Two brothers, fired up with motorbikes, beer, women and the reckless relish of a summer night. A night which ends with the death of a policeman. As vehicles blaze Dave gives himself up so that Jamie can escape. Dave’s life spirals downwards. He disappears down south, while Jamie goes on to complete his law degree. A decade later he becomes first Prime Minister of a newly independent Scotland. Political horsetrading leads to a referendum on capital punishment. The public is shocked by a brutal sexual murder the night before the vote, and to the politicians’ horror the death penalty is reintroduced. The killer has been caught red-handed, and the hours tick by as the legal process draws closer to the time of his execution. But when the Prime Minister receives a plea for clemency he discovers that he and the killer are linked by unbreakable bonds from that summer of heedless abandon - and more than one life may be at stake….

Stupendous piece of storytelling - brilliant writing.
Massive creative energy.

From Incarcerated to In Love, de Archimedes1113

Bridger was on his way to work at the game store he worked at to pay for his college tuition when a sack was thrown over his head and he was knocked over the head by something hard. When he finally comes to, he finds he's locked in a room of some sort with his hands tied behind his back, and the same sack covering his head, leaving him blind to his surroundings. He has no recollection of how he came to be where he is, or who would even want to kidnap him...that is until the person in question walks through the door of the room in which he is being held captive and reveals himself. When he sees who it is, he is left speechless and even more confused than he was at first. Who is his captor? Does he know them? And most importantly: Why was he subject to their kidnapping? Find out in From Incarcerated to In Love! *Any and all pictures found within are not my own, and I give credit to each and every author of the respective images.*

All Revved Up, de FourMoreChapters

🔴 This book deals with themes of panic attacks, nightmares, death, and self-harm. 🔴 KIARA Race cars and adrenaline used to be all I cared about. My life was racing, until it wasn't. After watching my father's car blow up, my life flipped upside down. I now have three siblings and a sick mom who depends on me. Two jobs and a house to stay on top of. I have a family to take care of, which is why when my new neighbours start snooping around and asking questions, I will do anything to protect my loved ones, even if it means lying for the rest of my life. KITT Having grown up with the reputation of "thrill seeker", no one was really surprised when I came out of college as a police officer. Accepting an undercover job investigating an illegal street racing gig was a no-brainer for me. I've always loved adventure, and this seems like just the thing to change up my day. I will uncover the person behind the street racing, and I will resist the charms of my new neighbour, no matter how gorgeous or tempting she may be. She's a suspect, not a prospect, but my mind is having trouble finding the difference...

35 Days (Violent Delights Book 10), de kullman

35 days. A siege nearly ten years in the making. 300 French defenders attempt to hold off nearly 10,000 English assailants from the vital port town of Harfluer. As casualties from disease mount on both sides, the French can only pray for relief. Relief that will never come. Based on true events. The town of Harfluer courageously held out against England's greatest warrior king, Henry V, for over a month. This is their story. Trigger/Content Warning: this is a war story so there is extreme violence throughout. Very traumatic deaths of major characters (Day 28-30). A character has a panic attack on page. There is an extended sequence that can inspire claustrophobia (Day 5). Could be triggering to those with a fear of drowning (Day 5). Profanity throughout out. Rape is discussed (primarily preventing it, nothing shown). Brief minor sexuality, characters kiss briefly, and are shown in bed together, nothing more. Alcohol use throughout

Bryan Brent(The U-Turn), de MystiquCal

Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]

I heard him whisper right before I passed out.
