An unforgettable epic romantic thriller about a girl from the future who might be able to save the world . . . if she lets go of the one thing she’s found to hold on to.
Follow the rules. Remember what happened. Never fall in love.
This is the story of seventeen-year-old Prenna James, who immigrated to New York when she was twelve. Except Prenna didn’t come from a different country. She came from a different time—a future where a mosquito-borne illness has mutated into a pandemic, killing millions and leaving the world in ruins.
Prenna and the others who escaped to the present day must follow a strict set of rules: never reveal where they’re from, never interfere with history, and never, ever be intimate with anyone outside their community. Prenna does as she’s told, believing she can help prevent the plague that will one day ravage the earth.
But everything changes when Prenna falls for Ethan Jarves.

Two adventures based on episodes from The Saint with Roger Moore: In the first, Simon Templar is gassed by a toy soldier, shot with an arrow, mowed down with a sub-machine gun, and blown up by a plastic bomb hidden in a light fixture. The Saint has become an unwilling participant in “The Death Game.” In the second tale, having discovered who was behind The Death Game, the Saint discovers a blackmailer of evil distinction who just won’t give up. **About the AuthorLeslie Charteris was born in Singapore on May 12th, 1907. With his mother and brother, he moved to England in 1919 and attended Rossall School in Lancashire before moving on to Cambridge University to study law.

From USA Today Bestselling author Katerina Martinez
A beautiful stranger. Suspicious deaths. Magick unimaginable.
I'm not a bounty hunter, I'm not a mercenary, I'm not anyone - I'm just a loner, a weirdo, a freak. But my life is about to get turned upside down, and I have no idea what's coming.
It all starts with Damien Colt. Where I live, everyone knows everyone else, so when someone new enters the picture, it's difficult to miss them. I should have known he was bad news, should have smelled the specter of death clinging to him like a terrible shadow, but I didn't. Instead, I let him get close. Too close. Now I'm mixed up in business I had no right to get mixed up in, and I'm about to learn a truth about myself I'm not ready to hear. Magick is real, but it comes at a price; one I'm not ready to pay.
For most Wiccans, real magick is a dream come true. For me, this is the beginning of a nightmare.
Inspired by fantastic authors such as Karen Marie Moning, Richelle Mead, and Shannon Mayer, True Witch is the first book in Katerina’s remastered Amber Lee series of urban fantasy novels. Like deep mysteries, magick so real you could almost touch it, and plenty of romantic twists and turns? This is the book for you! Note that this book was once called Midnight Magick, and was the first book Katerina Martinez ever wrote and published. It has been remastered and re-branded in order to bring it up to speed, but it is the same book; the story has only changed in minor ways. Do not buy this book if you have already bought and read Midnight Magick.
