During the blizzard of 1978, a woman is discovered face down at the edge of her Delaware estate, a boxer, half-dead, by her side. Nearby, a CIA officer lies buried under two feet of snow. Their secret meeting—sabotaged. When Emma Quinn gets a call in her Manhattan apartment—your grandmother, found dead—she has no reason to suspect foul play. A professor at Columbia University and reluctant heiress, she is drawn into a harrowing intrigue that harks back to the beginnings of the Cold War—and forced to confront the truth about her family and history as we know it.

About Mafia Madame by Alexa Spagnoli

In The Eighties, Las Vegas was an amazing, glitzy, non-stop human circus fueled by booze, gambling, drugs and sex. This amazing scene is the lush backdrop for the story of an eighteen-year old girl walking into a den of thieves with eyes wide open, but oblivious to it all. The story begins with a counterfeiter in Chicago and chronicles his rise to Las Vegas high roller. In his thirties, he is busted for counterfeiting by the first African-American Secret Service agent, Abraham Bolden, appointed to the White House detail by JFK himself. The twisted tale of their connection is chronicled along with the gangster’s rise to major earner for the Chicago Outfit. When the gangster’s son meets the wide-eyed eighteen-year old girl, the story really begins.

Her name is Cyn. In 1984 she arrived in Sin City and walked directly into a web of deception where nothing was as it seemed and no one was who they said they were. In this shadowy world, the barely-legal sex industry was a major source of cash business for the Chicago bosses. Mafia Madame tells the story of the Spilotro’s killers and the bloody trail of mayhem that occurred in the power vacuum left by their death. Vegas was up for grabs and Chicago, Detroit and New York families were locked in a territorial struggle to stake their claim in the Gold Rush that was Eighties Vegas. Cyn and her New York Mafia business rival are locked in a struggle to control the lucrative Vegas sex industry when Cyn comes up with a brilliant plan. Her series of dangerous and bold choices lead to a rich and surprising odyssey of love, family and loyalty.

King Of Kings by Betty Shreffler

I told myself I didn’t want her.
Didn’t need her.
But it was all lies.
I craved her touch.
Craved the way her sweet red lips took away the pain.
Yet I knew I couldn’t have her.
Not when my enemies are determined to put a bullet in my back.
They believe the way to get to me is through her.
Coming for her will be their downfall.
As the President of the Kings MC, there’s one thing I’m known for—doing whatever it takes to protect the ones I love.
I’ll fight until I have nothing left to give.
Until she and my family are safe.
I’m not preparing for battle.
I’m preparing to end the war.
My choices might be the death of me.
But if the scars on my body and heart have taught me anything, it’s that love is worth the sacrifice.

Author Bio:
Luisa Marietta Gold was born in Pennsylvania where she spent a large part of her adult life. She moved to North Carolina after the birth of her only daughter. She published her debut novel, Escape to Osprey Cove, which is Book 1 of The Osprey Cove Lodge series in September 2016. The Osprey Cove Series was born from Luisa’s love of the Rideau Lake region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. She spent many years enjoying the Rideau region while staying in lodges reminiscent of the lodge in her first novel. She currently resides on eleven acres in her North Carolina home near an idyllic lake with her husband and several mixed labs. She spends as much time as possible enjoying the beauty of the lake. Luisa also does acrylic painting. The cover of her debut book which features The Lady Droxell on a Canadian lake was painted by her. It was very satisfying to Luisa to know that she created the entire project. There is a tea room not far from her home where one selects a hat to wear while dining as did Libby and Rosalind in the book. And sometimes they are silly. Luisa’s bio picture was taken there.

About Have Your Way with Me

No one makes me feel like he does.
Which is some shit, considering he ran to the military the minute he graduated high school. Something about living his dreams.
Guess I wasn’t included in that dream.
But I moved on from my brother’s best friend and started a life of my own.
Now it’s time to reconnect with family, and the last person I expect to see his him.
Grown up. Strong. Ripped with muscles. Hot as hell.
It’s not just about butterflies and childhood wishes. I’m drowning in grownup fantasies and passion I didn’t know existed.
I should give him the finger and turn my back, but I can’t.
Five words rush around my mind every time I see him now: have your way with me.
It’s time for a second chance. A last chance. My only chance.

The world is at war, refugees flock to Pandemonium’s gates and rumours have spread of strange, crying creatures in the lawless wastes that make up a majority of the continent.

As its claws sink in, our protagonists have no option but to travel on a muddy, twisted journey that forces them to reassess their own ideologies and their relationships with one another.
