  Mars the Warning 
  Book 3 of 6 – the fractured alliance. 
  This completely new third story in the series I have written is summarized below; 
  As humanity fractures over how to respond to the awakened Martians, Dr. Lin Mei’s diplomatic faction attempts peaceful communication, while General Drake’s militarists launch devastating attacks. Lin’s team deciphers Martian signals, learning of their ancient civilization and the pain caused by human terraforming. But Drake’s assault provokes a brutal retaliation—crystalline weapons dismantle human outposts. When Drake prepares to annihilate Mars with the Dreadnought’s orbital lance, Lin and her allies stage a mutiny aboard Olympus Station. In a zero-gravity showdown, Lin disables the weapon, but not before the Martians unleash their final warning: towering spires that render Mars uninhabitable for humans. Escaping with a handful of survivors, Lin receives a cryptic star map—a Martian offering of a new world, on the condition humanity never returns. As Earth’s exodus begins, Mars transforms, its surface shimmering with alien rebirth. The survivors carry forward a fragile hope: coexistence may yet be possible, but only by respecting boundaries older than humankind itself.  
  This is the third of six audiobooks in the series, the others will be in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this third one, and its only $3. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 plus minutes sets the scene, so to speak, this is heavy metal first but give it a chance and you will be surprised (I felt the martian beings would be extremely angry over humans trying to steal their planet hence the sound) ends with a warning sound music track like an alarm as the next episode will see them emerge to do battle, 1 minutes plus.  
  The book itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.

  Maxim Thorn is a ruthless Alpha, a mobster king who rules his pack with an iron fist. He’s also my only hope. 
  As a shifter from the wrong side of the tracks who’s just been rejected by my abusive fated mate, I don’t have a lot of options in this city. 
  I have no choice but to make a deal with the devil. 
  But that doesn’t mean I’m powerless. I have an ace up my sleeve, a bargaining chip Maxim can’t resist. He wants revenge on my pack leaders for poisoning his father, and I hold the key to his enemy’s destruction. 
  In exchange for one month of protection from my ex and his friends, I promise to give Maxim what he wants—me. 
  I expect honoring the bargain to be pure hell. I don’t expect to ignite every time we touch or to develop a soft spot for this wounded wolf. His blood calls to mine, and I’m starting to think this wicked king may have a heart after all. 
  But is there room in his world for love? Or am I destined to become a pawn in his dark game? 
  *This is book one in a quartet. It ends in a cliffhanger.*

  All it took was one dirty call. 
  Kade 
  When he mistakenly dialed that number seven months ago, he had no idea the woman on the other end would change his life. Girlfriends were a figment of his imagination; a few nights of fun were the best he was willing to give. But, now that he’s had her in his arms and in his bed, he’s determined to make her his forever. Even if she’s hell-bent on getting in her own way.  
  Jessica 
  She shocked herself when she allowed his sexy words to send her over the edge. It was supposed to end there. It should have ended there. But now she’s hooked—with one thing standing between her and happiness... He’s her boss. And even though she said it couldn’t be more, she can’t let go.  
  Sneaking around is all fun and games until one—or both—of them start to catch feelings. 
  DIRTY ENDEAVORS is a steamy BWWM office romance and is book two in the Dirty Love Duet.

  When Rachel Murdock and her sister Jennifer receive a call for help from their favorite niece, Lilly, in Breakers Beach, California, they quickly hop a train from Los Angeles to see her—but not before collecting their prized cat Samantha in a picnic basket and bringing her along for the ride. Samatha, it turns out, is an heiress, the inheritor of a fortune left by a wealthy relative, and so the attempt at the cat's life, made right after they arrive, comes as a shock. The cat survives, but unfortunately, Lilly, murdered soon thereafter, is not so lucky. 
   
   
   
  By the time the police arrive, the clues are already falling into place. The source of Lilly's trouble is revealed to be a gambling debt incurred during an attempt to cheat at bridge, and the suspects in her slaying quickly pile up. But then another corpse is discovered, buried in the nearby sand, and it becomes clear that the killing spree concerns more than just the young lady's personal money trouble. With the authorities distracted by lurid details, it's up to Rachel and her furry friend to uncover the subtleties containing the solution to the puzzle. 
   
   
   
  A prototypical early "cat mystery," written before the subgenre became a staple of cozy mystery fiction, The Cat Saw Murder is an entertaining and endlessly surprising whodunit.
