Book Description
They are young, tough and resourceful, and they have been targeted for assassination by the very agency that made them. They are the CIA work-group known as Acrobat, and they are on the run. - Duncan Idaho, the Langley roadrunner who skirts the line between brilliantly daring and foolishly reckless. - Monika Summers, a ray of all-American sunshine, the utility player who can do it all, and does it exceptionally well. - Tobey Jansen, the nerdy financial genius trapped in the body of a punk-rocking anarchist. - Ljubica Greene, elegant and beautiful, the shopper who can score high caliber firearms or bogus walking papers as easily as shopping at Neiman Marcus. - Russell Orr, the six-foot-four strategic planner who knows how to keep his options open. What did Acrobat see in their time at Langley? What secrets did they uncover? How long will they last on the run? And most important of all, when will they realize that one of their own has betrayed them? From a blazing firefight in the bowels of Times Square, to a whisper campaign in the quiet hallways of Langley; from the political minefield of a White House briefing room, to a nightmarish chase down a lonely country road--Acrobat redefines the espionage thriller.

Book Description
Innocent people are dying. The forces of evil are getting out of line and somebody needs to kick some asses and take some names. That's Alexa's job. Alexa Hernandez is a Knight of the Right Hand. She stands between you and the forces of evil who corrupt your soul and think that you'd make a yummy appetizer. The Sword of Final Banishment is at her side. Angels who won't speak English are watching over her, and her mother is being nosy from thousands of miles away. Alexa's got this, even if demons and darkness take her work personally. She can hunt them, but they'll return the favor. “James Crawford’s quirky wit and imagination mesh remarkably well in this action-packed clash of angelic and demonic forces. James does a wonderful job painting a vivid picture of the epic struggle between good and evil using rhyming prose to hilarious effect, but it is the heart injected into this story that kept me turning pages late at night.” - Mark Reefe, author of The Road to Jericho, El Sendero, and The Valley of Hinnom.

Book Description

Emmie Franklin's the master of a quick escape. She's kept me at arm's length for years, fighting our attraction. When a violent attack leaves her vulnerable, I step up, ready to fight tooth-and-nail to protect my woman. Only Emmie has secrets. And these aren't the type that stay hidden. They're the kind that kill. If you love over the top Aussie alphas, sultry summer nights, and happily ever afters, Rough Edge is the book you're looking for. Trigger warning: This is a darker book than my other series and contains some violence and references to sexual abuse. A happily ever after is still guaranteed, but this is a gritty series so proceeded with caution. Note: This book was previously published under a former pen name. It has been rewritten and updated before release.

Book Description
National Park Ranger, a.k.a., Bleeding Green & Grey tells the stories that cover well beyond just the numerous and sometimes daily heroic deeds that other present park ranger books more than adequately validate. However, these new true-life tales not only embrace such topics as the customary high adventure cases, the sometimes humorous park visitors, and the dealing with the unfortunate death & mayhem; but now include various accounts of handling previously considered taboo matters such as limited budgets, hiring difficulties, increasing outside agency assists, and unfortunately, politics and bureaucracy. Also, something rather different in dealing with the typical stoical federal government, author Greg Moss actually enjoys to not only show the amusement side of dealing with the unusual park visitor actions, but also pokes fun of himself or other park staff. All those emergency life-or-death call-out operations and boring administrative meetings dont go off quite as smoothly as most other books on park rangers currently portray, or even totally ignore. This author uses a lot of dry humor, satire, and sarcasm in his book which makes you laugh out loud, scratch your head, and say, Really? Is that true?

Book Description
In the tradition of Mary Higgins Clark -- a suspense-filled story of a young widowed mother who unwittingly endangers her own life and that of her child as she searches for closure from a painful family loss and the truth behind it. When Maggie Collier learns that her father-in-law's murder may have been the result of his accidentally discovering the whereabouts of a kidnapped child, she takes up the investigation herself. As she explores the seemingly idyllic lives of citizens in the quiet community of Delbrook, Wisconsin, Maggie gradually recognizes a dark and eerie menace lurking beneath the town's picture-perfect façade. And she's clearly not the only one feeling unnerved by the proceedings. Someone else is keenly interested in her search. Soon her own questions about her father-in-law's murder intersect with the investigation by a young lawyer from Chicago who is hunting for his niece's kidnapper. As they join forces, Maggie and Grant probe deeply into the lives of her seemingly respectable friends and neighbors. When everyone, it appears, has a secret to hide, Maggie enters a race against the clock to find the truth before the elusive serial killer and kidnapper can make her the next victim. Crackling with tension and rich characterizations, Bleeding Heart hurtles toward a skillfully realized, cunningly resolved climax.
