Book Description
Vitala Salonius, champion of the warlike game of Caturanga, is as deadly as she is beautiful. She’s a trained assassin for the resistance, and her true play is for ultimate power. Using her charm and wit, she plans to seduce her way into the emperor’s bed and deal him one final, fatal blow, sparking a battle of succession that could change the face of the empire. As the ruler of a country on the brink of war and the son of a deposed emperor, Lucien must constantly be wary of an attempt on his life. But he’s drawn to the stunning Caturanga player visiting the palace. Vitala may be able to distract him from his woes for a while—and fulfill other needs, as well. Lucien’s quick mind and considerable skills awaken unexpected desires in Vitala, weakening her resolve to finish her mission. An assassin cannot fall for her prey, but Vitala’s gut is telling her to protect this sexy, sensitive man. Now she must decide where her heart and loyalties lie and navigate the dangerous war of politics before her gambit causes her to lose both Lucien and her heart for good.…

Book Description
IN BOOK 23 OF THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIES: Donna and Jack Craig are on an around-the-world mission to retrieve nine digital directories listing names of intelligence operatives—one belonging to the United States, the other eight belonging to its allies and enemies—as they are sold by the highest bidder by an anonymous terrorist. At the same time, Jack thinks he has reasons to question Donna's love for him. Will saving their country cost the Craigs their marriage? PRAISE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN NOVELS: "Brown's unorthodox surprises did make me laugh. I taught it in a class about comic novels." —Jane Smiley "This book hits all the right notes...I now want a week at the beach to read them all...I'm completely smitten." -- Barbara Vey READERS LOVE THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIES TOO: "Brown's writing is vivid, concise and humorous. At the same time, she manages to convey the seriousness of the situations that the Craigs and Acme find themselves in. I hated all the right characters, believed every bit of the situations presented and most of all, loved Donna and her family." "Love the details that Josie adds to her series. I learn so much and often come away feeling as if I was right there immersed into the plots and deeds. Love my Josie Brown domestic thriller novels. Five stars and love." "Another amazing suspense that kept me glued to the book. For the twentieth time with this series, I was unable to put the romantic comedies book down from the moment I opened it. I absolutely love Jack and Donna and their adventures and brushes with death." "Oh, my heartstrings...Josie Brown took them up to dizzying heights, twisted them into various shapes, then threw them on such a roller coaster ride that I think I may have whiplash. The characters were there to love, the locales vivid and exciting, it almost seemed like a vacation- notwithstanding the murder and espionage. Thank you for another exciting Kindle thrillers read." "Can't wait for the next one (already). Love all of Josie Brown's funny mysteries books! I normally read these in a day or two—can’t put them down." "Brilliant! Josie has excelled herself with this romantic comedy book! A gripping, exciting read as always, but with an additional twist. Couldn't put it down!"

Book Description
When a terrorist attack rocks Starfleet Academy, it’s clear someone has a very serious—and very deadly—secret agenda. The rules are simple: Draw a target. Track him down and “kill” him with a spork. Take your victim’s target for your own. Oh, and make sure the player with your name doesn’t get to you first. No safe zones. No time-outs. The game ends when only one player remains. James T. Kirk is playing for fun. Leonard “Bones” McCoy is playing to get closer to a girl. But when a series of terrorist attacks rock the usually placid Starfleet Academy campus, it becomes clear that somebody is playing the game for real. Is it one of the visiting Varkolak, on Earth to attend an intergalactic medical conference? Or could it be a member of a super-secret society at the Academy dedicated to taking care of threats to the Federation, no matter what rules they have to break to do it? Find out in The Assassination Game, the fourth installment in Spotlight’s exciting series for teens.

Book Description
Spring, 1897. London. Margaret Harkness, now in her early forties, must leave England for her health but lacks the funds. A letter arrives from her old friend Professor Bell, her old comrade in the hunt for Jack the Ripper and the real-life inspiration for Sherlock Homes. Bell invites her to join him in Germany on a mysterious mission for the German government involving the loss of state secrets to Anarchists. The resolution of this commission leads to her being stalked through the streets of London by a vengeful man armed with a powerful and nearly silent air rifle who has both Margaret and Queen Victoria in his sights. Margaret finds allies in Inspector James Ethington of Scotland Yard and his fifteen-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, who aspires to follow in Margaret's cross-dressing footsteps. The hunt is on, but who is the hunter, and who the hunted as the day approaches for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee when the aged empress will sit in her open carriage at the steps of St Paul's Cathedral? The entire British Empire holds its breath as the assassin, Margaret, and the Queen herself play for the highest of stakes with the Queen's Gambit.
