Even simple plans never quite work out for
intergalactic trader Tar Reztap, and yet he and his loyal friend Gorth keep
finding their way into crazy missions that border the impossible. Chased
throughout known space aboard the Bloated Namreg (quite possibly the ugliest
ship to ever dock in a space port), it’s not long before Reztap’s nemesis
catches up. And it’s not the Captain of the Progorian warship (really it was an
honest mix-up that started that war); nor the Madame of the Courtesan Academy,
who happens to be half-sister to the head of the assassin’s guild. No, real
trouble requires blood ties. Reztap’s brother sends the traders spinning back
into space on a mission to rescue a princess from a fortress on Alaga One’s
moon.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and
Reztap and Gorth are forced to pull out their back-up navigator – an eccentric
android named Chuck, who has a thing for decorating (and “Rezzy”).Aboard the
Namreg, a door that couldn’t be opened for thirteen years mysteriously grants entrance
to a hidden chamber. Inside is a treasure, a long-lost family member, and a
mission no one has to force Reztap to do. This time, he can’t fail.
Regretfully, the “rescued” Princess Slurk is still on board, with plans of her
own.

Six on Sunday - Every Battle Lord's Nightmare
1. A
ghost of a smile crossed her lips. Lips he had the sudden urge to kiss. He felt
his body tense up with the memory of the past few months. Their wild,
uninhibited need to copulate because of Atty's surging hormones, and the lure
of her out-of-control pheromones emitted during that first trimester of her
pregnancy, often left them exhausted but elated. Fortunately, with her in her
second trimester, that would no longer be an issue.
2.
Renken
gestured at the lodge around them. “We can't assume this summit is going to be
all sweet cakes and puppies. We can't assume this Highcliff character is
looking to fill his docket with both sides, hoping they'll either come to blows
or end up signing off on a new set of treaties.” He threw his knife onto the
table, the hilt swaying gently upon impact as the blade sank into the wood. “Call
me a pessimist, but what if those battle lords who hate Mutah far outnumber
those of you who don't? And I'm talking big odds, like four to one, or maybe
higher. What if those anti-Mutah bastards' intent is to gather all the
pro-Mutah leaders together in one convenient package? Draw us in nice and neat
in the center with them forming a bloody donut around us?”
3.
There
was a flash of brightness as the ex-mercenary moved out of her line of sight to
fetch her weapons from where they were strapped to the saddle. Atty stood and
turned to face where the blood red light was emanating. Her hands grasped the
long bow and quiver that were thrust into her hands, looping the container of
arrows over her neck. Notching a shaft was automatic, done without thought
until she realized she was armed and ready.
4.
She
tugged on Renken’s tunic, pulling him along with her. She heard the almost
silent silvery whine as he drew his sword from its scabbard. He reached behind
him with his other hand and touched hers tugging on him. Her shoulder bumped
into the wall…and it gave way. Hastily, she pushed it open further and
retreated inside, almost dragging the ex-mercenary with her. The two strange
men passed them less than a heartbeat later as they stood just inside the
doorway. They heard the footsteps stop not too far down the hall, then a door
opened and closed, leaving them in absolute silence once again.
5.
He
couldn’t breathe.
6. “D’Jacques.”
The tone was gentler. Coaxing. Yulen turned to the battle lord. “It’s not too
late to change your mind.” Highcliff held out his hands like a man giving a
benediction. “You are an excellent soldier and a brilliant strategist. But,
somehow, you traveled off the beaten path. That woman must have beguiled you to
make you this way. Perhaps she used some sort of potion or Mutah magic. But it
doesn’t have to be that way anymore. Just turn your back on those monstrosities
and join my ranks. Come back to us, Yulen. Make your father proud, and help me
wipe out the last of that diseased race. Believe me when I tell you, the last
thing I want to do is make a martyr out of you.”

Twenty-three-year-old Jancie Sadler was out of the room when her mother died, and her heart still longs for their lost goodbye. Aching to ease her sorrow, Aunt Starla gives Jancie a diary that changes her entire life. In entries from the 1930s, her great grandmother revealed how she coped with her own painful loss by seeking out a witch from nearby Coon Hollow Coven. The witch wore the griever’s moonstone locket, which allowed whoever could unlock its enchantment to talk with the dead.
Determined to find that locket, Jancie goes to the coven’s annual carnival held in her small southern Indiana town of Bentbone. This opposes her father’s strict rule: stay away from witches. But she’s an adult now and can make her own decisions. She meets Rowe McCoy, the kind and handsome witch who wears the moonstone. He agrees to let her try to open the locket, but they’re opposed by High Priestess Adara and her jealous desire to possess him. Desperate for closure with her mother, Jancie persists and cannot turn away from a perilous path filled with magic, romance, and danger.

Once upon a time, there lived a man with five rambunctious daughters. They were an average American farming family except for one minor detail. The man was a warlock, and all of his daughters were witchlets—half witch and half human.
Rast Clemmons is the most arrogant, opinionated, and snobbish son of a bitch Penderly Blakeney has ever met. The fact that he is also her new boss only makes matters worse.
With Easter and her birthday just around the corner, Penderly knows beyond a doubt that her heart's call works at the seafood plant. It's only a matter of time before she discovers who he is, and they seal their future together with the sex hex test.
But first she has to get rid of Rast Clemmons, who is quickly becoming a major pain in the ass. Regardless of the outcome, that man has screwed up her life for the last time, and now she's ready to call for magical reinforcements.

* * *
As a librarian, Sophia Marcil loved
reading, especially books about ancient curses and reincarnation, but she never
imagined the legend of the Purple Delhi Sapphire was true until she inherited
it and was transported back to a past life where she was murdered. Now she
knows that not only is reincarnation real, but so is the devil’s magic locked
inside the precious gem. Just as she’s about to tell her boyfriend Cullen about
it, he proposes with an engagement ring made from a piece of the very sapphire
that’s cursed her. Reeling from the shock and surrounded by his family, she
allows him to place it on her ring finger. As soon as it touches her skin, she
feels herself being wrenched back in time.
Before she knows it, she’s
wandering the hallway of an old Victorian house in the body of her great aunt.
Unfortunately, her nemesis has also reincarnated in 1920—as one of her family
members. Sophia struggles to locate the Purple Delhi Sapphire in time to
prevent the deaths of those she loves, but she fails and returns to her
present-day life, to the precise moment she left, with a deep understanding
that her killer’s soul is also tied to the sapphire and every life she has, he
is resurrected as someone close to her.
Her stalker ex-boyfriend Nick seems
like a prime candidate this time but she’s convinced she’s a step ahead of him,
thanks to a tip from a medium, she knows that if she uses the magic of the
stone correctly she can trap Nick’s soul in the sapphire and save herself. But
when Nick is murdered, she finds evidence that has her questioning everything
she thought she knew.
Is Cullen husband material or is
history doomed to repeat itself?
