NEW RELEASES
Soul Bound
Leisl Leighton
Book 1, Dawn of the Curse
Released: 27 September
Can soulmates survive a darkness threatening to tear them apart?
The Darkness is banished and a new era has begun for the Were and the Covens, bound together by the magical Pact that keeps them safe.
Spirit-talker Morghanna Cantrae doubts she’s strong enough to lead her Coven into their new life with Pack MacCrae, especially given she can’t even persuade her beloved yet stubborn sister, Morrigan, that the Pact is the only way forward.
Then a mysterious traveller, Alistair Sinoir, arrives. With one glance, they are mated. But the mating is the least of the wonders he brings. He carries the proof that the Pact is right: he is both Were and Warlock, and he is the strongest of them all.
But before Morghanna can reveal this revelation to anyone, the Darkness they thought banished strikes in the most devastating of ways. To save the pack, her Coven and her mate, Morghanna is forced to face the truth of her own powers … even if it costs her what she thought never to have: her love.
Set 500 years ago, Soul Bound is book 1 of the Dawn of the Curse Series, the much-anticipated start of a sweeping new prequel saga in the award nominated Pack Bound Series.
If stories of wild magic, shifters, witches, fated mates, terrible secrets, meddling Goddesses and the struggle against evil, all mixed with a large dollop of sexy romance are your idea of story heaven, then this is the book for you.
Start your journey into the Dawn of the Curse Series and discover the long-forgotten secrets of the ancient witches and shifters by binding yourself to a copy of Soul Bound today.

Hades
Anna Hackett
Book 2, Sentinel Security
Released: 20 September
He’s a gorgeous former Interpol agent.
Tall, dark, and Italian.
He’s way out of her league, but when danger explodes around them, she finds herself on the run with the sexiest man she’s ever met.
CIA analyst Gabbi Hansley has a plan—escape her dysfunctional family, excel at her job, and build a safe, stable life for herself. Boring? Maybe, but she likes boring. When tasked to meet a security contractor and give him an encrypted drive, a quick, simple job goes terribly wrong.
Gabbi didn’t expect her contact to be the hottest man she’s ever seen. Nor was she expecting the bad guys who turn up and spray the restaurant with bullets.
After years of wading through the muck, dismantling mafia crime syndicates in Italy, former Anti-Mafia officer and Interpol agent Matteo “Hades” Mancini likes his job at Sentinel Security. He also knows he has nothing permanent to offer any woman, so he keeps things fun and temporary.
But when his dangerous past rears its head, he finds himself trapped with the tough, no-nonsense Gabbi, and on a second glance, he sees past her sensible exterior to the tempting woman beneath.
Now Gabbi and Matteo are in a race for survival. While they work to track down who’s after them, attraction burns hot and bright. Gabbi knows a man like Matteo won’t be interested in her for long, and she asks him to show her all the things she’s been missing in the bedroom. But the possessive need to keep her safe is growing in Matteo, and soon he has two mission objectives: take down the bad guys, and convince Gabbi Hansley that she’s his.
The Protector
Anna Hackett
Book 2, Norcross Security
Released: 21 September in audio format
For a ballerina in the line of fire, the only man who can keep her safe is a scarred, battle-hardened soldier.
One minute Saskia Hawke is dancing on stage, and the next she’s been abducted by a very wealthy, very powerful man with connections. Whisked away to a country estate, she’ll do anything to escape, and prays the former soldier she can’t stop thinking about will come to rescue her.
What she doesn’t know is that her disappearance will light a protective fury inside Camden Morgan, and he’ll tear down the country to find her.
After a final mission leaves former Ghost Ops soldier Camden Morgan injured, scarred, and riddled with guilt, he comes home to San Francisco. Surrounded by his family and working at Norcross Security, he still can’t settle. He definitely knows he’s too broken to offer anything to the beautiful, raven-haired Saskia.
When she goes missing, Cam knows something is very wrong. He’s the man with the right skill set to bring her home, even as he knows he must protect her from himself and push her away.
But saving Saskia is just the beginning, as her abductor isn’t letting go of his obsession. Cam must go all in, be the protector Saskia needs, and risk his scarred heart. With the help of his brothers and Norcross Security, not to mention Saskia’s dangerous brother and his team, they’ll put everything on the line. And for Saskia, she’ll fight with everything she has to survive…and to prove to Cam that he’s capable and worthy of love.

Book 5, With Love, From Kurrajong Crossing
Released: 22 September
They’ve known each other for years…
Born and raised on adjacent family vineyards, and inseparable since childhood, there’s not much Belle Davis and Dante Casellati don’t know about each other. That crush Belle had on him in her teens? Dante knows about it. Dante’s confirmed bachelor stance? Belle’s heard it all before. And each believes the other is happy with the status quo.
Used to pushing aside her own dreams and desires out of duty to her ailing mother, Belle dismisses all hope of her and Dante ever being in the same place at the same time emotionally, until Dante’s prodigal brother returns to Kurrajong Crossing and makes a play for her. Dante’s jealousy finally prompts him to act on the attraction to Belle he’s been ignoring for years. Taking their relationship one step further, life is bliss…until tragedy strikes Belle’s family. As tensions rise and hope of a happy outcome fades fast, Belle’s guilt estranges her and Dante for the first time in their lives.
Can they salvage their love, or will harsh words and the fear of truly letting one another in ruin everything?

Yet Canberra holds more than just memories of an unwanted marriage. It’s where her sister was murdered, and the man responsible was never caught.

The race to claim Agrona’s Claws continues…
Agrona’s claws—three godly artifacts that, when used together, have the power to either extend darkness or utterly banish it—were deliberately hidden eons ago so that no man or woman would ever again wield them. But nothing stays hidden forever, and the Crown of Shadows was recently unearthed and stolen, despite Bethany Aodhán’s best efforts to stop it.
Now Beth and her brother Lugh must seek out the Sword of Darkness before those intent on destruction can reunite two of the three Claws and unleash chaos.

Because the forces of darkness are gathering momentum, and its origin lies closer to home than any of them guessed.
