For the first time, includes a sneak peek of Lawbreaker in celebration of its upcoming release. Lawbreaker is available for pre-order on Amazon.

Leilani Kealoha wants to be set free. Of family expectations. Of generations of prejudice.

Chafing at rules made by the proud Hawaiian men in her family, she yearns to discover herself and hungers to explore the world. Her adventuresome heart? Longs for something even greater, deeper.

The last thing she expects is an East Coast haole surfer to hold the key to everything.

Mason Price is done walking his parents’ path. Done with social acceptance—with cold politics.

On a surfing quest to reinvent himself, Mase finds an exotic beauty standing on his towel. But it’s her feisty bargaining that catches him off guard. When he challenges her with a “Truth or Shots” drinking game, she unwittingly reveals more than she’d intended about herself…and him.

The raw truth stuns him: She’s suffered like he has, is lost like he is—keeps secrets like he does.

But will young love and shared situations be enough to conquer racial and cultural divides?

Lines in the sand…were meant to be crossed.

June never asked to be cloned from her mother’s DNA. She didn’t ask for the faulty heart that beats in her chest either. She made a life for herself as a college professor, but what she really wants is the same as everyone else: a human connection. But how can she connect to someone when her heart’s next beat could be the last?

When her estranged father shows up on her doorstep, warning her that he’s being forced back into the illegal human cloning world and she’s in danger, she dismisses him as paranoid. That’s until he disappears. The police are not prepared to confront a conspiracy this large, especially with a serial killer on the loose.

When approached by an AWOL soldier, insisting her father’s disappearance is linked to his brother’s odd behavior, she doesn’t trust him. She’s been taught her whole life not to trust anyone.

With time running out, she must avoid abduction attempts, untangle the web of lies, and above all else, hide her taboo origins.

Can June trust someone with her secret… and her heart?

Two years ago, Darren Street made a name for himself as the man who rooted out corruption in the district attorney’s office. Now the hotheaded young lawyer is in the public eye yet again—this time, accused of murder.

Jalen Jordan retained Street for what seemed to be a minor traffic violation, but when evidence turned up linking Jordan to the death of two boys, Street wanted out of the case. To ensure his lawyer’s cooperation and silence, Jordan threatened to make Street’s son the next victim. Shortly after, Jordan’s own body turned up with a bullet hole in his chest.

Now Street is on trial for his life, and the enemy he made in the DA’s office is clearly out for blood. It’s one lawyer out to frame another. Can a desperate father escape punishment for a crime he didn’t commit?

Althea Bell is still heartbroken by her mother’s tragic, premature death—and tormented by the last, frantic words she whispered into young Althea’s ear: Wait for her. For the honeysuckle girl. She’ll find you, I think, but if she doesn’t, you find her.

Adrift ever since, Althea is now fresh out of rehab and returning to her family home in Mobile, Alabama, determined to reconnect with her estranged, ailing father. While Althea doesn’t expect him, or her politically ambitious brother, to welcome her with open arms, she’s not prepared for the chilling revelation of a grim, long-buried family secret. Fragile and desperate, Althea escapes with an old flame to uncover the truth about her lineage. Drawn deeper into her ancestors’ lives, Althea begins to unearth their disturbing history…and the part she’s meant to play in it.

Gripping and visceral, this unforgettable debut delves straight into the heart of dark family secrets and into one woman’s emotional journey to save herself from a sinister inheritance.

A Ouija board, evil spirits, and a murder victim?

It’s all in a day’s work for librarian Ripley Van Raden. Ripley expects to encounter ghosts when she moonlights as a haunted tour guide around town, but a plethora of spirits at the library isn’t something she wants to check out.

Sure, Ripley receives text messages from the deceased former librarian who haunts the library, but Annie Gibson is a friendly ghost. Evil spirits are an entirely different chapter. When Ripley discovers a dead guy on her front porch and loses her job at the library, she realizes this might not be the happily ever after she wanted.

A HILARIOUS, WISE, REVEALING ROMP THROUGH FIVE DECADES OF HOLLYWOOD!

“Wow!!! Adrienne, like Mame, has LIVED!!!! And like Candide, she emerges unscathed, as dear as she was when she began. But what a wild ride!!!” —Bette Midler

Originally published in 2006, this L.A. Times bestseller by Tony-nominated actress, iconic “scream queen”, and vampyre thriller author Adrienne Barbeau is many things: a touching coming-of-age journal, an inspiring actor’s handbook on how to survive in the biz, and a witty Hollywood memoir—chronicling five decades of stage, screen, and romance.

There’s only one Adrienne Barbeau, as singular and irreplaceable as Marilyn, Meryl, or Hepburn—and as down-to-earth as any soccer mom (which she is). Only one Swamp Thing girlfriend, only one Ruthie the snake charmer, only one original Rizzo. No other voice in Hollywood can you imagine as Creepshow’s Billie growling, “Get out of the way, Henry, or I swear to God you’ll be wearing your balls for earrings.”

Twelve-year-old Barbeau entrusted her journal with a secret: she must become an actress. She set out with single-minded determination, succeeding on the strengths of an unsurpassed work ethic and discipline, unshakable commitment to the truth of her characters, a soul-stirring voice, a preternaturally perfect beauty, and her bawdy sense of humor—all on full display here!

Barbeau hilariously details her early years as a naif in New York, securing her first apartment with roommates: “One of the girls was an alcoholic…. The other had male friends who left money on the dresser on the nights I’d come home to find myself locked out of the bedroom.” Then getting her first job, as a barmaid: “My boss … is a ‘big man’ in New York—although not a member of the Mafia, they are good friends.” And, memorably, starring on Broadway in Grease. She warmly remembers her two hit television series (Maude and Carnivale), and spins tales of her many television and feature films (The Fog, Escape from New York, Cannonball Run, Swamp Thing, Back to School, Creepshow).

But unlike most showbiz biographies, Barbeau’s story doesn’t stop—or even slow down—at fifty, which finds our heroine newly in love, wandering the halls of the maternity ward a new mother (the only new mother on the floor with an AARP card), becoming a published author (of vampire thrillers!), and taking up trapeze-performance at seventy.

Always behind the scenes of Adrienne’s rise to iconic “scream queen” is the introspective girl, facing her fears to develop her concert singing career, searching for self-knowledge, the right guy, and happiness as a wife and mother with a very busy career—and always pushing the boundaries.

WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of Hollywood memoirs, young artists seeking the secrets to success, every starstruck male who was older than thirteen when Maude’s daughter Carol popped into our living rooms, every woman who could use a touch of the encouraging warmth of a friend, anybody who needs a rip-roaring good laugh— or fifty.

“This book will make you laugh, cry, and just root for the skinny little girl with glasses and bushy hair who became a beautiful woman, mother, wife and a darned good actress.” —Electric Review

----

Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but hardened mother of seven Fionnuala Flood plans on serving hers up frozen. Or so she thinks.

The bells are ringing out in Derry, Northern Ireland, as the dirt-poor Floods and the rich and entitled Riddells prepare for the pairing in matrimony of their families and a bridging of the gap between the two sniping communities. But some are not best pleased, and it might be more a case of For Whom The Bell Tolls.

What is the price to be paid for a mother's love? For daughter Dymphna and son Lorcan, dangerously high. Fionnuala is already furious Dymphna has put her arch nemesis, Ursula Barnett, on the wedding list. Then beloved son Lorcan, fresh out of prison, announces he's emigrating to the USA. He'll get there. Unless Fionnuala gets her way.

In Wisconsin, Ursula and husband Jed will find a trip to Derry difficult, as Jed's gambling has them teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. The last chance to save their floundering beef jerky business will be to appear on Attack of the Killer Investors! But Fionnuala has ripped up their invitation, in any event. When they hear shocking news of Dymphna's death, getting the investment from the TV show is essential.

Throw in a rabble of geriatric religious fanatics, poisonous ham hocks, an X-rated wedding cake, a gown from Hell, mix with rivers of drink, intolerance, jealousy and shame, and you have Best Served Frozen, a rip-roaring tale jam-packed with dark humor.

Cover by Marco Maldera

It's the punch you don't see coming that drops you. Any fighter can tell you that. And Mickey Watts isn't just any fighter; he's one of the best in mixed martial arts, a top contender who seems to have it all: looks, brains and rich girlfriend who's crazy about him. The fact his family is mobbed-up to its Irish-Italian eyebrows has never been a problem...until Mick throws one punch too many and finds that some debts can only be paid in blood.

This sexy billionaire needs a bride, and he’s not above buying one!

The last thing Kinsley Taylor was looking for was a husband, but she can’t afford to turn down the deal Sullivan is offering. Not when becoming his bride will give her the money she needs to save her brother.

Faith. Trust. Triumph.

Can a man who only wants to leave find a reason to stay?

Rebecca Draper is hoping second chance at life will get her back on track. With a failed marriage behind her and a young son to support, this former beauty queen has no time for Hudson Blackwell—yet running into him stirs up things. Hot things. Wild things.

Can a woman who wants love be brave enough to take a chance on a man who could destroy her?

YUMMY AS A CUPCAKE…AND GUARANTEED CALORIE-FREE!

Creepy meeting place aside, the last thing you’d expect to find at a ladies’ diet club meeting would be a dead body, right? And although voluptuous amateur sleuth Missy DeMeanor has seen more than one body, this is different. This is one of her oldest friends.,

Having tried almost everything – she’s exercising at the gym and she eats less than her petite best friend Noreen, but she seems to gain weight just standing still – finally, Missy’s decided to accept the invitation of her oldest friend Karen, to join a secretive, ladies only, invitation-only, contract-required diet club. But at Missy’s first meeting, Karen, who is obviously ill, is discovered dead on the bathroom floor. The police decide that her death was caused by an extreme diet and quickly close the case.

As hard as it is to accept her friend’s death, Missy just cannot bring herself to believe that Karen would have put her health at risk with a weight-loss plan Karen herself described as “the craziest diet” she’d heard about. Missy keeps insisting Karen would never knowingly have ingested a harmful substance-– so who gave it to her? But her ex-boyfriend, Grove City’s chief detective Tyler Brock, isn't listening. And so, given Tyler’s refusal to dig deeper, it's up to her to solve the mystery if anyone’s going to.

Through the haze of her own grief, she bravely-– “recklessly”, in Tyler’s words-– probes the complicated turns Karen’s life has taken over the years she and Missy remained close at heart, but geographically removed. And, as in all good murder mysteries, secrets tumble out one after another, making Missy wonder if it's even possible to know another person.

Meanwhile, she still has feelings for Tyler that make her too uncomfortable to be around him, knowing that he’s trying to work things out with his estranged wife. Yet he’s alternately flirtatious and impatient with her endeavors to unmask a killer… almost as if he still cares about her and is trying to protect her.

Like the rest of this series, this delightful cozy is a quick, easy, very fun read with no cliffhangers, on-the-page violence, or graphic scenes. Fans of Gina LaManna, Jana DeLeon, Mary Daheim, and Leighann Dobbs will eat it up and go back for seconds—the whole series goes down faster than a plate of cupcakes and won’t cost you a single calorie.

When a will from her dead father decrees spunky succubus Chloe into the protection of the renowned vampire commander, Tyrian en Kulev, she does what any succubus would do and casts a spell. But when that spell accidentally summons an ancient demon to kill her and her sisters, she knows only one place can keep her safe--Tyrian's castle of death set in the frigid icy snows of Northern Europe. Chloe thought she'd despise Tyrian, but instead she feels a rapidly blossoming tender for him. From the scar running along his cheek, to the bitter chill in his gaze, something about Tyrian makes Chloe want to keep him close until she could learn his true colors.

Leader of the Atal Warriors, Tyrian en Kulev always pays his debts. So, he resigns himself to what should be an elementary task. All he has to do is keep Chloe alive, then, debt paid. But the incredibly enticing succubus comes to him with a deadly demon trying to kill her and an alluringly upbeat attitude that invades his thoughts and soon his heart, whether he likes it or not.

Buy Chains of Frost to see a fun-loving succubus push a mysterious vampire leader to the brink of the wild. With nearly one million books sold, it's easy to see why readers love T. A. Grey's addicting romances.
