Today is release day for the fifth book in Kathryn Jane‘s Intrepid Women series ~Kickass women and the men who dare to love them~

LIES

The last thing Tara needs is a nosey man. 
The last thing Jake needs is an uptight female with a grumpy cat.
When Meyers Security is hired to find a stolen, multi-million dollar thoroughbred, Jake uses the opportunity to chase down the one woman who’s hovered at the edge of his mind for far too long. Tara isn’t his type, yet he can’t shake the image of her long black hair, mysterious dark eyes, and miles of jean clad legs. But then there was the attitude.  
Tara has a rep—handles whatever comes her way, and is paid top fees as an international equine escort. Jake is the one man who can get her to talk, but at what price? She has enough information to blow his case out of the water, but she’s been lying so long it feels like the truth. 

One horse is missing. Will there be more?  

Linsey Lanier has had two recent releases of books #6 and #7 in the Miranda and Parker Mystery series. They are both available at the major retailers. Here are the blurbs:

TRIAL BY FIRE (A Miranda and Parker Mystery) #6

Fulfilling your destiny…one killer at a time.
Miranda Steele has a reputation for being tough. But that won’t keep her daughter from searching for her real father. If Mackenzie found the man who raped Miranda fifteen years ago? The fallout would be…well, traumatic would be an understatement.
Meanwhile her sexy investigator husband wants to take on a cold case back in Chicago. A house fire that might have been arson. Miranda is less than thrilled, but Parker won’t take no for an answer.
When Miranda learns years ago a young female art student was burnt to a crisp in her own bed, the case sparks a desire to find who did it and bring him to justice.
But suddenly Parker becomes aloof. He’s up to something, Miranda knows. She just can’t figure out what. And now she’s beginning to sense the presence of something very, very evil.
When the case starts to dig up painful memories, Miranda sees Parker’s secrets could ignite her past into an inferno that might destroy them.

Can she make Parker tell her the truth before it’s too late? Or will they both go up in flames?

SMOKE SCREEN (A Miranda and Parker Mystery) #7

Fulfilling your destiny…one killer at a time.
Striking out on her own after a gut wrenching fight with Parker, Miranda is ready to prove she’s an investigator in her own right. Problem is…she has no clients.
So when a scary dude from her past walks through the door and wants to hire her to find a missing exotic dancer, she’s forced to take the case.
Meanwhile Parker is done with Miranda and the pain she puts him through. But if he can find whoever sent her those threatening texts on her cell phone weeks ago, he could prove he was right about her disregard of danger.

Little do they know they’re both in danger—and about to face the most terrifying killer of their lives.

 Vicki Batman just released SEASON OF SURPRISES, a holiday anthology, featuring her romantic comedy short story, HOLIDAY HANDBAG EXTRAVAGANZA–you knew there would be a handbag in there somewhere, right? LOL

Suzanne Johnson‘s PIRATESHIP DOWN, a new novella and story collection set in the Sentinels of New Orleans world, comes out on Nov. 2 in digital and print: 

French pirate Jean Lafitte is tall, cobalt-eyed, broad-shouldered, and immortal. What’s not to love? But New Orleans’ most esteemed member of the historical undead is headed for trouble. He’s determined to reclaim Le Diligent, his gold-laden schooner lost at sea in 1814 and recently found at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico near Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The U.S. Coast Guard and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office might beg to differ. … New Orleans wizard sentinel DJ Jaco and her merman friend Rene Delachaise can either lock up their friend Lafitte or join him on a road trip to Cajun country in order to save him from himself. Terrebonne Parish—not to mention its jail—might never be the same after the events of the all-new novella Pirateship Down, presented here along with a collection of urban fantasy stories and essays.
