Ice on the Grapevine (A Hunter Rayne Highway Mystery, Book 2)by R.E. Donald

“A 2012 Global Ebook Awards finalist … Ice on the Grapevine: A Hunter Rayne Highway Mystery is a tense murder mystery featuring tough-minded ex-homicide detective turned eighteen-wheel truck driver Hunter Rayne. … [It] is a riveting mystery that will keep the reader guessing to the very end.” – Midwest Book Review

This is a well spun yarn, full of plot detail and credible human response. Whodunit addicts will not be disappointed. – The Kindle Book Review

On a warm July morning in L.A. County, a frozen corpse turns up at a highway brake check just south of the Grapevine Pass. Ex-homicide detective Hunter Rayne, who now drives an eighteen wheeler, is persuaded by his irascible dispatcher, Elspeth Watson, to help clear two fellow truck drivers who are arrested for the murder. His job is made more difficult by the fact that the suspects, a newlywed couple, won’t speak up in their own defense.

The circumstantial evidence is strong, and a rookie detective from the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department is eager to score a win. The investigation crosses the Canada-U.S. border when the victim is identified as a second rate musician from Vancouver, and it turns out there were more than a few desperate people happy to see him dead, including the accused couple. Hunter has to use all his investigative skills to uncover the truth.

Hunter’s ex-wife maintains that by taking to the highway Hunter is running away from his past, but he believes that the solitude of days on the road is helping him to heal from guilt over the failure of his marriage and the suicide of his best friend. Tangled relationships and multiple suspects emerge throughout the novel, as Hunter butts heads with more than one officer of the law to solve the crime.

What readers are saying:

“Those were the best mysteries I’ve read in a long time!! As soon as I finished the first one I bought the second and felt empty when I finished it! The characters were awesome and so there that I somehow think they are in my life!”

“… this book caught my attention from the very first pages and it only got better. …I recommend this book to anyone who has a love for a good mystery.”

“Great trucking detail, hardboiled characters, no-nonsense dialogue, and a surprise ending.”

DISTANT HARM: Book Three of The COIL Legacyby D.I. Telbat

In DISTANT HARM, Book Three of The COIL Legacy by D.I. TELBAT, COIL’s legacy is threatened in a violent land!

Christian persecution in North Korea has reached a fevered pitch. A pregnant woman and her husband have been arrested and are caught in the crosshairs of the wicked regime. Their executions are imminent, and rescue inside the oppressive country seems impossible as winter looms and sadistic plotting boils over . . .

But COIL operatives serve a God who can do the impossible. As the brutal regime prepares for another missile launch to celebrate the next highly-publicized execution, Corban Dowler tasks his most trusted field agents to work out a sophisticated rescue–though this one will certainly cost COIL lives.

Titus Caspertein, Chloe Azmaveth, and Luigi Putelli gather with the most elite Christian Special Forces operatives from the past. COIL pulls no stops as they prepare for a joint covert mission into the heart of a government that threatens an unprecedented attack marked by a blood offering. Evil has never seemed so determined.

Though COIL agents have prepared to face communist prison guards, they still need to train new recruits–the K.O.N.s. In what could be their darkest hour, these selfless volunteers rejoice that they have the honor to serve and, if necessary, to die for Jesus, as they intercede with courageous compassion in North Korea.

In The COIL Legacy’s final installment, Operation: Harm’s Way becomes the most dangerous effort of Corban Dowler and Titus Caspertein in the reclusive hermit kingdom of North Korea. The world is about to change, and though Titus can see it coming, all he can do is remain steadfast for Christ with other COIL agents. Together they have learned that without sacrifice, there is no redemption. But a new dawn is on the horizon for COIL!

The Rebelby Aria Ford

I'm untouchable. I stopped giving a f*ck about anything years ago.
Not my father's money or his expectations.
Rock hard and reckless, nothing ever gets to me.

Until I met Bethany. Her sweet curves, her smart mouth.
She got under my skin.
I had to get her into my bed.
She was my drug and I'd never get enough.
I had to let her in or lose her, open up and try for something read.
Her ex shows up.
He saw us together. He thinks she belongs to him.
He's never been more f*cking wrong in his life.
He never should have tried to hurt her.
Because I'll do anything to protect what's mine.

Living the life of a celebrity isn’t all it is chalked up to be, and dealing with the unruly number of women who are more interested in his billions than who he is as a person is getting old. He has resigned himself to giving up on love and focusing on the only thing that truly gives back – his career.

Riley Phillips has always dreamed of being on a big stage with the warmth of the spotlight baring down on her, but she just couldn’t seem to catch the right agent’s attention. After giving a quick commencement speech as Valedictorian of her graduating class at Billmore High, she’s offered something she can’t refuse… The chance to work in Hollywood. It’s not all it’s chalked up to be, but she works hard and finally gets her big break four years down the line. There is a new movie that her agent wants her to audition for, and her co-star? The dreamy Ethan Lewis.

She scores the part, but soon regrets it due to his callous, overbearing persona. He’s nothing like the public touts, and she for one isn’t impressed.

Funny enough, he is – immensely.
