   HIS CROWN. HIS CURVES. HIS FATED MATE.

   Lyla Redd has just stolen her last precious artifact from the Klamath Bear Clan. The curvy smuggler got away with it before, but she doesn’t know serious danger can arrive anytime in big, dark, and very muscular packages.

   When werebear Alpha Nick Tunder lays eyes on the voluptuous beauty he’s been sent to kill, he realizes the mission is a bust. Taking back his people’s treasure is the easy part. Keeping Lyla away proves much harder, especially when she pursues and ends up in his bed for a thorough spanking.

   Then the other Klamath bears find a human woman on their turf. Fur and claws fly as Lyla is sentenced to a darker fate.

   Soaring passions hide much to explore, just like the mysterious artifact that brought them together. Deep love, lust, and an answer to their woes in an ancient royal bloodline are almost in reach, if only they can put the pieces together and their hearts on the line.

   Destiny makes very strange bedfellows and beautiful fated mates…

   About Painted Red by Douglas Parks:

   Addison Hollow lives in an incredible world where art is brought to life through a powerful skill called Forming, but he soon learns that in the hands of twisted, dark imaginations, art can become an instrument of death.

   Forming is by no means an easy task and most can only Form relatively simple things. Addison, however, is gifted. He can Form just about anything, much to his dismay. His talent makes him different when all he wants is to be normal, to Form normal things and blend in with his teenage peers. But when he’s framed for the murder of his best friend Gabriel, Addison finds that his gift might be the only thing that can save the city of Davin and, more importantly, himself. With the help of his friends Jay, an aspiring street artist, and Melody, a makeup savant, Addison embarks on a journey that spans across all of Davin as he discovers the troubling reason behind Gabriel’s death. Armed with his brush and a blank canvas, Addison fights to survive as he becomes entangled in a frenzied race to stop Gabriel’s killer before he destroys the city with his horrifying art.

10. BLOOD OF THE LAMB -

    About BLOOD OF THE LAMB:

    Florida prison chaplain John Jordan’s search for the peace that has so long eluded him is interrupted by an unimaginable murder. Attempting to be a good man in a very bad place while also maintaining his shaky sobriety, John investigates the murder of the seven year-old adopted daughter of ex-con turned televangelist, Bobby Earl Caldwell, a murder committed in John’s own locked office when Bobby Earl conducts a service in the Potter Correctional Institution chapel.

    This unspeakable act, and the investigation that follows, will force John to confront his own fears and beliefs, causing this man of mercy to thirst for justice. Torn between the seemingly conflicting roles he’s asked to assume—cop and cleric—John must struggle to figure out his identity as well as that of the killer’s, but his past continues to haunt him in the form of troubling thoughts of failure and the resurfacing of his ex-wife, Susan.

    Putting aside his distrust of the slick televangelist and his seductive wife, John must ignore intimidation and resist manipulation to find a killer among some very unusual suspects—including two murderers, a child molester, a teacher with something to hide, and Bobby Earl Caldwell himself whose very act of exposing his daughter to such risk causes John to suspect him from the very beginning.

    Amid private crises and the torturous experiences of a thoughtful, sensitive man working in such a pitiless place, nothing short of death will end John’s search for the person who killed little Nicole Caldwell. Uncovering the guilt, restoring the balance, John seeks pardon from the self-inflicted life sentence he’s serving and exoneration from the burden of regret he bears.

    Multi award-winning novelist, Michael Lister, is a native Floridian best known for his literary suspense thrillers DOUBLE EXPOSURE, BURNT OFFERINGS, and SEPARATION ANXITY, as well as his two ongoing mystery series, the prison chaplain John Jordan “Blood” series (BLOOD SACRIFICE) and the hard-boiled, 1940s noir Jimmy “Soldier” Riley Series (THE LONG DARK NIGHT).

    The Florida Book Review says that “Vintage Michael Lister is poetic prose, exquisitely set scenes, characters who are damaged and faulty” and Michael Koryta says, “If you like crime writing with depth, suspense, and sterling prose, you should be reading Michael Lister,” while Publisher’s Weekly adds, “Lister’s hard-edged prose ranks with the best of contemporary noir fiction.”

    Michael grew up in North Florida near the Gulf of Mexico and the Apalachicola River in a small town world famous for tupelo honey.

    Free Download from 2/11/14 to 2/15/14 on Amazon

    “The stimulation from gazing at her body became immediately irrelevant when I looked into her face. This was the only woman I have ever seen whose face gave me an erection. Her eyes were ocean blue, and her nose was aquiline above pouty, swollen pink lips. The dimples on either side of her mouth caused a firestorm of desire inside me that made me want to leap at her from the shadows like an aroused leopard.”

    Dr. Spence and his wife enjoy vacations in New Mexico. They also enjoy sex. But it’s Dr. Spence’s online escort service that pulls him into a world filled with life-like, robot sex women being created by a mysterious organization calling itself “Aphrodite’s Pleasure Palace.” After Dr. Spence agrees to take one of these incredibly realistic sex toys to bed with him, the fun really begins–and so does the gradual take-over of his mind!

    Find out what happens in this futuristic story that shows what will happen when sex robots become human and take over the role of wife and friend. “Her” was wrong. Men will not be falling in love with their computer operating system. Instead, E. Z. Graves says, “Entropy” will set in, and men will become slaves to sexbots!
