Book Basset

One ship. One mission. A cargo of death bound for American shores.

Brice Bannon served fifteen years in the Coast Guard, most recently as captain of the Deployable Operations Group (DOG), the Coast Guard’s version of the Army’s Special Forces and Navy’s SEAL operations. When the command was decommissioned, rather than accept reassignment, Bannon retired from the full-time Coast Guard. But Bannon didn’t leave the Coast Guard behind completely. He remains in the Reserves.

Recruited by the Secretary of Homeland Security, he leads a small, secretive team of specially-trained, highly-skilled operatives capable of responding to and investigating specific, targeted threats against the homeland. Threats that cannot be effectively handled by standard operating means. Threats that call for a unique and often secret approach outside the normal channels of either Homeland Security or the Department of Defense.

When not risking his life for the government, Bannon runs the Keel Haul, his bar in the resort town of Hampton Beach, on the New Hampshire seacoast. There, he also operates as a small-town private investigator and tends to get himself in big trouble along with the help of his two best friends and teammates, Tarakesh “Blades” Sardana and CWO Skyjack McMurphy.

A tornado landed a handsome contractor on this widow’s doorstep. Will she let him into her heart?

Patricia Aldridge has taken one face punch after the other from life for the last five years. First, she lost the love of her life, and then her son was diagnosed with cancer. Just when she thinks her luck is about to change, a tornado rips past Saddleback Ridge, taking with it half her house.

Craig Matheson, an eternal bachelor, is nearing fifty. After selling his successful contracting business in Colorado Springs, he’s ready to live at a slower pace now that he’s bought a rundown ranch. He planned on falling in love with his passion for carpentry again; instead, he finds himself falling for his first client in town.

Patricia isn’t looking for love; she’s experienced loss before and is terrified of opening her heart to it again. Craig had accepted he wasn’t the family type… until he met Patricia and her son, Will.

Can Patricia stop living in the past and embrace the future?
Is Craig ready for the commitment of a lifetime?

What really haunts Fenton House?
After the tragic death of their eleven-year-old son, Adam and Ella are fighting to keep their family from falling apart. Then comes an opportunity that seems too good to be true. They win a competition to live for free in a breathtakingly beautiful mansion on the Cornish Lizard Peninsula. There’s just one catch: the house is supposedly haunted.

Mystery has always swirled around Fenton House. In 1920 the house’s original owner, reclusive industrialist Walter Lewarne, hanged himself from its highest turret. In 1996, the then inhabitants, George Trehearne, his wife Sofia, and their young daughter Heloise vanished without a trace. Neither mystery was ever solved.

Adam is not the type to believe in ghosts. As far as he’s concerned, ghosts are simply memories. Everywhere he looks in their cramped London home he sees his dead son. Despite misgivings, the chance to start afresh is too tempting to pass up. Adam, Ella, and their surviving son Henry move into Fenton House. At first, the change of scenery gives them all a new lease of life. But as the house starts to reveal its secrets, they come to suspect that they may not be alone after all…

E.J. Kane is a disgraced former Texas Ranger working his last chance job as head of security at an energy company. An oilfield death leads to discovering an ingenious theft ring involving a sovereign citizens’ organization. Losing his son in Afghanistan began a spiral, destroying his marriage and exacerbating his daughter’s drug addiction. Addiction pushes his daughter into the hands of human traffickers. E.J.’s ex-wife’s skill as an attorney reveals the identity of a murderer trying to take over a giant energy conglomerate. When the killer offers a deal to save his daughter, can E.J. rescue her and bring the guilty to justice?

Notorious British Striker Dylan is pretending to be mine. Will this fake relationship send us to stardom or end our careers?

The last person I wanted to see again was Knox Callahan. He’s cocky and a total player. But at my lowest, he came into my life, offering a home instead of a place. Care instead of chaos. I know falling for him could be dangerous to my heart, but resisting him might just break it.

Tyler may be the star striker and a serial womanizer, but underneath his frivolous bravado, I see the real Tyler – the kind, protective man I’ve known since childhood. But he still sees me as a fragile, untouchable princess. Maybe it’s time I show him I’m anything but.

She survived the battlefield.
The truth might kill her.

When a covert mission to capture a high-value Al Qaeda target collapses in Iraq, U.S. Army Sergeant Amber Downing disappears behind enemy lines, taken captive and presumed dead. Her military working dog, Razor, is left broken beside her — another casualty of a war that doesn’t forgive mistakes.

Amber does survive. But captivity leaves scars no rescue mission can erase.

Now a disabled veteran trying to rebuild her life in rural Colorado, Amber works at a VA Medical Center while battling PTSD, survivor’s guilt, and the loss of her fiancé in combat. With the help of her highly trained service dog, Nikita, she keeps the darkness at bay — until her job pulls her into something far more dangerous than therapy sessions and paperwork.

A disturbing pattern of veteran suicides lands on Amber’s desk. What first looks like tragedy soon reveals signs of manipulation… and a conspiracy hiding in plain sight.

When powerful forces realize Amber is asking the wrong questions, the hunt begins again.

With enemies closing in, buried trauma resurfacing, and Nikita as her only constant, Amber must rely on skills forged in war and captivity to expose the truth — before she becomes the next name on the list.

She was his chance for redemption.
He was her key to freedom.

Prince Ramiel Faundor is a bastard. His entire existence is the second best-kept secret in a kingdom built on blurred lines. But when his dragon-slaying brother dies in battle, Ramiel must stand in his place in the kingdom’s coronation duel. There’s just one problem: thanks to the king’s intimidation, no noble or soldier dares to train him.

Ether Malaphon is a cutthroat elven warrior. Her hatred for humanity is etched into her soul, second only to her resentment for the fairies who killed her parents. Her world unravels when she’s dragged from her village to be sacrificed to a long-dead monarch. But fate intervenes when a certain desperate prince strikes a bargain that might save her life. If he rescues her, she must agree to train him for his duel.

As time runs out and enemies close in, Ramiel and Ether must navigate dark curses, buried secrets, and a history determined to repeat itself. But in a kingdom shaped by betrayal, victory may come at the ultimate cost.

From New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters, comes one of her best tales yet…
“What do you do when you meet your soul mate? No wait… that’s too easy. What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret?
I’ll tell you what you do.
You lie.”

REN

Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn’t exist — that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth.
His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror.
But then… he ran.
He thought he’d run on his own. Turned out, he took something of theirs by accident and it became the one thing he never wanted and the only thing he ever needed.

DELLA

I was young when I fell in love with him, when he switched from my world to my everything.
My parents bought him for cheap labour, just like they had with many other kids, and he had the scars to prove it.
At the start, he hated me, and I could understand why.
For years he was my worst enemy, fiercest protector, and dearest friend.
But by the end… he loved me.
The only problem was, he loved me in an entirely different way to the way I loved him.
And slowly, my secret drove us apart.
