Aliens abducted Payton on her way home. She was still having a hard time believing it, but it was true. She was nothing but experimental fodder for a race she couldn’t communicate with. When she got a chance to run, she did. Now she was being rescued but denied the right to go home. If that wasn’t enough, the experiments they did on her were coming out. She was angry, and every cut and bruise stroked that anger—someone needed to pay.
Cassic and Malic were on a ship that rescued them from floating around space in a cryo-pod forever. They were helping and looking for a place to call home that would keep them away from their former government, the ones that put a price on their heads. They never intended to meet Payton.
All three of them were running. The aliens that abducted Payton wanted her back. The government that wanted Cassic dead was coming after them. They didn’t expect to survive until they realized that there was a pull between the three of them. If they want a chance at a future, they’ll have to learn to act as one as they protect themselves and each other from the threats coming their way. What a way to fall in love.
Look for strange birds with secrets—a goddess who does more than she says and, of course, love the triad way.

A brilliant and bitingly funny collection of stories united around a single, crumbling apartment building in Ukraine that heralds the arrival of a major new talent ("Reva is a miracle writer...You've never read anything like [these stories]."—Elizabeth McCracken, author of Bowlaway)A bureaucratic glitch omits an entire building, along with its residents, from municipal records.

In "Bone Music," an agoraphobic recluse survives by selling contraband LPs, mapping the vinyl grooves of illegal Western records into stolen x-ray film. A delusional secret service agent in "Letter of Apology" becomes convinced he's... Views: 529

Families. Ugh. Well, not entirely. But just at this moment, Eva Malloy's family is being terrorized by an orange-haired bridezilla of a mother-in-law with gaudy taste in haute couture. But when their dress designer learns she's on the receiving end of an FBI investigation, Eva has to step in—to protect the young entrepreneur's reputation if not her own dignity when she walks down the aisle as matron of honor. It's a tangled web, and the young woman is almost petrified with fear and confusion and dubious family connections of her own. Eva's husband, Detective Vaughn Malloy, will jump into the fray, because that's the kind of man he is. As will the majority of the invited wedding guests, because they're from the same mold too and don't take injustice lightly. But it's a big task, all while Eva and Willow also need to pull off the gastronome's wedding reception of the decade. The one that's being written... Views: 529
