Sinossi

"Fast-paced and full of heat, this is romantic suspense done right!—New York Times bestseller Julie Ann Walker
U.S. Marshal Galen Kelly does whatever it takes to protect and serve—rules be damned. Especially when those rules try to keep him from the woman who stole his heart.

Newbie reporter Harper Allen never forgot the time she was saved from disaster by a handsome stranger—or the sensual night that followed. After he leaves the next morning without a word, she realizes she can't be too upset about the best night a man ever gave her. She could never have predicted that one year later she would be face to face with the handsome stranger—only now he is the man assigned to protect her from a senator's killer.


Galen Kelley still remembers every moment of that sizzling night with Harper. But with both a killer and the FBI on their trail, Galen needs to protect her life by pretending he was never a part of it. When he finds himself struggling to toe the professional line with the unforgettable Harper, he wonders if the very rules he was so fond of breaking were designed to protect her—or him.

The Vampire and the Case of the...

Heather G. Harris, Jilleen Dolbeare

I thought I was finally getting the hang of being a paranormal policewoman, but when one of the gemstones powering the barrier around the town is stolen, I’m as terrified as the average Joe. Of course, there’s nothing average about the Joes in this town. It’s chock full of mythical creatures, and some of them think the barrier is a waste of time.
Well, I’ve seen the cryptid monster beyond and I know we’re doomed if the magical palisade ever fails. Calling what would follow a massacre would be a gross understatement. The race is on. I need to find the gemstone before the weakened barrier fails forever and the fiend devours us all. No pressure then.
It’s a simple theft… how hard can it be to solve? Answer: Very hard. Especially when theft turns into murder.
There’s also the little outstanding matter of my date with the vampire leader, Connor, not to mention that my best friend seems to be falling apart at the seams. And if all of that isn’t enough to be cracking on with, I have a visitor due imminently. My mother.
I’d rather face the monster.
Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family and a slow-burn romance.

Sovereign Assassin

Robert New

In the tiny European country of Tantalia, Princess Niobe is being groomed to ascend to the throne. What her people don’t know is that from the age of sixteen, the Princess has been trained by her martial arts instructor, Gethan, to kill the businessman responsible for her parent’s deaths. Once Queen, she will have ‘sovereign immunity’ and be free to kill without the risk of arrest. 
Niobe strikes, but unbeknownst to her, one of her kills is caught on camera and she is identified as the assassin. Her people, however, seem accepting of the idea and of their Queen’s unconventional activities. Then a TV producer comes to her with a novel idea – how about a reality tv show about her next kill? 
Safe in the knowledge she can’t be prosecuted Niobe contemplates the offer... but there are more questions than answers... for a start – how will the world respond to a sovereign assassin? 
Sovereign Assassin is a rollicking romp of a story, fresh from the mind of speculative fiction/fantasy author Robert New, and promises to entertain, intrigue, and fascinate from beginning to end. 
"Original, interesting, entertaining, and exceptionally well written, Sovereign Assassin by talented novelist Robert New is a simply riveting read and an especially and unreservedly recommended pick." - Midwest Book Review (October 2023) 
"A thrilling, fast-paced book...run through with a seam of genuinely deep philosophy." - Read Freely

After the President nominates Duke for a cabinet post, Catherine sees her opportunity and delivers an ultimatum: either fire Pam or get ready for a very public, very ugly divorce. Duke’s sharply honed political instincts tell him exactly what he needs to do. In one abrupt, brutal meeting, Duke ends the relationship and fires her from the job she loves. But Pam is not about to go quietly: A powerful New York publisher is offering her big money for what could be the ultimate Washington tell-all. But when people around her begin dying, Pam realizes that finishing the book may be a matter of life and death—her own.
