DEAD IN BED…WHO YOU GONNA CALL?
Good Irish Channel Catholic school girl that she is, Brandy Alexander’s a true and trusted friend—not to mention something of a detective– so who else would you call if you found a full-blown murder mystery in your bedroom? Exactly. So when Brandy’s best friend Julia, the ex-stripper-turned hotelier, finds her first guest covered in blood, lying half on and half off a broken bed—with Julia’s panties swinging from the chandelier – she gets Brandy on the horn. Cool-hand Brandy assesses the situation, and carries out the only sensible course of action: first she makes a pot of coffee, then she calls the police.
And who should respond but her recent ex-boyfriend, Dante, with a brand new daggers-looking female partner. But wait! That isn’t nearly complicated enough for Noo Awlins, where, after all, everybody knows everybody. Julia’s lawyer is none other than Jiff, Brandy’s new squeeze (and the reason Dante’s the ex-boyfriend).
While Brandy and Jiff try to keep Julia out of the slammer, Brandy’s oldest school chum is getting married, and with eighteen bridesmaids, Brandy can’t escape being recruited, partnered with who else? Her favorite upstanding Italian member of NOLA’s finest – Dante.
As the suspense mounts, the romance blossoms, and not just one– Jiff ‘s looking more and more like Mr. Right: a 100% Class Act, with his own Schnauzer and a soft spot for Brandy’s three. But Dante makes it clear that he doesn’t plan to go quietly; the former Mr. Right Next Door has a few very sexy moves he’s been holding in reserve, which knock Brandy’s socks – and truth be told, her panties–off!

Ribbons of Death (Book 1)
Three months after surviving a deadly riot in Cairo, Timothy Carter is compelled to track down Stella Hunter, a disgraced academic whose book could be the key to deciphering whether the legend of the Peacetaker is more than a dusty myth. She might be a recluse, and people think she’s crazy, but she’s his only hope to find answers to questions he’s been asking himself since receiving the scars that now mar his face.
The Harmony Scroll (Book 2)
Almost a year to date from the time Carter braved a horrible blizzard just to be able to knock on Stella Hunter’s door, the two are following a trail again—this time searching for a mysterious scroll that a few unreliable historians documented in the course of time.

Stella Hunter is an obsessive reader of all myths and legends. She and her long-time boyfriend, Carter, go to visit their old friend and priest at his church. There the journey begins when Carter sees an old Oriental couple pray, then leave the worship decades younger than when they walked in minutes before. Their story surrounds a bizarre and poorly chiseled granite statue delivered to the church. But is it just an ugly statue?

As Gus is drawn further into the conflict between the Cooks and the McNabbs — two families with a grudge going all the way back to Colonial times — he and Camille keep uncovering more questions than answers. Where is the long-lost Cook family treasure? What’s really wrong with Beckett, the McNabb-side member who’s the father of young Jane Cook’s son?

Before long, mounting tension gives way to true danger as people start vanishing. And in the middle of a fast-brewing hurricane, Gus discovers the real secret at the heart of the feud: someone who will stop at nothing to make sure their side wins. Including murder.

Book Description:
By 1000 BCE, Minoan civilization is hovering on the brink of collapse. Weakened by earthquakes and tidal waves, the Cretan empire has become easy prey for marauders from the European mainland. In a desperate attempt to preserve some vestige of their culture, the Minoans hide their greatest treasures where no barbarian can ever find them. Legend has it that the objects are worth a king’s ransom in gold and precious gems. Greatest among them is the Sage Stone which is rumored to give immense power to its possessor.
The Minoan artifacts remain lost for three thousand years until a clue surfaces as to their whereabouts. A secret society known as the Arkana mobilizes to find the relics. The Arkana seeks to collect and preserve artifacts that disprove the patriarchal record of human history, and the recovery of the Sage Stone is vital to that mission. A fanatical religious cult called the Blessed Nephilim is equally determined to capture the Sage Stone and exploit it for a darker purpose.
The quest for the Minoan cache places two rival factions on a collision course with disaster. Only one faction can win. More importantly, only one is likely to survive.
In THE GRANITE KEY, an antique dealer is murdered for a mysterious cipher stone that reveals the location of the Minoan artifacts. The victim’s sister Cassie is stunned to learn of her elder sibling’s double life as an Arkana agent.
Cassie joins forces with the secret society to find her sister’s killer and locate the trove. Accompanied by two field agents, she travels to Crete to hunt for clues unaware that she may be the only living person able to find the coveted treasure. Her task is simple. All she has to do is stay alive. Easier said than done.

Second chances be damned. All Tad wants is to return to his old life, and he’ll do anything for the opportunity. Even make a deal with the devil.

Book Description:
Three smart and sparkling love stories from the Revelry’s Tempest collection. Steamy suspense and action from the first page to the last. If you love irresistible stories with remarkable women, undeniable men, and hold your breath adventure, this box set is for you.
Of Sin & Sanctuary
A lady with a heart haunted by past mistakes. A scarred rake determined to avoid all responsibility. One night of gaming to change both of their fortunes.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Riddled with debt after her husband’s death, Lady Vandestile spent years rebuilding her life—a life free of any entanglements with men that would only betray her. But pity has its place. And after fronting funds to the wayward brother of her dearest friend, Lady Vandestile wakes in the morning to find Lord Alton has lost an enormous sum—enough to threaten the very existence of her exclusive gaming house. Enough to threaten her future. A future she once thought never to have. Demanding payment, or at least a guarantee to use against a loan, Violet is forced to corner the rake—or risk losing the only security she has in life.
Of Risk & Redemption
A past she needs to right. A bargain he has to make. An attraction neither can deny.
A wary widow.
No stranger to love, Lady Desmond is well-versed in the heartache that can accompany it. Burned by her traitorous heart again and again, Cass has determined her life will include only what she can control—and has made her work as the proud proprietress of the Revelry’s Tempest gaming hall her sole mission.
After a reluctant viscount mistakes her for a madam of a brothel, Cass wants nothing to do with the brash American—until she realizes he may be just the key to righting her deepest regret. She strikes a bargain with Rorrick—take her to America and she will sign the land back to him. As the spark between them quickly turns into a flame, Cass resists, as she had sworn long ago to never be careless with her heart again. Once, twice, she had been a fool—but three times would be the death of her. But can a brazen American with a new title batter down the stalwart defenses of a widowed countess?
To Capture a Rogue
One abandoned wife. One rogue soldier. And the twist of fate that can bring them back together, if they dare to allow it.
Her husband lost in the war, Nicolina Callison spent a year grieving for the love of her life. Grief that gripped her until the day her husband walked in front of her on a London street. Alive. Healthy. Strong. And walking into a gambling hall, of all things. In that moment, Nicolina’s grief turned into blinding rage.
Captain Gareth Callison had thought he had hid himself well enough from life—well enough from his wife. But he had miscalculated, and now he had a dagger aimed directly at his head. A dagger tip he knew he had rightly earned by abandoning his wife.

Enter to Win a New Fire Tablet
I just realized it has been four months since we have hosted a giveaway…oops!
How about we kick this one off with one of the recently announced new Fire HD8 Tablet? That’s Amazon’s newest one (announced earlier this month) and you can do a lot more than read a book on it. How about taking a few seconds and enter to win it? I am certain your friends and family would like for you to tell them about it, also!
In order to win the new Fire HD8 Tablet, here are a couple of rules for this giveaway:
The time period is between now and 11:59 p.m. Central Time October 1st (that’s a Monday).
You can enter more than once with several options to win as explained below.
Signing up for the free daily email of the blog’s posts is mandatory (it’s free to receive it, of course) and you can always unsubscribe at any time. The email subscription option will put your name into the hat with five chances to win.
You can also have more chances to win if you refer a friend – one additional chance for each friend you refer for up to ten people. I’m really hoping each of you will forward this on to at least three friends and have them sign up: of course, you can send it to more than three as I can’t think of anyone who doesn’t like to learn about free Kindle books!
You can also earn more chances to win by following the blog on Pinterest or Twitter, or visiting the blog’s Facebook page (more details below).
You must be a resident of the USA to enter.
To enter:
Just scroll down to the “Log in to enter this giveaway” or “Use your Email” section of the box a little further down on this page.
For five chances to win, click on the “Join the Free Kindle Books and Tips Blog Mailing List” option. Click on the “I would like to subscribe or I am already a subscriber” option, then click the “Enter” icon. PLEASE make sure you click the link in the confirmation email you will receive to prove we are not spamming anyone as well as to validate your entry. This option is mandatory in order to win, but you can cancel your free email subscription at any time.
For an additional 10 chances to win, you can refer the giveaway (and the blog) to a friend – one additional chance per friend up to a maximum of ten friends. After you have entered via the method above, a box will appear right below “Enter to Win” titled “Bring Your Friends” that will give each entrant a unique URL you can share with your friends. For each friend that enters the giveaway, you will receive +1 entry into the giveaway: each person can refer up to 10 people. It’s pretty easy as you can tweet, share on Facebook, or email your friends a unique link.
For an additional 15 chances to win, you can visit the blog’s Facebook page or follow the blog on Twitter or Pinterest by selecting the appropriate option – that’s five chances to win for each of these options or an additional 15 chances if you do all three. If you are already following the blog in this manner, click the option anyway as you MUST do that for your additional entries.
For additional chances to win, you can tweet about the giveaway once a day on Twitter – that will give you three more chances to win for each day you tweet about the giveaway.
In return, here is what I will do:
Randomly draw the winner from all of the entries. The winner will have 48 hours to reply to the email sent to them or another winner will be randomly selected.
Promptly order the Fire HD8 Tablet and have Amazon send it to the confirmed winner.
If you’re reading this on your e-ink Kindle or via email and not the actual blog page, you can go to your computer’s web browser and type in http://smarturl.it/918gw and enter away!
That should do it – and good luck to everyone!

Time is running out, and they must stop Stefan from spreading further mayhem. But Jeremy and Victor are in over their heads, and the hellish objects’ spirits will not rest until their pursuers join the ranks of the dead…

Book Description:
You have two options. You die, or you Qualify.
The year is 2047. An extinction-level asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, and the descendants of ancient Atlantis have returned from the stars in their silver ships to offer humanity help.
But there’s a catch.
They can only take a tiny percent of the Earth’s population back to the colony planet Atlantis. And in order to be chosen, you must be a teen, you must be bright, talented, and athletic, and you must Qualify.
Sixteen-year-old Gwenevere Lark is determined not only to Qualify but to rescue her entire family.
Because there’s a loophole.
If you are good enough to Qualify, you are eligible to compete in the brutal games of the Atlantis Grail, which grants all winners the laurels, high tech luxuries, and full privileges of Atlantis Citizenship. And if you are in the Top Ten, then all your wildest wishes are granted… Such as curing your mother’s cancer.
There is only one problem.
Gwen Lark is known as a klutz and a nerd. While she’s a hotshot in classics, history, science, and languages, the closest she’s come to sports is a backyard pool and a skateboard.
This time she is in over her head, and in for a fight of her life, against impossible odds and world-class competition—including Logan Sangre, the most amazing guy in her school, the one she’s been crushing on, and who doesn’t seem to know she exists.
Because every other teen on Earth has the same idea.
You Qualify or you die.

Danna Carpenter is town marshal. And a darn good one. Even if she has to handle saloon brawls and rustlers alone. Who needs deputies anyway?

Book Description:
In the summer of 1941, two young men from Chicago took off on a road trip to Mexico. From there, they traveled across the Pacific to Japan, and then on to occupied France, landing in that country on the very day that Germany declared war on the United States. Their epic adventure had suddenly taken a dark turn.
Wolfgang Wergin and Herbie Haupt were American citizens, though German by birth. Both had lived in America since the age of five, yet now they were given a choice by German officials. They could join a Nazi sabotage mission heading back to the United States to blow up aluminum factories, or they could be drafted into the German army and sent to the Russian front. One of these young men chose the first option, and one the second. Only one of them would survive.
While this fragment of history is mostly forgotten today, the episode became one of the most sensational news stories of its time, garnering intense national interest. “Enemies: A War Story” is a fictionalized version of this true story, sticking as close to the facts as possible. This is a novel that raises challenging questions about the meanings of patriotism, justice, and American morality during difficult times.

Book Description:
When an aspiring surgeon from a prestigious family loses her promising career, she locks up her heart. A sweet, sexy musician from the wrong side of the tracks just might hold the key.
We are living in a material world…
Austin
I’m no hero.
But when I saw an SUV smashed between trees, I knew I had to help.
I never thought I’d see the driver’s beautiful face again—I never wanted to after I found out she was from one of the wealthiest, most powerful families in the city.
I’d never be good enough for a woman like that.
But there she was six months later, in the second row at my show, dancing to the song I wrote about her, and staring at me with the most intense gaze I was sure she could see into my soul.
Maybe fate is more powerful than money.
Liz
Ever since I was in a car accident, I haven’t had full use of my hand—and that’s pretty damning for an aspiring surgeon.
The career my parents have pushed me toward since I was a kid is over and I don’t know how to tell them–or where my life goes from here.
Then I met Austin, the sweet, sexy musician who stole my breath—and my heart.
We come from different worlds, and my family has made it very clear that they don’t approve. But I don’t care because he’s helping me break free from their expectations.
I guess I didn’t realize how far they would go to keep us apart.
