Pack Dynamics

After seven horrific months as a POW, Army Ranger-turned-PI Ben Lockwood just wants a safe, boring life. With his boss on vacation, he takes what looks like an easy case of pharmaceutical espionage he can work from his desk. Now he's caught in a three-way collision course between a ruthless werewolf on the hunt for a cure for his dying vampire wife, a mad scientist whose multinational company doesn't even research supernatural medicine--and himself. Ben's nanotech-injected blood holds the key to the vampire's recovery, and the werewolf doesn't much care if he lives or dies in the harvesting. Ben thought he was done fighting wars when he got home from Afghanistan, but his hard-won sanity and his girlfriend's life are both at risk. He'd rather die than lose either. The battle lines are drawn in a billionaire's basement, and retreat isn't an option. No matter how outgunned he is.**

Elodie and Ross dive head first into Happily Ever After, but find their future threatened by a vicious blast from the past.

Committed

Committed: Book 3 in the Agent Rawlings Series of FBI Thrillers A wanted serial killer and his girlfriend are on a bloody killing spree across the United States. Agents Hank Rawlings and Beth Harper, along with the rest of their team, are on a nationwide manhunt to bring them to justice. Scene after scene and body after body only add to the media coverage. The wanted couple’s faces are splashed across every television and cover the front pages of every newspaper, yet Hank’s team remains a step behind—leaving them searching through the wreckage and bodies left in the couple’s wake. As the pair takes a turn for the border, Hank must pull out all the stops to capture the murderous lovers before they take more lives, cross the border, and slip through the FBI’s grasp. The hunt is on. Agent Hank Rawlings Series Categories: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense > Thrillers & Suspense > Crime > Murder Mystery, Thriller & Suspense > Thrillers & Suspense > Suspense Mystery, Thriller & Suspense > Thrillers Mystery, Thriller, Suspense > Mystery > Police Procedurals > Police officers **About the Author E.H. Reinhard was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He’s worked in sales in one form or another for the better part of eighteen years. Previous nine-to-fives include retail management, the auto industry, operating a small business, and running an assortment of entertainment websites that generated tens of millions of page views per month. Reinhard currently has one completed thriller series, the Lieutenant Kane Series, which follows the life on and off duty of a fictional Tampa homicide lieutenant—though if the stories were reality, I think anyone who worked law enforcement and encountered what Kane did would be turning in their resignation. Throughout the story arc of the six-book series, you see Lieutenant Kane go toe-to-toe with some of the most twisted, homicidal, and downright ruthless adversaries imaginable, all while doing his best to juggle his often-turbulent personal life. Reinhard’s current work in progress is the Hank Rawlings Series. Hank is pulled from the Lieutenant Kane Series and dropped in a new city and new position—agent in the FBI’s serial crimes homicide division. Hank’s new job description is simple: track down serial killers nationwide and bring them to justice. Hank’s work will find in unfamiliar locations and put him face to face with the most dangerous and demented people to ever walk the earth. Reinhard now resides in sunny Tampa, Florida. When not putting pen to paper, or keys to keyboard, writing thrillers, he is an avid fisherman. So naturally, moving to the fishing capital of the world was a good fit. If you’re looking for him, he can usually be found on a boat, canoe, or casting from shore.
