War Games by Sheridan Anne

War Games by Sheridan Anne

What do you do when the killers come out to play? When it’s hunt or be hunted?

You sharpen your knives and prepare to get bloody because nobody does it better than a woman scorned with something to prove.

Welcome to the 23rd annual serial killer war games, where the adrenaline runs high, the blood is fresh, and the revenge is best served cold.

Descending on the town of Blue Springs, Montana, twenty of the most cunning and skilled killers and assassins will come together for a month-long war, battling it out to claim their place at the top of the food chain, claiming the ultimate victory.

It’s callous, cruel, and brutal. They will be hunted. They will become prey. And when the time comes, they better be ready to fight. Because only one will make it out alive.

It’s a game of endurance. A game of depravity and horror. But what happens when the man who stands between an early grave and victory is the one man who could bring you to your knees?

Will you have the courage to take what’s yours and claim the title you’ve always deserved, or will you falter at the tip of his double-edged blade?

My Second Change’s Secret Baby by Aria McDow

A brother’s best friend. The girl-next-door with a secret.
A second chance only comes once.

My brother’s best friend was the last boy I ever should have fake-dated.

We played with fire and both got burned.

I gave him my V-card and the keys to my heart.

He left to escape a future he didn’t want.

He has no idea he left a part of his body with me, in a baby whose eyes look just like his.

It’s me, my baby and my artist career.

I’m good. I think.

But I can’t get him out of my heart, and I can still feel the stroke of his hands.

Years later, the boy returned—an ex-SEAL with scars, secrets, and

a body that reignited the lust and longing in the woman I’d become.

Like a moth to a flame, we lost our minds between the sheets again.

But his family is still trying to control his future.

Neither his demons nor his family’s political dynasty include me, or the daughter he doesn’t know.

Will I find the courage to fight for love and risk my heart no matter what?

New Year, New Number by Dee Ellis

New Year, New Number by Dee Ellis

Croix Fiche

Being a nice guy has gotten me nowhere. I let “the one” get away with my former partner. I have given up on love, on friendship—and on ever finding the happiness we’re all seeking. It is a new year so I figure I can start fresh with this new way of thinking. If I won’t get happiness, at least I can have a good time.

When Camrin texts me by mistake, chatting with her is just a good time. Just fun between strangers. It does not have to mean anything…does it?

Camrin Stokes

It stings to be left on read. To be ghosted. I came to Pine Grove after everything started to go wrong. I thought a fresh start in the new year was worth taking the leap. Another wrong number seems par for the course.

Only, Croix does not ghost me or leave me on read—he responds. He listens to my sad stories. He makes me laugh and hope again…but it’s just a wrong number, just a stranger on the end of the line.

Could it be more?
