I keep seeing advertisements for baby hedgehogs on my timeline. I gave up on the idea of getting a hedgehog two or three years ago. Did I say I wanted a hedgehog out loud and Google heard me. Freaking Google. I clicked on the link and it takes me to a website that sells cute baby hedgehogs, but you have to pick them up at their location in Connecticut. CONNECTICUT!!??? I’m in California! I can’t drive all the way to Connecticut for a baby hedgehog. Why advertise that to me? Is Google teasing me? That’s super mean Google. It wouldn’t be completely out of the question to drive to Arizona for a hedgehog though. I don’t want a hedgehog. But I kinda do now.

FREE for a limited time

With the frightening power of the world’s only anti-gravity aircraft in the hands of a ruthless secret society determined to rip four states out of the union, the FBI calls on Special Agent Frank Deal and his expert team of WMD hunters to recover the crucial technology before The Cause can implement its final masterstroke.

Deep inside the underground laboratories of Area 51, Dr. Rick Donnelly has just uncovered the secret that will allow the country’s new gravity wave-powered aircraft to become fully operational. But Donnelly has no intention of giving his discovery to the United States government.

Instead, he will present the cutting-edge technology to his real employers – The Cause. Donnelly’s theft sets in motion a devastating plan that will plunge the entire country into chaos or, worse, a second civil war. The unimaginable power of gravity wave propulsion, unleashed in the form of an invulnerable aircraft, gives The Cause everything it needs to trigger its shocking gambit for ultimate power.

Led by the world’s foremost WMD hunter, Frank Deal, the FBI launches a nationwide manhunt for Donnelly and the crucial technology. Scrambling for leads, Deal finds himself in the small university town of Banebridge, Alabama, where he meets student Michael King. Michael and three friends have unearthed evidence that a shadowy student organization on campus -The Tyros – is much more than it appears. The amateur sleuths’ information provides Deal with his only clue to locating Donnelly and the gravity wave plane.

The startling connections between The Cause, The Tyros, and Donnelly pull Deal and the four university students squarely into the center of a conflict that could destroy the United States of America and change the balance of power in the world forever.

Her Unexpected Cowboy (Unforgettable Cowboys Book 1)

Genre: Romance | Religion & Spirituality | Religious & Inspirational Fiction

FREE for a limited time

A cowboy without a memory, a goat rancher in desperate need of help, and neither expect the dangers that follow…
Sydney hides out at her goat ranch, unwilling to ask for the help she desperately needs. She clings to her loneliness as a badge, that is until a cowboy who strangely matches her crazy birthday wish shows up at her door.

She is half-scared, half-intrigued by this handsome but bruised up cowboy with no memory. Does she allow him to stay in her barn and help, or send him on his way and hope he listens?

Jameson wakes up on the side of a country road in the middle of nowhere hurting pretty much everywhere and having no idea of who he is or why he is there. When he walks to the nearest house, he’s both relieved and fearful that a beautiful single woman answers his call for help.

He has to find out who he is, but Sydney has captured his heart and he makes excuses to stay near her, helping at her ranch. A nagging feeling like time closing in keeps tugging at him, until the Sheriff pays Sydney a call and Jameson recognizes his voice — a voice that causes a chill to run down his spine.

When the past catches up in a web of danger, they realize there is more at stake than just their hearts — their lives hang on the thread of his lost memory.

Sinister Magic (Death Before Dragons Book 1)
by Lindsay Buroker
4.5 Stars (8,555 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

FREE for a limited time

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin.

When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently.

This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

That changes when my boss is afflicted with a mysterious disease, a government agent starts investigating me, and a godforsaken dragon shows up in the middle of my latest job.

I’ve taken down vampires, zombies, and ogres, but dragons are way, way more powerful. And it doesn’t look like this one is going to like me.

Worse than that, he wants to use his magic to compel me to do his bidding, as if I’m some weak-minded minion.

That’s not going to happen. I’d die before being some dragon’s slave.

But if I can’t figure out a way to avoid him, save my boss, and get rid of the government spook, I’m screwed. Or dead. Or screwed and dead. And that’s never comfortable.

Red Heir (Adventures in Aguillon Book 1)

4.5 Stars (1,313 Reviews)
Genre: Humor & Entertainment

FREE for a limited time

Imprisoned pickpocket Loth isn’t sure why a bunch of idiots just broke into his cell claiming they’re here to rescue the lost prince of Aguillon, and he doesn’t really care. They’re looking for a redheaded prince, and he’s more than happy to play along if it means freedom. Then his cranky cellmate Grub complicates things by claiming to be the prince as well.

Now they’re fleeing across the country and Loth’s stuck sharing a horse and a bedroll with Grub while imitating royalty, eating eel porridge, and dodging swamp monsters and bandits.

Along the way, Loth discovers that there’s more to Grub than meets the eye. Under the dirt and bad attitude, Grub’s not completely awful. He might even be attractive. In fact, Loth has a terrible suspicion that he’s developing feelings, and he’s not sure what to do about that. He’d probably have more luck figuring it out if people would just stop trying to kill them.

Still, at least they’ve got a dragon, right?
