A second chance at first love...

Five years ago, Kat Harper fell into a dizzying summer romance with her brother's best friend Bryan. It was a mad, crazy love full of kisses all through the night -- but he broke her heart and she had to move on. Five years later, Kat is finishing her graduate degree and building her business as a jewelry designer, when Bryan, head of his own successful company, walks back into her life. Bryan has been assigned to Kat as her new business mentor and the rules are clear. No hanky panky permitted. Kat can handle that because she's totally over him... right? Except, he still makes her laugh, and he remembers all the things she likes. Not to mention that he's even more handsome now than he was then. Then there's the spark between them -- the simply undeniable chemistry, and the tender ways he shows he still cares for her. Can they resist each other the second time around or will first love trump all?

After surviving a traumatic attack as a teenager, as well as a disastrous first marriage, Lauren Taylor Grant is content with her life. So what if she gets lonely from time to time? With a healthy, beautiful daughter, and a successful coffee shop-cafe, the divorced single mother convinces herself she doesn’t have time for love. When she gets her first glimpse at her parents’ handsome new neighbor, though, she starts reconsidering her stance. Once Charlie Clark begins breaking through her defensive walls, Lauren finds him hard to resist.

Just as Lauren is learning to let go of the past and embrace the future, her personal demons rear their ugly heads in the guise of a vandal hell-bent on destroying Lauren’s happiness. When another local businesswoman is brutally murdered, the investigation into the crime reveals an unexpected connection to Lauren’s past. The message is clear--the past has come calling, and it’s out for blood.

You are Zeb Carter, a deep black, special-ops agent based in New York. You work for a U.S. agency that doesn’t exist.

You hunt terrorists, eliminate gangsters and wipe out threats to national security. You are ex-Special Forces and have a carefully constructed past. No one really knows you. No one needs to. You deal in death.

You have never turned down a mission. You have never failed one.

You are in the Democratic Republic of Congo to track down rogue mercenaries linked to the agency. They are killers, suspected of training rebel forces who are planning a coup.

Locate. Observe. Record. Do not engage.

That’s your mission brief.

You travel in the Congo and come across their trail of violence and death. You make your dossier and as you are preparing to leave, you come to a village.

You witness an atrocity of such magnitude that even your seen-everything-before eyes are shocked.

But the mission comes first.

Or does it?

Gemologist, Sapphire King, is a hunted woman. The hunter is Ethan Quinn, a special forces sergeant turned mercenary - and her ex. Saph stole the famous Florentine diamond from her jeweler client, Stefano, to prove its authenticity and save her father's reputation. After her dad claimed he'd seen it in Europe, his peers savaged him when the diamond's shady owner refused to reveal it. Now the diamond has reappeared in Stefano's hands, and Saph has the chance to prove them wrong.

But Stefano wants it back. Who better to find a woman than the man who knows her best? A man who can't stop thinking about the woman he dumped because she wanted more than he could give. When Ethan catches up to Saph in outback Australia, their reunion is tempestuous, fueled by hurt, anger, and a passion neither has been able to put behind them.

It soon becomes clear they have another enemy on their tail. One who not only wants the Florentine, but Saph too. And he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
 

"I was murdered on Christmas Eve, but I didn’t stay dead. I was resurrected fully on New Year’s Day, but my memory of the past three years was a void. What happened in those three years is something I do not want to confront."

With that gaping hole in his memory, Detective Sergeant Martin Money tries to rebuild his life. But he has alienated everyone who ever cared for him - everyone that is, except those claiming to be his friends; people of whom he has no memory.

People he does not trust.

If they would be friends with the forgotten man he became, he does not want to know them now.

With no personal life to speak of, Martin concentrates on his career, although the only person willing to take a chance on him now is Detective Inspector Cupinda Rowe, a one-time student of Mark’s, and now head of the missing persons unit.

Yet, even as he tries to put it all behind him, the case of a runaway teen drags him back into the life he cannot dodge, and the connections he made during his time as a violent, corrupt officer, may just hold the information he needs to find this young man, and complete his redemption.

A story of hopelessness into hope, Three Years Dead takes Martin Money back into a hell that no one wants him to recall.

In Eoriel, the High Kings are legend: rulers who once stood against the darkness and ruled the world for two thousand turns of peace and prosperity. In the long turns since their fall during the Sundering, Eoriel’s civilization has faded. Dark men and darker beings have torn down and destroyed the old works. While some have held out against the grind of history, other places have been reduced to primitive tribes of savages, worshiping dark spirits and demons as their gods.

Yet a spark of hope remains. Some still believe in the old legends, some still fight to restore the old ways, and some will stand against the darkness, in an echo of the High Kings.

Living among the elves on the Plains of Glasslyn has yet to be an issue, as well. Even touring normal places like Paris, London, Tokyo, and the Amazon Rainforest isn’t difficult.

But traveling through her imagination isn’t just fun and games—it has consequences. Following a battle on the planet Cyeor, she’s visited by a guy who’s unimagined. He warns her to stop using her gift or they will find her. Kearly doesn’t heed the messenger’s advice and soon wishes she had. When the messenger finds her again, he transports her to the M.I.N.D., a corporation which specializes in “healing the psyche.” Once she’s inside the M.I.N.D.’s doors, however, Kearly realizes escaping is nearly impossible.

Now, she must figure out the M.I.N.D.’s true intent, try not to fall for the irritating-yet-handsome messenger, and find a way to outsmart the organization before they stop her from ever imagining again.

In the city they call Punktown, on a planet where a hundred sentient species collide, you can become a creator of clones. You can become a piece of performance art. You might even become a library of sorrows...

 

Lucy O'Neill is a plain-Jane New York PR assistant with a tiny apartment, a dead-end job, and a pair of annoyingly perfect roommates. Nothing exciting ever happens to her, until one night at a neighborhood pub . . .

Lewis Mephisto is tall, handsome, and hot. Very hot. He meets her gaze through the crowd, a wicked grin on his lips, an irresistible invitation in his eyes.

It's one minute after the Big One. Marty Slack, a TV network executive, crawls out from under his Mercedes, parked outside what once was a downtown Los Angeles warehouse, the location for a new TV show. Downtown LA is in ruins. The sky is thick with black smoke. His cell phone is dead. The freeways are rubble. The airport is demolished. Buildings lay across streets like fallen trees. It will be days before help can arrive.

Marty has been expecting this day all his life. He's prepared. In his car are a pair of sturdy walking shoes and a backpack of food, water, and supplies. He knows there is only one thing he can do ... that he must do: get home to his wife Beth, go back to their gated community on the far edge of the San Fernando Valley.

All he has to do is walk. But he will quickly learn that it's not that easy. His dangerous, unpredictable journey home will take him through the different worlds of what was once Los Angeles. Wildfires rage out of control. Flood waters burst through collapsed dams. Natural gas explosions consume neighborhoods. Sinkholes swallow entire buildings. After-shocks rip apart the ground. Looters rampage through the streets.

There's no power. No running water. No order.

Marty Slack thinks he's prepared. He's wrong. Nothing can prepare him for this ordeal, a quest for his family and for his soul, a journey that will test the limits of his endurance and his humanity, a trek from the man he was to the man he can be ... if he can survive The Walk.

A new adult romance from Entangled’s Embrace imprint…

Love burns hotter the second time around…

Two years ago, the medical world was shaken by scandal, and Payton Daniels's family was at the center of it. The second she graduated, Payton left everything behind―her high school sweetheart, her family, and the controversy surrounding her mother's death—and hid within the anonymity of college. But Payton’s ex, Blake Hiller, hasn't forgiven her for leaving, and when he enrolls in the same medical ethics class, she panics. She can’t run the risk of him telling everyone who she really is.

As if being at the same university isn’t enough, both Blake and Payton land the same internship. Forced together, their passion for each other reignites, but when Payton is asked to testify in her father’s high-profile trial, she must choose between risking her acceptance into medical school to help her father, and losing every connection to her past—including the only guy she’s ever loved.

“I’m watching a girl across the room who seems to be trying to catch the eye of the guy sitting next to her as he eats his dinner.
I don’t know.
I’m bored I guess.”

Actually sort of a story that may have happened.

Steve tells people he's a writer. He tells them that he is part of a new movement called the Punklits. In truth he is just a bored student who lives life as many other students do. He smokes too much. Fucks too much. Takes too much powder. The boredom of life lurks around every corner and he is doing everything he can to fight it off.

But when an old friend of his is suspected of murder, Steve thinks he might just have found a way to write his way out of where he lives. He may also have just stumbled on to the key to knowing why he feels like a monster.

In the vein of Bret Easton Ellis by way of William S. Burroughs, Don’t Look the Batards in the Eye asks what is a monster and would you know one if you were it. Sex, drugs, rock, death, and a man who can’t eat turkey properly await in the pages of this book.

Now calling himself the Exemplar, he’s declared himself the world’s first superhero, out to prove those who doubted him wrong. But his arrogance far supersedes his good intentions! Can Vanguard overcome their internal strife in order to face their first threat?
