I’m having a case of the Mondays. Why? Well because it’s Monday and we actually don’t have a new release for you today – but there is one for every other day of the week. No new release today makes me a little bit sad, but sometimes that happens and I know, I know, you need a slower week to catch up on your reading. Well, I think this might be one of those weeks. 🙂
We have 4 terrific books launching this week.
Learn about this week’s releases below!

Not that they have time to focus on a solution.
Maggie has shifter packs from all over the world hunting her, and she can’t stay on the run forever.
The question is, how does she get a bunch of shifters who think the only known female shifter is an abomination to just…leave her alone? And how does she get the covens who want to study her to just…leave her alone?
Maggie has no idea, so she does the next best thing. Or, not the next best thing. A ridiculous thing.
She sets out to find the father who abandoned her and her brother and get the answer to why.

Officer Michael Collins passed probation and is now an official member of district five late shift.
But not everyone in this unbreakable group of cops is welcoming him with open arms.
Collins is still a rookie in the eyes of many of his peers. He is constantly trying to prove himself worthy. He is, however, gaining allies, including two new officers he bonded with and a few sergeants who have his back.
A new partner who is going through her own struggles and the ghost of a previous fling give Collins has a renewed optimism about his job and his shift.
That optimism could be misplaced…
Collins almost doesn’t survive his first New Year’s Eve on late shift in the most violent part of town.

Off-duty, Collins’ love life is heating up with the nurse he has fallen for.
Their future is looking rosy until a mistimed gesture of affection that is misunderstood threatens to derail their newfound relationship.
Between the ghosts of his past, the nonstop pressure of his job, and the start—or maybe sudden end—of his love life, will Collins have what it takes to achieve balance and stay the course?
Get your copy and join Officer Collins as he battles to survive the unforgiving streets and keep his love life on track!
Note: This book contains profanities and situations not for the faint of heart. There is also dark, or what some call ‘gallows humor’ that police officers, and most other first responders use to deal with the ugliness that is thrown their way on a regular basis. This book is as realistic as it gets. Unless you are riding around in a squad car, now that’s real.
