Book excerpt: "darkly atmospheric and delectably sexy."—Booklist, starred review Honoria Todd has more secrets than most people and she's hiding them in Whitechapel. Blade is the master of the rookeries and agrees to protect her, but at what price? Most people avoid the dreaded Whitechapel district. For Honoria Todd, it's the last safe haven as she hides from the Blue Blood aristocracy that rules London through power and fear. Blade rules the rookeries—no one dares cross him. It's been said he faced down the Echelon's army single–handedly, that ever since being infected by the blood–craving he's been quicker, stronger, and almost immortal. When Honoria shows up at his door, his tenuous control comes close to snapping. She's so...innocent. He doesn't see her backbone of steel—or that she could be the very salvation he's been seeking.

Book excerpt: Steel's a prick. He stole my heart when I was a kid, and ever since, he's refused to let go. He's clung to me, even as he pushed me away, and I'm tired of it. I'm over it, and over him. Of the games we play together, the endless waltz of him hurting me to shove distance between us. So I'm out of there. My future is medicine. If I turn into a crazy cat lady, then so be it. I'm good with that. At least Mrs. Biggins can't hurt my heart when she poops in my shoes... Of course, Mrs. Biggins doesn't kiss like Steel either. One kiss. That's all we've had together, and it haunts me. My nights, my days, my waking moments, my sleeping ones. A single kiss. Where everything, the stars included, aligned and just felt right. But Steel isn't mine to have... by his choice. And I've dealt with that. For years. So when he suddenly changes his mind? What am I supposed to do? Just fall at his feet? I don't think so.

As the mercenary captain of the Lady Corsair, Yasmeen has learned to keep her heart as cold as steel, her only loyalty bound to her ship and her crew. So when a man who once tried to seize her airship returns from the dead, Yasmeen will be damned if she gives him another opportunity to take control.

To reclaim it, Archimedes is determined to seduce the stubborn woman who once tossed him to a ravenous pack of zombies, but she’s no easy conquest. When da Vinci’s sketch attracts a dangerous amount of attention, Yasmeen and Archimedes journey to Horde-occupied Morocco—and straight into their enemy’s hands. But as they fight to save themselves and a city on the brink of rebellion, the greatest peril Yasmeen faces is from the man who seeks to melt her icy heart…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two intrepid girls hunt for a legendary treasure on the deadly high seas in this YA remix of the classic adventure novel Treasure Island. 1826. The sun is setting on the golden age of piracy, and the legendary Dragon Fleet, the scourge of the South China Sea, is no more. Its ruthless leader, a woman known only as the Head of the Dragon, is now only a story, like the ones Xiang has grown up with all her life. She desperately wants to prove her worth, especially to her mother, a shrewd businesswoman who never seems to have enough time for Xiang. Her father is also only a story, dead at sea before Xiang was born. Her single memento of him is a pendant she always wears, a simple but plain piece of gold jewelry. But the pendant's true nature is revealed when a mysterious girl named Anh steals it, only to return it to Xiang in exchange for her help in decoding the tiny map scroll hidden inside. The revelation that Xiang's father sailed with the Dragon Fleet and tucked away this secret changes everything. Rumor has it that the legendary Head of the Dragon had one last treasure—the plunder of a thousand ports—that for decades has only been a myth, a fool's journey. Xiang is convinced this map could lead to the fabled treasure. Captivated with the thrill of adventure, she joins Anh and her motley crew off in pursuit of the island. But the girls soon find that the sea—and especially those who sail it—are far more dangerous than the legends led them to believe.

CHAPTER IX PITTSBURGH A City which Takes Rank Industrially, Not with Other Towns, but with Nations--Though Eleventh among American Cities in the Number of Its Inhabitants, This Energetic Centre Has the Largest Population of Machinery Man-Power in the World--Incidents of Phenomenal Growth--The Social and Business Life of the Pittsburghers--The Scanty Beginnings of Civic Improvement--From the Murk of the City to the Sunshine of the Suburbs--The History of the City from the Time when It Was Shannopin's Town Down to the Present Day. PITTSBURGH is more than a city. It is the acme of activity; it is an industrial cyclone. To its steel mills and furnaces there is no intermission--no rest--no sleep. The blaze of its lurid fires is as ceaseless as the roar of Niagara. That which is elsewhere called labour is here an untiring fury to produce. In Pittsburgh, those three halftamed monsters, fire, steam and electricity, are shackled and goaded into a frenzy of omnipotence. It is less like industry than war--war with the stubbornest elements of nature. What radium is among metals, Pittsburgh is among cities. Both alike seem to possess that secret of perpetual energy which science cannot explain. Mighty steel kings come and go; Hussey follows Cowan, and Jones follows Hussey, and Carnegie follows Jones, and the corporation follows Carnegie; stocks may rise and stocks may fall, but the fires of Pittsburgh blaze on, as though they were part of the earth's central conflagration. Like the Grand Canon of the Colorado, there is nothing else with which we can compare it. Every word we choose has been put to smaller uses. As a manifestation of human power over the hostile forces of nature--as a region of industrial magic, where the push of a lever cuts...

Book excerpt: “An empowering novel that features a cast full of strong female characters . . . Any fan of Julie James will enjoy this page-turner.” —Booklist Bridget Steele’s father taught her two things: how to build and how to fight. With those skills, she created her own company and began building for New York City’s elite. Often the only woman in the room, she’s faced sexism, corruption, and harassment—but armed with her designer hard hat and steel-toed stilettos, she’s up for any challenge, knowing she has to be ten times better just to be considered equal. Even with a stellar reputation, this scrappy young woman from the Bronx can’t seem to gain access to the old boys’ club. She doesn’t fit in with the powerful men in commercial real estate and construction. But this single mom has learned how to play the game, and she never gives up. With her quick wit and determination, she won’t let anyone get in the way of her dream—including the irresistible man who is also her biggest competitor. She’s learned the hard way that if she wants the view from the top, she’ll have to build it herself . . . In this compelling novel, the construction industry pioneer and Real Housewives star “writes grippingly about . . . being the only woman in a male-dominated field and the possibility of a second chance at love” (Publishers Weekly).

But a pirate's life is bloody and brief, and as Jill learns about the dark magic that brought her there, she forms a desperate scheme to get home—one that risks everything in a duel to the death with a villainous pirate captain.

Book excerpt: Seven bodyguards are hired to keep me safe, but I want so much more than their protection. It's my first world tour, and my record company is nervous. They've crafted my innocent image and focused on marketing my appearance ahead of my talent, so they shouldn't be surprised at the dangers I'm facing. Girls like me are magnets for stalkers. When Steel 7 Security is employed to safeguard my trip, I expect my bodyguards to be middle-aged ex-cops with donut-bellies. My seven bodyguards couldn't be more different. Connor, Elijah, Ben, Asher, Jax, Hudson, and Mo are huge, powerful ex-military men with bodies made to protect and an impeccably rigorous attitude to my safety. They have nerves of steel, their eyes are watchful, and their attitudes are professional, but I can't help noticing how their gazes linger on my body and I can't help feeling the electricity between us whenever we're together. They're a team of specialists, hired to protect me. They know better than to fall for someone they're supposed to keep safe. But with every glance, every accidental touch, every word, I can feel their steely exteriors melting away. They're with me through the lonely days and long nights on the road. I can't hide beneath my well-crafted veneer when they're with me twenty-four hours a day. Slowly, they make me feel like nothing can ever touch me apart from them. I know it's risky. If the press discovers our secret, my image will shatter, and their careers will be over, but their magnetic pull is too strong to resist. How can they protect me when the connection between us is the very thing that puts me in danger?
