Politics as Unusual!

Thomas P. Powell’s political ascension was both unusual and yet very American. From traffic cop to vice president of the United States, Thomas climbed up the ladder of public service, often due to the push of random acts and not-so-happy accidents. However, Thomas believed it was due solely to his singular and innate moral authority. What matters is what’s within; that’s the Powell political philosophy. Then, on the cusp of his grasping the last rung on the American political ladder, something truly within suddenly appears. A horrible homunculus, an impetuous imp, climbs out of Thomas’s right ear to bedevil his nights, confuse his days, and take him on a crazy, wild, dreadful, and nuclear journey.

Architect Damon Pierce only wants one night.

No relationships. No entanglements. Especially not with his friend’s little sister.

He’s haunted by his past. Control is the only solace he knows, but it’s far too dangerous to last.

THE DOMINANT is a thrilling private club romance that explores the limits of dominance and submission, of pain and pleasure, of danger and love. It contains the complete VIOLENT DELIGHTS trilogy, including CLAIM, DEFY, and OWN.

“Damon and Sophia spark off the page and draw you right into their lush, decadent world. Everything I love in a club book. Heat and longing and a sense of found family. Highly recommended!” – Lexi Blake, New York Times bestselling author

Sophia Morelli is forbidden. Off-limits. Achingly beautiful.

And dangerous to Damon’s peace.

There’s no beginning for them. No ending, either. Only an endless sensual madness.

When the flames consume them, they face more than their own tortured pasts. They face the breathtaking daggers of the present. And a powerful fight for love.

“Damon and Sophia are pure FIRE! The push and pull between them is perfection. Damon is a fiercely protective Dominant, while Sophia is his sweet, yet salty, submissive. Together, their sizzling hot passion burns across the pages like an inferno.” – LK Shaw, author of the Club Eden series

Two seasons ago, then-fifteen-celebrations-old Lake-Ellen Redwood’s Path in life changed when she became a fledgling Lady of the Leaves. On the morning she attempts to resume her lifelong goal of becoming a guild-certified accountant, she suffers a lightning strike while meditating beneath the massive Heart of the Forest.

Fearful the incident blasted into her the devil rumored to be slumbering within the two-millennia-old tree, the local ruling council banishes her under penalty of death. Forced to flee, she travels to her uncle’s house in a distant city to heal in anonymity.

At first, her recovery goes well. But as the season turns and the telltale signs of possession manifest, and the death toll rises, Lake-Ellen is forced to confront the all-too-real possibility that a being of unimaginable power has rooted within her, putting the city in grave danger, and bringing frantic authorities in pursuit. In addition, she’s receiving calls for help from a second devil, somewhere else in her world.

Only the fires of decoherence will set her free—at the cost of her life. No one will settle for anything less…

No phones. No computers. No Internet. Nothing. Three weeks without power, following a crippling EMP strike, have thrust the nation into disarray.

In the heart of a city swallowed by darkness, Martha Marshall is the last glimmer of hope – but can she navigate through anarchy, winter’s chill, and marauding raiders to sanctuary?

Martha Marshall is a beacon of hope in a world plunged into unyielding darkness by a catastrophic event. Through the chaos of a city lost, she fights to lead her mother to safety – a remote sanctuary where Martha’s partner Roy awaits. But salvation is ephemeral. Raiders strike, winter closes in, and every day is a battle against a world spiraling into anarchy.

Seeking Shelter

The thin thread holding the civilized world together has been severed. Millions of citizens have been thrust into the unknown. As society falls into dismay, John charges headlong into the escalating chaos to protect the only thing he holds dear: his family.

“Hilarious one moment, poignant the next… An author with ten lifetimes’ worth of experiences, Kaplan has penned far more than a writer’s story but an evocative and witty tour back in time to the French Riviera as most only dream of it. Clever and—best of all—true, Once Upon a Villa belongs at the top of every reader’s list.” – NY Times bestselling author Tosca Lee

In this wise, warm-hearted, witty, and LOL hilariously funny true account, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Kaplan tells what it’s like when he, his wife, and two-year-old son decided to chuck it all and live the fantasy in a villa by the sea in that extraordinary corner of the world – part international café society, part billionaires’ playground, part provincial France – that is the French Riviera.

Whether it’s matching wits with French bureaucracy, searching for the perfect bouillabaisse, encounters with con men, eccentric ex-pats, and Monaco’s royal family, partying with the international set on Onassis’ yacht, playing chess with a philosophical police chief, or adventures and friendships with the rich and famous and the presumably standoffish French, Once Upon a Villa will transport you to a fascinating and shrewdly-observed world that you will savor like your first-morning bite of pain au chocolate.

So pour yourself a glass of wine, open the book, and Santé!
