As heir to a title and great wealth, Will Masterson should have stayed home and tended his
responsibilities. Instead he went to war. Now, after perilous years fighting the French, he
intends his current mission to be his last. But all his plans are forgotten when he arrives in the
small mountain stronghold of San Gabriel and meets her.
Knowing herself to be too tall, strong, and unconventional to appeal to a man, Athena
Markham has always gloried in her independence. But for the first time in her life, she finds a
man who might be her match.
Two of a kind, too brave for their own good, Athena and Will vow to do whatever it takes to
vanquish San Gabriels enemies. For neither will back down from death, and only together
can they find happiness and a love deeper than any theyd dared imagine

It begins with a shocking act of vengeance. Barista Ethan Falk chases a customer into the
parking lot and kills him. He tells police that years ago the older man abducted and tortured
him. Then Ethans story takes an even stranger turn: he says he was rescued by a guy named
Scorpion. Of course, there is no record of either the kidnapping or the rescue, because
ScorpionJonathan Graveoperates outside the law and leaves no evidence.
As Grave struggles to find a way to defend his former precious cargo without blowing his
cover, he learns the dead man has secrets that trace to an ongoing terrorist plot against the
heart of America. Its up to Grave and his team to stop it. But first they must rescue Ethan
Falka second time.

What happens to the children that the world throws away? Tayshawn Torres is a child born
in the slums and cursed by the sins of his parents. His mother is a notorious drug addict
and whore, more concerned with getting her next high than she is with his well-being. His
stepfather hates him so much that he literally treats him like an animal. Tayshawn is forced
to sleep in a cage and scavenge for scraps of food wherever he can find them. Because of
his squalid appearance, he is also the object of ridicule by all of the neighborhood kids who
have given him the nickname Animal.
The only person to ever show him the slightest bit of kindness is his older brother, Justice.
Justice keeps him out of harms way the best he can; however, when Justice is taken from his
life, Tayshawn finds he is alone in the streets. With his guardian angel gone, he is now at the
mercy of the world Justice tried to protect him from.
Tayshawn quickly learns that if he is to survive the jungle, he will have to adapt. Love and
companionship constantly elude Tayshawn, but death and heartache cling to him like a
second skin. Gradually, the layers of the frightened child he had been are stripped away until
there is nothing left of Tayshawn, and all that remains is Animal.
