Scandal of Love (Scandals & Secrets - Book 1)
A novella of 32,000 words (about 128 pages).
Lady
Sera Winters was determined to marry for love--or not at all. Close to
receiving a proposal from the Duke of Wathersby, Sera’s reputation is
ruined after a rumor spreads through the ton that she had been
compromised by Lord Devericks--and in a library no less!
Lord
Quinton Devericks, the Earl of Surrant, never thought inheriting his
father’s title would leave him destitute, but the gambling debts his
father had accumulated did just that. Desperate, he decides to take
advantage of the gossip surrounding him and Lady Sera, a woman he has
never met. Hoping that her ample dowry would be enough to repair his
neglected estates, Quinton risks everything on yet another gamble: a
proposal of marriage.
With their lives in shambles, they agree to
the only recourse left to them: to convince the ton that their
scandalous interlude was a marriage proposal, and that their engagement
is based off of love. When a vicious plot against Sera is revealed, she
doesn’t know who she can trust. Is Sera’s love for Quinton true, or is
she only caught up in a scandal of love?
Includes an excerpt from Masquerade Secrets, the second book in the Scandals & Secrets series.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- A Triple Thriller Fest by Gordon Ryan, Michael Wallace, Philip Chen
State of Rebellion; Falling Star; State of Siege
Authors Michael Wallace, Gordon Ryan, and Philip Chen
bring you a three volume thriller set that explores the world of this
genre from entirely different, but equally exciting, webs of intrigue,
deceit, murder, and mayhem. Michael starts off with a thriller set in
the arcane world of antiquities and the schemes that brazen collectors
will weave to possess what is not rightfully theirs. Gordon follows with
a modern tale of political intrigue written as if it just might be
happening at this very minute. Philip brings up the end of the set with a
very realistic science fiction thriller that leaves you wondering if it
just might be true.
In Michael Wallace's State of Siege,
Tess Burgess, an expert in medieval warfare, is building siege engines
in France, while running a sting operation against collectors of stolen
artifacts. Obsessed with the collapse of civilization, Tess' ex-fiancée
Peter's latest grandiose scheme is a simulated war, like a giant
paintball match for billionaire survivalists, but with crossbows and
catapults. He asks Tess if she is good enough to defend an actual castle
against medieval siege engines. One of the world's most notorious
artifact collectors will be on hand with his own ideas. With these
participants, will the play war turn into the real thing?
Gordon Ryan's State of Rebellion
is a fast-paced political thriller that could have easily been lifted
out of today's news. California is on the brink of secession, and those
who oppose this drastic political maneuver are turning up dead. Federal
Agent Nicole Bentley is sent to discover what she can about the movement
and meets up with Assemblyman and National Guard JAG officer Daniel
Rawlings, whose commitment to his country runs deep in his blood.
Resisting their mutual attraction, they uncover a plot devised by greedy
men bent on taking power at any cost. Nicole and Dan find themselves
literally in the crossfire between secessionists and those who want to
preserve the union.
In Falling Star, Philip Chen
takes you on a journey from the abyss to the beautiful deserts of the
American Southwest as his hero Mike Liu attempts to crack the secrets of
huge mysterious objects buried deep in the ocean. Unfortunately someone
wants him dead and he must fight for his life. On top of all this, Mike
learns that a revered friend has died. Will the death of Mike's friend
mean that the secrets of the enigmatic structures will remain forever
buried in the silt and muck of the ocean deep?
So without more ado, Michael, Gordon and Philip bring you A Triple Thriller Fest.
