This Week’s New Releases

Title: Codename: Deathwish
Series: Spellbound Security
Release Date: 01/07/2025

A new client fell out of the sky. Action Movie Star, Hayley Wish’s plane decided to take a nosedive with her inside. Quick thinking and a jarring ejection saved that pretty face.

Danica is there to ponder who, why and just how did they do that? Is it magic? It will take all of the team’s skills and abilities to figure it out.

Moriarity has turned his attention to Danica Grey and Jilly the Fae Dragon. Can they survive the probe?

In the meantime, the show must go on, and they’ll need to protect Hayley. There’s no stopping the actress with the nickname, Deathwish.

Defending against infomancy incursions, breaking and entering into a movie studio, and riding along for movie stunts. Danica didn’t sign up for any of it when she agreed to run Spellbound Security’s Cleveland office.

Doesn’t matter. Protecting their client comes first, no matter the cost. Danica’s team is on the case.

But will it be enough, with the darkness Moriarity and his assistant Solene bring behind the scenes? There’s only one way to find out.

For action, magic, snarky banter, martial arts, mystical creatures, and a dash of mystery, join Danica and Jilly for the next adventure of Spellbound Security!

Title: Diplomat’s Betrayal
Series: Diplomat’s Apprentice Book 8
Release Date: 01/08/2025

It was supposed to be a vacation. Instead, they’re running for their lives.

Decades ago, a brutal civil war on Bythia deposed the corrupt royal family. Its members died in the fighting or faced Bythian justice…all but an innocent teenage girl.

Devastating wartime choices compelled mercenary leader Veraz to rethink his life. Smuggling the Bythian princess off-planet and hiding her in a rundown circus, hoping she would remain hidden forever, was his last act in the uprising.

Unfortunately, some members of Bythian security still thirst for revenge.

Now the princess and her daughter are fleeing their mock justice. Anwyn, Mark, and Rehan vow to protect the duo but have no backup.

Anwyn’s plan is simple: Hide in the wilderness park where they took the circus teens for a camping trip. Except there are worse things in the wilderness than near bears and lizard-wolves.

Can the mercenaries thwart their attackers, or will the park become their bloody grave?

Title: Lost in the Mirage
Series: Revenant Online Book 4
Release Date: 01/09/2025

Back in reality, Alex faces his own challenges. His blooming relationship with Sana is tested when her father receives devastating news, forcing them both to grow up faster than expected.
