  You will not believe what you are reading - even though it all feels so real. 
  Only a man like Smilin’ Jack could monetize civil war. After the infamous business tycoon launches a hit TV show that pits American and Confederate gladiators in brutal battles, his grisly spectacle draws the attention of psychopaths across the nation. 
  When a mysterious Christian nationalist sparks a nationwide manhunt after a string of massacres in the name of his God, Department of Homeland Security analyst Victoria Morales plunges into a deadly race against time to track down the elusive terrorist and prevent more bloodshed. 
  But with no leads, and constrained by government regulations, the FBI is left grasping at straws. Vicky is sick and tired of fighting a maniac with one hand tied behind her back – and she’s fed up with the violent culture glamorized by television shows like Coliseum. 
  As the fight between the gladiators spirals into a personal vendetta, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish the world of make-believe and that of reality. The Archangel doesn’t play by the rules – and to stop him, Vicky will have to take the law into her own hands. 
  Can Vicky take down the Archangel and prevent his twisted holy war? Or has Coliseum inspired so much hate that it’s pushed America over the edge? 
  Step into a gritty and suspenseful near-future thriller that delves into hard-hitting themes of American militarism and Christian nationalist terrorism. In a world where America’s fractures are portrayed through televised battles for all to see, Coliseum is a chilling exploration of what we’re willing to accept in the name of entertainment.

  Charlotte Browne could just kick herself. What on earth possessed her to tell the Duke of Rockford that she is a lady? But something about the duke’s handsomeness and kind intelligence makes Charlotte blurt out the teeniest, tiniest falsehood. Now it’s too late to admit she’s just plain Charlotte of no particular importance—with cinder-stained hands, a wretched stepfather, and no prospects for marriage. Rafe Dorchester, Duke of Rockford, has done what every self-respecting duke must do—avoid marriage at all costs. But the only thing stronger than the duke is his mother, and she lays down the highest ultimatum: he’ll need to find a duchess, immediately. Only, when he calls on a potential bride, he instead finds the pert, fresh-faced Lady Charlotte. Rafe was warned to never mix the business of marriage with pleasure, but when it comes to Lady Charlotte…oh, business would be a splendid pleasure. Except Charlotte knows that true life is nothing like the penny romances she reads. The duke can’t actually end up with a maid. When her vile stepbrother catches her coming from the gardens with the duke close on her heels, Charlotte knows just what he’ll do. And there’s only one way to save them all from scandal…
