In The Shadow of Love

Here’s the set-up:

Maggie Faraday’s life is tough enough as it is–the single mom is raising grade-school twin boys on her own, dueling with an ex-husband, and trying to build her career as a forensic linguist. The lovely but gutsy Maggie has learned to depend on herself and bury her loneliness. The last thing she needs is to find that her dear friend, and wealthy client, has taken his own life. What’s worse, Maggie knows in her heart that this is no suicide–the documents she was asked to analyze all point to a criminal scheme, but not to the criminal himself.

A call to the Chicago police leads to a meeting with the broad shouldered but skeptical Detective A.J. Morris, and Maggie is immediately attracted to the tall, virile, and ruggedly handsome detective. But Morris has locked his own emotions away behind a “by-the-book” facade, especially after the death of his partner. While he is drawn to Maggie, he at first doubts her story. But regulations are regulations and Maggie seems to touch something long dormant in him, so despite interference from an obnoxious fellow detective, Morris does his legwork and discovers that there’s more to the case than the press and the brass want to admit.

The two soon join forces to solve a crime that puts them both in danger from an unknown enemy and their own emotions. As they race against time and an undeniable attraction to each other, the case heats up and so does their passion. With their lives threatened they can’t escape themselves or each other and soon give into the desire that they’ve both tried to deny. While their heads say play it safe and keep away, the hearts of these two determined, lonely people tell them to take a chance on each other. A night of passion unites them in ways that neither has experienced before but a heinous crime and their own secrets threaten their newly found happiness. Can Maggie and Morris solve the crime before their own emotions tear them apart and a murderer hunts them both down?

Blood from a Shadow

Here’s the set-up:

10% OF ALL BOOK PROFITS ARE DONATED TO THE SIXTY-NINTH REGIMENT HISTORICAL TRUST

November 2012.

24/7 Presidential election focus, but when Security outranks Democracy, fact may be stranger than fiction.

The Middle East is still untamed and Iran teases the nuclear button. Time to finish the game, they say, it is now or never.
Good Americans would be grateful, but they won’t ever need to know. And the Administration would be grateful, but they really don’t want to know, there is an election to be won.

FROM THE BACK COVER:

2012. War weary Americans hail the endgame in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But the old enemy, Iran, is more dangerous than ever.
So the war on terror continues, but it must be kept in the shadows now. The Presidential machines cannot allow a mistake, there is an election to be won.

Con Maknazpy is weary too, still searching for his own peace. A hero in his native New York’s famous 69th Regiment, he just wants to retreat into the shadows of the streets he knows so well.

But Maknazpy is no ordinary man, he has been anointed with destiny. It’s in his blood and in the shadows of his soul. And the ghosts of the past and the future mark out that destiny, in blood. Blood that takes him to Ireland, Rome and Istanbul before he finds his own truth in the shadows of his Yonkers childhood.
Maknazpy’s destiny is to be a savior, but can he save himself?

***

It’s the old story. Deadly enemies, cultures so alien that neither can tolerate the other’s very existence. The essence of ancient myth and legends, from the epic Shahnameh of Iran in the east, to the Táin of the Irish in the west. We have always created such righteous truths to validate our own worlds, so that our way is virtuous, theirs is immoral.

Maknazpy knows about the War on Terror. Nuclear Iran. Homeland Security.
If he survives long enough, Maknazpy can finally decide which truth, which world, is real.

Think Jim Thompson, James M Cain, Chester Himes and Eric Ambler. Reality is warped by confusion and lies, and the hero is always the last to know.

Ginger Simpson Special Edition

Here’s the set-up:

Books We Love presents a Ginger Simpson Special Edition containing three complete novels.

Time Tantrums

Mariah Cassidy awakens in the twentieth century. Confined in a pristine environment, hooked to tubes and beeping machines, she’s scared, confused and wondering why everyone keeps calling her Mrs. Morgan. Who is the strange man who keeps massaging her forehead and telling her everything is going to be all right?

Taylor Morgan tries to focus on her surroundings through a blinding headache. The patchwork quilt, the water basin, and the archaic room don’t strike a familiar chord. Her mouth gapes when a handsome man waltzes into the room, calls her darling, and expresses his delight that she’s on the road to recovery.

Clearly something is amiss.

First Degree Innocence

A terrible mistake has been made, and her insistence of innocence falls on deaf ears. Even her fellow inmates don’t believe her as it’s a claim they all make. Alone in the world, she has no one to turn to for help, and not a single soul to campaign for her freedom…at least until she makes a valuable friend. In the meantime, a plan for retribution is brewing, and naïve Carrie finds herself smack dab in the middle of an evil scheme concocted by the prison bully. A ten year sentence seems mild when she’s threatened with death for refusing to participate. Can Carrie find a way out of this horrible nightmare, or is she destined to spend her days locked in terror, isolation, and the cold gray interior of prison walls?

Embezzled Love

Seems everywhere she looks lonely divorcee, Cassie Fremont, sees advertisements claiming to help find her true love…the man of her dreams. With visions of a fairy tale romance, she follows the link in a SPAM message and joins an online dating service. Imagine her surprise when ‘he’ responds to her profile with toe-tingling interest. Will the Texas heartthrob be the answer to her prayers, or is she about to book a ride on the roller coaster from hell?
