Along with his beautiful, hyper-sexed purple partner, Vers, the unstoppable duo hunts down the most dangerous hackers and criminals for punishment or elimination.

Korya Funo is full of privileged DPL information downloaded into her brain. If caught, she would be deleted from the census. That keeps her running -- until her luck runs out in Paradise, Nevada. When she’s captured by Ash and Vers, Korya accidentally reveals the truth about Asher’s parents’ deaths, and then all hell breaks loose.

Now with all their lives on the line and the fate of the planet riding on their backs, they trio will show the world why Newton’s First Law is not to be screwed with.

BLURB

She calls me Hudson

But they know me as Pete

A simple man with a common name

They see the warm smile of their neighbor,

Not the cold eyes of a man who kills for the thrill of it and sleeps like a baby afterward

Until Starling

My son’s girlfriend and my new obsession

She falls into my lap like a wounded bird with broken wings

Branding me with her touch, making me an addict after just one taste

She thinks I’ll give her up once she gives in

But she’s never met a man like me before

And Forbidden Fruit was always my favorite.

He calls me Birdie …

But they know me as Starling.

A strange girl with a pretty name

I’m the orphan everyone pities

A perpetual victim who has spent more time on her knees than most

Until Hudson

He’s a monster of his own making,

One who crosses all my lines and pushes every limit

He doesn’t want to free me; he wants to cage me

And if I resist, he’ll destroy the only boy I’ve ever loved.

After all, monsters don’t win hearts

They steal them.

Triggers: It goes without saying that this book contains dark elements that some readers will find uncomfortable, including offense!ve language, graphic v!olence, explicit s@xual situations, and often a combination of all three.

Date Published: 09-24-2024

 

 

Judy Haveson always believed she would one day “have it all.” Then she turned forty and wondered if she had waited too long. After countless failed first dates and fewer second ones, she finally found love, got married, and became a mother at forty-three.

Oldest Mom on the Playground is a collection of relatable, heartwarming, and humorous essays. Written in her signature conversational style and with a touch of sarcasm, Judy takes readers on her journey of getting pregnant after forty (and delivering the baby during a full moon), raising a child in New York City (including the time she lost him in a grocery store and found him standing on Broadway), leaving the career she spent decades building to volunteer as a preschool class rep, to becoming a card-carrying member of the sandwich generation.

Judy offers no parenting advice, only personal reflection. And she takes nothing in her life for granted. Her message to other midlife mamas is this: trust your gut, let your life experience guide you, and pray no one ever mistakes you for the grandmother.

Graduating from college is bittersweet. I’ve accomplished my dreams, obtained my teaching degree, and am ready to find my dream job. However, I never realized how difficult or stressful it would be to find a position.

That’s why I jump at the chance to visit Chad, one of my best friends, on base in California.

It was meant to be two weeks of catching up and putting all thoughts of job hunting out of my mind. Little did I know those two weeks would change my life and alter the course we were both on.

The day she agrees to join me in California is one of the happiest days of my life. Having her with me gives me the taste of home I’ve been craving, but deep down, it’s more than that. She’s important to me, more than just my friend, and my closest friend’s twin sister.

Spending my nights with her has done nothing but reinforce this feeling I get when I’m with her. I know we said we’d keep things light, but she’s making it so damn hard not to want more.

Then I get stationed overseas. Everything changes in the blink of an eye, and I’m not just talking about our jobs or the fact we’re suddenly thousands of miles apart. Call it fate or destiny or just pure luck, but it’s beneath the desert sun that finally our future becomes clear.

There's a peace that can only be found on the other side of war.

And I'm finally close enough to get revenge.

The bad blood between me and Razr goes way back to the day his father, Scar, murdered my old pres, Keys.

I took out Scar and then Razr's brother, Acid. They paid for their crimes.

I won't rest until Razr meets the Reaper and faces judgment.

But the past carries secrets I never imagined.

New information surfaces and challenges everything I know.

It's not just about protecting my club.

I'll do anything to keep my ol' lady and my son safe.

I would even give up the throne to ensure they survive.

Because nothing will stop me from reaping Razr's soul and forcing him to his knees.

There's a reason I'm called Grim. Death is my playground.

I will end this war and the feud with the Scorpions.

Not a soul, Reaper, or Lucifer himself will stop me.

I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him.

The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.

Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.

Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.

Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?

Will we even want to?
