Here’s the set-up:

I don’t regret what I’ve done… the lives I’ve saved or the ones I’ve taken. But I never wanted to be a hero—never imagined I’d take justice into my own hands.

That was before I found a corpse, before my dog saved my life…before I killed in cold blood.

I’d just swapped my loser boyfriend for a giant mutt and picked up a dog walking gig on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Things were looking up until I discovered a dead body. Not only is the guy dead, he’s my client. The police start looking at me like I have something to do with this mess. I’m just a dog walker…

Now I’m going to risk everything to bring a killer to justice.

Because the world needs saving, and sometimes it takes a girl and her dog to do it.

***If you have trouble with the f-bomb, violence, or sex (not graphic but out of wedlock).. then you shouldn’t start this series….it’s just not your thing. If you love powerful women, gritty crime thrillers, and heroic dogs then join the adventure and download Unleashed today!***

You’ll never view odd numbers the same way again.

When a key witness in an organized crime trial turns up dead in his kitchen with liar and the number two scrawled on his forehead, the FBI assumes the murder was a hit to silence him. Then the calls start coming in—more victims with similar markings and no connection to the mob.

As agents Victoria Heslin and Dante Rivera struggle to catch a break in the case, they receive a series of cryptic, personal messages from the killer, complicating the investigation. Something disturbing and frightening is underway, and anyone might be next, including the agents, unless they uncover the common denominator.

USA Today Bestselling Author Jenifer Ruff delivers a gripping new psychological thriller that will appeal to fans of the Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn as well as serial killer favorites like The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris and Kiss the Girls by James Patterson.

“Packed with outrageous drama, family turmoil, and the tease of a love triangle, THE EXTRA sweeps the reader into the tumultuous life of a soap opera set.” –Kelly Siskind, author of New Orleans Rush

Gabby Mays wishes she had her future figured out, like her gorgeous roommate Anna-Marie, who has just landed a role on the hit soap opera Passion Medical. Gabby would give anything to find a career she’s half as passionate about as Anna-Marie is about acting—and a love life that isn’t comprised of nights with a party-sized bag of Doritos and her Netflix account.

When Gabby becomes a recurring extra on Passion Medical, she finds a job she’s surprisingly great at. Even better, her old crush and ex-boss—the sexy, sweet Will Bowen—is writing the scripts, allowing Gabby lots of quality flirting time at the craft services table.

But between feuding divas, fake Emmys, and Gabby’s growing concern that Will might not see her as anything more than a friend, her life on set is quickly becoming a drama worthy of the soaps.

From a diagnosis of advanced stage cancer, to competing in a triathlon at the age of 68

Dr. Gilkis’ unique memoir and life-changing message is: physical activity is for everyone at any age and it can improve the quality of life as well as physical and mental health, dramatically. This message comes from Gilkis’ deep personal understanding due to his own choices, which he suggests everyone implement!

In this book, Dr. Gilkis dismantles the myth that sporting activities are only for the young and strong, or that it has to be an unpleasant and difficult task. It shows how sporting activities can be almost effortless while being a source of joy and satisfaction. “A little is a lot” is the message the author wants his readers to receive, so each and every one – at any age and physical state, can be encouraged to start!

Cupid she’s not–but she’s pretty darn close.

Nothing in the world feels better than finding her clients the perfect date. Of course, finding one for herself might be nice, but creative bill paying is for college students not for accomplished doctors in their forties. Satisfied customers keep the electricity on.

But wait, according to all the magazines the forties are the new twenties. Now if only she felt twenty…

Everything in Dr. Mariah Bates’ life was perfectly fine until the moment she quit her celebrity radio job to start a dating business. Two years, a cheating ex, and a very ugly divorce later, she’s suddenly homeless and living with her mother. Not exactly how she’d envisioned her life working out. Not that her mom isn’t great, but come on.

With her cop ex-husband doing everything he can to ruin her business, Mariah’s at her wit’s end. Throw in another cop who makes her believe in love at first sight and life is a mess. Interesting, fun and tummy tingling, but a mess. Especially since another cop is the last thing she needs.

Getting lost in a romance novel is my passion.
Getting lost in a real life romance with three gorgeous cowboys… ecstasy!

I’d had a one-night stand with Gunner Blackthorn a couple years ago that never went anywhere. He’d been too drunk to remember it, and I’d been too desperate to remind him.

When he strolls back into my life in need of a cook/housekeeper out on his ranch I apply for the job after my hours at the library get cut in half. I knew there were two other cowboys living on Gunner’s ranch. What I didn’t know is how much I’d be attracted to all three of them.

Rory, the big, brooding ex-military hunk, is working to get past his crippling PTSD.

Kit, the sandy-haired, easy-going charmer, only wants to please me.

And Gunner, my secret heartthrob, hasn’t had a real drink since our one-night stand.

Soon I’m not only ordering in food, but I’m ordering in their affections. I learn rather quickly that all those books I’ve read about love and romance don’t compare to the heat, passion and ecstasy of the real deal… especially with three hotter than a branding iron cowboys!

3 Cowboys For The Librarian is a burning hot, stand-alone reverse harem romance filled with sweet moments, humor, and sizzling ménage that just might melt your Kindle. A HEA is always guaranteed.

For Lenny, it is a necessary process of discovery, one that is as tormenting as it is delightful.

Is there a point where we may still touch?This is a WWII romance going back and forth between England to the US, touching upon the plight of war brides.
