  The Cthulhu Mythos of Henry Kuttner features a series of interconnected stories that explore the dark corners of the universe, where ancient gods and unspeakable horrors lurk just beyond the veil of reality.

  Can British magick survive?  
  As the pace of modern life accelerates, the old ways wither and die. But to the Society for Magickal Heritage, that just isn’t good enough. 
  The Witch: Friend to the unicorns, lover of pancakes, and wielder of potent artefacts, star agent Cordelia “Ves” Vesper will stop at nothing — okay, very little — to drag ancient magicks back out of the grave. 
  The Waymaster: New recruit Jay Patel has some rare and powerful arts at his disposal. With a penchant for old books and motorbikes in near equal measure, he’s a force to be reckoned with. 
  The Necromancer: Prankster Zareen Dalir may be high-spirited but she’s got a darker side. A much, much darker side. Head of the Toil and Trouble division, Zar’s the best kind of bad news. 
  The Baron: Is Baron Alban the handsomest troll alive or... forget it, yes. Yes, he is. But he’s not just a pretty face. With the powerful Troll Court at his back and a smile to slay an army, Alban’s a staunch ally. 
  Join these four champions, the enigmatic “Milady” of the Society, and the sentient house they call Home as they fight to keep magick alive! This new compendium brings you the first three wild adventures all in one: The Road to Farringale, Toil and Trouble, and The Striding Spire.

  The Eel - The Most Elusive...

  The Eel by Miriam Allen DeFord - The punishment had to fit more than just the crime—it had to suit every world in the Galaxy! 
  He was intimately and unfavorably known everywhere in the Galaxy, but with special virulence on eight planets in three different solar systems. He was eagerly sought on each; they all wanted to try him and punish him—in each case, by their own laws and customs. This had been going on for 26 terrestrial years, which means from minus ten to plus 280 in some of the others. The only place that didn't want him was Earth, his native planet, where he was too smart to operate—but, of course, the Galactic Police were looking for him there too, to deliver him to the authorities of the other planets in accordance with the Interplanetary Constitution. 
  For all of those years, The Eel (which was his Earth monicker; elsewhere, he was known by names indicating equally squirmy and slimy life-forms) had been gayly going his way, known under a dozen different aliases, turning up suddenly here, there, everywhere, committing his gigantic depredations, and disappearing as quickly and silently when his latest enterprise had succeeded. He specialized in enormous, unprecedented thefts. It was said that he despised stealing anything under the value of 100 million terrestrial units, and most of his thefts were much larger than that. 
  He had no recognizable modus operandi, changing his methods with each new crime. He never left a clue. But, in bravado, he signed his name to every job: his monicker flattered him, and after each malefaction the victim—usually a government agency, a giant corporation, or one of the clan enterprises of the smaller planets—would receive a message consisting merely of the impudent depiction of a large wriggling eel.

  She’s a modern doctor. He’s a medieval Highland laird holding her captive. Could her love be the treasure he longs to claim?  
  Scotland, 2022. Celebrating with friends, pediatrician Jennifer Foster is more than a little tipsy when their boat breaks down near Achleith Island. Put ashore while they wait for the coastguard, Jenny discovers a rock with strange markings. Thinking it’s all a game, she high-fives the carved handprint and hurtles through time to the Middle Ages. 
  Scotland, 1313. Highland laird Aulay MacDonald is hunting an English treasure ship that could alter the course of the war. Passing near Achleith Island, he sees a woman waving her arms. Could she be a survivor of the shipwreck? Like one of his Viking ancestors, he throws her over his shoulder and returns to Dunyvaig Castle to question his hostage. 
  Jenny’s last chance at motherhood is a fertility appointment in two weeks. But the godlike Highland laird won’t let her leave. Worse, the more she sees of him the less she wants to go. Aulay hasn’t let a woman get close since his wife died. But the feisty physician could heal his heart—if he can trust her. 
  Can a woman desperate to return home and the man holding her prisoner claim a love strong enough to forge new dreams?

  *Complete 6 book series* 
  I have a secret. 
  A double life. 
  My name is River for some, Rose for others. 
  Everyone gets a piece of me but no one gets it all. 
  Becoming a high-class escort wasn’t my dream but fate decided otherwise. 
  Now, I’m caught between the one who broke my heart, the one who pays for my screams, and the one who intrigues me. 
  I think I have everything under control until danger comes knocking on my door. 
  The world as I know it is on fire and all I can do is watch it burn. 
  I just need to try and avoid the flames to get out alive. 
  TRIGGER WARNING: The Rich One is the first volume of a series of six to be released every other month. It is graphic and morally on the fence containing extremely sensitive material that may not be adapted to your needs. If you’re okay with all of this, just remember…we warned you. On the plus side, the lead female is strong and proud and ‘her’ men come with a fire extinguisher. If you’re still following along after all of that then, by all means, sit down, relax, and enjoy the filthy, bumpy road ahead.
