New! THE RENTAL: Brady, Book 3, a Sci-Fi/Contemporary Fantasy Romance

 


THE RENTAL
Book 3 – Brady
Sci-Fi/Contemporary Fantasy Romance
by Linda Mooney
Word Count: 26.4K
$2.99 e / $10.99 p

Brady Hardy was dealt a crap hand in life after a tragic work accident left him short three limbs. Since then it’s been a constant battle, both physically and mentally, to the point where he’s losing the will to keep fighting. But when he learns of the opportunity Rall Rentals provides, the chance to experience life again, there’s a spark of hope.

Gia, Brady’s caregiver, has come to care for Brady more than just what her job requires, and she’s happy to see the light back in his eyes. She’s seen him through his ups and downs, and she hopes the program will bring more ups than he’s had lately, and it does. At first.

Brady is fully invested in the life of his Rental, until he learns of certain proclivities Mr. Reede indulges in that he doesn’t approve of. In fact, after that initial introduction of the man’s bizarre appetites, it’s too much for Brady to stomach. Should he ask for a new Rental? Can he? If he does, will Rall Rentals understand his hesitance to continue?

Maybe life isn’t always greener on the other side, but Gia is determined to help this man who’s come to mean so much to her. Maybe with a little tough love, Brady can regain the will to fight back and live his own life again to the fullest. Whatever the outcome, she’ll be there to encourage him for as long as he’ll let her.

Warning! Contains an odd coincidence, a misunderstanding, a brunch date, Roy, a self-inflated ego, and two people hesitant to admit their true feelings for each other until it's almost too late.

The Children are settling into their new lives, but unexpected expenses are piling up with the babies’ milk and diapers, and the electricity bill on the rise as the brunt of winter inundates them. Everyone is doing what they can to pitch in, working extra shifts and doing whatever it takes to keep their heads above financial waters, to the point where K8 is contemplating using her ability to split in two to do double the work. But how much longer can they keep it up?

When K8 is approached by a publisher to tell the Childrens’ story, she’s hesitant to trust the guy, but she likes the idea. She’s always loved writing, and she’s been wanting to get back into it. Plus the extra money from book sales would definitely help. But is their story worth sharing?

Adam has been working with K8 at the diner for a while now, and his feelings for her keep growing. He’s leery of the publisher, fearing the man is someone looking to take advantage of the Childrens’ innocence, and he takes it upon himself to protect K8. As he earns her trust, he’s hoping he'll also gain her affection.

While they may have been raised in an unrealistic environment, the Children are quickly learning how the real world works, and know some people don’t have their best interests at heart. Worse, the threat of retaliation from Docenti Labs is still real, and those people will never stop coming for them or for the valuable information they claim was stolen.

Warning: Contains a great tipper, needing a lawyer, when you're a cook and not a housekeeper, a nine point five, leftover meatloaf, injections from hell, and one man trying to protect the woman he's come to love at the risk of his own life.

Now Available as a Box Set! SUBWOOFERS, Contemporary Fantasy/Paranormal Romances

Alligator, Bear, Cougar, Deer, Eagle
They found each other by accident.
They became a team for life.

Contains:
BEAST OF THE BAYOU - 
Thierry McNulty's brother, Senator Frank McNulty, is missing. She believes he went to their old family campsite on Caddo Lake for a brief vacation, but after days of not hearing from him, she fears the worst.

Antonio "Yo" Bleeker is one of the owners of Bag It and Tag It Excursions. When Thierry hires the company to track down her brother, he has no idea what he's getting himself into - especially when he experiences an extreme physical reaction to the beautiful woman.

GHOST OF THE SWAMP - Shot by illegal poachers, Patrick "Pud" Davies finds himself alone and severely injured in the middle of the woods. He's discovered by Billie Crowne, an agent with the EPA, who takes him to her campsite where she tends to his wounds. 

MONSTER OF THE GLADES - When Clint Abrams of Bag It and Tag It Excursions is approached by representatives of JayMax Productions to film scenes in the swamp for a horror movie, he is intrigued. Both by the movie, whose subject hits a little too close to home, and by the tall, freckled redhead, Charlie Dupine.

PREDATOR OF THE PINES - 
While preparing for a hurricane that’s heading straight for the Bag It and Tag It lodge, William “Brew” Estes makes a last-minute run to the market to grab supplies. While there, he heads off a robbery and saves the day…all in a day’s work for the former Marine.

Celeste Hart is exactly where she never wanted to be. When the robbery goes wrong, she knows this could be her only chance to get away. She runs, despite the storm that’s on the way, knowing that if they catch her again, they could break her this time.

SPECTER OF THE MARSH - When a string of small campsite robberies hits close to home, Ray Thomas "Art" Crawford, of Bag It and Tag It Excursions, is asked to help FBI Agent and friend, Billie Crowne, investigate the possibility of drug runners. At the most recent site, it doesn't take Art long to spot something suspicious--paw prints. Big ones.

Being on the run most of her life, Rikki Leonard isn't quick to trust anyone. Growing up cursed as she was, she'd quickly learned to keep her secrets to herself, or risk pain, torture, and ridicule. Cornered in the swamp, can she trust the guys surrounding her?
