    “Thriller writing at its best.” 
    --Midwest Book Review (Any Means Necessary)
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    LETHAL STRIKE (Book #2) is the second book in a gripping new action thriller series from the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews). The series begins with LETHAL FORCE (Book #1).
    
    Former Army Ranger and ex-NASCAR driver Derek Vesper is used to high velocity, whether its wheels, wings or skis. Assumed to be KIA in a firefight, Derek, unknown to anyone, uses his unique skills as a secret government operator to work outside the scope of protocol and to embrace the most dangerous—and fraught—of missions….
    
    In LETHAL STRIKE (Book #2), as a sabotaged cargo ship loaded with experimental weapons barrels toward the Eastern Seaboard, Derek Vesper has one impossible option: chase it down through hurricane waters. As communications fail and mercenaries close in, the deadliest storm may be the one waiting on deck.
    
    The Derek Vesper series delivers pulse-racing thrills and knife-edge suspense that seizes your attention with an iron grip. Featuring spectacular action sequences and mind-blowing twists, this series will propel you through a rollercoaster ride, from dynamite openings to jaw-dropping finales. Ideal for readers who love the works of Daniel Silva, Brad Taylor, and Vince Flynn.

    Welcome to the club "Whip" where all your darkest desires will be fulfilled... 
    Books included: 
    1. The Manny 
    David Cross’s life is a mess. Between juggling a demanding job, a brilliant but impossible son, and a string of nannies who quit before their first paycheck, he’s barely keeping it together. He needs help—desperately. 
    Enter Mihail Turgenev. Young, quiet, and carrying enough baggage to fill a cargo plane, Mihail is the last person David expects to be the solution to his problems. 
    What starts as a practical arrangement quickly becomes something else entirely. Because Mihail isn't just changing Leo’s life—he’s changing David’s too. Piece by piece, the guarded young man with haunted eyes and a hidden past begins to unravel everything David thought he knew about himself. 
    2. The Brother 
    Stefan swore he was done with love. After a brutal breakup and the humiliation of watching his ex move on—engagement ring and all—he’s resigned himself to a life of work, solitude, and carefully guarded emotions. Love, as far as he’s concerned, is a story best left unfinished. 
    But then his new PA walks through the door—sharp-witted, infuriatingly competent, and a redhead, of all things. A haunting echo of the past, yet entirely his own kind of chaos, Sasha disrupts the quiet existence Stefan has built for himself. 
    He tells himself it’s nothing. A coincidence. A trick of the heart. But as the walls he’s so carefully rebuilt start to crumble, Stefan is forced to wonder—has fate handed him a cruel reminder, or an unexpected chance to rewrite his story?

    Something is troubling Inspector Henry Cutter. Sergeant Gideon Bliss is accustomed to his ill-tempered outbursts, but lately the inspector has grown silent and withdrawn. Then, the murders begin. The first to die is the elderly Sir Aneurin Considine, a decorated but obscure civil servant who long ago retired to tend his orchids. If the motive for his killing is a mystery, the manner of his death is more bewildering still. The victims that follow suffer similar fates, their deaths gruesome but immaculately orchestrated. The murderer comes and goes like a ghost, leaving only carefully considered traces. As the hunt for this implacable adversary mounts, the inspector's gloom deepens, and to Sergeant Bliss, his methods seem as mystifying as the crimes themselves. 
     
     
     
    Why is he digging through dusty archives while the murderer stalks further victims? And as hints of past wrongdoing emerge—and with them the faint promise of a motive—why does Cutter seem haunted by some long-ago failing of his own? To find the answers, the meek and hapless sergeant must step out of the inspector's shadow. Aided by Octavia Hillingdon, a steely and resourceful journalist, Bliss will uncover truths that test his deepest beliefs. 
     
     
     
    Hypnotic and twisty, The Naming of the Birds will leave you questioning what matters most—solving a case or serving justice.

    Bestselling author Alexandra Ivy's newest adventure in the Magic for Hire series returns to the small New Jersey bookstore and mage's office, Witch's Brew, where Maya, Peri, and Skye match wits against a thief with skills like they've never seen . . .  
     
    Wynn takes what she wants. Nothing stops her: not walls, not spells, not even a coven of clever mages. Certainly not rules. Her immunity to magic gives her access to rare artifacts and a life of luxury, but her cunning, fearlessness, and defiant nature protect her in a world where no one cares. It's worked for centuries—but now the horrible dreams haunting her suggest a corruption has gotten past her guard. Inconvenient timing, since somehow a mysterious stranger is tracking her, moving closer with every job. 
     
    When he finally catches up, Azh is like no one Wynn's ever known. Gorgeous, secretive, and oddly protective, he seems to think the corruption burning through Wynn is an ancient curse on his people, the dragons who are trapped in hibernation. She can't trust him, even if the tingly feeling she gets when he’s near is its own kind of magic. But as Wynn's enemies close in, Azh makes for an irresistible ally. And if they can uncover the truth about the treachery that's warped both their pasts, she'll see where his loyalties truly lie . . .

    Since the Battle of Little Bighorn, George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876) possessed one of the most unique places in American history. Although he was a capable cavalry officer who served honorably during the Civil War, he remains one of the most instantly identifiable and famous military men in American history due to the fact he was killed during one of the country’s most well known and ignominious defeats, the Battle of Little Bighorn. And yet, this one relatively insignificant battle during America’s Indian Wars has become one of the country’s most mythologized events and continues to fascinate Americans nearly 140 years later. Though he’s now best remembered for “Custer’s Last Stand”, Custer mastered the art of public relations, dressing impeccably and having newspaper correspondents accompany him on the campaign, all in an effort to help cultivate and enhance his legacy. For nearly 58 years, Elizabeth Bacon Custer was probably the most famous widow in the world. In this lively, fascinating, loving portrait of life on the plains with her already-famous husband, Libbie tells a civilized audience of the excitement, fun, and perils endured at a remote frontier post. Intelligent and beautiful, Libbie was a partner, confidant, and booster to the general, as well as an important figure in the social life of the posts he commanded. This book has been used as source material on the general's life as well as the frontier army for well over a century. Celebrated among the prominent people of her day, Libbie never remarried after Custer's death at the Little Bighorn in 1876. She spent the rest of her life writing and lecturing about him, burnishing his reputation and keeping his memory alive. Long a jewel of western Americana, this book continues to find and entertain new audiences in the 21st century.

The island holds special meaning for Sandra, and she can’t wait to share it with Charles. She also plans to confront her past by visiting the beach where her younger sister Abbey drowned years earlier. There, she can also reflect on another more recent loss: the death of her son Preston. 
    Fishing, snorkeling, and sipping cold beverages at The Key Lime High make for the relaxing and enjoyable escape the Durros desperately desired. But when the body of a young woman washes ashore, things take a wild and perilous turn.
