On the second day of the meet, a fourteen-year-old girl shows up at the office seeking the detectives’ help in a case of what she says is murder.

Karma, a word we hear in our daily lives..

But what does it actually mean and how does it impact our lives? Is it a myth or is it reality? Is there a Law of Karma that we can understand and decode so that we can apply it effectively in our lives? This book explores these questions using ancient wisdom. At the same time, it gives practical advice that we can apply for our modern-day lives. The explanations of Karma have been presented in an easy-to-read format, peppered with insightful stories.

Usually, only a simplified form of knowledge about Karma is discussed in general public life. The in-depth doctrines of Karma are only discussed at advanced spiritual gatherings. This book translates the ancient knowledge of Karma to language of this millennium, so that we can utilize this wisdom to stride ahead with conviction, make decisions without hesitation and enjoy a joyous life.
 

Brian is surrounded by family and friends at his 54th birthday party. He has an important job & contributes to society. He's the picture of health at a time when life expectancy has been extended by 40 years or more. But New America says his time is up.

Set in Raleigh, North Carolina in a dystopian New America, “55” presents ageism in its cruelest form. Anyone over the age of 55 is deemed to be a drain on society because they consume too many resources and do not contribute enough. Brian lived through the devastating famine that precipitated the rise of the new society, and he raised his family under the new rules. The luxuries of his former life, such as the ability to have a family pet, are now reserved only for the ruling class, who are allowed to live nearly indefinitely because of advances in the pharmaceutical industry.

Brian's daughter, a rising political star in New America’s drone program, is thriving in the new society. But she can do little to save Brian and appears to simply use him to advance her own career. Resigned to his fate, Brian carries out the duties required of him in the final year at his job, including training a young protege eager to advance. Brian’s work involves the testing of the government-mandated microchips that are required to function in every aspect of life, including buying food, attending school, and going to the doctor. He soon discovers a new sinister use for the microchips and is determined to sabotage the project and save himself at the same time, all while dealing with his daughter and her powerful allies.

Brian’s cause is more important than he realizes, with the potential to impact the entire world. But, all is not as it seems. The circumstances that brought the former United States to its knees were no accident, and Brian's daughter is in a position to set them all in motion again. Brian finds his own allies in the lawless “bush country,” as well as the truth about New America.

Shadow Eclipse: Voyage is the first book in the Shadow Eclipse series, following the adventures of Florentina Clarke across time and space.

"EM Gale's Shadow Eclipse: Voyage deftly combines, or should I say launches, the supernatural off into space and into the future."

You are cordially invited to the worst wedding of the century.

Sydney Evans is no stranger to hard work. It’s the one constant in her life. And with no family or friends to speak of it’s been easy to pour everything she has into her career as general counsel for Blackstone Holdings.

She wants for nothing. Until her boss offers her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All she has to do in return is marry his good-for-nothing son.

Scott Blackstone used be a party whore. Pardon, party animal. He hasn’t been that guy in a long time though. Not since he moved to Wyoming, bought a failing cattle ranch, and turned it into a profitable business.

All is good. Until a phone call from his father threatens the quiet, simple life he’s built. Marry or lose everything. And to a woman who can’t stand him, no less. Well, Scott is not going down without a fight. He’s never going back to Manhattan. Not if he can help it.

If one is very, extremely desperate, then one may call on the services of a clandestine group of men.
The Kidnap Club—known to few—specialize in helping women out of difficult situations.

Arranged marriages to awful men, for example.

Miss Grace Beaumont is at the mercy of her uncle who is determined she marry the depraved Mr. Worthington. Desperate times call for…well, the Kidnap Club.

It seems insane. Perhaps it is. But anything is better than being married to that man.

Lord Nash Fitzroy has looked after many a kidnapee over the past few years, but none make him want to break the cardinal rules as much as Grace. Her determined spirit, quick wit, and, let’s be honest, her pretty looks have him struggling to remember his role in this.

Protector, defender, and occasional shoulder to cry on.

His way with women and the almost derelict offerings of his ancestral home as a hideaway make him a perfect pretend kidnapper. He doesn’t much mind the money involved either, seeing as his father cut him off.

Which means, he cannot afford to get this wrong. No matter how tempted he is to show Grace that Worthington is not a prime example of how a man should be and burn the damned rule book.If one is very, extremely desperate, then one may call on the services of a clandestine group of men.

$10 million for being a fake-princess for one year.
Done deal – I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
As it turns out, quite a lot.

After a ONS with an incredibly hot guy on St. Patrick’s Day,
I wake up in his hotel room the next morning.

fake being princess until his succession to the throne becomes final.

Aside from the money Liam is charming, gorgeous and above all – great in the sack.
What girl hasn't always dreamed of being a princess?
So I say yes and leave my fashion job in New York behind.

But life in a royal family is by no means a fairy tale.
Nobody can find out that there is a contract between us, but people are suspicious,
starting with my beastly mother-in-law.
Between the paparazzi stalking us and other family intrigues - slowly but surely my life becomes a nightmare.

And as if that's not enough, I’m getting morning sickness.
A pregnancy test later I know that a little prince or princess is growing inside me...
I guess now is not the best time to ask Liam to terminate the contract?

Royal Fake is a stand-alone fake marriage romance with a baby surprise and a guaranteed HEA you don't want to miss! No cheating. No cliffhangers. Includes a preview of "Best Fake Ever".

Some quizzes will tell you what your inner Pokemon or perfect Hogwarts House is. Wouldn't you rather have a Billionaire Book Boyfriend instead?

Take The Billionaire Quiz, a new book concept from Blair Babylon, with over 1000 pages of book boyfriends just for you!

Inside, you'll answer a few fun multiple-choice questions (How do you like it? How many ways do you like it? Just how naughty are you?), and the quiz will match you to your very own billionaire book boyfriend and a book about him, just for you!

And then, when you're in a different mood, take the quiz again because life's too short for just one billionaire book boyfriend.

Which Billionaire Book Boyfriend will be your match?

Wulf von Hannover - the original sapphire-eyed, blond Billionaire in Disguise, who runs the Devilhouse nightclub and has a royal secret that even he's hiding from. Probably the most refined and cosmopolitan of the billionaire boyfriends, he also kind of rules the world, but quietly.

Casimir van Amsberg - popular, tattooed, and ripped entertainment attorney to the stars with a thousand celebrity friends (and exs,) but with emerald-green eyes only for you.

Arthur Finch-Hatten, Lord Severn - the hard-partying, British Earl of Severn with an MI-6 secret. Born with silver eyes and a silver spoon in his mouth, this Englishman likes to keep pets. He has a very badly behaved puppy, too.

Theo Valencia - This tall County District Attorney is on his way up in politics. Way, way up. His hobbies include boxing and sheltering you from the bad guys chasing you. Also, if you squint at his four-poster bed, you can see where the ropes go.

Alexandre, Duke de Valentinois - a towering European nobleman and a rock star. Don't let his sane, refined persona fool you. He's neither of those. Probably the most dangerous billionaire in the world. Might have killed a man when he was a teenager.

Raphael Mirabaud - Goes by another name, for now, but he's handy with every weapon ever made. When the going gets rough, this tall, Swiss bodyguard will jump in front of the woman he loves, take the bullet, and shoot the assailant.

Mathonwy, Duke Draco - six feet, six inches of burly muscle and golden-eyed competence, when he's in his human form. A billionaire book boyfriend for readers who truly want to walk on the wild side and fly there, too.

Maxence Grimaldi - This tall, lean, dark-eyed royal is hiding a thousand secrets. If you're matched with him, you'll discover one.

“You will not sleep until you are finished with AGENT ZERO. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. The description of the action scenes transport us into a reality that is almost like sitting in a movie theater with surround sound and 3D (it would make an incredible Hollywood movie). I can hardly wait for the sequel.”
--Roberto Mattos, Books and Movie Reviews

In this much-anticipated debut of an epic spy thriller series by #1 bestseller Jack Mars, readers are taken on an action thriller across Europe as presumed-CIA operative Kent Steele, hunted by terrorists, by the CIA, and by his own identity, must solve the mystery of who is after him, of the terrorists’ pending target—and of the beautiful woman he keeps seeing in his mind.

Kent Steele, 38, a brilliant professor of European History at Columbia University, lives a quiet life in a New York suburb with his two teenage daughters. All that changes when late one night he gets a knock on his door and is abducted by three terrorists—and finds himself flown across the ocean to be interrogated in a basement in Paris.

They are convinced that Kent is the most lethal spy the CIA has ever known.

He is convinced they have the wrong man.

Do they?

With a conspiracy around him, adversaries as smart as he is, and an assassin on his tail, the wild game of cat and mouse leads Kent on a perilous road—one that may lead back to Langley—and to a shocking discovery of his own identity.

AGENT ZERO is an espionage thriller that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
