Agnew Genre: Historical, Romantic Suspense Length: 288 Pages, ISBN: 978-1-60928-596-8 Price: $16.00 Limited time sale-priced for $11.20 A fallen woman must decide to stay down, or rise and fight… Elijah McKinnon has been found innocent of a heinous murder, but it doesn't erase the hellish years in prison he endured. He boards the train to Pittsburgh a changed man, certain he will never feel free until he's wreaked revenge on the brother who ruined his life. The passenger who catches his eye is intriguing, but he's seen her kind before. The kind who puts on airs–and looks down on Irishmen. Still, he can't seem to stop himself from stepping between her and a pack of ruthless cads.
Mary Jane Lawson is grateful for the handsome stranger's help, but her journey has a higher purpose: to rise above her shattered reputation and declare her independence, come flood or famine. Propriety says she should refuse Elijah's suggestion they pose as husband and wife–for her own protection, of course. Her practical side says it won't hurt to pretend, just this once. Come nightfall, though, their little charade must be carried all the way to shared sleeping quarters, where their vulnerabilities become painfully clear. And when danger past and present threatens, trusting each other becomes a matter of life and death. Product Warnings: A hot Irish accent mixed with high adventure may cause combustion. Beware of falling for this hunk. The heroine says he's hers. Read An Excerpt and Order Online Here

When she charges into his office to tell him she won't let another Grainger screw up her life, the startlingly handsome, former oil rig wildcatter goes for the jugular.

She's always known she was different from the rest of the evil-dictators-in-training Winstons. Uncovering the secret half of her gene pool proves it. Now she's out to bring down her late father's mind-control soda empire–and break the Shadow Czars' hold on Earth. Problem is, becoming a superhero overnight isn't as easy as it looks. Teague Younger has his own secrets to keep: his heritage, and his fierce determination to exact revenge on his friend and mentor's murderer. So far he's kept his cover–until he's forced to use his Light Guardian powers to save Ruby from a sticky situation. Thrust together and on the run, Teague and Ruby form a wary alliance as they desperately fight their circuit-blowing attraction. With an army of Shadow Queen minions hot on their tails, they might have a hard time surviving the night, much less ignoring their hearts.

The last thing Juliana MacKenzie remembers is sitting in a friend's kitchen. In Kansas City. In the twenty-first century. How did she wind up on a burning ship in the middle of the ocean–in the eighteenth century? If that wasn't enough to get her heart started, some dark corner of her memory responds to the ship's enigmatic captain. A man whose touch ignites her senses even as he stubbornly holds her at arm's length.
It's almost too late when Morgan realizes his stowaway is not only female, but a woman from a life and a time he'd almost forgotten. Desire resurges like an undeniable tide–but he is not the man Juliana would remember. She has been unwittingly thrust into a dangerous world, and now she, too, is a target for the pirate who once enslaved him, who still hunts him across the seven seas. Kidnapped by Morgan's worst enemy, Juliana finds herself drawing on inner reserves she never knew she possessed. No way will she let anyone–not even the man she is growing to love–choose her path for her. And no way will she let him offer himself in trade for her freedom.

Her defense of a young wolf from his abusive father is rewarded when the boy mentions the name of a real town. Finally, the chance to learn if her dreams are just as real.

She possesses a dream-wraith ability that challenges everything he thinks he knows about his world, and makes her vulnerable to those who might try to use it–and her–to their advantage.

	Deep Dark Secret by Sierra Dean Genre: Urban Fantasy, Shape-shifters, Vampires Length: Novel, ISBN: 978-1-60928-766-5 Price: $5.50 Limited time sale-priced for $3.85 *The only good Secret is a buried Secret.* Secret McQueen, Book 3 Secret McQueen has hunted vampires, werewolves, and every conceivable supernatural menace-to-society. Seen it all? Not even close. When the queen of the were-ocelots comes to her for help finding a missing girl, the half-vampire/half-werewolf soon realizes how much she has to learn about the things that go bump in the night.
The case of the missing cat is one thing. Pile it up with her new duties as a Tribunal Leader, her tenuous position as mate to the king of the Eastern werewolves, and a slew of new (and unwelcome) supernatural abilities, and Secret is once again in familiar territory. Way over her head. But for this multitasking half-breed, it’s business as unusual. What knocks her for a loop, though, isn’t her lover’s intoxicating kiss. It’s the missing memories rushing at her from out of nowhere, signaling a rapidly approaching fork in her destiny. Her choice will affect not only her life, but her love. Product Warnings: Contains a werewolf king with wandering hands, a creepy English professor with nefarious plans, and one hell of an unexpected gala evening at Columbia.

	The Rebuilding Year by Kaje Harper Genre: Red Hots!!!, Gay Contemporary Length: Novel, ISBN: 978-1-60928-832-7 Price: $5.50 Limited time sale-priced for $3.85 Losing nearly everything leaves room for the one thing they can’t live without. A few excruciating minutes pinned in a burning building cost Ryan Ward his job as a firefighter, the easy camaraderie of his coworkers, his girlfriend, and damn near cost him his left leg. Giving up, though, isn’t an option. Compared to the alternative, choosing a new profession, going back to school, and renting a room from the college groundskeeper are simple. Until he realizes he’s falling in love with his housemate, and things take a turn for the complicated.
John Barrett knows about loss. After moving twice to stay in touch with his kids, he could only watch as his ex-wife whisked them away to California. Offering Ryan a room seems better than rattling around the empty house, but as casual friendship moves to something more, and a firestorm of emotions ignites, the big old house feels like tight quarters. It’s nothing they can’t learn to navigate, though. But when dead bodies start turning up on campus—and one of the guys is a suspect—their first taste of real love could go up in smoke. Product Warnings: Contains two hot men wrestling with a shift in their sexuality, as well as a few positions probably listed in the Gay Kama Sutra. But it’s not all about the hot and sweaty—especially when your previously straight life knocks on the door and comes back to visit. Read an excerpt, find reviews and more at Samhain!

Once the darling of high society, Mazie Chetwyn knows firsthand how quickly the rich and powerful turn their backs on the less fortunate. Orphaned, penniless and determined to defy their ruthless whims, she joins forces with a local highwayman who steals from the rich to give to the poor. Then the pawn broker snitches, and Mazie is captured by the Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire. A man who is far too handsome, far too observant…and surely as corrupt as his father once was.
Sensible, rule-driven Trent Carthwick, twelfth Earl of Radford, is certain the threat of the gallows will prompt the villagers’ beloved Angel of Kindness to reveal the highwayman’s identity. But his bewitching captive volunteers nothing—except a sultry, bewildering kiss. And so the games begin. Trent feints, Mazie parries. He threatens, she pretends nonchalance. He cajoles, she rebuffs. Thwarted at every turn, Trent probes deep into her one vulnerability—her past. There he finds the leverage he needs and a searing truth that challenges all he believes about right and wrong. Product Warnings: The delicious, if left-brained, hero might forever change all you think you know about the Robin Hood legend. Contains razor-sharp wordplay, skinny dipping and tortured hearts.

Much as he loved caring for his eight younger brothers, Matt Mahihkan knows it's time to grab the opportunity to attend college in Atlanta. Realizing Aubrey is his mate should have been a delightful experience…except Aubrey treats him more like a dirty little secret than a lover. Yet Matt is a patient man. Aubrey can't stay in the closet forever. Can he? In time, they settle into a comfortable, if complicated, routine. Until a rogue werewolf with an axe to grind forces Aubrey to add to the wedge of secrets driving him and Matt apart, leaving Matt exposed to danger…and Aubrey forced to choose between love and duty. Product Warnings: Contains color abuse with a really bad sense of fashion, a southern accent from hell, sex on antique furniture, a pouncing playful werewolf, obnoxious siblings, liberal use of a color identifier and impatient sex.

Touching the handsome primitive only sharpens his unbearable lust for Bithia, making him wonder if execution for failure wouldn't be a blessing. When Bithia witnesses the results of Viltori's training, she realizes only these two men can fill her empty heart, inspiring her to take command of the throne at last.

Now, three years after she fell for a man who tried to murder her cousin, she eases her guilt with charity work at an orphanage. Until her mother insists she do her duty.
Attending her cousin's ball is irritating enough. It's her one dance with Daniel, the unscrupulous Earl of Bridgerton, that rubs her nerves raw. And oddly leaves her senses on the edge of arousal. The ton sees Daniel as a scoundrel. In truth, like centuries of Bridgertons before him, he leads a vast network of spies, protecting England from her worst enemies. His resolve never to marry means the one woman he's always wanted–Lady Anna–is off limits. Especially now that his father's murderer is coming after him as well. At first, Anna wonders if Daniel was put on this earth just to annoy her. It's only when she finds him injured that his mask begins to fall away–and so do the barriers between them.

My Ghostly Inspiration

By Hunter.Shea on January 21, 2012

If someone told me 10 years ago that my experiences with the phantom boy that visited my wife and I for a tumultuous year would lead to a horror novel with a publisher as wonderful (and aptly named) as Samhain, I would have asked them to hit the bricks. Well, this isn't the first time I've been wrong, though it is the happiest I've ever felt about being on the opposite side of right.

Who the apparition of the young boy truly was, we'll never know. I do know, however, why he came. You see, not long after my wife and I were married in the 90's, she became seriously ill. So sick, in fact, that after going through the ritual of last rites, and living to tell the tale, she was put on life support so I could bring her home to nurse her back to health. And that's when I first saw the boy, just standing in my hallway looking like a stray kid from the neighborhood who had wandered into our home. Except he would disappear every time he entered the room with my wife. Assuming I may have been cracking under the stress, I kept my handful of sightings of the boy to myself. It was only when my wife got better and said one day, "I was always glad when the boy came to watch over me. He made me feel safe," that the hairs on my neck stood on end. I asked her to describe him, and it was a perfect match.

I had already been bitten by the writing bug. Now I was stricken with a bad case of the paranormals. I eventually put the two together, and what you have is Forest of Shadows, my first release through Samhain. It follows the life of John Backman, an amateur ghost hunter haunted by the inexplicable death of his young wife. Moving to a remote Alaskan town to live in a haunted cabin seemed to be a ghost hunters dream. But the shadows in the surrounding forest and the specters within the cabin walls will bring his worst nightmares to life.

I'm so happy to announce that Forest of Shadows is now in print, perfect for huddling under the covers with on a dark, chilly night. And while you do that, I'll be out seeking the things that frighten people to their core so I can bring those experiences to you. Be very afraid of the shadows. Stay safe and read. I'll go see what just made the floor creek.

To see my travels through the world of writing and the paranormal, come visit me at Hunter Shea.

A ranch. No wife, no kids, no dates. He's had his eye on the pretty owner of the Ugly Stick Saloon, but their one accidental encounter was interrupted before he could get her out of her take-me-now red cowboy boots.
Audrey Anderson isn't in the market for a man. Been there, done that, has the scars to prove it.

When she winds up one stripper short for a private party, she's forced to slip on a mask and into the role of the mysterious Kiki. Jackson didn't want the birthday bash his twin brothers are throwing him, but his vow to ignore the rented stripper goes awry when she shows him exactly how far she's willing to go–for all three of them.

	Heroes Without, Monsters Within by Sheryl Nantus Genre: Urban Fantasy Length: Novel, ISBN: 978-1-60928-574-6, Series: Blaze of Glory Price: $5.50 Limited time sale-priced for $3.85 *Fight alone, die alone.* Blaze of Glory, Book 2 In the weeks since Jo "Surf" Tanis and her rough-and-tumble band of super-powered actors broke free of the government-sponsored superhero show, they're all still dealing with the aftershock of adjusting to this thing called reality.
It doesn't get much more real than a mission to dig survivors out of what's left of Erie, PA, after a mysterious earthquake. A trembler that powerful is as out of place as Jo feels as the de-facto leader of the troupe. Not to mention the soul-shaking feelings she has for Hunter, a team member whose past as an Agency Guardian casts a heavy shadow over any possible relationship. It seems one of the supers, an earth-warper named Ground Pounder, has gone rogue, using his freedom from the Agency's brand of virtual slavery to put the "villain" back in supervillain. Failure to find him before any more innocent bystanders are hurt means the team could be back under the Agency's thumb. It's a burden that doesn't rest easy on Jo's shoulders…especially when the man who's invaded her heart is caught in the crossfire. Product Warnings: Contains kick-ass super women, super men and a budding romance ready to go into orbit. Also, gambling and Las Vegas buffets! Read an excerpt and BUY at Samhain!

The wealth that comes from smuggling supplies to those shunned as summoner-born or demon-touched doesn't hurt, either.
The man she meets to arrange one of those under-the-table hauls is complicated…and handsome as hell. Literally. A glimpse of the predator beneath his silver gaze and she's tempted to break her cardinal rule: never mix business with pleasure. Zel's first look at the wild-haired hauler threatens to distract him from his mission–and reminds him just how long it's been since he got laid. As the leader of an outcast settlement, he can't afford to trust too easily. Devi's got a reputation for running a tight, disciplined crew, but her very willingness to deal with him means she has something to hide. Not to mention a hot, tempting package like her could be the cleverest trap his enemies have ever set. Product Warnings: Contains demon bars, virtual (and literal) fights to the death, forbidden love, renegade AIs, a badass truck-driving heroine who will do anything to protect her crew and the half-demon warrior who will move heaven and hell to make her his.

Then Levi must use only their spiritual connection to find Ian, or the deal is off.
Tracking down his lover is easy, but Levi isn't prepared for the changed man he finds. The agony of separation was too much for Ian. In a moment of weakness, he reached out–to a vampire. Now he's a vampire himself, and Levi's devastation–and rejection–is like a stake to his heart. But it's nothing compared to the fury of the clan that wants Ian brought to justice for desecrating their most sacred ritual. Afraid for Ian's safety, Levi puts the pain aside and races to get to Ian first, but he faces unexpected competition: Darius, Ian's maker. When they come together, all hell breaks loose, Ian is on the run…and the only way Levi and Darius can save the man they love is work together. If they don't kill each other first.
