EXCERPT FROM WARRIOR’S HEART BY LAURIE LONDON
Vince stuffed the last bite of stale bread into his mouth and rose from where he’d been sitting cross-legged on the railroad tracks.
Palmer leered at him from his perch in the back of the truck bed, a fitting throne for such an ass. “Where are you going, Crawford?”
“To water the flowers.” Vince gathered up the length of chain and stepped over Sean’s legs.
“I’ll be watching you,” the overseer growled. He curled his upper lip and spat out a long brown stream of tobacco juice between the gap in his teeth.
“Enjoy the view then.”
Chain in tow, he ambled down the tracks toward a large cedar tree at the edge of the woods. The doctor had been pumping him full of drugs, so he’d been drinking a lot of water to flush them from his system. The doc wasn’t kidding when he said that crap gave you a new kind of high.
When he was finished and started walking back, something on the tracks caught his eye. Several small flowers were lying on top of the steel rails that hadn’t been there a minute ago.
Okay, who was messing with him? Keetch?
He glanced down, but there the poor bastard was, sitting on the stack of railroad ties, right where Vince had left him.
How strange. He must’ve walked right past the flowers without noticing them. Had some kids been playing here earlier and left them there? Although they were out in the middle of nowhere, he supposed it was technically possible.
A gust of wind stirred the flowers, and a few petals blew away. No, he decided. They hadn’t been there for long.
He bent and picked them up. Small white daisies with orange centers, the kind that grew like weeds on the side of the road, with their stems braided together.
A lump caught in his throat. Zara used to make daisy chains for him. Bracelets, rings, crowns. He’d spent hours sketching her as she braided the wildflowers she’d gathered.
He could almost hear her calling his name with the wind.
He shook his head to clear the memory. Because of the drawings, the doctor had asked all sorts of questions about Zara, so it made sense that he was hallucinating about her now. “Stupid fucking drugs.”
“Vince,” the wind whispered again. “It’s me. Zara.”
All the air left his lungs in one big rush, and he nearly fell to his knees.
Impossible.
He needed to get ahold of himself. It had to be a trick by the doctor to make him think he was talking to his long lost love. Get him to spill all his secrets, tell where the portal was located. Well, he wasn’t going to fall for it. He spun on his heel to leave.
“Vince, wait. It’s really me. I can cloak myself, remember?” Something cool touched his cheek, sending a jolt of awareness through his body.
He grabbed at the air and his fingers actually brushed against what felt like soft flesh. He tried to make out some sort of ripple in the air around him, but there was nothing.
She laughed softly. “Figures. I haven’t seen you in ten years and the first thing you do is grab my boob.”
“Zara?” he rasped, her name coming out in a scratchy whisper.
“Yes, it’s me.”
His heart hammered in his chest as he scanned the empty space in front of him. “What the fuck? How did you—?” He wanted to pull her into his arms and push her away at the same time. If the doctor found out that the girl from the drawings was here, the girl he’d been protecting…
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead. “Do you have any clue what they’ll do to you if you’re caught?”
“They’d have to see me first, and that’s not going to happen.”
Before he could say anything else, the sound of vicious barking filled the air. The dog was still tied to Palmer’s truck, but he was looking in this direction, the hair on its back raised like a mohawk. The wind had shifted direction. The dog had picked up Zara’s scent.
Vince tensed, looked around in front of him, but he still couldn’t see anything. Zara was completely invisible. “You need to get the hell out of here.”
“Crawford,” Palmer yelled from the truck, jerking at the dog’s leash. The animal stopped barking. “What the hell are you doing?”
Vince cursed under his breath. “What’s it look like I’m doing?” he retorted. “Knitting a blanket?”
Zara chuckled softly.
“Then stop dicking around. We’ve got work to do.” The dog started barking again and Palmer kicked it.
“Tell him you’re sick,” she whispered.
“Zara, you really need to—”
“Just tell him.”
“I’m sick,” he called.
“Huh?” Palmer replied, his hand cupped to his ear.
“The doctor pumped me full of drugs. I’m…I’m sick.” To sell the lie, he hunched over and held his stomach. Vince lowered his voice. “Zara, please. You must leave.”
“But—”
“Get the hell out of here. Your safety means more to me than anything.”
He heard a sniffle.
“I’m not leaving you,” she said.
“What?”
“I’m going to help you escape.”

Everything was easy…until I met her.
If at first you don’t succeed, f*ck it and move the hell on. I’m Rane Wilder and I’m not one to hold on to sh*t. Life as the guitarist in the biggest band on the planet is fun. Which is good.
Because the second it stops being fun, I’m out.
Being in the music video with Madeline Cole, that was fun too. Sure, the band had misgivings about her. Maddie’s a crazy former child star who hit rock bottom hard, and is now trying to revitalize her career. She’s a fiery redhead with big blue eyes and a bad reputation, but her mom is dating my dad, so I thought I’d do her a favor by giving her the work.
That’s when things get difficult.
Because falling for Maddie is really easy. I can see the fire inside of her, and I love it that I’m the one who makes her burn.
But being with her? That’s hard as hell.
Especially when our parents announce their engagement.
I’ve fallen for a force of nature and she’s about to become my stepsister.
And for the first time in my life, I can’t move on.

BOOK TITLE : VIOLATED
(Brandon Fisher FBI Series)
AUTHOR : Carolyn Arnold
GENRE : Police Procedural / Mystery
RELEASE DATE : April 28, 2016
Sometimes the past should stay there…
The murder is one of the most heinous Brandon Fisher and his team have ever seen, but that’s not why it has their attention. The FBI is interested because the prime suspect is one of their own, Paige Dawson.
But Paige didn’t go to Valencia, California to kill anyone. She had set out on “vacation”—her new lover in tow—only to confront the man who raped her friend twenty-some years ago. While the hands of the law are tied, she wants him to face the fact that he destroyed a young woman’s life and know that, as an FBI agent, she’ll be watching his every move. But instead of accomplishing her goal, she wound up in the back of a police cruiser.
Now Paige must face off with a hard-nosed detective determined to stick a murder charge to a fed. But with the trained eyes of the FBI on the case, it’s becoming more and more obvious that the evidence lends itself to a serial killing, not an isolated incident. And as long as the local authorities are focused on Paige, the real murderer is still out there, possibly waiting to strike again…

Excerpt
“Do you ever keep that thing covered?” The huskiness in Cassie’s voice caused his thing to twitch.
“You like seeing me naked. I can see it in your eyes.” Securing the towel around his hips, Brice padded barefoot across the cold tile.
“What you see is my brain being fried from too much exposure to all your glory.”
“You think I’m glorious?” Brice unfastened her silver hair clip. Red ringlets splashed over his hands and slid through his fingers. He held fast to one curl and stroked the luxurious strands across his cheek. A thrill zipped straight down to his groin.
“That’s not what I meant.” A slight tremble parted her lips.
Brice ached for a kiss and so much more. Her taste on his tongue, her scent on his skin, her luscious legs wrapped around his hips. A deluge of erotic dreams had eroded his resolution to keep things platonic.
Cassie’s scent wove a spell of need and want that smothered reason. Helpless to resist, he slipped his arm around her waist and lowered his face to hers. She squinted and puckered her mouth, but not to receive his lips.
The unexpected rejection jolted Brice. “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t want this.” She gestured a between-you-and-me hand signal. “I have plans for the future and you’re not in them.”
Damn. That stung.
Even though he agreed they had no future together, he disliked hearing her say it.
“You need ground rules.” Cassie wormed out of his hold and faced him with a straight back, squared shoulders and both hands on her hips.
Her eyes slanted with censure. She pointed her jaw and scrunched her mouth like his fourth-grade teacher when he’d neglected to do his homework three days in a row. When he’d been a wolfling, the no-nonsense, better-get-your-shit-together look had mortified him into compliance. Now that he was an adult male in his prime, that look on a feisty, petite human female did something entirely different.
“I don’t like rules.” He smiled.
