Good thing he’s good at strategizing. Hunter McQueen is a former Ranger, a part-time Ice Breaker, and an all-around badass. It’s not like he looks for trouble—more like, trouble looks for him. And this time, the trouble that has come to hunt him down appears in the beautiful form of Shelby Carter, the famous “final girl” who survived the Sorority Seven Killer and sent the perp to death row. Once he manages to pick his jaw off the floor, Hunter wants to know how he can help Shelby. Also, how in the hell he can convince the woman to go out on a date with him? Fan boy much? Embarrassing but…yes. If there is one thing that Hunter respects, it’s strength, and Shelby has a spine of steel. She fought alone before, but this time, she needs…him. The big, dangerous stranger is supposed to be the protector that Shelby needs. He’s also supposed to be the man who can help her uncover the truth about a night that still torments her. Seven years ago, Shelby took down a killer who murdered her friends. During the attack, Shelby lost the hearing in her right ear. She avoids crowds, she trusts no one, and she spends her days and nights alone. But new memories are cracking through the darkness in her mind—a darkness left behind by the attack that wrecked her world—and she is now wondering…is the right man on death row? He’ll help her find the truth. And she’ll thaw the ice around his heart.  As they begin investigating the past, deadly attacks plague Shelby. It’s clear someone does not want her digging up the truth, but there is no way Hunter will let Shelby be hurt. He’ll be her full-time bodyguard, her hired gun—he will be whatever she needs him to be. Simply put, Hunter intends to stand between her and any threat. He will eliminate all of the threats to her. As for Shelby, desire burns through her with each touch and kiss that she shares with Hunter. Shelby is not interested in some slow burn romance with him. She wants passion. She wants desperation. She wants a desire that breaks past all control. And with Hunter, that’s exactly what she will get. Provided, of course, that the killer closing in doesn’t take out the final girl on his list… Author’s note: The Ice Breakers are back! Time for cold (and current) case solving as Hunter McQueen falls first and falls hard for a woman who has survived hell and lived to tell the twisted story. Shelby doesn’t expect to want Hunter as badly as she does, but the Ice Breaker sneaks past her guard.

Everyone talks about finding the one that makes their heart skip a beat. Personally, I’m not looking to develop any heart problems. I definitely don’t have to worry about developing any when it comes to the one man who knows how to get on my every nerve. Odin Mayer is the most offensive, black-hearted, no-good, very-bad, surliest man I’d ever met. He was Grumpy with a capital G, a biker to boot, and never missed a chance to make me see red. Just as I’m convinced there’s no good side to Odin, he shows me differently, saving me when I didn’t ask him to. And, of course, I have to spend the next few weeks with him after we both get chosen for the same trial to perform our civic duty. Jury duty was not on my Bingo card. Nor was falling for the jerkoff. But there I was, somehow lingering in the middle space between f**k you and I want to f**k you. Odin knew what he was doing, too. Teasing and taunting me at every turn. Then he had to go out of his way to be a hero, and I forgot that I was supposed to stay away.

For years, she confused physical attention of any kind with intimacy. As an adult, she just avoids all of it, until a recent development prompts her to do the unthinkable: ask a trusted acquaintance to “marry” her to send a message to an obsessed coworker. She thought it was a foolproof plan. But they’re barely a week in before Cypress realizes…she loves spending time with Ryker…is deeply attracted to the man she’s coming to know. Suddenly, her simple proposition is causing complex emotions she wasn’t prepared for. Still bearing the scars of his one and only long-term relationship, Ryker “Echo” Miller doesn’t intend to fall into that trap ever again. But that doesn’t mean he’ll turn away a friend in need…particularly when that friend is Cypress, who tweaks his protective instincts when she comes to him with tales of a stalking coworker who won’t take no for an answer. What starts as long looks and intimate touches in public to fool any onlooker, quickly turns into private moments for no one’s benefit but their own. And Echo can no longer deny, he wants this smart, funny, independent woman for more than just a ruse. Going from fake relationship to real romance isn’t the problem for Cypress and Echo.

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.

During his latest hunt, Royal expects to take down his prey. He doesn’t expect to find a beautiful woman trapped in the trunk of a car. Save the woman. Then walk away… He intends to drop the gorgeous victim at the nearest police station and then get the hell away from her. Only walking away isn’t an option for Royal. Not this time.

Her.   Determined, fierce, and unwilling to give in to the fear that he sees in her eyes, Violet slides right past Royal’s guard. Fragile on the outside, but with a core of steel in her soul, Violet is a fighter.  But she can’t fight this battle alone.   She needs protection. Lucky for her, Royal has experience at playing bodyguard . When Royal saved Violet, the killer escaped. Somewhere in the hot Savannah night, the killer still lurks. Royal intends to protect Violet and take out his prey.  But Violet has uncovered the dark truth about Royal, and instead of being repelled, she’s determined to be at his side in order to get the justice she seeks.  Being a victim again? Not on her agenda, thanks.   An unlikely alliance. A desire that can’t be contained.  Danger. Lust. Need. Desire burns brutally hot on a Savannah night.

Then never, ever walk away.  Because you don’t walk away from the woman who holds your battered heart in the palm of her hand.  Author’s Note:  Royal’s hobby is dangerous, diabolical, and definitely not ordinary. But then again, he’s all of those things, too.  When he discovers Violet, his entire world shifts focus.  She matches him, she scares him, and…she just damn well might complete him.  But in order to have a life with Violet, Royal has to first hunt down and stop the man who abducted her—and killed three other women.

The Poison Daughter A Novel by Vanessa Autumn

She was raised to believe her gift made her precious. No one told her precious things can still be owned. Seraphine Vaelora has spent her life as the feared and protected daughter of one of Veyrath’s most powerful Houses. Her body can absorb poisons that would kill anyone else. Her touch has become legend. Her family calls her invaluable. Then she saves a dying prince and the poison gives her a memory that should be impossible. A dead queen speaks. A buried woman appears beneath the earth. And one warning changes everything: The Poison Daughter must never reach thirty. Seraphine is twenty-eight. What begins as a forbidden search through royal archives soon exposes a secret her family has protected for generations. Poison Daughters have died young for centuries. One woman was erased from the family record entirely. An ancient ritual known as the Concord has been rewritten to disguise sacrifice as duty. And the powerful bloodlines governing the kingdom may depend on Seraphine never discovering what her magic was truly meant to do. Then Kael Rowan returns. Rebel. Traitor. Enemy of the Crown. And the man Seraphine was taught to blame for her brother’s death. But Kael carries a message written by the brother she lost, proof that her family has been lying to her, and an offer no one in her life has ever truly given her before. A choice. Leaving Vespera means abandoning everything Seraphine has been trained to protect. Staying may mean surrendering her body to a ritual designed long before she was born. And as her mysterious Bloom awakens, she begins to understand the terrifying truth behind her gift. She was never created simply to survive poison. She may have been born to break the system that made women like her useful. But freedom has a price. Her mother knows more than she admits. The queen believed dead may still be alive. Seven ruling Houses are guarding seven different versions of history. And the closer Seraphine grows to Kael, the more dangerous it becomes to separate desire from trust, rebellion from revenge, and love from another form of possession. Because Seraphine has spent her entire life being told what she owes her bloodline. Now she must decide what belongs to her. Her magic. Her body. Her heart. And her future. The Poison Daughter is a lush, emotionally charged dark fantasy romance filled with forbidden magic, deadly court secrets, blood oaths, betrayal, slow-burning tension, dangerous attraction, and a heroine fighting to reclaim the one thing everyone else believes they have the right to control: her choice. Perfect for readers who love powerful heroines, morally complicated rebels, hidden histories, corrupt royal families, forbidden attraction, ancient magical bargains, political intrigue, found family, and romances where love means freedom rather than ownership.
