About Silent Water

It is Christmas 1519 and the royal court in Kraków is in the midst of celebrating the joyous season. Less than two years earlier, Italian noblewoman Bona Sforza arrived in Poland’s capital from Bari as King Zygmunt’s new bride. She came from Italy accompanied by a splendid entourage, including Contessa Caterina Sanseverino who oversees the ladies of the Queen’s Chamber.

Caterina is still adjusting to the life in this northern kingdom of cold winters, unfamiliar customs, and an incomprehensible language when a shocking murder rocks the court on Christmas night. It is followed by another a few days later. The victims have seemingly nothing in common. Gossip, speculation, and suspicion are rife, but the perpetrator remains elusive as the court heads into the New Year.

As the official investigation stalls, Caterina—aided by Sebastian Konarski, a junior secretary in the king’s household—sets out to find the killer. With clues beginning to point to the queen’s innermost circle, the pair are soon racing against time to stop another murder.

Silent Water will be $0.99 from 12/8-12/11/2019

About Ghosts of Guatemala

Who can you trust when corruption and danger are a way of life?

The CIA never left Latin America, and is facing catastrophic blackmail at the hands of an erratic Guatemalan drug lord: the infamous patrón of Antigua – Pablo Puentes. Desperate for a swift solution, the agency calls in their black operative fixer: John Carpenter.

John is a cold-blooded professional ready for the job. But the mission doesn’t have a simple fix. Pablo has a disastrous kill switch in place. John is still haunted by the mysterious death of his best friend who died on a far too similar mission, and now is uncertain about how much he can trust his handler or his sensual partner.

Back at the agency, tensions are running hot as the stench of corruption is growing to a boiling point. If things aren’t put to rights – and soon – the entire mission will go up in flames and take the CIA down with it. Only John Carpenter can bring this drug lord to justice and get the answers he deserves.

Because this mission is personal…

“If you like the relentless tension of Daniel Silva and the gritty reality of Lee Child then you’ll love this first book in the John Carpenter Trilogy!”

The book is discounted to 99cents from the regular $4.99 price from December 3-December 10, 2019.

About A Sin of Sodom

If you liked “50 Shades”, you’ll love “Sin of Sodom”. This book is full of beautiful erotic pictures. It all started when photographer sent an email to a model offering her a paid erotic photoshoot. This one simple email turned into a very complicated raunchy relationship full of emotional ups and downs. “He likes it slow and sensual. He runs his hands over my flat tummy, he is circling my breasts, my nipples. I feel the sweet nectar of my being streaking down. He keeps touching me again and again, igniting me with every pass. I cannot stand it any longer; I am eager for more. I take his hand and lead it lower. Now his fingers move over my happy trail and pass down to my clit. I have an urge to cum, but I don’t want him touching me anywhere else, I want him to make me cum from playing with my clit. His fingers no longer listen to him, his fingers wish to feel my lips. Frustration seeps through me, I put them back, and he still does not know about the plug, it makes it hotter.”

About The History Teacher by Susan Bacon

5-star-rated political thriller by award-winning writer available FREE on Amazon 12/10-12/12 (Kindle book). During the blizzard of 1978, a woman is discovered face down at the edge of her Delaware estate. Nearby, in a deep ravine, a CIA officer lies buried under two feet of snow. Their secret meeting—sabotaged. So begins THE HISTORY TEACHER, Susan Bacon’s can’t-put-it-down debut novel that pays homage to the political thrillers of the 1970s. When a young Columbia University professor gets the call—your grandmother, found dead in the snow—she’s drawn down a rabbit hole of political intrigue and family secrets that harks back to the beginnings of the Cold War. And is forced to confront the truth about her family—and history as we know it. Journalists and reviewers are calling it “fresh and eye-opening” (Emily Yellin), “a satisfying page-turner” (Jesse Walter), “excellent, well-crafted” (Curtis Wilkie), and “a pleasure to read” (Bruce Weber).

About Minty’s Kiss by P.C. Zick

A childhood crush and a lost kitten combine for one sweet Christmas romance in the Smoky Mountains.

When Molly retreats to North Carolina with Gracie, her ten-year-old daughter, she’s surprised to find her childhood crush, Nick, still living in the area. Recovering from a divorce, Molly only wants to carve out a peaceful and happy existence for Gracie in a place where Molly always felt safe as a child.

The morning after her return, Nick, more handsome than she remembered, shows up at her cabin where she spent her childhood vacations. The flush of first love surprises Molly, and Nick is shocked to discover the grown-up Molly.

When Harold, Molly’s old cat, runs out the cabin door and into the woods, Nick discovers the cat lying dead at the base of the tree where Molly always went to read as a child. After burying him under the tree, a broken-hearted Gracie and Molly return to the cabin and discover a gray furry kitty under the porch. Gracie names him Minty.

Gracie refuses to believe her father won’t come back for them, so she resents Nick spending time with her mother and tries her best to pull them apart. One small kitty named Minty helps Gracie accept the love developing between Nick and Molly in time for her first Christmas in the mountains of North Carolina, but only after learning that life doesn’t always turn out how we want.

Author Bio:
P.C. Zick describes herself as a storyteller no matter what she writes. And she writes in a variety of genres, including romance, contemporary fiction, and creative nonfiction. The bestselling author has won various awards for her essays, columns, editorials, articles, and fiction.

The three novels in her Florida Fiction Series contain stories of Florida and its people and environment, which she credits as giving her a rich base for her storytelling. She says her, “Florida’s quirky and abundant wildlife–both human and animal–supply my fiction with tales almost too weird to be believable.”

P.C. writes both sweet and steamy romances. The sweet contemporary romances in her Smoky Mountain Romances, are set in southwest North Carolina. Another sweet romance series, Rivals in Love, contains two books with four more in the works. All six follow the Crandall family of Chicago as the siblings find love despite their focus on successful careers.

Her steamy romances go from Florida to Long Island. The Behind the Love series, set in a small fictional town in Florida, feature a community of people who form bonds as they learn to overcome the challenges of their youth. Her Montauk Romances are set in and around Long Island and feature simple, yet sophisticated beach houses designed with romance in mind. The two books in this set are filled with steamy scenes as love grows and thrives.

No matter the genre of novel, they all contain elements of romance with strong female characters, handsome heroes, and descriptive settings. She believes in living lightly upon this earth with love, laughter, and passion, and through her fiction, she imparts this philosophy in an entertaining manner with an obvious love for her characters, plot, and themes.

About The President’s Daughter

In a narrative of suspense, action, and family secrets Madison Drinker will face the shadow of her own abusive past and the cloak and dagger world of “opposition research” as she risks more than just her life to learn the secret of the President’s Daughter. A real-world masochist, with social ties in the underground world of kink and fetish, Madison hides her emotional instability inside a high-stress and high-dopamine job in the world of opposition research or “oppo” in Washington DC politispeak.

Graveyard humor and a lack of self-preservation propel her into an investigation which will pit Madison and her partner, a former British paparazzi turned foreign correspondent, against the most powerful man in the free world. The ability to endure pain and emotional duress are tested as Madison investigates previously debunked charges that the sitting President, rough-edged former American Gunman reality star William Foster, was involved in sexual abuse of his daughter Kaidence and hired a Baltimore prostitute to roleplay her for bedroom games.

Madison Drinker fights to learn the truth against a backdrop of issues vital and trending in today’s world: sexual countercultures, family abuse, surveillance, demagoguery, privatized intelligence, and an Imperial President.

Squaring off against the President’s private security, headed by a brutal Memphis ex-cop with flexible ethics and near-unlimited resources Madison comes face to face with the truth…and with herself.

Presented by lifelong Beltway insider James Gordon and BDSM and fetish educator and edgeplayer Rebecca Doll, enter a secret world written by people who understand it. From the holdout survivors of Washington’s haute cuisine watering holes to the scarred sidewalks of Baltimore’s Payson Street prostitution district, become immersed in a setting depicted in sharp and atmospheric relief. Crafted with meticulous precision and attention to detail, the story captures the grunge and glitz of Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia without stretching the bounds of politics or straying into science fiction.

About Jingle Bells, Mussel Shells, Murder all the Way by Katie Hagen

Tessa only wanted to focus on helping her assistant, Melissa, find a home for the holidays,

but a jail cell wasn’t what she had in mind…

Christmas in the little pacific northwest town of Coupeville, Washington is Tessa Brown’s favorite holiday. But this year, with her parents out following their dreams as a touring gospel duo, her responsibilities managing busy coffee shop Violet, finding her assistant Melissa living in a car, and her own relationship in a tattered heap on the nearby Oak Harbor Pub floor, Tessa struggles to maintain her usual holiday cheeriness.

When the body of a handsome stranger is found just down a muddy trail from her home, Tessa is about ready to scrap the holiday all together.

Reluctantly leaning on her ex-boyfriend Ben and his many connections for support, and listening to her perceptive rescue pup, Kipsie, Tessa begins to sift through the evidence that seems to point directly to Melissa, at least in the eyes of Detective Cooke, an unforgiving man who wants nothing more than to wrap up the case before Christmas Day.

With a barrage of possible, however unlikely suspects, and a killer stalking the house, Tessa vows to not only follow the clues but her heart as well; no matter where it might lead her.

Jingle Bells, Mussel Shells, Murder all the Way is a cozy mystery novel spinoff from the novella series: A Sweet Reunion Romance by Katie Hagen. This book is meant to be read as a stand-alone novel and possibly the first in a new series. You can also check out the novellas: Charlotte 10 Years Later and Cassie Before the Crash to see where Tessa first appeared!

About Broken Promises

Lamont Blackman had every right to be cynical, angry, and cold. He had been the happiest man on the planet when she was in his life, and she’d seemed happy too. And then, with no note, no explanation, no closure, she’d left. How could she have given him a slice of heaven and apparently cared nothing for him? Well, ‘F’ her! Basketball was all he had now, and basketball was all he was going to give a crap about. Everything in his life was finally coming together, and he was immune to her now. He was immune to all women. No one was getting under his radar and getting an opportunity to destroy him again. No way would he melt like a patsy when he saw her again.

Issa was a woman used to taking care of herself. She had to. The world she lived and fought daily to survive in was violent, unpredictable, and perilous. She was forced to fight for every little ounce of freedom and to not be sucked into the deadly underworld her father controlled. The stolen time with Lamont had been worth every second of pain she suffered afterwards. She knew he hated her, and she did everything to ensure he continued to hate her. If he ever found out the truth, their lives and the lives of their families would be in imminent jeopardy.

The first romance novel I ever read was Cinderella! I devoured Disney's version of romance until I was eleven, and then I discovered Mills & Boons. In those days kissing was the most explicit intimacy disclosed: the hero and heroine went to bed and came out the next day with smiles! I had no idea what happened, but I was intrigued. My mom had shelves and shelves of them. Over the long summer breaks, I barely left my bedroom! My busy parent had no idea what I was up to. I've always been fascinated with love stories. I started writing in college, but I never expected anyone would ever read my whimsical musings. LOL! Now years later, after husband and kids, and a solid career in finance I've started publishing those early ideas.
