The moment he walked in her condo, BBW billionaire Keisha knew that she wanted him. It didn’t matter that bad boy military, Detective Hunter Blake who was investigating her money laundering crime was off-limits.

She wanted him.

Ms. Billionaire is used to getting what she wants.

All she knew was that she wanted him holding her, kissing her and possessing her even more than she wanted to him to free her from this mystery she found herself wrapped up in.

And Hunter wanted her- all of her, mind, body and soul…, just like someone else wants her gone.

The weather outside is frightful
But my abs and chest are delightful
And since I’ve got no place to go
Let it ‘O’, let it ‘O, let it ‘O’

It doesn’t show signs of stoppin’’
Your pants are going to be droppin’
I’m gonna turn the lights down low
Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow

Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And your baby’s started a-cryin’
This bad boy wants to go
Tell me no, tell me no, tell me no

He’s found his mate and he’s keeping her.

Julia begins to recover from her injuries, but as her health grows stronger, so does her desire for the handsome, tortured Duque de Torme.

Romance Heat Level: Warm-Hot (4.5 out of 5)

Bound by need. Entwined in secrets.

Krystina Cole was a girl on a mission. She had big dreams and aspirations, none of which included a man by her side. She knew better than that – at least until she met Alexander Stone, the New York billionaire real estate tycoon. She saw the way he looked at her, and the dark promises in his eyes. She was curious about his world and all it entailed. But the shadows of her past haunted her, making her afraid to explore the possibilities she could never before have imagined.

Alexander Stone was a man who knew how to get what he wanted. He understood the value of finesse, and the importance of patience and diligence to achieve the desired result. He was successful and wealthy, relying on his naturally sharp instincts to guide him through life. But a chance run in with Krystina Cole quickly turned his world upside down. Her quick wit and firecracker attitude was the complete opposite of what he wanted in a woman, and his instincts failed him at every turn.

However, both Krystina and Alexander are clinging to the secrets in their past, and neither of them are willing to compromise. Krystina’s hardened heart makes emotional surrender a hard limit. But for Alexander, revealing his past could have devastating results.

Heart of Stone is a full-length novel, over 380 pages, and the first of three books in The Stone Series.

She's Blonde. She’s clever. She’s in his office. London based PI David Good doesn’t stand a chance.

South London. The 1980s. David Good, a morally confused and womanising private investigator, is hired by a ridiculously beautiful blonde to help her fend off the attentions of a serial blackmailer. But he's barely got to grips with the woman's keen sense of self-interest when he stumbles on to something far more unsavoury.

Never one to run a mile when a woman needs help, Good finds himself up to his neck in trouble, upsetting some unpleasant people with short fuses and their own self-interest to protect. This time his trade mark sense of humour might not be enough to see him safely out the other side, but the clock's ticking, so for once he ignores the obvious risk to his own carelessly maintained health and starts to unmask an illicit trade that's been causing a great deal of suffering.

Join David Good as he seeks to simultaneously unravel both the crime and the woman.

"Westerham’s writing is tight, smooth to read, carries great descriptions and all with a dry wit and wry humor." Amazon USA review of 'Good Girl Gone Bad'.

This book is part of the David Good, private investigator series, which can be read in any order you like.

George Eliot was the nom de plume of Mary Ann Evans (1819-80), a novelist, poet, journalist and translator who was considered one of the leading writers of the Victorian Age.

In her time she was spoken of as a modern Shakespeare, and the enduring legacy of her penultimate novel, ‘Middlemarch’, bears testimony to the assertion.

In 1851 Eliot began the life she would continue on until her death, becoming assistant editor of the Westminster Review: while female writers were not uncommon, female editors were.

After surrendering the editorship and abruptly travelling abroad, her first complete novel, ‘Adam Bede’, was finally published in 1859.

Noted for drawing upon the places and people around her as much as the era and its many facets, Eliot also delved into history, and her works became literary and popular successes.

This biography, written by a friend of Eliot’s, also acts as a criticism, candidly exploring parallels and inspirations in her life so that we might better understand her as a writer.

Oscar Browning (1837-1923) was a historian and educational reformer, writing more than twenty books of British and European history, memories and educational theory over the course of his lifetime and co-founding the Cambridge University Day Training College.

The guy pulled the pin on the hand grenade and rolled it to me.

I dove through the trap door in the floor and clamped my hands over my ears. As the floorboards exploded above me, and pieces of wood shot like missiles into my arm, I knew this case had gotten serious.

What made me take a case that would send me racing through the streets of LA in an old muscle car, smashing into cars and getting shot at, windows bursting in my face?

Well, long red hair and legs to die for, might have had something to do with it.

I’d been working out of an office in one of those old buildings downtown. You know the type, built in the twenties with a marble staircase, a broken elevator and huge windows. Me and young Nick, my assistant, were working nickel and dime stuff: missing persons, insurance fraud, and rounding up a fugitive here and there.

And then she happened. This Sophie Devonshire case happened. I heard heels clicking on the tile landing, and looked up from my desk. Into my office walked a redhead with an envelope full of cash. As she crossed the room in that tight skirt, my mouth dropped open.

I recovered after the introductions, and allowed her to tell her story.

Mrs. Sophie Devonshire had been attacked. Her home had been broken into. I saw fear in those soft green eyes. That’s why I took the case. I mean, yeah, of course those legs were going through my head. But beyond that, I wanted to help. I knew her fear was real. I’m Private Detective Jason Dalton.

It all started, she said, when she found a metal disc covered with strange writing, among her late husband’s things.

So I began there, with her late husband. I had no idea that he had lived a deadly, double life.

THE EXCITEMENT OF AN ACTION THRILLER AND THE SWIRLING EMOTIONS OF A MAINSTREAM PSYCHOLOGICAL NOVEL...

VOLUMES 2 and 3 of Kimberly Amato’s heart-stopping Jasmine Steele series are collected in this nicely priced bundle, and if we do say so, this series has it all—a tough-as-hell yet complex female cop and the kind of pulse-pounding plots you might find in a psychological thriller. Jazz is very much a family kind of woman—and her family’s a bit unconventional; that is, what's left of it. She’s had a lot of heartbreak; by now, she can pretty well stand up to anything. Readers will love her as much for her compassion and loyalty to friends and family as for her bravery. Still, we feel we should mention:
Jasmine’s not for the faint-hearted. But hard-boiled police procedural fans will rejoice.

MELTING STEELE, BOOK TWO
Still recovering from a murder attempt, tough New York homicide detective Jasmine Steele is slowly coming to grips with a world that's seemingly gone mad. But her short-lived peace of mind is once again shattered by a case…an entire family's been viciously murdered. Hard-boiled alert: author Kimberly Amato pulls no punches. The mother's throat was slit while trying to call for help and the father was shot in the chest, then gruesomely sliced up while still alive, like a scene from a horror film. Also found, the body of their young son, about Jazz’s son’s age, left in the closet with a snapped neck.

But it's the remaining clues to a missing fourth victim--a teenage daughter named Kaley--that leave her reeling. Kaley's seemingly disappeared without a trace. Soon Jazz discovers that the family had plenty of disturbing skeletons in its closet. Skeletons possibly warranting hiring a hit man on the Internet…

Ever-fearless Jazz jumps head-first into the opaque abyss of corrupt New York finance and down the dangerous and secretive rabbit hole of the Deep Web. Can she manage to trace a cold-blooded killer, using only the most untraceable technology known to man?

BREAKING STEELE, BOOK THREE
Gory video game violence comes home to roost when two store managers are brutally murdered in the back room of their gaming shop just before peek holiday season. The corporation that owns the store is doing everything it can to keep the matter quiet—but they won’t succeed if detective Jasmine Steele cracks the case. Because said corporation has plenty of skeletons in its closet; and one of them is far too familiar to our heroine…Kimberly Amato serves up a heart-pounding, chilling addition to the Jasmine Steele hard-boiled mystery series—a fast-paced police procedural that’s as gripping as it is eerily personal. And it comes with a captivating (although, as Jazz might say, a slightly “nerdy”) bonus: a heaping dose of the fascinating ins and outs of video game subculture. Which is far more murderous than the average reader would suspect.

Those who can't get enough of the exciting new wave of hard-boiled women sleuths, fueled by writers like Megan Abbott, Laura Lippmann, Lisa Lutz, and Vicki Hendricks will love Amato’s take-no-prisoners style, her unflinching attention to harrowing detail, and, not least, her most memorable creation—Jasmine Steele herself.

Lovers of traditional mysteries won't be left out either. They’ll appreciate the web of fierce loyalty tempered with fearful caution that links Jazz’s tiny but hardy support system—both at work and at home. Somehow or other, in each book, Amato manages to mix all the excitement of an action thriller with the swirling emotions of a mainstream psychological novel.

When family secrets are unearthed, a woman’s past can become a dangerous place to hide…

After the death of her adoptive mother, Ava Saunders comes upon a peculiar photograph, sealed and hidden away in a crawl space. The photo shows a shuttered, ramshackle house on top of a steep hill. On the back, a puzzling inscription: Destiny calls us.

Ava is certain that it’s a clue to her elusive past. Twenty-three years ago, she’d been found wrapped in a yellow blanket in the narthex of the Holy Saviour Catholic Church—and rescued—or so she’d been told. Her mother claimed there was no more to the story, so the questions of her abandonment were left unanswered. For Ava, now is the time to find the roots of her mother’s lies. It begins with the house itself—once the scene of a brutal double murder.

When Ava enlists the help of the two people closest to her, a police detective and her best friend, she fears that investigating her past could be a fatal mistake. Someone is following them there. And what’s been buried in Ava’s nightmares isn’t just a crime. It’s a holy conspiracy.

On the day Nora discovered that her husband, Hugh, had gotten another woman pregnant, she made a vow: I will come back to life no matter how long it takes…

It’s taken Nora three years. With the help of her best friend, she fled New York City for a small resort town, snagged a job as the advice columnist for the local paper, and is cautiously letting a new man into her life. But when Hugh and his perfect new family move into a house nearby, Nora backslides. Coping with jealousy, humiliation, and resentment again is as hard as she feared. It’s harder still when Hugh and his wife are shot to death in their home.

If only Nora could account for the night of the murders. Unfortunately, her memories have gone as dark as her fantasies of revenge. But Nora’s not the only one with a reason to kill—and as prime suspect in the crime, she’d better be able to prove it.

Purely Business. No hearts involved…

That’s how this public relations romance – a showmance – was described to best selling author Paige Mitchell. Dating Hollywood heartthrob Nate Mason is all for the publicity. He’ll hold her hand down the red carpet and in return she’ll let him star in the movie based on her book. It’s a win-win for both of them.

Nate is charming and sexy with perfectly polished cheekbones and a smooth as chocolate British accent. She’s an American soccer mom who has had less than good luck in the love department. They shouldn’t have anything in common except ambition.

The more time they spend together, the more Paige begins to see the man behind the spoiled movie star façade. In private, he’s a different person and things are starting to get very personal. It’s going to be difficult to remember…

They’re only kissing for the cameras.

Five alphas. One omega. The fate of their pack is in their hands. But what about the fate of their hearts? 

Love and Lies ... 

HE DID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS--AND THEN THE BODIES STARTED PILING UP... The Dirty Lowdown wrote: "Nick James has nailed it. The all too dark side of our legal industry, and the type of character we're all too afraid to admit exists!" It looks like disbarred attorney Bobby Custer has won the lottery. After serving four years of a seven-year sentence, he gets an offer he can’t refuse – from the feds. They just want him to keep an eye out for shady goings-on at one of the most prestigious law firms in the city. And suddenly he’s out – out of jail, but also totally cast out of his old life: shunned by family and friends.

Bobby Custer is psychotic, narcissistic, psychopathic, greedy, unprincipled...and always charming.

He did all the right things -- went to law school, got a job in a good law firm -- right up until the conviction for “a minor dalliance with a trust fund”. You could almost feel for the guy – a young man tempted by the high life could make a mistake he regrets and end up losing everything. And a guy who’ll help you hide a body could just be a good friend. But as the bodies start piling up, you have to wonder if there’s something about Bobby that’s just not … right.

Chilling and action-packed, Corridor Man exposes a dark, violent undercurrent just beneath the surface of “perfectly legal and above-board”.

A combination of Breaking Bad and House of Cards, Corridor Man is a sinister, disturbing legal thriller series that's bound to keep you awake at night.

Books one, two and three in the Corridor Man series.

I didn’t want to fall in love with the prince. He’s a high elf, rich and handsome, and…well, there are rumors he dabbles in dark magic. I’m half-goblin and I know he’d never choose me as his bride in the first place. I just wanted my wicked stepsisters to see him dancing with me before I run away and leave this city forever, to start a new life.

But it seems my goblin godmother had other plans.

The spell she cast upon me? The one she told me would make the prince want to “dance" with me? The moment he touches me, I feel desire like I’ve never imagined. And I can tell he feels the same. I’m not sure this is the sort of dance I had in mind. We’re drawn together by magic—but can magic forge the bonds of true love?

And if it did…would be stepmother ever let me find happiness? My goblin godmother isn’t the only one with plans. It seems my stepmother is willing to lie, steal, and even kill to keep me from a happily ever after. But goblins are known for making trouble, and I’m ready for revenge.

The Goblin Cinderella is a standalone fairy tale retelling for those who like an unabashedly adorable happily ever after with a side of serious steaminess! (And a cameo or two by Beauty and her Goblin King!)

220 pages steamy romance novel with a HEA. No Cliffhanger!

When newly hired editor's assistant, Tanya Lacey, reaches out to the unknown author of a steamy new erotic romance novel, she’s stunned to learn that the author is not only a man, but also a handsome billionaire.

Wealthy CEO, Erik Sanders, has a secret. Whenever he’s not managing his billion-dollar business, he writes erotic romance novels, but it's not until he meets the charmingly innocent Tanya that he finds out what inspiration truly means. Soon, she becomes his muse, but is it enough? Will work and aspiration come in way of true happiness?

Need some unrelenting action in a high fantasy wasteland world? How about a story that's been compared to Mad Max, Diehard, and Stephen King's Gunslinger? Welcome to The Wizard Killer.

A magical world, once at the height of technology, has crashed and burned. Levitating cars lay abandoned, floating cities lie in ruin, and the tyrant Wizards who ruled with iron fists are nowhere to be seen.

Awakening from the dead for the third time is a man with scrambled memories, driven at first by one desire: revenge. As he ventures through the terrifying wasteland with his mana-pistol and enchanted short-sword, a past starts creeping into his mind, but is it his?

Written in first person, present tense, The Wizard Killer is a pulse-pounding thrill ride in the format of a binge-worthy TV show. You'll find yourself tearing through the book in no time and snatching up the next season.

"...imaginative and compelling series that is quite difficult to stop reading. Dreece knows exactly how to build and then neatly tie up each episode, while leaving the reader wanting more.... highly recommended."
