A knife in the back.

Kari thought she was safe. She had Piper. They’d escaped the Imperium. Things were good.

Wrong.

The Guild of assassins wants her dead and no one escapes the Guild. Worse; the assassin is a member of her own crew. This betrayal could tear the crew apart.

How can Kari survive against a trained killer?

If you enjoy exploring new planets, fighting impossible odds, and the smell of plasma pistols in the rain, then you’ll love Starship Renegades: Betrayal.

Edited last week, this fast-paced thriller is now available for pre-order.

The world knows him as Santa Claus or Father Christmas, but his official name has been Saint Nicholas of Myra for over seventeen hundred years, and someone will kill over one gift he’s left behind.

When Alex and Sam take a vacation on board a chartered yacht in the Adriatic, their tranquil escape comes to a grinding halt. In the wrong place at the wrong time, they are drawn into a world of biochemical warfare threatening to destroy countless innocent lives.

What lurks at the center of it all are the remains of a seventeen-hundred-year-old Christian saint whose bones secrete a liquid believed to possess immense healing powers. For centuries the Roman Catholic Church in Italy has kept the elixir sacred; extracted only once a year to heal the sick. However, things go dreadfully wrong, and the revered fluid goes missing.

Now, relying on their unique skills and valor to take on a powerful enemy, Alex and Sam are in a race against time to find the essence and prevent it from landing in the wrong hands. Will they have what is necessary to stop a ruthless enemy before millions of innocent people die?

Join them in another riveting adventure as they travel between China, Greece, and Italy in a quest to save the world!

Inspired by real historical facts and events. The Bari Bones is Book 5 in the action-packed Alex Hunt Adventure Thriller series.

Also suitable as a standalone novel.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being reminded over recent weeks of how much I enjoyed historical fiction in my younger days. Edited earlier this month, Katherine is a difficult book to put down.

 

She is past the age of falling in love – He does not think he is capable of it.

Miss Katherine Lockhart is a woman of sense and reason. She has managed her brother’s household in an efficient manner for years. When he marries she finds her position in his household increasingly untenable and is sent to Helagon, his property in Cornwall. She finds a derelict house, an untamed landscape, and a man with a wild past.

Harry, Viscount Treleven has a zest for life and an irrepressible sense of humour. But when he returns home after five years in exile, eager to take up the threads of his old life, he finds they have been slowly unravelling in his absence.

When Miss Lockhart stumbles into his orbit their lives become entangled in ways he had never imagined.

A definite change of genre for me with this one as it’s quite steamy, and very different.  Edited in March, it was published in October.

 

Making a killing in the City can be murder at home

After sharp-witted trader Ray is told by his sexy corporate lawyer wife Penny to stop insider trading, he knows that something must change. When he discovers she’s been having an affair on her business trips, the tables are turned and he has to choose between keeping the millions he’s fraudulently made or keeping the woman he loves. How will he decide?

 

The Death and Life of Penny Pitstop is a stand-alone steamy modern thriller set in London’s world of high finance. This hot crime drama is based on the scintillating experience of Leopold Borstinski’s life working in the City.
