  Smart and athletic, Amy Kimball should have it all, but her life's in a tailspin. She's working two menial jobs to make ends meet, barely a paycheck away from financial disaster, and women aren't exactly lining up at her door. 
   
   
   
  Enter soccer star Diego Torres, who's keeping a big secret: he's gay. His manager fears that if he's found out, his endorsements and his chance to play for the national team will evaporate into the wind. 
   
   
   
  Amy jumps at the chance to act as Diego's fake fiancée, even though it means signing her life away in a non-disclosure agreement. On the surface, the job couldn't be better: the money's great; the living accommodations are luxurious, and she gets to watch her favorite soccer team from the players' box at the stadium. 
   
   
   
  But she soon realizes that this new life is even harder to navigate than her old one. Diego's manager is as sleazy as they come, and this easy job soon turns complicated, possibly even dangerous. More important, all the lies Amy is forced to tell are starting to eat away at her soul, especially when she finds herself attracted to Casey Palmer, Diego's pretty assistant. 
   
   
   
  Will Amy find the courage to get back into the game? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  They’ve barely escaped from the voro with their lives. Now Askari, Harcos, Shujaa, and Fane are seeking refuge in the one place secure enough to give them time to heal: Greystone City. 
  The city welcomes them with open arms, and Askari discovers a way of life she never believed was possible. In Greystone City, people are doing more than just surviving—they’re living. Plagued by nightmares from the City of Dod, Askari throws herself into the work of the city as she waits for her friends to heal, hoping to outrun her trauma. But the settlement is not as safe as it seems. Politics divide the people, and the new surge of monsters has brought a flood of refugees to the city. And monsters are lurking everywhere—even within the city’s seemingly safe confines. 
  With every minute that passes, Askari regains more of her strength—and Devor gets closer to finding and destroying the Baratok. Askari has to decide: remain safely in the city, or brave the monster-ridden wilderness alone?

  Hunt the greatest treasures - pay the greatest price. 
   
  Damian Lucas is a Robin Hood conman, specialising in taking money from corrupt companies and donating the proceeds to museums and libraries. One step away from danger at all times, he's currently hiding from the Russian Mob and furious industrialists, each with valid reasons for hunting him. 
   
  But, when Richard Evans, a onetime mentor and family friend is found dead in Deptford beside the last known resting place of Christopher Marlowe, Damian is sent a message from beyond the grave that sends him on a treasure hunt across England; one that links Elizabethan occultists, secret societies, William Shakespeare, Richard III, alchemical architects, Queen Elizabeth I and the War of the Roses, all leading back to a mythical Plantagenet Gold, brought back from the Crusades by Richard the Lionheart, hidden by the Knights Templar, and believed to be worth trillions in today's money. 
   
  But Damian isn't the only one hunting the treasure. Forced on the run with SO.14 agent Katherine Turner, a mysterious woman with her own connection to Richard, Damian finds himself hunted by alt-right poster boy billionaire Martin Shrewsbury, as the cryptic clues take them from historical landmarks to the most dangerous of places, and Damian learns the truth about his parents death, years earlier... 
   
  The first novel in a series of adventure mystery thrillers by #1 New York Times bestselling writer Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, The Lionheart Curse is perfect for fans of Dan Brown's (The Da Vinci Code) Robert Langdon series of books and Steve Berry's (The Templar Legacy) Cotton Malone series of books, among others.

  Gwynne meticulously retraces the steps of the formidable Comanche nation, a tribe that rose to power with a force unparalleled in native North American history, thanks to their masterful horse riding and warrior skills. Their reign, known as the "Comanche Empire," struck fear into the hearts of Americans and Mexicans alike, shaping the course of the frontier with a brutal hand. 
  At the epicenter of this historical narrative is the incredible story of Cynthia Ann Parker, a nine-year-old girl kidnapped by the Comanche, who grows up to become the mother of Quanah Parker, the last and greatest Comanche chief. This dual biography intricately weaves the personal narratives of both Cynthia and Quanah, as they navigated a world at the crossroads of emerging American civilization and indigenous culture. 
  As you explore our summary, readers will be transported to a tumultuous period in American history, where the collision of cultures gave rise to heroism, cruelty, and the forging of the modern United States. S. C. Gwynne's masterful storytelling brings to life the flesh and blood people behind the historical figures, offering a sobering look at the realities of frontier life and the profound cost of progress.
