Alyson Linker

Brooklyn grows up believing her life is meant to be small, quiet, and survivable. Orphaned and mistreated, she learns to endure rather than dream. Then the truth shatters everything she knows. She is also Sahara, heir to a hidden elven realm that thrives on magic, secrets, and strict expectations. Royal blood unlocks ancient power, but it also comes wrapped in prophecy, rules, and a future already written by others. As magic stirs and choices narrow, Sahara must decide who she is willing to become. Obedient heir or defiant force? Strength rises where fear once lived, and destiny begins to look less like a promise and more like a challenge she is ready to face.

Marked Man

Marked Man

Ophelia Bell

My family’s ties to a certain set of crime lords are more tangled and volatile than the wires in an IED. They’ve called on me to disarm a situation ready to explode, but in spite of all my training, I’m not sure any of us are getting out of this unscathed.

That’s especially true when I find out the black-ops mission I’ve signed up for is commanded by none other than Sadie Watts, the girl who left me in the dust so many years ago I should be over it. But I’m not, and seeing her again, especially in such close quarters, is a distraction I can’t afford.

I know what I’m out here fighting for—my brothers; my sister; the USA—but as we close in on our target, I start to wonder if it’s not her I’m fighting for too.

But a sudden attack pulls her into a dangerous game, and her new assignment is the very man she just let into her world. Torn between trust and suspicion, she can’t shake the feeling that everyone has their eyes on her—including the one person she hoped she could rely on.

While Smith insists Jake must become King of Earth, powerful enemies close in, hungry for the ring’s power. Enter Nava, fierce, brilliant, and absolutely done with nonsense.

You can run, my sweet, but I’ll always find you,” a deep voice echoed, sending a delicious shudder down my spine.
