There’s no woman I can’t conquer.

Hundreds of eager women are in the shared black ledger the football players of the Jupiter Suns call The Playbook. But there’s only one that I want. The one marked untouchable.

Women fall to my feet as soon as I turn on the Jacob Maddox charm, and yet my new teammates don’t think I can get one woman into my bed? Pfft, they don’t know who they are dealing with.

The Playbook says she’s unconquerable, unobtainable, and off limits, but I’ve never shied away from a challenge before, and I’m not going to start now. One look will be all it takes for her to open up her legs. Lucia will be mine for a night, then forgotten about for the rest of the season. I’ll collect my winnings and concentrate on what really matters: getting my number one spot back!

But as soon as I get one addictive taste of Lucia Cortes the plan goes to shit… she’s a game changer. The play is busted and I’m scrambling to keep it together.

I can’t sleep, I can’t eat… I can barely breathe without her. She’s slipping through my fingers and it only gets worse when I find out who she really is!

I don’t have a chance in hell of keeping her, but I’ll risk everything to make her mine.

The Playbook is a new, full-length (70k+) romance novel with a HEA.

Rivals in everything, until they're forced to share the most precious thing of all … her.

Business. Money. Women. Bennett McCardiff and Sam Baines compete over anything and everything. At The Orchid Room, an exclusive pleasure club where they’re both members, their rivalry is well known and little tolerated. When they nearly come to blows over the same redhead up on the auction block, the proprietors issue them an ultimatum:

Share her for a month, or lose their club privileges forever.

Lila Emery is drowning in family medical bills and the auction at The Orchid Room seems too good to be true. A month with a wealthy patron, and the chance to walk away with a stack of cash? Bring it on.

That is, until she comes up against Sam and Bennett. Two men who can’t seem to agree on anything … except how much they want her.

But when the three of them are together, something sparks. Something none of them saw coming. Something wrong … yet oh so right.

It can't last though ... because Lila has a secret. The real reason she was at Orchid that night. And once Bennett and Sam uncover the truth, things may never be the same.

Bought By Two is a high heat MMF bisexual romance with scenes of MF, MM, MFM and MMF. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after, of course!

Hunter Ross, part owner of Eye Candy Handyman, is required to work without his shirt but keep his hands to himself. He thinks his next remodel is going to be like every other before, but Cybill, a newly single blonde bombshell and his newest client has other plans.

DON’T SLEEP WITH THE CLIENTS—it’s an unwritten rule and one Hunter is more than happy to break.

Warning: If you’re looking for something hot and dirty short read, Falon & Nix Stone are about to deliver. Spread Wide is a steamy short story, filled with passion, heat, and lots of play. It’s an over-the-top insta-love tale that will leave you panting for more.

Political propaganda would have us believe vampires are our friends. Fanged teddy bears misunderstood thanks to archaic lore. Activists picket for them to be welcomed into our society.

They claim vamps don't kill.
They preach we are safe.
They ... are dead wrong.

One year ago a hive slaughtered my family and left me for dead. Found by a team of scientists with their own agenda, I was forged into an unstoppable weapon.

I possess their strength, with none of their weaknesses.
I can move among them free from their crippling hunger.
I am their greatest threat.

Armed with this arsenal, vengeance will feed my desire to penetrate the seedy underbelly of their fetishized lifestyle and expose them for the monsters they truly are.

Volumes 7-9 of the EDGAR AWARD-WINNING murder mystery series are now available at an award-winning price!

Seasoned New Orleans detective Skip Langdon is at the top of her game as she tracks down a serial killer, navigates deadly family secrets, and delves deep into the mastermind of a psychopath unlike any you've ever encountered. The goddess-sized cop is up to her shoulder-holster in gritty, action-packed subplots and story twists, as the psychopath threatens those Skip loves.

Fans of Ace Atkins, Tana French, Sue Grafton, and Marcia Muller will love Skip Langdon’s pluck and charm!

CRESCENT CITY CONNECTION

Sure, New Orleans is known for corruption, but suddenly the good guys get a break—an honest police chief. And then someone guns him down. When a terrifying organization called The Jury takes out the cop-killer, Detective Skip Langdon’s on the case. But no one cares! After all, the guy was a cop-killer.

Skip cares really a lot—because she suspects The Jury’s the brainchild of her old nemesis, self-described preacher Errol Jacomine. And because other lives are at stake—those of Jacomine's granddaughter Lovelace and his younger son Isaac. Eager to add Lovelace to his maniacal fold, Jacomine has Lovelace kidnapped. And Langdon comes up with a plan so clever even the FBI can’t shout her down.

82 DESIRE

It seems Councilwoman Bebe Fortier has misplaced her equally prominent husband, United Oil VP Russell Fortier. Across town, part-time detective/poet Talba Wallis has a simple wish--to find out what Russell Fortier's disappearance has to do with her. But the private investigator who hired her to spy on Fortier can't help her out. He's lying in his office with a bullet in his chest. Reporter Jane Storey is walking down the same mean, sultry street—she's on the brink of the biggest story of her life. But she's got a bad feeling she's being played like a deck of cards by a tipster with a malevolent agenda.

Now Orleans Police Detective Skip Langdon soon senses something big starting to unfold, something a lot bigger than a missing husband. Something rooted in corruption, resulting in violence—and motivated by that old demon . . . desire.

MEAN WOMAN BLUES

The Rev. Errol Jacomine is crazy as a fox and more dangerous than a cell full of serial killers. He's trying to off Detective Skip Langdon, the New Orleans cop who’s twice smashed his criminal endeavors, yet each time he’s managed to slip away. Now he’s mad. In both senses of the word. And he has the connections to have her killed—or worse, those she loves.

Despite finding herself disgraced in her own home town (seems Jacomine knows how to frame as well as kill), she goes on the hunt for the kind of maniac with a gift for conning people and the extreme makeover to make it work.

With thrillers such as 'The 39 Steps' and 'Greenmantle' John Buchan was the greatest adventure writer of the First World War.

But he was also one of the most accomplished historians of the conflict.

Vivid and authoritative, John Buchan's masterly history of the First World War was written while the war was still in progress.

While admirably cool in tone, it has the immediacy of fine journalism. Its briskly moving narrative charts the progress of the war in all the main theaters of action, including what must surely be the very first history of war in the air.

The military historian Victor Neuburg has abridged the work into a single volume, selecting key passages of the original to build up a panoramic view of the war as it unfolded, concentrating on the Western Front.

While John Buchan's novels of the First World War, such as ‘Greenmantle’, have continued to be read, his history of the war has been unfairly neglected. It ranks among his finest achievements, and remains one of the clearest and best accounts we have of the world-shaking conflict of 1914-18.

John Buchan was a Scottish novelist, historian and Unionist politician who also served as Governor General of Canada. He is most famous for his classic thriller, 'The 39 Steps'.

Coventina Hollow is doomed to darkness. And so is Everly…

Abandoned by her family on the shores of Avalon—the heart of Coventina Hollow—Everly is an unwanted fosterling in a legendary coven afraid because of her natural magic.

When a fiery streak across the sky signals the arrival of the chosen one—a child who can bring light back to a shadowed world where Fae, human, and witch alike have learned to live in darkness—Everly’s life goes from bad to worse.

Now her coven has the opportunity to rid themselves of her and test the veracity of the prophecy all at once. But even if she can survive the kraken that protects the isle from rest of the hollow, she’ll still need to travel through the most dangerous territories of Coventina to find the chosen one.

What she finds in the human realm, however, will make even the darkness seem pale.

COVEN KEEPERS is a standalone contribution to the Charmed Legacy Dark Fae Hollows collection. Stories can be read in any order.
 

I have a new shepherd now.

I didn’t choose to fall for Aldous Occestem. The most hated man in Coventry, he antagonizes the town’s beloved megachurch at every opportunity; he operates a notorious, satanic-themed BDSM club; and now he’s a suspect in the abduction of my friend, as well as several other missing women. He should repulse me, but I can’t resist the way he makes me feel.

He leads me into temptation.

Handsome, dominant and sadistic, he ignites my intense hunger for submission. He doesn’t know I’m a private detective, investigating the case on my own. Our relationship started as a cover, but now I’m addicted to his world of carnal sin. Even if he’s not the kidnapper, his one-man war with the powerful Pastor Jones is a powder keg ready to explode, and I’ll be the one caught in the crossfire.

I fear no evil, for he is with me.

I should get out while I still can, but the deeper I dig into his life, the more I need him in mine. He knows how to soothe the pain from my past. He longs to own me, and I yearn to be his.

Something sinister is happening in Coventry. Innocent or guilty, Aldous is at its center. I won’t stop until I know the truth, even if it makes me the target of an unspeakable evil...

Publisher’s note: “Exalted” is a dark, romantic thriller with explicit sexual content, including BDSM practices. HEA guaranteed — no cliffhangers, no cheating! Contains material some may find disturbing. Reader discretion is advised.

The Apocalypse has come – and it has left the World in ruins…

‘A smashing writer who really knows how to weave a tale…’ Booksellers’ Choice

Following the terror of the Apocalypse, life in the community of Tugaim, Ireland is simple – but controlled.

Families eke out their meagre livings from the blasted earth, carefully avoiding the forbidden patches of land that still shine with eerie light…

Joanna Grady is happy in this community, and has even met Flynn, whom she loves and hopes to be matched to. They dream of Ancient Ireland, a land of magic, royalty and terrible foes.

But bloodlines are carefully examined, and matches between families are only made to promote healthy breeding – preventing Mutant spawn.

Suddenly, Joanna’s father breaks the news that she has been matched to Muldooney, a pig farmer. She is devastated, but can’t fight what is happening.

She cannot bear it.

She flees – into the forbidden place, the Glowing Lands. But little does she know that the Forbidden Lands contain a rip in the Time Curtain, a portal to the past – to Ancient Ireland.

Now Joanna finds herself swept up in the life and myth of Cormac mac Airt, the Wolfking, as he fights to regain his throne and justice to ancient Tara.

Will Flynn pursue her through the Time Curtain?

Can they fight to restore right to Tara?

Wolfking is an epic fantasy adventure and the first of a gripping quartet of novels that invoke Celtic tones of Ancient Ireland. Join with Joanna as she learns of her ancient heritage to fight against evil and tyranny and bring balance and honor back to Ancient Ireland. It was originally published under the pen name Bridget Wood.

Ten years ago, four people were brutally murdered. One girl lived.

No one believes her story.
The police think she’s crazy.
Her therapist thinks she’s suicidal.
Everyone else thinks she’s a dangerous drunk.
They’re all right—but did she see the killer?

As the anniversary of the murders approaches, Faith Winters is released from the psychiatric hospital and yanked back to the last spot on earth she wants to be—her hometown where the slayings took place. Wracked by the lingering echoes of survivor’s guilt, Faith spirals into a black hole of alcoholism and wanton self-destruction. Finding no solace at the bottom of a bottle, Faith decides to track down her sister’s killer—and then discovers that she’s the one being hunted.

How can one woman uncover the truth when everyone’s a suspect—including herself?

From the mind of Wall Street Journal bestselling author Christopher Greyson comes a story with twists and turns that take the reader to the edge of madness. The Girl Who Lived should come with a warning label: Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop. Not since Girl on the Train and Gone Girl has a psychological thriller kept readers so addicted—and guessing right until the last page.

170+ rave reviews for this story about the intertwining lives of unlikely members.

Praise for Lamb to the Slaughter, book one of Serenity’s Plain Secrets: “A well-crafted tale of murder begotten by the collision two incompatible worlds…” –Kirkus Review

Just when Sheriff Serenity Adams thinks life is getting back to normal, the death of a young, pregnant Amish woman rocks the community. Is it circumstance…or murder? It’s up to Serenity and her ex-Amish boyfriend, Daniel Bachman, to discover the truth about the new shaman-type medicine man who’s brought his dark secrets to Blood Rock.

But Serenity has secrets of her own, and if she and Daniel don’t work it out, the reappearance of a woman from his past could threaten to ruin their relationship.

The deeper Serenity delves into the magical world of Amish herbal medicine, the phenomenon of laying of the hands and other cultural healing oddities, the more she wonders if miracles are real. What she witnesses with her own eyes may be too fantastical for her to believe.

In this riveting third installment of Serenity’s Plain Secrets, beliefs are challenged, a way of life is questioned and family skeletons are unearthed, leaving no one untouched.

A billionaire made an app that matches people with their soulmates.
Too bad it paired his childhood sweetheart with his worst enemy.

Lilette's growth from never wanting to use her spells again and coming back to who she tugs on my heartstrings.

Witch Rising is a great prequel and beautifully written." ~Cherie Reich, author of Reborn

Once upon a time a beauty fell for two beasts.
Elle
When I leave my old life behind to meet a writing deadline, I don't expect my cabin in the woods to collapse around me.
But it does.
Two men save me.
Two perfect beasts who want to share me.
My fairy tale begins and their ends.
I fall for two men I'm about to betray.

Author's Notes:
- A modern, steamy MFM take on the classic fairy tale.
- Two Beasts Next Door is a fast-paced, standalone MFM menage romance with a happily ever after ending. There are no M/M scenes. This story is all about two beasts who fall for the same woman. Bonus material included for a limited time.

‘The greatest novel of war in the air.’ - The Daily Mail

France, 1914.

The war on the land is taking to the skies.

Pilot Tom Cundall is ready to take on the enemy in his trusty Camel fighter plane.

But as he sees more and more planes shot down in flames, he begins to question the war, and what, or who, he is fighting for.

There is no bitter snarl nor self-pity in this classic novel about the air war of 1914-1918, based very largely on the author’s experiences.

Combat, loneliness, fatigue, fear, comradeship, women, excitement — they all are part of a brilliantly told story of war and courage by one of the most valiant pilots of the then Royal Flying Corps.

‘Beautifully written with a poet’s eye as well as a pilot’s eye.’ - Evening Echo.

‘The only book about flying that isn’t flannel.’ - Anonymous Fighter Pilot, 1941

‘Not only one of the best war books … but as a transcription of reality, faithful and sustained in its author’s purpose of re-creating the past life he knew, it is unique.’ -Henry Williamson, author of Tarka the Otter.

Victor Maslin Yeates (30 September 1897 — 15 December 1934), often abbreviated to V. M. Yeates, was a British fighter pilot in World War I, who wrote what is widely regarded as one of the most realistic and moving accounts of aerial combat and the futility of war.

SHE WILL HAVE HER REVENGE…

Behind the bloody walls of the palace, Samarkand’s ruthless new ruler, the great Khan, controls the city with force and depravity.

His sons, each one more foul than the next, support him: the swaggering Khalkali, the drug-addicted Mufiqua, the deformed Tupol. But each son would prefer to rule in the Khan's place.

Treachery, deceit and lechery are rife within the palace.

And far below, deep within the catacombs, a shrouded figure plans to use that dissension for the downfall of nine men. It is the Princess Sharon, once heir to the throne.

She has been transformed by the Khan’s cruelty into an avenging angel. And she has also been transformed, by the hidden secrets of the hill tribesmen, into a devil sorceress.

The princess will have her revenge.

None will stand in her way…
