Endurance

A stunning memoir from the astronaut who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station—a candid account of his remarkable voyage, of the journeys off the planet that preceded it, and of his colorful formative years.The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly inimical to human life. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the pressures of constant close cohabitation; the catastrophic risks of depressurization or colliding with space junk, and the still more haunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home—an agonizing situation Kelly faced when, on another mission, his twin brother's wife, Gabrielle Giffords, was...

Disavowed

NYPD Detective Dom Carew can’t forget the violent way his lover was killed in Afghanistan fifteen years ago. The pain and trauma of her death still haunt him, and since then he hasn’t let a woman under his skin. Until one incredible, hot and steamy night with stunning and sassy Daisy Fowler. Sexy, gorgeous, and hunky doesn’t begin to describe Dom Carew, but Daisy’s been burned by Dom before. A year ago, he bolted from her bed in the middle of the night without so much as a gee you were great in the sack, babe. Never laying eyes on his handsome face again is the plan. If only their paths didn’t keep crossing. If only she didn’t still find him irresistible as sin. Seeing Daisy again sets Dom’s blood on fire, but he’s about to embark on the most dangerous undercover op of his life—infiltrate the Pyramid, an international organization of assassins. Love has no place in his heart or his world, but when the dangers of his job threaten Daisy, he’ll destroy anyone in his path to protect her. Each book in the NYPD Blue & Gold series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order. Series Order: Book #1: Burnout Book #2: Blood Money Book #3: Disavowed **Review "I loved this book, I fell in love with Dom right from page one!" -Heather A., Goodreads "Holy smokes what a good hot romance!" -Lori B., Goodreads "Hi, my name is Jen and I'm a hot-guy-romantic-suspense addict. I would definitely recommend the series for those who haven't read it previously, because Tee's law enforcement background brings a realism that a lot of other books don't have." -I Need To Read "An action packed romantic suspense that is part if a series, but easily read as a stand alone.  Lots of danger and emotion.  A story that pulls you in from the first page.  I thoroughly enjoyed every page!" -Petula W., Goodreads "DISAVOWED is a great romantic suspense story, and if you like hella-hot guys in and out of uniform, you will enjoy this story." -Victoria B., NetGalley "I loved this book, with intriguing characters, that are well described and have a chemistry that scorches off the pages!" -Charly M., NetGalley "It's romantic suspense at its finest, a sexy, edge-of-your-seat series of books that keep you guessing, swooning, angering and falling in love." -Beth C., Goodreads "OMGoodness!!! I absolutely loved this book! Don had me hooked from the beginning & I loved Daisy. Their chemistry would melt the pages!" -Shannon G., NetGalley "I love reading her books... You will not be disappointed."  -Jshoptoyoudrop "Tee O'Fallon has ended the NYPD series on a high note!... This book is filled with love, sadness, tears and a whole lot of angst."  -Romance Readers Retreats   From the Author To my friends and fans, I hope you enjoy reading Disavowed as much as I loved writing it! This is the final book of my NYPD Blue & Gold romantic suspense series. These are the first books I've ever had published, and it has been an exciting journey, one that I truly hope you'll enjoy with me.  Book 1 of the series, Burnout, began with Cassie Yates-a burned out undercover detective in need of a major life change, and Mike-the sexy-as-sin police chief bearing emotional scars too deep to hide. The sequel, Blood Money, follows Cassie's hunky detective-brother, Gray Yates, a man struggling to put the sins of his past behind him and protect the woman he loves at all costs.      In Disavowed, Gray's partner, Dom Carew, will destroy anyone who threatens the woman he was meant to be with. Each book in my series can be read as a stand alone, although it will give you a better grasp of the characters if you start with Burnout. Enjoy!
