To Brie or Not To Brie
by Avery AamesMurder, revenge, and secrets: Shakespeare has arrived in Providence, Ohio... Charlotte Bessette--owner of Fromagerie Bessette, known by locals as The Cheese Shop--has a lot on her plate: setting a date with her fiancé, feeding the actors in her grandmother's production of Hamlet, and planning the menu for her best friend and cousin's upcoming wedding. At least her new creation--sinfully delicious Brie blueberry ice cream--has turned out perfectly. Just days before the wedding, a stranger turns up dead in the Igloo Ice Cream Parlor's freezer, his head bashed with a container of Charlotte's signature ice cream. But this stranger turns out to be more than he seems, and his death threatens to unravel all that Charlotte has worked for. She has no choice but to add one more thing to her to-do list: find the killer before the villain destroys all that she loves.
Bad Behavior
by Celia AaronThey’re hot. They’re ruthless. They’re a**holes.These lawyers are winners in court and cocky in bed. They know what they want and how to get it. But even the most high-powered suit can be brought to his knees. From the author of Kicked and Blackwood comes the the BAD BITCH trilogy by Celia Aaron.Bad BitchThey call me the Bad Bitch. A lesser woman might get her panties in a twist over it, but me? I'm the one who does the twisting. Whether it's in the courtroom or in the bedroom, I've never let anyone - much less a man - get the upper hand.Except for that jerk attorney Lincoln Granade. He's dark, mysterious, smoking hot and sexy as hell. He's nothing but a bad, bad boy playing the part of an up and coming premiere attorney. I'm not worried about losing in a head to head battle with this guy. But he gets me all hot and bothered in a way no man has ever done before. I don't like a person being under my skin this much. It makes me want to let go of all control, makes me want to give in. This dangerous man makes me want to submit to him completely, again, and again, and again...HardassI cave in to no one. My hardass exterior is what makes me one of the hottest defense lawyers around. It's why I'm the perfect guy to defend the notorious Bayou Butcher serial killer - and why I'll come out on top.Except this new associate I've hired is unnaturally skilled at putting chinks in my well-constructed armor. Her brazen talk and fiery attitude make me want to take control of her and silence her - in ways that will keep both of us busy till dawn. She drives me absolutely 100% crazy, but I need her for this case. I need her in my bed. I need her to let loose the man within me who fights with rage and loves with scorching desire...Total D*ckI’m your classic skirt chaser. A womanizer. A total d*ck. My reputation is dirtier than a New Orleans street after a Mardi Gras parade. I take unwinnable cases and win them. Where people see defeat, I see a big fat paycheck. And when most men see rejection, it’s because the sexiest woman at the bar has already promised to go home with me.But Scarlett Carmichael is the one person I can’t seem to conquer. This too-cool former debutante has it all—class, attitude, and a body that begs to be worshiped. I’ve never worked with a person like her before—hell, I’ve never played nice with anyone before in my life, and I’m not about to start with her. This woman wasn’t meant to be played nicely with. It’s going to be dirty. It’s going to be hot. She’s about to spend a lot of time with the biggest d*ck in town. And she’s going to love every minute of it…
Agent of Influence
by David AaronA young Wall Street dealmaker named Jayson Lyman gets an assignment. News/Worldweek, the media conglomerate that controls many of the nation's top newspapers, magazines, and TV stations, has been targeted for a takeover by French magnate Marcel Bresson. Beating him should be a snap, says Lyman; no one wants a foreigner running the American press. I hope you're wrong, says his boss--because he's your client. The more Lyman learns, the more shadowy Bresson seems--no fixed address, no financial partners, blanks in his past. Lyman is baffled by him--until he meets Heidi Bruce, deputy director of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who is trying to convince the US government that the Soviets are using advanced intelligence technology to manipulate Western financial markets--and thereby Western governments. With the help of Sean Gordon, maverick CIA agent and Heidi's former lover, they race across Europe, following a trail of deception and death in search of Bresson's true identity, alarming not only the KGB but the CIA and the French Deuxieme Bureau. Convinced that America's biggest press empire may well end up under Soviet control--but unable to convince anyone else but Heidi and Sean--Lyman must choose between the deal of a lifetime and his country's future. Despite his rivalry with Gordon, and with Wall Street and the intelligence services of East and West arrayed against him, he joins with the two others in a desperate plan to stop the Bresson takeover--but even they cannot predict the wild chain of events they will set in motion. As Agent of Influence speeds to its climax, we are swept into a world of exceptional drama and treachery--one that is more fact than fiction.

The first step is to increase the size of the bounty on his head, so he'll need to steal some big things. But he'll start small for now. He'll just steal something that no one will miss - at least for a while. Like a king.
