Second chances can be complicated…
Chloe de Montesse never thought she’d return from exile. Now she has a chance to reclaim the life she fled after her husband was executed for treason. But coming home again isn’t as simple as it sounds. Her magic is rusty, her family want her to wrap her in cotton wool, and Illvyan society views her as a scandal waiting to happen. Worse, her new life keeps throwing her into the path of the man who destroyed her old one.
Lucien de Roche’s magic bares the truth for all to see. He’s used it to serve the empire, but there’s one secret he’s always kept hidden. The fact that he fell in love with his best friend’s wife. And that he’s never quite fallen out again. Now Chloe is back and it’s no secret at all that she loathes him for his part in her husband’s death. A sensible man would forget her…but he’s tired of being sensible. And determined to keep her safe.
When a mission from the emperor takes them both into the wildest heart of the empire, to a country where power and loyalties collide, and old plots simmer back to life, Chloe finds herself dragged back into the past she wants to leave behind. And her only way out might be Lucien. The man she thinks she can never trust. The man she wants to hate. Or hates to want…

Until a deadly warrior turns up unannounced in her room.
Vampire Haze is the muscle of the Fae Guardians elite Cadre of Twelve. He is a spy, a protector of the weak, hammer and sword, a rigid enforcer of rules. He allows no one close to his heart, lest they see the shame driving him. But when he stumbles across a beguiling woman with sad, desolate eyes, he knows he must help her. She calls to him in more ways than one, igniting a passion neither of them can deny, despite the risks.
The Unseelie queen has other treacherous plans for Haze and Peaches.

Now he spends his lonely time longing to be part of the living, once again protecting them from monsters…until one mysteriously washes up on the shores of his lake.
Clarke is human. She's beautiful, feisty, and fierce. She's also the only person who can see him, speak to him, and touch him.
If he hands her over to the Order, she’s his ticket to having his curse removed. Unable to resist the opportunity, he tricks her into a bargain of obedience, never once suspecting his world is about to be turned upside down. The more he learns about this human enemy, the more he realizes she’s not the monster he’s been trained to believe she is. In fact, she’s capable of inciting passion he’d never dreamed possible again. But Clarke has a message from the past…sins are already repeating. This time, if they don’t stop the coming evil, it won’t just be magic that dies. It will be everything.

But they’re never there to finish me off.
Dr. Holloway says I can leave the asylum if I start to take my meds, but I've always hated how they made me feel...and I'm not sure that I agree with them that I'm actually crazy.
Because dreams don’t make you crazy, right?
I've got to start living someday though...so I finally take the plunge and obey so I can get out.
My dreams stop, and the monsters disappear. I’m finally starting a new life.
And that's when he comes...the monster king.
Evidently my little dreams, weren't just dreams. And he and his demon horde were feeding off my lust.
Their glowing eyes, sharp teeth, jagged claws…and big c**ks…
They’re all real.
The Monster King wants me back. I’m their favorite plaything after all.

Non Spec-Fic
The Sheikh's Captive Lover by Mel Teshco (Book 2, Desert Kings Alliance) is expected to be released 28 February 2022.
A sheikh wishing for anonymity. A photographer wishing for great success.
As a freelance photographer Holly Petersen has never shied away from hard work and a little risk. But traveling alone in the desert in a clunky sedan definitely isn’t her best idea. Not when her car breaks down and she’s stranded on a goat track in the middle of nowhere with only sand dunes for company.
Until a ruffian on a camel appears from nowhere like an angel from heaven. A pity he’s no angel. He’s an inebriated devil who expects her complete obedience if she wants to be saved. And staying alone in the desert with little hope of rescue is too much of a risk, even for her.
Hamid Al Wahed was never meant to be the sheikh of his small but prosperous country. That had been his older brother’s life ambition before his sudden death thrust Hamid into the role of leader. Having an unlimited supply of booze and women might be its one saving grace, but even that doesn’t stop him from craving the solitude he needs by camping out in the desert.
It’s there that he stumbles upon a western woman with bright red hair, a death wish and no survival skills, and he realizes he craves even more from his life. And that more is Holly. But first he has to coax her into staying with the fake him…the anonymous savage she imagines he really is.

The Sheikh's Forbidden Wife by Mel Teshco (Book 3, Desert Kings Alliance) is expected to be released 31 May 2022.
She chose to escape a future of tyranny. He has no choice but to take her as his wife.
Sheikha Yasmine Al-Fasih will do anything to escape her soon-to-be-arranged marriage to a vile man older than her father. If that means sleeping with esteemed guest—Sheikh Jamal Qadir—and forcing his hand in marriage, then so be it. Better to live with the mistrust of a fair man than to endure a life with a brutal despot.
Sheikh Jamal is grateful that his routine business trip to discuss trade with his neighboring country’s leader, Sheikh Zameer, is almost over. A quick overnight stay and he’ll be on his way. But on finding a blonde bombshell asleep in his bed all tiredness fades away. Zameer clearly knows Jamal’s taste in women.
When it turns out Yasmine is Sheikh Zameer’s virginal daughter—not one of his many harem women—Jamal is gutted. He’s been setup! Yasmine is forbidden fruit and he took a bite.
There is only one way now to repair the damage. He has to marry the girl. But it doesn’t mean he has to like her. A pity fate always finds a way to have the last laugh.

But as night falls and the guests arrive, Jenna sees a distressed young girl being dragged into the house, and she knows she can’t leave an innocent soul behind.
Staying will risk the case Jenna’s already sacrificed so much for, but innocent lives will be lost if she doesn’t bring this twisted monster down. With the clock ticking, can Jenna save the girl and make it out alive?

Pray for Mercy by D.K. Hood (Book 14, Detectives Kane and Alton) is expected to be released 7 March 2022.
Writing scrawled on the wall of Sheriff Jenna Alton’s office overnight leads her and her deputy David Kane to a small house on the outskirts of Black Rock Falls. Inside, Jenna is devastated to find devoted churchgoer Agnes Wagner lying in a pool of blood, stab wounds covering her lifeless body. What monster would attack a defenceless woman living alone on a quiet street?
With no witnesses and no trace of the killer at the scene, the deadly message written on Jenna’s door is her only clue. But as she races to interview a contractor who recently had access to Agnes’s home, she discovers the wreck of a car on a mountain road, Agnes’s best friend dead inside.
Jenna knows the victims were close friends and she thinks a twisted killer has been watching them, waiting for the perfect time to strike. But before she can make her next move, one of her own team is found unconscious and covered in the blood of a third female victim—a knife inches away from his hand.
Pulse racing, Jenna fires questions at her shaken deputy, who can’t explain why he was in the woman’s house. Could he really be a killer, or is someone playing an evil game with Jenna and her team? The clock is ticking to uncover a dark secret in the past that connects all three victims, but can she work out who is terrorizing her small town before another innocent life is taken?

Caraway left his pacifist family to join the Guardians and became a ruthless protector of Elphyne. He wanted to prove his breed could be more than docile prey, but two years ago, he failed at protecting the most important fae in his life—his best-friend Anise.
When a new mission forces them together on a quest, secrets and desires are revealed. But have they been revealed too late? Even if Caraway can stop Anise from making the worst mistake of her life, no one walks away from the Ice-Witch with their soul in tact.
