A kidnapped baby. A mother’s will to find her. A killer targeting them both.

Five years ago Tina Alvarez was trapped in a sex-trafficking ring. Five years ago she bore a daughter who sold on the black market. But five years didn’t erase her tenacity to get her little girl back … and get even with the onres who took her.

When rookie private investigator Ari Wilburn accepts her first case to find Tina’s long-lost daughter, Ari unravels something bigger than a missing child lead. A serial killer is targeting people close to her, and the key to why—and who—is buried deep in her past. As the investigation puts her in the killer’s crosshairs, Ari must decide between saving herself or guarding her family’s grisly secrets.

But for Ari it’s not easy being a savior. Bringing Tina’s daughter back means taking the child from the only family she knows. Is reuniting Tina with her little girl worth destroying this child’s life, and possibly her own?

A killer is watching. Plotting. Can Ari stop what’s already begun?

A private investigator crime fiction story for fans of Joy Ellis and Leslie Wolfe.

I'm Aodan. Thief. Really good thief.

And a dragon.

My best friend Margrite and me are nearly out of this crappy city. With this last job, we'll have enough to disappear on an island somewhere. We're so close I can practically smell the rum drinks.

But then all hell breaks loose when I wake up as a dragon. You know, teeth, claws, blue scales. The feeling of smoke is a permanent fixture in my throat. The dragon pops out when it wants to, and I black out.

I don't have time for this.

Someone is determined to kill me. I have no home anymore, and nowhere to hide while I sleep off the dragon. Along with the scales, I now have this annoying voice in my head, wanting to talk, and meet, and who knows what else? All I want is to get out of here and stop sprouting a tail at inappropriate times.

Hopefully before me, or Margrite, or both of us end up killed.

Dragon Lost is the first book in the Dragon Thief series.

Ally

Being carried out of a burning building and cradled by a sexy fireman with a velvety as aged scotch voice? It should have been a panty melter but it's still one of the scariest things that's ever happened to me. I can't forget my mysterious savior or his rock hard body pressed against mine. Holding me.

Rescuing me.

He keeps appearing in my naughty dreams even though I have no idea who he is. He disappeared that night into thin air on the wings of my soot blackened fantasies. I should have known his six-pack abs spelled trouble. Now he's back and he has secrets. I know it. And I'm going to find out what they are.

Gabe

I can't forget the luscious girl I rescued from the fire. Ally. She's a stunning beauty with curves hot enough to melt the frost off a polar bear's ass. With all the wicked ways she tempts me, I want her sugary sweetness even more than one of her Red Velvet Raptures. I'll taste her. I'll ravish her until she screams my name.

I'll own her.

But how can I keep Ally in my arms and my bed where she belongs when an evil blast from my past has shown up at the counter of her cupcake bakery wanting a pound of flesh along with her Dark Chocolate Decadence? My sordid history has come back to bite me. And it's wearing heels.

Prepare to break the glass. You're going to need your fire extinguisher!

Alexandra Smith always knew her place in life. 

Spence was my first love, my only free fall, my terrible heartache.

Me: shy, quiet, nervous.

Him: outgoing, intimidating, and wild, all the things I wasn’t.

Yet we collided, smoke turning to stardust changed to flesh.

Such catastrophic connection couldn’t last. We split apart—not separated, because that word is so gentle and we cracked in half—and I haven’t seen him in two and a half years.

We aren’t the same; we never were. I hoped, but hope is nothing but a hellbent dream. I made it two years without him, I could make it forever more.

I became, in one word, happy.

And then I was kidnapped.

Spence...save me...

The Heart of Gold is a gripping romance thriller that explores not only the dangerous territory of love and marriage, but also the changing culture of modern Indian city life. Mukesh and Nithya are caught between time-honored traditions and the new, fast-paced global lifestyle.

Mukesh, a successful business man on a steady rise in the corporate world, is hesitant when his mother urges him to find a wife. But when she introduces him to the bride she’s chosen for him, Mukesh is surprised by his luck: Nithya is beautiful, smart, cultured, and from a good family. It seems like a perfect match, and he finds himself falling in love.

But before he can settle into his new married life, Nithya tells him the horrible truth: her parents blackmailed her into the marriage. Instead of love and companionship, it’s longing and agony for Mukesh while Nithya feels only anger and resentment towards him and her parents.

To make matters worse, Giridhar, a flame from Nithya’s past, unexpectedly makes his way back into her life. At first, Nithya is wary of her ex, but as she grows more and more distant from her husband and her parents, she finds herself letting him in. Giridhar convinces her to go away with him on vacation, where events take a dangerous turn. When she awakens, locked inside a lodge alone in the dead of night, to a strange noise at the door, she realizes that perhaps she shouldn’t have trusted him so blindly.

Meanwhile, Mukesh struggles to come to terms with his failed marriage and his wife’s abandonment. With no one else to turn to, Nithya calls him in her desperation, but will he be willing to help her despite his anger and wounded pride? Can they put the past behind them to disentangle her from the peril she put herself in?

Burned by the people she trusted most, she hid for years behind a self-made suit of physical armor, a pretty smile, and a selfless demeanor.

But no more.

She's risen from the ashes and is committed to putting herself first from now on.

No matter what.

Even if it belongs to the first guy who ever made her blush.

Hiroshima was one of the great tragedies of WWII.

But out of the devastation of the first atomic bomb, some survivors emerged - twenty-five courageous Japanese women who became part of a remarkable humanitarian epic.

Victims of the atomic blast that ushered in the Nuclear Age, these women were brought to the United States in 1955, where they underwent reconstructive surgery to repair the ravages of the bomb.

Schoolgirls when the bomb destroyed their futures, they began to remake their lives and re-create themselves.

This is the compassionate, often bittersweet chronicle of the Hiroshima Maidens.

It follows their lives from the terrifying moments of the detonation of the bomb, through their years as outcasts in their own country, to their not always idyllic stay in America, and on to their lives since — some tragic, some heroic, some affectingly ordinary.

“An illuminating portrait of heroic people...A sobering inspiration for all of us” — Philadelphia Inquirer

“Controlled, fearsome, wonderful, appalling.” — Los Angeles Times

“Evokes a range of human emotions that has been lost in the dead vocabulary of annihilation and deterrence” — The New York Times

Rodney Barker has been an editor, an investigative reporter, and a feature writer for a wide variety of regional and national magazines. In 1979 he was one of three American journalists awarded travel grants to Japan to write about Hiroshima; his resulting reportage, which was published in the Denver Post, reawakened his involvement with the Hiroshima Maidens, two of whom had stayed with his family when he was a child.
 

Lexie Sarcone is just your average girl. She's a twenty-six year old, petite brunette with a feisty streak who carries a pair of handcuffs around since they coordinate so nicely with her badge and gun. Some men find that a turn-on but not Lexie's ex-boyfriend. After he left her, citing her job as the problem, Lexie swore off dating, and working as a decoy for vice only solidified her resolve. But now that Officer Sarcone has transferred to burglary division, all bets are off.

Detective Michael Riley has a reputation for being a ladies' man. His chiseled features, gorgeous eyes, and sexy body have allowed him to get away with a lot of things, but underneath the good looks lies a competent investigator. The job is one of the few things that Michael takes seriously, and protecting his fellow officers comes above all else.

When the department's top detectives are assigned to investigate a string of home invasions that are being orchestrated by an unknown crime syndicate, Detective Riley enlists the help of a few new recruits. Immediately, he and Lexie are drawn to one another, but the job must come first. A drunken evening and a few close calls inevitably force the two to admit they have an undeniable chemistry, but Lexie isn't sure if she can let someone get close to her again, especially someone with Michael's reputation. As they struggle to stop the crime spree, Michael must find a way to prove himself to Lexie. His only goals are to win her heart and keep the city safe.

It's the night before Katie's wedding - and all four O'Conner brothers want the bride-to-be all to themselves.
