<p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">The Helping Heart</span></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">Annie M. Ballard</span></strong></div></strong><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">(Sisters of Stella Mare, #4)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Publication date: March 15th 2024</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Women’s Fiction</span></div><p></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">Helen comes home and everything should be wonderful. Even if she’s returning due to a divorce. But there is more…</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Madison sisters, once close, are suddenly alienated as oldest Helen returns to Stella Mare. Her desire to help everyone includes keeping them at a distance, so her own secrets stay private. Her plan backfires, making her persona non grata and upsetting her father. To keep the peace with Dad, she suggests a group activity: the four sisters will hike the Fundy Footpath, an iconic and challenging backpacking trip along the Bay of Fundy. Why not? They’re young, they’re strong, and besides, they’re Madisons.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Despite each sister’s reservations, the desire to reconnect pulls them into this adventure. The hike is arduous and not for the faint of heart. Daunting cliffs, deep forests, rushing rivers and unpredictable tides accompany the gorgeous views, stunning sunrises, and the sheer power of nature. The challenges, though shared, fracture things further, and even Helen’s campfire confession doesn’t heal the breach. But when crisis happens, Helen is called to rise to the occasion and be the sister they need her to be.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">Returning to Stella Mare was hard. Regaining her place in the family was harder. Come home to Stella Mare with Helen, as she, Rett, Evie and Dorie learn once again how to be sisters.</span></strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">EXCERPT:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Time to burn some of those calories,” Helen called out. “Let’s get going.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Evie cast her a curious gaze. “Is there something we’re hurrying for? You should let us know, Helen.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">She narrowed her eyes. “We need to get going. We’re like sitting ducks here.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Rett laughed. “We’re nobody’s target. We started early, we already did the tidal crossings, so we are not worried about tides right now, and we have time to take a break if somebody is vomiting. Really.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Helen shook her head and walked away toward the tree line. Where was that wolf? And why couldn’t her sisters take direction?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Annoyed, she kept gazing into the woods, though she kept an ear tuned toward the conversations behind her. Soon enough, everybody got ready to go again, and Evie called to her. “We’re all set, Helen.” She huffed a little as she headed back, chin held high.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Evie started off beside Dorie, the two easily chatting. Rett waited for Helen. “Tone it down a bit,” she advised.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Are you bitching about me, too?” Helen snapped.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Like that,” Rett said noncommittally. “Take it down a notch.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You’re so helpful,” she sniped. “Like anybody even notices me.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Everybody notices you.” Rett’s tone was correcting. “Especially when you’re being a royal pain in the neck. Tone it down. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Helen, shocked, took the impact of those words on her chest. <em>Nobody’s here to make a fool of you.</em> She had nothing to say.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Rett nudged her with an elbow. “Come on. Let’s make it a good day for a hike.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">She nodded tightly and followed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Hiking made her brain run faster. Rett’s words rang in her memory. Nobody’s here to make a fool of you, Helen.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-family: arial;">I don’t need anyone to do that. I’ve done it myself, more than once. A lot more than once.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Despite her tired body, her mind was super-charged as thoughts, memories and feelings flooded her. She couldn’t outrace them, and even the challenging terrain didn’t distract her, though after a series of switchbacks, landing at the brook felt like an accomplishment. Or at least a break from her thoughts.</span></p>

Only, he has no idea who got him out. Or why. And then he comes face to face with the one man he hasn’t seen in years: Harland Carter—president of The Savage Bloods and Steven’s former best friend. Turns out, Harland needs Steven’s help, and it’s a matter of life or death.</div></span><p></p>

And if she can’t trust him, she’ll end up dead.</div></span><p></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">EXCERPT:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-family: arial;">Cassie…</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Leaning against the bar is a man. A very sexy, very muscular, very dangerous looking man. Dark, shoulder length hair. Icy blue eyes. Jeans with a bulging crotch. Black T-shirt that stretches deliciously across his shoulders and chest. My heart races at the sight of him, but more so because he’s staring right at me.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">But then I notice he’s also wearing a goddman kutte covered with the Savage Bloods insignia. Because of course he’s part of the club. A beer bottle is pinched between his fingers, and he’s standing there like he owns this place. Cocky arrogance radiates off him, and he clearly owns that. He’s 100 percent pure male. Pure trouble. And one million percent not my type of guy.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Yet, I can’t seem to stop staring at him. He’s everything Ryan isn’t, and that excites me in a way I don’t like. I don’t look away, and neither does he. There’s something familiar about him, though, and I narrow my eyes, studying him. Do I know him? That wouldn’t be so far-fetched considering I’ve met everyone in the Savage Bloods at least once before. Still, something nags at the back of my mind.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“He’s staring at you,” Becca shouts over the music, jerking me from my thoughts. “You should go talk to him.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“No.” I shake my head.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Turning away from his heated stare, I focus on dancing with Becca, but I can feel his gaze on me, feel the way he’s undressing me with his eyes, devouring me.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Maybe Becca’s right. Maybe I need to take the plunge and go talk to him. Doing so will certainly get my mind off Ryan. But damn… I’m not sure I can handle a guy like that. He’s so hard and rough and a tad scary. Not to mention, he’s part of the club, and I swore never to get involved with that life. Just because I’m nursing a broken heart doesn’t mean I need to go catch a raging case of the stupids.</span></p>
<p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">And that man could make any woman stupid.</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

<p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: arial;">Unleashed</strong></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ren Alexander</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">(Unraveled Renegade, #3)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Publication date: March 12th 2024</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance</div></span><p></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">Battered and bruised, Greg Rodwell struggles without his bride.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I married her as a favor. Then she dumped me out of spite.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">All her life, Simone’s control-freak father fed her money as long as she played by his rules, even forcing her to sign a contract and punishing her if she took her beloved stepfather’s last name. I devised a plan and offered her my own contract, marrying Simone so she could keep the money and dump her dad’s name. Although our relationship had been as frenemies, our marriage transformed into the real deal. I fell in love with being Simone’s devoted husband. And with her. I thought. Until that night, a colossal argument shattered us. Like a trashy country song, she bailed on me and our marriage in my pickup truck and skipped town. It hurt like hell, but I had to honor our vows and try to win her back.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Returning to Richmond, I watch Simone parading her loser dates as if it’s a sport. I start dating to help myself let go. But things hit a snag when Simone’s father shows up to stay with her for a week. She pleads with me to help her tell her father about our breakup instead of him discovering it and revoking her funds. At first, watching her squirm amuses me, but I’m not a total jackass. I’ll save her once more, but this time, I’m calling the shots, refusing to suffer through another painful breakup. Unfortunately, this infuriates Simone, but now she’s stuck with a husband for a week. Since I’m homeless, crashing with her works out. However, playing out our marriage in front of her father, stuff between Simone and me soon gets real. Way too real.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dating to avoid Simone only worsens things because of my intense attraction to her. She’s an addiction no rehab can fix. Yet, when she reciprocates the obsession, I freak out and push her too far all over again. But this time, the massive fallout changes us forever.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-family: arial;">You’ll achieve maximum shock and awe if the Wild Sparks Series and The Keys to Jericho are read before this series.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><strong>WARNING</strong>: Though Greg Rodwell is an office clown, his Unraveled Renegade series contains profuse graphic language, explicit sexual content, violence, and dark content not suitable for sensitive audiences. Reader discretion is highly advised.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">EXCERPT:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Again, I open the door without a preview. It’s not like I would turn away a serial killer or the Grim Reaper.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My eyes land on a throat. As they travel up, they glide over Greg Rodwell’s sexy face. I straighten with a gasp and blink away the surprise, hoping I’m not hallucinating. “What are you doing here?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">His gaze lands on my tits, and my hardening nipples beg for him to notice. I wish I regretted taking off my bra, but I don’t. Greg’s eyes meet mine, and instead of looking away, I hold them with mine. I’ve stared into his eyes while making love, but now they’re indifferent. His voice breaks my staring. “I forgot my key.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“For?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">As I grapple with not knowing what to do, Greg pushes past me into the entryway. From the living room, my father watches us. Greg waves and then faces me, mumbling, “Let’s get this shit done.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Through my teeth, I whisper, “But why? You said—”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">He slices his hand through the air, mumbling, “Five minutes is all you get.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I nod, stunned. Greg isn’t letting me do this alone. I could kiss him—but I won’t. “I’ll do the talking,” I mouth, and Greg shrugs. He follows me into the living room. Instead of sitting down with me on the couch, Greg offers my dad a handshake.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Going along with the last-minute plan, I say, “Dad, this is Greg. Greg, this is my dad, Marc Garrison.” Dad doesn’t stand up and hesitates before returning the handshake.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Garrison. Like South Park, huh? Where is Mr. Hand?” Greg snorts, and I cringe as my dad wrinkles his nose like he smells rotten cheese.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“It’s <em>Dr</em>. Garrison. I thought Simone told you I’m an orthodontist?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Greg releases Dad’s hand and steps back, slipping his hand into his dark hair, and it mesmerizes me. I hate that. “Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah. I fell on my head a lot as a kid.” <em>Jesus Christ, Greg.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I shoot Greg a look, but he sits on the couch without looking at me. And then I see he’s wearing his silver wedding ring. My heart stops. Dead. Out of order. Gone for good. I don’t know whether to be shocked or furious.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dad’s horror escalates. “I’d also like to say it’s nice to meet you, but we’ll see.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Greg mutters, “I get it. I’m not for everyone.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I sit beside Greg. His citrusy musk cologne makes my mouth water, and I lick my lips again, no doubt looking like a thirsty lizard in a desert. Narrowing his eyes at me, Dad sighs as if I failed out of school. “I was thinking you were a figment of my daughter’s imagination. Maybe even a scam.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Greg smirks and my heart flutters because I drank too much caffeine. “No figment. I’m as real as a heart attack.” Classy.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We sit in uncomfortable silence, with Dad studying Greg more than he’s ever cared to learn about me. “Simone tells me you work at a gas station.” No, no, no. Greg is so going to ruin this.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Tripping over confusion and his words, Greg laughs but then frowns. He starts, stops, and sighs several times before saying, “Uh, I sure do.” My heart surges, but his clenched fists on his knees tell me he’ll never help me again.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My dad throws his hand out and then touches his mustached lip before asking, “Where have you been, though? It’s evident you don’t live here.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Before Greg answers, I say, “Dad, please.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Greg sits back against the couch and rests his folded hands between his thighs. “I’ve been around. It’s like this…” He sighs, and it both scares and thrills me. “I’ve been staying with a friend. Simone and I had an argument.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My father chuckles like he heard a nonsensical knock-knock joke. “It’s obvious, but that shouldn’t explain why you don’t live with Simone as man and wife. Or are you hoping she’ll be the breadwinner? Since her father is wealthy, you may see pumping gas and cleaning the soda machine as a joy ride.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Surprised even he would slither that low, I gasp, “Dad, that’s not fair! Greg isn’t here for you to critique his life!”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Now, Simone, I will not tolerate a man you just met and married shirking his duties. As a wife, you should know this.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I shrink against the couch but keep my thigh against Greg’s. It comforts me a little. Greg clears his throat. “I’m sorry. My duties?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My father’s eyes narrow as he locks his gaze on my ex, his words dripping with annoyance. “I expect you to act like a husband.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Greg pushes up his jacket sleeves, and I bite my lip. Christ, it’s hot in here. Greg’s voice is a sharp razor blade slicing through the unbearable friction. “Oh, really?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I twitch my leg against him, bouncing his against mine. I mumble, “Greg…”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">He waves his hand to shut me up. “No way. Your dad needs to hear this. We shouldn’t be ashamed.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Huh?” I sit up and angle toward him.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“I’m trying to be a husband to Simone. We have a lot on our plates, but to be honest, I’ve been putting way more effort between the sheets—”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“What?” I shriek, forgetting my dad is watching. We’re taking on water and sinking fast. I didn’t even wear a cute bikini.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Greg sails on, leaving me to doggy paddle. “But I’m not a machine. It’d be nice to slow down and not perform on demand.” As I remain frozen in the water, watching the Titanic sink, Greg motions toward me with a laugh. “Come on. Your daughter isn’t ugly. But sometimes all I want to do is focus on our desire and not on making Greg Jr. It’s not that I can’t do it, but I’m worn out. You know?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The horror coursing through my body stabs me from every direction. I grab Greg’s arm, but he leans closer and mock whispers, “Shh, baby. Your dad needs to hear all this.” I fucking hate that I notice him calling me <em>baby</em> and miss it more than wearing pink.</span></p>
<p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I shove his arm to snap him out of the bullshit, but Greg grins at me. He knows I can’t refute our marriage status now…unless I dump him in front of my dad. And he’s beating me at my own game.</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

For
disgraced cable news producer Hannah Hawthorne, covering the shooting
of a pretty NYU sophomore is a chance for redemption. When the story
snowballs into a media circus, Hannah’s reporting fans the
sensationalistic flames and earns her acclaim. The tragic murder,
seemingly the result of random urban gun violence, prompts protests
and vigils that further magnify the story.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile,
Paulo, a reporter for a small online neighborhood newspaper, is
following the other murder in Washington Square Park that same night
– a Hispanic teen. He discovers an unexpected connection that is
political dynamite. When Hannah and Paulo team up, they uncover
disturbing facts, leading them to question everything they thought
they knew. Their reporting also leads them to the man who might be
the killer.<br />
When the story is ready to explode, the truth may be
hotter than anyone can handle. Breaking the next scoop could ruin
Paulo’s paper and wreck Hannah’s career – and it could get them
both killed.<br />
<br />
If you like David Baldacci's page-turners,
Michael Connelly’s cops, and Sara Paretsky’s quirky characters,
you will love The Other Murder. </span></span>

<p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: arial;">A Seduction of Dreams and Nightmares</strong></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A.J. Locke</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Publication date: March 26th 2024</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance</div></span><p></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">They say humans are dreams and Fiends are nightmares. For though Fiends have magic, beauty, and power, their immortal lives are restricted. Vampires must sate their blood lust. Wytches will crumble to dust when their magic runs out. Shapeshifting Haunts must keep their vicious beasts caged. Incubi and succubi cannot indulge in carnal pleasure without dire consequences.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Novari is a human who bartends for Luccero, an alluring incubus and the star of her fantasies. She can’t have Luc, but she does have Keo, who also wouldn’t mind Luc’s touch. Keo, who loathes being a vampire, is in pursuit of a fabled cure that will turn Fiends human. A cure highly in demand as many Fiends crave freedom from their burdened lives.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When an unexpected discovery about the cure’s location puts Novari and Keo in danger, they take refuge in Luccero’s sprawling manor. There, they contemplate how to stay safe … and succumb to each other’s seduction.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The pleasure she finds with Luc and Keo makes Novari want to hide away forever, but when the danger zeroes in, they’ll have to figure out how to overcome it before the dream they’ve found together becomes a nightmare.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/205585086-a-seduction-of-dreams-and-nightmares" target="_blank">Goodreads</a> / <a href="https://amzn.to/3IrQ4uQ" target="_blank">Amazon</a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">EXCERPT:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Cursed,” came Luc’s soft voice. “As Fiends we consider ourselves cursed, nightmares. Humans, fragile and finite as they may be, are the dreams. They are born, they grow, they change, they have choices we will never have about who they want to be and what feeds their appetites. But we, everlasting and unchanging until the moment of our demise, have little choice. I can never travel far by myself lest I have no means to sate my Lust. I came into existence as an incubus with a specific way I must live, and that is all I can ever be.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">His words reminded me of the conversation with Keo last night and the way he’d questioned his urges because he couldn’t stop wondering if everything about him was decided before he even existed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“I don’t think I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about things from your perspective. I feel bad about that.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Luc chuckled. “Humans are selfish beings; I do not fault you for it.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“I’m not—”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“I meant it not as an insult,” he cut in, “you are selfish because you know your time is limited. That there is an inevitable end you cannot avoid, and though you wish for the years to take you into old age, you live with no idea if your next day will be your last. Thus, you focus on yourselves, your pursuits, your pleasures. You can pick up jobs, hobbies, lovers, and discard them as your mood fits because ‘life is short,’ no?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You try to pull as much life from the world as you can because when you die, there is no coming back. Fiends can walk through centuries; we do not think of time the same way. Were two hundred of your friends to ask you to keep something of theirs in your care for the rest of your life you would say there was no way you could dedicate your life to taking care of things that do not belong to you. Things that would impede your ability to live your life on your terms.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">He raised his hand to indicate the greenhouse. “But for me? I said yes every single time a Fleurisse came to me. Because it was of no consequence to hold on to things that would remain as long as I. All I have is time, and thus, we endure the long years together.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Luccero was far more perceptive and empathetic than I would have ever thought he was. In a few short hours I’d learned more about him than I’d ever known. Because all I’d seen when I looked at him was his beauty, all I’d felt was his charm and his lusty aura. But he was so much more than a creature of seduction. I was sure his long life was full of amazing stories. He could tell me something about every Fleurisse here, was probably knowledgeable about things I wouldn’t know the first thing about.</span></p>
<p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I badly wanted to know this side of him more.</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">But our marriage of convenience is the perfect revenge…</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I find Darren Walker drowning himself in expensive whiskey. Young, handsome, and educated, he’s the playboy son of a U.S. Senator, and his father’s sudden death has hit him harder than expected.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When he offers me millions of dollars to marry him, I want to tell him that I can’t be bought.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">But of course, that’s not true, and Darren is prepared to play dirty.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">He’s made it his life’s mission to squander his potential in order to avoid living in his father’s shadow. But if he wants to see even one cent of his trust fund, he needs a wife. And not just any wife will do.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Ours will purely be a marriage of convenience, and I’m going to be his final, perfect revenge.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My name is Evangeline Bowen, and I’m an escort to the rich and powerful. But soon I’ll be the wife of a Senator’s son, who thinks he knows all my dark secrets.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">All of them, except for one…</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">King of Nothing is the first book in The Kingmaker trilogy, a steamy marriage of convenience romance full of political scandal. The books must be read in order for the best reader experience.</span></strong></em></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">EXCERPT:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Your parents are dead, and you trash a hotel room.” His blue eyes look past me as he adds on, “And apparently fuck hookers.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I follow his gaze to see Evangeline coming from the bedroom, her hair still wet and dripping onto her shoulders while she holds her shoes.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“What makes you think I’m a hooker?” she asks as she slips on her heels.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Rausch assesses her carefully, his mouth pressed firmly in a tight line. “An educated guess.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Jesus Christ, Darren. Do you know how much this will cost to fix?” Rausch gestures dramatically to the trashed room. I notice the TV mounted on the wall is cracked, and I just now remember that I hit it on my way out of the room last night, looking down at my knuckles to notice the bruises only just now.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Just have the hotel send me the bill.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Money is not going to fix this,” Rausch yells, “especially when you don’t have any.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You’re not making any sense.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Alistair straightens. “Can we just calm down?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“I don’t think either of you fuckups really understand the gravity of the situation,” Rausch spits, pinching his eyebrows as if he’s talking to two disorderly students instead of two grown men. “Your parents are dead, and not only is that a difficult situation for Congress, but it also means your money – your <em>parent’s</em> money,” he makes a point to say, “is tied up in probate.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Can you – just stop saying that?” I throw my hands up.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“That your parents are dead? No, because the sooner you wake up and join reality, the better.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“What do you mean, there’s no money?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“The money is locked up in probate.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“What the fuck do you mean, probate?” I question, staring at Rausch with my chest heaving.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You went to law school; did they not teach you about probate law?” Rausch doesn’t rattle easily, that’s why he got the reputation he has. Unbreakable, formidable, and effective – <em>The Kingmaker</em>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Of course I know about probate law, and that means my parents money could be frozen anywhere from six months to two years.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I’m mad at Rausch for being the only one I have right now. I’m mad at myself for being such a fuckup. I’m mad at the pilot for crashing the helicopter. I’m mad that I feel <em>anything</em>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Is that what you think I’m worried about?” I ask him.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You have worried about no one else but yourself, <em>Darren</em>, your whole life,” Rausch lectures. “What do you think your mother would say if she saw you right now?” His eyes travel south, and then over to Evangeline, who is still standing next to me, eyeing the exit that is still blocked by the security guard.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“This is what I’m talking about.” Rausch points to the overturned table. “It’s exactly why your parents put stipulations in their wills.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I pull on the shorts and toss my hair out of my eyes. “Stipulations?” I ask, cautiously.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Yes, Darren. If you weren’t being such a fucking child, you would listen to me,” Rausch continues, and he’s right. I don’t want to listen to him, but he has me in a stranglehold right now, like a boa constrictor around my neck. Worse yet, he knows it.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My father rarely discussed business with me, and he certainly didn’t make me privy to his will or his wishes, should something happen to him. He certainly wasn’t anticipating dying in a helicopter crash with my mom and leaving me alone to figure things out.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When I look at Rausch I take that back, because my father did anticipate such things, he just put Rausch in charge—not me. He never would have trusted me to handle his estate. Right now, I’m at Rausch’s mercy, so I keep my mouth shut while the anger burns through me.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You don’t get any money until you’re thirty years old,” Rausch says, and then after a dramatic pause, adds, “or married.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-family: arial;">Jesus fuck!</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">He’ll make me beg, give me condescending lectures, and torture me for the next three fucking years. My heart sinks into my stomach, and Rausch can see it all on my face – the realization that he owns me. A satisfied smirk appears on his mouth.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Perhaps if I had been the good son, stayed out of trouble, listened to him more, prayed at the altar of Emerson, who he loved so fucking much, maybe then he wouldn’t have put Rausch in charge of his affairs.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I narrow my eyes at Rausch because I’ve never been known to back down from a fight, and I still have skin in this game. It’s an impulsive move, but dire situations require dire action. I grab Evangeline, pulling her to my side. “Well, isn’t it convenient that my fiancée is right here?”</span></p>

<p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: arial;">Handsome Devil</strong></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Delaney Diamond</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">(Quicksand, #7)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Publication date: February 29th 2024</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance</div></span><p></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-family: arial;">They might both get what they want in this marriage of convenience—if they don’t kill each other first.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Annabelle Buchanan waltzes into Dante Escarra’s office with a singular goal—to persuade him to accept her audacious one-year marriage proposal. Her objective? Taking control of her father’s real estate empire. But Dante is her ex-husband, and their past is littered with hurt and anger.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dante never once contemplated reuniting with Annabelle, because she broke his heart and left him devastated years ago. But her offer is a tantalizing chance to add an iconic Houston building to his real estate portfolio—a prize he covets more than he’s willing to admit.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">As they pursue their respective goals, the lines between business and heart blur. Can they make their marriage work the second time around, or will they both end up with broken hearts—again?</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">EXCERPT:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You came here for a reason. What do you want?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You should take a seat for this,” Annabelle said, waving toward his leather chair. She spoke in a lowered voice. Her seduction voice—low and throaty and bringing back memories that lashed his skin with heat.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">His eyes narrowed in distrust. “Why do I need to sit down?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“I’m not sure you’ll like what I’m about to say.” She gave a careless, one-shoulder shrug.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Tell me so we can get this meeting over with, and I can go back to more important tasks, like practicing my golf swing.” He glanced at the Patel Philippe watch on his wrist. “You have sixty seconds to explain why you’re here, and then I’m calling security to escort you out.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">She let out an exaggerated sigh. “Fine. I have a proposition for you.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“I cannot wait to hear it,” Dante said in a dry voice.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Another fake smile. “My father plans to step down as the CEO of Buchanan & Buchanan within the next few months.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Time is ticking. You have twenty-seven seconds.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Be patient, darling. I promise you’ll want to hear this,” she said, strolling over to the bar where he kept beverages for guests. She poured herself a glass of water and took a sip before turning to face him.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Seventeen seconds.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Annabelle arched an eyebrow. “When he steps down, he plans to recommend a merger to the board—a merger with his friend’s company, Strong Technology, Inc. They’re a privately owned firm specializing in smart home technology to modernize residential properties and make them more efficient. Daddy has threatened to go through with this merger for years.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“What does that have to do with me?” Dante tapped his watch as a reminder.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Nothing, directly.” Annabelle finished the water and carefully placed the glass on a silver tray atop the bar. “Except for the proposition I mentioned. Instead of merging the companies and having Albert Strong take over as CEO, I want Daddy to recommend <em>me</em> as CEO to the board, but unfortunately, he won’t because of his traditional values.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A brief flash of pain zipped across her eyes, so fast he almost missed the emotion.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“That’s your problem. Again, what does your father’s decision have to do with me?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">She looked him squarely in the eyes. The haughty indifference disappeared, and a tough negotiator took its place. “My father admires and respects you. He thinks you’re a great businessman because of all you’ve accomplished in the ten years since our divorce. You’ve made quite a splash in the commercial real estate market. Therefore, my proposition is simple. I want to take over my father’s company, and I need you to help me make that happen. I’m proposing that you and I remarry.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dante cocked his head toward her in disbelief. “Excuse me, I misunderstood what you said. My English is not so good.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Your English is excellent. Probably better than mine at this point, so I know you understood perfectly what I said. I’m suggesting we get married again—a marriage of convenience, if you will. A mutually beneficial arrangement for both parties, you and me. My father will be happy to have you back in the family because he did like you, and now he has newfound respect for you thanks to all your accomplishments. Based on a conversation we had, I’m convinced he would recommend me for the CEO position <em>if</em> he thought you’d be involved in helping me with B&B, as needed. Our marriage would be temporary. Sometime after I take the reins of the company, you and I will have an amicable divorce. Not right away, of course. We want our reunion to be believable, but we simply split because we couldn’t make our marriage work for a second time.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dante folded his arms over his chest. Unbelievable.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Your plan is to remarry and trick your father into believing you and I are happily married, so he will hand over the company to you when he steps down? That’s your plan?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">She smiled brilliantly. “Yes.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Ah <em>querida, t’eres loca</em>,” Dante said.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Then he burst out laughing.</span></p>

<span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;">Undertaker
brothers fight the monsters who killed their family and uncover a
dark secret that could destroy a kingdom.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When Corran, Rigan, and their
friends became outlaw monster hunters and fled beyond the walls of
Ravenwood City, they thought they had defeated the source of the
abominations that killed so many of their friends and loved ones. But
the more successful they become at destroying the creatures, the more
they realize that greater evil is at work—larger and more
terrifying than they ever imagined.</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The city state of Ravenwood is
wealthy, powerful, and corrupt. Ambitious and ruthless leaders use
betrayal and assassination to gain their ends. Blood magic conjures
monsters to further the goals of the ruling class, and stolen power
is paid for by the deaths of commoners. But now the magic extracts
too high a toll, merchant princes scheme against each other,
smugglers and pirates threaten the trade that holds the kingdom
together, and old alliances shatter. Darkhurst’s wastrel king seems
ill-suited to stop the collapse of the merchant league and the
kingdom itself.</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When fanatic priests begin a
reign of terror to summon ravenous beings and cause the unmaking of
the world, Corran, Rigan, and their friends face an impossible task.
They must bind the monstrous First Being, stop the priests from
bringing about their blood-soaked reckoning, and put a king on the
throne that will end the cull forever. The price of failure is the
destruction of Darkhurst and the world itself.</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Reckoning is the fast-paced,
action-packed conclusion to a monster-filled fantasy adventure with
non-stop twists and turns, loyal brothers, found family, forbidden
magic, vengeful ghosts, high-stakes intrigue, and dangerous secrets
set in a vibrantly visualized world.</span></p>

the monsters that killed their family and friends cost undertaker
brothers Corran and Rigan Valmonde their home and livelihood and made
them wanted men—but the worst is yet to come.<br />
<br />
The
city-state of Ravenwood is wealthy, powerful, and corrupt. Merchant
Princes and Guild Masters wager fortunes to outmaneuver League rivals
for the king’s favor and the best trading terms. Ambitious and
ruthless leaders use betrayal and assassination to gain their ends.
Blood magic conjures monsters to further the goals of the ruling
class, and the price of stolen power is paid for by the deaths of
commoners. Now, the fate of Ravenwood hangs in the balance as rival
city-states maneuver to gain advantage.<br />
<br />
When Corran and
Rigan and their friends became outlaw monster hunters and fled beyond
the walls of Ravenwood City, they thought they had defeated the
source of the abominations that killed so many of their friends and
loved ones. But the more successful they become at destroying the
creatures, the more they realize a greater evil is at work – larger
and more monstrous than they ever could imagine… </span></span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Brigitte, "Gitte," Tamar was born in a small rural Oregon town.
Growing up, she was enthralled by scary tales featuring poetic tones and
consistently gravitated towards writing darkened narratives. In the
different storylines, Brigitte explores the harsh realities of social issues
faced by today's generations. This includes the dark outcomes brought on by
peer pressure, addiction, homelessness, mental illness, childhood trauma,
and abuse. She feels it is essential to share narratives that refrain from
sugarcoating the topics society tends to shy away from.</span></p>

<span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;">Every
year, Charlotte faithfully performs her Samhain ritual, anxiously
awaiting her visit with Jessica. But Jessica has not appeared for the
past eight years. What could possibly have happened to prevent her
from being there?<br />
<br />
As a stormy night sets in,
Charlotte’s friends arrive entangled in a web of theft and murder.
When an old adversary resurfaces with plans of their own, the
situation becomes more complicated, and secrets begin to
unravel.<br />
<br />
In the aftermath, Charlotte and Ben
establish the “Doctor’s House”, offering comfort to the ailing.
An obscure summons leads them to a stranger being held in the
gaol—his presence in the schoolhouse a mystery, the turpentine and
striker in his possession leading to more questions. Who is this man?
What secrets does he hold? And what does he seek from Charlotte? </span></span>

didn’t see this coming . . .<br />
<br />
After glimpsing Jessica’s
grief-stricken face reflected in the window, Charlotte Williams—along
with her husband, Ben—is pulled back to the future she left behind
to help her friend. What Charlotte and Jessica share connects them
irreversibly, their lives now intertwined forever. Confident their
bond can transcend time, Charlotte returns “home” to her life in
the past.<br />
<br />
Following a risky time jump, Charlotte and Ben
are reunited with their friends and family in 1819 and she resumes
her mission to pass on a dear departed friend’s heirloom ring. As
they begin to grow their own family, they face a series of
challenges, including a surprising opportunity for Ben. The ensuing
adventure leads to an inevitable encounter that tests their marriage
absolutely.<br />
<br />
The love between Charlotte and her friends
spans time and space, helping her to define family and what home is.
And yet, illusion and betrayal threaten to obscure her reality. Will
she come through this with her family intact? How will Charlotte move
forward? </span></span>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span>Charlotte
Harper’s best friend Jessica is shocked to receive a letter
detailing Charlotte’s journey back in time to save her possible
ancestor Elizabeth. The letter, written in 1819, speaks of the
consequences of Charlotte’s actions and asks for Jessica’s
help.<br />
<br />
Charlotte’s adventure begins with a Wiccan ritual
and spell that takes her back to 1818. After arriving at a small town
on the shore of Owasco Lake, New York, she settles in, finding work
at the general store to earn her keep. While awaiting Elizabeth’s
arrival, she forms strong bonds with those around her, finding
herself part of a tight-knit circle of friends and deeply in
love.<br />
<br />
Charlotte knows that walking through one door often
closes many others, so when she dreams of warnings from the future
she left behind, she wants to understand. Is Jessica reaching out to
her? What is she trying to tell her? Knowing that one single choice
can change who is your friend, your lover, who lives and who dies,
Charlotte must choose her path wisely so as not to make the same
mistakes. </span></span>

<span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;">Charlotte
Harper’s life isn’t going as she expected. She had to change her
course of studies, her ex-boyfriend has hooked up with her best
friend, and she misses her mother desperately since her passing.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<p><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
Searching
for meaning and direction, she pours herself into her family history,
researching her roots. When she learns of a possible ancestor named
Elizabeth from the early nineteenth century, who was hung for the
crime of witchcraft, she is determined to try to save her fate.
Charlotte explores the strength of her Wiccan beliefs and the powers
within her stones, preparing a spell to transport herself back in
time nearly two centuries.</span></span></p>
<p><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
She
arrives at a small, sleepy town on the shore of Owasco Lake, New
York. Intending to stay just long enough to save her ancestor, she
creates a cover story and attempts to fit in, but after waiting for
weeks with no word of Elizabeth, she immerses herself in the
community. She works in the General Store to earn her keep and uses
her knowledge of herbs and medicine to help those in need. She soon
forms strong bonds with those around her, finding herself drawn into
the simple and fulfilling life of a bygone era, and even falls in
love—more deeply than she ever thought possible.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span><br />
As
the deadline of the execution nears, visions of the future begin to
plague her and those around her. Can she truly save Elizabeth and
undo what happened almost two centuries ago? With two lives on the
line, she knows she must face the consequences of meddling with time,
even if it costs her everything. </span></span>

Wyatt Glasson’s talent is speculomancy—an uncommon type of magic that grants him the ability to see any reflected image. Modern civilization and its reflective surfaces mean people are always in view of Wyatt’s magic. And he’s used that advantage to create a wealthy, insulated existence for himself, tucked safely away from magical society. After all, being powerful offers little protection when you’re part of a tiny minority who would rather cut your throat to protect themselves than back you up and risk their safety. But Wyatt’s comfortable life is about to be turned upside down.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When the Arcane building is attacked by a team of rogue mystos, Wyatt is forced to choose between maintaining his anonymity or displaying his unique and powerful ability. Unfortunately for Wyatt, both choices come with grave consequences.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial;">EXCERPT:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The sun shone like a beacon in the brilliant blue sky, casting shimmering rays of light that made everything on the café patio appear vibrant. Mulched areas around the patio boasted pockets of colorful flowers. Carefully placed trees lent their shade to tables on the outskirts of the dining area. The setting was picture-perfect, as if it had captured life in full bloom.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A dark-featured, handsome man in a sleek business suit smiled wolfishly. He stood up from his seat at the outdoor café table and shook hands with the short, overweight, balding man standing across from him. The handsome man’s smile faltered and his features fell slack as a bullet ripped out of his forehead and sprayed blood all over his lunch companion’s face.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The short man sputtered, backing away from the scene. He stumbled into a nearby table, knocking over drinks as he tried to regain his balance. Diners around him stopped talking to gawk, while others looked in shock at the spilled spaghetti dinner that was the other man’s forehead. The balding man’s ruddy face went pale, and tiny droplets of cold sweat coated his face as comprehension clicked. Baldy stood frozen for a few precious seconds. Maybe baldy thought the hit was complete. Maybe terror was replaced by hope. Maybe he thought he could outrun the next bullet. Whatever the fleeting thought was, baldy snapped out of his stillness, turned, and ran.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">His movements were jerky and uncoordinated. It looked like he was trying to rev his out-of-shape body from zero to sixty miles per hour, and his current configuration wouldn’t allow it. He made it exactly four steps before a bullet pierced the back of his skull, adding to his forward momentum and throwing him to the ground like a limp, overstuffed doll. The diners, who hadn’t screamed at the initial hit, finally seemed to realize what was happening. They howled and ran for their lives almost in unison.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Wow. Whoever the operator was on this job was a special kind of sick bastard. Instead of putting a bullet in the first target and immediately moving to the second, he (or she, because girls can be messed up too) waited a couple of seconds. It’s like the sniper wanted to give baldy time for the dark realization to dawn that he was going to die. Someone definitely missed out on a few hugs as a child.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">With sick fascination, I changed the scene I was viewing on Horus. I captured the reflection of a single, squinting, green eye looking into a high-powered rifle scope. As if the eye saw me back, it jerked away and its owner snapped the scope cover shut. This eye was new. I’d have to keep an “eye” on it in the future. I chuckled at my pun, then sighed. I needed to get out more.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I often watched the assassinations on a wall-sized plate of tinted glass I’d nick-named “Horus.” The name had Egyptian roots. It referred to what people now knew as the All-Seeing Eye. The nickname kept me from accidentally giving away my little secret. They said clothes made the man, but it had been my experience that careful habits made the man. Horus was my “source,” and I was an information broker, of sorts. It rolled off the tongue to say I needed to check with “Horus.” And people assumed Horus was the name of my contact or a cover name for my network of contacts. Honestly, that wasn’t too far from the truth.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I switched the view back to the outdoor patio scene and watched the remaining diners scatter like gazelles. I had no qualms about enabling the deaths of those men. They’d sown enough evil to earn their bloody ending several times over.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A moral compass was important when wielding the type of power I had, or at least that’s what I told myself. I refused to deliberately use my gift against people unless they had proven their guilt. Work of this nature usually waded in the waters of moral ambiguity and often swam out to the depths of moral depravity. I’d learned that lesson the hard way, so I was unbending when it came to rules. I did have a half-depleted case of scotch in the pantry, just in case the lines became “grayer” than usual while I was working a job. But my regular clients usually toed the line, or at least lied convincingly.</span></p>

your heart.</b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a name="_GoBack"></a>
<span face="Calibri, sans-serif">All I want is a quiet drink. Guess
it is too much to ask. Especially for my ex who will not take a hint
when I tell him the seat beside me is taken—by my purse. My gaze
snags on the super-hot guy in the reflection behind the bar, the one
whose knowing wink should put me off. But my attention keeps straying
to him. When football standout Wyatt “Bax” Baxter makes his move,
steals the barstool from my purse, and sends my ex on his way, I
can’t decide if I’m irritated or intrigued. After I caught my ex
cheating, I know better than to trust a man with my heart. Yet when
one thing leads to another, Bax becomes the only thing on my mind.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"><b>It
was supposed to stop at a one-night stand.</b></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Bax
is unexpected. I don’t usually date football players. The fact that
he listens when I talk is as big a turn-on as his broad shoulders
stretching his T-shirt. When we hook up, he rocks my world. But my
terrible history with men stops me from giving him my number. One and
done, moving on is my motto these days. Though Bax lets me walk away,
he refuses to let me go. He finds a way to live rent-free in my head,
and to my everlasting shock, I keep seeking him out. Our backgrounds
are wildly different. We make no sense together, but I can’t stay
away.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Piper
Maxwell is the whole sexy package—smart, independent, and the best
time I ever had. When I wow the crowd with a pick-six during a big
rivalry game, I know exactly where to point the ball—at a
purple-haired hottie cheering in the student section. She insists on
keeping it casual, but she is too special to let get away. I’m
known for my tenacity on the field, something Piper is about to find
out extends off the field too.</span></p>

DeRudder Jackson is the author of the paranormal romance Talisman
Series and the contemporary romance Balefire Series. Her favorite
“room” in her house is her patio where she dreams up stories of
romance and risk. When she’s not writing her latest paranormal or
contemporary romance, you can find her driving around in her
convertible or carving turns on the slopes of the local ski hill. The
mom of two grown sons, Tam likes to travel, attend rock concerts,
watch football and soccer, and visit old car shows with her husband.
She lives in the mountains of northwest Wyoming where she spends most
of her free time trying to read all the books. Her TBR piles are
threatening to take over her office, and she’s fine with that.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

new monster tales from the greats: Jonathan Maberry, Joe R. Lansdale,
Gabino Iglesias, Gemma Files, Gaby Triana, Ramsey Campbell, Jeffrey
Thomas, Gwendolyn Kiste, and Lucy A. Snyder, plus thirteen stories
from new names (see below) destined to become some of your favorite
authors.</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"><br />
These
monsters are never-before-seen. These monsters bite, and don’t let
go. These monsters aren’t your grandparents’ boogeymen, but they
are not tame, and they want to climb right down into your nightmares
and make you their own.</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"><br />
Welcome
to the new anthology series The Midnight Zone.</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"><br />
Ken
MacGregor, editor of the Shirley-Jackson-Award-nominated
anthology Stitched Lips and the uproarious Burnt Fur,
teamed up with Bram-Stoker-Award-nominated short story author Douglas
Gwilym, editor of Appetites and Harmony &
Dissonance, to take you to strange and dark new places. They’ll ask
you to go deeper and weirder than The Twilight Zone, to a place (like
the real-world midnight zone, a mile beneath the ocean’s surface)
where no sunlight penetrates. Join us as we explore the inhospitable,
surprising, uncomfortable, bizarre, and otherworldly.</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"><br />
Go
on. Dive in. Lose yourself to The Midnight Zone.</span></p>

Bone</b></i></span><span> - A giant, living skeleton

up from below the earth and violently destroy any machine that
creates pollutants, and whomever happens to be using them at the
time.</span></span></p>

War</b></i></span><span> - Translucent giant lizards
swarming across the alien landscape. The “astronauts” are all
women, and the main character, Eliza, who was the cook before
everything changed but is now in charge, loses her lover Joan in a
climactic scene. She floats out into space, “her blood hanging in
drops around her like falling rose petals, her hair fanned out like a
peacock’s tail….”</span></span></p>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Things are going well for Cressida. Egged on by Marjorie, the spirit who
has taken shelter in her mind, Jacob proposes marriage as they flee the moon
and its goblin king. However bigger things are at stake, and their mission
to save all of humanity is jeopardized by mistrust and magical chicanery.
Sexual energy flares as the danger to the empire overflows in an orgy of
lust and violence. Can Jacob and Cressida’s love survive?</span>

</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;"><i>December 1865 -- Earthbound</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Making love in the absence of gravity is a pleasure experienced by few. In
this regard my beloved fiancé Jacob and I, and of course Marjorie,
made full use of the three-day journey from the moon. Whenever the mood to
clicket like a pair of foxes took us -- as it often did -- we’d strap
ourselves into our cocoon -- the Lunarians’ term for the soft woollen
bag designed to keep slumbering space travellers from drifting about -- and
had at it with unbridled enthusiasm.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">We were not the only ones. The dozen or so “marionettes” -- as
Jacob termed the human bodies possessed by the spirits of goblins -- also
took every opportunity to experience the joy of sex. In their natural form,
the small leathery-winged creatures, which resembled the ugly statues of
gargoyles, were denied by their nervous systems the ability to derive
pleasure from copulation. For them, the act of coitus was simply a
procreational chore, and so the ecstasy of sexual intercourse that the human
body provided was to them as addictive as laudanum is to opium eaters.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Thus, the mid-section of the ship presented a scene straight from a
nightmare. Cocoons bolted to the metal wall jostled their neighbours as they
twisted and bucked like angry caterpillars. The contortions were accompanied
by a discordant symphony of grunts, groans, and ultimate cries of climactic
release.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I blush to recall that Jacob and I were no different. I was in seventh
heaven with his cock relentlessly sliding, piston-like, in and out of my
accommodating quim, causing my heart to gallop and my breathing to quicken
into ragged gasps. I wasn’t alone, of course. Marjorie was enjoying it
as well, albeit deep inside my head.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;"><i>Oh, his cock is so very hard, </i>she bellowed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She didn’t have to tell me that. I could feel every inch of his rigid
shaft stretch my tight fleshly sheath. Having a ghost possess me had added a
new dimension to the constant monologue people conduct with themselves in
their heads. Marjorie knew my thoughts before I could even express them to
myself, and she had access to all my memories as well. The most amazing fact
of her residency in my mind was that she could “feel” everything
I did, from stubbing my toe to the ecstasy of sexual climax, and everything
in-between.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Marjorie could also massage my body from the inside, as it were,
stimulating my nipples and nub, and creating the sensations that Jacob would
make with lips, tongue, fingers, and cock. She was thoroughly enjoying her
demise, making liberal use of this ability, and wasn’t a passive
member of our unconventional ménage which united the living and the
dead.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;"><i>I’m not dead</i>, she would protest.<i> Just misplaced, and very grateful I
found you.</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Murdered while she was a virgin, Marjorie’s spirit had, for some
unknown reason, been irresistibly drawn to me, and had possessed my body to
alert Jacob and I that her corpse had been stolen from her grave.
Marjorie’s body was now possessed by a goblin who named herself
Esther. One of our goals once on Earth was to return Marjorie to her
rightful home. We were confident that I could perform the swap, as I had
successfully done the same for Jacob in the chamber of the dead on the
moon.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">That Esther was writhing in ecstasy in the cocoon next to us, being
ploughed enthusiastically by her so-called husband Warrick, both angered and
intrigued her. He’s fucking her now, she said bitterly. I wonder what
his cock feels like.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Ugh!” I groaned, as much in disgust on her behalf as from the
jolt of Jacob’s thrust. A half dozen followed, and my rising
excitement was reflected in the increasing cadence of my whimpers and
moans.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Jacob paused, his body tensed, but not from imminent climax.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“What is it?” I asked.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Something’s changed. I’ll have a look.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Now that we were not wholly engaged in pleasure, I noticed that the
previously muffled grunts and groans were no longer stifled, but clear as a
bell. I lifted Jacob’s arm so I could see out of our woollen shell.
The agitated caterpillars, not content to remain in their cocoons, had
erupted like butterflies from their chrysalides. With no gravity to keep
them to the floor they twisted and tumbled through the air until the space
became a mass of undulating human flesh. Jacob and I remained inside our
woollen bag. The thought of intimacy with stolen bodies repelled us.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I shuddered at the memory of fucking the king of the Lunarians, Mon Ilson,
and his concubine Gloria, but that had been in the cause of buying time and
favour till our escape. I had only suffered the act by imagining I was
making love to Jacob and Marjorie.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">My memory of that awkward situation was suddenly interrupted by our cocoon
being ripped open, and before I could react, Jacob and I were separated by
gentle but insistent hands. In an instant Esther was kissing Jacob full on
the mouth.</span>

loved hard, and needed a hero. Then one great day she came across a
book and discovered the world of m/m writing, encountered others who
shared her obsession as much as she did, and found a world where she
could not only be accepted for the lives and loves she envisioned,
but she could create them too. So why not? Why not take the stories
she would write and throw away as a teenager, grow them, dream them,
and make them a reality where she could know her own characters, let
them live their story, and make them real for someone else? And she
did. Now, with the support of her hubby and some intense time
management, she is learning to balance her family of two children at
home and the many others she teaches each and every day with her
passion of writing what she loves to read.

<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Cleo -- My family put me through hell, and I escaped the only way
possible… by marrying a biker locked up in prison. Joker gave me his
name and a way to hide from my family. Until the day they find me…
Now it’s time I return to the husband who doesn’t want me and
hope he doesn’t find out all my secrets -- because if he does, I have
a feeling he’s going to make me leave.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Joker -- She seemed sweet and innocent. Marrying her wasn’t a big
deal. Then I managed to obtain my freedom, and with it, I decided to set her
free as well. Only one problem. She doesn’t want a divorce. Now Cleo
is living with me, and my club has accepted her as part of our family. None
of us realized she was hiding something that could destroy us, but at the
end of the day, she’s mine and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep
her safe.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">The clanging of metal bars and shouting inmates jolted me awake. Another
day in this hellhole. I blinked against the harsh fluorescent lights as the
guard banged his baton against my cell, barking at me to get up. My joints
creaked in protest as I slid off the thin mattress onto the cold concrete
floor. I’d wasted away in this cage for over a decade, my youth fading
with each endless day.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Mail,” the guard said, thrusting a letter into my cell.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Only one person wrote to me. Someone I’d never met in person, though
she’d sent me a picture one time. Out of boredom, I’d signed up
for a pen pal program, not expecting much. To my surprise, I’d
received dozens of letters -- all from women. One had stood out. A teen girl
named Cleo.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I’d been hesitant to respond. At forty-eight, I’d felt like it
was wrong to reply to her. My morals might be questionable, but I still had
a line I wouldn’t cross. In the end, I’d answered her, and
we’d been writing to each other ever since. She’d needed a
sympathetic ear, and I’d needed a distraction.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I opened Cleo’s latest letter, her looping cursive filling the page.
My light in this darkness. She saw the man beneath the cut, the heart behind
the grim façade. Her letters were a glimpse of the world outside
these walls. She shared her dreams, her troubles, her very soul. And I
confessed things to her I’d never uttered aloud. The abandoned boy who
turned to the club for family, the gnawing loneliness beneath the swagger.
She understood. We were both fighting our own demons.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">The guard slammed the bars again. “Chow time, Joker! Look
alive!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I tucked Cleo’s letter into my pocket, close to my heart. I’d
survive another day in this concrete tomb just to read her words again
tonight. And someday, somehow, I’d be free. I wasn’t sure what
would happen then. We were worlds apart in a lot of ways. Once I left this
place, Cleo would come to be a part of my past. It would be dangerous for us
to keep in touch.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I shuffled into the cafeteria, the din of inmates engulfing me. I kept my
head down as I grabbed my tray of slop and found an empty table. Solitude
was survival in this jungle. Placing my arm around my tray, I shoveled food
into my mouth. In this place, you had to protect what was yours.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">My thoughts drifted to Cleo as I forced down the cold mush. She
hadn’t written in weeks. Her family was poison. From what I’d
gathered they were all rotten to the core. She only hinted at the horrors
she’d seen, but I sensed the fear beneath her brave words. At
seventeen, she shouldn’t be worried about surviving. She should be
having fun with her friends, enjoying her high school years, and figuring
out where she wanted to go in life. I hated not being able to do anything
for her, except listen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">My fists clenched, rage simmering through my veins. If they touched one
hair on her head, I’d kill them. She was too pure for this world, an
angel who deserved so much more. I had to protect her, no matter the cost.
Except… the shackles binding me went deeper than this prison. I owed
my club my life and my loyalty. I couldn’t do anything without talking
to them first, and I hadn’t heard from any of them in a long-ass time.
I’d fucked up, and it had felt like they all turned their backs on
me.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">The guards herded us to the yard, the sun blinding after days under
flickering fluorescent lights. I found a shady corner and waited. Breathing
in the fresh air meant nothing without freedom. I’d only traded an
interior cage for an exterior one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">A hush fell over the inmates. The warden stormed across the yard, his face
like thunder. He stopped in front of me, his eyes hard. Well, shit. Had I
done something wrong again? It wasn’t often he came in person. Then
again, I wasn’t always nice to the guards. Maybe he was simply
protecting his men.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“You’ve got a visitor, Joker.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">My pulse quickened. No one had come to see me in years. What the fuck was
going on?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">The warden didn’t like me. In fact, we’d frequently butted
heads during my incarceration. It had to piss him off that I had a visitor.
The man would do anything to keep me from even one moment of happiness. I
knew if he could, he’d keep me locked up for the rest of my
life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I followed the warden through the maze of fences and gates until we reached
the visitation room. My breath caught when I saw her. Even though I’d
only seen one picture of her, I recognized her right away.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Cleo.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She looked small and fragile in the plastic chair, her fingers twisting a
tissue. Bruises shadowed under her eyes, barely hidden by makeup. My heart
clenched.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I sat down, picking up the phone. Her eyes flooded with tears as she did
the same.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Joker,” she whispered. “I’m so
sorry…”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“What happened?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She glanced around quickly before answering. “My brother found out
about the letters. He was furious. Said no one in the family should
associate with your kind.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">My jaw tightened, fury rising. My kind, huh? Seemed like her brother
wasn’t any better. “Did he hurt you?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“It doesn’t matter --”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“The hell it doesn’t!” I snarled. “You listen to
me. I’m getting you out of there, you hear me? We’ll leave town,
start over somewhere new.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“How?” Her voice trembled. “You still have years left of
your sentence.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I placed my hand against the glass. “Marry me.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Her eyes widened. “What?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Marry me,” I repeated. “You just turned eighteen, right?
So you don’t need your family’s permission. I know the warden
hates me, but… I’ll convince him somehow. He’ll do the
ceremony right here. Then when I get out, we can start over -- together, if
that’s what you want.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Tears spilled down her cheeks. She put her hand against mine, even though
the glass separated us. “Yes. I’ll marry you,
Joker.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I’ll find a way to get word to you. If your brother is angry
about us talking, then I can’t send it to your house. Find someone
willing to help you and send me their address. I’ll correspond with
you through them.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She nodded and wiped away more tears. We talked for another minute, then
our time was up. I watched her walk away and hoped I’d made the right
choice. If this came back to bite me in the ass, it might end up harming her
too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">* * *</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">It took two weeks to convince the warden. In the end, he only agreed in
order to help Cleo. I stood in a dingy room, still cuffed and wearing my
prison-issued jumpsuit. It wouldn’t be the wedding of her dreams, but
hopefully it kept her safe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Cleo entered the room in a simple white dress, holding a small bouquet of
daisies. Her smile nearly blinded me. I didn’t know why she looked so
happy. It made me wonder what she thought about this marriage. I had to
admit, she looked beautiful.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">We exchanged brief vows. No kiss or embrace could seal our union. It ended
nearly as soon as it had begun. The guards escorted her from the room and
sent me back to my cell. I could only hope changing her name from Cleo
Lathem to Cleo Clemons would help her in some way.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">My heart ached, knowing she had to return to that abusive household. I felt
powerless, stuck in this damn cell while she suffered. I slammed my fist
against the concrete in frustration. They couldn’t legally force her
to do anything, but people like that didn’t care about the law.
She’d have to disappear to avoid the danger of living with her family.
At least with her name changed, she’d have a chance to get away.
Hopefully, it would take them a while to figure out she’d gotten
married. I only wished I had some money to give her too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">The next visiting day, her eyes were puffy from crying as she picked up the
phone. “It’s time. I’m leaving this week. Today will be my
last visit with you.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I hadn’t expected her to ever come here again. Seeing her one last
time was more than enough. I nodded, letting her know I understood.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Go as far as you can and don’t look back,” I said.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Will you be okay?” she asked.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Don’t worry about me. I’ve survived this place this
long. I’ll be fine. Protect yourself, Cleo, whatever it
takes.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">I hung up the phone, forcing her to leave. This was for the best. She
needed a clean break. As much as I’d enjoyed her letters, I hoped she
didn’t write anymore. It was time for her to start living. I’d
miss her like hell. She’d been a bright light in this dismal place.
Without her words to carry me through, I wasn’t sure what would happen
to me. Didn’t matter. I’d possibly die in this place. Even if I
got out, my life was probably halfway over. Assuming I didn’t get
shot, stabbed, or die in some other fun way long before I became an old man.
Cleo was just getting started. There was so much of the world for her to
explore, and I hope she got the chance to see it all.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">For me, days passed. Then weeks. Months. I didn’t hear from Cleo
again. Time blurred. I lived one monotonous day after another. Wake up, work
out, eat, work, eat again, sleep. Wash, rinse, repeat.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">My thoughts constantly drifted to Cleo when I wasn’t occupied. Was
she eating enough? Getting any sleep? Staying safe from her family’s
crooked dealings?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">I wondered where she was now. How far had she gone? Was it a big enough
distance her family couldn’t find her? Part of me wondered if
we’d ever bump into each other again in the future, once I put this
place behind me. It ate at me, not knowing if she was safe or not. Had the
plan worked? Or had I married her for no reason?</span>

</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Umeå, Northern
Sweden: Willmar Björkman has been incarcerated for five years
after being found guilty on a murder charge; albeit unjustly
convicted according to his claims. From the very start, he has
adamantly maintained that he is innocent of the crime. Detectives
Lars and Elin are hired to find new evidence that casts doubt upon
the validity of the guilty verdict so that a retrial of his case can
be requested. Is that even possible now that so much time has passed?
The two detectives start asking around to dig up some new
information, but find themselves facing a wall of silence - nobody
seems interested in reopening the case. In fact, they themselves are
uncertain if Willmar is even innocent at all. But then the
coincidences begin to pile up and ultimately the investigation spins
completely out of control...</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">ACQUITTAL? is the fifth,
standalone book from Christer Tholin’s Stockholm Sleuth
Series.<br />
<br />
If you like fast-paced action and surprising
twists and turns, then you will love Christer Tholin's sleuth series.</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Buy ACQUITTAL? to see how this
suspenseful case is solved!</span></p>

afford him the opportunity to portray Swedish society as seen through
the eyes of a foreigner. The result: his "Stockholm Sleuth

<span style="font-family: arial;"><b>The secrets of the bayou dance to the rhythm of jazz!</b><br />
<br />
She
was the princess of Bayou Belle, sleeping with me, a bayou rat born
on the wrong sides of the sheets.<br />
<br />
Gaia Doucet was my first
love, the one who had me body and soul…until she accused me of
something terrible; and I was sent into cruel exile by her mother.
But now, ten years later, I'm back. Her grandfather has left me
controlling interest of the Doucet empire and I'm ready to enjoy my
revenge. I'll start with her mother and end with her.</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
While
I made a fortune in New York, she's slinging drinks at Jazz Sessions,
her brothers' bar in the pulsing heart of the French Quarter. I have
achieved all my dreams and she's a failure.<br />
<br />
I'm ready to
crush her into the ground even though I want her with the same
desperation as I did a decade ago.<br />
<br />
But when someone hires
a hitman to kill her, it sets off a tumultuous QUAKE that shakes the
very foundations of our lives. Hate her, I may, but I won't be able
to live in a world where she's not there.<br />
<br />
In the steamy,
seductive streets of New Orleans, where secrets and scandals are as
common as the sultry jazz rhythms, Quake is the first book in the
Jazz Sessions series. Please note, each novel in this series is
a standalone romance, complete with its own satisfying happily ever
after. Yet, the shadow of a sinister family mystery stretches across
the arc of the first three books.<br />
<br />
Perfect for fans of LJ
Shen and Shain Rose.<br />
<br />
Note: This book contains mature
themes, including violence, strong language, & sexual content,

writing the score for his film… It’s a great gig until we score
in other ways.<br />
<br />
In my teens, Ethan Stone was one of the
biggest stars, and I had a huge crush on him. Until a decade later,
while I’m standing next to him on a movie set and he opens his
mouth. What a jerk!<br />
<br />
Luckily, I’m here to write and
perform the songs for the movie. So I don’t have to work with him
at all.<br />
<br />
That is until the director and Ethan’s agent ask
me to fake date him to generate some tabloid gossip about the
movie.<br />
<br />
I’d rather shower naked with a hungry bear.<br />
<br />
But
I’ve made a promise to myself, so I need to see this project to the
end. And if I play this right, I might just be able to do that and
get the hell out of this selfish, backstabbing industry.<br />
<br />
But
Ethan has a secret, and I’ve just fallen in love…

That doesn’t mean
I won’t do it.<br />
<br />
When my client auditions for the role of
a lifetime, I cross paths with the casting director—former teenage
bad boy Joey Radnor all grown up and even more delicious than I
remember. But he’s also broody, rude, and self-centered. I want to
run when he asks me out, but I can’t tick off the guy in charge of
hiring my client.<br />
<br />
Our date is even worse than I expected,
and once it’s over, I ignore him rather than admit I can’t stand
the man I spent most of my teenage years drooling over. But when he
cuts my client from the roster, my job and reputation are on the
line. Meeting him face to face again is a bad idea. We’re oil and
water. We don’t mix.<br />
<br />
But when I look into those gorgeous
eyes, I know we can beat the odds…if we don’t kill each other
first.

for it to continue.<br />
<br />
Ready to leave modeling behind, I
strut into an A-lister event to pitch my cosmetics line. Investors
are swarming until a self-absorbed movie star barges in and asks me
out. I’m dumbfounded when the investors scatter, but Teddy is good
looking, famous, and most importantly, rich.<br />
<br />
A few dates
certainly couldn’t hurt.<br />
<br />
Teddy’s agent thinks I’m
bad news, but dating him is better publicity than modeling. When
Teddy and I become closer, though, his agent makes him choose between
me and his career. Hurt when he hesitates, I end it for
him.<br />
<br />
Depressed and alone, I cling to his fading spotlight
and release my cosmetics line early. When sales explode, the press
claims our relationship was a stunt to sell products, which was maybe
true…at first.<br />
<br />
When my personal life implodes, I realize
the one solid thing in my life had been Teddy, and I’d let ambition
ruin that.<br />
<br />
He has no reason to take me back, but with the
rest of my life in ruins, I have nothing left to lose.

</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Back to the old homestead. Lulu snorted and pulled onto the dirt road
leading to the witch enclave. She wasn’t a witch herself. Hell, she
wasn’t even sure what she was -- the daughter of a witch and an elf.
Did that make her a Wilf? An Elch? She had magic, but she wasn’t good
with spells. She couldn’t bake for shit and refused to live in a
tree.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She drove the mucky path passing for a street to the house she’d
grown up in. When she’d left for college, she’d been so
wide-eyed and excited. So ready to embrace the world.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Then Tom happened. He’d consumed her life. He made her feel things.
Showed her there was more to life, but most of it wasn’t good. He
needed control.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Of course, he did.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Being a sorcerer, he lived for control.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Every time she looked back on her last few years, she winced. She’d
been so naive. She’d let him do all the things he’d done because
she thought she loved him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">He’d never loved her.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">But that didn’t matter now. She’d broken free from his control,
and he’d moved on to his next victim.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She stopped in her parents’ driveway, but her thoughts clogged her
mind. She’d considered his next girlfriend a victim. God. What a piece
of work Tom was!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">That didn’t matter. She’d come home. She’d gone back to
what she knew so she could heal her heart.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She left the car and strode over to the barn. Poofs of colored smoke shot
from the chimney. Her mother must be creating.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She spied the plants in the field. Her father had finally got the crops out
on time. Good for him. A smile pulled at her lips. At least someone had
their life going in the right direction.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She’d figure hers out soon enough.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She diverted from the barn and made her way over to the field. She breathed
in the clean scent of the crops. Eerie was a hot mess at times, but it was
also the place for paranormals to be themselves. It was a safe place.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She’d thought she needed a place to run away to, but not when home
called. It wasn’t like she had a lost love back home. She’d
never had a boyfriend when she’d been in Eerie. She hadn’t been
enough of a paranormal -- not looking like an elf or witch. She’d been
too normal and teased for her appearance. Being different hadn’t
bothered her, though. She shook her head. She’d pulled herself up and
grown. She wasn’t the same girl who’d left town.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“You made it.” Daff, her father, bounded up to her. “Got
a lot to move in?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I’m not moving in, Daddy.” She’d found an
apartment on March Avenue, above a bakery. Sue her for liking the
smells.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I didn’t think you would be, but I cleaned up the second floor
just in case.” He wiped his hands on a towel hanging from his pocket.
“What are you planning to do?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I’m living in the Towers. Fourth floor. I’ll get the
keys this evening. It’s furnished so I don’t have to move
anything but my clothes.” She’d worked out a deal with Marina,
her second cousin, to get the last furnished unit.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Good. I’m glad.” Her father hesitated. “Are you
having a roommate?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“No.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Are you sure? A witch alone?” Her father shook his head.
“We have room.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“You do, but I need to do this on my own.” She hugged him.
“But I appreciate the concern. I’m only a call
away.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I know,” her father said. “Got a job yet?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“At Linc’s.” She wasn’t sure working at a bar was
smart, but it was a job.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“The bar?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“In the restaurant. I head there next.” She stepped back.
“Just wanted to see you and Mom. I can use all the anchors I can
get.” She needed them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“You’re always welcome here.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I know. Is Mom around?” She hadn’t seen her and her
mother tended to be the center of attention.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“She’s mixing spells with Grinella.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She should’ve guessed. “She spends a lot of time there with
her.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“She does.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Sadness tinged his voice and she hesitated. “To the exclusion of
you?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“A bit.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Daddy.” She wasn’t sure what to do to help him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“She needs to find herself, so I’m letting her.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“But you’re unhappy.” She would be, too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I am, but I’ll be here for her.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“What do you want? For you? Not for Mom?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">He stared at her. “I never thought about it.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I know.” She sat beside him on the fence. “What do you
want?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“To farm. To have my animals and work the land. To feel the earth in
my hands. To be loved,” he said. “All those things.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Then that’s what you should do. All of those things. Have you
told Mom you don’t feel loved?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“She’s never home and when she is, she’s drifting.
It’s like I can’t reach her.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“You need to try and tell her.” She hugged him. “I
didn’t tell Reuben how I felt and it made life miserable. It
would’ve changed so much and might have kept me from dating
Tom.” Might have made her life better.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I will.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“You need to.” She sighed. “I’ll check on you, but
I need to get to work.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Go ahead. I’ll be okay.” He nodded. “It’ll
always be okay.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“You’re sure?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I am.” He offered a sad smile. “Go. Get your life
going.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“I will.” She hesitated before heading to her car. She wanted
to be there for her dad. To help him have the best. For both him and her
mother. She loved them and they did love each other, but they weren’t
good at communicating. Right now, they seemed pulled apart. Sort of like her
situation with Reuben. He’d felt abandoned and used that feeling to
walk away. He claimed he had to find his happiness. He hadn’t cared
that she was confused by her own feelings and overwhelmed. He didn’t
care that she wasn’t sure how to deal with stress, but he wanted what
he wanted when he wanted it, and if someone argued, they were wrong. Not
him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She’d been wrong often. But she hadn’t told him how she’d
felt.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She slid behind the wheel, then left the farm. Dust swirled in her wake.
Gravel crunched under her tires. A sense of freedom washed over her. She was
her own woman. No Tom or Reuben to stand in her way. A single lady. And it
was time she found her own happy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Not at a bar, but that was a job. She drove across Eerie, passing the
woods, the lake with light sparkling on the water and so peaceful.
She’d never been much of a nature lover, but she appreciated the
solitude and ability to get lost in the woods to center herself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She continued to the east end of town. Most residents hated the east end
because of the rough crowd that tended to frequent the area. The bars and
dance halls were there. So was the bail bondsman’s office.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She parked in the lot behind the bar in the staff area. The hotel stood
behind the bar and seemed to groan in the late afternoon sun. She
didn’t know many of the vehicles, but she hadn’t worked there
yet. She hadn’t met the gang. Being hired the day before made knowing
people difficult. She left her car and locked it, then ventured into the
building.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Hi.” A blond man with a dirty T-shirt stood by the kitchen
sink. “First day?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“It is.” She recognized the man. The satyr. She thought his
name was Stav. Or something like that. “You’re here
today?” She’d been warned against him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Always.” He grinned and dried his hands. “My brother
owns the bar. I’m sure Lance hired you.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“He did.” The easy conversation reassured her. “He
mentioned his baby brother.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">“Good or bad?” A wicked glimmer filled his eyes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">“A little bit of both.”</span>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;"><b>About the Author</b></span></p>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b><i>Embark on a Mystical Journey in ‘The Last Mage of Erenor’ - a
captivating tale of magic, courage, and the quest for balance in a world
where light and darkness vie for control.</i></b></span>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">In the shadowed realm of Erenor, where magic whispers as a forgotten myth,
a latent power stirs. Lysandra, a hidden mage with a legacy as ancient as
the land itself, is thrust into a destiny that intertwines with the very
essence of her world.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">She's a magnificent sword person and always carries her sword, etched with
runes by her side. Another loyal and constant companion is her Black Wolf,
Shadow, whom she has rescued as a pup.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">When her secret abilities are unveiled, Lysandra faces the wrath of King
Draven, the King of Erenor's city, Tyrannis, oppressive regime. Guided by
the teachings and wisdom of the sage Master Elarion and joined by Aerin, a
hunter seeking redemption, and Feyla, an ingenious inventor, Lysandra
embarks on a perilous quest to rekindle the lost arcane energies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">From the oppressive streets of Tyrannis to the mystical depths of the
SilfrenDeor Forest and the formidable Iron Mountains, their journey unravels
a tapestry of adventure, ancient secrets, and dark forces. Confronting
malevolent creatures like the sinister Shadow Hounds and the corrupted
dragon, The Harrow, they navigate a world teetering on the brink of
chaos.</span>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>As the last descendant of the First Mage, Lysandra stands as the beacon of
hope in a land torn between fear and wonder. But can she overcome the
shadows of her lineage and restore the balance of magic in Erenor?</b></span>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">Just as she and her allies manage to beat their enemy, King Draven, and
restore Erenor's magic, Lysandra and her allies as well as her black Wolf,
Shadow and the Dragon, the Harrow receive the bad news that all of Erenor is
not free from the dark magic that corrupted it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">But this time, the threat is even greater - an unknown evil with power over
black magic and the ability to summon dangerous and ancient creatures.
Lysandra, Aerin, Feyla, Shadow, and The Harrow must set off once again to
confront this foe, a being that could be a Sorcerer or even a Demon.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial; line-height: 107%;">In a last cataclysmic battle, Lysandra discovers a shocking truth - she has
a connection to this Demon, and her light and dark sides are in a constant
battle for control.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">With her runic sword, her wolf Shadow, and the Dragon Harrow, Lysandra
finally manages to slay the Demon and his dark magic. But the victory is
bittersweet, as rumors of danger in Erenor still persist and new creatures
emerge from the celestial fracture.</span>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><i>In the next installment of <b>The Chronicles of Erenor</b>, Lysandra and her
allies will once again face these challenges and fight to bring harmony to a
fractured world.</i></span>

Iraq.</span></b></p>

</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When Elliott Gildart decides to
join an archeological dig in the drylands of northern Iraq, he
expects a break from his monotonous job. But the discovery of an
unusual and out-of-place megalithic platform turns exploration into a
risky undertaking and leaves Elliott facing a future he’s not sure
he’s prepared for.</span></p>
<p style="border: none; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Meanwhile, Neil Feaver and his
cameraman, Jake Parvis, stumble upon their own strange developments
while filming a documentary about Iraq’s ongoing civil war. Saved
from imminent danger by a mysterious stranger, they soon learn that
lost magic and mystical artifacts have fallen into the wrong hands.
Now, everyone finds themselves caught in the crisis, involving
coalition forces, Islamist militants, and enigmatic factions that
have existed since the times of the Ancient Near East.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial;">As terrifying forces align, can they prevent impending peril? Or
will ancient magic be enough to turn the tides?

the world’s mythology and folklore traditions since reading Greek

writing or exploring new countries and their cultural histories, you
can find him settled in the United Kingdom, studying the comparative
tendencies in folktales around the world.
