SHE IS DIFFERENT... Sophia owes her life to none but one man: Marcus Durley. After saving her from hell, he took her to Rock'oles, the most affluent and sophisticated brothel in the Town, where women are given more freedom, a far cry from the brothel slum Marcus rescued her from. But unlike the others, her role is not to service men in bed, instead, she serves them to serve Marcus. She does what Marcus wants for she knows of his secrets and shares his pains. He has always been the only true man in her life. A PLAN... Marcus is part of the illegal slave trade in the Town and Sophia is helping him achieve his true goals with loyalty and trust. The Town Guards, particularly Ralph Everard, has been making things difficult. But Marcus has a plan and Sophia is a willing participant. UNTIL HE CAME ALONG... Nicholas has always been curious about the mysterious woman behind one of the most wanted chambers inside Rock'oles and he is not the only one who tried to get an invite and failed. The woman only allows entry to selected gentlemen, men who make his Town Guard brother, Ralph, raise a brow in suspicion. Nicholas is urged to court an invite into the mysterious woman's chamber with the belief that she is the key to solving the slavery case. And as if by some miracle she welcomes him into her dark, quiet world. He is there to spy on her, but the more he learns of her secrets, the more he discovers things that put his playful, tender, and seductive reputation to its greatest test thus far. Still set in the fictional place of the Town, this sixth book in the Everard Family series follows two people determined to protect those they value most. And in their quest to help those they love to escape failure, they find themselves a victim of their own plans and of the undeniable passion and love that will never ebb even after the certain tragedy of which they are heading to. (This story is a title in the Everard Family series.)

(Chapter 1 only) In the winter of 1941-1942, Leningrad is under siege, and Karen Hamilton, a seventeen-year-old American musician, finds herself trapped and struggling to survive. Throughout the city, people are dying of starvation and frostbite, and Karen knows that if she doesn't escape immediately, she will share their fate. If she has any hope of leaving Russia and reuniting with her fiancé, Bobby, in New York, she must do the impossible: cross enemy lines and then stow away. On her harrowing journey, Karen encounters Petr, a young conscripted Russian soldier. She isn't sure she can trust him-he is equally wary of her. But as the two join forces in order to stay alive, an unexpected romance takes root. Now, as Karen gets closer to the reality of escape, she has a choice to make: Will she return to a safe life in America with Bobby, or remain in war-torn Russia with Petr? This is a sample chapter of the book that will be available October 18 from Lake Union Publishing.

Uma série peculiar de assassinatos fará o melhor detetive da Scotland Yard procurar a ajuda de uma médium. Mas o que fazer quando Madame Viviette, a reconhecida paranormal a quem ele pede ajuda, não é nada do que ele esperava? ------- "Caçadora de Corpos é uma história totalmente diferente do meu tipo favorito, mas me fez ficar acordada até tarde, querendo saber como terminava o capítulo e me deixando apreensiva a cada parágrafo. (...) Dividida em duas partes, CdC tem narrativa em terceira pessoa (adoro) e é escrita perfeitamente, com um bom desenvolvimento do enredo e suspense para tudo quanto é lado. " -- Entrelinhas (http://entrelinhasfic.tumblr.com) "As atualizações são sempre eletrizantes e no final você sempre irá querer mais. A história é super bem escrita e é uma delícia de se ler. Perco meu fôlego e minha sanidade a cada cena restrita do casal principal." -- Lu Indica (http://luindica.tumblr.com) Contém cenas de sexo e violência Grupo da história no Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cacadoradecorpos/

What if you had lived before? For eighteen-year-old Lavinia Gregory every day is like waking up from a dream, the older she gets the more she remembers. She used to be shorter, with long, dark hair- not now, and it is not just the colour of her hair that has changed, it is her entire life. Over the years, the memories of her past life became less vague, less like shadows and colours and more like the thundering horses that always seem to be hammering across her chest. Lavinia had a family, a family she sacrificed everything for and now they're gone and she's here. In a world full of ghostly shadows and unfinished memories. Lavinia must discover, why she came back to this world and how she died in the first place. But most importantly what happened to him, Will, the one she loved above all the rest?
