A Crown for Cold Silver (The Crimson Empire Book 1)by Alex Marshall

"It was all going so nicely, right up until the massacre."

Twenty years ago, feared general Cobalt Zosia led her five villainous captains and mercenary army into battle, wrestling monsters and toppling an empire. When there were no more titles to win and no more worlds to conquer, she retired and gave up her legend to history.

Now the peace she carved for herself has been shattered by the unprovoked slaughter of her village. Seeking bloody vengeance, Zosia heads for battle once more, but to find justice she must confront grudge-bearing enemies, once-loyal allies, and an unknown army that marches under a familiar banner.

Five villans. One Legendary General. A final quest for vengence.

Stratotech 027by M. T. Lancet

Post WWIII. Israel.

Rexala has wanted one thing her whole life: to know how her father died. The details surrounding his death are a military secret. Since the communists won World War Three, the Alliance has kept a lot of secrets. And she’s about to become part of one.

When she is taken to a training facility in the upper atmosphere, Rex discovers she is an Airborne Elite Asset – a cyborg enhanced to survive at high altitudes. She and her fellow recruits are part of a high-tech military experiment that will overthrow the oppressive communist State. With the State having destroyed the internet and now controlling all other technology, this is the Alliance’s last shot at restoring world freedom.

But Rex has her own goal. If she becomes the best fighter in training, she will receive alpha status and gain access to all military information the Alliance holds, including the details of her father’s death. Training will test more than physical fighting ability, however. It will make her fight parts of herself that have been pushed down by abuse and survivor instincts: the ability to trust, to work with others, and even to love. The fact that those around her are involved in sinister plots, determined to win the alpha position, makes that a difficult task.

If she makes it to alpha, she and her team will embark on a covert mission to strike the most dangerous terrorist group in the world. The survival of the free world will be in her hands. But it will all be worth it to find out how her father died.

Or if he did.

The first installment in the 027 series, this fast-paced, apocalyptic military sci fi with cyberpunk and dystopian themes will thrill fans of S.J. Kincaid, K.A. Riley, and Ramona Finn.

Fake It For Meby Weston Parker

I need a woman to help me shut up my big Greek family.

And my new intern is perfect for the job, though pretending to have a relationship with her might be a little taboo.

Good thing I’m in charge.

Being a self-made billionaire, I haven’t spent much time looking for love.

None actually.

Lucky for me, it’s fallen right into my lap.

This pretty American girl has zero sense of direction, but a good heart and a sexy smile.

I’ve always been smitten by a woman that needs rescuing, or so it seems.

Something tells me that she might be more than I bargained for.

Either way, I just need her to fake it for me until it appears real.

Funny how real it quickly becomes.

Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston

Surreal Absurdityby Jim Lively

What is it about Charles Pierce that makes people want to kill him?

He’s retired from his law practice, does pro bono work for non-profits, and has turned all his attention to focus on his art. He even rented a studio, as part of a gallery where exhibitions are well attended and the wine flows freely.

So why does a mysterious and hostile young man threaten him, while the woman who tried to poison him last year shows up at an exhibition to purchase one of his abstract paintings?

Charles can’t seem to avoid associating with criminals. Even Detective Gonzales believes he is somehow involved in a series of local murders because his business cards are found at the scene.

No one, least of all Charles, can explain it, but the more he seeks clues and answers, the more he finds the whole situation to be a Surreal Absurdity.
