She is no stranger to lying. Until someone starts lying to her — and that someone also happens to be a killer ...

Lee lies for a living. She infiltrates rich men's lives under false identities to steal.

She enters an exclusive rehab facility to meet renegade aristocrat James St. Bryce because she wants the jewels in his safe.
But, brilliant and unpredictable, St. Bryce keeps turning the tables on her, and making her feel dangerous things.

Has he found out her secret? Should she get out while she can?
She has always known when to run ...

Instead, at his lavish estate in southern England Lee starts to think of St. Bryce's dead wife. How did she end up smashed at the bottom of the cliff?
Did his renowned temper have anything to do with it?

As the emotional stakes get higher for Lee, she searches for the truth behind a cold-blooded murder, up to its shocking final twist.

If you like stories with a noir feel where the mysteries matter as much as the love, this trilogy is bound to thrill you.
Although the sensuality in the story is important, the heat level is medium.
The mystery is solved, but the relationship remains in a cliffhanger until Book 2, which is already available on Amazon.

Advisory: This book contains strong language and a few explicit love scenes.

"An intelligent, immersive police procedural that will leave you pining for another Jack Bailey novel." –Best Thrillers

What if it happened to your daughter? At first Detective Jack Bailey wonders who would kill a nice guy like Todd Kaplan. But it doesn't take long for Jack to realize Todd should’ve thought twice about what he did to several girls he dated. Was his murder justified?

Jack Bailey, small-town hard-boiled detective, must solve the crime, but his own unrelenting demons rising from his struggle with PTSD and buried family secrets complicate his task. Daily work at the station affords Jack distraction from the inner turmoil that penetrates his nights. Darkness brings unwanted memories, nightmares, and the realization he needs to face what happened ten years ago.

Through the searing Texas summer heat, Jack’s team of detectives works hard interrogating witnesses in an effort to discover Todd Kaplan’s true character. But it’s patrol cop, Denise Williams, who rises above her calling to assist in questioning a crucial witness. Smart and sassy, she holds her own with Jack’s moody temperament. All the while, a new romantic interest with a woman who is off limits proves problematic for Jack as he tries to make the right decision.

Was this small-town murder an act of justice or revenge? Only a parent who has tragically lost a child can hold the answer in their hearts. Jack understands. Only too well.

Frank Kirk, a NJ State Police homicide detective and an Ex-Army Ranger, investigates the most perplexing case of his life with unexpected help from a potentially mad neuroscientist who offers to extract memories from the murder victim’s dead brain.

For Frank, a case of a truck driver’s assassination is only the beginning of a rabbit hole that will see him pursue a professional hitman, investigate a mysterious oil tycoon and match wits and bullets against a team of tier one renegade mercenaries. A serendipitous intervention by a CIA agent with her own secrets brings foreboding of a link back to the war he had fought in Afghanistan.

Frank will need all his combat experience – for his enemies too are battle hardened killers who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets. From improvising on his Jungle Warfare training just to stand a chance at survival to a deadly gunfight amidst a high speed truck chase down the highway; Frank’s partner at his side will be his old, trusted rifle.

But his most unexpected partnership happens with an eccentric man whose bizarre experiment threatens to reveal the secrets men take with them to their graves.

Dead men tell no tales; but memories from a dead brain may tell a story of a Murder!

When a modern princess falls in love with her bodyguard, a man who is definitely not a prince, a royal fairy tale turns dangerous.

ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a beautiful princess. Flicka von Hannover lived an enchanted life. She jetted around Europe staging charity events with friends, had married a handsome prince in the most spectacular royal wedding of the 21st century, and should have lived happily ever after.

But then she found the handsome prince in bed with a duchess. And then a coffee shop barista. And then her own goddamn secretary.

Finally, the beautiful princess had had enough of the cheating prince, and she ran away.

The prince didn’t want to let her go. He couldn’t take his throne without her and sent henchmen to take her back to the castle. Her worried royal brother sent people to look for her, too.

The prince threatened her. He said that if the princess contacted her brother or any of her friends for help, he would kill her brother and her brother’s new, pregnant wife.

So the princess ran to the only person she could trust, a man who was frankly not a handsome prince.

Dieter Schwarz had been Flicka’s bodyguard for years. He had protected her from assassins, kidnappers, and high school dates who got too handsy after a few drinks. He was a sharp-witted, sharp-jawed, hard-muscled former Swiss Special Forces operator who had started his own private security firm, Rogue Security, and had no past that he spoke of.

No one knew that he had been her first lover and broken her heart, but he's the only one she can trust now.

Japanese business magnate Kenji Watanabe, 80, has protected the secrets surrounding his father’s murder for many years. When a detective calls in 2002 hoping to solve the case with new information, Kenji takes immediate action to keep the truth from becoming public.

In 1967, Kenji’s father, a former general in the Imperial Japanese Army, had more than his fair share of enemies. When a burglar stole his war sword and left a threatening note, it became clear that someone held a nasty grudge. And when the general was found murdered with Kenji holding the same sword over his dead body, Kenji became the prime suspect.

Kenji learned who killed his father and knew why, but no one was ever arrested. In 2002, the statute of limitations has already run out. No charges can be brought regardless of the new evidence. Yet, Kenji would rather die than reveal the secret.

This year, I only have one wish for Christmas.
I want my wife and our unborn child back.

I used to spend my days getting clients out of prison and women into my bedroom.
But when I met Quinn, everything changed.
The moment I saw this breathtaking beauty with angel’s eyes and a smile that makes you melt,
I knew we were meant to be.

When I introduced her to my family this X-Mas, she was in shock.
Well, seems like a primary school teacher from a small town isn’t used to having dinner with billionaires.
But that’s exactly why I love her:
Her down-to-earth and lighthearted ways show me what’s really important in life.

But now I’m about to lose everything.

One of my former clients got out of prison.
He still blames me for his conviction and he’s out for revenge.
That’s why he kidnapped Quinn.
And according to the pregnancy test I found, not only her… but also the gift that’s growing inside of her.

To get her free, I need to fulfill his demand:
He doesn’t want my money. He wants my life.
I must kill myself to save Quinn and our baby.
I guess we need a X-Mas miracle. The clock is ticking.

I've also included a preview of my romance novel "Beautiful Mistake" for you. Happy reading & Merry X-Mas! - Sarah J. Brooks (USA Today Bestselling Author)

In the dark primal jungles of the Congo River basin, something is ravaging the local population. That was only the beginning. When protests turn violent in front of the US Embassy Kinshasa, only the foreign policy experts paid attention. As civil war erupts and people rip each other apart in the streets of the African capital, a disinterested public across the globe turns the channel.

In an effort to avert disaster and preserve its self-image, an overwhelmed US Department of State dispatches a team of elite counterterrorist agents to bring their besieged people back alive.

Agent Mark Steele, a rising star within the Division, and his team of gritty operatives are used to trudging through the worst dregs that society has to offer, all while operating from the shadows. But Steele’s team is wading headfirst into a maelstrom of death so much worse than rebels in the streets.

A highly contagious microbe is spreading unchecked through the streets killing everyone in its wake only to bring them back again as the ravenous undead. Only a lone CDC virologist understands the extent of the outbreak at hand. He cowers amongst the embassy staff praying for extraction from the hands of death, fearing his part to play in the epidemic.

Follow this harrowing tale of survival, duty, love and horror as the living dead bring the world to its knees.

Sin was a nightmare waiting to happen.

Six years later, a friend is murdered at the hottest nightclub in Manhattan, again thrusting me into a killer's crosshairs. Now a detective with the NYPD, I refuse to hide, unyielding in my pursuit of justice, which has eluded me for so long. Determined to keep me safe, Sin forces me from the case. Defying him at every turn, our contentious relationship finally explodes in the most scandalous way conceivable, leaving me devastated.

I wanted them both.

One dangerous kiss changes everything, catapulting me into a war between the two, neither of them willing to let me go. I become a pawn in their game until they join forces in a way I never saw coming. But lies and deception threaten to destroy us, leading to a betrayal that cuts so deep, I wonder if I'll ever survive.

From Bestselling author Kelli Callahan comes a Holiday Romantic Comedy centered around a woman who is fed up with Christmas, has no intention of ever falling in love, and totally plans to ignore the hottest guy she’s ever laid eyes on.

I don’t care if all of the people I work with call me Elly-nezer Scrooge behind my back.
I don’t care if my family judges me because I haven’t been to a Christmas dinner in years.
I don’t even care that I spend every single holiday alone.
I’m happy.

I’ve said that so many times that I think I finally believe it...

Then my cousin signed me up for the Secret Santa Romance dating app.
And I got matched with Ian...

Sure, he’s hot, charming, and checks every single box I can come up with on the perfect guy list but there’s no way he’s going to convince me to go on a date with him or change my perspective of Christmas with his corny jokes.

So why can’t I convince myself to stop talking to him, delete this stupid app, and get on with my life?

This is a full-length standalone Romantic Comedy.

The human condition is one riddled with complexities about the path we yearn for, who we are and what we believe.

We have become so dogmatic in our own beliefs that when they don’t come to fruition or we find them to be a hoax, our journey can come crashing down with doubt, fear, and uncertainty. Many individuals think they know why they are doing what they do, where they will end up, or who they wish to be in 3 to 7 years until a catastrophic event called life occurs.

We dream to live adventurously but the fear of change confines us to only existing, which is to survive in the fog of society thus creating a disoriented/invisible sensation. The unknown causes our thoughts to imprison us as we ponder if we will ever be content or if we will forever be in debt paying bills. We work hard to be accepted instead of acknowledged. We wonder about our next occupation or what comes after retirement. We worry about things we can’t control then suffer from anxiety. Our breath is limited by our determination and imagination yet those things we can take hold of.

We exclaim at times to be lost, but to be lost is to know where X marks the spot yet unclear on how to get there. So the question is:

What’s the Journey Toward X?

This book is meant to help you not only choose your path, but how to choose it wisely and magnanimously.

“Part mystery and part drama, Meyerson uses a complex family dynamic in The Bookshop of Yesterdays to spotlight the importance of truth and our need for forgiveness.” —Associated Press

A woman inherits a beloved bookstore and sets forth on a journey of self-discovery in this poignant debut about family, forgiveness and a love of reading.

Miranda Brooks grew up in the stacks of her eccentric Uncle Billy’s bookstore, solving the inventive scavenger hunts he created just for her. But on Miranda’s twelfth birthday, Billy has a mysterious falling-out with her mother and suddenly disappears from Miranda’s life. She doesn’t hear from him again until sixteen years later when she receives unexpected news: Billy has died and left her Prospero Books, which is teetering on bankruptcy—and one final scavenger hunt.

When Miranda returns home to Los Angeles and to Prospero Books—now as its owner—she finds clues that Billy has hidden for her inside novels on the store’s shelves, in locked drawers of his apartment upstairs, in the name of the store itself. Miranda becomes determined to save Prospero Books and to solve Billy’s last scavenger hunt. She soon finds herself drawn into a journey where she meets people from Billy’s past, people whose stories reveal a history that Miranda’s mother has kept hidden—and the terrible secret that tore her family apart.

Bighearted and trenchantly observant, The Bookshop of Yesterdays is a lyrical story of family, love and the healing power of community. It’s a love letter to reading and bookstores, and a testament to how our histories shape who we become.
