After surviving her parents' murder and a decade long crusade to silence her, Meriel built a quiet life with John and stepdaughters in the far-star colonies.
So what could go wrong? Everything.
Riots erupt in Haven’s overcrowded refugee camps, and coyotes dump immigrants in the desert. Criminals who prey on the innocent claim her home world—and its citizens—as their own. And they’re not afraid to destroy a space station or a colony to get it.
But when Meriel gets in their way, they come for her family and friends, and the time for hiding is over. But to protect them, she must face the horrors she’s been hiding from, and the monster who created them.
“riveting read and engrossing … a well written science fiction tale of those who … fight for justice despite the obstacles” –Gold Medal, International Review of Books
"...a storyline filled with awe, an allegory about an innocent woman in a universe that is prepared to crush her." ***** Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews
“This was one of the best sci-fi books I have ever read!!” ***** Amazon reviewer

What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.

Silk brushed against my eyes, then wrapped around my wrists . . .
I can’t remember ever dreaming of being tied to bedposts with silk ties. A couple years ago, I barely knew gays lived anywhere other than New York or California. Who knew they were everywhere and quite willing to offer their neckwear in service to the greater good? At least, to my greater good.
Ah, the memories.
That isn’t where our story begins. It was just something that happened along the way I can’t get out of my head. You know, that memory of heart-pounding fear and adrenaline combined with the tingle of warm oil drizzling across skin? The sweet hint of cologne mingled with a day’s sweat?
I really didn't know what was happening, but it was awesome!
You’re going to love this book because everyone loves a cheeky romance full of unexpected charm & sizzle.
Get it now.
From Casey Morales, author of the hilariously charming hit, My Accidental First Date, comes the real-life, laugh-out-loud continuation of Michael's journey from newborn gay to . . .
"If I could be half the person my dog is, I’d be twice the
human I am." — Charles Yu
Moving on from the trauma of combat in Afghanistan, former Green Beret Captain Sam Dale has just begun to settle down in his hometown of Castle Rock, Colorado. Now the owner of several small businesses, he is unaware that his world is about to be turned upside down. The call comes in at 2:30 a.m. The skies outside have opened up, unleashing a torrential rainstorm. Sam’s small towing company is being tasked with the retrieval of some kind of crashed aircraft.
At the site and up close, Sam soon suspects this is no ordinary aircraft. Could it be…some kind of small alien ship? And that’s when Sam comes face-to-face with the pilot—one who goes by the name of Cypress.
Sam will soon learn that a massive fleet of warships has recently jumped into the solar system, originating from the planet Naru. Soon, the initial stages of terra-displacement will ensue—the ravishing of Earth’s natural resources and genocide of the human populace. Sam and Cypress discover their goals are more aligned than expected—deciding to work together, albeit reluctantly. First up, they must recruit an army of local townsfolk. Unfortunately, too few of them are only marginally acceptable. Others are downright misfits. While it is time to defend a now totally isolated Castle Rock, it is also time to play offense and take the battle to the alien fleet up in space. Sam will now have to become the man he has fought so hard to leave in the past. The decorated Green Beret, the one with killer instincts and combat skills like few others.
And so, the epic interstellar saga, The Fallen Ship, begins…

When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves. But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory. But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
"Darman has researched this novel extremely well, as one would expect with his military non-fiction background. This detail is meshed with great story telling which flows along with great gusto. Less for the fact that this book is about a Parthian rather than a Roman, I would describe it as a ‘Roman Sharpe’. Darman’s style is similar to and as good as Bernard Cornwell’s, one of my favourite authors."
British Army Rumour Service review, June 2011
Three people are hiding secrets. Time is running out. Secrets can't stay buried forever...
The reclusive millionaire is protecting his motherless young daughter. The last thing he needs is a romantic distraction. His new neighbour is an intrusion. Yet he can't get her out of his head...
The ruthless celebrity photographer will stop at nothing and never looks back. He's the fame-hungry darling of reality TV. But past demons are catching up with him and he's clinging too close to the edge...
The woman has sworn off men forever. Duped and humiliated, she seeks refuge in her dream cottage in the middle of nowhere. But it's almost derelict, far from the rural idyll she craves. The guy next door is maddening. A single dad, as hostile as he's hot...
Then tragedy comes snapping at their heels...
The child goes missing. She's alone in the depths of winter and the three are intent on blaming each other. After all that's occurred, old hurts run deep and trust is not on the agenda. But they must team up to find her before it's too late. Unless they bury their toxic past, they'll squander all hope of a happy-ever-after.
If you like your relationships fiery and unpredictable, you won't want to miss this suspenseful romance. Get right to the heart of this sizzling love triangle. An intriguing tale of bad choices and second chances."
...Riveting characters. Heartbreak, suspense, and surprising revelations. A beautiful, engaging story that will be hard to forget..." Readers' Favorite review
