The Shadow and The Sun (Militess & Mage Series Book 1)

by Monica Enderle Pierce


When a world’s fate rests on her sword, will a loyal soldier obey her king or follow her heart?



Militess Halina is an accomplished leader, a fearsome soldier, and the unapologetically tough bastard daughter of Ursinum’s king. When she’s ordered to gain the allegiance of Shadow Mage Gethen — a notoriously dangerous necromancer whose brother is an enemy king — she assumes the negotiations will be simple: Either he’ll pledge his loyalty or she’ll remove his head.

But the Shadow Mage isn’t what she expected, nor is his situation. Intriguing and powerful, Gethen’s the only man preventing the return of an ancient menace that threatens their world. And though he hates to admit it, his sorcery is failing and he needs her help.

Suddenly Ursinum’s dispute with Gethen’s brother seems petty, and Halina must decide who’s best served by her sword: her king or every man, woman, and child in the four kingdoms and beyond.
 

Magic, adventure, love, and suspense abound in the first novel of Monica Enderle Pierce’s Militess & Mage series. Epic fantasy that’s perfect for fans of sword and sorcery fiction with a touch of enemies-to-lovers romance.

No Man Can Tame (Dark-Elves of Nightbloom Book 1)

by Miranda Honfleur


A human princess. A dark-elf prince. A kiss of fire and powder.

After a failed courtship in an ally kingdom, twenty-one-year-old Princess Alessandra returns home to a land torn apart by mutual hatred between the humans and the dark-elves. The "Beast Princess," as Aless is known by courtiers, confidently sets her mind to ways of making peace, but her father has already decided for her: she is to marry one of the mysterious and monstrous dark-elves to forge a treaty, and go on a Royal Progress across the kingdom to flaunt their harmonious union. While she intends to preserve the peace, the Beast Princess has plans of her own.

Prince Veron has been raised knowing his life is not his own, but to be bargained away by his mother, the queen of Nozva Rozkveta, to strengthen the dark-elf queendom. When his mother tells him he is to marry a self-absorbed, vile human, he is determined to do his duty regardless of his personal feelings. After arriving at the human capital, he finds the "Beast Princess" rebellious and untamed—and not to be trusted.

Aless and Veron face opposition at every turn, with humans and dark-elves alike opposing the union violently, as well as their own feelings of dissonance toward each other. Can two people from cultures that despise one another fall in love? Can a marriage between them bond two opposing worlds together, or will it tear them apart for good?

If you like the fantasy and politics of Danielle L. Jensen’s Malediction Trilogy and the romance of Elizabeth Vaughan’s Chronicles of the Warlands, NO MAN CAN TAME will lure you into its world and not let you go.

Pick up No Man Can Tame today, and journey into a medieval world of magic and Immortals, masquerades and games, love and blood, and a tale as old as time…
 

Note: No Man Can Tame was previously published in the boxed set Of Beasts and Beauties. This is a revised second edition. Unlike many fantasy books, the Dark-Elves of Nightbloom series is NOT a "clean" read. If you enjoy your books free of love scenes and adult situations, this series isn't for you.

A Ferry of Bones & Gold (Soulbound Book 1)

by Hailey Turner


When the gods come calling, you don’t get to say no.

Patrick Collins is three years into a career as a special agent for the Supernatural Operations Agency when the gods come calling to collect a soul debt he owes them. An immortal has gone missing in New York City and bodies are showing up in the wake of demon-led ritual killings that Patrick recognizes all too easily from his nightmares.

Unable to walk away, Patrick finds himself once again facing off against mercenary magic users belonging to the Dominion Sect. Standing his ground alone has never been a winning option in Patrick’s experience, but it’s been years since he’s had a partner he could trust.

Looking for allies in all the wrong places, Patrick discovers the Dominion Sect’s next target is the same werewolf the Fates themselves have thrown into his path. Patrick has been inexplicably attracted to the man from their first meeting, but desire has no place in war. That doesn’t stop Patrick from wanting what he shouldn’t have. Jonothon de Vere is gorgeous, dangerous, and nothing but trouble—to the case, to the fight against every hell, and ultimately, to Patrick’s heart and soul.

In the end, all debts must be paid, and Patrick can only do what he does best—cheat death.

Are you thinking about moving to a country homestead, but have no idea how to start planning?

Do you want to raise your level of self-sufficiency, but live in a small city apartment and don’t know how to do it?

Just imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have to rely on municipal power or water grids (or pay those expensive bills every month).

Not to mention the joy and health benefits of growing your own organic food, instead of being forced to buy supermarket food infused with dangerous chemicals and pesticides.

Does this sound like a lot of work?

You’re right. It is.

Planning your homestead journey can take weeks, or even months if you’re a complete beginner.

You would have to read numerous books, research the farthest corners of the Internet, and spend thousands of dollars on consultations.

And even after all that planning, there are no guarantees that you wouldn’t miss something crucial... something that would make a huge dent in your budget and make you regret starting this blasted thing in the first place.

That’s how it goes for most first-time homesteaders -- they make mistakes, lose money, learn from the experience, and spend more money to make it right.

If you don’t want to be one of them, you’ve come to the right place.

You don’t have to plan everything yourself. Actually, you don’t have to plan anything yourself.

We’ve done it for you.

In The Homesteading Encyclopedia, you will discover:

  • A diverse range of different ways to live your homesteading dream, even if you can’t afford moving to the country
  • The best US states to live in when homesteading or going off-the-grid
  • A complete guide to utility options for homesteaders, including renewable energy and water sources

  • How to deal with medical emergencies when you live in an isolated area
  • Types of homestead properties (and how to choose the right one for yourself)
  • How to become a homesteader on a small budget

And much more.

No matter your motivation, financial situation, or living arrangements, homesteading is a great option for anyone who wants to gain any level of independence -- whether that’s a small taste or complete control of your lifestyle.

Semiautomatic Sorceress Boxed Set One

by Michael Anderle


Five years ago, everyone knew sorcery and magic were nothing but myths. One spectacular incident proved them wrong. Now men and women of power flaunt their supernatural abilities openly, using them for both good and evil.

Get the first three books in the Semiautomatic Sorceress series for a great price to find out what's myth or real.

Southwest Nights:
Sorceress Lyssa likes her reality TV and strawberry ice cream, but her day job of hunting down rogues and criminals doesn’t leave her much time for either. And that’s when she’s not worrying about containing a powerful and dangerous spirit forced on her.

Paranoia is her other hobby, and it’s hard to burn away all evil in the world when she’s not sure if she’s working for the good guys. There’s also the small problem of people from her past popping up and trying to kill her.

When gangsters surprise her with powerful artifacts on what should have been a routine mission, Lyssa is drawn into an investigation that threatens to upend what she thinks she knows about her past.

With two enchanted guns and an attitude, this is one sorceress who isn’t going to let anyone stand in her way.

Southwest Days:
They say there’s no rest for the wicked, but there’s even less for those hunting them.

A surprise message about Lyssa’s brother from the island home of the sorcerers destroys her new-found balance. She’s obsessed with finding out the truth about what happened to him, and that means investigating her own people.

Nothing gets done in the world of sorcery without calling on favors. When a report of a bizarre attack in southern Arizona surfaces, Lyssa has a chance to earn some political points and make the world a little safer. She never expects a quick investigation of an abandoned mine might turn into a fight for her life against bizarre creatures.

Evil comes in many forms, and a woman can’t always avoid a trap by knowing it’s coming.

It’s time for a monster hunt in southern Arizona, but Lyssa isn’t so sure the real monsters don’t walk on two legs.

Southwest Truths:

Sometimes the only way out of trouble is blowing up everything and everyone around you.

When a mysterious enemy starts assassinating sorcerers, Lyssa ends up as their next target. Corruption stalks the Illuminated Society, and she’s unsure who among her so-called allies is plotting against her. It doesn’t help that as a woman who makes her living taking down dangerous criminals and terrorists, she’s built up a huge list of dirtbags who would gladly pay to see her dead.

What do you do when the truth doesn’t set you free?

Not one to wait around for trouble, Lyssa takes the fight to the enemy. When more conspiracies come to light, she’ll travel to the heart of the Society to uncover the dark secrets around her brother’s disappearance and the dangerous spirit she’s kept at her side for six years.

But no plan survives contact with the enemy.

Lyssa isn’t ready to stop until the scum conspiring against her are destroyed. Blood and bullets will spill from Arizona to the Indian Ocean. It’s time for the Semiautomatic Sorceress to put her life and soul on the line.

The Christmas Cookie Shop (Christmas Town Book 1)

by Ginny Baird


Come home this Christmas to...

CHRISTMAS TOWN, TENNESSEE
Where everyday dreams come true!

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ginny Baird brings you the start of a brand new holiday series...

THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE SHOP
(Christmas Town, Book 1)

Hannah Winchester is down on her luck and disillusioned with love, but her fortunes are about to change. When Hannah inherits a defunct bakery in East Tennessee, her first thought is to sell it and settle her substantial debt. Then the townsfolk welcome her warmly and she's taken with the joyful spirit of the place, where stores employ holiday themes and residents have surnames like Christmas and Claus. After a handsome lawman comes to her aid dressed as Santa, Hannah learns he's more than a hot guy in a red suit and shiny black boots. Sheriff Carter Livingston has joined in the cause of rejuvenating the town, and he's encouraging her to do her part. Hannah's great-grandmother, Lena, sold special holiday cookies that brought hope and renewal to the people of Christmas Town. Yet Hannah has plans elsewhere and isn't looking to stay. Can she possibly reopen the shop known for kindling romance—without sacrificing her heart?

EXCERPT

The last turn she took was supposed to lead straight to the town roundabout, the one that connected with South Main Street. Hannah had been told to watch for a flagpole, the courthouse, a library, and a big town sign. But all she saw ahead of her in these near-whiteout conditions was more snow! That's when a flashing blue glimmer in her driver's side mirror caught her eye. Thank goodness! Help has arrived. It had to be a cop figuring her for a distressed motorist. Hannah certainly couldn't get any more distressed than this.

Hannah hadn't journeyed to Tennessee for a leisurely visit. She'd inherited a business she knew absolutely nothing about, and she was determined to sell it at the first opportunity. She tried to imagine herself running a cookie shop, but just couldn't. The only picture that came to mind involved huge plumes of black smoke curling out an open doorway. Where some people had a brown thumb in the garden, Hannah wore a charred oven mitt in the kitchen. She couldn't even microwave popcorn without the bag catching fire.

Hannah spun in her seat to better view the approaching figure in dark clothing. No, wait. It's a matching red tunic and slacks worn beneath an open field coat. The full silhouette of a man emerged from a snowy swirl and Hannah's heart thumped. It wasn't just any outfit; it was a Santa suit. Though she'd never seen Old Saint Nick looking quite like that. Rather than being short and stout, he was tall and built, with an obviously solid chest and a manly jaw thinly disguised by a fake white beard. A Santa hat sat slightly askew on his head, partially covering short brown hair. He strode to her driver's side window in shiny black boots and tapped on the glass. Hannah goggled at the apparition, then lowered her window a crack.

Evergreen eyes peered in at her and Hannah caught her breath. She didn't even know eyes came in that color. They reminded her of Christmas trees: the really fresh kind, not the plastic sort that normally stood on an end table in the corner of her apartment.

"Everything okay in there? I saw that you'd pulled over. No wonder, really." Little lines crinkled around his eyes, lending them warmth beneath the wind's chill. "Given the weather." He tugged off his fake beard and stuffed it in his pocket, exposing a rugged face.

Whoa, he was a good-looking Santa. She judged him to be a few years older than her but not more than five. As if his age mattered! Hannah wasn't in Tennessee to stay and she certainly wasn't in the market for a man. She'd had enough boyfriends to last her, thank you very much. And every...single...one of them had let her down. Love. Just one more four-letter word that had been canned from her vocabulary.

Claimed: Dirty Fairy Tales Series: Age Gap Romance (Demanding Daddy Book 2)

by Olivia Fox


Deep-sea diver left for dead. A speechless siren finds him on the deserted strand. A guy who battles sharks, near drowning, and oozes danger.

Eric García

The waves of fate tossed him up on the shores of my solitude, and for the first time since the collision, I feel safe.

A man who swims in the ocean depths, fearing nothing. Mentally and physically fit. He wants me to talk again. Why would he understand that I’ve stayed protected from the heartlessness of humans only by remaining here on the abandoned shore of the Pacific Ocean? Hiding. Silent.

He’s rough. Bold. And insists that I call him “daddy”. But how can I when a horrible incident took my words away forever?

Beneath the steely surface lies a devoted and gentle heart that I don’t want to disappoint - one that needs to claim me as his.


No way am I going back to village with him so he can spoil me like he says I deserve. Even though his firm hand and punishments make me squirm, in a good way, this won’t work.

I’m an unusual girl, twenty years his junior, who earns her living selling shellfish.  The laughingstock of Briarville. Eric doesn’t know about the deal I sealed for my aunt’s silence - an arrangement I’d ruin by showing my face in town.

His kisses set off a sharp, wild need in me, and I hope that mine tell him without speech that I love him.

He demands that I’m his. But I realize this desire burning between us won’t survive the ugly that flourishes where the people are.

From Amazon Best Seller: Olivia Fox comes this age gap,  alpha romance. Claimed is part of her Dirty Fairy Tales series, inspired by The Little Mermaid. Each book is a standalone, naughty ever after.
