Maison d'édition: Defiance Press and Publishing

Synopsis

Staff Sergeant Mack Murphy was a dedicated Force Recon Marine with a promising future until tragedy struck. When his wife Renée and twin infant daughters are killed in what appears to be a hit-and-run accident, Mack's world shatters. But the trial of Marco Bertoli, son of a notorious mob boss, ends in an acquittal that defies all evidence and logic.
 
Driven by grief and an unquenchable thirst for justice, Mack returns to combat in Iraq, taking increasingly dangerous risks that worry even his closest comrades. When a mission in Ramadi goes catastrophically wrong, Mack is presumed dead under the rubble of an exploded building. But in this moment of destruction, he discovers an unexpected opportunity for redemption—or retribution.
 
Now officially deceased, Mack vanishes into a new identity, meticulously planning his return with a single purpose: to deliver the justice the courtroom failed to provide. As he transforms himself into the ultimate weapon, he infiltrates a shadowy world of human trafficking and organized crime. With nothing left to lose and no one to answer to, Mack becomes the hunter his enemies never see coming.
 
A gripping tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the thin line between justice and vengeance, The Wolf Hunter delivers heart-pounding action and a protagonist fueled by raw determination. If you enjoyed "American Assassin," "Without Remorse," and "Orphan X," you'll love The Wolf Hunter.

The Vampire and the Case of the...

Heather G. Harris, Jileen 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.

Ghost Haste - A Cozy Mystery...

ReGina Welling, Erin Lynn

Everly Dupree's ex is a criminal, and now the FBI thinks she's his partner.Which
 is just the cherry on top of a week that already includes ghost drama, 
nosy neighbors, and a suspicious white van parked across the street.She
 might not have wanted to help murdered ghosts with their unfinished 
business, but Everly used to think she was at least good at it.Until
 Amber Hale—the spunky, throttled-to-death reporter who decided it would
 be more fun to stick around and haunt Everly for the rest of her life. 
(Which, at this rate, may not be much longer.)Then Everly's 
ex-husband, Paul, mysteriously vanishes amid (totally true) allegations 
of fraud, and the FBI starts asking very pointed questions—all aimed at 
Everly.Suddenly she’s got agents watching her every move, 
neighbors placing bets on her arrest, and no choice but to dust off her 
amateur sleuth hat (again) to investigate the very people she’s been 
trying so hard to forget.To survive the fallout, Everly will 
have to admit that Amber is as helpful as she is annoying, and accept 
her ghostly assistance if she wants to make it out of this one without 
becoming the next headline.Or worse—the next ghost.

Secrets of the Eternal Flame -...

Heather G. Harris, Ella Stone

Magic is in my blood, but trouble is in my bones. 
I thought tracking down an Eternal Flame would be the hardest part of this trip. Turns out, I was wrong. Between a hidden magical village, a smug lake monster, and a high priestess who may or may not hold the key to fixing my mistakes, I’m starting to think I should have stayed in bed. 
But I don’t have that luxury. My magic is growing stronger by the day, but it’s volatile, and if I don’t get a grip, I won’t just lose control - I’ll lose everything. 
Kaz’s life hangs by a thread, the fire I was born to protect is fading, and now, to top it off, magical objects are vanishing from under our noses. A stolen grimoire, a missing goblet, and a determined old goblin convinced there’s a thief on the loose… and somehow, I’m the one tasked with solving the mystery. 
Then there’s Fraser, steadfast, infuriatingly level-headed, and always there when I need him. He’s been by my side through all of this, even when I’ve given him every reason to walk away. But with my past catching up to me and my future in the balance, I can’t afford any distractions - especially not the kind that makes my heart race. 
If I don’t prove myself worthy of the Flame, everything I’ve fought for - my family’s legacy, my magic, and possibly my own soul - could be lost forever. 
No pressure, right?
