Book Description:
What do you do when the person you most want to protect is the one risking everything to make sure you survive?
A chance meeting on the beach leads to love and self-sacrifice half a world away in this gripping tale of espionage and military suspense. A special ops soldier is pushed to new limits when he discovers the person he most wants to protect is the one risking everything to make sure he survives.
It started as a chance encounter on the beach, and ended 24 hours later when they parted to go their separate ways.
Or so they thought.
Actually it was just the beginning.
WHEN LAUREN CANTRELL said goodbye to the guy she had just met on the beach, she had no way of knowing their paths would ever cross again. But fate had another unexpected meeting in store for them—this time in a place where danger was part of the culture and the stakes were life and death.
THE LAST PERSON in the world Rad expected to see at a special ops briefing in Afghanistan is the girl he met at the beach two weeks ago—the one he can’t stop thinking about.
From the sundrenched beaches of Ocean City, Md., to the snowcapped mountains of Afghanistan, this thrilling tale of espionage and intrigue takes readers on a spellbinding journey into the secret lives of our nation’s quiet heroes—and answers the question:
What do you do when the person you most want to protect is the one risking everything to make sure you survive?
MEANT TO BE recounts the dedication of our military, the honor and sacrifice of our soldiers, and a relationship that is tested and sustained by the powerful forces of love, courage and resolve.

Jane has always concealed her paranormal abilities: telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis. It’s the perfect defense in a future where such faculties have begun to appear on a grand scale and are not always accepted. The only significant thing that she connects these powers to is a devastating accident that occurred in her childhood.
Things seem all too quiet when Max returns—a long forgotten specter from her past. He is a member of an ancient race of non-corporeal beings who was once drawn to Jane in her youth because of her psychic gifts. The warning he brings now stirs memories of dangers long forgotten.
Amid this, a man named Lucas begins to pursue Jane once again, as he did many years ago when he revealed his treacherous nature. Max aided her in outwitting him the first time, but Lucas seems more intent now—vigorous even—and Max appears to have only a tenuous grip on the physical world that we inhabit.
This time, he may not be able to help her.
Knowing that Lucas has ties to a secretive and dangerous committee, Jane must now rediscover her incredible psychic powers and defend herself.

He’s handsome, smart, and funny…so what if he’s thirty years her senior? The only trouble is, the media won’t put to rest the disappearance of his previous wife.

Linked

When the murder of the wife of Charlotte’s most influential family brings Jordan and McKenna together for the first time in a decade, the pair is plunged into an investigation that takes an unexpected turn from bad to worse with evidence that shouldn’t exist.

Genre: Religious Fiction
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars
Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Regular Price: $4.99
Today’s Price: $1.99
Click Here to Buy!
Book Description:
Ordinary people. A demon from hell. The final showdown.
In the summer of 1985, Daniel Burke, Becca Hawkins and Jack Carpenter confronted a demon prince, an efreet, and somehow drove it back to hell. They were twelve years old. Twenty-six years later, the efreet returns and sends superhuman assassins to kill the now-adult “Three Muskateers” before they can challenge him again. Reconnecting for the first time in a quarter of a century, the childhood friends piece together fragmentary memories of that long-ago summer as they fight desperately to stay alive—and to stop the voracious quest for power of the man possessed by the efreet, Chapman Whitworth,
Now comes the final confrontation. The only thing that stands between Whitworth and the presidency of the United States is a rag-tag group of ordinary people–Daniel, Becca, Jack and their friends. This time, they have to go after the demon, not the man—and it doesn’t matter that none of them remembers how they defeated it the first time. They have to find the monster–hidden in a labyrinth of dark caves protected by legions of poisonous spiders and snakes. And they have to stand together against it. If any one of them breaks, they all will die. It has come down to this—one last chance. It’s time for the reckoning.
The Knowing began the tale. The Deceiving continued it. Now, The Reckoning brings the story to a heart-pounding conclusion with a riveting account of the final battle against an evil as old as the skeleton of the universe. If you like fast-paced action, gut-tying suspense and themes that will challenge everything you believe about yourself, about life and reality, about good and evil and the whole nature of the universe—The Reckoning is the book for you.

About the Author:
Most of Ninie Hammon’s writing career was devoted to telling TRUE stories. For twenty-five years, she was a journalist—and she was good at it, started her own newspaper and won a wall full of awards.
But journalism never felt right—like walking around with sand in her shoe. Seven years ago, she took her shoe off, dumped out the sand and settled into making up the facts instead of reporting them. Writing fiction fit as perfect as Cinderella’s slipper.
Since then, she has written eleven novels—about ordinary people caught up in harrowing circumstances they didn’t create and don’t want, situations they have to fight their way out of. And in the process, they discover they are stronger, more noble, braver — or more cowardly and evil—than they ever suspected.

Book Description:
Murder in the City that Care Forgot
Fans of avid armchair adventurers will love this collection of oddball New Orleans tales—specifically, murder mysteries—each revolving around the incomparable lore of the City that Care Forgot. From an untimely demise at JazzFest to a dose of love laced with intrigue amongst an assortment of vivid local characters in an Uptown pharmacy (the kind you could only find in the N.O.), Festival of Murder has a little bit of something for everyone—everyone who loves New Orleans, that is.
JAZZ FUNERAL
Everybody loved easygoing Ham Brocato, producer of the famed New Orleans JazzFest. So how did he end up stabbed to death on his kitchen floor?
New Orleans Homicide Detective Skip Langdon just happens to be on hand when Ham’s body is discovered in the middle of his own party the evening before the Fest. To complicate the already murky case, the victim’s sixteen-year-old blues musician sister has disappeared, and Skip suspects that if the young woman isn’t the murderer, she’s in mortal danger from the person who is.
CITY OF BEADS
Tubby Dubonnet’s bored. Sure, researching licensing law for the new casino will keep trout meunière on the table, but what could be more tedious? (Unless, of course, the client turns out to be the mob.) Meanwhile, there’s the estate of an old friend who controls some dock leases on the wharf. And he agrees to help his daughter’s environmental group stop illegal dumping in the river. Ho-hum, thinks our hero. But suddenly all three cases begin to converge in an entirely ominous way. And Tubby’s running for his life.
MAKE ME DEAD by Adrienne Barbeau
As always in a Vampyres of Hollywood mystery, the biting wit is sharper than a nip from a passing vampyre—in a word, humor, wit, and satire are what this engaging series is really all about. Nobody’s better than Barbeau at skewering the foibles of Hollywood and its self-involved denizens, and nobody’s got a smarter mouth than her movie star heroine, vampye Ovsanna Moore, this time in New Orleans for a horror convention. (Fasten your seat belts—lots of fun to be had at the expense of horror conventions!)
PICK-UP LINE
A Love Story With Wit, Charm and Murder by Patty Friedmann
Cupid’s working overtime in the unlikely venue of N.O. Drugs, where plus-sized beauty Ciana Jambon works with dread-locked pharmacy student Lennon Israel, who’s so handsome, so meticulous, he just has to be gay. But she can’t help herself—she’s got the crush of the century. And a murder to unravel.
PI ON A HOT TIN ROOF
The FOURTH mystery in Edgar-winning author Julie Smith’s Talba Wallis series.
New Orleans’ most dynamic detective duo, poet/computer genius Talba and street-savvy Luddite Eddie Valentino, have a personal interest in this one—Eddie’s lawyer daughter Angie’s been set up for a drug bust.
PLUS a BONUS! M.A. Harper’s FIRE ON THE BAYOU, the second novel of an epic second-chance-at-love story in Louisiana—with plenty of its own mystery to solve. And Julie Smith’s short story PRIVATE CHICK—because every New Orleans mystery anthology needs at least a dash of detective-in-drag.

For three thousand years a hatred burns. In seventeenth century France two souls incarnate, one born the child of a prosperous merchant, the other, determined to continue a brutal incarnation begun long ago.
In ancient Egypt, there were two brothers, disciples of the pharaoh, Akhenaten. When the pharaoh died, the physician took the knowledge given and went to Greece to begin the mystery school. The general made a deal with the priests and became pharaoh. One remembers, one does not.
The year is 1671. René Gilbert’s destiny glints from the blade of a slashing rapier. The only way he can protect those he loves is to regain the power and knowledge of an ancient lifetime. From Bordeaux to Spain to Morocco, René is tested and with each turn of fate he gathers enemies and allies, slowly reclaiming the knowledge and power earned centuries ago. For three thousand years a secret sect has waited in Morocco.
After ages in darkness, Horemheb screams, “I am.” Using every dark art, he manages to maintain the life of the body he has bartered for. Only one life force in the world is powerful enough to allow him to remain within embodiment, perhaps forever. Determined to continue a reign of terror that once made the Nile run red, he grows stronger with each life taken.

Book Description:
THE PORN STAR, THE MURDERER, AND THE DISAPPEARING WIFE…
Those are just a few of the family members Oakland P.I. Jeri Howard finds herself investigating in a puzzling missing persons case that sprawls throughout the grittier sections of Northern California. For a woman who told her husband she had no relatives, Renee Foster’s actually well-stocked with them….and doozies at that. The whole family—criminals, abusers, and kindly aunts alike– comes alive in Janet Dawson’s first novel, prompting the New York Times to hail it as “a welcome addition to this tough genre.”
There’s clearly a lot more here than the simple matter of a wife disappearing with the grocery money. Smelling a rat or two right from the beginning of this complex and intriguing mystery, the red-haired private detective follows many a twisty trail as Dawson weaves an equally twisty tale, which, to the reader’s delight, just keeps winding back on itself, revealing brand new secrets as fast as ancient skeletons can fall out of closets.
Dawson’s Oakland is damp and properly sinister and Jeri’s as savvy as Sam Spade, with something of Spade’s seen-it-all outlook. What she doesn’t know, her chic lawyer pal, Cassie, can supply; and her cop ex-husband’s on hand to make trouble.

Book Description:
When Angst turned 40, he knew it was over. Angst had longed to be a knight of Unsel, to make his mark in history, to be remembered for heroic deeds and wondrous acts. He grew up knowing he was destined for something great, but now it is too late. Not only is 40 far too old to become a knight, Angst is one of the few able to wield “the magics”.
For 2,000 years magic has been outlawed, repressed, even outright destroyed throughout the world of Ehrde. By law, Angst is reduced to using his great power only to file papers. His marriage is on the rocks, his friends are bored with him, and he hates his job. The one person that makes him happy is the young Princess Victoria who seems to adore him. Unfortunately, that makes his boss, the Queen, hate him.
Without warning, Unsel is besieged with dangerous monsters – birds with metallic beaks, monkey creatures that can dive through solid ground, mindless horse-eating giants. The world that shunned magic now turns to Angst for help, and he is happy to listen once his back stops hurting.
On the edge of a mid-life crisis, Angst drags his reluctant friends along with him on an adventure into the heart of magic. He’s not sure where they’re going, what they’ll find, or even if they’ll survive. But he knows this is his one chance to be a hero because the only way to fight magic is with magic.

The clock is ticking down, and her consort has yet to make an appearance. Instead, her dreams are haunted by a man she’s never seen, the one she believes must be her intended match. But with time running out, and dark forces attempting to seize her powers for their own, Angela is faced with a terrible choice: give up her dreams of the man she may never meet and take the safer path, or risk leaving her clan and everyone in it at the mercy of those who seek their ruin.

Kidnapped by a rival witch clan, Angela McAllister envisions a dark future for herself until she discovers her captor’s brother is the unknown man who has haunted her dreams since she was a child.

One hundred and fifty years ago, a terrible curse descended on the Wilcox clan, dooming generations of women to an early death should they bear a child to the bloodline of Jeremiah Wilcox. Now Angela McAllister is carrying Connor Wilcox’s child, and if she can’t find a way to break the curse, that same doom will fall upon her. The solution to her dilemma lies somewhere in the past—her own, and that of the woman who cast the curse so many years before. Angela’s quest to find the answers she needs will transform the lives of everyone she knows, Wilcox and McAllister alike, and will forever change everything she has ever believed about herself.

Book Description:
The spirit of Mark Twain arrives, bearing miracles and wisdom for a grieving man, bestselling author Lewis Evans. Twain asks him to toss everything he believes aside to make a new life, and possibly see his wife again. In a climactic scene, cradled by hot springs in a Natchez Native American ceremony of renewed life, Lewis begins to understand this quest. He faces down hard truths and blazing light with the force of love . . . and all will carry him home.
Lewis Evans, an award-winning author from Twain’s hometown, has been blasted by the worst news he could get—his wife Sally has died in an auto accident. The next news is just as shocking. His idol Mark Twain comes calling to offer condolences and guidance. But how could it be the literary genius, and brilliant wise-cracker, gone from the earth for a century and a half?
The fellow announces that he is, indeed, the spirit of Twain and has been sent by Sally. He looks and sounds like Twain, and he knows things about Lewis, his wife, and their family that only Sally could have told him. But it’s impossible!
Twain, and his particular brand of humor, and deep wisdom, may be just the shake-up Lewis needs. Twain quotes himself, saying, “I think we never become really and genuinely our entire and honest selves until we are dead—and not then until we have been dead years and years. People ought to start dead, and they would be honest so much earlier.” Lewis recognizes the words. “That’s from your pages, Eruption!” And then Mark smiles. “This is going to work out very well…”
When Lewis puts his idea of what is possible on hold, the two men set off on a grand steamboat journey down the mighty Mississippi River, the river they both love and call home.
Lewis figures he will get to swap stories of years spent piloting the river, and of years spent lost and wandering the world. He is teased into thinking he might get a peek into the secrets of life and death from the storyteller he admires most. And, that he may get to see Sally one more time. Most of all, he will discover how he can live the rest of his life alone, yet in joy and love.
In a climactic scene, cradled in a hot spring in a Natchez Native American ceremony of renewed life, Lewis begins to understand this quest. He faces down hard truths and blazing light with the force of love . . . and all will carry him home.

Book Description:
Greta’s slow descent into mental illness, and her ultimate embrace with death, is hard for Mark to bear. His wife is stolen away neuron by neuron. He experiences most of her suffering from right beside her. At least until he is forced to put some space between them to escape the life-sucking paranoia of her defiled mind. She spends the last few years in a frail care home where he visits her twice a week with their daughter. He sees her there for the last time on the morning she dies.
By then he’s already met Anne, and they marry soon after Greta’s last breath leaves her body.
Their marriage is a tempestuous affair, alternating wildly between passion and brutality. At one of the most brutal lows, Mark’s iron-like fist snaps into Anne’s face and his knuckles rupture her soft, full lips – lips he has passionately kissed a thousand times. He’s never punched her in the face, so it’s an extreme shock to both of them. Time stands still as images of her horrified eyes, and her slumping body, brand themselves on his awareness.
The shock of such violence ignites a change in Mark that was primed years before by Greta’s suffering and death. He goes gently into a world of reconciliation and sweet forgiveness, and he’s catapulted roughly into mystical experiences, including the unsettling certainty that his departed wife is talking to him.
The doctor says its psychosis. But that turns out to be an incorrect diagnosis. To understand the truth about his condition – a condition that is common to all humans – Mark must endure one last trauma.
“On The Fifth Night” is a unique tale that takes the reader into uncharted depths of reality behind an obvious physical façade. It is packed with surprising twists, and inspiring to the last word. Heart-warming, romantic and spiritual.

When Corbin Landrick, an unlucky but hardworking guy, finally gets his hands on a ChronPod, he jumps headfirst into his second life. While he struggles to plant both feet firmly on the ground in a world of magic and monsters, he finds out that virtual reality is what you make of it.
