With the next Tough Mudder (10 miles / 20 obstacles of mud and fear facing stuff I don’t wanna face) a little over a month away I am sure I should be jogging or something. I don’t wanna. Adding another Tough Mudder in this year sounded like a good idea over half a year ago, but that was because it was over half a year away. Now that it is a month away I am having a bit of a fit. I don’t wanna train and get into shape. I really want to go shopping for Halloween decorations, or look for crafty things to do. Why should I have to think about eating right and building up my endurance? And where the heck did that spider go from this morning. AAAHHHGGG!

The headless body of a wealthy widow is discovered decomposing in Chelling Forest. Then a second victim is found. Detective Inspector Lorne Simpkins and her partner, DS Pete Childs are assigned the case.
Before they can discover the identity of the killer they must make a connection between the two victims.
After a third murder, Lorne receives a grisly surprise. Clearly, a vicious serial killer is on a rampage… and Lorne has become the killer’s fixation.

When Lorne is targeted in a trap that results in the death of her partner, the tragedy shakes her confidence to the core. Before she has time to recoup, her teenage daughter is kidnapped. More than Lorne’s professional reputation rests on her bringing The Unicorn to justice.

Welcome to Perion City, home to the largest beta test ever conceived. Though its roughly half a million residents all consider themselves human, nearly a third live with the knowledge that they were not born… they were manufactured.
Sava Kessler has spent almost a decade protecting the public image of Perion Synthetics, the world’s leading manufacturer of artificially intelligent, synthetic humans.

Myriah Fire
by Claudy Conn, Karen Babcock
Genre: Sagas | Romance
FREE for a limited time
Adult NYTimes & USA Today bestselling author presents:
It started with a stolen kiss… fire.
Wild and headstrong, fiery Myriah Whitney is wild of nature, contrary, and independent. But when her father catches her kissing the handsome Sir Roland (how else is she to determine if he is the one who will make her feel thunder and lightning, hear bells and music?), he declares that her days of headstrong independence are over. She will, he commands, announce her engagement to Sir Roland — immediately.
But in an age where marriages are about alliances rather than affection, practicality not passion, Myriah wants more — she wants to fall in love. And she does not love Sir Roland. So she runs away to her grandfather with her faithful manservant, Tabson, at her side.
A wrong turn in the fog, however, leads to the discovery of an injured young man, and before she knows it Myriah is caught up in world of intrigue and secrets. And when she meets the young man’s older brother, the mysterious Lord Kit Wimborne, the sparks fly. Their first encounter — in his bed, both of them naked, no less! — is an explosion of wills, and it is what finally set Myriah on fire.
She has, it seems, finally found her thunder and lightning…

However, there he stopped short.
Someone with long, flaming ringlets of hair was lying face down, covered only to her waist — in his bed!
His first thought made him grin. His puppy of a brother had no doubt brought her home with him, but why would the rascal send her off to his bedchamber?
Drape mystery solved, and another one to contemplate.
“Now what to do with you, sweet,” he murmured. Grinning, as he thought, One shouldn’t infringe on one’s brother’s property — but really, Billy, why the devil did you put her in my bed? This question repeated itself, and still grinning, his lordship decided the only thing to do in such a situation was to wake her — his way!
He nibbled at her delicate ears and placed a warm kiss on her throat. She groaned pleasurably. The sound stimulated him, and he leaned over her and took her mouth with
