Solitaire Series Episode 18 The:...

Troy Lambert

“Some cards you’re dealt. Others, you find.” 
Jack Bardlow, Jr. doesn’t talk about what happened—not the burns, not the betrayals, and definitely not the fire that nearly ended everything. But when a mysterious woman offers him a drink and a listening ear, memories he’s buried deep come clawing to the surface. 
In a hidden bar far from prying eyes, two cards sit between him and the past: the Ten of Diamonds and the Four of Clubs—keys to a puzzle he never knew he was part of. But it’s the card he didn’t expect, the Three of Spades, that starts the clock ticking again. 
As old scars throb and new dangers emerge, Jack is drawn deeper into the Solitaire underworld. Every choice is a gamble. Every face hides an agenda. And the woman in red? She may not be who she seems. 
The Three of Spades is a gritty, emotional chapter in The Solitaire Series, filled with buried secrets, brutal flashbacks, and the first flash of hope Jack’s had in a long, long time.

In Want of a Knife - A...

Nancy Warren

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.
