LADY ROGUE
The Royal Rewards Series
Theresa Romain
Praised for her witty, adventurous historical romances, fan-favorite bestselling author
Theresa Romain delivers the third in her Royal Rewards series, a delightful combination of
proper Regency characters engaging in perfectly improper behavior as they flaunt the Ton
and commit larceny right beneath the eyes of the law.
As far as Londons high society knows, Lady Isabel Morrow is above reproach. But the truth is rarely so simple. Though the
young widows passionate fling with dashing Bow Street Runner Callum Jenks ended amicably months ago, she now needs
his expertise. It seems Isabels late husband, a respected art dealer, was peddling forgeries. If those misdeeds are revealed,
the marriage prospects of his younger cousinnow Isabels wardwill be ruined.
For the second time, Isabel has upended Callums well-ordered world. Hes resolved to help her secretly replace the forgeries
with the real masterpieces, as afriend. A proper sort of friend doesnt burn with desire, of course, or steal kisses on
twilight errands. Or draw a willing lady into one passionate encounter after another. Isabels scheme is testing Callums heart
as well as his loyalties. But with pleasure so intoxicating, the real crime would be to resist

EVIL EYES
Corey Mitchell
Repackaged and reissued, Evil Eyes delves into the story of Coral Eugene Watts, a man
who might have killed more than Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy
combined, with special attention to his ruthless slaying of three woman, and the two
that got away.
In Houston, Texas, on a Sunday morning in spring, Coral Eugene Watts trapped two young women in their apartment. Only
hours before, hed killed another woman by drowning her in her bathtub. As Watts attempted to do the same to 20-year-old
Lori Lister, her roommate managed a daring escape, leading to Watts arrest.
Watts confessed to thirteen murders, but with no direct evidence, he managed to plea bargain his sentence down to 60
years for burglary. Through the untiring efforts of investigators and the mother of one of his victims, Watts was finally
convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, where he remained the prime suspect in dozens of other slayings.
Experts theorized that Watts may have slain more than Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacycombined!
Bestselling author Corey Mitchell takes us inside the twisted mind of The Sunday Morning Slasher and tells the chilling
story of how he almost got away with murder.

NO PERFECT AFFAIR
Charmaine Galloway
Come take a roller coaster ride with these women and experience their drama, their
deceit, and a little bit of their naughtiness as they each try to handle lust and lies of the
most wicked kind.
Melody, Asia, and Sasha are three successful women working in the careers theyve always wanted. They excel in life, they
excel in their chosen professions, but in their relationships, they fail miserably! From scandalous affairs and druginduced
sexcapades to secret pregnancies and murder in the first degree, these cousins have the personal drama on lock. But
when backstabbing and betrayal infiltrates their relationship with one another, the once tight trio quickly finds that blood is
nowhere near as thick as water.
Charmaine Galloway resides in Toledo, Ohio with her two children. Writing has been her passion and a positive emotional
outlet since middle school. Charmaine has a Bachelor of arts degree in family life education, and an associates degree in
early childhood education. Ms. Galloway is passionate about writing reality-based stories featuring imperfect people. She
hopes to enlighten, inspire, and touch the hearts of her readers. You can reach her at charmainegalloway.com.
