Sitting Duck by Robert Dodds

‘Not a whodunnit, but a who’ll do it!’
‘Lucky Jim’ meets ‘The Beach’: a pacy, comic novel with a sting in the tail.

This is the journal of Martin Mallard: middle-aged, divorced and uptight, but determined to put a little adventure into his life. He’s signed up with Target Holidays for a group tour of Pootapuri, an obscure island in the Bay of Bengal. The ill-assorted group turns into a hornets’ nest, and, worse, it gradually dawns on him that someone has got it in for him. Someone homicidal…
Within his journal’s pages lie the clues to his eventual murder. It’s been so generous of the murderer to share the journal with us – and belatedly to fulfil Martin’s own literary ambitions.

The Wayward Mage: The Adventures of Jack Wartnoseby A.S. Norris

So, you think being a mage is an exciting job class to choose?
Oh sure, it’s fantastic being able to shoot fireballs or end an argument by making the other person float away. But some problems can’t be so easily dismissed.

With these powers comes a hard price: an extensive and often intense training; we cannot lie; we cannot break an oath; and infractions and misuse of magical powers are punishable up to death—though, only if you delve into the taboo—to name but a few of the restrictions the Mage’s Code puts on us. And all that comes before you’re either tucked away in a grinding research facility or sent out to join other adventurers on quests. You always feel like you’re racing against the clock to meet the expectations of your superiors. You’re never paid enough. You’re expected to be a servant and deny yourself certain societal comforts and customs.

Yet here, I find myself breaking that expectation.

When, by a chance encounter, my party happened into a tavern where I was reunited with my childhood sweetheart and lover after almost twenty years, and she reveals I have a son—what was I to do? Abandon them again in favor of continuing my quest? Or face my past and make it right? What would you have done in my place?

Join the adventures of Jack Wartnose while he navigates being a father and making things right with his childhood sweetheart, mutinous party members, shadows from his past, and quests—all while the chase continues for the invaluable Tome of Time. Will Wartnose ever catch a break?

Thoroughly Captivatedby Chantry Dawes

A man and a woman with scars from their past find love and a future together.

London 1812

Graestone Castle has become a place of refuge and recovery for men who fought for their king. Coming home to Graestone does not mean refuge for the Baron of Graestone, however. He is a man otherwise known as Captain War.
War is riddled with guilt from the loss of men and artillery horses who served under him, as well as a terrible family secret.
He can rebuild the decaying Graestone Castle. He can help the wounded men find a purpose in life after battle, but War realizes he must have help for the injured horses.

Sometimes you are so busy saving others, you don’t realize that you need saving as well.

Miss Lula Darley of Aldbey Park is an unusual young lady. Out of necessity due to the wars, she has been the veterinary practitioner for her family’s horses at her home of Aldbey Park.

Lula has scars physical and mental left from an attack in Hyde Park after a night at a ball. Though her memory of the night is not clear, it has left her with anxiety and panic. With the scars on her hand and forehead, she believes marriage is not possible for her. With recommendations in hand, she pursues a position as an animal practitioner at Graestone Castle.

War does not want Lula in his castle of injured men and horses. She irritatingly faints at the sight of him and manages to rile him like no other. However, he has no choice but to let her stay as a winter storm descends on Graestone.

Lula works hard to help the injured horses while she is snowed in at the dour castle. At the same time, she realizes that War holds a terrible secret for she hears the faint sound of weeping daily and finds out there has been a murder at Graestone.

She is determined to find out more because she is falling in love with War and it is he that is accused of the murder.
The gruff baron vows that he has no love to give to anyone, even though he cannot resist kissing Lula.

Lula will help the horses, but she will also bring life, love, and healing from hurts past and present back to all at Graestone Castle, including the man named War.
