An Unwilling Spy (A Nest of Spies)by Janis Linford

He’s ruthlessly experienced. She’s a novice — in over her head.

Book 1 is now available in A Nest of Spies series.

Adeline Perran doesn’t want to be a traditional woman. Knitting or sewing? No thank you. She’d rather row her dinghy and have adventures. So when a ship flounders off the coast one night, she seizes her chance and goes smuggling … only to end up as a spy.

Richard Clendon, code-name Finch, is the most experienced agent at the network. Aloof yet frighteningly observant, he’s tasked with training Adeline. But when they’re given a dangerous mission across Napoleon’s war-torn France after only three weeks, she’s hardly ready. Frankly, he’s not sure she’ll survive.

They travel as husband and wife but they’re discovered, and as they flee merciless militia, Adeline must use her ingenuity to keep them alive. But being a pretend wife often leads to wanting the real thing and soon she faces the greatest danger of all — the love that flares between her and Finch –unbidden and totally impossible …

Dirty Deedsby Armand Rosamilia

I get paid to erase problems.

Did your extramarital affair produce an unwanted complication? Family problems? Just want to enjoy your midlife crisis by yourself?

That’s where I come in. For a fee I’ll take care of it. A big fee.

Only, I’m not going to do what you think. I’m not going to save you from them, I’m going to save them from you.

Genesis (Harry Starke Genesis Book 1)by Blair Howard

She was the one that got away.

It was a dark and stormy night… No kidding, it really was.
I’d quit the police force only a couple of days earlier – that was back in 2008 – and I was on my way to a poker game at the Sorbonne when a shadow crossed in front of my car. It went by so fast I didn’t have time to stop. I hit the brakes hard and swerved into the mud at the side of the road.
I looked out through the deluge, but it was difficult to make out the figure coming towards the driver’s side window. Instinctively, my hand went for my gun and rested on the grip, but as the figure came closer I could see it was a girl. Her hair, dark, bobbed, was plastered to her head and face. The raccoon eye shadow smeared above her eyes had run in rivulets down her cheeks. She looked like one of the walking dead, but more than that she looked scared, really scared.
What the hell is she doing out here alone in this kind of weather? I wondered as I let go of my gun and rolled the window down a half-inch.
“Get in the back,” I yelled at her, and flipped the lock so she could open the door. And that’s how it all began. Had I known what I was getting myself into I might have done differently… No, I wouldn’t. Anyway, that’s how I became a private detective.
“I read a lot of what I consider to be well written mysteries. Sue Grafton, Martha Grimes, Margret Truman, etc. This one is every bit as good and I really could not put it down.” Amazon Reviewer
The Harry Starke Genesis series of mystery thrillers is recommended for fans of David Baldacci, James Patterson’s Alex Cross, Harlan Coben’s Myron Bolitar, Robert B. Parker’s Spenser, John Sandford’s Lucas Davenport, and Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon.

The Smartphone Addiction Restriction: It's Almost Too Late…by A Concerned Citizen Publishing

Use Your Phone, Don’t Get Used By It.

Smartphones have transformed the world with their convenience and capabilities. A single small device can replace a landline, camera, CD player, and road map–but all of this miraculous technology comes with a cost.

The dark side of smartphones is not always so obvious. Checking your phone constantly from dawn until dusk has become normalized, and most people don’t realize they’re trapped in a very real addiction.

Smartphones have particularly powerful effects on our children, making them shallow, depressed, and unable to think critically. They exercise less, rarely socialize, get worse grades, and have lower self-esteem. In the most severe cases, they may even take their own lives.

Despite how common this addiction is, it is possible to overcome. The Smartphone Addiction Restriction is a guide for those who see the danger of the situation. We may not be able to quit using smartphones entirely, but with this tested and proven plan, we can limit their activity to the most essential uses.

In The Smartphone Addiction Restriction, you’ll learn:

• The way that smartphones were designed to be not just entertaining but addictive
• Why smartphone users spend over five years of their lives swiping and clicking
• A multiple-choice test to determine your personal level of addiction
• All the things you’ll have time for when you use your cell phone less
• Tips and techniques to fight the urge to reach for your cell phone when your cravings hit
• A step-by-step, day-by-day plan to reduce (or eliminate) your smartphone usage

And much more!

You can’t live life to the fullest while you’re staring at your phone. Even though smartphones are incredibly addictive, you–and your children–can break free of this dangerous habit. When you put down your phone, you’ll find yourself happier, more confident, energized, and actually smarter! On The Smartphone Addiction Restriction plan, you’ll cut your screen time down by 80% and possibly even further.
