The Stranger Times - winner of the 2023 British Fantasy Award for Best Audio Work! Some comebacks can be murder . . . Stella is enjoying life as an almost student, or at least she is until a man falls from the sky right in front of her, leaving a big old hole in the pavement for Manchester Council to fill. The obvious question of how he ended up in the sky in the first place has no obvious answers, which is where The Stranger Times come in. But this isn't just the hunt for another story. Dark powers think Stella might have been involved and the only way she and the team can prove her innocence is to find out what the hell is really going on. And what have dodgy gear, disturbed graves and a decommissioned rock star got to do with all this? Vincent Banecroft has problems of his own in the form of a tall, dark but-definitely-not-handsome man dressed like a funeral who has been sent to make the paper's editor atone for his sins. Once he finds out exactly what that entails, Banecroft is not keen. Being banished to a Hellscape for all eternity looks like being no fun at all, not least because he has that pale Irish skin that burns really easily . . . All that plus territorial ghouls, homicidal felines, eternal (and seemingly unstoppable) gnomes and a celebrity Who's Who that'd put a royal wedding to shame, and you're looking at a wild few days for The Stranger Times. Relight My Fire is the fourth book in the acclaimed and brilliantly funny Stranger Times series.

A hilarious and heart-racing rom com from the bestselling author of THE LIST and ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS Phoebe and Oliver had their happy ending, but now, with a five year old daughter, they are far from the blissful hedonistic lifestyle of when they first started dating.

Working with my close friends in our small hometown’s police department has always been my game plan. Focusing on my job with Piper Falls PD and moving up the ranks quickly was my goal, and I’ve reached it. Falling in love was never on my agenda. Until Krissy drops into my life. She’s beautiful. Magnetic. And aloof as anyone I’ve ever seen. She puts up a front that’s impossible to penetrate and runs when people get too close, but I’m not one to give up easily. When Krissy’s dark past comes pounding at her door like a pack of rabid raccoons, my protective instincts flare hotter than the Texas sun. If anyone wants to get close to her, they’ll have to get through me first, and I’m a force to be reckoned with. I took an oath to protect and serve the people of Piper Falls, but I’d lay my life down at the devil’s feet if it means saving hers. Despite my brothers’ concerns for my safety, she’s my endgame. ~ Embracing My Duty is a small-town, open-door, cop romance with graphic and violent themes, domestic and mental abuse (not perpetrated by MMC), and adult content that may not be suitable for all readers. ~

My entire life, I knew I was gay. The problem was, I didn’t want to admit it to myself. So, I didn’t. I dated women. A lot of them. I was even in a long term relationship with one. But I could never get off unless I was thinking about a guy. Well, let’s be honest here. One guy. One. My best friend, Lance. We’ve worked together in the Lucinio Mafia for years. We’re close. He’s out, and he’s proud of it. It’s something I’ve always admired and secretly loved about him. Just when I start to feel comfortable with myself and we’re ready to reveal our relationship, though, chaos in the form of a sixteen-year-old girl whirls into our life, turning it upside down and backwards. She needs our help. We need her light. But with her comes a Texas sized tornado of mayhem and a lot of questions that beg to be answered. I’m just not convinced we’ll get those answers before the twister licking at our heels swallows us all whole… ~ This book is a steamy Dark Mafia Romance.

I’m Chicago Police Department’s problem Lieutenant, and I like it that way. I lead my own Major Crimes Task Force. My brother is Lucinio Mafia’s fearless King, and my cousin is the leader of the Crane Mafia. It’s only obvious that I’m going to have an authority problem, which I do, and want to lead things my own way, also what I do. I’m good at my job. Probably why I still have one. But that all crashes down when I find out the woman who once possessed my heart has a dark past that still has its vicious claws in her. Skyla Winters might just be a friend who became a painful to be around acquaintance, but I’ll never allow her demons to drag her back to the hell she came from. Only, Skyla and I have history, and it’s not that innocent. I’ll do whatever I need to do to protect her, but I’ll be damned if she thinks she’ll ever hold my heart in her hands again. ~ This book is a steamy Dark Mafia/Cop Romance.

Dhargey was a sickly child or so his parents treated him. His only hope for his future was to explain to the head of the local monastery why he should be accepted into the order and with a lightened program, but to do so, he was forced to accompany the revered old man a little ways up the mountain. As his parents watched him leave; somewhere they felt that they would never see their sickly, fragile boy ever again, somewhere they were totally right. He was a happy, healthy seven year old until he witnessed the riders, dressed in red and black, destroying his village and murdering his parents; the trauma cut deep into his psyche. Only the chance meeting with a wandering monk could set him back onto the road towards health and serenity. Through meditation, initiations, stories, taming wild horses, becoming a monkey, mastering the staff and the sword; the future ‘Young Master’ prepares to face his greatest demon. Two men, two journeys, one goal. A beautiful and thought-provoking book, rich in poetry and insight.
