WIND RIVER LAWMAN
The Wind River Valley Series
Lindsay McKenna
Discover the true meaning of love and freedom in the American West with the Wind
River Valley series by New York Times bestselling author and U.S. Navy veteran Lindsay
McKenna. With her signature military heroes and a Western romance setting, this
distinguished author’s finest talents combine in this fifth installment of the engrossing
series that RT Book Reviews calls “a tribute to vets and a love letter to the wild beauty
of Wyoming.”
After serving as a Navy medic, Dawson Callahan is back in the States and ready to start over. Leaving his native Texas, he
heads for the wide-open spaces of Wyoming, where he finds work as a wrangler. True, he’ll mainly be wrangling chickens—
and wrangling Sarah Carter’s granny, who’s still spry, but in need of a little caregiving. But ranch work is ranch work, and it’s
hard to turn down a job offer from the beautiful Sheriff Carter—especially when she deputizes him as one of her lawmen.
Sarah loves her grandmother, but with her law enforcement career keeping her busy, they could both use some help from
a strong, steady man. And policing Lincoln County has only gotten tougher since a merciless drug lord arrived in the area.
When Sarah takes a bullet on the job, it’s Dawson who comes to her rescue—and though they both thought they left war
behind in Afghanistan, they’ll do whatever it takes to protect what’s theirs, even if it means facing down traumas they’ve
buried for years. Because love isn’t for the faint of heart…

Nancy Bush
New York Times bestselling author Nancy Bush keeps pushing the boundaries of thrillers
and suspense, blending gritty crime and romantic passion into one breathtaking plot.
Jealousy is the chilling story of three women—two sisters and their brother’s wife. One
them is a killer with a terrifying plan to get what she wants.
HATRED LEADS TO OBSESSION…

It’s taken time for the plan to unfold, years spent waiting, watching, hating…and after the first victim, the killing gets easier
and easier…
OBSESSION LEADS TO JEALOUSY…
The Crissmans, owners of Crissman & Wolfe department store, were once one of Portland’s most powerful families. There’s
still enough fortune left to sow mistrust between Lucy, her bohemian sister Layla, their brother Lyle, and his grasping wife
Kate. When a charity event at the Crissman Lodge ends in a fatal poisoning, Lucy becomes a prime suspect. But the truth is
even more twisted, and Lucy can’t be sure which of her family is being targeted…or who to fear.
AND JEALOUSY LEADS TO MURDER…
Renowned defense attorney Dallas Denton has been hired to clear Lucy’s name, unaware of the secret that ties them together
or of the deep cracks in the Crissman legacy. Someone is ready to eliminate every obstacle to get what they most covet, and
prove that envy runs deeper than blood…

THE HEIRESS HE’S BEEN
WAITING FOR
The Hamilton Cousins Series
Kaitlin O’Riley
In Victorian London, the Hamilton sisters are known for their bookshops—and for finding
their happily ever afters on their own terms. Now, much to their chagrin, their offspring are
following in their unconventional footsteps—in life and in love. In a lovingly crafted
spin-off of her popular Hamilton Sisters series, the next generation takes center stage
in a tale that just might prove money doesn’t buy happiness.
Raised in New York, shipping heiress Sara Fleming was ready to elope—until her disapproving parents tricked her onto a
boat heading to England. Her only consolation is getting to see her beloved aunts and cousins. Even the start of London’s
Season—and a strikingly handsome earl—can’t make her forget the man she left behind…
Considered one of London’s most eligible bachelors, Christopher Townsend, the Earl of Bridgeton, is not what he seems.
Having inherited his father’s crushing debt, he must choose a wealthy bride to save his family’s estate. Though rumored to
be penniless and committed to another, Sara takes his breath away—and makes him question what he truly needs to be
free of the past. But he’ll have to win the headstrong beauty’s heart one kiss at a time…

Timothy Brenneman works alongside Malinda’s brother, Sam, handcrafting the finest Amish furniture in St. Mary’s County.

Malinda close and soothe the sad yearning in her eyes. Sensing her unease at the mention of her doctor only confirms his
desire to protect her. Healing, however, is in Gott’s hands, and a hard lesson in the true meaning of love may soon bless
them both in ways they never imagined…

A NICE DAY FOR A COWBOY WEDDING
The Mile High Romance Series
Nicole Helm
Bestselling author Nicole Helm returns with the fourth installment in her down-to-earth,
warm-hearted and compelling Mile High Romance series. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains,
rugged Gracely, Colorado is famous for big-sky beauty and small-town community. It’s a
perfect place to take a deep breath, start again—and even plunge into the kind of love that
lasts a lifetime…
As the oldest of three brothers, Shane Tyler takes his responsibility to the family ranch seriously—and it’s clear to him that
the younger man now engaged to his widowed mother is only looking for a meal ticket. He’s determined to stop the nuptials
whatever it takes, but the shy wedding planner his mom hired is harder to intimidate than he expected.
Leaving her abusive ex and moving to Gracely with her young son was one of the hardest things Cora Preston ever did.
Accepting the position as wedding planner at brand-new Mile High Weddings took even more courage. But Cora’s biggest
challenge is turning out to be the bride’s handsome—and stubborn—oldest son, Shane, particularly the way the
strong-willed cowboy makes her feel.
Can the heat crackling between them warm two hearts suspicious of love?

SECRET AT PEBBLE CREEK
The Hope Chest of Dreams Series
Lisa Jones Baker
Inspirational author Lisa Jones Baker’s heartwarming Amish series continues as a new
generation inherits precious hand-carved chests that bring blessings of faith, love, and
happiness. While renovating a family home in Amish country, a city girl with an “Englisch”
life faces a tough choice testing the limits and strength of the faith she’s now realizing
she has…
When Jessica Beachy temporarily moves into the home of her late great uncle, Sam Beachy, she merely plans to remodel,
sell, and head back to the city. She’s used to busy St. Louis and can’t imagine spending her time in the quiet Amish countryside.
But the carpenter she hires, Eli Miller, doesn’t think selling Sam’s home is a good idea. And while he’s steadfast in his Amish
faith, he’s instantly drawn to Jessica’s vivacity and unexpected caring—especially as peaceful country ways make her
question the dream she thought she wanted…
But a lucrative offer to turn the house into a vacation retreat confronts Jessica with a heartbreaking choice. It will take trust,
perseverance—and discovering a hope chest thought forever lost—for Jessica and Eli to boldly face obstacles and embark
on a joyous future together…

LONDON’S WICKED AFFAIR
The Midnight Secrets Series
Anabelle Bryant
Popular historical romance author Anabelle Bryant makes her print debut with a wickedly
funny, sexy, and intriguing new Regency series about secrets and seduction. Because truly,
nothing good can come of what happens after Midnight…especially when one ends up in
a notorious Duke’s embrace…
Lunden Beckford, Duke of Scarsdale, exiled himself far from London, with its painful memories and cruel gossip. Forced back
to town on business, he’s eager to make his stay as brief as possible. But before he can leave the city in his past, he must
honor his promise to find a suitable husband for his friend’s little sister. On one hand, Amelia Strathmore has grown into a
stunning, statuesque beauty. On the other, the willful chit is more likely to scandalize a drawing room with her outspoken
opinions than blush prettily. At least she agrees to accept his help—if he fulfills certain conditions…
Though duty-bound to marry, Amelia longs to secretly enjoy some of life’s freedoms. In this, as in many things, Lunden proves
an excellent guide. In fact, Amelia’s girlhood admiration for her brother’s friend is fast becoming something far less innocent.
Lunden believes he’s known too much darkness to offer any woman happiness. Yet Amelia is discovering how much pleasure
lies within the right partnership—especially if one is willing to be a little wicked…
Anabelle Bryant holds a BA, MA and is ABD in earning her PhD in Education. She has studied at Rutgers College and Kean
University of New Jersey, and is an avid traveler. When not in front of a classroom she can be found in front of her laptop

HIDE AND SEEK
The Sisterhood Series
Fern Michaels
The New York Times and USA Today bestselling eighth installment in The Sisterhood series,
Hide and Seek, is now repackaged and reissued! The Sisterhood: a group of women from
all walks of life bound by friendship and a quest for justice. Armed with vast resources,
top-notch expertise, and a loyal network of allies around the globe, the Sisterhood will not
rest until every wrong is made right.
Payback has its price, and the Sisterhood’s last assignment almost landed them in jail. Now the women are fugitives with a
bounty on their heads, but they’re not planning on hiding out for long—not when good friends need the kind of help only they
can give.
Mitch Riley, the ruthless assistant director of the F.B.I., intends to frame Cornelia “Nellie” Easter, the judge who helped the
Sisterhood evade prison, and their lawyer, Lizzie Fox, in order to save his own career. He’s created a special task force to hunt
the Sisters down. Mitch has the entire F.B.I. behind him, but he’s about to discover that he’s no match for seven formidable
women with an unbreakable bond and a wickedly cunning plan to bring the fight right to his door…

FALLING FROM HIS GRACE
The Gentlemen of Temptation Series
Kristin Vayden
Popular author Kristin Vayden begins an exciting new Regency historical series set
against the seedy backdrop of a famous London Gaming Hall, a place where the upper
crust of society can safely indulge in sin. A place where anonymity is security—no
names, no faces, no strings. But that doesn’t mean no surprises…
Lucas Mayfield, the Eighth Earl of Heightford, couldn’t be more pleased with his new private club. But when a young
courtesan at the club’s masquerade appears far too innocent, his suspicions rise—along with his interest. That is, until her
gleaming hair tumbles down and he recognizes her as the Duke of Langston’s beautiful daughter. How did the minx even
know a place like this existed? And how did he allow himself to do something as foolish as kiss her? More perplexing: she
has vowed the kiss won’t be the last…
Liliah Durary’s father demanded she marry her best friend, Meyer, despite no romantic feeling existing between them. In
fact, Meyer and Liliah’s other best friend, Rebecca, are the ones truly in love. Liliah sees only one option: She and Meyer
must maintain a platonic marriage until other arrangements can be made. Still, she intends to experience pleasure before
being wed. An intriguing new club seems the perfect place—and when Lucas Mayfield kisses her, he seems the perfect
other arrangement she seeks. All Liliah has to do is convince him…

CATERED COSTUME PARTY
The Mystery With Recipes Series
Isis Crawford
When sisters Bernie and Libby Simmons agree to cater an extravagant Halloween party
in their small town in upstate New York, they figured a ghost or two and a blood curdling
scream might be part of the menu. But they never expected to be haunted by the deadly
specter of murder…
Darius Witherspoon won’t let anything get in the way of his catered costume party, even the disappearance of his wife,
Penelope. He may be heartbroken, but perhaps throwing a big shindig in her honor will boost his spirits. Where better to
hold his Halloween extravaganza than his stylish new co-op apartment at the Berkshire Arms—a place where the couple
dreamed of moving in together?
Despite preferring to avoid the festivities all together, Libby and Bernie are asked to provide the treats for Darius’ bash. As
far as they’re concerned, the Berkshire Arms is a haunted house—or at least haunted by the memory of the murder that
happened when it used to be The Peabody School. But as always, bills need to be paid, so they accept the job. And in the
midst of the celebration, Darius is discovered hanging from a noose outside one of the ballroom’s French doors…
Was it suicide, induced by despair over his missing spouse? Bernie and Libby doubt it once they read the note he left—
which includes a sum of money and a request for them to “do something” if anything should happen to him. Now that the
serving trays have been cleared and the decorations taken down, it’s time for the sisters to unmask a killer…

SHATTERED AT SEA
The Webb’s Glass Shop Mystery Series
Cheryl Hollon
Amateur sleuth Savannah Webb is back on the case in Cheryl Hollon’s fifth book in the
Webb’s Glass Shop Mystery series, centered around the stained glass world. A
Mediterranean cruise gives glass shop owner Savannah Webb a chance to demonstrate
her expertise—and fire up her skills when it comes to foul play…
When Savannah signs on as a glass blowing performer on a ship departing from the UK, part of the appeal is that she’ll get
a chance to meet her boyfriend Edward’s family. An added bonus is that Edward’s cousin, Ian, will be joining them on board.
However, at the beginning of the cruise, Ian vanishes, and the ship’s authorities soon believe it to be more than a suicide.
Savannah tries to balance her growing suspicions with work on her shows, but her relationship with the other glass artists
begins to crack. And she can’t let love color her judgment when Edward suddenly jumps to the top of the suspect list. His
fate is in Savannah’s hands, and she’ll do everything she can—on land and sea—to clear his name…

SAMHAIN SECRETS
The Wiccan Wheel Mystery Series
Jennifer David Hesse
When her aunt is found murdered in the forest before the Samhain holiday—when the veil
between worlds is thinnest—Wiccan attorney Keli Milanni must use her magical insight
to uncover the killer in the fourth installment of Jennifer David Hesse’s Wiccan Wheel
Mystery series.
After her recent promotion to junior partner, Keli is putting in overtime to juggle both her professional career and private
Wiccan spiritual practice. With Halloween fast approaching, her duties include appearing as a witch at a “haunted” barn
and hand-holding a client who’s convinced her new house is actually haunted. But it’s the disappearance of Josephine
O’Malley that has Keli spooked.
The missing person is Keli’s aunt, an environmental activist and free spirit who embodies peace, love, and independence.
When Josephine is found dead in the woods, Keli wonders if her aunt’s activities weren’t as friendly as they seemed. As Keli
comes to terms with her loss—while adjusting to having a live-in boyfriend and new demands at work—she must wield her
one-of-a-kind magic to banish negative energy if she’s going to catch a killer this Samhain season. Because Keli isn’t ready
to give up the ghost just yet.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets murder on the Jersey shore when Lucy Berberian,
new owner of the Kebab Kitchen Mediterranean restaurant, stumbles upon a murder
scene while catering a socialite’s very Jersey wedding in Tina Kashian’s second
Kebab Kitchen Mystery.
Lucy Berberian has taken over her family’s Mediterranean restaurant on the Jersey shore after an unsatisfying stint at a
Philadelphia law firm. It’s great to be back in her old beach town, even if she’s turning into a seasoned sleuth…
Catering a high-society wedding should bring in some big income for Kebab Kitchen—and raise its profile too. But it’s not
exactly good publicity when the best man winds up skewered like a shish kebab. Worse yet, Lucy’s ex, Azad—who’s the
restaurant’s new head chef—is the prime suspect. But she doesn’t give a fig what the cops think. He may have killer looks,
but he’s no murderer. She just needs to prove his innocence, before he has to go on the lamb…

For Amy Simms, hatching a birding shop in her hometown of Ruby Lake, North Carolina
hasn’t exactly been a breeze. But could a deadly discovery clip her wings for good?
It’s just days before Amy plans to open Birds & Bees on the first floor of her creaky Victorian house, but delayed seed
shipments have prevented the fledging owner from stocking her shelves. And it doesn’t help that Amy’s best friend and
business partner is out of town indefinitely. With locals skeptical about the niche shop taking flight, the last thing
Amy needs is a dead man in her storeroom—or for a crotchety tenant to catch her holding a bloody birdfeeder hook
over his body…
Pigeonholed as a leading murder suspect and lacking a solid alibi, Amy delves into the victim’s ugly past and buzzes around
Ruby Lake for clues on his killer… before she ends up like so many of her beloved feathery friends—trapped behind bars!

DIED IN THE WOOL
The Knit & Nibble Mystery Series
Peggy Ehrhart
When Pamela Paterson, an empty nester and craft magazine editor with a passion for
patterns, finds a dead body at the Knit and Nibble table after a school fundraiser, only she
can stitch together the facts and solve the murder in the second book in this delightfully
dark series from mystery author Peggy Ehrhart.
Pamela is ready to kick back and relax after a busy day selling stuffed aardvarks to benefit Arborville High School’s sports
program at the annual town festival. But just as she’s packing up, she makes a terrible discovery—someone’s stashed a
body under the Knit and Nibble’s table. The victim is Randall Jefferson, a decidedly unpopular history teacher after his recent
op-ed criticizing the school’s sports program. But the primary suspect has an alibi, and the only clue is a stuffed aardvark
found on the victim’s chest… Now the Knit and Nibblers must unravel the case quickly—before a crafty killer repeats a
deadly pattern.

LUST & LOYALTY
The Chesterton Scandal Series
Shelly Ellis
Shelly Ellis dazzles with the third book in the Chesterton Scandal series. It’s a life of
high-profile drama for the powerful Murdochs of Chesterton, Virginia, and they just keep
the scandals coming…
Evan Murdoch hoped his life would finally settle down. Instead he’s caught between two feuding women: his pregnant
fiancée, and his recovering alcoholic wife who’s fighting their divorce with every dirty, seductive trick she’s got. But even that
doesn’t compare to the dangerous secret Evan’s harboring—one that could send a Murdoch to jail for a very long time…
Party boy Terrence Murdoch may be recovering from a devastating car crash, but his relationship might not survive the
wreck. At least, not when his journalist girlfriend spends so much time in the past and finds herself reconnecting with her
family, her church—and her ex…
After the attempt on his life, half-brother Dante Turner lays low—but not for long. A mysterious young woman may be the
answer to his vengeful prayers when it comes to bringing down the Marvelous Murdochs—and this time he’s going for
the jugular…

ENTICED BY YOU
The Wellspring Series
Elle Wright
In Wellspring, Michigan, the Wells family is known for their wealth, their taste—and
their patriarch’s unbridled greed. Under his iron fist, their business empire has grown
at the expense of his three heirs’ hearts and souls. But now they’re taking back what’s
rightfully theirs…
With his father ailing and incapacitated, Parker Wells, Jr. has a bold new vision for the company he now heads. For starters,
he wants to heal the rifts his father’s ruthless tactics have created in the community—and within his family. But when
Parker is rear-ended by a gorgeous stranger, he finds himself torn between business and pleasure…
Crashing her car is not how corporate attorney Kennedi Robinson planned to announce her return to town, especially since
the man she hit is the same one who’s trying to rip her aunt’s livelihood and land out from under her. Kennedi knows better
than to fall for Parker’s charms—and she’s primed for battle.
Parker doesn’t want to fight with the whip-smart city girl. He’d rather enjoy the heat between them. But Kennedi is no
pushover, and it’s clear she’ll make him prove his good intentions—on paper and in the most personal of ways…

DEAD RINGER
Mary Burton
A TV anchorwoman is stalked by an obsessed serial killer in bestselling author Mary
Burton’s tensely thrilling novel of romantic suspense—now stunningly repackaged for
readers who might have missed it the first time around.
Beside each body, he leaves a simple charm bearing a woman’s name. Ruth. Judith. Rachel. The victims were strangers, but
were selected with the utmost care. Each bears a striking resemblance to Kendall Shaw, a local anchorwoman, and each
was brutally strangled by a madman whose obsession will never end…
In front of the cameras, Kendall is the picture of stylish confidence. But at night she’s haunted by nightmares in which she
is young, alone, and filled with fear. Are these memories—or omens? Despite warnings from Richmond Detective Jacob
Warwick, Kendall can’t stop investigating the recent string of murders. She knows she holds the key to catching an obsessed
psychopath—if he doesn’t get to her first…
The deeper Kendall and Jacob dig into the victims’ backgrounds, the more terrifying the discoveries. For from the shadows
of the past, a legacy of evil resurfaces. Every murder, every moment has been leading to Kendall. And this time, nothing will
stop the killer making her his final victim…

TRIGGER WARNING
William W. Johnstone; J.A. Johnstone
From the bestselling authors of The Doomsday Bunker, Black Friday, and Stand Your
Ground comes the explosive story of a college under siege—and freedom under fire…
Former Army Ranger Jake Rivers is not your typical Kelton College student. He is not spoiled, coddled, or ultra-lib like his
classmates who sneer at the “soldier boy.”
Rivers is not “triggered” by “microaggressions.” He is not outraged by “male privilege” and “cis-gender bathrooms.”
He does not need a “safe space.” Or coloring books. Jakes needs an education. And when terror strikes, the school
needs Jake…
Without warning, the sounds of gunfire plunge the campus into a battle zone. A violent gang of marauders invade the main
hall, taking students as hostages for big ransom money. As a veteran and patriot, Jake won’t give in to their demands. But to
fight back, he needs to enlist his fellow classmates to school these special snowflakes in the not-so-liberal art of war. This
time, the aggression isn’t “micro.” It’s life or death. And only the strong survive…

DEAD AND BURIED
Corey Mitchell
Repackaged and reissued, Corey Mitchell’s Dead and Buried recounts the crimes of
alcoholic sex-and-slaughter addict Rex Allan Krebs, who was brought to justice through
the heroic actions and quick thinking of a California parole officer.
Two young, attractive women. Both savagely attacked, brutalized, raped, and murdered. Rachel Newhouse disappeared on
the night of November 12, 1998, in San Luis Obispo, California. Only months later, in the same town, Aundria Crawford lost
her life in an act of unimaginable violence.
As authorities worked to find clues to the killer’s identity, parole officer David Zaragoza paid a routine visit to one of his
charges—Rex Allan Krebs, a violent serial rapist who’d served only ten years of a twenty-year sentence. After sending
Krebs back to jail for violating his parole, Zaragoza found a keychain belonging to one of the victims. An intensive search
led to the gruesome discovery of buried remains near Krebs’s secluded cabin. In his confession, Krebs asked, “If I am not
a monster, then what am I?” A jury responded by sentencing him to death by lethal injection.

A REASON TO DIE
A Perley Gates Western
From bestselling authors William W. and J.A. Johnstone—the second installment in the
explosive adventures of Perley Gates, who’s carving out his own legacy in the violent
American frontier…
Johnstone Country. Frontier Spirit Lives Here.

Restless cowpoke Perley Gates wanted nothing more than to track down the grandfather who abandoned his family years
ago. What he found was the crazy old sidewinder barely hanging on after a Sioux massacre. The old man’s dying wish was
to make things right for deserting his kin—by giving his strong-willed grandson Perley clues to the whereabouts of a buried
fortune in gold.
Finding his grandfather’s legacy will set up his family for life. But it won’t be easy. The discovery of raw gold in the Black
Hills has lured hordes of ruthless lowlifes into Deadwood and Custer City—kill-crazy prairie rats, gunfighters, outlaws, and
Indians—armed with a thousand glittering reasons to put Perley six feet under. All Perley wants is what was left to him,
what he’s owed. But with so many brigands on his backside, finding his grandfather’s treasure is going to land Perley Gates
between the promise of heaven and the blood-soaked battlefields of hell…

STAGECOACH TO PURGATORY
The Lou Prophet, Bounty Hunter Series
Peter Brandvold
When it comes to gun-blazing, bone-crushing action, no one tells a tale like acclaimed
Western writer Peter Brandvold. These are the violent days (and reckless nights) of Lou
Prophet, as told to his ink-stained confessor. Most of these recollections are brutal.
Others are bloody. Some might even be true…
What do you get when you take one stagecoach out of Denver, add a thousand-or-so bullets whizzing past your head, while
sitting next to two headless corpses caught in the crossfire? If your name is Lou Prophet, you get revenge. Raucous, rowdy,
ruthless revenge. Next question?
How do you catch a fork-tongued demon who’s busted out of prison to wreak all sorts of unholy hell on a small Texas town?
If you’re Lou Prophet, you team up with red-hot Louisa Bonaventura, a.k.a. “The Vengeance Queen,” and cut a swath of
merciless Prophet mayhem in return.

PAID IN BLOOD
A Buckhorn Western
From the bestselling chroniclers of the American West comes a riveting new chapter in the
epic Buckhorn saga—the legendary adventures of a young gun-for-hire with Indian blood,
a lightning-fast trigger, and his own special brand of justice…
Johnstone. Making the West wild again.

When a wealthy cattle baroness hires Joe Buckhorn to track down her son, it sounds like easy money. But when he learns
that the boy has run off with a girl—whose father is the leader of the cattle-rustling Riley clan—Buckhorn’s only hope is to
infiltrate the gang. Gain their trust. Live the outlaw life, even at the risk of death. There’s just one problem: there’s more than
one gang. The Riley girl may have stolen a runaway boy’s heart but the other gangs are stealing the baroness’ cattle. Which
puts Buckhorn in the middle of a violent, blood-soaked range war. If he chooses the wrong side, he’s as good as dead…but
if he follows his gut and lives, there’s going to be the darkest kind of hell to pay…
William W. Johnstone is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over 350 novels of Western adventure,
military action, chilling suspense, and survival. The son of a minister and a teacher, he left school at fifteen to work in a
carnival and then as a deputy sheriff before serving in the army. He went on to become known as “the Greatest Western
writer of the 21st century.” Visit him online at WilliamJohnstone.net.

TWILIGHT DESIRES
The Morgan’s Creek Series
Amanda Ashley
From New York Times bestselling author Amanda Ashley, a perennial star of the paranormal
romance genre, comes a new book featuring the trademark heightened emotion and
fascinating vampire lore that have made her one of the most respected names in paranormal
romance along with writers like Christine Feehan and J.R Ward.
Sofia Ravenwood was once fascinated by vampires—their seductive power, their inhuman strength, their dark desires. Then
one of them attacked her family, and she threw out her goth attire and vowed to keep clear of her enemies. Until she heard
about Ethan Parrish: a sweet, sizzling-hot former college football player, turned into a vampire against his will.
Wandering the deserted streets of Morgan Creek, Wyoming, Ethan’s sure he’ll be alone forever—a monster like him deserves
nothing else. Then beautiful, complicated Sofia agrees to meet him, fangs and all. The need she ignites in him is more than
just the pulse of her blood or the scent of her skin. But he’s not the only bloodsucker desperate to make her his own…

THE SYNDICATE 3
Brick & Storm
Brick & Storm present The Syndicate 3, the next installment of the Syndicate series!
One year ago, Claudette McPhearson died and left eight foster children to fend for themselves after they discovered the
truth about her secret life. She was the leader of the Syndicate, a criminal enterprise that had a stronghold on the
underworld. Much to her children’s chagrin, it was up to one of them to step up and take the lead. Javon, her oldest and
most trusted son, took on that mantle. It was a role he never wanted, but with threats to his family coming from every
direction, he had no choice.
One year later, Javon has taken the Syndicate to the next level. Javon seems untouchable, and the Syndicate can’t be
stopped, but as it grows, it draws attention. This time, it’s from the Commission, the ruling body of the world’s most
dangerous mafias. “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” comes into play as the Old Italian needs Javon’s help. The
Commission has been threatened, and they call on the Syndicate for reinforcements. The Syndicate aims to help their
allies, but the past comes knocking at the McPhearsons’ door. With everything coming full circle, Javon will find that not
everyone can be trusted, and ghosts from the past always have a way of coming back to haunt you.
Popular urban writers Brick & Storm hit the literary world running with their gritty, true-to-life series, Hood Misfits.
They followed up with another series, The Syndicate, proving that they could take their writing to the next level with
a mob-themed mystery thriller. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, the street-lit duo has been a team since their teens.
Each one grew up living the many stories they write about, until they grew to find love in writing. Aiming to share their
experiences through their action-packed writing, Brick & Storm have been working to give back to their community
while creating memorable stories and characters who forever stick with their readers.

KISS THE GIRLS AND MAKE THEM CRY
Brittani Williams
Welcome to Club Chances, Philly’s #1 male exotic strip club, where you can fulfill all your
fantasies and desires. Owner/operator Nancy Robinson gained full control of the club
when her husband was murdered during a robbery. Now she rules with an iron first, and
her toughness is the reason her business has been so successful.
Nancy has help from India, her drop‑dead gorgeous daughter. Most of the dancers at the club have their eyes on her, but
India is only interested in Ricky Johnson. Better known as Mr. Orgasm, Ricky is the reason women line up faithfully every
night, waiting to get a glimpse of the phenomenon.
India was warned never to mix business with pleasure, but she finds Ricky irresistible. With his smooth chocolate skin
and chiseled frame, he is a true work of art. He’s also known to break the heart of every woman he dates, but the bad‑boy
persona is what turns India on.
Unfortunately for India, Ricky harbors a deep, dark secret that could ruin her stability, as well as her position at the club.
India will soon learn why everyone warned her to keep her distance. This lust‑driven relationship will set the stage for an
explosive ending that readers will never see coming.
In this business, you should always expect the unexpected.
Brittani Williams began her foray into writing by happenstance when she was required to pen a play as an assignment.
It was then that Brittani discovered her unbound imagination, creativity, and the escapism rooted in great literature. She

MY HUSBAND’S MISTRESS
Racquel Williams
Take this wild ride as the characters in this crazy love triangle wreak havoc in each other’s
lives. Will anyone manage to get the revenge that they all yearn for, or will they learn the
truth of the expression “Love don’t love nobody?”
Hassan Clarke is a self‑proclaimed ladies’ man with his eyes set on the prize. With his jovial ways and gift for gab, he has
managed to weasel his way into the lives of two women—his wife, Destiny, and his mistress, Imani. His mistress is a
gold‑digging, self‑serving side chick, determined to be with her married lover even if it means losing everything, including
her soul, to get to him. However, after putting years of hard work and her hard‑earned money into building her husband’s
firm, Destiny doesn’t plan to forgo all the benefits without a fight. Hassan soon finds out that living the double life is not
what it’s cracked up to be.
Destiny’s life has been turned upside down by the cheating husband she once thought was the man of her dreams. His
reckless behavior has not only caused major heartbreak, but it has also caused her major health problems. With the cards
stacked against her, she must dig deep within to pull out her inner strength.
For Hassan, cockiness and arrogance have made him a hated man. He is blindsided when he is charged with the murder of
his mistress. Facing a lengthy prison sentence, Hassan must figure out how to prove that he’s no killer.
Racquel Williams was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and came to the United States in 1992. Struggling to support her sons
as a single mother, she chose the wrong path and ended up sentenced to 37 months in prison on drug charges. Upon her
release, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where she lives with her two sons. She is pursuing a degree in psychology and has
