The Whistle of
Revenge
Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler Mysteries Book 4
by KD Sherrinford
Genre: Historical Mystery Romance
Sometimes, our deepest fear is not the darkness but the
light that blinds.
If you loved Conan Doyle’s, The Hound of the
Baskerville, prepare to be enthralled by KD Sherrinford’s captivating
follow-up, The Whistle of Revenge.
The deadly antagonist, Jack Stapleton, makes a spectacular
return to the city of Milan in pursuit of his old nemesis, the celebrated
Detective Sherlock Holmes.
Adopting the enigmatic persona of Janus, a vengeful
Stapleton, along with the Italian mafia, wreak havoc on the Italian horse
racing fraternity and fledgling car manufacturing industry, and kidnapping
Holmes’s beloved son as part of their evil and well-executed master
plan—Operation Whistle.
Will Holmes, Irene Adler, and their trusted ally, Inspector
Romano, crack the code, rescue the boy, and unmask the deadly Janus?
Set against the backdrop of modern Milan, mind games and
misdeeds of the highest order play out as the story reaches its thrilling and
memorable conclusion.
The deepest secrets are often to be found out in the open,
if you only know where to look.
While her husband, Sherlock Holmes, is off playing detective
in London, Irene Adler finds herself having to turn investigator when her
friend Renata becomes the prime suspect in the attempted murder of her husband,
Luigi Amato. How can she refute the testimony of a credible eyewitness, even
though her heart tells her that Renata is innocent? What she needs is tangible
evidence, and she’s willing to do what she must to obtain it.
When Sherlock finally arrives on the scene, Irene seeks his
counsel, and he agrees to assist with her investigation. However their
relationship is called into question by Irene’s dear friend Sophia, who is not
overly fond of Irene’s husband nor approving of the way in which they conduct
their marriage. Will Irene be able to prove her friend Renata’s innocence, or
is there a more tangled web of deception at play? And will Sophia’s misgivings
regarding her marriage bear unfortunate fruit?

What will the Saporis find under the tree this year—Christmas presents, or
family skeletons?
In
the spirit of the holiday and a wish for familial harmony, Irene Adler
persuades her detective husband to invite his brother Mycroft to Christmas
luncheon. Holmes had cut ties with his brother when he discovered the
machinations Mycroft employed that drove Sherlock and Adler apart for four
years. He isn’t really sure this reunion is a great idea, but he can deny his
wife nothing.
Of course, they can’t tell the children what Mycroft is to them,
as that would entail learning that their father is the celebrated detective
when they know him simply as Lucca Sapori. And just when they think things may
be going better than expected, ghosts of the past crop up in unexpected ways
and threaten to ruin the holidays for everyone.
Finalist at The
Chanticleer International Book Awards for Romantic Fiction- The Chatelaine—
Proud Recipient of The Editors Gold Seal.
Love is the aria of the soul.
Charlotte Sapori has led a wonderful life, safely tucked in the bosom of her
family. Her mother, Irene Adler, is a renowned opera singer, while her father,
Lucca Sapori, does important government work that frequently takes him away
from them. Charlotte is close to her older brother, Nicco, and they are both
doted on by their parents. All is well until her mother receives an unexpected
diagnosis which shakes the family to its core.
Knowing herself to be dying, Adler confesses to Charlotte things that have long
been kept from her, telling her to find and read her diary. A distressed Lucca
Sapori tells his daughter to read his as well. And by the way, Lucca Sapori is
not his real name. In fact, she may have heard of him—he is actually the
world-famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
Charlotte finds both diaries and plunges into the hidden world of Irene Adler
and Sherlock Holmes as she discovers what brought them together, and how they
managed to stay together for thirty years despite having to battle the odds.

A Change of Heart
Boys of Bragg Book 1
by Randa Knight
Genre: Military Romance
One summer changed everything.
Dee
One night.
One decision.
Taking chances isn't a new concept to me, but I've never
been one to take a chance on love. Michael changes all of that. No more party
girl, no more one-night stands. I fall hard for the cerulean-eyed sex god who
shows me what it's like to truly be cherished and loved.
Only, I'm not sure how long it can last.
Michael
I knew the moment I met Dee that she was trouble. But when
she unexpectedly opens up to me the night we meet, I realize she's the only
person who could change how I think about relationships, how I feel, and how I
look at life. She's a fiery, spontaneous woman who challenges me at every turn.
I should let her go. But I don't think I want to.
But right now my career won’t allow me to be the kind of man
she deserves.
And Dee doesn’t trust herself or my love for her.
If I’m going to keep her, I have to let her walk away, as
much as it pains me to my core.
Yes, it sounds crazy and it might just backfire, but if my
plan pays off, we’ll both stop running and finally realize how much we need
each other, how our hearts were made for each other.
I've been the black sheep of the family my entire life, so
I'm looking forward to this fresh start. My job and new friends are great and
I’m finding happiness. Then I met Brax--the gorgeous soldier with huge muscles,
but he’s also sweet, caring, and loves art. Oh, and he’s completely off-limits,
thanks to my overprotective brother who’s Brax’s first sergeant. Will he chase
Brax away like he’s done my entire life?
Brax
To protect and serve: it's all I've ever wanted to do. Being
a model soldier has been my life's dream. But then I met Cat, the little pixie
artist who stole my heart. Now, all I want to do is be with her, but there's
just one problem--her brother is my first sergeant. Now I'll have to choose
between being the perfect soldier for my unit… or being her perfect partner.
I've harbored a secret crush on Grant ever since that
freckle-faced kid first set foot in our yard when I was just six years old. I
knew he was special. Grant has always had this uncanny ability to understand me
on a soul-deep level, yet I've kept my feelings hidden, knowing he's not just
my brother's best friend but also my rock. He's the one who keeps me steady,
soothing me when the chaos of life threatens to overwhelm me. Grant is my true
north. Until we cross that line.
As the line blurs between friendship and something more, I'm
left grappling with a daunting question: Is he worth the gamble of disrupting
the delicate balance of our friendship and the stability we've carefully built
together?
Grant
I'd do anything for Ivy Rose, but even I have my limits.
I've tried everything to show her how I feel. Helping her raise her son? Done.
Starting a friends-with-benefits arrangement? Maybe not my best idea. Admitting
I want to spend my life with her? Definitely, the scariest thing I've ever
done. Then the unthinkable happens, turning our world upside down. I'm hurt,
and angry, and that's when I need her the most.
Can I put my anger aside and forgive her, or will we be
stuck in silence forever? Our friendship might be on the line, but my heart
tells me Ivy is worth the risk.
My dream girl unexpectedly falls into my life, but with only
one weekend together, she’s left me craving more. When she reappears, warnings
from my friends urge me to stay away, but I can’t. I keep finding reasons to
see her. Talk to her. Be near her.
Can I convince her to give our connection a chance?
Sami
I never imagined encountering my Comic Con fling among my
sister’s social circle, only to have him play the role of a stranger. Despite
his charming demeanor, Joel doesn’t fit my usual type of nerdy guys. But as I
discover more about him, I question whether there’s more beneath his confident
exterior.
Can he show me that opposites attract in the most unexpected
ways?
Will they give in to their feelings and give their romance a
chance, or will they let their differences and their friends keep them apart?
