BACK OF THE BOOK

He wanted his property back…

Amanda Jackson had succumbed to the fact that she’d been a captive. That she’d involuntarily fallen victim to an underground market of despicable men. To protect herself, she was willing to try anything; even attempting to convince her captor that he loved her. That plan backfired.
Connor Brooks didn’t show emotions with his captives. Bring them in, get them out, collect the cash, and repeat the process. Amanda, however, was different. He found himself growing attached to her. Possessive. When another man stole him from her, Connor was determined to get her back. By any means necessary.

Malcolm Luxx was used to dealing with shady business practices. He ran one of his own in the art world. He drew the line at Connor’s business. When he discovered one of the women he’d taken was his high school crush, he swooped in and saved her. Or so he thought.
Will the safehouse Malcolm has across the country be far enough to keep Connor and his goons from finding Amanda? Or by taking Amanda, has Malcolm just signed both of their death certificates?

He wanted his property back. And he’d get her even in The Safehouse.

BACK OF THE BOOK

As a rescue swimmer for the U.S. Coast Guard, Reid Kruetz has a healthy respect for the ocean and  its dangers, but conducting search and rescue operations in heavy seas is just another Tuesday.

That is, until two high-profile cases bring him to Haven Cove, Maine, a small coastal town known for  its vicious mermaids. While on a case, the crew he’s meant to rescue is yanked into the deep, never  to resurface again, and he’s brought face-to-face with an amber-eyed mermaid, her lips red with  blood. But there’s more to her than stunning, deadly beauty, and she leaves him alive with a message he can’t ignore: her kind are being hunted to extinction.

Nireed and her merfolk kin are fighting for survival. While recovering from the brain virus that ripped apart their community, a new threat dwindles their numbers. A nefarious group of fishermen are targeting their kind, using their favorite delicacy to lure them in. Dead or alive, she will not be captured. Not ever again. And yet, if she’s to protect her own people without destroying the tenuous peace between merfolk and humankind, she will have to learn to work with the infuriatingly handsome human who tried to save her enemies. But it soon becomes clear that there’s another threat to her life at sea, and it isn’t any net, but the surface-dweller seeking to ensnare her heart.

BACK OF THE BOOK

There’s only one thing Bridget Adams wants: to get home.

After being trapped for seven months in the Kingdom of Elyria, where magic is ruthless, permanent, and always comes with a price, she’s tired of dealing with curses, especially ones that take everything from her. In Elyria, all humans are cursed. Whenever one enters the magical realm, they lose their memories. Forever.

The only things Bridget knows about her past are the small tidbits Cora tells her, which isn’t much. The leader of the nomadic Witch coven is merciless, and with Bridget essentially owned by Cora, she always keeps Bridget by her side. No matter how many times Bridget tries to escape her grasp, she always fails.

In the name of helping the coven, Cora places her in a tournament to compete to marry the Fae Prince, Cade. Believing her freedom is in sight, Bridget agrees to join and plans to sneak away before it starts. However, an unexpected binding contract restricts her to the palace grounds. Forced to participate, Bridget navigates the dangerous tasks of the tournament, until she accidentally stumbles upon the prince. Cade has secrets of his own, though, including ones that involve the human realm, and when he offers to help Bridget return there, she decides to trust him.

As they grow closer, it becomes clear things aren’t as they appear. She discovers her presence in Elyria and the tournament is part of a greater plan, one that has deadly consequences. As secrets, history, and conspiracies unravel around her, Bridget begins to realize the greatest curse of all: love.

BACK OF THE BOOK

The street in Gealblath, Scotland, was the same as it had been every day. None of the players had changed. None of the scenery. It was like a painting on a wall. 

And there, where the path began to dip, the school bus arrived at the place it normally arrived. It would be there for two minutes only, and so Charlie began to jog. He spotted his friend sitting near the rear window and an empty seat beside him. 

The fact there remained an empty seat soon became a fact that haunted the town he lived in.’

***

It was on a foggy day in 1988 that Charlie Cooper made his way to the school bus for the last time. 

Ten years have passed since then, and what remains is a town faded by missing person posters. An empty seat in the local police station. A father who has become an unwanted ghost, sipping cold ones in the corner of a woodland tavern. 

And, apart from that, there is a girl. Amee Florence is thirteen, with mousy grey hair and a cool, pale complexion. She’s starting here first day at school, but she’s nothing like the other children. There’s a secret behind her eyes that she keeps hidden. A secret that could help unfog that day in 1988, and reveal the real reason Charlie Cooper never came home.

When she commits a desperate act, she is turned out of the shelter, only to come face-to-face with her past.
