Tin Can Tommies: Darkest Hour by Mark C. Jones

“Three-hundred and sixty-five pages of pure unadulterated Dieselpunk!” The Dieselpunk Podcast Network

“From beginning to end, it leads you on an adventure that is well worth the investment. A hero worthy of Lamour, a cast worthy of Jacques, and a plot twist out of Crichton.” Jay Krauss

“The setting is incredible, the storytelling is engaging, and the characters are layered and unique.” Darren Heiderman

“Completely enjoyable read, brilliantly silly in the best possible ways, just like the old Commando comics. Highly recommended if you like you WW2.” Keith Stockburn

A reluctant young hero haunted by the ghosts of his past. A team of mechanical warriors resurrected for one last stand. A tyrannical dictator hell-bent on exploiting the atom…

June 1940. As Blitzkrieg burns through Europe, Corporal Jack Stone escapes Dunkirk by the skin of his teeth leaving Germany with its prize in sight across the English Channel: Great Britain – a stubborn little island that now stands alone.

Recruited by Winston Churchill to lead a team of robot commandos – veteran machines of the Great War nicknamed the Tin Can Tommies – Jack must venture into battle once again on an audacious mission deep behind enemy lines. But with dissention in the ranks, a traitor in their midst and Jack’s nemesis hot on his heels, the odds are stacked against them.

Whatever happens, the Tommies will be in the thick of it – but as time runs out Jack will find himself in a deadly battle for survival as he confronts not only the shadows of his past, but an enemy whose insidious plan for world domination threatens the freedom of mankind itself.

Echoing the great British war films of the seventies, DARKEST HOUR is the first in a series of gripping wartime adventures featuring Jack Stone and the Tin Can Tommies – with explosive action, twists, thrills and a cast of compelling characters – this is dieselpunk military sci-fi with a pulp comic WW2 twist!

Palm Beach Nasty (Charlie Crawford Palm Beach Mysteries Book 1) by Tom Turner

For fans of Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, and Stuart Woods comes Tom Turner’s “entertaining debut” (Publishers Weekly) set in glitzy Palm Beach, FL―where the residents are as treacherous as they are rich.

Burned out by high-profile murders in New York and his love life splashed all over Page Six, homicide cop Charlie Crawford heads south and signs on with the Palm Beach PD. After months of petty crimes, he’s first on scene to find a man hanging from a banyan tree.

Prime suspects are a hedge-fund billionaire with a thing for young girls and a bartender with a sketchy past and a ten-out-of-ten creep factor. Right in the middle of it all is Crawford’s girlfriend, a beautiful, conniving gallery owner, ready to do whatever it takes to move up a bracket or two. Add to the mix a sultry real estate broker who knows where all the bodies are buried, a gorgeous forensic cop often one step ahead of Crawford, a Mutt and Jeff combo of stone cold killers and you’ve got Palm Beach Nasty. “Turner’s Palm Beach is a blend of desperate criminals, social climbers, merciless billionaires and surprising heroes,” said Publishers Weekly. “Taut and efficient,” Booklist said, and added, “it’s a pleasure to watch craftsmen at work, and that describes the author as well as the cops.”

Rule Breaker By Accidentby Ali Parker

Don’t date clients.

One rule.

Easy enough, or so I thought.

Until this hot surgeon that I’ve been dating off and on becomes a client.

It was a casual fling, a fun summer love affair.

Until it wasn’t.

My heart wasn’t ready to fall so hard for this bad boy in scrubs.

The secrets he has hidden in his past stop me dead in my tracks.

But he isn’t giving up on us. Not for anything.

And I have to decide where I stand.

Break the rules or walk away from the best thing I’ve ever had.

Because after all, life in Waterford must look Instagram perfect at all times.

With her mental health in tatters and her marriage on the brink of imploding, Elizabeth fights to protect her family, her reputation, and her sanity. The past, however, has a way of not being forgotten.

The Thunder Rollsby Ali Parker

She's far too old for me, but age is just a number.

Crazily enough, I've loved her since I was a little boy.

But I'm not little anymore.

And she's a widow now.

No way in hell I'm letting this chance go by now that I'm in her hometown.

I don't give a damn what people say.

The biggest struggle is to get this beautiful woman to see me as more than a rowdy Dawson boy.

I've got more to offer her than any man she might find.

Prying my way into her life isn't going to be easy, but it'll be more than worth it.

My heart is already hers. Time to add in my future, my money, and my body.

Hope she's willing to light up the night with me.

'Cause there's a storm rolling in.

Me.
