Reasonable Doubt by Rick Fuller

Richard Frost is dying, his lungs ravaged with cancer. Before he dies, he makes one last trip into the mountain wilderness, hiding something important and valuable. As he makes his way back to his car, the snow begins to fall, covering up all signs of his presence and hiding a trail that will take years to uncover.

Eight years later, a man lies dead, murdered by someone looking for the answers to a mysterious poem; a poem that holds the clues to finding the coveted items hidden in the wilderness by Frost.

The evidence at the murder scene all points to one suspect, the murdered man’s best friend, a brilliant engineer with a job in a top-secret aerospace firm. But the murdered man worked there too, and his death may have far-reaching national security implications.

A detective with high career aspirations, a defense attorney who’s in way over his head, and a prosecutor who has never lost a major case round out the main characters in this fast-paced legal thriller. With cutting wit, a cryptic riddle that will keep you spellbound, and legal drama around every corner, Reasonable Doubt will leave you unable to stop turning the pages!

The Fury of a Stormeby Sandra Sookoo

Not all storms cause destruction and chaos. Some make new paths and bring clarity. The difference is found within.

The Honorable Caroline Storme has been furious with life since she was twelve. Sent to an asylum due to a suspected mental deficiency, she has finally returned to London, not with vengeance in mind but freedom. Wanting nothing more than to pursue her passions in peace, she vows to ignore everyone around her, until she meets the one man who understands her… a big, barrel-chested sailor with tattoos and a devastating grin.

Mr. John Butler is in London to reconnect with his drunken, baron father before the man pickles himself. The family holdings are deeply in debt and decay, but he doesn’t care about them. Sailing holds his heart as well as his easy, carefree existence in Ipswich. That is until he runs into a woman in Hyde Park. There’s a quiet strength about her but also a banked fury that stokes his own… a woman with stormy eyes and a mouth that’s begging to be kissed.

When London proves too much for them both, John is quick to offer a solution: a marriage of convenience despite vehement protests from the Storme clan. It will give her freedom as well as settling his future.

But his blackguard of a father threatens the hasty union that is suddenly filled with affection and primal desire, the sacrifices offered might be too high for either of them to pay once love is involved.

Of Mortal Furyby Kathryn Le Veque

When Morgan de Wolfe, commander of Richmond Castle, is called by his liege Caius d’Avignon (Winter of Solace) into the full-fledged world of the Executioner Knights to go deep under cover, a de Wolfe becomes a Wolfe in sheep’s clothing for the sake of William Marshal and his spy ring.

Will a de Wolfe be the greatest Executioner Knight of all?

Morgan de Wolfe, cousin to Edward de Wolfe, Earl of Wolverhampton (and father of William de Wolfe of The Wolfe), finds himself the perfect man for an Executioner Knight’s job. Assuming the identity of a dead man, he makes his way to the Welsh border to infiltrate his way into a castle stolen by a Marshal enemy. His task is to use the dead man’s identity to reclaim the castle.

What he didn’t count on was a woman who could quite possibly ruin his mission.

And possibly even his life.

Amarantha de la Haye’s father assumed control of Mount Grace when King John betrayed the owners and confiscated the castle. Unaware of how, exactly, her father came to command the mighty castle and control its silver mine, Amarantha has lived in peace at Mount Grace, an educated and clever young woman but finds herself a pawn of her ambitious father. When a chance meeting with Morgan sees sparks fly between the two of them, she has no idea that she will be the key to Morgan’s mission… and possibly her own destruction.

The Wolfe fangs are sharpening.

Join Morgan and Amarantha on a complex journey of lies, deceit, betrayal, and ultimately the power of love. Will Morgan obey William Marshal? Or will he obey his heart?
