Wild Irish Heart by Tricia O'Malley

From New York Times bestselling author comes a mystical romance set on Ireland’s rocky shore.

80% Discount for a limited time – Buy now for only 0.99c or read with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

When grad student Keelin O’Brien travels to a small village to meet her grandmother, she discovers her own strange powers — and Flynn, the man who haunts her heart.

Chapter 1

The ping of the doorbell startled Keelin O’Brien from her daydream of chartering a dive boat through the Great Barrier Reef. Blinking, she shoved herself up from her messy desk and padded quietly in her Irish cottage socks to the door. Peering through the hole, she saw Frank, her overly friendly mailman.
“Hi, Frank,” Keelin said as she eased the door open, careful to hide her clutter from his view.
“Hi, Keelin. I’ve got a special package for you today,” Frank said. “International!”
“Really? I haven’t ordered anything. How interesting.” Keelin signed for the package and Frank raised his eyebrows at her. It was clear he expected her to open the package in front of him.
“Thanks, Frank. Gotta run!” Keelin shut the door with her foot and examined the small package as she wandered toward her kitchen. The cheerful blue of her kitchen walls contrasted with the pile of dishes in her sink. A small window with soft yellow curtains allowed a ray of sunlight to pick up the layer of dust on her sideboard. With a sigh, Keelin made a mental note to clean.
Brushing a pile of papers aside, Keelin sat at her table and looked at the package. Rectangular-shaped and wrapped in butcher paper, it wasn’t the typical international envelope found at the post office. Twine wove around the package and what looked like an honest-to-God wax seal closed the twine. Keelin’s name and address were written in a deep brown ink, the handwriting a beautiful old calligraphy style. Keelin squinted at the return address and remembered her glasses tucked in her shirt.
Interesting, Keelin thought as she examined the address more closely. The address was smudged. It seemed almost deliberate. Keelin wondered why she suspected that it was deliberate. Only one word was easily readable: Ireland.

The Secret Life of Charlotte Dodd by Holly Kerr

The Secret Life of Charlotte Dodd by Holly Kerr

Ham loves Charlotte. Charlotte can’t remember Ham. Together they have to save the world.

“Comedy, lady-spy series with lots of tough girl, kick backside action with romance thrown in.” – Amazon review

Charlotte Dodd has a boringly average life full of temp jobs and takeout, with solo movies taking up most of her weekends. Her boyfriend isn’t much of anything, since he’d rather hang with friends than talk about the odd dreams full of spy movie snippets that keep Charlotte up at night. So when she wakes up on a private plane and handcuffed to the seat, she’s more interested in taking in the surroundings than what they want with her.

Especially the super handsome guy in the great suit who looks strangely familiar to Charlotte. But she’d remember him if they met before…wouldn’t she?

And then he tells her she’s a spy.

Not just any spy, but she’s the best agent of a covert Canadian spy organization.

Charlotte’s humdrum life is flipped upside down as she’s yanked into a world of secret agents that she has no memory of. Now she has to remember enough to save the love of her life.

Because, apparently, that’s what she does.

The Secret Life of Charlotte Dodd is the first book in the action-packed chick-lit Charlotte Dodd series, full of girl power, a family of spies, and saving the world from your ex-boyfriend.

Sail the World?

About Sail the World?:

Have you wondered how it’d be like to dump the rat race to sail around the world?
Here’s how that worked out for the author, a gripping, constantly on-the-edge-of-disaster sailing adventure punctuated by the unique and wacky characters from the worldwide cruising community, all with the same wild and crazy dream.
“My 35-foot Erickson sloop Grendel was sinking in the Pacific Ocean. I’d bragged about sailing around the world, but two hours after I began, it was a disaster. I was slip-sliding around Grendel, searching for leaks, enveloped in an eerie blanket of fog with zero visibility, surrounded by invisible hazards. Glub, glub.”

So, it didn’t go exactly as planned, a reality like nothing you could envision, a comedy of errors on land and at sea. An absurdly true story and prequel to RV the World.

Trailed

About Trailed:

Literary Titan Book Award winner for August.

U.S. Marshal A. A. Flint, retired, is no stranger to trouble. He finds himself in a slow-moving wagon rumbling across the territory of Wyoming in the company of a nagging, scheming, nit-picking, ill-tempered shrew and her insufferably prudish offspring.

Stops along the way include a stay at the lawless and highly dangerous Town of No Return.

The good news is the trio expects to find a hidden fortune in gemstones at the end of their journey. The bad news is a death-dealing gunfighter known as the Man in Black is trailing them.

“Trailed by Henry Helbog is an action-packed story that begins with a nail-biting start. The first chapter starts with a heart-stopping scene that entangles the reader in an unexpected adventure of discovery combined with curiosity and commitment. From one chapter to the next, the layers of a harsh, dystopian climate are peeled away to uncover humanity that lingers beneath, even in the direst of situations.” –Literary Titan.

Gunny Mac Private Detective Trouble in Chinatown by Steven Walker

Gunny Mac Private Detective Trouble in Chinatown by Steven Walker

No one writes like this anymore, but Walker does… As Raymond Chandler would say, “He talks like a man of his age talks – that is, with a crude wit, a lively sense of the grotesque, a disgust for a sham and a contempt for pettiness!”.

Walker’s story is based on true historical fact. In 1942 Roosevelt felt certain that Guadalcanal would fall to the Japanese. He instructed an Army general to collect and burn all the money in Hawaii and replace it with bills with Hawaii written across the back of each bill so the money would be useless to the Japanese.

Walker masterfully weaves a thrilling story about four wounded veterans, discharged because of their wounds suffered on Guadalcanal, become private detectives in Chinatown and get involved in thwarting anyone who is someone from stealing the money.

Gunny Mac, Navy Cross winner eighteen years a Marine and forced to become the one thing he hated, becoming a civilian.

Gunny Wojohowitz a Marine who came from the coal fields in Clymer, Pennsylvania and harder than woodpecker lips… Mac’s best friend.

Lt. Alan Burke, spoiled Harvard graduate and Naval officer sent to the Marine Corp for punishment as a naval gunfire forward observer seeks the one thing we all need…redemption!

Padre McCaffery the Jesuit priest assigned to the Marine Corps First Division, wins the Navy Cross and suffers a head wound…now he is different, but he shows the world how much he loves his God, his Marines, his bourbon and cigars.

Together they form a bond no one can never break… to fight one last battle for their friends, their country and their Corps.

Beneath the Dragon’s Triangle by Tony Dellamarco

Beneath the Dragon’s Triangle by Tony Dellamarco

If you could pound a stake through the heart of the Bermuda Triangle until it appeared on the opposite side of the Earth, you would be in the dreaded Dragon’s Triangle. What better place to hide a weapon of mass destruction?

A simple phone call from a friend at sea throws Andrea, a graduate of Yale University with a PhD in biomedical engineering, into a world of espionage and intrigue. Did her friend, a deep-sea diver working for a company repairing communication cables, really find a mysterious object buried one thousand feet below the ocean’s surface, and could it be of any importance? Why did this phone call from the billions made each day trigger a covert group, a remnant of Nazi Germany, to come out of the shadows to claim this object, and, like a virus, systematically destroy anyone who stands in its way of recovering what it lost so many years ago? The reputation of the Dragon’s Triangle for unexplained events is just beginning a new chapter.

An obvious neophyte in this deadly game where people are starting to disappear, Andrea has nowhere to turn. A chance encounter with a NYPD officer might strengthen her chance of survival. Sean is a retired Navy SEAL officer who teams up with Andrea only to find that they are both in over their heads. The enemy seems to have limitless power, and there is only one person Sean knows who can help them stay alive. He turns to Paul O, a man of great wealth who owns a company that builds ships and satellites for the U.S. government. A private war breaks out with Paul, Andrea, and Sean, pitted against an unknown, fanatical group that takes place in the air, on and beneath the sea, and on land. Will they survive, and if they do, how will it change them?

Three people from different walks of life meld into a tenacious team, never giving up when the chips are down and all seems lost. Who will be the first to sacrifice their life for the others, and does Andrea stay a victim, or does she become a force to reckon with that takes the strongest of men by surprise?
