And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them… Self-exiled to the Outside, Flynn Scot is oath-bound to a life of strict penance. Cursed with a vicious temper and haunted by the blood-stained debauchery of his past, Flynn’s sworn off women, whiskey, and violence, and doesn’t give a damn about whispers of the coming war. He sure as hell isn’t in the mood to make good on a debt when it’s called in, especially when playing white knight outs him as a Talent, and the damsel in distress as his soulmate. On the run from her future as a broodmare for the Source, escaped Talent Kara Jester is no distressed damsel. And the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a blizzard with a surly—and frustratingly captivating—thug. Without the suppression meds holding her libido in check, her biology’s primed to procreate, and Flynn’s growled assurances that he won’t touch her doesn’t match the hunger in his eyes. It doesn’t align with what fate has in store for them, either. With elite troops hot on their heels and the border set to close, it’s a race to the North, away from Kara’s horrific future and towards the dark past Flynn wants to keep buried. Clinging to the shreds of his oath, he’s forced to choose between protecting the woman he’s afraid to love and letting out the animal he swore he’d never be again. Either may destroy him, if Kara’s secrets don’t get them killed first.

Title: Jenny Kidd

Subtitle: Information not available

Summary: “A twisted and sinister affaire macabre.”—R.D. Hartwell While spending autumn in Venice, a young American artist, Jenny Kidd, hopes to create a portfolio of paintings to launch her career and establish her independence from her tyrannical father. At the Guggenheim Collection, she encounters Randi, a colorful British woman, who invites her to a masked ball at the Palazzo Barbon. There, she meets the seductive Caterina Barbon and her brother, Sebastiano, who entice Jenny into a world of glittering façades that cloak sexual perversion, art forgery, and murder. As Jenny struggles between her attraction to Caterina and her growing awareness that she is in danger, Jenny discovers an inner strength and spirit worthy of her infamous pirate ancestor. “A little gem...a top-notch thriller…Jenny Kidd spins its web as languidly as an afternoon by the canals. Egan’s descriptions of the food, the art, and the general atmosphere are as purposeful as they are evocative. Her prose is full-bodied and elegant, and she makes prosecco and prosciutto as sumptuous as the work of Titian and Tintoretto. As delicious as Egan’s writing is when it comes to describing masked balls, four-course lunches, and miniatures painted in pastels, she also knows how to propel a mean action scene. The last twenty pages or so are a breathless rush of dark passageways, tense interrogations, and perfectly executed gore that leave you gasping and satisfied.” —Jerry L. Wheeler, Out in Print “A very compelling suspense novel, rife with stunning imagery and shocking plot beats. An eerie, glittering world.” —Jennica Dotson, author of “A Reaper’s Folly” “The plot becomes…dizzying in its twists and turns. Not only does this book offer a riveting story, but her sentences have a cadence that will carry you along. Once I had reached the half-way point in the book, I found it impossible to put it down.” —Martha Miller, G & L Review

That’s what my future husband Ryan asked as we stood together on the bluff, gazing over Lake Michigan. Turns out, the answer is everything. When I left Manhattan for the quiet promise of Crest Lake, I thought my biggest worries would be finding a job or adjusting to small-town life. But fairy tales can turn dark. My marriage slowly unraveled, and a year ago, Ryan died in a car accident that’s still shrouded in suspicion. Now, my once-idyllic lakefront home is teetering on the edge, literally. The bluff is crumbling, property values are plummeting, and the neighbors are at war over how to save our homes. Tensions explode on the night of a critical vote, and when my biggest rival on the shoreline committee turns up dead, all eyes land on me. I know how this looks. I know what they’re whispering. But I have my own secrets, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them buried. Because in Crest Lake, nothing stays hidden for long. And the truth is more dangerous for me than the bluff itself.
