When Koliwe leaves England for a new job in overseas aid in Eswatini, formerly the Kingdom of Swaziland, she encounters a world of clashing beliefs, wealthy ex-pats and sexual predators. As she uncovers the corruption at the heart of the aid community, she is forced to reassess her own identity and confront those who seek to undermine her.
A compelling story of exploitation and cultural collision...

    Jess: Meet Mark Donovan. Ex-Army sniper. CEO of a multi-billion dollar global empire. Chiseled to the nth degree. And a man I want nothing to do with. 
     
     
     
    I know the type. Dangerous. Sexy. A bad-boy who fills out a Tom Ford suit or pair of Calvin's in equally drool-worthy ways. At his core, the worst kind of heartbreaker. The kind who doesn't even know he did it. 
     
     
     
    Mark: Eight years ago I nearly died. And it wasn't that I didn't remember her. I didn't recognize her. There's a difference. 
     
     
     
    She was a kid. And I was a soldier . . . Two seconds from deploying with her brother for our third, and final, tour. One I wasn't sure I'd be coming back from. She thinks I don't remember. That kiss was beautiful. Innocent. It kept me alive when I thought it might be my last. How could I ever forget? 
     
     
     
    I came back broken. Heartless. Ruthless. I grew rich beyond my wildest dreams by burying the best parts of myself. Who I was. What I'd been through. Killing away all the pieces of me that mattered . . . everything except that kiss. 
     
     
     
    So, shove me off all you want, country girl. Because you've just landed in my sights, and you're about to be mine. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Mason Miller is a lion in hiding. But what he hides from is nothing tangible. With no enemy to fight, he drowns out memories of the past using his sexual prowess to keep up his playboy reputation around Lake Haven Lodge. And when that no longer works, he throws himself into fighting other people’s battles. There is one last clanmate’s safety to secure. A Sorcera of Light who has captured his attention with her gentle grace and patient eyes. She’s the sunshine he thought he’d never feel again. But she’s threatening to pull back the shadows he’s wrapped himself in. The shadows that hide him from his past. 
    Adira The Lightest is losing herself. The light magic that makes her, her, is fading and soon she will become a Magei—one who wickedly wields dark magic. The autumnal equinox that marks the date of her transition is fast approaching. With no possibility of finding an Anchor to hold her to the light, and her heart lost to a mountain lion who doesn’t return her feelings, her situation is dire. The idea of being a danger to the clan of shifters who have become her family is unacceptable. Even if they’ve vowed to fight the darkness along with her. She can’t risk them, and she can’t risk the male she loves. 
    Mason must decide if the sunshine is worth facing his shadows. Adira must do whatever it takes to keep her people safe. The Ouachita clan comes together to fight its final battle in the epic conclusion of the Ouachita Mountain Shifters series.

    Callie Morgan is no ordinary aspiring writer. A notorious wife of a Washington lobbyist, Callie believes no publicity is bad publicity and that publishing her scandalous memoirs will help her achieve her heart's desire: a diplomatic posting. She just needs crime novelist Augusta Hawke to be her ghostwriter. It's hard to say no to Callie, but Augusta does agree to attend her dinner party. The guest list is impressive, and it's Augusta's chance to meet celebrity doctor Doc Burke. But before Augusta really gets a chance to chat with the famous humanitarian, the evening ends in his untimely death. Signs point to a heart-attack, but Augusta isn't convinced—especially when his niece tells her about the mystery woman who claimed the doctor's remains. Augusta decides to host a writer's retreat and invite all the suspects, most of whom are connected in some way with writing. Isn't that what Agatha Christie would do? But the remote lodge soon becomes snowed in, and the group starts to crack when it becomes clear the killer may not be finished killing. Can Augusta flush out the culprit before anyone else gets hurt?
