Carole Mortimer

Sinopsis

Savage Alpha is the 8th story in USA Today Bestselling author, Carole Mortimer’s, #1 Bestselling Alpha series.
Author’s Note: The stories in the Alpha Series are steaming hot and the language sometimes explicit.

Who does Lily go to for help when a fan’s admiration turns to a dangerous obsession?

Her four older brothers are the obvious choice, especially when they own and run Knight Security. But Lily has fought long and hard for her independence from her family, and for her career as an actress. She certainly doesn’t want one of her brothers—or possibly all four of them—wading in with their usual arrogance and taking over her life again.
But as the fan’s obsession becomes darker, the “gifts” more bizarre, Lily knows she has no choice.

The last thing Jonas Grayfeather wants it to accept a job protecting the spoilt sister of the Knight brothers. But Gabriel, the eldest brother, and the man who once saved Jonas’s life, is calling in that favor, and so leaving Jonas with no choice but to at least check into whether or not Lily Knight really is being stalked.

A single meeting with Lily, and Jonas knows she’s going to be even more of a pain in his ass than any of her four overbearing brothers has ever been. She’s outspoken, annoying, and so stubborn Jonas’s first instinct is to put her over his knee, and give her the spanking she obviously should have received as a child.
She’s also wild and beautiful, sexy as hell, and arouses him with just a glance of those sexy green eyes. Whether they like it or not, the attraction is mutual, and the desire quickly blazes out of control between the two of them.

But Lily’s reckless disregard for Jonas’s efforts to protect her, may result in one or both of them ending up dead.
If they don’t kill each other with passion first…

Mikhail and Margarita - A Novel

Julie Lekstrom Himes

An NPR Best Book of the Year: “[A] brilliant novel of love, betrayal and censorship . . . Deeply suspenseful” (Margot Livesey, New York Times–bestselling author of Mercury).

It is 1933 in Russia and Mikhail Bulgakov’s enviable literary career is on the brink of being dismantled. His friend and mentor, the poet Osip Mandelstam, has been arrested, tortured, and sent into exile. Meanwhile, a mysterious agent of Stalin’s secret police has developed a growing obsession with exposing Bulgakov as an enemy of the state. To make matters worse, Bulgakov has fallen in love with the dangerously outspoken Margarita. Facing imminent arrest, infatuated with Margarita, he is inspired to write his masterpiece, The Master and Margarita, a satirical novel that is scathingly critical of power and the powerful.

Ranging from lively readings in the homes of Moscow’s elite to a Siberian gulag, Mikhail and Margarita recounts a passionate love triangle while painting a portrait of a country with a towering literary tradition confronting a dictatorship that does not tolerate dissent. Margarita is a strong, idealistic woman fiercely loved by two very different men, both of whom will struggle in their attempts to shield her from the machinations of a regime hungry for human sacrifice in a time of systematic deception.

Mikhail and Margarita, winner of the Center for Fiction’s 2017 First Novel Prize, is “an atmospheric, gripping, authoritative and deeply suspenseful narrative that utterly transports the reader” (Margot Livesey).

“A book about authoritarian crackdown on speech and satire that is sadly timely.” —Flavorwire
