For five years, I’ve known one thing, and that is that my stepsister is my fated mate. I’ve felt the pull to her, and it’s undeniable. When my alpha sent me on a mission to bring back a wolf shifter, who had taken up residence in her town, I was hoping and fearing that I’d see her again. And my hopes and fears became reality on my first day there. She was the wolf. And my alpha wants her. Liam My mission was simple. I had to search for the missing journalist, Rebecca Schmidt, and find out if she was alive and well. While I did find her, I didn’t expect to feel such a magnetic pull towards a complete stranger. When she was attacked outside the bed and breakfast, I knew I had to help. When my father, Conner, and Kody came to help me get to the bottom of why werewolves were after Rebecca, Kody sensed something “off” about her. That there's darkness in her. I only hope I can keep Rebecca safe and get to the bottom of why she’s being targeted, and in the meantime, I pray that she feels the same undeniable draw towards me as I do towards her. Stone When Vicki Grant hired Blaire and I to find out who had killed her twin sister and her unborn baby, we knew it would be a tough one. We hit dead end after dead end, but—for some reason—I didn’t want to give up. One minor twist of fate, and our cold case was picking up speed. While I wanted to help Vicki discover who killed her twin, I didn’t want to do it at the expense of her life. I may not have all the answers, but the one thing I did know was that this sexy, beautiful, intelligent woman was my mate, my forever, and I’d do whatever I could to keep her safe. Rose Those eyes…where have I seen those eyes before? They are emerald green and they look remarkably like the eyes of the giant wolf I encountered in the woods. Yet…they belong to the incredibly sexy Max Ryker, who is most certainly a man in every sense of the word. I find myself returning to the woods that is part of the Ryker ranch. It’s like I’m drawn to it, even though my aunt and uncle have warned me to stay away from the Rykers. As I get to know Max Ryker and his mom and brother, I find that—even if the rumors are true, that his mom is a witch—I cannot stay away. I have a gut feeling that the Rykers are not what they seem, but will I have to give up a normal life to experience life with Max? Or can I have it all?

A gut reaction is warning us that we as a people are in grave danger. Special interests tear at each other and divide us. Mounting debt becomes more unsustainable with each fiscal cycle. Most important, for the first time in human history, we don’t know how to feed ourselves. Society teeters just nine meals from chaos. We are at the mercy of intricate supply chains for the most basic of needs. If tomorrow that supply chain stopped, and the grocery store was empty, what would we do to care for our families? In the setting of the Fortress Farm series, the world’s electrical and communications grid fails. People are left people without food, water or heat. Leaders seize remaining resources for their own benefit, forsaking those they claimed to serve. Bandits roam the countryside preying on the weak. Humans once more fear what lurks in the night. Fortress Farm charts the progress of different societies as they reform in the void. Some try to create libertarian republics, others benevolent dictatorships, caliphates and military rule. Some Churches join forces and once again help lost souls find hope, while other religions take the opportunity to prove God's judgement is upon them. Each situation presents unique challenges and this new dark age survivors to the point of collapse. But all is not lost. This is not just a story detailing the implosion of a fragile society, but a blueprint for how we might prepare before catastrophe strikes and how we rebuild afterwards. More important than governmental theories, Fortress Farm follows common people doing the best they can to defend and care for their families in a chaotic world, each trying to build a better life for their loved ones.

    Two men, two stories, one breathtaking conclusion. The first man is Samuel Wade, an ex-soldier, on the run and blamed for the murder of his beloved wife and daughter. But he’s on the trail of the real murderer and is seeking revenge. He boards a coach bound for Edinburgh, hot on the heels of his one-time friend and army colleague John Travers – a man who was kidnapped and brutally tortured by insurgents. A man who blamed Wade for allowing it to happen. The man who killed his family. What happens next is totally unexpected and bizarre. Trying to sleep during a storm, Wade wakes to discover that the coach and its ten remaining passengers is no longer headed to Edinburgh. Impossibly, it’s in the middle of a vast, unknown and hostile desert, abandoned by its driver. Are they asleep, is it a dream? Are they all dead? So their nightmare begins. The second man is Robert Napier, second-in-command at Lindegaard Software, a company run by the powerfully wealthy Dale Lindegaard. Dale took over the business when his brother Jeremy and niece Melissa were brutally gunned down by an activist group known as CSL. Jeremy died, and Melissa was reduced to a vegetative state, and all because of Lindegaard’s complete control of a controversial new drug called tremethelene, used by millions worldwide. CSL was duly crushed, their leaders now in jail. But CSL has come back from the dead with a new leader called Charlie Sharland, threatening Dale Lindegaard’s tremethelene monopoly all over again. Lindegaard is determined to stamp them out for good and urges Robert Napier to do whatever it takes to rid him of them. Even murder. As Samuel Wade’s living nightmare in the desert grows ever more bizarre and terrifying, Robert Napier is forced to work with Dean Villiers, a cold, calculating and violently ambitious man. He is drawn ever deeper into the dark underbelly of a multi-billion dollar corporation, where violence and greed are the norm and nothing is as it first appears. Who is the mole known as Cobalt? Who and where is Charlie Sharland? Does he even exist? And what exactly is motivating the scheming Dean Villiers? Both men are out for revenge. Wade because of his family’s murder, Napier because of what happened to the vegetative Melissa Lindegaard, his wife-to-be. Both men’s lives are irrevocably intertwined. Both their stories will come crashing together in the terrifying, surprising, jaw-dropping climax of D. M. Mitchell’s undeniably original and most imaginative thriller to date. Dare you take a journey into nightmare?
