  Within the city walls, a monster hunt rages. Outside, an army marches. 
  For Ahsan and the beast hiding under his skin, the safest place to hide is behind enemy lines. These days, the trick is knowing where that is. When the Blight Hunt comes to Sippar, it's all he can do to escape scrutiny. Yet when his plans go awry and his deadly secret risks being exposed, he finds he's not the only one harboring dark truths—nor the only one in peril. 
  Nirah has advanced in her priestess arts, but when disaster arrives on her doorstep, she will stop at nothing to save the city she loves—and the man she loves. Yet as a mysterious force advances and Sippar is thrown into chaos, everything she knows crumbles, and she must decide where her faith truly lies. 
    
  It is a wicked evil that coils around Sippar, and an enemy older than anyone realizes. Amongst epic floods and bloodshed, royal cabals and allegations of dark magic, Ahsan and Nirah are again drawn together, each other's best chance for survival. 
  Book 2 in The Imposter King series, The Wretched Spy is packed with ancient monsters, sizzling romance, bronze-age warfare, and more. Continue the saga today.

  Persuasion is a novel by Jane Austen that follows the story of Anne Elliot, an unmarried woman struggling to reconcile her feelings for a man she met and fell in love with eight years earlier, Captain Frederick Wentworth. The fast-paced novel explores themes of love, class, and social expectations in 19th-century England. Austen uses Anne's character to highlight the societal limitations placed upon women during this time. Women were expected to marry for financial security and status, rather than for love. Anne's struggle to navigate her desires and the expectations of her family and society highlights the conflict that many women faced during this period. In addition to exploring themes of love and societal expectations, the novel also delves into the class system of England at that time. Austen uses the characters of the landed gentry and the navy officers to comment on the societal changes that were occurring during this time period. Through these characters, Austen highlights the shifting power dynamics and changing social structures of the time.

  My life is a hot mess. 
   
   
   
  Single, working, and raising two daughters, it's a miracle I get us up, dressed, and fed every morning. Forget about dating—nobody's got time for that. Even if love hadn't left me jaded, I'm not settling for anything less than perfect this time around. 
   
   
   
  Lucky for me, the perfect man just happens to work in my office. But there's just one small problem: he's my boss, and is totally off limits. But hey, if it's meant to be, it'll find a way, right? 
   
   
   
  Then a night out with friends turns into a night in with the walking-talking bad boy cliche of a bartender. It's just one night. No harm, no foul, right? 
   
   
   
  Except when the hot bartender turns out to be my boss's trouble-making brother, who wants more than just one night with me. The more I resist the spark between us, the more I find myself wanting him too. Which puts me in the middle of what could be the biggest sibling rivalry of the century. 
   
   
   
  Life is messy. And love? 
   
   
   
  Well, love is even messier.

  WREN 
  Moms are good at one thing: the guilt trip. It’s the only reason I’m at the funeral of a man I’ve never had anything to do with. 
  I’ll show up, make her happy, and get out. 
  At least that’s what I think until I learn daddy dearest has left me a crap load of money and the obligation to learn about the family business. All from his eldest son who looks nothing like the rest of us. 
  Darcy is the only Ritcherson who doesn’t treat me like the bastard son that I am. He helps me learn, pushes me to be better, and as we work together, we grow closer. For a gazillionaire with a media empire at his fingertips, he’s surprisingly humble. 
  And sweet. 
  And saying things he shouldn’t be saying. 
  The thing is, Mom swears she was never a mistress. Swears she was the only one Dad was seeing when she fell pregnant with me. But with Darcy only a few weeks older, there’s no way that can be the case. 
  Unless … 
  Unless the things he whispers when he thinks I’m not listening mean something. The guilt in his eyes when he looks at me would make sense. 
  If Darcy isn’t my father’s biological child, he’s not the Ritcherson heir. 
  I am. 
  And everything Darcy holds dear should be mine.

  A chance encounter lands NBA star Dallas Avery back in the arms of the woman of his dreams. A woman he hasn't seen in years. A woman he soon discovers just so happens to be his fiancée's aunt! But Dallas' fiancee, Tori, isn't ready to give up all that she's worked for, so she makes him a shocking offer - go through with the wedding and she'll still allow him to be with the one woman he now can't seem to do without. Dallas will get a family, something her much older aunt, Alicia can't give him. Tori will get the lifestyle she clamors. And Alicia will get the love she's longed for all her life. Everyone will get a little of what they want. . . and maybe a whole lot of what they don't. 
   
  The details of the trio's love life play out in the tabloids and on talk shows, making Dallas the center of an NBA scandal. And eventually, the doors slam shut on their plans for an open marriage and Dallas is forced to make a choice to end the chaos. But moving on is easier than it looks and by the time all is said and done, secrets will be revealed, passions will be extinguished, and everyone's lives will be forever changed. 
   
  "I have to be honest, I'm a little on the fence when it comes to Dallas and Alicia. On one hand, I really wanted to hate them for what they did. On the other, I couldn't help but root for them and their beautiful love. I did like how Tori redeemed herself at the end though, instead of following in her mother's footsteps." S. E. Felida, Holland, Denmark 
   
  "While reading Open Door Marriage, the twists and turns were astounding. Not only were the main characters story line well developed and presented, the secondary characters had a story line of their own. When the drama unfolds throughout the book, you will be left with a slack jaw and angry feelings for some. Open Door Marriage was my first read by this author and will not be my last."--Midnight Red, Red Zone Certified 4.5 Stars. 
   
  "Chile, from page one I wanted to be the cousin in this family. They were NUTS and dysfunctional as ever. I know that sounds crazy, but my family is small and we never have drama. Anyway, this book was FILLED with drama. I laughed so much and HARD. Several people asked me was I okay while reading it. Bernice? Lawd! She was SCANDALOUS with a capital S! She's that relative you don't claim. Money hungry wasn't the word for her. I was Team Tori until I got deeper into the book. The apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree so I knew this lady had some tendencies of being a child of the evil Bernice and she showed it. I kept trying to sympathize with her situation, but her thirst was real! I understand him being the "perfect" man, but you can't make someone love you the way you want them too. His heart was with Alicia. But the dollar signs dancing around her heart made her just as greedy as her horrible Mother. 
   
  I wanted to slap Dallas then hug him. Poor Baby was so confused. I was with him on keeping both though. Here you have two women that are willing to live in one house with one man and share him. WOW!!! I want two fine men to share me. I wouldn't mind at all!!! LOL!!! 
   
  I loved Alicia. I could identify with her the most. Naleighna Kai should've wrote me in as her ride or die best friend because I would've went UP TOP on Bernice and Tori for her. She had the patience of Job. Tori was itching for a beat-down and I so wanted Alicia to give it to her. She handled it all well. I would've been on the news!"--Krisha DeShawn
