The terrorism risk in America has reached an all-time high. Recognizing the need for an aggressive response, Homeland Security assigns Wynn C. Garrett to eliminate the threat of the Al Jahbid terrorist organization, by “any means necessary.” Believing he is a former Navy Seal, they expect him to be politically correct and follow reasonable guidelines of war. He turns out to be anything but reasonable. While he single-handedly exacts vengeance on the terrorists who target America, his questionable tactics are met with disapproval from his bosses, Thomas Wardahl and Richard Scorby. Their attempts to curb his reckless behavior are unsuccessful and Wynn Garrett is well on his way to completing the assignment before they discover his true identity.

Scream For Me

A Novel of the Night Hunter



Author: Cynthia Eden

Price: $ 0.99


GET DEAL at Amazon


Nothing is deeper than the desire they can’t fight—or deadlier than the evil they can’t escape.

They were only supposed to have a professional relationship, but FBI agent Kyle McKenzie has been fantasizing about his sexy partner, Cadence Hollow, from the moment they first met. It takes the darkest case of their careers to finally bring their hidden desire bubbling to the surface. Once they’re in each other’s arms, though, they swear that nothing short of death will part them. The Night Hunter—a cunning stalker whose four-state, fifteen-year abduction spree began in Paradox, Alabama, with Kyle’s sister—may be only too happy to oblige.

In the small town, Kyle must confront the painful past he’s been hiding from Cadence. Kyle vows to put the Hunter behind bars…or in the ground. But the one thing that obsesses Kyle more than his sister’s grim fate—his furious love for Cadence—is the weapon the Hunter will use to lure his pursuers into the mouth of a murderous trap.

Child's Play

Elle Harrison Novels



Author: Merry Jones

Price: $ 0.99


GET DEAL at Amazon


Since her husband’s murder two years earlier, life hasn’t been easy for Elle Harrison. Now, at the start of a new school year, the second grade teacher is determined to move on. She’s selling her house and delving into new experiences—like learning trapeze.

Just before the first day of school, Elle learns that a former student, Ty Evans, has been released from juvenile detention where he served time for killing his abusive father. Within days of his release, Elle’s school principal, who’d tormented Ty as a child, is brutally murdered. So is a teacher at the school. And Ty’s former girlfriend. All the victims have links to Ty.

Ty’s younger brother, Seth, is in Elle’s class. When Seth shows up at school beaten and bruised, Elle reports the abuse, and authorities remove Seth and his older sister, Katie, from their home. Is Ty the abuser?

Ty seeks Elle out, confiding that she’s the only adult he’s ever trusted. She tries to be open-minded, even wonders if he’s been wrongly condemned. But when she’s assaulted in the night, she suspects that Ty is her attacker. Is he a serial killer? Is she his next intended victim?

Before Elle discovers the truth, she’s caught in a deadly trap that challenges her deepest convictions about guilt and innocence, childhood and family. Pushed to her limits, she’s forced to face her fears and apply new skills in a deadly fight to survive.

Author Description:
I've been writing ever since I could hold a pencil, but I didn't start writing books until the year after my second child was born. At that point, I asked myself: if not now, when? And I closed up my freelance video business to focus on my writing.

In the twenty odd years since then, I've written two non-fiction books (including BIRTHMOTHERS: Women who relinquished babies for adoption tell their stories), five humor books (including I LOVE HIM, BUT...) and, as of 2014, eleven suspense novels (including OUTSIDE EDEN, ELECTIVE PROCEDURES, THE TROUBLE WITH CHARLIE, WINTER BREAK, BEHIND THE WALLS, SUMMER SESSION, THE BORROWED AND BLUE MURDERS, THE DEADLY NEIGHBORS, THE RIVER KILLINGS, THE NANNY MURDERS).

My favorite writing is about the shady area between reality and perception, where people can't be sure of what they're sensing and concluding. I like putting "normal" characters into unexpected situations where they confront shadows and have to feel their way toward the truth, no matter how dangerous or frightening it may be.
