The Third Rule (Eddie Collins Book 1)

When you’re accused of murder, you’d better hide, run, or fight.
The Third Rule is England’s new infallible capital punishment. But absolute proof of guilt is no longer required, so there’s a queue at the Slaughter House doors.
CSI Eddie Collins hasn’t killed anyone, but he knows who has. That’s why he’s on the Slaughter House list, and when a government hunter tracks him down, Eddie has to fight or die.
“If you want to kill serious crime, you have to kill serious criminals.”
Sir George Deacon, Minster of Justice.

The Warrior Trainer (The Stones of Destiny Series Book 1)

Scotia knew her duty: protect the Stone of Destiny at all costs. It was the key to Scotland’s salvation, the reason she’d become the best warrior in the world–as had the generations of women who’d guarded the Stone before her. Yet those women had never been distracted by a man like Ian MacKinnon.

He’d journeyed to her castle to learn her legendary skills so he could exact vengeance against the brutal English mercenaries who’d killed his brother. On the battlefield, Ian wielded his sword with deadly precision. In the bedroom, he became a man of wild passion tempered by infinite tenderness. But soon he would be forced to move on and avenge his clan, leaving Scotia to face a conflict for which she had no training: her duty to the Stone versus her desire to follow her heart.

Never Buried: Volume 1 (Leigh Koslow Mystery Series)

Advertising copywriter Leigh Koslow doesn’t pack heat–just a few extra pounds. And she doesn’t go looking for trouble. When she moved into her cousin Cara’s refurbished Victorian house, she wasn’t planning on discovering a corpse–certainly not one that had been embalmed ten years before. But as anyone in the small Pittsburgh borough of Avalon could tell her, her cousin’s house has a history attached. A history dating back to two mysterious deaths in the summer of 1949.

Someone wants Leigh and Cara out of the house–someone who has something to hide. But that someone doesn’t know Leigh’s impetuous cousin, and when Cara digs her heels in, Leigh looks to her old college chum, local policewoman Maura Polanski, for help. But the answers the trio find only point to more questions. Were the scandalous deaths of fifty years ago really an accident and a suicide? Or were they murder?

Bloodsucker Blues: A Vamps in Vegas Story

Everything you know about vampires is wrong.

I mean, sure, we do drink blood. And yes, we have fangs, (Have you ever tried to pierce the skin on someone’s neck without them? Okay, probably not, but trust me, it’s next to impossible.) And, yes, a stake to the heart will kill us, but to quote a popular animated movie, “Who wouldn’t that kill?” Other than that, a good old-fashioned beheading will pretty much do it, but not much else.

Everything else you’ve learned from Hollywood and fiction about vampires? It’s generally… well, complete bullshit.

For example, sunlight? Listen, I don’t want to spend any more time in it than I have to, but mostly exposure to sunlight just feels like a bad rash. It doesn’t kill us. Some of us with higher pain thresholds have even taken up tanning. It’s a trend in vampire culture lately. We call it “sunfanging.”

The Riddle of the Sands

Charles Carruthers is languishing in the crushing heat of a London summer when an old university chum named Davies throws him a lifeline, inviting him on a yachting expedition in the North Sea. It sounds like a lark, but Carruthers finds that the Dulcibella is hardly a yacht, and Davies’s trip is no pleasure cruise. Off the coast of the mysterious Frisian Islands, he has spotted a German fleet, supposedly engaged in hunting for buried treasure. Battling the elements, the two Englishmen find themselves surrounded by the German navy, which is using the fogs of the North Sea to disguise something monstrous—the Kaiser’s plot to launch a sneak attack on the British Isles.

Published more than a decade before World War I began, this groundbreaking spy novel inspired a young Winston Churchill to reinvigorate Britain’s naval defenses, and it remains just as stirring today.

The Cole Trilogy: The Physician, Shaman, and Matters of Choice

In The Physician, an orphan in eleventh-century London, Robert Cole, becomes a fast-talking swindler. As he matures, his strange gift—an acute sensitivity to impending death—never leaves him, and he yearns to become a healer. Arab madrassas are the only authentic medical schools, and he makes his perilous way to Persia. Christians are barred from Muslim schools, but by claiming he is a Jew, he studies under the world’s most renowned physician, Avicenna. Cole’s journey and love for a woman who must struggle against her only rival—medicine—make The Physician a riveting modern classic.
In Shaman, Dr. Robert Judson Cole, nineteenth-century descendent of the first Robert Cole, travels from his ravaged Scottish homeland, through the operating rooms of antebellum Boston, to the cabins of frontier Illinois. In the wilderness he befriends the starving remnants of the Sauk tribe, who have fled their reservation. In the process, he absorbs their culture and learns native remedies that enrich his classical medical education.
