Book excerpt: A continuation of USA Today bestselling author Leonard Goldberg's Daughter of Sherlock Holmes series, The Abduction of Pretty Penny finds Joanna and the Watsons on the tail of an infamous killer. Joanna and the Watsons are called in by the Whitechapel Playhouse to find Pretty Penny, a lovely, young actress who has gone missing without reason or notice. While on their search, the trio is asked by Scotland Yard to join in the hunt for a vicious murderer whose method resembles that of Jack The Ripper. It soon becomes clear that The Ripper has reemerged after a 28-year absence and is once again murdering young prostitutes in Whitechapel. Following a line of subtle clues, Joanna quickly reasons that Pretty Penny has been taken capture by the killer. But as Joanna moves closer to learning his true identity, the killer sends her a letter indicating her young son Johnny will be the next victim to die. Time is running out, and Joanna has no choice but to devise a most dangerous plan which will bring her face-to-face with the killer. It is the only chance to protect her son and rescue Pretty Penny, and save both from an agonizing death. The Abduction of Pretty Penny is a wonderful new entry in a series that the Historical Novel Society calls “one of the best Sherlock Holmes series since Laurie R. King’s Mary Russell books."

Days prior to the conference, the Governor-General is scheduled to have an audience at Buckingham Palace at which time a most precious blue diamond will be presented to King Edward as a symbolic gesture of the colonies’ resolute and never-ending allegiance to England. The flawless blue diamond, with its magnificent luster, weighs nearly 3000 carats which renders it one of the world’s largest and most valuable gems. On the Governor-General’s arrival, he is ensconced at the fashionable Windsor Hotel under the tightest security, with his entire entourage and formidable security team occupying the entire penthouse floor.

I’m one of the most boring, average girls you could ever meet. So, why would the government want me? And why do I feel a magnetic pull I can’t explain to someone... or something... I’ve never met before? REMUS’S REVELATION When I’m sucked into their bright light while at a study group, I’m shocked that they’re abducting me from a room with other people—why can I suddenly remember not only this visit but dozens more? And who is this strange, new alien claiming I’m his mate? SELAS’S SALVATION When I’m abducted by aliens at a study group with friends, I’m told if I give up my family and life on Earth, I can have the life I want. But it also comes with a little catch that definitely sounds… interesting. Is there really someone out there that’s perfect for me? ATTICUS’S ANGEL My entire life is controlled by my mother and the genetic disease I was born with that robs me of so much, including the ability to have a baby. As if the special schools and special classes weren’t enough, now my mother is considering a special home! So, when I’m offered another life—one that sounds too good to be true—I jump at the chance to be healed and have a family. Of course, no one mentioned the danger… BROCK’S BELOVED When I’m offered a chance to be healed, there really isn’t anything that could make me turn it down. Even finding out my new mate comes from the most volatile lineage in their society. After all, I can talk down the most irrational idiots. How different could this be? What I don’t expect is to enjoy it. But his possessiveness and dominating personality do strange things to me. And I like it… CHEVEPAK’S CHERISHED When I’m approached and offered an important mission, a purpose that could help thousands of people lead a better life, I’m intrigued… especially since it also comes with a mate.

Is it too late to save the clueless on the planet Quasar and offer them additional protection? Will the Marel be able to set up their breeding farms when their backup arrives? Will the population of Quasar even believe the threat is real before it’s too late? Don’t miss out on these fated mate alien romances guaranteed to have you wanting an Quasar alien all for yourself!

But I’m immediately grabbed and taken to their ship. It appears that I’m now the property of the alien that grabbed me. He’s big, possessive and seems to want to get to know me a lot better... MATTHIAS’S MIRACLE I wake from my abduction while being separated from my friends. Sore and groggy, I’m tied to a bed before I realize what’s going on. As the circumstances start to sink in, I fight until I hear a roar of rage. At first, my rescuer scares me as much as my captors, but when I realize he’s helping me, he becomes my new best friend... AMARI’S ADORED Before I even wake up from my abduction, I’m “rescued” from the shuttle that crashed here on their prison planet. But as I’m coming to terms with everything around me, I become a pawn in a tug-of-war between my new rescuer and a group of unhappy aliens. They’re determined to break away from their prison, taking everything of value with them… and that includes me! DEVLIN’S DARLING Aliens stole me from Earth, from everything that made my life safe. Beautiful tattoos have surfaced on my body… mating marks… marks that tie me to one of the aliens on the prison planet. I’m intrigued—and a little bit scared. The prisoner whose marks match mine, well, he’s really big, and feared by the other aliens. Will he even like me? I’m not sure what to expect, but I believe in destiny. I’m hoping he won’t turn me away. He’s all I have now. CALLIM’S CHALLENGE Abducted from Earth, contracting a deadly disease, getting matched up to an alien I’ve never met… welcome to the chaos that’s my life. Now, I’m on a spaceship traveling to Quasar to get the vaccine I need to survive and meet my future mate. I don’t believe in fate and being told my perfect match is waiting for me sounds like complete idiocy. There’s no other choice now, though. It’s either that or die a debilitating death. FOROHN’S FATED I’m dying. You’d think the worst thing that happened to me was being abducted from college by aliens. But no. The icing on the cake is I’ve contracted a debilitating disease, and I’ll be dead in the next couple of months. Unless I get the vaccine. It won’t do me any good to convince the Quasar aliens to take me home to Earth. I’d just end of giving the virus to everyone there… Don’t miss out on these fated mate alien romances guaranteed to have you wanting an Quasar alien all for yourself!

As the first full-length novel in The White Sails Series, DISCERNING GRACE captures the spirit of an independent woman whose feminine lens blows the ordered patriarchal decks of a 19th century tall ship to smithereens. Wilful Grace Baxter, will not marry old Lord Silverton with his salivary incontinence and dead-mouse stink. Discovering she is a pawn in an arrangement between slobbery Silverton and her calculating father, Grace is devastated when Silverton reveals his true callous nature. Refusing this fate, Grace resolves to stow away. Heading to the docks, disguised as a lad to ease her escape, she encounters smooth-talking naval recruiter, Gilly, who lures her aboard HMS Discerning with promises of freedom and exploration in South America. When Grace's big mouth lands her bare-bottomed over a cannon for insubordination, her identity is exposed. The captain wants her back in London but his orders, to chart the icy archipelago of Tierra del Fuego, forbid it. Lieutenant Seamus Fitzwilliam gallantly offers to take Grace off the fretting captain's hands by placing her under his protection. Grace must now win over the crew she betrayed with her secret, while managing her feelings towards her taciturn protector, whose obstinate chivalry stifles her new-found independence. But when Grace disregards Lieutenant Fitzwilliam's warnings about the dangers of the unexplored archipelago, it costs a friend his life and she realises she is not as free as she believes.

Book excerpt: In Peter James' You Are Dead, the last words Jamie Ball hears from his fiancée, Logan Somervile, are in a terrified mobile phone call from her. She has just driven into the underground car park beneath the apartment block where they live in Brighton, and seen a man acting strangely. Then she screams and the phone goes dead. The police are on the scene within minutes, but Logan has vanished, leaving behind her neatly parked car and cell phone. That same afternoon, workmen digging up an old asphalt path in a park in another part of the city, unearth the remains of a young woman in her early twenties, who has probably been dead for 30 years. At first, to Detective Superintendent Roy Grace and his Major Crime Team, these two events seem totally unconnected. But then another young woman in Brighton goes missing and another body from the past surfaces. At the same time a strange man visits an eminent London psychiatrist, claiming to have a piece of information on the missing woman, Logan, that turns out, at first, to be wrong-or so it seems. It is only later Roy Grace makes the chilling realization that this one thing is the key to both the past and the present-and now, beyond any doubt, he knows that Brighton has its first ever serial killer.
