Murder has crashed the party, so justice won’t wait for an invitation.

Champagne, caviar… and a corpse. This high-society party wasn’t meant to end in murder. When my brother calls me to investigate the brutal stabbing of a female ogre at the charity ball of the season, the glittering magical elite quickly become a sea of suspects.

Everyone who’s anyone was there, but glamour has given way to something far darker. Someone’s playing a deadly game, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s my job to cut through the beauty and lies to find a killer hiding among the rich and powerful.

As a police inspector with the Connection, I’ve seen plenty of strange things, but this case reeks of entitlement, secrets, and old money with something to hide. Then the King of the Ogres storms in. Furious and formidable, he demands justice. Stopping him from tearing through the guest list is almost as hard as keeping my mind on the case, because rage and power look annoyingly good on him.

But when a dryad turns up dead at another elite event, I realise I’m chasing a serial killer who thinks they’re too rich to face consequences… and they’re setting my brother up to take the fall.

With a rookie partner finding his feet and my talking-bird sidekick offering sharp advice (and sharper insults), I’m racing against the clock to solve the case before my brother faces the lethal justice of the Other realm…

His music melts hearts, but is it enough to win a second chance at love, and the trust of his newfound son?

Rockabilly star Cash Law grew up as plain old Charles Lawrence, raised on a dairy farm in small town Sugarville Grove, Vermont. He milked the cows at dawn and spent his days in school tapping his feet to the signature mix of blues and rock that would one day make him famous.

Halfway to stardom, he fell madly in love, sight-unseen, with a girl in an online music forum he only knew as Sweet_Jane. But he tragically lost touch with her before they ever met in real life. And no amount of searching allowed him to track her down.

So, Cash threw himself into his rockstar lifestyle for a little while, trying to forget her.

Now it seems those wild days had consequences.

Years later, a viral social media post breaks the news that he may have a newly orphaned, teenage son he never knew about.

Cash drops everything and rushes back to Vermont to find out if it’s true. When he finds himself face-to-face with Sweet_Jane at last, it seems like fate.

But things aren’t always what they seem…

Lena Griffin thought she had it all—glamorous job, gorgeous home, picture-perfect marriage. But at nearly forty, her life is unraveling fast. Divorcing, disillusioned, and questioning everything, she needs a reset. Not another relationship. Definitely not love.

Enter Josh. Twenty-eight, insanely hot, and a pro volleyball player with a body built for sin and a smile that could wreck a woman on sight. Their chemistry is instant. Off-the-charts. Completely unexpected.

Their fling is supposed to be temporary, just a little fun to shake off the dust. But Josh surprises her. He’s grounded, kind, and somehow exactly what she didn’t know she needed.

He’s younger. She’s cautious. And they’re both playing way out of bounds.

But when passion turns into something deeper, Lena has to decide if she’s brave enough to risk her heart on the kind of love that doesn’t play by the rules.

S.L. Hannah is a romance author known for writing fierce, flawed women treading unchartered territory. S.L. Hannah was born in Poland, grew up in Canada, and moved to Southern California to pursue her love of single-engine airplanes. When she’s not writing fiction she continues to solve the aviation problems of the world.

At first, I thought it was just paranoia.

It wouldn’t be the first time, after all. Ever since that night two years ago, I’ve never felt completely safe. So I convinced myself the strange sense of being watched was all in my head. My PTSD flaring up just as it had in the past.

Then I was nearly run off the road on my way home from work, and as much as I wished it was just a coincidence, I knew it wasn’t.

I could go to the police, but I wanted someone I trusted to help me.

So I called Rafe. My brother’s former teammate and best friend. And—though I’d never let on for a second—the man who’d held my heart ever since I met him.

As soon as Eden told me she was in trouble, I dropped everything to help her.

“Maybe it’s nothing,” she told me. “But things have been happening.”

I didn’t need to hear more. If Eden needed me, I would be there. And if someone was bothering her, I’d teach them that they messed with the wrong woman. Because as a bounty hunter and former Green Beret, I’m the last person they want to piss off.

When I arrive in Portland to find Eden terrified and in danger, every protective instinct comes roaring to the surface. And I’m furious that someone would dare try to hurt her.

I’m not the white knight I always thought Eden deserved. Far from it. But I’m a dangerous man when someone I care about is threatened. And Eden? I’ll do anything to protect her.

Protected from Malice is a slow burn friends-to-lovers story with a morally grey hero who’ll do anything to protect the people he loves, a brave and intelligent heroine, a team of Army veterans, thrilling twists, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed!

Review by Twinsie Melinda
I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

In the beginning I thought Eden was going to be a meek quite character but that was not the case I learned that when she was trying to get away from who ever was chasing her one night. Eden is actually one of the stronger characters I have read in a while with everything she has been through. I absolutely loved Rafe really one phone call and he was on his way to help his former teammate and best friends’ sister. He was amazing with Eden even helping her with panic attacks. The way all the guys are with Eden was amazing especially when she was telling them everything that happened to her.

Eden has been holding in what happed to her in the past. She doesn’t want to burden her brother, Indy, as he is dealing with his own issues. There is Rafe who she has had her eyes set on for a long time but there can be nothing there because he is her brother’s best friend. Rafe will send Eden text messages or make the occasional call to check in but she has a feeling he does it because he feels he has to not because he wants to. The Chemistry between these two was incredible.

We get to see new characters in this book and I would love to know more about all of them. This was a wonderful start to a new series I cannot wait to read more about this group.

Wine isn’t the only thing aging in Stone Bridge—secrets are, too.

After nearly two decades chasing adventure across the globe, Riley Callahan never expected to return to Stone Bridge, California. But when her father dies under suspicious circumstances, she has no choice but to face the ghosts of her past—both the family she left behind and the man who broke her heart.

Her homecoming is anything but welcoming. Tension with her siblings runs high, old wounds refuse to heal, and the town she once longed to escape still holds its secrets close. None more so than Bryson Boone, the boy she once loved who is now the successful owner of Stone Bridge Winery. He’s built a life rooted deep in the land she abandoned—one that’s now tangled in the mystery of her father’s death.

As Riley searches for answers, she unearths long-buried truths about her family and the town itself, uncovering a past darker than she ever imagined. And the more she digs, the clearer it becomes—someone doesn’t want her to find the truth.

With danger closing in and old passions reigniting, Riley must decide if she’s still the girl who runs… or if it’s finally time to stand her ground, fight for the truth, and maybe even risk her heart.
