The Ninja Prince And The Investigator

A prince hiding from the truth. A female athlete trying to protect him. Can Ellery save Prince Derek and his family or will she only lose her heart? Prince Derek has thrown his heart into the American Ninja Warrior circuit after he lost his beloved mother. He knew he couldn't stay in Augustine and face his own pain or his family's. When he meets the beautiful and tough Ellery Monson in the competition, it's love at first sight for him. Ellery flirts with him, but turns down every date offer. As they work together and become fast friends, Derek falls even more in love with her, but Ellery remains distant. How can Derek break through her walls? Ellery Monson, the top female warrior, is tough on the outside, but about to break inside. She is in desperate straits with all the medical bills and expensive medications her mom needs, watching her mom suffer and decline, not to mention head over heels for Prince Derek, but she can never reveal that. Ellery has never taken a handout in her life and is determined to push through alone. There's no way this Cinderella story is ever happening--she could never be a match for the perfect prince. Prince Derek invites Ellery to attend his brother Ray's wedding with him in Augustine and at first, Ellery declines. Then, a duplicitous woman convinces her to change her mind and accompany Derek under the pretense of protecting him from the murderous Hattie Ballard. Derek is ecstatic to finally have a chance with Ellery. And Ellery, determined to protect Derek, is blown away by how right it feels to be with him and wonders if maybe her Cinderella wish could come true. Little does Ellery know, she's only a pawn. The danger she's bringing to Derek's family could upend the royals of Augustine and break Derek's heart. Can Derek and Ellery outwit the threats, or will Ellery's love be Prince Derek's downfall?

Previously published; newly revised by author I like my women like I like my whiskey: liable to kill me. The two parts of being a paranormal private investigator I could really do without are being forced to eat bananas by an animated statue with a potassium fixation, and being put on trial for murder by a self-appointed council of vampire oligarchs. To be fair, I did kind of do it (the murder, not the bananas). But I was kind of saving my girlfriend, who is kind of one of them. On top of this, I’ve also wound up with a primordial queen of the damned trying to strangle me in my dreams. And the conspiracy of undead wizards who tried to sacrifice me fifteen years ago has decided that now is the best possible time to give it another go. Throw in the woman who left me for a tech start-up, the old girlfriend who I might sort of owe eternal mystical fealty to and a werewolf “it girl” who can’t decide if she wants to eat me in the good way or the bad way, and I’m beginning to think life would be easier if I made better choices. Then again, it’d be a whole lot less fun. This book is approximately 98,000 words

As Steffan remains by her side, determined to help, she begins to fall for him, but Hattie knows she could never ask him to leave everything he loves.

When a beautiful and intriguing young woman comes under his care at the hospital, she lights a fire in him and gets under his skin in the most appealing way. Despite the suspicious circumstances of her accident, Steffan is drawn to Hattie, and finds himself longing to heal her, protect her, and love her. But how can he convince her to trust him? Hattie wishes the true murderer could be exposed and she could give her broken heart to the handsome prince. But if there's one thing Hattie Ballard has learned over the years: happily ever after will never happen for her.

Describes the history and philosophy of the Ninja, looks at their traditional weapons and tactics, and demonstrates stances, punches, and throws.

No indiscriminate killing. There are rules that make being Fog City’s Prince of Killers bearable. The rules Hawes Madigan lives by. Soon, he’ll be king—of an organization of assassins—and the crown has never felt heavier. Until the mysterious Dante Perry swaggers into his life. No collateral damage. Dante looks like a rock god and carries himself like one too. But there’s more than meets the eye beneath those loose limbs and casual confidence. He also carries a concealed weapon, a private investigator’s license, and a message for the prince—someone inside Hawes’s organization is out to kill the future king. No unvetted targets. In the chaos that follows the timely warning, Hawes comes to depend on Dante. On his skills as an investigator, on the steadiness he offers, and on their moments alone when Hawes lets Dante take control. As alliances are tested and traitors exposed, Hawes needs Dante at his back... and in his bed. But if the PI ever learns Hawes’s darkest secret, it’s not heartbreak he’ll have to worry about—but a bullet to the brain instead. There’s no shortage of twists and turns in this MM romantic suspense trilogy from Layla Reyne. Prince of Killers is book one of three. Fair warning: buckle up, cliffhangers ahead!

"First rule in this line of business: don't sleep with the client." My name's Kate Kane, and when an eight-hundred-year-old vampire prince came to me with a case, I should have told her no. But I've always been a sucker for a femme fatale. It always goes the same way. You move too fast, you get in too deep, and before you know it, someone winds up dead. Last time it was my partner. This time it could be me. Yesterday a werewolf was murdered outside the Velvet, the night-time playground of one of the most powerful vampires in England. Now half the monsters in London are at each other's throats, and the other half are trying to get in my pants. The Witch Queen will protect her own, the wolves are out for vengeance, and the vampires are out for, y'know, blood. I've got a killer on the loose, a war on the horizon, and a scotch on the rocks. It's going to be an interesting day.

New Orleans, and Vic Willing, Assistant District Attorney for the prosecutors' office, has been missing since Hurricane Katrina hit. Called in from San Francisco is Claire DeWitt, a detective whose expertise and methods derive from some unique sources. What Claire discovers takes us into the heart of the crime-ravaged, deeply wounded city, where those who can afford it live behind fences and those who can't are slain daily on the streets. And it's there she discovers that the only thing worse than an unsolved case, maybe, is a solved one. From the acclaimed author of Dope and Come Closer, City of the Dead is the first novel of a detective series unlike any you have read before, one that is sure to inspire a passionate and devoted following. Only a writer with a life as unusual as Sara Gran's - she was in New York City on 9/11/2001 and evacuated from her home in New Orleans on 8/29/2005 - could have written such an extraordinary look at modern-day New Orleans.
