About Accidental Secrets:

She’s been hiding something from him. Until now…

Her
He was my childhood sweetheart.
Then it all went wrong and my mom tore us apart.
Ever since then I’ve kept my secret.
I haven’t had a choice.
Fourteen years later, just thinking about him makes my stomach flip.
I still remember his citrus smell, the way he used to gently hold my hand.
And then… It turns out he’s living in the same damn town.
But he’s not the Mike I remember.
He’s dark and dangerous, covered in ink.
He’s completely and utterly mouth-watering.
His whiskey-colored eyes blaze as he catches sight of me.
And it’s just a matter of time before he finds out the truth…
The question is, will he forgive me?

Him
She was my ride or die.
And she left without even saying goodbye.
Left me with nothing but a broken heart.
Since then, I’ve struggled to get close to anyone.
It’s pathetic – who else clings to their high-school love?
And then, all these years later, I see her.
But Rachel’s not how I remember.
Her wavy, raven hair frames her sexy sea-blue eyes.
Her perfect hourglass figure has curves in all the right places.
She’s pin-up girl hot. And I refuse to let her get away this time.
Next thing, we’re in suite 108.
I’m unbuttoning her blouse, tasting every inch of her.
She’s screaming in pleasure.
She’s begging for more.
Everything’s perfect.
Except for one thing…
She’s hiding one hell of a secret.
And when I find out what it is, do I have it in me to forgive her?
Or will I be the one walking away without a goodbye this time?

This is a full-length, standalone romance with some hot-under-the-collar action, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA. Accidental Secrets features a sexy, tattooed alpha and a steamy second-chance love story that will have you totally addicted!

Forgotten Valor by Richard Thomas Lane

About Forgotten Valor by Richard Thomas Lane

An untested lieutenant. An unwinnable war. An impossible choice that could tear his platoon apart. Korea, 1950. Lt. Jonas Stuyvesant’s privileged upbringing hadn’t prepared him for the hardships of war. But when North Korea launches a surprise attack, he and his ragtag platoon suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a war not even Washington expected. And instead of North Korean peasants armed with pitchforks, Jonas and his fellow soldiers find themselves up against armored Soviet tanks and battle-tested hardened soldiers.

Outgunned and outnumbered, his platoon retreats from Osan through Taejon on down the whole length of the Korean Peninsula until their backs are pressed against the sea. As the war-weary troops hunker in for a final stand, a twist of fate gives Jonas a chance to leave the deadly frontline far behind. Before their attackers close in, Jonas must make an impossible choice: leave his brothers-in-arms facing the enemy alone or sacrifice everything to stand by their side to the bitter end.

Dryad

Leave a Comment

About Dryad:

What if Humanity is just a device? An instrument to change worlds? With Earth in the grip of environmental collapse, the manipulative Dryads conspire to drive humanity to extinction. Only a grieving man and his free-spirited daughter stand in their way. They wouldn’t have a chance but for the mysterious Girl of Light, a messenger from the copse.

DRYAD is the first in a trilogy called THE DARKNESS ENGINE. Spanning the years 3300 to 3330 AD, DRYAD follows the lives of grieving scientist JAXON and his free spirited daughter EMILY. It is a story of fear, greed and manipulation that attempts to look at our world and humanity from a new perspective.

“When you look into the sky at night, what don’t you see?”

The Cloud has descended, Earth’s population has two choices: move to the only habitable areas – the far north and south – or flee to the stars.
After the great Exodus, those remaining on Earth face challenges far beyond the hardships of living on a dying planet: not only is the world run by corrupt, all-powerful corporations, with a financial and political interest in keeping the world in the grip of environmental disaster, but a darker force moves among them with a greater influence and an agenda far more twisted than anyone could possibly imagine … the Dryads: an insidious species, influencing the Earth’s key decision-makers to act on greed and disregard human life.
Emily and Jaxon are disciples of the illegal teachings of the book of Physis, preaching and preserving the long-forgotten laws and principals of nature, fighting for the survival of humanity with subversive acts of defiance. Jaxon is pursuing the elusive truth of why Emily’s mother, fellow scientist, was bludgeoned to death when she discovered a black crystal in a crater, and devoted to uncovering the hidden mysteries of that crystal. But his quest leads only to desperation and poverty as he is cast out of society. It is only when the mysterious Girl of Light appears that the crystal reveals secrets of the dark energy that it contains.

Liquid Cool: The Cyberpunk Detective Series (Liquid Cool Book 1)

Leave a Comment

About Liquid Cool: The Cyberpunk Detective Series (Liquid Cool Book 1):

The Sci-Fi Detective Thriller Gets Cool…Liquid Cool!

Liquid Cool Book #1 is the FIRST-IN-SERIES action-packed (and funny) sci-fi detective series.

Meet a private eye with a cool hat, laser gun, and attitude. But don’t touch his red hovercar — or you could get shot!

Watch him face off neon gangsters, sinister cyborgs, corporate samurai soldiers, and laser-gun shootouts while solving his cases in the rainy supercity of Metropolis. More gritty action and dark humor than you can handle.

In the debut novel, author Austin Dragon shows why you never want to meet a cyborg in a dark alley.

Liquid Cool is a mix of Blade Runner and the Maltese Falcon. It’s cyberpunk reimagined—an ever-rainy world of mega-skyscrapers, speeding hovercars, dangerous neon streets, and futuristic mechanization. Metropolis isn’t a bad place, but it isn’t a good one either. Governments and megacorporations fight for control of the fifty-million-plus super-city, but so does crime.

It’s here we meet Cruz, our private eye (and unlikely hero), in this supercity with a million victims and perpetrators.

Welcome to the high-tech, low-life world of Liquid Cool.

THE ELFKIN JOURNALS: Blending of hte Races by JDeVereS

Leave a Comment

THE ELFKIN JOURNALS: Blending of hte Races by JDeVereS

Free on Amazon 12/3 – 12/7 – HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

“The Elfkin Journals: Blending of the Races” – is the first book in a trilogy examining the potential of quantum entanglement at a matrix level versus a particle level.

A what?

It is a sci-fi/fantasy novel based on elements of real science. This first novel is a saga of love, courage, adventure and personal growth at an interdimensional level. It is the author’s intent to explore both key elements of theoretical science while addressing the proven philosophy that “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”!

In this saga, a team of “misfits” must deal with a corrupt empire that has lost “the common touch”.

In the tradition of Tolkien and Asimov – this story attempts to open the reader’s mind to new thoughts and greater realities.

Excerpt 1:

Partially visible, in the flickering light of his cooking stove, Ramas sat alone. With a small paring knife, he shaved a piece of softwood into the image of a tiny female Fae. He was a master craftsman, and every detail folded perfectly into place as his deft hands carefully shaped the wooden image. Each line, each feature, was being pulled from the locked chambers of his mind. As the figure emerged, it opened the sealed floodgates of his memories. When finished, he set it on his cooking table and closed his eyes. Tears touched his cheeks, symbols speaking silently of lost opportunities. Reaching out with his mind, he sought a connection; sweat dripped from his forehead, his breathing became short, his body ached as he sat motionless, waiting for her to come to life. He knew the connection could only last a moment, so he had to be ready to act.
He would never know if he waited a few minutes or hours, the full level of his consciousness dedicated to preparing for the strike. “There!” The sensation was weak and disoriented, but he shaped the patterns that Muirisc and Ala taught him. He projected them as soon as he made contact, a tiger striking with deadly precision. Slamming a mind lock in place and then opening a pathway into her dreams.
The first time he ‘touched’ her… weeks ago, it had been a momentary glimpse through the long tunnel of a vacuum-sealed dream void. Ramas had struggled to find ‘his voice’ in the dream but managed to catch her attention. For some reason, the words he tried to shape came out as a series, of course, squawks. By the time he remembered that in the dream-scape he was a crow, it was too late to change forms. All he could do was pull her away from the gate and cause her to sleep. “Next time!”
…
This time, he held the open dream longer, he inserted himself and took the time necessary to build a permanent link. When the connection snapped, he gently caressed the reed-flute that lay next to him on the table and started to plan their next meeting. Now he had time.
Picking up his flute, he began to play a merry tune as he stared at the wooden figure and imagined it springing into life! After a moment, he paused as a single tear of joy flowed from his right eye. With his right index finger, he took the big drop and used the moisture to form three hieroglyphic characters that shaped an ancient Elfkin proverb.
“The only lasting treasures are those you can hold in your heart… not in your hands!”

Excerpt 2:

With Ramas at his side, Garith surveyed the tiny Team that would be responsible for reorganizing the Rebel Forces on Alyssoria.
“A few of the rebel leaders, on this planet, remember us from the past… but they are not the same; they are soft now, no longer hungry!” Ramas shook his head. “Be careful… don’t trust anyone too much, if you must trust someone, trust the troops of the Ranian general, Ragnar ‘Strong Arms’.”
Garith nodded his head in agreement as he carefully surveyed the members of his rebel strike force. They wanted to appear on the planet as hard-core military leaders… ‘bouncing in’ wearing vision goggles did not create the image they sought. The team needed to inspire confidence.
“Remember, you need to restore their confidence in us… a big part will be in the initial impression you make on their leaders. He paused briefly for effect. “Put on your best battle faces, puff up your chests… disguise your fair natures with controlled fury, and act as the leaders we’ve trained you to be!”
“Except for you!” Garith pointed directly at Ala. “Remember, you are pretending to be deathly sick and need to be immediately transported to a safe place to rest.”
Even in the darkness of the chamber, Garith could sense the cold stare Ala gave him. She was not her nature to be weak or timid.
“There is nothing else Ramas, and I can teach you in preparation for this challenge… our chances of success will depend more on your brains rather than your swords.” Garith panned a slow, hard-eyed, look across the team, then shaped a small smile. “Remember, all you have to do is defeat a minor God!”
