Lucy Kincaid wants a simple life with a white picket fence, but after Jens crashes into her life, she knows that won’t be in the cards.

Still reeling from the deaths of her family, Lucy Kincaid struggles to get her life back on track. But when the short-tempered Jens saves her from an attack, Lucy is swept away to a world that seems infinitely more perilous.

Suddenly, fairytale creatures are no longer make-believe–and more dangerous than she ever imagined. As Lucy delves deeper into this fantastical realm, she encounters oversized garden gnomes, warrior elves, Nøkken, Fossegrimens, and worst of all, sirens with a vendetta. When her life on earth is utterly destroyed, Lucy knows there is no going back. Lucy must hunt down the siren who is targeting everyone she loves, or all of Undraland will go up in flames.

This is the first box set in the 9-part Undraland series, which contains Undraland, Nøkken and Fossegrim.

If you love Veronica Roth, Bella Forrest and Cassandra Clare, you’ll devour this fast-paced paranormal romance series by USA Today bestselling author Mary E. Twomey.

Space travel is so overrated.

Bounty hunting isn’t any better, but it’s what Sloane Tarnish needs to do if she wants to fix the rundown spaceship her uncle dumped on her. So she can find him and dump it right back.

Problem A: Her uncle also ditched his motley crew–made up of a cranky ace pilot and an extraneous mad scientist–and they don’t exactly see her as the captain.

Problem B: Her ship’s too broken to leave the most dangerous system in the galaxy, where a recent power vacuum is turning the place into one orbiting cluster of fugitives, thugs, and swindlers.

When Sloane sets her sights on a bounty with a reward that will solve all her problems, the Commander of the Galactic Fleet himself shows up in pursuit of the same man. The last thing Sloane needs is to get tangled in a web of galactic politics–but she won’t let her prize go, either. The payoff is just too big to give up.But as dangers close in on all sides, she can’t help wondering if she’ll live to claim her prize…

Chaos Zone is the first installment in a new space opera series full of reckless women, messy worlds, and big adventures–perfect for fans of Guardians of the Galaxy and the Mandalorian. Order your copy of Chaos Zone now!

Noemi never wanted to be a rebel leader…
…but like any spacer, she rarely gets what she wants.

It’s hard enough being the only female cargo foreman on Aikkan Station. Sure, Noemi can pilot a mech with the best of them, and her team is made up of the finest mech pilots she could find. But when their boss runs afoul of the most ambitious Council Prince in the system, the repercussions are deadly—and they land squarely on Noemi’s shoulders.

Accused of murder and in possession of an impenetrable secret, Noemi and her team are suddenly rebels on the run. Trapped on a stolen freighter and surrounded by the enemy fleet, their only hope is to plan a daring rescue right into the heart of enemy territory: the planet Aquitania. With only their mechs as weapons, they must stage a daring rescue. If they fail, they’re as good as dead. If they succeed, they could alter the balance of power throughout the system… and maybe even the entire Empire.

A rebel leader, her unlikely team, and a handful of modified cargo mechs are all that stand between freedom… or certain death.

Flint thought that growing up in the dangerous frontier town of Far Enough, with six older brothers, would prepare her for anything…until she met the monster.

She had worked hard for a chance to study at the School for Wizards and Weirdlings, but things went sideways when fearsome magic turned her world inside out. Seeing a cruel injustice, Flint took a stand to protect the life of a dangerous creature.

The ensuing complications could set her against some powerful people. She’ll need a lot more than a strong back and an honest heart to survive the repercussions of her good intentions. Not sure of who might be her allies or enemies, she’ll have to learn to survive by a very different set of rules or suffer the dire consequences.

Kill a man and you’re a murderer. Kill a million and you’re a statesman. Dirk should have killed more people.

Dirriken Friedel used his aristocratic connections to rescue his troops. He didn’t plan on starting a war or killing them himself. Now he spends his days in jail, waiting for an assassin sent by his dead officers families to end his misery.

When he’s broken out by off-duty marines he has a chance to start over, if he’s worthy. During his ramshackle escape he collects a broken-down trading ship, a bitter former army officer, a genetically altered religious fanatic, a runaway ingenue, a sham engineer, and a murderous femme fatal. Pursed by a fanatical imperial tribune bent on bloody justice, can he keep the crew from killing each other, the ship from exploding, and himself from the bottom of a bottle. Or would it be easier just to give up?

If you like Galactic Empires, honorable enemies, and snappy dialog, this one’s for you.
