His past sins may destroy her future… Ex-military sniper, Nick White, drives a big rig to shove time served in Afghanistan into the rearview mirror. He wants nothing to do with people’s good intentions or the chain of truck stops his wealthy family owns. Every solitary mile he travels helps grapple with a guilt that runs deep. Brenna Carpenter pays the bills waiting tables at a Pennsylvania truck stop while finishing her business degree. Her plans don’t include desertion at a trailer park like her mother. A truck driver, no matter how sexy, complicates that ambition, but it’s the stalker that robs her focus. Mysterious notes and gifts grow more possessive each day. When Nick’s violent past threatens Brenna, driving away isn’t an option. If he can’t track down the man who wants revenge, their budding relationship may come to the end of the road... ***Tactical Revenge is the sixth and LAST in the Love on the Line series. It’s a stalker and protector suspense that offers 'Romance with a splash of danger' featuring an emotionally wounded veteran and a truck stop waitress who has more attention than she wants. When things turn dangerous, he has to put his past behind him and face the present unless he wants to lose the woman he loves. Reviews: “Absolutely brilliant book that was riveting from the beginning due to the sexy, delicious ex-military hero and the sassy heroine that gets under his skin.” “This story took me on a roller coaster of suspense, emotion and had me on the edge of my seat at times.” ”Nick and Brenna's relationship is teasing and crackles with flirtatious energy, and the way he's fiercely determined to protect her melts the heart.” More Love on the Line books coming SOON! Ex-military men who served together, bonding close as brothers. Even though their lives go in different directions, the bond they forged can never be broken. Danger is in their blood. Missions may change, but with the women they love at their sides these men are strong enough for any new challenge. 1. Wild Card Undercover - Jan 2021 (rerelease) 2.

The road to happiness is paved with danger... Recovering from a gunshot wound is the easy part. Boston cop, Keith Cho, discovers coming to grips with his partner’s death requires a different sort of medicine. He’ll start a cross country road trip with seeing his partner’s sister, Samantha Bates. Sam can’t hide the injuries or the backpack she’s hauling as she hikes away from town. Fleeing from her abusive ex-boyfriend is key. When she and Keith reconnect on a back country road, he insists she come with him. Keith is good company but needs to stay firmly in the friend category. Being with a cop can only lead to heartache, something Sam can’t handle again. As they travel, frequent accidents seem far too convenient. Are these incidents connected to them or a mystery someone wants silenced? It’s a race against death and someone’s going to lose. ***Death Race is the fifth in the Love on the Line series. It’s a road trip turned death race suspense that offers 'Romance with a splash of danger' featuring a wounded cop and his dead partner's sister. Their cross country trip begins to turn sour when accidents happen. They need to figure out who's behind them before they wind up dead. Reviews: “This book was such a blast. It was an exciting and engrossing read that had my eyes glued to every word.” “Ms. Lemor managed to capture my undivided attention with a well-developed plot, which was filled with a good dose of suspense and strong, delightful characters that I couldn't wait to learn more about the moment they were introduced.” “Between the roller coaster of some very scary encounters and the mystery of who is behind it all, you have a warm, funny, delightful story as Keith and Sammi's relationship gradually changes. In a refreshingly authentic and human way, they go from something that was friendly yet stunted by the past to a real and lasting connection that no outside force can break apart.” ** More Love on the Line books coming SOON!

Ex-military men who served together, bonding close as brothers. Even though their lives go in different directions, the bond they forged can never be broken. Danger is in their blood. Missions may change, but with the women they love at their sides these men are strong enough for any new challenge. ​​​​​​​ **Get all three romantic suspense stories PLUS bonus content** WILD CARD UNDERCOVER - book 1 Some gambles are worth the risk . . . Trapped in the nightmare of Miami’s illicit underworld, Meg O’Hara has no choice but work for a high-stakes criminal to repay a debt. Freedom is a pipe dream, until FBI agent Christopher Shaunessy offers her a way out. It won’t be easy, especially playing the role of lover to the charismatic agent. Getting the goods on her boss could mean her life, a risk she’ll take to be rid of the rat’s vulgar advances. Chris Shaunessy doesn’t break rules, but working with Meg is pushing even his well-honed control to the limit. Personal involvement should never mix in the sordid world of organized crime. They’re playing a perilous game. Giving into temptation could be his biggest mistake because the kisses they share might be more dangerous than the case… RUNNING TARGET - book 2 A deadly game of cat and mouse . . . FBI agent Jack Holland courted a death wish falling for Callie Lansing. Her friendship with Angelo Cabrini, son of a New Jersey mob boss, was not what it seemed. But Angelo’s death at the hands of Jack, even in self-defense, had disastrous consequences: Jack, now a wanted man and Callie, raising their son alone. The Cabrinis have cost Jack everything, but he’ll never regret the birth of his son, Jonathan. With a vengeful Victor Cabrini after him, Jack stays on the run. Keeping Callie and Jonathan safe means letting the crime boss believe Jonathan is his grandchild. But if the mobster discovers the truth before Jack can put him behind bars, his secret family may pay the ultimate price… FATAL EVIDENCE - book 3 Some secrets weren’t meant to be revealed… Scott Holland’s mill renovation project can’t succeed without Heather Silva’s backing. But the memory of his one-night stand with the business heiress won’t leave him alone, no matter how much trouble it causes. And, just as predicted, that trouble starts the minute they ink the deal. Heather’s determination to succeed without the help of her wealthy parents pushes her to work with Scott. This project is about her financial independence, not the smoldering way he makes her feel. With their history, it’s no surprise they clash on every detail, but a grisly discovery changes everything. The mill has secrets, and someone wants Heather and Scott silenced. They must work together to find answers because what you don’t know can get you killed... ***PLUS - BONUS CONTENT Stealing Christmas - a Wild Card Undercover bonus story (first published in the WORST HOLIDAY EVER anthology). The Beginning - the much asked for prequel to Running Target.

A 2015 Whitney Award Nominee! A powerful story of loss, second chances, and first love, reminiscent of Sarah Dessen and John Green. When Oakley Nelson loses her older brother, Lucas, to cancer, she thinks she’ll never recover. Between her parents’ arguing and the battle she’s fighting with depression, she feels nothing inside but a hollow emptiness. When Mom suggests they spend a few months in California with Aunt Jo, Oakley isn’t sure a change of scenery will alter anything, but she’s willing to give it a try. In California, Oakley discovers a sort of safety and freedom in Aunt Jo’s beach house. Once they’re settled, Mom hands her a notebook full of letters addressed to her—from Lucas. As Oakley reads one each day, she realizes how much he loved her, and each letter challenges her to be better and to continue to enjoy her life. He wants her to move on. If only it were that easy. But then a surfer named Carson comes into her life, and Oakley is blindsided. He makes her feel again. As she lets him in, she is surprised by how much she cares for him, and that’s when things get complicated. How can she fall in love and be happy when Lucas never got the chance to do those very same things? With her brother’s dying words as guidance, Oakley knows she must learn to listen and trust again. But will she have to leave the past behind to find happiness in the future?

A New York Times bestseller • A New York Times Notable Book “The tale of how Konnikova followed a story about poker players and wound up becoming a story herself will have you riveted, first as you learn about her big winnings, and then as she conveys the lessons she learned both about human nature and herself.” —The Washington Post It's true that Maria Konnikova had never actually played poker before and didn't even know the rules when she approached Erik Seidel, Poker Hall of Fame inductee and winner of tens of millions of dollars in earnings, and convinced him to be her mentor. But she knew her man: a famously thoughtful and broad-minded player, he was intrigued by her pitch that she wasn't interested in making money so much as learning about life. She had faced a stretch of personal bad luck, and her reflections on the role of chance had led her to a giant of game theory, who pointed her to poker as the ultimate master class in learning to distinguish between what can be controlled and what can't. And she certainly brought something to the table, including a Ph.D. in psychology and an acclaimed and growing body of work on human behavior and how to hack it. So Seidel was in, and soon she was down the rabbit hole with him, into the wild, fiercely competitive, overwhelmingly masculine world of high-stakes Texas Hold'em, their initial end point the following year's World Series of Poker. But then something extraordinary happened. Under Seidel's guidance, Konnikova did have many epiphanies about life that derived from her new pursuit, including how to better read, not just her opponents but far more importantly herself; how to identify what tilted her into an emotional state that got in the way of good decisions; and how to get to a place where she could accept luck for what it was, and what it wasn't. But she also began to win. And win. In a little over a year, she began making earnest money from tournaments, ultimately totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. She won a major title, got a sponsor, and got used to being on television, and to headlines like "How one writer's book deal turned her into a professional poker player." She even learned to like Las Vegas. But in the end, Maria Konnikova is a writer and student of human behavior, and ultimately the point was to render her incredible journey into a container for its invaluable lessons. The biggest bluff of all, she learned, is that skill is enough. Bad cards will come our way, but keeping our focus on how we play them and not on the outcome will keep us moving through many a dark patch, until the luck once again breaks our way.

A GAME OF THRONES How would you like to read A Game of Thrones with a PhD by your side?Steven Attewell, creator of Race for the Iron Throne (racefortheironthrone.wordpress.com), is one of the most insightful scholars in political theory and history, but instead of devoting his talents to academia, he's delving into George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga to give the most comprehensive deconstruction - and explanation - yet offered.Each one of Thrones's 73 chapters is broken down in meticulous detail in four key areas.
