Book excerpt: A “gripping dystopian fantasy” (Kirkus Reviews) that brims with romance and suspense, from the author of The Body Finder. In the violent country of Ludania, the language you speak determines your class, and there are harsh punishments if you forget your place—looking a member of a higher class in the eye can result in immediate execution. Seventeen-year-old Charlaina (Charlie for short) can understand all languages, a dangerous ability she’s been hiding her whole life. The only reprieve from oppression is within the drug-filled underground club scene. There, she meets a beautiful and mysterious boy who speaks a language she’s never heard, and her secret is almost exposed. As the violent clashes between the totalitarian monarchy and the rebel forces escalate, it becomes clear that Charlie is the key to something much bigger: her country’s only chance for freedom from the terrible grip of a deadly regime. Kimberly Derting, author of The Body Finder series, writes powerfully and movingly of a girl with dangerous powers in an unusual and expertly crafted setting.

Haunted by the horrors of his fall, Enzo, a demon agent of the Fel, smothers the angst of his impending damnation by indulging in vice with no regard to who it wrecks. But the dreadlord has given him a new assignment: infiltrate the enemy sect of demons known as the Unfallen and recover their captured ally, Lorcan, the alpha of Atro City’s pack. The mission goes according to plan, until he falls in love with someone he should hate. Or at the very least use and destroy.

With angelic lore inspired by Milton’s Paradise Lost and The Book of Enoch… This magical & macabre urban fantasy features a brooding, BMX-riding antihero who wants nothing to do with the forces of good unless it suits him. ~ BOOK TWO: SELFISH ANGEL Ex-skinhead and drug dealer Hewey Steps puts his sordid past behind him to begin his new life as a magic-wielding agent of the Unfallen. But Lorcan’s Pack wants revenge on his demon partner, Enzo, who still refuses to accept his rulership as archon—since waking the fallen angel’s dormant power could spell disaster for anyone who gets in his way, especially those who dare to threaten the woman he loves. Hewey and Enzo grapple with the vile sins of their past, as an insidious threat lurks in the bustling hallways at Stillwater, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike… And it’s an enemy that cannot be touched.

But his fiercely loyal partner, Hewey, is preoccupied with his own problems after being reconnected with his troubled high-school sweetheart, as well as the racist Skeads he once fought for. And with Enzo’s wife bucking against the corruptive influence of misused fellcraft and an unlikely paramour, the morally conflicted demon is angrier than ever and more susceptible to the relentless mania induced by the use of his archon magic. Emotionally compelling, with intense gritty action and gorgeously macabre departures into Lovecraftian horror. Complete your journey into this brutal urban fantasy series today!

Book excerpt: Get the three books of the A Place Called Home western romance series here in one volume! Far Hills Ranch has bound together the Susland family for nearly a century and a half. For just as long, there’s been a legend that the ranch and its family are cursed. Now, says the legend, the current generation is the last with a chance to break the curse. BOOK 1: LOST AND FOUND GROOM A stranger rescues her, then disappears when she needs him most. Until he knocks on her door, years later and half a world away... On assignment in distant Santa Estella, hardheaded journalist Kendra Jenner finds herself in the middle of a vicious hurricane . . . and unexpectedly in the arms of a stranger who speaks virtually no English. Fear leads to passion that months later leads to a baby, which Kendra fully expects to raise on her own, since her search for the father is a fruitless one. Three years later, "Paulo" shows up at her Wyoming home, identifying himself as Daniel Delligati. He says he's come for his son -- and for her. BOOK 2: AT THE HEART’S COMMAND The Army's sending him back to the western life he knew as a boy, the world of cowboys and cattle on Far Hills Ranch ... and back to the love he knew as a boy. But how can he even dream of second chances at love, when they should have no chance at all. Colonel John Griffin Jr. is the best kind of military man. He's a good and honorable soldier who's determined to protect Ellyn Sinclair at all costs – especially from himself. Once, he’d rejected a young Ellyn’s advances, because he could not give her the life she deserved. Instead, Grif stood up as best man when Ellyn married his best friend. He became a member of the family, a safe friend to her, the godfather of her children. But Ellyn is a widow now, back in Far Hills, Wyoming, living on his family's ranch there with her two young children, and struggling as a single parent to give her children what they need. No matter what it costs him, Grif will do his duty – help Ellyn and her children, while ignoring that he has never stopped wanting her. “A beautiful, emotional story that cuts right through the reader's heart.” -- Rendezvous "Grif is a hero of the most wonderful kind" - Road to Romance BOOK 3: HIDDEN IN A HEARTBEAT He's the kind of man she's been warned about, and she's about to find out why ...

But from the first moment, she finds Far Hills Ranch foreman Luke Chandler hard to miss. The sexy cowboy, with those sleepy eyes that aren't interested in sleeping, means just the sort of trouble her patrician grandmother has always warned her about. Luke has his own reasons for wanting to steer clear of anything like commitment. But the secrets behind Rebecca’s dark eyes keep luring him on … even if it means baring his own heart.

This book was released on 2023-08-08 with total page 2243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KUSHIEL'S SCION Stolen, tortured and enslaved as a young boy, Imriel is now a Prince of the Blood; third in line for the throne in a land that revels in art, beauty and desire. It is a court steeped in deeply laid conspiracies---and there are many who would see the young prince dead. Some despise him out of hatred for his mother, Melisande, who nearly destroyed the entire realm in her quest for power. Others because they fear he has inherited his mother's irresistible allure---and her dangerous gifts. As he comes of age, plagued by unwanted desires, Imriel shares their fears. The Prince must face his greatest test: to find his true self. KUSHIEL'S JUSTICE After a year abroad to study at university, Imriel returns from his adventures a little older and somewhat wiser. But perhaps not wise enough. What was once a mere spark of interest between himself and his cousin Sidonie now ignites into a white-hot blaze. But from commoner to peer, the whole realm would recoil from any alliance between Sidonie, heir to the throne, and Imriel, who bears the stigma of his mother's misdeeds and betrayals. Praying that their passion will peak and fade, Imriel and Sidonie embark on an intense, secret affair. When duty calls, Imriel honors his role as a member of the royal family by leaving to marry a lovely, if merely sweet, Alban princess. KUSHIEL'S MERCY Having paid dearly for ignoring Elua's edict to love as thou wilt, Imriel and Sidonie have finally come forward to publicly confess their love for each other -- only to watch the news ignite turmoil throughout the land. Those who are old enough cannot forget the misdeeds of Imriel's mother, Melisande, whose self-serving lies plunged their country into war. In order to quell the uprising, Queen Ysandre hands down a decree: she will not divide the lovers, but neither will she acknowledge them. And if they decide to marry, Sidonie will be disinherited. That is, unless Imriel can find his mother and bring her back to Terre D'Ange to be executed for treason.

With Betty’s young charge Mary Grace already missing—having left her seven-month-old baby behind in Betty’s care—and the drug dealers of Dallas donning strange red wigs and delivering cryptic messages, Betty’s in a race for answers. With the clock ticking down, it will take everything she’s got to finally put an end to Evangeline’s reign of terror, and to keep her beloved Dallas—and her own family—safe at last.
