A Sort of Justice, A Commonwealth Counter Terrorist Task Force, Book 1 by P. E. Sibley  

sort justice pe sibleyAbout A Sort of Justice, A Commonwealth Counter Terrorist Task Force, Book 1 by P. E. Sibley

Half-alien, half-human, Mark Praed’s mind-reading powers make him the right man to complete demanding assignments for the Commonwealth Intelligence Service. When his last mission leaves him betrayed and tortured, he faces perils worse than intergalactic traitors and spies: a new job and a partner.
Forced to transfer from CIS to the Commonwealth’s counterterrorist task force, Praed is partnered with Alexandra Lansing. Alex is a by-the-book task force veteran of two years who isn’t fond of change. And the auburn-haired beauty is far from happy working with a partner who can read her mind whenever he feels like it.
Their first operation together is an easy one: Jonathan Reul is suspected of selling arms from The Groves, a resort planet he owns. They are to watch him and discover if task force suspicions are correct.
After working solo for two years at CIS, Praed is finding it difficult working with a partner. Alex wants to micromanage his process of investigation, and her interfering annoys him. Added to that is her intense curiosity about his history. Her constant questions are too invasive for his liking.
But as ghosts from his past rear their ugly heads, the team’s simple observe-and-report operation quickly becomes a life or death battle. Can they come together and apprehend their quarry, or will he slip away?

About the Author
I was born, raised, and educated in Southern California, but over the course of my adult life, I have moved continuously north and east, living in a variety of cities and towns. I now reside outside of Spokane, Washington with my husband, two older dogs, and a cat who is must have been raised by dogs since she acts like one. When I’m not writing or reading, I shovel snow in the winter and work in the garden in the summer. A voracious reader even as a child, I began writing at the age of seven. My first work was a short story concerning the life of an ant, which ended more abruptly than I’d wanted, by a foot. When I’m not writing or reading, I shovel snow in the winter and work in the garden in the summer.
A Sort of Justice is the first in a series of novels about Alexandra Lansing and Mark Praed. The second and third novels, Talon’s Touch and A Cruel Reckoning, will be re-released in the coming months by Dragon Moon Press. The fourth novel, Deceptions and Lies will be published for the first time before Christmas. There are three other novels in the series, in various stages of writing, which will continue the saga.



The Man You Need by Kay Harris  

TheManYouNeedSmallerWebUseAbout The Man You Need by Kay Harris

NEW RELEASE
Book 4 of the ‘Love on Tour’ series
“I want a rock star. But my brother (who is a rock star) is like a giant (and I do mean giant) roadblock to hooking up with any of the hotties he plays with. And now he’s enlisted the help of his stuffy (yet insanely good-looking) tour manager to keep me celibate… Someone get me off this bus!”

Meet Stacey Rush. Stacey isn’t an easy person to love. She’s brash, has no filter between her brain and her mouth, and she has some serious issues with men. But not everything is as it appears to be with this actress, and once you get to know her, it’s impossible not to fall for her.

When Stacey gets dragged along on tour with her big brother, Sean, all she really wants to do is relax and have a good time. But instead, she’s prevented from having her kind of fun by Jack Kliner. As far as Stacey is concerned, Jack is gorgeous beyond belief, but he is also a boring stiff.

In the process of Jack foiling Stacey’s attempts to hook up with various rockers and roadies, she finds herself befriending the surprisingly laid-back tour manager. Unfortunately, Stacey is drawn to Jack in more ways than are appropriate between friends.

But Jack is not her type – not at all. And she can’t have him for keeps. Or can she?

The fourth book in the Love on Tour series explores the stresses of a hurtful past, a loving and suffocating family, and the growing pains of finally discovering one’s true nature, not to mention the ups and downs of stumbling into unexpected love. Meanwhile, we catch up with the beloved members of the Rush-Tolk gang, including the sweet and loyal Mike, who finally gets his man.

Clifftop Rendezvous An Upton-on-Sea Second Chance Romance (Upton-on-Sea Novels Book 1) by Adrienne Clare  

Clifftop-Rendezvous-MediumAbout Clifftop Rendezvous An Upton-on-Sea Second Chance Romance (Upton-on-Sea Novels Book 1) by Adrienne Clare:

Jody and Nick are both ready to start the next chapter in their lives. Jody, at last liberated from a drunken ex-husband and determined to succeed in both her florist business and now in love. Nick having finally come to terms with a tragedy that stopped his life in its tracks has moved to the town in the hope that a new home could herald a new start.
The cliffs above Upton-on-Sea are open and windswept, perfect territory for lonely contemplation of life’s all too tricky twists and turns but could they also be the perfect starting point for a second chance romance?

A feel good contemporary romance with a hint of suspense, perfect for the summer.

Contains some relatively mild sexual references and very occasional naughty language.

Upton–on-Sea is a quintessentially British seaside town, desperately trying not to become a clone of every other coastal resort. However, even the most genteel of summer hideaways can hold secrets, lies and relationships that would shock some of its less worldly wise residents.

Author Bio:
Based in the UK Adrienne writes romance novels, hopefully with a lighthearted touch, often with a humorous tone at times. She is big on family and friends and thinks nothing of actually speaking to them from time to time 🙂
For her a novel is a piece of entertainment, something to have fun with and provide her readers with a satisfying ending but always to mix in a bit of sex and often a suspenseful edge to the story.

By day, I am a boring 9-5, Monday-Friday worker-bee. I wear pant suits and skirts that touch my knees; the casual office stuff.

I transform into my alter ego at night and on weekends. I embrace her; the imaginative insightful dreamer, the creative thinker, the builder of stories. The one who has the mind and discipline to sit for hours at a time learning and creating erotic, scary, drama filled, romantic, traumatic, and murderous stories. Oh, how I love my alter ego. She doesn’t do boring or care what people think of her. She wears what she wants and lets her mind flow freely into forbidden and uncharted places of wonder. Her best quality is her desire to be a source of entertainment for readers, writing in multiple genres; Traditional and Paranormal Romance, Young Adult, Erotica, and Horror.

My past: Born in New Orleans, I grew up on Elm Hall Sugarcane Plantation out-side the small Cajun town of Napoleonville, Louisiana. I proudly served on active duty in the military with deployments to Iraq and Kuwait. After completing my military service, I worked for the Department of Defense, supporting the military in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. I have been lucky enough to travel the world, visiting and touring over twenty-five countries.

A prisoner who doesn’t exist.
A lawyer who doesn’t care.
A secret buried for thirty years.

Sam Williams’ idea of an important decision is whether to have another kebab for lunch. He’s spent ten years running away from other people’s pain, and he’s learned not to look back. Sam needs a client, and for a human rights lawyer with a flexible conscience and an impatient landlord, a high security prison seems a decent bet to find one. But now the bodies are mounting up, the decisions are getting serious, and the pain isn’t someone else’s any more.

Someone wants him dead, the police would like a word, and there’s nowhere left to hide. If Sam wants to stay alive, he’s going to have to stop running and figure out why

But Lux blew in like a summer storm, a Californian cliché I couldn’t get enough of.

I won’t.

Enough lives have been lost already.

I’m caught in his undertow and I can’t turn back.

Author Bio:
David Pandolfe is the author of the Streetlights Like Fireworks and Jump When Ready series. Reading his books, you’ll soon learn that he likes writing stories about psychics, ghosts, unusual settings and characters who approach adventure with a sense of humor. He’s not sure where the ghost obsession came from but he figured he might as well roll with it.

Before becoming a writer, David did a few other things. For example, he was once a bartender in Seattle, a singer/songwriter in a Los Angeles rock band and a college writing teacher in Richmond (not all at the same time, of course). These days, he lives near Richmond, Virginia, with his wife, two kids and a dog who’s terrified of thunder. Not the best situation for their dog since it thunders from spring until fall in Richmond.

Born in 16th century Hungary, Damita wasn’t always known by her current name. A human monster with absolute power, she murdered and tortured for pleasure.

Obsessed with her looks, when her trusted servant Darvulia told her how to reverse any signs of aging, she began bathing in blood. Her servant girls were the source and the bodies piled up.

Never tried because of her name and position, she was walled up in her castle. She lived another four years before succumbing to death. But love would not permit this. She was raised up by the vampire, Anton who had fallen deeply in love with her.

Spanning centuries and concluding in modern day, this is the story of Damita, previously known as Erzsebet Bathory – The Blood Countess.
