Book Description

The last thing Maldynado Montichelu—former aristocrat and current ladies' man—ever wanted was to be left in charge. After all, the team just blew up a train, crashed a dirigible, and kidnapped the emperor. It's kind of an important time. But, with Amaranthe captured by the nefarious Forge coalition, and Sicarius off to find her, the team is lacking in leaders. Also, Sicarius has made it clear that Maldynado’s life may be forfeit should anything happen to the emperor while he’s gone. To make matters worse, Forge’s cutthroats are after Sespian, and the young emperor believes Maldynado's loyalties are suspect. As if it’s his fault that his older brother is working with the coalition to usurp the throne. If Maldynado can’t figure out how to earn the emperor’s trust quickly, Sespian will go off to confront their powerful enemies on his own. Meanwhile, Amaranthe must find a way to escape from the coalition’s newest ally, Master Interrogator Pike, a man who plans to pull all of the secrets from her head, one way or another… Blood and Betrayal is the fifth book in The Emperor's Edge fantasy series.

Book Description

With the Marriage Law set to go into effect, Freya, Adrya, and Embyrlyn must take their destinies in their own hands...unless they want to lose their freedom to someone they could never love. Then again, fate is always deliciously cruel and serves irony. Freya is tired of being weak and pathetic. The people are her are dying, and she's determined to get strong so she can protect them. But when it's implied she could be responsible for their deaths through the use of a dark magic she can't control, she realizes the only danger to others could be herself. And when Kent is made her Protector, she isn't sure she'll be able to control her mouth, let alone her magic, because of how much he infuriates her. Adrya has always known Matthyw has a reputation. However, the last thing she expects us for her father to condemn her to a public bedding ceremony to ensure the legitimacy of their forced marriage. Matthyw refuses to share her with anyone else, let alone allow spectators to watch him rut in her like a sport, but if she wants to save her reputation and marry Matthyw, she doesn't have much of a choice. After the full moon ceremony, Embyrlyn is ready to start the mission...until the mark Kazu left on her neck during their one night of passion starts affecting her. The last thing she expects is to be told she belongs to him. How will she accomplish the mission of seducing a Light Bringer if she's bound to a possessive wolf who still hates her despite everything that happened between them? And does she even want to? Fans of sensual slow burns, unapologetically savage alpha male shifters who will set the world on fire for irresistibly fierce and stubborn heroines, and forbidden age gap romance with forced proximity and arranged marriages will devour this new dark paranormal fantasy romance long into the night by a debut author.

Book Description

The true story of the horrific murder of a mother and daughter in rural Alabama—and the cop who wouldn’t rest until she closed the case . . . Includes photos. “The worst I've ever seen”—that’s how Sheriff Cecil Reed described the July 7, 1995 slayings of Carolyn Headrick, forty-four, and her mother Dora Ann Dalton, sixty-two. The two were found in their home in rural DeKalb County, Alabama, where they’d been shot, stabbed, and even speared by a Native American-style lance. Randy Headrick, Carolyn’s husband, was the beneficiary of $325,000 in insurance money. But he swore he’d been at work when the murders were committed—and the police couldn’t break his alibi. Headrick was a troublemaker who’d spent four years in a Texas prison for possession of a pipe bomb. More recently, he’d had an affair with a married woman—which his second wife, Carolyn, had discovered. The woman had later been harassed and her house had mysteriously burned down. The police knew Headrick was bad news, but they just couldn’t nail him on these murders. There was only one person who knew for sure if Headrick was the killer . . .

Book Description

Saxson Olaru is one of the select, the few, the elite... As a ruthless sentinel sworn to protect the ancient Vampyr king and the house of Jadon, he has “HOJ” literally inscribed on his heart: a heart that was tragically broken centuries earlier, when human hunters slayed his mother and Dark Ones murdered his father. Having survived the unthinkable, he never dreamed he would come this close to another human predator, let alone a female pretending to be his destiny. Kiera and Kyla Sparrow are twin sisters: humans, living very different lives. While Kiera is selfless, clever, and talented, Kyla is dark, duplicitous, and damaged—she belongs to a secret society of vampire-hunters, and she has sworn to destroy as many as she can. When Saxson’s Blood Moon appears in a February sky, and the matching constellation, Cetus the Sea Monster, appears on Kiera’s wrist, Kyla knows exactly what it means: The celestial gods have chosen her beautiful sister to be the eternal mate of an immortal vampire—she just doesn’t know which one. And it really doesn’t matter. If Kyla can recreate the sacred emblem on her own inner wrist, she can take Kiera’s place and commit the ultimate Blood Betrayal. When duty, obedience, and honor clash with a deep, gnawing intuition, an honor-bound warrior will be forced to choose between allegiance to the house he loves and the quiet voice within, whispering: “Warning!” One wrong move. One wrong choice. And all will be lost forever.

Book Description

Their bloodline is a dangerous mystery. Their secret is a shocking truth. There's something strange about the small, mountain town of Artisan, Arkansas. When hematologist Dr. Carl Martin is called into a Little Rock emergency room, not even his expertise can save Benjamin Rasco from bleeding to death. But why did the man die? His condition shouldn't have been fatal. And no one should have such bizarre red blood cells. Hoping to uncover a reason for the medical mystery, Carl travels to Rasco's hometown, an isolated, religious community nestled deep in the Arkansas Mountains. Instead of answers, however, Carl's faced with more questions--and a mysterious woman who stows away in his car. Sheltered Beth Corbin only wants to see the world for a few days before returning to Artisan, where the town leaders discourage mixing with the outside world. But after talking with Carl, Beth becomes increasingly distrustful of those leaders, and the suspicions she's been harboring about the town become too intense to ignore. Together, Carl and Beth uncover an astounding medical conspiracy that not only affects all the residents of Artisan, but shatters every belief Carl ever held about himself.
