Five full-length Regency romance stories about the Duke of Westbrook’s four daughters. Pushed into marrying to secure their future, each daughter’s path to love and marriage is filled with obstacles, misunderstanding, and sometimes, danger!

A Rogue for a Lady – The story of Amelia, the eldest daughter, as she navigates her way through the London marriage mart and finds that the man she wants has secrets he is too ashamed to tell. A scheming cousin, blackmail and family responsibilities push Amelia into a spiral of confusion and a sense of betrayal. When all is finally revealed, she must decide what to do with the man who holds her heart – and choose whether love can forget the sins and mistakes of the past.
My Restless Earl – Jessica, a free spirited woman, who doesn’t want to marry and prefers to continue with her life at her father’s country estate. But George, a military man, catches her eye, and love starts to creep into their hearts. A dastardly betrayal put her life in danger. Can she and George manage to save her and find true love?
Rescued by an Earl – Jacintha is a beautiful woman who prefers to to sit out from the dances and watch other people. She knows she must marry but she still remembers the close friendship she had with her childhood friend, Harry. But Harry is a rake and thus she allows Lord Slate to court her. Can Harry reform in time to save her from a disastrous marriage or worse?
In the Arms of an Earl – The youngest daughter, Harmonia, is sweet and sensible. She thought she would take care of her father as he grew old but he insists she must marry as well! Perhaps she will marry her distant cousin, Luke? When she meets blue-eye Phillip, a newly-instated earl, she falls for him quickly. But is Phillip a gentleman or a rake? What about her father’s wish for her to marry Luke? Harmonia can’t avoid a tricky path to a love-filled future, just like her sisters!
The Reluctant Marquess – Marquess Hugh Seaworth is far too busy enjoying himself in London to think about matrimony. The future duke is quite put out by his father’s request to sponsor the daughter of an old friend, Miss Molly Newton, for a London season and help her find a husband. The more he becomes involved with Miss Newton, the more he discovers that it is not only his mind that is caught up with her – it is his heart. Miss Newton, however, shows no inclination towards him and, when one of her suitors proposes, Hugh finds himself caught between his duty and his heart. Which one will win out in the end?

Book Description:
Being Navy SEALs was everything to new partners Shelby Ryder, a Kansas farm girl, and Earl Bernstein, a hypochondriac from big city Chicago. They completed their first mission successfully, but okay, in the process they accidentally blew up an F-16, wiped out a regiment of Cuban soldiers and caused an international incident. Despite the little hiccups, they were expecting a hero’s welcome, so they were stunned when the unscrupulous administration in Washington duped, dumped and, worst of all, de-SEALed them.
The Navy always thought for them. Now they have to think for themselves. And that’s a scary thought.
They’re downhearted but not defeated. Despondent but not done. No, embers of the SEAL spirit still burn within them, and along with their de-SEALed commanding officer, eighty-five-year-old Bertha “Bull” Gompers, they set out to clear their names, be re-SEALed and prove to the world that they’re not zeros. They’re heroes.
In their minds anyway.

Book Description:
“Mr Goodfellow Senior reeled back in horror.
A Quest?
He tried to put his fractured visions together in his mind: an evil wizard, a questing princess. And somehow his boy, Jonathan, was mixed up with them. That was bad enough, but more than that, the magical fire worried Mr Goodfellow Senior. Traditionally, fire was the sign of dragons and power untamed.
A word came to his lips—and remained unspoken—Asumgeld. For one hundred and twenty-five years, Capro had tried never to think of her. For one hundred and twenty-five years, he’d avoided the fate of his fellow dragon-hunters.”
Sylvalla escapes Avondale castle, and the life of a princess, in search of the adventure she’s always wanted.
Once found, adventure bites back.
Fortunately Sylvalla is not alone – Unfortunately, her new-found companions are less than heroic. Jonathan would rather make money. Dirk would rather live a long and happy life. And at 150, Old Capro would rather stop gallivanting about and harangue unsuspecting students about his glory days over a nice cup of tea.
Quest has everything, heroes, monsters, chases, escapes and a complete lack of true love.

Book Description:
Ivy Granger Psychic Detective box set includes Books 1-3 and Bonus Prequel short story.
Enter an award-winning urban fantasy world where monsters roam the streets and things aren’t always what they seem. Demons, ghosts, vampires, and necromancers–Ivy dodges the city’s deadliest villains while solving its darkest cases. Will she save the day or die trying?
FROSTBITE (Bonus Prequel: Ivy Granger #0.5)
Everyone knows that there’s no such thing as ghosts, but when a client claims that her house is being haunted, Ivy tries to keep her mind open and her weapons handy. If her psychic gifts and recent cases have taught her anything, it’s that you’re better off arming yourself for the unexpected.
Anything is possible in Harborsmouth.
SHADOW SIGHT (Ivy Granger #1)
Ivy Granger’s second sight is finally giving her life purpose. Ivy and her best friend Jinx may not be raking in the dough, but their psychic detective agency pays the bills–most of the time. Their only worry is the boredom of a slow day and the occasional crazy client–until a demon walks through their door.
Demons are never a good sign.
GHOST LIGHT (Ivy Granger #2)
Ivy Granger is back, gathering clues in the darkest shadows of downtown Harborsmouth. With the lives of multiple clients on the line, she’s in a race against time. Ivy finally has a lead to the whereabouts of the one person who can help her control her wisp abilities, but will she put the needs of her clients above her own?
If Ivy doesn’t find a solution soon, she could wind up a ghost herself.
BURNING BRIGHT (Ivy Granger #3)
Things are not going well at the offices of Private Eye. Jinx is having demon problems, the city is overrun with pyromaniacal imps, and Ivy’s wisp powers are burning out of control, attracting the attention of both the Seelie and Unseelie courts. It’s the worst possible time for the Green Lady to call in a favor, but Ivy’s bound by her deal with the glaistig. Too bad there’s no wiggle room in faerie bargains.
Ivy must rid the city of imps, keep Jinx from murdering her one solid link to Hell, and fulfill her bargain with the Green Lady–with sidhe assassins hot on her tail.
Just another day’s work for Ivy Granger, psychic detective.

He wants to keep her safe. She needs to keep her secrets. With danger looming and lives at stake, a former Navy SEAL must find a way to protect his client—and guard his heart.
THE PAMPERED DAUGHTER of a Hollywood movie tycoon is keeping secrets, forcing the former Navy SEAL who’s providing security to earn her trust before he can save her life.
ASHLEY HATHAWAY has been a recluse ever since her father was killed in a car crash a year ago. As she prepares to step back into the spotlight to attend an event on the west coast—her father’s good friend works behind the scenes to provide security without her knowledge. Rad’s instincts tell him something isn’t right, but even he doesn’t know everything that Ashley is hiding.
WHEN FORMER NAVY SEAL Jarrod “Lance” Landis becomes the newest member of the Phantom Force Tactical team, he thinks he has it all. But being the “new guy” comes with a price—like being forced to accept a mission to protect a pampered heiress that none of the other top-tier operators would want.
Lance soon discovers that Ashley Hathaway is a far cry from the jet-setting, glamor-and-glitz type he assumed she was—but that doesn’t make the mission any easier. The five-day security op that seemed like a waste of his talent turns into a fight to stay alive, as Ashley slowly reveals the details of her father’s latest project, and the mysterious circumstances of his death.

About the Author:
I live in Texas now, but I grew up in Cleland Heights, a mixed ethnic neighborhood in Wilmington, Delaware, that sat on the fringes of the Italian, Irish and Polish neighborhoods. The main characters of Murder Takes Time grew up in Cleland Heights, and many of the scenes in the book were taken from real-life experiences.
Since this is a bio some of you might wonder what I do. I’ve had a successful 30 year career as a headhunter, recruiting top talent for some of the world’s best companies–Apple, Johnson & Johnson, Abbott Laboratories, and many high-profile start-up companies.
During that time I’ve completed more than 500 searches, which translates into evaluating, editing, and writing thousands of resumes. I have also interviewed and done reference checks on more than 1,000 candidates. I’ve learned what companies want to see on a resume–and, perhaps more importantly–what they don’t. You’ll find a lot more information in the book and on my website.
Getting back to the bio–when my kids were young I left the Northeast and settled in Texas, where my wife suggested we get a few animals. I should have known better; we now have a full-blown animal sanctuary with rescues from all over. At last count we had 45 animals–11 dogs, a horse, a three-legged cat and 5 others, and 26 pigs.
Oh, and one crazy–and very large–wild boar, who takes walks with me every day and happens to also be my best buddy.
In the evening I help my wife tend to the animals, and at night–late at night–I turn into a writer.

Book Description:
THE EXCITEMENT OF AN ACTION THRILLER AND THE SWIRLING EMOTIONS OF A MAINSTREAM PSYCHOLOGICAL NOVEL…
VOLUMES 2 and 3 of Kimberly Amato’s heart-stopping Jasmine Steele series are collected in this nicely priced bundle, and if we do say so, this series has it all—a tough-as-hell yet complex female cop and the kind of pulse-pounding plots you might find in a psychological thriller. Jazz is very much a family kind of woman—and her family’s a bit unconventional; that is, what’s left of it. She’s had a lot of heartbreak; by now, she can pretty well stand up to anything. Readers will love her as much for her compassion and loyalty to friends and family as for her bravery. Still, we feel we should mention:
Jasmine’s not for the faint-hearted. But hard-boiled police procedural fans will rejoice.
MELTING STEELE, BOOK TWO
Still recovering from a murder attempt, tough New York homicide detective Jasmine Steele is slowly coming to grips with a world that’s seemingly gone mad. But her short-lived peace of mind is once again shattered by a case…an entire family’s been viciously murdered. The mother’s throat was slit while trying to call for help and the father was shot in the chest, then gruesomely sliced up while still alive, like a scene from a horror film. Also found, the body of their young son, about Jazz’s son’s age, left in the closet with a snapped neck.
But it’s the remaining clues to a missing fourth victim–a teenage daughter named Kaley–that leave her reeling. Kaley’s seemingly disappeared without a trace. Soon Jazz discovers that the family had plenty of disturbing skeletons in its closet. Skeletons possibly warranting hiring a hit man on the Internet…
Ever-fearless Jazz jumps head-first into the opaque abyss of corrupt New York finance and down the dangerous and secretive rabbit hole of the Deep Web. Can she manage to trace a cold-blooded killer, using only the most untraceable technology known to man?
BREAKING STEELE, BOOK THREE
Gory video game violence comes home to roost when two store managers are brutally murdered in the back room of their gaming shop just before peek holiday season. The corporation that owns the store is doing everything it can to keep the matter quiet—but they won’t succeed if detective Jasmine Steele cracks the case. Because said corporation has plenty of skeletons in its closet; and one of them is far too familiar to our heroine… And it comes with a captivating (although, as Jazz might say, a slightly “nerdy”) bonus: a heaping dose of the fascinating ins and outs of video game subculture. Which is far more murderous than the average reader would suspect.

It’s 1950 in Australia where Eva Muller and Zoe Lambros have found peace in a land that doesn’t understand or tolerate their love. Their peace comes to an end when the brutal Greek Civil War ends and brings unwelcome news for Zoe. She must return to Greece to reclaim her family property or lose her inheritance. While Eva is worried Zoe will lose her birthright, Zoe fears the trip will expose Eva to the pain of revisiting Larissa, the town that almost killed her during World War II. They are aware that the journey home will be filled with painful memories that have haunted them for years.
Their journey to Greece is one of anticipation and fear as they board the ship to take them back. A fortuitous job opening on the ship for Eva gives her the opportunity to make their journey a far more comfortable passage but their mysterious benefactor takes an unexpected interest in them – an interest that is more than what it seems.
While in Larissa, Eva and Zoe find themselves back to where they first met and the town is living up to its reputation for unwanted surprises when a woman from Eva’s past is revealed — a woman with extraordinary paranormal powers of visions through time. Who really is this woman? How could she foresee events so far into the future? What are the implications for Eva and her future with Zoe?

Book Description:
A KISS TO KILL FOR…
Brandy Alexander’s the real deal–yes, that’s her real name and she’s not even a stripper, although her best friend Julia is. Brandy still lives with her parents in the Irish Channel and she’s sort of semi kind of engaged to the boy next door, who’s—what else?—one of NOLA’s finest.
In fact, Dante, the BF, is such a thoroughgoing New Orleanian he always manages Mardi Gras parade duty on his own block. So you’d think Brandy might be a little self-conscious when a suave smoothie in one of the gentlemen’s walking clubs mesmerizes her into a big fat Mardi Gras smooch right in front of him. But not a bit. Because after all, it’s Mardi Gras, and also for another good reason— “that kiss was long, slow, hot—unlike any kiss I’d ever had in my life.” She makes a date to meet Mr. Good Kiss after the parade (Yes! Right in front of Mr. Right Next Door) but –horrors–arrives just in time to see him get shot. Although fortunately not shot dead. Before he passes out, he pulls her close and whispers, “Save Isabella.”
And then, in case you aren’t yet in the carnival spirit, the fun begins. You’d think a mystery that begins with an eligible man taking a bullet might be a bit dark, but Colleen Mooney has something else in mind—something like a screwball chase all over town, from Lee Circle to the Lakefront, with a stop at Charity Hospital, and finally to the French Quarter’s favorite gay dance club, at all times accompanied by Schnauzers, one of them named Geaux Cup.
Jiff, the captivating kisser, (aka Mr. Possibly Right), has enemies, of course, and, oh, by the way, he and Brandy get kidnapped, but this one’s much more about the offbeat inventive fun than the mystery. And the romance, of course. The real adventure here is swanning around town with Brandy and her crazy krewe—much of it canine and seriously cute.

Book Description:
In 1974 a disenfranchised young man from a broken home set out to do the impossible. With a hundred dollars in his pocket, a beat up cavalry saddle, and a faraway look in his eye, John Egenes saddled his horse Gizmo and started down the trail on an adventure across the North American continent. Their seven month journey took them across 11 states from California to Virginia, ocean to ocean.. As they left the pressing confinement of the city behind them, the pair experienced the isolation and loneliness of the southwestern deserts, the vastness of the prairie, and the great landscapes that make up America. Across hundreds of miles of empty land they slept with coyotes and wild horses under the stars, and in urban areas they camped alone in graveyards and abandoned shacks. Along the way John and Gizmo were transformed from inexperienced horse and rider to veterans of the trail. With his young horse as his spiritual guide John slowly began to comprehend his own place in the world and to find peace within himself. Full of heart and humor, Egenes serves up a tale that’s as big as the America he witnessed, an America that no longer exists. It was a journey that could only have been experienced step by step, mile by mile, from the view between a horse’s ears.

Book Description:
Anna Dahlberg grew up eating dinner under her father’s war-trophy portrait of Eva Braun.
Fifty years after the war, she discovers what he never did—that her mother and Hitler’s mistress were friends.
The secret surfaces with a mysterious monogrammed handkerchief, and a man, Hannes Ritter, whose Third Reich family history is entwined with Anna’s.
Plunged into the world of the “ordinary” Munich girl who was her mother’s confidante—and a tyrant’s lover—Anna finds her every belief about right and wrong challenged. With Hannes’s help, she retraces the path of two women who met as teenagers, shared a friendship that spanned the years that Eva Braun was Hitler’s mistress, yet never knew that the men they loved had opposing ambitions.

Book Description:
The robots were good. The Russian thugs were evil. But then. . .
It’s 2050, and self-learning Helper androids have proven invaluable servants to humans, making their lives easier, even saving them.
But to their horror, retired SEAL Patrick Jensen and his wife Leah discover that rogue programmers and Russian mobsters are reprogramming the trusted robots to murder their wealthy owners. The crooks then skillfully disguise the lifelike robots as their dead masters, directing the robot mimics to plunder the victims’ estates of billions of dollars.
But neither the corrupt engineers nor the greedy thugs realize what catastrophe they have wrought in giving the robots autonomous abilities.
They have created a new race of networked, “hive-minded” sentient creatures driven by a relentless survival instinct: the Neuromorphs.
Patrick must enlist his SEAL team to marshal their combat skills and futuristic firepower to thwart the seemingly unstoppable evolution of a new dominant species on the planet
