The Man With No Face by Wataru Lennard

The Man With No Face by Wataru Lennard

Born with a face the world couldn’t look past, “G” spent years hiding in the background. But when a life-changing surgery gives him a new face, he doesn’t stop there—he reshapes his entire body, forging himself into the man he’s always wanted to be.

Along the way, he falls for an online acquaintance—a brilliant, compassionate woman with a disability. As their connection deepens, G discovers that love isn’t about perfection but about seeing and being seen for who you truly are.

When his artistic laptop designs catch the attention of a powerful Silicon Valley executive, G is thrust into a world of innovation and ambition. Climbing the corporate ladder with a mind as sharp as his designs, he becomes indispensable to the company—and to the CEO, who sees in him the potential for something even greater.

With the chance to change the world one invention at a time, G must navigate success, love, and the weight of expectation. But as he rises to new heights, will he stay true to himself, or will the pressures of power reshape him once more?

A story of transformation, love, and ambition, The Man With No Face is a journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of something greater than oneself.

Reaper – a Task Force Raven Thriller by Sam Stone

Reaper – a Task Force Raven Thriller by Sam Stone

REAPER – A Task Force Raven Thriller
In the aftermath of a devastating terrorist attack on a U.S. Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, Major Jake Baylor faces his most personal mission yet. When a VBIED explosion and mortar attack kills dozens, including his best friend Clint McNamara, Baylor and his elite Task Force Raven spring into action.

What appears to be a brutal cartel assault is actually something far more sinister—a coordinated diversion allowing ISIS operative Abu Waleed Hassan, known as “The Reaper,” and his team of jihadists to slip across the border undetected. As Baylor and his team of Texas Rangers with special operations backgrounds race to track down the terrorists, they find themselves operating in the shadows of bureaucracy, caught between political agendas and the urgent need to prevent another attack.

From interrogating a high-level cartel operative in a remote Texas ranch to conducting off-the-books operations in Mexico, Task Force Raven follows the trail of breadcrumbs leading to Hassan’s deadly plot. When suicide bombers strike San Antonio’s Riverwalk, killing hundreds, the clock starts ticking on an even more catastrophic attack aimed at Houston’s petrochemical infrastructure.

In this high-stakes thriller that blends military action with law enforcement tactics, Baylor must confront not only the external threat but also his own grief and rage. As federal agencies squabble over jurisdictional authority and media narratives, Task Force Raven operates with a simple directive from Texas Governor Robert Williamson: “Find them, and make sure they can never hit us again.”

With time running out and lives on the line, Baylor will need every skill he’s honed from years with both the Texas Rangers and Special Forces to bring the terrorists to justice—or stop them permanently.

Renovating My Bossy Billionaire Grump by Aria McDow

Renovating My Bossy Billionaire Grump by Aria McDow

I came to renovate the British billionaire’s paradise resort… now I’m leaving with an island bump.

Winning a design competition brought me to Damon King’s outdated island resort.

An encounter in a dodgy elevator, and I mistake the powerful owner for a hot-looking construction worker with salt and pepper stubble.
One heated glance and I’m undone.

But working for Damon? Pure hell.
He hates change—on his island, in his life, in his heart.

He guards his secrets well, but watching him with his little girl reveals the tender heart beneath that no-nonsense exterior.

When a tropical storm strands us together those walls he’s built crumble against my fingertips.
Calloused hands caress my flesh…his smooth tongue takes me to downtown ecstasy.

I see — beach walks, candlelit dinners, a future bright as the Caribbean sun with a man learning to love again.
Until his college-aged daughter arrives. One look at me—close in age—and her accusations of “gold-digger” hurt.

Now I’m back in Tennessee, hugging the toilet each morning, wondering why I told the baby daddy that I left with much more than a great resume.

Some renovations are messier than others.
