When she gets an opportunity to work with one of her idols at a dig that may contain artifacts linked with Norse mythology, she jumps at the offer. What more could she ask for?

Through her findings, Terra learns about the connection between Asgard and Earth…and gets caught up in a battle that could change history.

Her onetime mentor thought she was a nobody, easily left for dead with no one who would care. Now Terra has become the chosen of Freya and she wields both her majesty and her wrath in the fight for the future of magic.

Can Terra survive by ascending to become more than human? Or will she get caught in the crossfire between those who wish to protect the hidden realm and those who wish to expose magic for malicious purposes?

Long Shot: A Brother's Best Friend, Hockey Romance (Taking The Shot Book 1)

Ellie

Before my junior year at Lincoln University, I promised myself three things. Just three.

Actually dig into the whole sorority girl bit.
Stay away from athletes.
Seriously, stay away from athletes.
When Professor Taylor posted our chem midterm partners and I got stuck with the captain of Lincoln’s Ice Hockey team, I was sure I’d be able to abide by rules 2 and 3. After all, I was immune to Leo’s whole ‘hottest guy on campus’ thing. I grew up with him— my brother’s best friend.

That I’ve been obsessed with since I was eight.

F’ me.

Leo

Senior year. Captain of the hockey team, already engaged to the NHL with the perfect union months away, my whole life mapped out ahead of me. All my dreams have come true.

Except for the one with Eleanor Rhodes.

That one’s reoccurring, starring her in nothing but my number and that perfect little blush that shows up every time she looks at me.

No biggie. I’ve worked that one out. In the shower. Numerous times. Never had a reason to get any closer than her Instagram until Professor Taylor assigned us as chem partners.

The one girl on campus who shouldn’t be on my radar, yet she somehow seems to be the only one.

Retribution, secrets, and murder…Agent Nora Amiri’s next assignment might be her last.

Murder isn’t what Jordanian intelligence agent and veterinarian, Nora Amiri, is used to dealing with. Treason? Sure. Espionage? No problem. Arms trafficking…she’s been there a time or two. But a serial killer lurking in the group of elite K9 handlers and trainers coming to Massachusetts that she’s been tasked by NATO to find? There’s no question she’ll take the assignment. She doesn’t have to like it, though. Especially not when Lucian Salvitto, an old fling and cousin of her best friend, is one of the suspects.

Lucian Salvitto will take dogs over humans any day. Except, it seems, when Nora shows up at the training session he’s in charge of and a tendril of curiosity takes root. As a former spy himself, he’s adept at recognizing subterfuge and he’s pretty sure there’s more going on than just lending her medical expertise to the K9s. He might not want to care, but the next thing he knows, he’s decided that attaching himself to her side is right where he needs to be.

The closer Lucian sticks to her, the more Nora is certain it isn’t just the investigation he’s inveigling his way into—her heart is on the line, too. There might not be a happy-ever-after in store for them, but Lucian isn’t going anywhere. And when two more murders occur on her watch and she becomes the next target, she’ll take all the help she can get to bring down a serial killer.
