Stone's Throw

Stone's Throw by Patricia D. Eddy

AJ “Captain Stone, your wife is alive.” Three years ago, Grace—the woman who made my world brighter, who laughed at my corny jokes and chased every adventure with me—vanished without a trace. No clues. No answers. Just an empty, aching silence. Until a call from a doctor in Mexico changes everything. She’s alive. But she doesn’t remember me—or herself. Still, when I’m close, she leans toward me, a small, instinctive motion that feels like a promise. Her memories return in shattered fragments—pieces of the life we built tangled with shadows too dark for her to face alone. All I can do is hold her. Protect her. Love her. And I’ll burn down the world before I let the men who took her touch her again. Grace “Your husband is here.” Those words should mean safety. Instead, they terrify me. I don’t remember my name, my age, or any of the terrible things the doctor says happened to me. AJ’s wild blue eyes and whiskey-smooth voice draw me in, a steady anchor against the panic. And when he holds me? I feel safe. The past comes back in fragments—charcoal sketches on paper, flashes of laughter and touch, sensations swallowed by shadow. Never enough to make me whole. AJ looks at me like I’m his everything, and I want—I need—to believe a love that deep can survive anything. But with every memory comes fear. The men who stole me once might try again. As I struggle to piece myself back together, one thing is certain: AJ will risk everything to keep me safe. And maybe—just maybe—I’ll find my way back to him before it’s too late.

Keeping Amanda

Keeping Amanda by Susan Stoker

She thought the most difficult thing she’d ever done was survive the rainforest…she was wrong. Things between Amanda Rush and Nash “Buck” Chaney aren’t starting out very well. He’s one of two Army Night Stalker helicopter pilots sent to rescue her and the twenty-three kids who’ve been kidnapped from a school in Guyana. But when the time comes for everyone to escape the military rebels who’d driven them deep into the Amazon rainforest, Amanda runs away from rescue, instead of toward it, forcing Buck to chase her down.  As it turns out, she has a very good reason for not immediately rushing into the helicopter with all the kids. But now she and Buck are stranded in the very warm, very wet, and very uncomfortable rainforest—with a whole contingent of pissed-off rebels on their trail, who are determined to hunt them down.  Not on Buck’s watch. Danger’s a funny thing. It can either bring people together or drive them apart. Despite their rocky start, Amanda and Buck find, to their surprise, that they have a lot in common. And once they return home to Virginia, they think they’ve left that danger behind them in the hot and humid rainforest.  They couldn’t be more wrong. Someone went to great lengths to get rid of Amanda…and they’re determined to finish what they started.  ** Keeping Amanda is the 2nd book in the Rescue Angels Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.  Trigger Warning: This story very lightly explores the distressing reality of child soldiers in other countries, as well as the sometimes devastating impact of adult mental illness on children. For those reasons, it may not be for more sensitive readers.

Finding Ashlyn by Susan Stoker

Friends with benefits. That’s all Ashlyn wanted with Slate. They were certainly combustible in the bedroom, and that was sufficient…wasn’t it? Yes, definitely. He was too bossy. Too protective. She didn’t want someone hovering, wanting to know her every move and telling her she was too reckless. But then again, knowing someone cared enough to worry about her felt kind of nice. Not to mention the more she was around Slate, and the more she learned about him, the harder it was to ignore her feelings. Duncan “Slate” Stone had never been with a woman like Ashlyn. She was impulsive, spontaneous, argumentative, and way too nonchalant about her safety. She drove him completely crazy…and he couldn’t stay away from her. The sex was out-of-this-world amazing, but just being near her, even if they did nothing but talk, made him just as happy. Clearly their laid-back arrangement worked. No need to rock the boat…right? When she unexpectedly finds herself in the middle of a deadly situation, Ashlyn realizes that having an overprotective boyfriend isn’t such a bad thing. And Slate discovers his feelings for Ashlyn are anything but casual. But both those discoveries could be too little, too late.  ** Finding Ashlyn is the 6th book in the SEAL Team Hawaii Series.

When He Guards by Cynthia Eden

He made a fatal mistake.   He lusted after the wrong woman. Let his need take over.  Cassius “Cass” Striker knew that he should have never touched the sexy FBI agent, but he gave in to temptation and had the best one-night stand of his life with Agnes Quinn. It should have meant nothing. He should have been able to walk away… He can’t walk away. If he does, she’s dead. His enemies know about Agnes, and they plan to use her against him. He’s the leader of one of the most notorious motorcycle clubs in the US. His name stirs fear into the hearts of nearly everyone…and he has a giant target on his back. Those who want to bring him down have been looking for a weakness to use against him—they think they found that weakness in the form of Agnes. Now he either saves her or he watches her die. She doesn’t need saving, but it’s super sweet of him to try. She fell for the bad guy. Not something that typically happens given her occupation, but Agnes couldn’t quite help herself. She’d been drawn to Cass from the first moment, and now the world—uh, the “underworld” thinks that they are hot and heavy, that she’s a way to break the unbreakable leader of the Night Strikers. Cass is vowing to protect her, but the only way to do that? Enter his world. Accept his claim. Eliminate all the threats that exist to them both. She has to go in undercover, continuing to pose as Cass’s lover as they embark on a cross-country trip. She has to follow his rules. She has to seemingly sever her ties with the FBI. In other words, Agnes has to go deep and hard in an undercover mission as she and Cass take out some seriously bad guys.  No worries, though. Agnes does love an undercover mission, so this should be fun. The case is a nightmare. It is not fun. And if Agnes flashes her sexy smile at him one more time… Cass is sure that he’s lost his soul, and he’s not even sure where his criminal life ends and the real man that he’d once been begins.  He knows one thing, though. Agnes is trouble—and he wants her. Wants her so badly that maybe he’ll let the dark side of his nature off the careful leash he holds. And he’ll take what he wants as he damns the consequences.  Threaten her? Try to use her against him ? Worst mistake his enemies could ever make because Agnes is his.  Cass was never meant to be a protector, but he sure is one hell of a hunter.

He promised our mother, as she lay dying, that I would never be involved with anyone from the mafia. I would never know more of the world that she blamed for ruining her life. So, falling in love with Gaetano was the worst thing I could have done for both of us. On the night of my eighteenth birthday party, I crashed into him, and nothing feels like it will be the same again—including me. Three years of longing exploded in a moment neither one of us thought would happen. The lie wasn't planned. When he realized he didn't have birth control, I told him that he didn't need it, terrified he'd find another excuse once the heat of the moment passed. The thing about growing up with the Outfit is that you learn things, like how to get what you want through manipulation to avoid bloodshed. So I keep lying because my brother won't kill the father of my baby, member of the Outfit or not. But will Gaetano forgive me when he finds out I lied and got pregnant on purpose?  While this book features Sandro and Carina from His Vicious Vow, you need not have read it to enjoy this. This is a standalone romance featuring a plus-size woman and a jealous, possessive mafia man with no third-act break-up and rough scenes some may find offensive.

Carolina Moon by Nora Roberts

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a novel of redemption and suspense, as a woman haunted by the unsolved murder of her childhood friend returns to her small South Carolina hometown. . . . Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt—and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child. Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart.  Now, as she returns to Progress with plans to settle in and open a stylish home-design shop, Tory is determined to find a measure of peace and free herself from the haunting visions of the past. As she forges a new bond with Cade Lavelle—Hope’s older brother and the heir to the family fortune—she isn’t sure whether the tragic loss they share will unite them or drive them apart. But she is willing to open her heart, just a little, and try.  But living so close to those unhappy memories will be more difficult and frightening than Tory could ever have expected. Because Hope’s murderer is nearby as well. . . . “Roberts may have achieved her personal best in this tense Southern Gothic. As atmospheric and unsettling as a Tennessee Williams play. . . .

Green Envy Book two Sin Series by Aleatha Romig

“Nothing is enough to the man for whom enough is too little.” ~ Epicurus At what age did I begin to question everything? As far back as I, Donavan Sherman, can recall, I saw the world not through the rose-colored glasses of others—those spectacles worn by the individuals who see what surrounds them and are satisfied—but through vision hued by green. Life took me along a bumpy path, or better yet, the path I chose led me to encounter obstacles that prepared me to overcome. That journey didn’t sugarcoat the world; it opened my eyes to the true qualities of green—greed, illness, and envy. After all, even Disney surrounds their villains in green smoke. That green hue created the realization that there is always more, always better, and never enough. I saw, I coveted, I took, and I conquered. I made enemies. Even with Julia by my side, my quest for more isn’t satisfied. There are people I want to see suffer, but it seems that revenge isn’t a one-way street. Will Julia pay the price for my sins? From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new age-gap, family saga, chance meeting, contemporary romantic-suspense novel in the world of high finance, where success is sweet and revenge is sweeter.
