Cowboyby William Bahl

Before the End Game, people live their everyday lives, doing simple things and being human.
Cowboy isn’t like most people. As an elite hitman, his days are anything but routine. His work takes him all around the globe. His targets are influencers, CEOs, and people in powerful positions of authority.
As Cantor Biotech’s CEO, Carly Hennington oversees a behemoth corporation’s machinations. But that’s just her day job. Carly is a member of The Group, a secret organization bent on global domination.
The Group has tasked Carly with managing the development of a formula that, once unleashed, will prompt a total meltdown of civilization. There is a schedule. Members of The Group have secured refuge for themselves and those doing their bidding on the outside.
A sudden attack on The Group’s secret facility in Belgium puts all plans in upheaval, leaving the members scrambling for safety.
Chaos is racing toward them, and everyone else as nations fail in a global domino effect of pandemonium.
Outlaws, murderers, and strange mutants quickly assert a new hierarchy in the law-and-order vacuum.
Cowboy, unknowingly executing targeted individuals at The Group’s behest, receives a cryptic warning from his handler. With little time, he rushes to secure his own well-being.
Unaware of the full extent of his unique abilities, Cowboy begins to experience strange sensations he cannot explain as mutated berserkers spread across the country.
Facing a world overrun with the bizarre and terrible consequences of The Group’s misfortune, Cowboy, Carly, and others must navigate a new reality where death or worse lurks around every corner.

Nine Ladies Dancingby Emily E K Murdoch

It’s 1815, with nine ladies dancing at the Fitzroy Christmas Eve ball – but Olivia isn’t one of them…

Olivia Fitzroy is excited for the family Christmas party at Chalcroft, seat of the Fitzroys, and is furious when an unexpected guest arrives: Luke Kingsley. Her childhood friend who in her heart is now far more than a friend, she is determined not to let her fanciful affection show. No one must know that she no longer considers Luke a friend of the family.

Oh no. she wants far, far more.

But dancing around each other isn’t possible in the confines of Chalcroft, and Luke has his own secrets that he won’t reveal as the dance brings them closer together. Stolen kisses in drawing rooms, yet no declaration of love – what is Olivia supposed to do, but dance to Luke’s tune until she understands more?

Nine ladies dancing and Olivia is just one of many. How can she make Luke notice her in a large, rambling family?

Meet the Fitzroy family: twelve cousins falling in love over Christmastime!

Master of the Dawnby Kathryn Le Veque

A flashy knight with a scandalous reputation and a much-pursued heiress find themselves tangled up in an unconventional love story.

But all is not as it seems.

Will hidden secrets destroy everything?

1195 A.D. – Sir Galen Burleson (from Guardian of Darkness) has a love ‘em and leave ‘em reputation. Enormous and powerful, he is the captain of the army at Hexham Castle. Galen is in control of his life and his future until his dying father, tired of his son’s roving ways, demands he marry. But Galen isn’t allowed a choice – his father already has a wealthy bride in mind: Lady Lorica de la Beauvriere, the sole heiress of the St. Nicholas Court Castle fortune.

Aside from thinking that his father is mad, Galen has no intention of pursuing a woman who, by all accounts, is much-pursued already. He doesn’t need, or want, the competition. St. Nicholas Court is a powerful castle with old Norman money but Galen would prefer to chase women of his own choosing. However, his father finally confesses his reasons for the St. Nicholas Court heiress choice – the Burleson wealth, once substantial old Saxon wealth, is gone. But the reason why it is gone shocks Galen to the bone.

Now, he has no choice but to pursue the wealthiest unmarried woman he knows – Lady Lorica.

Lorica de la Beauvriere isn’t an ordinary lady. Highly educated and highly trained in a variety of feminine and non-feminine pursuits, she’s the smartest person in the room when suitors come to call. Her wit is biting, her manner brusque and superior, and Galen walks into a deluge of resistance and insults right from the start.

But that only serves to intrigue him.

And with that, a very unconventional love story is born.

Join Galen and Lorica on an adventure of a lifetime, where all is not as it seems, where dark secrets can crush, but also where love can repair the damage and divide. When Galen is called to battle and a young life is cut short, it’s Lorica who finally understands what it is to love and be loved.

And Galen who decides that Lorica is the only woman for him.

A LADY IN TROUBLE

Iseabail Spalding is on the run, desperately searching for a man who can stand up to her uncle. She’s hiding in London, pretending to be an empty-headed debutante, but someone has discovered her secret. The villainous seducer Reuben Bates demands she bend to his will or be exposed.

A SCOUNDREL WITH AMBITION

Reuben means to marry into the aristocracy, and if that means leveraging Miss Spalding’s secrets to his advantage, well, that’s her problem. Until she surprises him. The clever beauty matches him scheme for scheme. Better yet, she sees his merit even though he is nothing but a gutter rat with big plans. Then she runs out of time, and he’s sworn to abandon her.

CAN A BLACKGUARD SAVE A BEAUTY?

Reuben must give up the future he’s always wanted to help the angel who’s caught his eye. It won’t work unless Iseabail trusts him completely, and trust is the one thing she will not do. But she can love, and he can adapt.

When Stormy steps in and uses her magic following a bus accident, she’s almost killed in the process. Worse than that, it seems the child she risked her life to save might be an ongoing target.

Surviving a perilous fall should make Stormy happy. She’s unsettled though, and the magical children that attacked are still out there. Worse than that, they seem to want her. They blame her for thwarting their plans … and they’re coming.
Stormy is brave and loyal, but she’s in over her head. Her boyfriend Hunter Ryan wants to help but he’s out of his depth. Even the Winchester witches can’t figure out what’s going on. That means they’re all going to have to work together to secure Stormy’s future.
Stormy is ready to fight the good fight. With brutal death barreling toward her, however, she might not even get the chance.
Darkness has arrived in Shadow Hills, and there may be no stopping it. Could this be the end?
