you were coming out today."
He folded her in his arms and kissed her with unbridled passion. He caught her off guard and she was having trouble thinking how to react. In the instant before their lips met, she saw he was very cute. He was tall, having to lean down to kiss her. He was well built, and solid. She closed her eyes and felt herself melting. He was one heck of a kisser!
He was a better kisser than Albert was, she thought guiltily. He was even better than Freddie Nolan back in college who had been her gold standard for comparison. Until now.
The kiss continued and he pulled her tighter. It was very, very nice. A warmth was developing rapidly inside, spreading fast. She was becoming tingly and achy in all the right places.
She became aware of something happening between them. He was rising fast. Her eyes flew wide as realization of some very dangerous facts. He was naked against her. He was erect. He was HUGE!
"Back up, dude!" She warned, pushing him away. "And get some clothes on. You could knock a vase off waving yourself around like that!"
"Sure, honey." He said, smiling. "Do you think you should put something on too?"
"Oh, God!" She gasped, blushing from head to toe. She had forgotten her state of dress... er... undress. She covered her breasts with one arm and her bottom with her other hand. "Turn around! Don't look at me!"
"What's wrong, honey?" He asked concerned, reaching toward her. "You're acting very strange this morning! If I didn't know better, I'd swear you don't know me!"
"Don't touch me," Donna shouted. "I don't know you!"
"This isn't funny!" He said. "You know we've spent every waking moment together since we met."
"Well, As far as I'm concerned, we haven't met." Donna replied. "Could you please get some clothes on?"It was very distracting with him waving around like that.
"Sure, honey." He chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Donna demanded.
"You wouldn't let me put any cloths on for the past two days. You said you liked to look at me. And that it saved time when we made love." He said. "NOW you want me dressed,"
"Oh. My. Lord!" She ran back into the bathroom and slammed the door. She was hyperventilating again.
"I'm a slut!" She thought. "A TOTAL slut! Only a slut would keep a total stranger naked for ... TWO days!" They had been together for TWO days. She had kept him naked. To save time?
"Oh, my god!" She thought, "I must have had a psychotic break!"
Wait a minute. If they were married, did that still mean she was a slut? That made it ok to act slutty, right? She was still trying to wrap her mind around BEING MARRIED.

Perhaps that is due to the fact that, by choice, Sophia has always shunned society gatherings, or perhaps it is part of her nature. However Sophia will soon have to face the realities of the world that she lives in; that safety and security is not always guaranteed to a young woman.
How will Sophia proceed once she learns this lesson? Will she decide to conform to society and pursue a marriage for wealth and position? Or will she forge her own path ?

Lost Lore: A Fantasy Anthology
Kindle eBooks #1 Bestseller in three categories:
-Anthologies & Short Stories
-Mythology
-Fairy Tales
Forward by Mark Lawrence, bestselling author of Prince of Thorns and Red Sister.
Hidden pasts. Secrets untold. Legends half-remembered. Fifteen fantasy writers gather to bring fifteen tales to life, each one a unique glimpse into a wholly original world.
On the Emerald Road, a dead Sage triggers a brutal trial beneath the forest floor. There, a young man must fight--and kill--both friends and enemies to become the next wielder of the fabled Emerald Blade.
In Midgard, a priestess of humble birth forges a strange bond with an ancient being as she searches for justice in a land that often rewards cruelty, betrayal, and bloodshed.
And in the Yarnsworld, the Magpie King teaches two brothers a dangerous lesson about the power of stories. Sticks and stones may indeed break bones . . . but they cannot hurt the Bramble Man.
In worlds ravaged by flood, fire, and frost, mere mortals strive to make their own legends amidst demons and deities alike. And in lands racked with human strife--where evil endures and no one is ever safe--scarred heroes fight forces even darker than their own personal demons.
Why do they fight?
Some seek to better the world, or themselves. Others are out to right old wrongs. But whatever their goal - reward, redemption, or just respite - the truth will out eventually. For no story is ever truly lost so long as there exists one to tell it.

Playing The Billionaire: A Steamy Billionaire Alpha Romance (Lust Desire Secrets Obsession Book 1)
"Hi. I'm Alicia Mellor. I'm twenty-two, and I live in Sydney. This is my story of how I met a billionaire. It's not your usual rags-to-riches tale. For one, if you're expecting a wallflower, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. I'm a girl who's been around the block. I know what I like, and I don't take crap from anyone. Hawk Kinsey, eldest son of Australia's richest billionaire, might just be a typical alpha , but that's only if I can be sure who he really is. Join me won't you? I'm going to play this rich guy for all he's worth."
- - - - -
Meet Alicia, she's 22, sexy, sassy and she lives in Sydney, Australia.
She's also loaded.
At least, that's what she tells the rich boys she dates. But Alicia has a secret, one that she keeps all to herself; she's not really a millionaire with dead parents and money tied up in Swiss bank accounts. She's really a poor girl from the outer suburbs of Sydney, and she uses her con to bleed rich men of their money.
Everything is going well until Alicia gets an unexpected invite to the party of Hawk Kinsey, the newly-returned eldest son of Australia's wealthiest billionaire tycoon . If Alicia can land Hawk, she'll never have to pull another con again. Problem is, Hawk's identity is secret, and no one knows who he is, or what he looks like.
Can Alicia discover the secret Hawk, and seduce him, all in one night?
Set in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia, this novelette is the first part of a hot, new steamy romance series.
This book contains very, very steamy scenes, including m/f, m/f/f, f/f, voyeurism and public displays . It uses very strong language and imagery suitable for mature audiences.
If you're tired of wilting violets and first-timers who are putty in the billionaire's hands, you'll find this book a refreshing take, blending mystery and romance. Alicia is street-smart and knows what she likes; she's just the kind of girl who can stand up to an arrogant billionaire!
Excerpt:
'Let's have a drink.' He goes over to one of the cupboards and opens it, and there is a fully stocked bar. 'I'm having scotch. What would you like?'
'Vodka. And juice.' If I'm drinking, I might as well do it properly.
I hear the chink of ice, and the pour of the spirits. He comes over with the glasses and hands me mine. I take a sip. He's made it strong, but the ice takes away the sting.
Before I can lower my glass, he lunges, finding my chin with his hand, and pulling it up to his waiting mouth.
His kiss is soft and warm, and tastes of the scotch he has just consumed, making my lips tingle with warmth. Our mouths sink against one another as though they were made for each other. The kiss stretches on and on, neither of us wanting to end it. I open my mouth a little, and his tongue darts in, exploring.
He moves closer, until his chest presses against mine. I can feel the strength of his body beneath his suit. I run a hand up his front. His abs are like steel, and his chest is hard and defined.
His hands slide down my body too, cupping my ass in firm hands. He pulls back suddenly. 'I don't know your name.'
'Alicia,' I say.
'Alicia,' he whispers.
I am about to ask him his name when his mouth reclaims mine, and the kiss is so passionate it drives all rational thought from my head. The alcohol fills my being, making the world soft and fuzzy, letting me give in to the base need my body so desires. 'I want you,' I whisper. 'I want you now.'
'I want you too,' he replies. He smells like the sea. His mouth continues to explore mine, as he reaches down and begins to gather up the fabric of my dress, lifting it up and over my hips. He slides his hands along the insides of my thighs, touching the silky material of my panties with a light pressure.
His fingers brush my --- and I groan against his mouth.

Welcome Home: A Story of the Vietnam War
Jack Frost's father fought in WWII. His brother fought in Korea. So when Jack's own draft card arrives, there's no doubt in their minds that he'll do his duty, and fight in Vietnam. Jack loves his family, but he also knows that killing another human being is something he can never do.
Welcome Home is the short story of one man's struggle to maintain his innocence amid the brutality of the Vietnam War, torn between his family's expectations, his loyalty to his brothers-in-arms, and his own moral code.
Interview with the Author
Q - What makes Welcome Home special?
A - As a former Army officer and student of military history, I know that the guys who got drafted for Vietnam got a really raw deal. Aside from being sent to fight a war they didn't volunteer for, when they returned home, they were shunned by the American public. I wanted to write a short story set during the Vietnam War that asked: what if there was a soldier who felt obligated to serve his country, but felt he couldn't kill another human being? How would he deal with that personal conflict?
Q - Why should readers give this book a try?
A - It's a short, fast read, and will appeal to all fans of military fiction, historical fiction, and literary stories about army veterans and the challenging situations we can and do experience.
Q - Have you written other books?
A - Yup! If you're into stories about the military, you should definitely check out Combat and Other Shenanigans, the NY Times-bestselling memoir of my year in Iraq as a tank and scout platoon leader. You can get it for free by signing up on my website.
