The Things I Didn't Do

Charlotte Barnes

Sinopse

“A real page turner and one I lost several hours sleep to, wanting to turn just another page before I put it down. Another cracker from Charlotte Barnes, can't wait for the next.” —Goodreads reviewer, five starsA writer interrogates a woman who may or may not have killed her husband, in a taut tale of psychological suspense by the author of Sincerely, Yours. After twenty-five years in the remote English countryside, living under an assumed name, Erica Miller has decided it’s time for the world to hear her story—from her point of view, rather than from the tabloids or the gossips who think she got away with murder. She hires Prudence Carr to write about her privileged childhood, her marriage, the affairs, the day her husband disappeared, and the day his body was found in the marshes. Despite evidence against her, the jury refused to convict, leaving Erica to live a life of quiet isolation. Erica has a lot to say. But as the story unfolds, so does Prudence. It is clear that this project could make Prudence’s career. In this compelling novel of mystery and deceit, everything will depend on who gets the last word . . .

Blood of the Orc Prince - MM...

Lionel Hart

War draws ever closer, and no one can be trusted. Taegan and Zorvut have each other, but will that be enough?
The orc warlord Hrul Bonebreaker has violated the peace treaty that first brought the elven prince Taegan and his half-orc husband Zorvut together, and orc armies march upon the elves once more. Zorvut must learn to harness his latent magical ability, but Aefraya isn’t safe anymore. So with the elven king’s blessing, they flee Aefraya in the night and travel toward human lands, following a rumor hoping to find the man who is Zorvut’s true father: Tomlin Whitmore, a retired bard.
Will the human be able to help train Zorvut at all? Would he even want to? Taegan has his own doubts about Zorvut’s optimistic plan, but the thought of being apart is unbearable. They make the journey through untamed wilderness and rural villages to the beachside town where the bard was last spotted.
Although they’re further from the war front, danger proves difficult to outrun, and discerning friend from foe is far less simple while surrounded by unfamiliar people in unfamiliar lands. After all, wars aren’t ended so easily, and betrayal can lurk unseen until it’s too late.
Blood of the Orc Prince is book two of the Orc Prince Trilogy. Book one, Claimed by the Orc Prince, introduces the story of Taegan and Zorvut, and is meant to be read prior to Blood of the Orc Prince.
This steamy MM fantasy romance contains light omegaverse and A/B/O elements, featuring some delicious size differences. Mpreg is discussed as an in-world possibility, but does not occur on the page. This 18+ novel contains explicit scenes.
⚠Content warnings: mild gore/violence, discussions of parental death, hunting, kidnapping.

Shade War - A Druidverse Urban...

M.D. Massey

Cursed by a soul-eating demon and haunted by his past, this shadow mage will do anything to save the woman he loves… from himself.
Crowley’s my name. Some call me Hound, but most don’t live to say it twice.
The goddess Fuamnach kidnapped me when I was a child, she taught me magic, then she made me her assassin and slave. If that was all she did to me, I might’ve escaped and let it pass. But she changed me—in ways I still don’t completely understand.
There’s something inside me… and it hungers.
A blessing and a curse, my shade provides the magic I need to evade Fuamnach while it slowly gnaws away at my life force. Even worse, the entity has recently decided to rebel against me.
Now I’m not just being hunted by a goddess… I’m in the midst of a war for my very soul.
If the shade wins I’ll be trapped inside my body, helpless to resist while it feeds on everyone around me—including Belladonna, the woman I love.
I have to find a way to control the shadow wraith and to stop Fuamnach from hunting me. Only then can Belladonna and I can live in peace.
To do that, I need answers—answers that can only be found in Underhill where I was enslaved and reborn. But if I’m captured there, my former master will delight in torturing me to death over several agonizing centuries. And that’s if she’s feeling generous.
This won’t be the first time I’ve bearded the lion in its den… but one slip, and it might be my last.
