(A Line of Duty Novel)
by Tessa Bailey
Only on Nook!
Overview
His need to possess her is non-negotiable.
Story Brooks’ fiancé just called off their wedding two weeks before the happy day. As if that isn't bad enough, her semi-estranged father, an infamous NYPD hostage negotiator, has suffered a heart attack. Not wanting to examine her lack of emotion over the broken engagement, she hops on a plane to reconnect with her father before it’s too late.
Playboy hostage negotiator Daniel Chase has never, not once, been refused by a woman, so when a debate over hospital snack foods with a delectable kindergarten teacher ends in flat-out rejection, he makes it his mission to seduce her. His only obstacle? She’s the daughter of his mentor who implicitly forbade Daniel from pursuing her.
Despite her father’s warnings and Daniel’s troubled past, Daniel and Story can’t resist their intense attraction to one another. But when the reason for her fiancé’s abrupt wedding cancellation comes to light, can Story and Daniel's already forbidden relationship survive?
Flirting with Disaster:
A Loveswept Contemporary Romance
by Ruthie Knox
Only on Nook!
In the latest eBook original novel in RITA finalist and USA Today bestselling author Ruthie Knox’s scorching-hot Camelot series, a no-strings fling looks an awful lot like falling in love—or flirting with disaster.
Fresh out of a fiasco of a marriage, Katie Clark has retreated to her hometown to start over. The new Katie is sophisticated, cavalier, and hell-bent on kicking butt at her job in her brother’s security firm. But on her first assignment—digging up the truth about the stalker threatening a world-famous singer-songwriter—Katie must endure the silent treatment from a stern but sexy partner who doesn’t want her help . . . or her company.
Sean Owens knows that if he opens his mouth around Katie, she’ll instantly remember him as the geeky kid who sat behind her in high school. Silence is golden, but he can’t keep quiet forever, not with Katie stampeding through their investigation. It’s time for Sean to step up and take control of the case, and his decade-old crush. If he can break through Katie’s newfound independence, they just might find they make a perfect team—on the road, on the job, and in bed.
Sons of Zeus: A Novel
by Noble Smith
In 431 B.C., Ancient Greece experienced its own “Pearl Harbor”—a treacherous sneak attack that would mark the start of the bloody war between the democracy of Athens and the tyranny of Sparta. Caught between these superpowers, the independent city-state of Plataea became the arena where their battle for control of all of Greece would begin.
In Plataea, the young Greek warrior Nikias dreams of glory in the Olympic games as he trains for the pankration—the no-holds-barred ultimate fighting of the era—until an act of violence in defense of his beloved threatens to send him into exile. But before his trial can take place, a traitor opens the city gates to a surprise attack force.
Suddenly trapped inside their own fortress, the Plataeans are fighting for their lives. As Nikias seeks to discover the identity of the man who betrayed the city, he makes a daring escape, gathers an army, and leads this ragtag band into a suicidal battle at the gates of the citadel—a battle that will decide the fates of his family, his friends, and the woman he loves.
In the vein of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, and Steven Pressfield, Sons of Zeus marks the beginning of a richly detailed new action-adventure series.

Joyland
by Stephen King
Overview
A STUNNING NEW NOVEL FROM ONE OF THE BEST-SELLING AUTHORS OF ALL TIME!
Set in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever.
"I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts. That combo made Hard Case Crime the perfect venue for this book, which is one of my favorites. I also loved the paperbacks I grew up with as a kid, and for that reason, we’re going to hold off on e-publishing this one for the time being. Joyland will be coming out in paperback, and folks who want to read it will have to buy the actual book." – Stephen King

Heart of Obsidian (Psy-Changeling Series #12)
by Nalini Singh
Overview
In 2006, Nalini Singh introduced the beguiling and sensual Psy/Changeling world in Slave to Sensation, which spawned a series that has had readers and critics cheering. Througout the incredible 11-book run there has been one question that has tantalized Nalini’s legion of fans. Now, in the eagerly-awaited twelfth book in the series, Nalini Singh finally reveals the answer to the biggest Psy/Changeling mystery—an answer so surprising we wouldn’t dare spoil it. Even if we knew.
Dear Reader,
I'm delighted to have this chance to chat to you about HEART OF OBSIDIAN. This is a book I've been making notes for over the past several years, adding material into the file with each new release in the Psy-Changeling series. Last year, when I sat down to write it in earnest, the words just flew. I was so incredibly excited that I worked late into the night for months, putting down scene after scene as fast as my fingers would move across the keyboard.
HEART OF OBSIDIAN is many things, but first and foremost, it's a love story between two people who've been through terrible darkness. They've survived, but the toll it's taken has been a brutal one, fundamentally altering who they once were. I adore both these characters and as I wrote, I wanted only happiness for them, but I knew their journey was never going to be easy, and that no matter if it hurt, I had to be true to them.
As I wrote, I saw through the eyes of the hero and heroine, learned of the scars that marked them both, smiled at the unexpected moments of laughter, felt my heart race at the heat that smoldered between them, and cried at the keyboard because finally, finally, it was their time. HEART OF OBSIDIAN ripped out my heart, shredded it into confetti, then put it back together a little battered, but stronger for it.
I think despite—or perhaps because of the darkness that has shaped both the hero and heroine—this may be one of the most deeply romantic books I've ever written, and it's one that continues to make my heart clench when I open the manuscript to read it. That isn't to say that the Psy-Changeling world is ignored here. On the contrary, this is the book that changes everything — the events that take place in HEART OF OBSIDIAN will color every aspect of the world going forward.
In the book blurb, it says "The day of reckoning is here" and that I think, is a potent representation of the story as a whole. The time has come not only for a staggering change in the world, but in the lives of the hero and heroine. Neither will ever again be the same.
I hope you find HEART OF OBSIDIAN as passionate and as romantic a read as I still do, and that you laugh, cry, and get angry right along with the characters.
As always, if you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me. I truly love hearing from my readers.
With the warmest regards,
Nalini
