Synopsis

A Fight for Lost Innocence Detective Auby Midnight is retired. Or so he imagines. Jaded and transformed by a long career of witnessing degeneracy, tragedy, and true evil, he reflects on the place that first nurtured him: Paradise Cove, Lake Texoma, and the rich, endearing memories of mischief, adventure, and friendship that shaped his childhood. That is, until the day a violent feud brought irrevocable trauma for his best friend, Sunny. Now Sunny implores the wearied Auby to right the wrongs of the past and return to the case that has haunted him and his childhood friends for years. Older, wiser, and far more experienced, they set out to defeat the evil that stole their innocence and restore the magic of Paradise Cove. Inspired by the author's own life events as a sixth-generation Texan and a former member of the Dallas Police Department with decades of experience under his belt, Hermit of Paradise explores meaning, morality, and the fight to stay human in the face of a grim and complicated world.

    What if devotion slowly drained the life from the one who gave it? In “The Man Without a Temperament” by Katherine Mansfield, you follow Robert Salesby, a man who has carefully set aside his own desires in order to care for his fragile, demanding wife. In a quiet European hotel meant for rest and recovery, daily routines unfold with delicate precision - meals, walks, silences - each masking an undercurrent of exhaustion and unspoken resentment. As Robert moves through his days with practiced patience, the strain of self-denial begins to surface, revealing the quiet cost of love built on sacrifice alone. Mansfield masterfully exposes the emotional imbalance of marriage, where kindness becomes obligation and tenderness hides despair. With her signature subtlety, she portrays a man whose calm exterior conceals a deep inner emptiness. Press play and step into one of Mansfield’s most quietly devastating stories -where love, duty, and identity blur, and the self slowly disappears.

    The stakes are WAR when a zealous general spares nothing in his path, until reluctant Dr. Arman Pirouzi returns to Iran after the murder of his niece. 
      
    “Filled with intrigue and shocking twists, it’s a must-read for anyone who loves political thrillers with real-world relevance.” —Jennifer Eaton, USA TODAY Bestselling Author 
    Dr. Arman Pirouzi left Iran behind for a better life in the United States until he is reluctantly recruited by the CIA and returns to Tehran, where the ruthless IRGC hunts, tortures, and routinely kills spies and traitors with brutal efficiency. His mission: locate a critical asset, extract classified intelligence, and stop a war before it starts. His challenge: survive the most dangerous city in the world, where old friends become enemies, past loves are rekindled, and death waits around any corner. Capture means torture. Failure means catastrophe. But the greatest danger of all? Trusting the wrong person. Dead Man’s Pacemaker is a high-stakes political thriller in the tradition of The Night Manager and The Tehran Initiative—a heart-pounding race against time where anyone can be your enemy. 
    Your mission starts now. Will you make it out alive?

    Lucifer took my magic. 
     
     
     
    Okay, so technically, Derrick the incubus douche took it, but he was Lucifer's guy and following orders. 
     
     
     
    Still, I can't be a witch or a Merlin without magic. Can my life get any worse? Of course, it can. 
     
     
     
    As I try to adjust and accept life without a drop of magic in my veins, Marcus disappears. Well, not exactly, more like he ghosts me. He's not returning my calls or my texts. Just when I think I finally have my love life on track, it gets derailed, and my heart is slowly torn apart. 
     
     
     
    Even if Marcus is gone, I'm not about to give up on my magic. I have plans. Crazy-ass, possible death plans, but I'll do just about anything to get my magic mojo back. 
     
     
     
    Yes, it'll be dangerous. Insane. Only a crazy person would be willing to try it. 
     
     
     
    Good thing I'm just crazy enough.

    Even with a means of propulsion, Where will they go? The locations of the colonies were kept secret from each other and from Earth. Where are the other colonies, the best potential destinations for a hyperspace ship? 
     
     
     
    And if they space to a colony, how will they be received?

    She swore off the man who broke her heart. He’s determined to win her back. 
    When Emerson hears a rumor that her ex-husband, NFL quarterback Vincent Lake, is bringing a plus-one to a wedding they’re both set to attend, she signs up for online dating and hopes to find a guy impressive enough to make her famous ex jealous for the night. 
    Vincent should be on top of the world when he leads his team to the playoffs, but when his best friend accidentally matches with Emerson, it’s like a dagger to his heart. He knows she deserves happiness after his betrayal broke their family apart, but watching her move on is proving harder than winning the Super Bowl.
