But it all crumbles when he is abducted, tortured and almost killed three months after his wedding. Now that he’s back he is determined to win back his wife and take revenge on whoever is responsible for his abduction. Neither task is going as planned, especially since his wife has moved on and his abductors have a plan of their own.

By Elle Wren Burk / Genre: Psychics, Supernatural, Mystery
Mediums & Murder: A Paranormal Cozy Mystery (Prickly Pear Psychic Mysteries No. 1)

She never wanted the Sight.
But some things can’t be unseen…

Alara Beatty leads a safe and snug life in Prickly Pear, Arizona, where she’s able to keep her secret psychic powers just where she likes them—limited to listening to dogs complain about the lack of steak in their bowls. But when one of Alara’s close coworkers is stabbed at their desk in the early morning, she is overcome by a powerful vision of her friend’s final moments.

Alara knows her psychic abilities could help find the killer, but people treat you kind of funny if you go around telling them you’ve seen your dead friend. Plus it’s not like she can conjure the visions up on demand. But when long-lost Aunt Irene turns up unexpectedly, she brings a stunning revelation—they both come from a long line of psychic talent. And Aunt Irene has experience tracking down criminals…

With her aunt’s help, Alara decides to dip her toe into the case and discovers one of the police officers assigned to the murder investigation is Rudi Rivera—an old friend who’s decidedly hunkier than the last time they met. But the more Alara investigates, the more Rudi grows suspicious of her impossible knowledge of the case. And her questions aren’t just attracting the attention of the police force—the killer is still at large and desperate to get away with murder.

As Alara grapples with a host of new abilities, she must learn to seize her powers before the killer seizes her.

The Sport of Matchmaking (Clavering Chronicles Book 3)

By Jennie Goutet / Genre: Regency, Historical Fiction
The Sport of Matchmaking (Clavering Chronicles Book 3)

For once, he has met a lady less inclined to marry than he is. How unfortunate that she is the only bride he will consider.

George Clavering is much too young to think about getting married. Yes, his older brother—and even his younger sister—have managed to tie the knot, but he has plenty more years of play and sporting events ahead of him before he need consider such a thing. Even matchmaking becomes a sport when gentlemen bet on the Season’s successes or failures in the club. He will not give them an opportunity to bet on him. Furthermore, why settle down when there are young women like Lady Alice who liven the sport of matchmaking with friendly wagers?

Lady Alice St. Clair is the fifth daughter of the Duke of Carr, and as she is independently wealthy and may do as she pleases, she has no reason to wed. She certainly has no intention of doing so. If the marriage mart offers nothing more than the unattractive boors who have presented themselves at her door for the past five seasons, it should hardly surprise her parents she cannot be persuaded to the altar. True, George Clavering has a full head of dark hair and a smile that is as mischievous as it is attractive, but no lady of character would change her mind for one above-average specimen of the male race.

For both, what began as a friendly bet between two bored guests at a ball turned into an earnest desire to help their protégés find happiness. And if some deeper feelings should stir in George to win Alice’s heart, then he has no choice but to dampen them. After all, Lady Alice has sworn she will not marry, and George has applauded her decision. For him to try to weaken her resolve now would be…unsportsmanlike.

Life as I knew it ended with a bullet.
It stole my brother from me and destroyed my family.

Except one.
He’s a phantom but his days are numbered.
Because I won’t stop until I’m done.

Then she shows up.
The forbidden fruit.
A light to my darkness.
I should resist her because what I touch, I destroy.
And my feisty wildflower deserves more.
More than this.
More than me.

But there is a monster lurking in the shadows.
A psychopath.
Watching her.
Watching us.
His threats torment her.
And they make my black heart burn.
But he should know,

Stalking His Mate: League Of Gallize Shifters

She’s on the run from shifters and never wants to be near one again until a moody jaguar shifter bloodies himself by stepping between her and danger, making her wonder if there might be one good shifter.

Having spent her life as a captive guarded by evil shifters, Siofra escapes when an unexpected power surfaces inside her during an attack, but also exposes her as a nonhuman. All she wants to do is find her brother who is also being hunted by jackal shifters, then vanish to live free forever from all those beasts. That was the plan, and it would have worked if a golden-eyed, grumpy jaguar shifter hadn’t fought a deadly jackal to protect her. Unable to turn her back and run while the sexy protector battled was her first mistake. Opening her heart to him may be her last one.

Rory didn’t choose to be a jaguar shifter and is determined to not mate even though he faces death from a mating curse if he doesn’t. The end may come sooner than he expects when his jaguar begins to lose the ability to heal their body, but that doesn’t prevent Rory from racing in to save a young woman from a vicious predator. The moment Siofra is in his arms, he struggles against the primal pull of the one woman he’s drawn to as his mate. Even if he didn’t feel the need to end his bloodline, she’ll never trust his kind.

None of that will matter if Rory fails to stop the deadly Black River Pack from using the woman he’s falling for in a grisly experiment when she’s caught in a trap.
