Anne Marie Becker also has a new release this week: STACKING THE DECK (Redemption Club, Book 1)

In a city built for sin, the Redemption Club is a secret society that exists to fulfill a person’s darkest desires—including murder games—for a price.

Raised off the grid by an anti-government group, Skye Hamilton puts her resourcefulness and survival training to good use taking the dangerous tasks nobody else wants. When a job searching for a runaway teen brings Redemption Club members gunning for her, putting those she cares about in danger, she’ll risk everything to fight the enemy. Including her heart.

Jared Bennigan, Las Vegas bodyguard to the elite, accepted his latest job hoping it would lead to his missing sister. All evidence points to his client as the last person to have seen her, but he’s not the only one looking for a woman who disappeared. Skye’s enticing blue eyes contradict her tough, distrusting exterior, revealing an intriguing combination of vulnerability and intelligence. But those eyes are watching his client—through her rifle’s scope.

To find both missing women, Jared will need to convince Skye—who plays a wicked game of hard-to-get—to be his partner. And with the Redemption Club intent on making Skye the prey in a human hunting expedition, her skills, and her trust in Jared, will be put to the test. It’s the ultimate game of survival of the fittest. But who will win?

Kathy Crouch’s NaNoWriMo novel, Wounded SEAL, is already over 30,000 words. Hopefully by Friday it will be 40,000. She’s going for 100K this month!

And Jenna Bennett finished the first draft of her 30th book on Wednesday. It’s the 11th book in the Savannah Martin mystery series, called ADVERSE POSSESSION, and it will be released on December 15th, after she has – hopefully – had time to edit it and smooth out the rough patches.

And that’s what we have this week. Have a good weekend, and avoid black cats and ladders today.
