_________

I’m not the person you remember. Revelations during meditation opened a portal to the mysterious and the veil became a doorway. Dug and discovered a way to plumb energetic cycles to tap the law of attraction and reel in future events. Took experience a step further. Forced to embrace more than can be proven.

The mind is my specialty. How I catch killers.

What good is a premonition if I can’t peg the timing to the calendar? Kate thought.

_________

Secrets buried deep, where Kate's most vulnerable. Clay’s on the outside, to protect their relationship and all they’ve built.

But what happens at their new California home throws them. Who is the blonde and what’s her role? Or is she part of the plot?

Across the veil, messages are cryptic.

The test comes in the moment. Preparation fails without action.

__________

I’ve been up close with serial murderers, which is the work. Ego reveals mania.

Last year, a clear message dropped in. Let go. Prepare.

Time to face him.

End this.

“A thriller based around a psychic profiler and behavioral psychologist that will stay with me for a while. This was intense, creepy, nail-biting stuff that had me gripped. I read it in one sitting. I could not put this book down. Highly recommended.” - NetGalley Review

Crucifix:

A London flat nestled in a small cul-de-sac, a beautiful courtyard with bright shining sun, and as many books as he could read.

It was going to be quiet, calm, and… Oh wait, it’s actually thedemon apocalypse.

With incursions, hauntings, and poltergeists to take care of, Damian is one of the only priests his church can call on.

At least for now.

They did send a welcoming gift in the shape of a young trainee, Max, who may or may not know his head from his… Well, you get the point.

Will Damian, with the help of some friends along the way, be able to kick the slaying and start to save the souls of his attackers? Or will his red-eyed granny of a neighbor poison him with a pie first?

If his demon has anything to do with it, exorcisms will only be done in the most fashionable style.

Secrets and action await you as you follow Damian up his path from hell.

Renegade:

The church is so very needy.

Sitting at a Roman café waiting for a friend, Damian is starting to think that taking a van full of unconscious priests might not have been the best option.

Nonetheless, Damian has survived his first couple of weeks as a “Demon ” or whatever the church wants to call him.

Can his protégé settle into the life of a warrior priest? Max still fights his own personal demons but hopes for a better future with Damian as his guide.

Neither of the priests’ demons are terribly happy with their hosts. Can Astaroth modify Max's entertainment habits or Ravi change Damian's sense of fashion?

Good luck with that.

Danger will hit Damian hard in the face, and he will have to decide betweenfriendship andduty.

Damian never was very good at following orders or dealing with limitations placed on him…

Apostle:

A little gunpowder goes a long way.

Damian has to deal with secrets.Too many secrets...and one of them is about a Demon he knows personally.

What's a little blood between friends and enemies?

The demons are bitching and life must go on, right?

Good luck with that.

Those in charge have provided orders for Damian.

Except, Damian has never been good at following orders or dealing with limitations placed on him…

Upgrade:

It takes a man a while to walk in his shoes...

Damian is finishing up many things in his life, including Max's training - if they survive.

Should he continue to allow secrets to run his life?

The clues are starting to track back to some influential players, but where is the proof?

Not that Ravi, in Damian's mind, cares a wit about hard proof.

Those in charge have secrets, and perhaps it is time to find them out.

Except, Damian has never been good at following orders or dealing with limitations placed on him, will Heaven accept his decisions?

♥ What if YOU could become an unshakeable woman? ♥

Your life matters. And it matters much more than you know. Because, whether you realize it or not, you are surrounded by people who are watching to see how you respond to life’s challenges. Your faith can become an inspiration and show them how an overcomer fights…and wins!

In this inspirational book, you’ll discover seven keys to victory when you stand on:

• His Word…so you are armed and dangerous, no matter what.
• Your identity…so there’s no shame on you anymore.
• Your calling…so you know what your true priorities are.
• Your God-appointed circle…so you’re never alone in the battle.

You can leave a legacy that will touch everyone around you…and those who come after you. The next generation is waiting for the overcomers to arise and show the way. Will you be one of them?

If you have enjoyed other self confidence books for women – by best selling Christian authors like Joyce Meyer, Havilah Cunningham or Lisa Bevere – then you’ll love the fresh wind, fresh fire imparted on the pages of Stand.

Plus, within the pages, you’ll find out how to instantly download Laura Luna’s free guide, “The Spiritual Power Toolkit.” Plus how to join the author’s free online community, Stand Confident in Your Calling.

If you’re going to read a book about being an overcomer, you should probably ask, “What has this author managed to overcome?” In the case of Laura Luna, the answer is: the impossible.

With a childhood marred by sexual abuse and family dysfunction, Laura dropped out of school in ninth grade. She had three children before the age of 19. She then broke her neck in seven places and was told she might never walk again; instead, she walked out of the hospital three days later.

Yet through it all, she stood on the promises of God and persevered against all odds. Her message is simple, “If God did it for me, He will do it for you, too!” But she doesn’t stop with platitudes and personal growth tips. She shares the simple yet effective strategies she’s found to strengthen herself for the fight...and how to live a well balanced Christian life.

This exceptionally well-written book highlights the compelling story of King Saul’s concubine, Rizpah, who happens to be my personal hero. She’s a shining example of Christian confidence for women. Rizpah was absolutely determined to pass on a spiritual inheritance to her children, even if it meant standing in the desert for six months, fighting off wild animals and birds of prey. In the end, God used her determination to shift the spiritual atmosphere over an entire nation.

Whatever is coming against you, Stand gives you the courage to fight and keep on fighting. And in the words of the Apostle Paul, “and having done everything, to stand.”

God is using Laura to spearhead a movement of women who are determined to stand confident in their calling for the sake of the next generation. This is a message I’m passionate about and I’m excited to see what God will do with this arising army of women warriors!

The Marquess of Alastair is trying to be a gentleman for a change, but this Regency miss won't take 'no' for an answer!

Mildred Abbott is a proper Regency miss, but she cannot deny the dark desires that torment her body in the quiet of night. Engaged to an uninspiring sycophant, she asks the influential nephew of her patroness in debauchery to interfere and break her engagement. When her appeals to him fail, she decides to take a singular opportunity—a visit to the Château Debauchery—to indulge her most wanton cravings before she submits herself to a life of wedded dullness.

The Marquess of Alastair concerns himself with no one, but to appease his aunt on her birthday, he agrees to select one person whose interests he will look after. It was not his intention to choose the plain and simple Miss Abbott, but when she unexpectedly shows up at the Château Debauchery, his hand is forced. Knowing his aunt to be partial to the miss, he grudgingly decides to act the part of a gentleman and preserve Miss Abbott's honor by removing her from the Château.

But Mildred refuses to go until she has had her night of wicked debauchery.

READER ADVISORY: This novella is a work of erotic fiction with romantic elements. It contains light bondage, BDSM elements and themes of submission/dominance.

Miss Emma Harlow hasn’t earned the reputation as a hoyden for nothing.

So when the Duke of Trent discovers her in his conservatory stealing one of his orchids, he’s isn’t surprised—charmed, delighted and puzzled, yes, but not surprised. It is Emma who is amazed. She has naturally concluded that the man reading in the conservatory must be the country cousin (who else in London would actually read?) and is quite vexed to discover that he is the Duke of Trent himself—imagine, stealing the duke’s prize Rhyncholaelia digbyana under his very nose!

But her vexation doesn’t last long.

For Emma is a practical young lady with a mission: to end her dear sister Lavinia’s engagement to the villainous (and dreadfully dull!) Sir Waldo Windbourne, and she thinks that the famous libertine is just the man for the job. If he would only seduce her sister away from Sir Waldo…. Well, not seduce exactly, but flirt mercilessly and engage her interest. Perhaps then Lavinia would jilt the baron. The Duke of Trent is resistant, of course.

Despite his reputation, he does not toy with the affections of innocents. And besides, it’s not her sister he longs to seduce.

No place on earth is untouched by the Shift.
It’s been two centuries since the boom of the Industrial Revolution sent the Victorian world into a devastating climatic shift. Now, chivalry is dead and the frills and frivolities of the romantic era are no more than a fading memory. And in Sagebrush Canyon, thirst rules, ignorance is power, and nothing is as it seems.

Jo has kept to the safety of her family’s farm, desperate to forget the horrific day that took her mother and left Jo battered and broken. But the marshal of Sagebrush is everywhere--he controls everything--and for years Jo has had to stomach the false pleasantries and knowing glint in the eyes of the man who killed her mother. When Jo discovers how deep the marshal’s seedy dealings run, she decides that fear will no longer keep her silent. But just when Jo plans to expose him for what he really is, the marshal plays a card of his own—his notoriously scandalous son, Clayton.

As Jo and Clayton are thrust together, lines become blurred, truths are revealed, and Jo must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in exchange for retribution.

Dust and Shadow is a post-apocalyptic love story and Victorian adventure set in the weather-ravaged, forgotten world of the American wild west. This richly imagined story, steeped with courageous, beautifully broken characters is the perfect read for Amy Harmon and Adrienne Young fans.

In return for his freedom, a slave is tasked with the job of delivering a valuable stallion to a horse farm in Tennessee. The Civil War is dying down and the roads are dangerous but with some help the horse is delivered and the slave sees freedom.

Wishing to be freed from any remembrance of the slave farm, John has a last name that he refuses to use. John’s skill with horses opens doors for him which eventually take him to Fort Worth, Texas. More open doors, over a period of years, find him on a cattle drive to Montana, followed by a second drive into Alberta, Canada. From there, he chooses the name Ware.

Too many clues, too many suspects, too many bodies and a police chief more interested in his career than justice for the victims. For Harry, it was the last straw, and it had been a long time coming.

"Mmmm. THAT'S how you do a murder mystery. Honestly, I don't think I've ever felt so satisfied at the end of mystery than I did after finishing The Last Straw by Blair Howard.

Faking it never felt so real in this falling-for-his-best-friend's-sister romance...

Nothing’s more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owner’s recently-widowed and handsy-as-hell sister who’s dead set on winning more than a date with me at the charity auction.

Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.

She’s my best friend’s sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don’t even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she’s my girlfriend.
Then my agent tells me we have to keep up the act while he's negotiating my contract.

Velika and Quinn's relationship was doomed from the start. Velika was a seasoned warrior who wasn't afraid of challenges. The vampire princess was determined to win Quinn's heart, defend her against a rival, and then claim her.
