In A Different Time

The bookshop comes with a cat. The cottage comes with a ghost. The village comes with a body in the garden.
Cleo Marchmont travelled to her great-aunt’s Sussex cottage for a funeral.

She did not expect the cat.
She did not expect the ghost.
She really did not expect the dead woman at the bottom of the garden steps.

When Cleo arrives in Firlestone for a quiet week of cottage-clearing, she gets an opinionated tabby called Boswell who is choosing her against her better judgement, and a Great-Aunt Vivienne who has been waiting eighteen months for someone to talk to.

Then the village’s most disliked resident is found dead at the foot of her own garden steps.
The constable is content to call it a tragic fall.
Vivienne, with one raised eyebrow, is not.

A scone still warm on the counter. A kettle on a low heat. A bone-coloured hairpin in the gravel.

Cleo has four days to catch a killer, pack the cottage, and post the keys back to the solicitor. Someone in this village has already noticed she is asking too many questions.

And in her bag are the keys to a struggling Bloomsbury bookshop she has not yet seen.

For fans of Rangers Apprentice and epic fantasy adventure comes the first book in an unforgettable series.

Galieb N’ethilion never expected his first mission as a sworn ranger to determine the fate of a kingdom.

Growing up at the hidden Qoholet Abbey, the young half-elfin trained in archery, tracking, swordplay, and wilderness survival. But when brutal eshkin raiders pour out of the Towering Peaks in numbers never seen before, theoretical knowledge meets harsh reality. Villages burn across the borderlands of Wynchell. Farmers die defending their homes. And something far more sinister lurks among the dead sheep and smoldering farms.

Hired to scout the raids and report back, Galieb quickly finds himself fighting for his life. He faces:
Savage eshkin warriors wielding crude weapons and serving dark gods
A shapeshifting beast hunting among the villagers
Treacherous assassins waiting for their prey
Battles against impossible odds alongside knights, dwarfin, and elfin allies
Ancient prophecies that warn of darker days ahead

As arrows fly and swords clash in the burning canyons, Galieb discovers that being a ranger means more than skill with a bow. It means standing between innocence and evil. It means making impossible choices. It means discovering a greater purpose beyond himself.
With a reforged sword at his hip and courage born of desperation, the untested ranger must rise to meet the fiery challenges that will either forge him into a legend or destroy him completely.

If a hunky baseball star offered to give you anything you desired, what would you ask for?
Jenny

Mom told me I should accept my boyfriend’s proposal and settle down, raise a family, have a good life.
She didn’t say anything about him cheating on me the night before our wedding–with my best friend!
Now, I’m a runaway bride with no job, no apartment, only this beat-up old Mini Cooper.
And because I’m such a good mama’s girl, I still have my v-card!
I’m instantly attracted to the hunky baseball star who saves my life–from a bear named Howard!
He’s my ultimate male fantasy, a literal dream come true–the baseball star, not the bear! Lol.
But I barely know him. (Still talking about baseball guy!)
How can I trust him after I’ve already been let down by my former fiance?
Yet the more I get to know him, the more I start to feel as if we’re forever lovers, connected by an invisible string.
Now, I need to decide whether to trust this feeling–or cut the string.

Brick

I’m still grieving over the loss of the love of my life.
Between my pro baseball career, my dark childhood, and caring for her, I never had time for relationships.
But when I meet Jenny, stunningly beautiful and crying in a wedding trousseau being pursued by a bear, I feel an overwhelming desire to be with her.
I’m determined to prove to her that she deserves happiness.
I spend the week pleasing her in every way possible and having the time of my life.
Making her happy makes me happy. The more time we spend together, the more I become convinced she just might be my forever love.
But I know it can’t last beyond this week. Or can it?

The case uncovers ties to the infamous “Red Barn Killings” and dark secrets powerful people will kill to protect.

DESERT HIGHWAY
A sniper is killing travelers on an isolated Texas highway, striking without warning and disappearing into the desert. As Ruth and Aaron dig deeper, they uncover ties to a powerful family’s dark secrets, but the sniper grows bolder — targeting those who get too close, including Ruth herself. On this highway, justice comes at a high cost — and not everyone will make it out alive.
