The Price of Traveling Light

by S. E. Morris

Rae Stevens is a woman on the run. So desperate to escape the compound where she was raised that she walked thirty miles through the Texas countryside to Odessa before fleeing south to San Antonio, she has settled into a quiet life in a tiny apartment, careful to keep her identity and background secret. A chance meeting with her new neighbor leads to the belief she might just deserve more… Ward Schramm has strict rules when it comes to women. No women his buddies or brother might be interested in.

Something about the mechanic has him wanting more than he ever has before… Eddie Cooper took his father’s religious cult and built it into a drug trafficking stronghold. Rae can bring it all down. He’s already reclaimed her once. If he can’t bring her back to the Panhandle alive, he’s more than willing to make sure she can’t testify. The danger brings Ward and Rae together. Can they make it long enough for love to bloom? [Read More]

The Fractured Wing

by Zenna Lake

This is Book 2 of The Shackled Oath series. She survived captivity. But survival was never the same thing as healing. Azaria Sylvenhart was freed from captivity. What they could not free was her mind. Broken by what was done to her and driven by something darker than grief, Azaria descends into a war of her own making—one her squad watches helplessly, caught between reaching for her and fearing she may no longer want to be reached. Dain fights to hold her together. And Quinton Thornvale, the blood mage who would burn kingdoms to keep her alive, is learning that saving Azaria’s life and reaching her are not the same thing—and that whatever is growing between them was never going to survive unscarred. But darkness does not wait for her to heal. Hunted by the same forces that have tried to destroy her from the beginning, Azaria is forced to confront what she is willing to become in order to survive. And the arrival of a stranger from across the continent—one bound to her by something neither of them understands—threatens to unravel everything further.
