Catch Me If You Can
Christina C. Jones
Diligence. Focus. Agility.
For Naomi Prescott, it’s not just a cute little saying. It’s
a critical mantra, words to live by if she wants to retain her freedom, and
more importantly, her life. Impeccable planning is the only way to ensure she
sets off the small flutters that will trigger the big ripple she needs to pull
off the score of a lifetime — no matter the stakes.
FBI Agent Marcus Calloway is a straight-shooter… if you
overlook his sometimes unconventional, law-skirting, expensive ways of solving
a case. A big arrest would do wonders to restore his reputation, and he has one
woman in mind: Jolie Voleuse
Unforeseen circumstances force them into a closer proximity
than either — especially Naomi — would like to be. Sparks fly, and as surely as
fire ignites,eventually their undeniable chemistry combusts into a passion that
neither expected as they join forces in the dangerous pursuit of a common
bounty.
Release Me If You Can
Christina C. Jones
Secrets always have a way of coming to light.
Special Agent Renata Parker learns this the hard way, when
the secret she’s held close for many years is finally revealed, exposing her as
traitor to the team of thieves, spies, hackers, and federal agents who thought
they shared a common goal — take down Damien Wolfe. Her dedication to their
cause doesn’t quite stand up to scrutiny — especially for Quentin, a fellow
hacker who was drawn to Renata’s quiet energy before her true identity was
exposed.
With her loyalty in question, Renata finds herself in a position
where she’s forced to rely on help from the very people she may have
unwittingly betrayed.
Quentin wants to trust Renata, but repairing their
friendship — and possibly taking it further — requires the healing of past
wounds, answering unresolved questions, and revealing unknown connections that
bring new light to Damien Wolfe’s misdeeds.
While Quentin and Renata search for common ground, Marcus
and Naomi navigate unexpected circumstances in their budding relationship, and
Inez tries to resist Kendall’s magnetic, dangerous appeal.
Romance, danger, a little hacking, and a bit of espionage
ensue as the team struggles to be released from the traumas of their past.
Save Me If You Can
Christina C. Jones
Deception and betrayal always carry a price, and sooner or
later, someone has to pay.
For a long time, Terry King and Damien Wolfe have dodged
those debts while the people around them paid – in loneliness, grief, constant
fear, and the loss of innocent lives.
But no more.
It’s time to settle up, and though the difference between
victim and villain isn’t always clear, this familiar band of hackers, spies,
and federal agents are holding nothing back. In this final installment of the
“If You Can” series, questions are answered, hidden motives are revealed,
secrets are brought to light, and this dangerous adventure comes to a
conclusion.
Partnerships ruined by betrayal.
Lovers tested by secrets.
Families broken by lies.
With everything around them in shambles, which relationships
will endure?
And when the story comes full circle… who will come out
alive?
Hansel
Ella James
One boy. Mother calls him Hansel.
One girl. Mother named her Gretel.
Locked in little rooms, in the mountainside mansion of a crazy woman.
Until he saws a hole into the wall dividing them.
Then at least, they have each other’s hands.
It doesn’t end well at Mother’s house.
Everything gets…broken.
Ten years later, they meet again in an exclusive Vegas sex club.
Whips.
Chains.
And most of all, a mask.
What happens to love when it gets twisted?
Fairy tales are cautionary tales, remember?
Under Different Stars
Amy A. Bartol
Kricket Hollowell never wished upon stars. She was too busy
hiding in plain sight, eluding Chicago’s foster care system. As her eighteenth
birthday approaches, she now eagerly anticipates the day she’ll stop running and
finally find her place in the world.
That day comes when she meets a young Etharian soldier named
Trey Allairis, who has been charged with coming to Earth to find Kricket and
transport her to her true home. As danger draws close, he must protect her
until she can wield the powers she cannot use on Earth…and he soon realizes
that counting a galaxy of stars would be easier than losing this extraordinary
girl.
Kyon knows the powerful depths of Kricket’s gifts—gifts
he’ll control when he takes her for his tribe and leads the forces that will
claim Ethar and destroy his enemies, starting with Trey Allairis. Now, Kricket
faces the most difficult choice of her life: whether to wage a battle for
survival or a fight for love.
Infinity Lost
S. Harrison
In the near future, one corporation, Blackstone Technologies,
has changed the world: no disasters, no poverty, and life-altering technology.
Blackstone has the impunity to destroy—or create—as it sees fit.
Infinity “Finn” Blackstone is the seventeen-year-old
daughter of Blackstone’s reclusive CEO—but she’s never even met him. When
disturbing dreams about a past she doesn’t remember begin to torment her, Finn
knows there’s only one person who can provide answers: her father.
After Finn and an elite group of peers are invited to
Blackstone’s top-secret HQ, Finn realizes she may have a chance to confront her
father. But when a highly sophisticated company AI morphs into a killing
machine, the trip descends into chaos. Trapped inside shape-shifting walls,
Finn and her friends are at the mercy of an all-seeing intelligence that will
destroy everything to get to her.
With no hope of help, Finn’s dream-memories may be the only
chance of survival. But will she remember in time to save her own life and the
lives of those around her?
Happiness in Jersey
Jacinta Howard
The only thing in Jersey Kincaid’s world that she has time
for are keeping her grades up so that she doesn’t lose her scholarship to South
Texas University, playing the bass in her band, The Prototype, and satisfying
her coffee addiction. Oh, and the occasional random hook-up she indulges in to
pass the time.
Love? Eh, not so much. Save that crap for a Katherine Heigl or Natalie Portman
movie.
Jersey’s seen enough in life (courtesy of her Pops) to realize that undying
romance is nothing more than a myth used to sell books and movie tickets. As
she knows too well, the only thing inevitable in life is death— love is
definitely not promised.
That’s why when Jersey meets Isaiah “Zay” Broussard with his soulful gray eyes,
quick wit and easy charm, she’s determined to remain aloof. She doesn't have
time to get sidetracked by fleeting fantasies, even if she does feel an
unexplainable connection to Zay she’s never experienced before.
But when his interest in her only seems to intensify, despite her attempts to
brush him off, she gets to see a side of him and herself she didn’t expect…
