About Finding Lexie (SEAL Team Hawaii Book 2)by Susan Stoker

Lexie Greene hasn’t thought about Pierce Cagle in years. So when the popular boy she knew in high school shows up in the middle of the Somali desert, part of the SEAL team rescuing her and a coworker from kidnappers, she’s more than a little shocked. But her surprise turns to awe, then awe to respect…and attraction…when he saves her not once, but twicebefore they make it safely back to a US Naval ship. Before she can blink, he’s gone from her life again, but not before an emotional goodbye and a promise to keep in touch.Pierce “Midas” Cagle hasn’t thought about Lexie in years. Though he’s not surprised in the least to learn that the shy, kind girl he knew is now an international aid worker, serving the poor both at home and abroad. His attraction to the woman she’s become, however…that’s definitely unexpected. He hates leaving her behind after his mission, but Midas is more thrilled than he can say when she chooses the Hawaiian branch of Food For All for her next assignment.Their chemistry is just as strong as it was in Somalia, and neither Lexie nor Midas has ever been so happy. Nor could they possibly suspect someone is outraged that Lexie made it out of the desert alive.** Finding Lexie is the 2nd book in the SEAL Team Hawaii Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

About Five Moons: Convolute

The epic tale of the Five Moons continues as the story drops you right into the middle of the action with a gang of interplanetary mobsters hunting down a Special Forces agent in the streets of Habston determined to kill him. It quickly becomes a running gun battle as Dallas Blake and the crew of the Five Moons tries to save him.
So, Special Forces formed a plan to hire the Five Moons to secretly deliver their agents to Daggan-7. Their plan would end this business with the interplanetary gangsters once and for all.

The journey began with good intentions, but the alien mysteries of the Five Moons were once more to threaten the crew and strand the ship in dense space. The only clue as to how they would survive was a cryptic error message… but where did it come from or who?

The Five Moons did survive to deliver their Special Forces agents secretly to Daggan -7. The crew of the Five Moons were officially noncombatants in this strike that was to decapitate the interplanetary gang, but there are no noncombatants in a war zone. Dallas Blake soon found himself with no other choice but to rescue his Special Forces agents himself.

Even worse, Dallas found his ship caught up in an even larger scheme to take over Daggan-7 by an old nemesis of Special Forces. It would be touch and go right down the end to get the Five Moons off of Daggan-7 to safety.

However, even that did not work out as planned either. The Five Moons had escaped from the hands of one villain only to encounter one even worse when Dallas Blake runs face-to-face into the woman responsible for the death of his entire family during the war.

The plot of this tale twists and turns as it weaves its way through your mind. Five Moons: Convolute will keep you turning pages right down to the last and leave you questioning your own sanity as you wonder what comes next, but you will find no spoilers here as the plot takes one more turn.

About Five Moons: Entangled

Five Moons: Entangled has the full flavor and robust action of a guns blazing western, but the core of the story revolves around the alien mysteries of this ship and the Codex that the Anoza hid deep within its core.

Evil men, human, conspired to have a starship destroyed to hide the evil they had done. They intended for its crew to disappear forever. In all of that chaos at the end of the war, the Anoza somehow found me. They chose me to save the Five Moons. I didn’t know any of that when I bought a ship that was never meant for sale. I didn’t know any of that when I first stepped foot upon its decks and changed everything… but I know it now. And save the Five Moons? Damned straight, I will.

I am Dallas Blake, outworlder to the nines. By the end of the war, I had lost everything. I went to the Union Fleet space docks to buy a war surplus scout-class ship, to start my whole life over. The Five Moons was nothing I expected but everything I needed. And you know that crew they thought was lost and gone forever? Well, think again. Now the crew and I go wherever we are needed. Making a difference starts with us.

Just because I am paranoid does not mean that people are not out to get me. Sarsen Tabbot sent her most fearsome killer ship, a Dark Star, to kill me and destroy my ships. That only makes my point. Mankind was cast into the outer darkness because of the evil in our hearts. So, as you can see, I have my work cut out for me.

Through all of this, I was inexorably drawn into the Codex that the Anoza had hidden deep within the Five Moons. The Codex is Anoza quantum technology a million years more advanced than human, but where is it taking me? And why me?

About Featured Book: Wild Happy: Dreams, Crises, and Acceptance in the Jungles of Papua New Guinea by Ryan Casseau

(Book Kindle Promo price through August 31)

At 24, Ryan Casseau set off for the most remote jungle he could find, the farthest corner of Papua New Guinea, alone, and without a single contact in his future home.

It was powered by 10 years of fantasy, but it wasn’t a vacation. He was there to collect plants in an effort to discover medicines from those who rely on the forest.

But while he was worried about getting work done and getting back to civilization, something unexpected got in the way: everything.

In equal parts humorous, unnerving, uplifting, and reflective, “Wild Happy” fiercely captures a bewildered boy and the lost world that took him in, shared its hidden wisdom, and changed his life forever.

About The Malevolent by P.F. Roquelaure

Griffin Andrew Meade, a gay 18-year-old teenage boy, moves to Bartholomew Bay, Maine with his family in 1983. They arrive at their new home Antioch, the ancestral mansion of the wealthy Bartholomew family, and soon discover it is haunted by the spirit of Angelus Bartholomew III, who died when he fell from the Widow’s walk of Antioch in 1919, when he was also 18 years old. Griffin learns through life-like dreams that Angelus committed suicide by leaping from the Widow’s walk, and was not pushed from the Widow’s walk by his abusive father, the powerful Angus Bartholomew, who prevented the public from discussing his son’s death. The ghost of Angelus also reveals to Griffin other details of his tortured life, including with his paramour Lazarus Benedictine, the son of the lighthouse keeper of Bartholomew Bay. While Griffin learns of Angelus and Lazarus’s ill-fated romance, he becomes involved with his first same sex romance, Christian Gutmann, a young man raised in Bartholomew Bay, who knows only part of the story of Angelus’s untimely death. Griffin discovers that he is to a play a vital role in a scheme to re-unite Lazarus, who is still alive, with Angelus in the afterlife. Griffin must convince Lazarus to take his own life during the Summer Solstice, the same day that Angelus killed himself in 1919, in order for his soul to be trapped for eternity in Antioch with Angelus’s soul. Griffin learns that committing suicide is a sin that prevents your soul from going to heaven and this is the reason for Angelus being trapped in purgatory in Antioch. Faced with the decision to either participate in Angelus’s plot or have his loved ones suffer deadly consequences, will Griffin overcome the threats of a preternatural disturbance or succumb to a spirit’s lethal plan?

Spoiler Alert! (read on only if you want to know the ending):
When Lazarus dies from a heart attack on the night of the summer solstice, his soul travels onto heaven, as he has not committed suicide. This enrages Angelus. In his anger, Angelus threatens Griffin, telling him that his family will suffer because he has lost Lazarus once again and will have to be alone in Antioch for eternity. Ultimately, Griffin commits suicide to appease Angelus and save the lives of his family, where his soul will reside with Angelus for eternity. These intersecting stories of Griffin Meade and Angelus Bartholomew III, of the sacrifices we make for our loved ones, are set respectively during the turbulent early 1980’s, when the gay rights movement increased its visibility in reaction to the AIDS crisis, and the earliest years of the 20th century when same sex relationships were not only considered immoral but also illegal.

About Belle Vue

Jealousy. Betrayal. Murder. And a hunger for vengeance that spans the centuries…

“Unexpected twists that I’ve never encountered before in the genre and I absolutely adore the fresh approach. These twists are used throughout the book, taking it in unexpected directions.”—Whispering Stories

History student Alex Palmer is thrilled when his girlfriend, Claire Ryan, buys an apartment in Belle Vue Manor, formerly a Victorian lunatic asylum.

But as Alex begins to discover the dark truth about the asylum’s past, he, Claire, and their friend Marianne find themselves on a nightmarish journey. Each will face the deadly consequences of the evil that began with the construction of the first Belle Vue Manor by an aristocratic French émigré in 1789, as well as the cruelty and satanic practices that continued when it became an asylum for the insane.

As the two strands—past and present—unfold, Alex uncovers a supernatural mystery where revenge is paramount and innocence irrelevant—without being aware of the price he, and those around him, will pay.

About Ruthless Wars

Power plays are hard. Trying to one up the stranger who banged me senseless last night?
Definitely harder.

I was stranded on a deserted stretch of highway late one night.
A stranger with broad shoulders and smoldering eyes rescued me.
Got me back on my way. To my flight out of the country.
And all he asked for in return was a kiss.

That was a year ago.
I never thought I’d see him again.

Imagine my surprise to see those same smoldering eyes flirting with me across a negotiation table.
But I have to focus. Stand my ground. Keep my family’s company safe.
And even though my number’s unlisted, he just texted me.
And his sinful smile keeps daring me to answer it.
But we’re in a crowded boardroom.
With a hundred-million-dollars on the line.
What could he possibly want?
