No Angel
by Daniel A. KaineBorn with a birth defect called Devil Syndrome, it is impossible for Josh Harper to hide the two small stumps of hornlike bone atop his head. If people also knew about his ability to create force fields with his mind, they'd lock him up for sure. Left to fend for himself on his eighteenth birthday, Josh tries to make it on the streets.

Sam ran away from home a year ago, and the new life he's built for himself includes living in an abandoned house and looking after three younger kids, all with Devil Syndrome. Then along comes Josh. After a rough start their relationship grows and the two young men find a haven in each other's arms. But when tragedy strikes their newfound family, Sam's hatred of regular humans spirals out of control, and Josh will have to make Sam see sense before everything he's worked so hard to build is destroyed.
Dangerous Decisions
by Margaret KaineA dazzling and suspenseful Edwardian romance for fans of Downton Abbey from the award-winning author and “fantastic storyteller” (Woman’s Way). Helena Standish knows that a good marriage would enhance her father’s social status, but she’s wise enough not to accept any handsome fool. The wealthy and enigmatic Oliver Faraday is considered an ideal match, so why does Helena have faint misgivings? Nicholas Carstairs, a young doctor, has little patience with frivolous pleasure-seekers or an upper class that closes ranks against outsiders. Why then is he entranced by the lovely ‘girl in the window’—a debutante who would appear to be both of those things? A champagne celebration at Broadway Manor marks the start of a happy future for Helena, but no one can predict the perilous consequences of her decision or the appalling danger it will bring. “This is a novel to enjoy on a grey winter’s day sitting in front of a cozy fire and with a box of chocolates close by.” —Historical Novel Society
