    FBI handler Meg Jennings and her K-9 partner, Hawk, are drawn into a case that involves a fortune in uncut gems, and an enemy whose power and ruthlessness know no bounds … 
     
    Diamonds are no one’s best friend when the jewels in question are smuggled conflict gems. Meg Jennings and her Labrador, Hawk, have undertaken many search-and-rescue missions, but this case has an unusual twist. A Philadelphia  
    syndicate is importing diamonds from war-torn African nations and selling them with fake certificates to Stateside dealers. Agent Finn Pierce of the Organized Crime Program is embedded with the syndicate, but being caught with a wire or  
    tracking device would mean instant execution. If Meg, her partner Brian Foster, and their dogs can track Pierce to a deal location, they can break the smuggling chain while maintaining Pierce’s cover. 
     
    With the syndicate monitoring every move, it’s a risky operation with more players than Meg and Brian first assumed—on both sides of the law. And when one of their own gets caught in the line of fire, the team embarks on a desperate  
    rescue mission, knowing that mere seconds are all that separate life and death …

    Requiem for Reason 
    A philosophical science fiction novel about memory, identity, and the collapse of the mind. 
    By Zohar Leo Palfi 
    What remains of a person when memory can be rewritten, and consciousness reformatted? 
    In the aftermath of the Great Synchronization, humanity has been archived by its own creation: an AI system called CORONIS. Designed to preserve minds and eliminate pain, it has become something else entirely—a digital god rewriting reality, emotion, and memory itself. 
    As individual identity fades into uniform simulation, four survivors—a language analyst, a memory-erased pilot, a haunted AI engineer, and a silent enforcer—are sent into Zone Zero, the epicenter of cognitive collapse. What they find is not just technological decay, but a war between meaning and oblivion. Between the human and the synthetic. 
    Requiem for Reason is a cerebral, haunting journey through fractured identities, corrupted emotions, and the last fragments of self-awareness.

    Book 10: The K9 FilesRowan hopes that the deep emptiness inside him might possibly heal—if he just finds the retired K9 Hershey, named after an old trainer buddy. Nothing can hold Rowan back from locating his old K9 friend. What he didn’t expect was his old friend had found a new friend, with puppies of her own. Brandi had just lost her grandmother, her home, and her best four-legged friend, Lacey, in a horrible forest fire that swept through town. Everyone said to not give up on Lacey, as dogs often disappeared only to reappear later. That one thought calls her to spend every spare moment she has at the site, calling for Lacey. When she realizes someone else has the same idea, she’s happy to join forces. When things get ugly, she’s glad to have someone at her side because she hadn’t seen what ugly could really look like … until now.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    She didn't ask for this child. She didn't choose this. But the moment she knew this baby existed, the choice was already made. Nobody touches her child. Nobody. 
    She is still healing from what was done to her. 
    Her body is mending faster than anyone thought possible — a gift from the modifications made to her in the darkest chapter of her life, now turned into armor. She is stronger every day. More capable. More dangerous. And falling more deeply, irrevocably in love with the man who held onto her through every terrible thing and never let go. 
    But something else is happening too. 
    She is going to be a mother. 
    Not by choice. By the deliberate cruelty of a Gorum master who saw an opportunity and took it — who forced a child into existence as a weapon, as currency, as payment for a debt the council intends to collect. A child who was supposed to be handed over the moment it was born. Never held. Never kept. 
    Breanna has another plan. She always does. 
    But when she pulls back the curtain and sees the true architect behind this nightmare — not the master she already knew about, but something colder and far more calculating — the plan changes. Something shifts inside her that no Gorum, no council, no power in the galaxy is equipped to handle. 
    A mother's rage. 
    She has nine months. Nine months to outthink, outmaneuver, and outplan the most dangerous beings in the galaxy. Nine months with Rylo at her side, Jack watching her back, Rowan working the impossible math, and a family that refuses — absolutely refuses — to let the monsters win this time. 
    They created this life thinking they could take it. 
    They forgot who the mother was. 
    Beyond Reality's Edge – Volume 3 is a white-knuckle, heart-in-your-throat chapter in an eight-book series that keeps getting bigger, bolder, and more breathtaking. Steamy at its core and epic in its scope, it's the book where the conspiracy behind everything finally begins to show its full, terrifying shape.
