Inspired by the success of two of her friends in turning around their marriages to overbearing husbands, Corinne Beswick looks back on the events that changed the life of both herself and her own overbearing partner, Robin. Life had not always been so good. So, Corinne Beswick mused, as she relaxed on the sofa lapped in indolence; her every reasonable and achievable desire catered to by the handsome older man on the carpet before her. A handsome man whose attention was concentrated on the slender foot resting in his lap, its unblemished and smooth whiteness standing out starkly against the navy apron she insisted he wear when performing his chores. His eyes seldom rising above calf level as he squatted on his haunches and prepared to provide her with the kind of meticulous pedicure she insisted upon and he had been trained to deliver…
Brother Prodigal, Book One of the Fifteen, introduces The Fifteen, named so by its people, the Dan, because it was divided at the time of the Two Covenants by the Myelara, beings of power and patrons of the Dan. It is the Myelara who discover a grave prophecy that hints at evil on the horizon, but have no idea what it means until they, who thought they were immortal, discover they are being hunted when one of them is murdered. Meanwhile, the Famar, the demons of Nithafell, thought to have been banished over two thousand years ago, emerge from the bodies of men and women sacrificed to the Demon Queen by her worshippers, the Prodigals, and stalk The Fifteen again in ever-increasing numbers, threatening the lives of the Dan and The Fifteen itself. Nicodemus MacAndruis, newly knighted Justiciar, and Theisis Whisperain, blind priestess and his childhood friend, discover this threat when they discover a body sacrificed to the Demon Queen, and when Pentegarn, Nicodemus' older brother, comes back into his life after ten years without a word. Pentegarn is now one of the Faer Danor, wielders of magic feared and despised in The Fifteen, because they are often mistaken for those they hunt, the Prodigals. Pentegarn is after the one responsible for sacrificing the body they found, and he draws Nicodemus and Theisis with him to find the enemy, across a landscape crawling with demons. And when they do find him, they find he was distracting them from something far worse.

It was a part of her past she was unable to recall, a part of her past her father refused to discuss. Determined to find answers, Alyssa makes a hasty decision to stop by her parents residence before vacationing with friends resulting in her fleeing to Rockdale Valley. Once confined in the shaken town, she has no choice but to face the nightmare that unfolds in front of her as she quickly begins to piece it with her own restless dreams.
From international bestselling author Mario Escobar comes a story of escape, sacrifice, and hope amid the perils of the Second World War. August 1942. Jacob and Moses Stein, two young Jewish brothers, are staying with their aunt in Paris amid the Nazi occupation. The boys’ parents, well-known German playwrights, have left the brothers in their aunt’s care until they can find safe harbor for their family. But before the Steins can reunite, a great and terrifying roundup occurs. The French gendarmes, under Nazi order, arrest the boys and take them to the Vélodrome d’Hiver—a massive, bleak structure in Paris where thousands of France’s Jews are being forcibly detained.

Tommy and Dani’s battle against the seen and unseen forces rising in East Salem has only just begun, but I’m fully invested in their journey.” —Erin Healy, bestselling author of Motherless and The Baker’s Wife Waking Hours Welcome to East Salem. A deceptively sleepy town where ancient supernatural forces are being awakened. A local high-school girl is found murdered in a park amid horse farms and the wealthy homes of northern Westchester County, New York.

The stakes—and the darkness—are rising. Dani Harris thought there wasn’t much left that could surprise her after serving as a forensic psychiatrist in East Salem.

But as they race to uncover what’s really happening behind the high walls of St. Adrian’s Academy, it becomes clear that supernatural forces have been at work here for generations.

The lone survivor of the attack, a seventeen-year-old Brit, finds sanctuary at Tommy Gunderson’s home—and the place is soon surrounded by demons who seem to be biding their time . . . but for how long? “A gripping plot, intriguing characters, supernatural underpinnings, and a splash of romance make Waking Hours a fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable read. I want the next book in the series now!” —James L. Rubart, bestselling author of The Man He Never Wasand Rooms

Book six in the Inspector Lestrade series. The London Underground Railway, in 1895, was described as ‘dark, deadly and halfway to Hell’. Only too true, for as the last train rattled into Liverpool Street, the one remaining passenger did not get off. How could she, when her eyes stared sightless and her heart had stopped? There was another corpse at the Elephant in the morn-ing, wedged between the seats like an old suitcase. And another had missed the late-night connection at Stockwell. What was left of her lay on the floor of the ‘padded cell’, her shoes kicked off in the lashings of her agony as she died. There is a maniac at large and Inspector Lestrade is detailed to work with the Railway Police, something he needs a little less than vivisection. Heedless of warnings to ‘mind the gap’ and ‘mind the doors’, the doughty detective plunges through a tangled web of vicious deviants to solve a string of murders so heinous that every woman in London goes in fear of her life. Who is the legendary Blackfriars Dan? What are the secrets of the Seven Sisters? Whose body lies at Ealing? Will the London Transport System survive, or will Lestrade run out of steam?
