Heck Ya I Am!!!

MATTHEW AND WILMA Mason, a married couple from San Francisco on a driving tour of southwest national parks, are found shot to death in the remote and rugged backcountry of southeast Utah. A revolver clutched in Matthew’s hand suggests a murder-suicide, but Deputy Sheriff Manny Rivera thinks otherwise. In his mind, there are too many unanswered questions. Why had the Masons, at age 68, detoured from the planned vacation route shown on their map? Why had they left the comfort of paved roads for rough, gravel back roads that led to nowhere in particular? Why had they driven to the place where they were found, next to an abandoned grass airstrip? And most peculiar of all, why were they dressed like hippies from the 1960s?

Why did I think it was a good idea to ask my hot, grumpy boss to fake date?

Maybe because I’m clumsier with social interactions than I am with staying upright? Maybe because my parents will disown me if they see the pictures paparazzi took after I fell on him then learn we aren’t in a “committed relationship”?

Whatever the reason, he wasn’t supposed to agree so easily or be so… cordial.

Levi Danner, Billionaire CEO of Leopard Co., has a reputation for being disagreeable, nitpicky, and coarse. He does not have a reputation for buying poor college students lunch or taking them on bookstore dates.

I’m struggling to find the line between professional and personal — on top of navigating my parents’ overbearing concerns.

So when an unexpected turn of events requires us to share a bed — and maybe a few cuddles — that line might vanish completely.

After the events of that bloody night twist their fates together, each of the four seek their own path through the hardships of feudal life. Elizabeth’s leads her to the workshop of a kindly carpenter, Kaylein’s to a convent, Isaac’s to the open road, and Edward’s to an ambitious quest of advancement through the nobility. But how long can their peace last when each has demons that threaten to drag the others down along with them?

Set in a fictional medieval kingdom, The Book of Roses tells the story of four young people searching for safety, love, and belonging in a world rife with injustice. Can a good heart still flourish in an age of darkness?

Magick turns men into gods. Men were not born to be gods.

Krael was no ordinary barbarian. Born in the savage north, his people were more animal than human. His fangs and terrifying stature always kept him from fitting in with civilized humanity. To most, Krael was just a monster. But a select few knew him for his true talents. Those select few called him the Wizard Slayer.

When rumors of a rogue sorcerer reach the king of Saidal’s ears, he enlists Krael to bring him to justice. But Krael is no mere bounty hunter. The Wizard Slayer’s crusade against magic is a personal one. Though the king wished to keep the sorcerer alive, Krael has more fatal plans in store…

Battling those who use magic is never easy. It is even more difficult when corrupt nobility seeks to coerce you. Yet Krael will not bend the knee. By blood and steel, he will continue to fight for what he believes in, no matter the cost.
