Rights to develop Wild Cards for TV have been acquired by Universal Cable Productions, the team that brought you The Magicians and Mr. Robot, with the co-editor of Wild Cards, Melinda Snodgrass as executive producer. Pursued by the CIA, the DEA, and the Wild Card mistress of the winds, Mistral, renegade biochemist Mark Meadows uses the three personalities buried in his psyche to outwit his pursuers. Fleeing across Europe and Asia, Mark meets a Vietnam veteran with an astounding plan—to lead an army of jokers in a war of conquest. Caught between jokers who despise him and nationalists who want him dead, Mark must decide whether to unleash his ace powers for a madman’s bloody dream, or to stay true to his peaceful ideals—and die.

R. Martin. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Dylan Allen continues the Rivers Wilde series with a neighbors-to-lovers second-chance romance. A billionaire with family secrets looking for a fresh start. A reformed jewel thief. And a choice that changes everything. Leo has two priorities: putting down new roots and making up for his mistakes. He doesn’t have time for a blind date with his new neighbor. Until he finds out she’s the woman he let slip away…but never forgot. Cassie has finally paid her debts and is living the life she’s always wanted. Her new neighbor sounds like he could be Mr. Right. Only, he turns out to be the man who promised her the world then disappeared without a trace. In another time and another place, he was a playboy who made her believe in miracles. Now, he’s a danger to everything she’s worked hard for. He wants to pick up where they left off. She wants to keep her distance. But when they’re together, their chemistry is undeniable. The heat between them burns hot and fast. Until a secret whips up a fire that threatens to engulf them all. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story.
