Sinopsis

A New York Times bestseller “delivers lurid details of political chicanery and lively descriptions” in a thriller about a politician’s vengeful ex-lover (Publishers Weekly). 
 
Pam Leighton is a smart, ambitious, and sexy aide to a handsome Washington lobbyist named John Duke. For the last two years, she’s also been his lover. It’s an open secret that his glamorous and social-climbing wife, Catherine, tolerates—to a point. 
 
After the President nominates Duke for a cabinet post, Catherine sees her opportunity and delivers an ultimatum: either fire Pam or get ready for a very public, very ugly divorce. Duke’s sharply honed political instincts tell him exactly what he needs to do. In one abrupt, brutal meeting, Duke ends the relationship and fires her from the job she loves. But Pam is not about to go quietly: A powerful New York publisher is offering her big money for what could be the ultimate Washington tell-all. But when people around her begin dying, Pam realizes that finishing the book may be a matter of life and death—her own. 
 
“A terrifying tale . . . and a gutsy heroine worth rooting for.” —RT Book Reviews

    From the Southern Book Prize winning author of Rednecks: a thrilling novel of pursuit, survival, and redemption between two species in the American Southwest 
    Broke, dispossessed, and angry at the government after losing his family’s New Mexico ranch, Trace Temple is looking for revenge. He’s living out of his truck when a shadowy militia movement hires him to take down the legendary she-wolf of the Dark Canyon pack, One-Eleven. But One-Eleven is no ordinary wolf. Cunning, fiercely protective of her young, and seasoned in the ways of men, she leads her pack deep into the forbidding desert peaks and canyons, always one step ahead of pursuit. 
     
    After a harrowing brush with death in the backcountry, Trace has a change of heart—only to be replaced by a professional hunter and assassin named Murdoch, who ruthlessly pursues his animal quarry while stalking Trace himself. 
     
    To survive, Trace must join forces with a pair of unlikely allies: a survivalist animal protector who deploys feral senses and deep wilderness skills to protect the wolves, and Imogen Cruz, a local rancher, childhood friend, and unrequited love of Trace’s early years. Together, they must fight to protect not only themselves and the Dark Canyon pack, but ultimately, the Gila Wilderness itself—the world’s first designated wilderness area. 
     
    In Wolvers, award-winning author Taylor Brown presents a suspenseful, thrillingly-written tale set at the burning edge of today’s Southwest, where once-extinct wolves have returned, the land is tinder-dry and fragile, and desperate men seek to reclaim what they believe is theirs to rule.

    One wrong decision. One death. One missing person. One clear suspect. 
     
    Mina Banksy, a thirty-two-year-old author and mother of a rambunctious three-year-old, is still reeling from a recent divorce and what she calls an "early midlife crisis" when two Chicago detectives show up at her door looking for her friend, Dylan. Or, more accurately, the van that she allowed him to register in her name, because Dylan—a friend from her former Jiu Jitsu gym—is a recently recovered addict and convicted felon. According to the cops, Dylan is not so reformed after all: the van has been under suspicion for criminal activities, and she may be in trouble for it. 
     
    Flustered by the stressful meeting, Mina calls Matthew, a cop who she'd had an affair with six months earlier, causing a scandal at their close-knit gym as well as instigating her divorce and his relocation to Arizona. Matthew tells her to cut all ties with Dylan and report the van missing. Instead, Mina tries to track down Dylan at the rehab where he lives. She finds him dead, and the nature of his injuries make it appear the murderer is someone well-versed in Jiu Jitsu. When Mina's ex-husband also turns up missing, and Matthew returns to Chicago, every member of the gym—current and past—becomes a suspect, and somehow all roads lead back to Mina Banksy. 
     
    Part unlikely romance and part murder mystery, set inside the eclectic subculture of martial arts, BREAKFALL is an exploration of sexual desire, motherhood, and marriage in modern times.

    Is Jane Austen the newest member of the Vampire Book Club? 
    What more could a diehard fan ask for? Except that Jane is undead and unamused… 
    To bookshop owner and witch Quinn Callahan’s delight, Jane Austen shows up for the late-night Vampire Book Club in Ballydehag, Ireland. Quinn’s thrilled and aching to ask her favorite author all the questions every rabid reader has about Jane's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. But Jane isn't in Ballydehag on a social call. She’s on a mission to stop the latest movie version of her most famous book from being made. Having Pride and Prejudice turned into a pornographic film is too much for the undead author to bear. 
    Dermott Lynch ditched Ballydehag seventeen years ago for the bright lights of Hollywood, leaving behind at least one broken heart and some very bad feelings. Now, he’s back, flashy and full of himself, wowing the townsfolk, and scouting locations for his movie, though it's obvious he’s never read a single page of Pride and Prejudice. 
    While excitement ripples through the locals at the prospect of having a movie shot in a village that doesn’t see much excitement (in daylight, anyway), the vampires living at Devil’s Keep are far from impressed. They prefer to keep Ballydehag quiet and remote. And Dermott Lynch could ruin it all. 
    Quinn, Jane, Lochlan Balfour, and his fellow vampires are determined to block this unsavory character from besmirching the classic novel. But as dark feelings grow, rather than a porno, the movie could end up being a murder mystery.
