Let's celebrate all the Amazon Encores being re-released today because...well, they were just that awesome.
A Rose in No-Man's Land by Margaret Tanner
Sister Amy Smithfield is carrying on her family's military
tradition in the only way she can, as an Australian Army nurse. Dedicated to
her calling, she has sworn off interest in men for the duration of the Great
War in Europe. When she literally runs into Mark Tremayne, an English captain
in the Australian army, her real struggle begins. Mark has his own reasons for
keeping any relationship with the opposite sex in the casual mode, and he
fights to deny his attraction to the petite blonde nurse who stirs his senses
beyond the ordinary. Their battle against love continues from Australia to the
Mediterranean to France. When Amy is captured by German soldiers, Mark realizes
how much she means to him -- but can he overcome pride and find Amy after his
jealous anger pushes her away?
Daughter of Sherwood (The Guardians of
Sherwood Series Book 1) by Laura
Strickland
Raised in the kitchens of Nottingham Castle, Wren has no idea
she is the daughter of the legendary Robin Hood until she is summoned to
Sherwood Forest. Since Robin's death many years before, the resistance against
Norman tyranny has been upheld by a magical triad, but now one of the guardians
has died. With two young men, Sparrow and Martin, Wren must form a new triad
with a bond strong enough to defend Sherwood's magic. To one of them, she will
also give her heart. From the moment Wren bursts into his life, Sparrow loves
her. But he knows she may choose his lifelong rival, Martin, as her mate. Martin
wants Wren also, but Sparrow fears Martin is driven not by love but by
ambition. When Martin is captured and held at Nottingham Castle, will the
conflict between love and duty destroy the triad?
Dawn of a Dark Knight by Zoe Forward
In the shadows of our world, a secret band of warriors fights
to protect us. They are the last line of defense against an evil no human can
stop. An ancient nemesis has resurfaced. Duty demands that Ashor Vlahos,
Scimitar Magi commander, recruit a magical healer to fortify the remaining
eight magi. The gods' choice is the woman who helped him escape torture a
decade ago. Ashor couldn't have imagined a better punishment for his
vow-breaker homicidal incidents than for the gods to bind him irrevocably to
the only woman in the universe he cannot have. The soul-searing desire she
ignites in him is strictly forbidden. Kira Hardy, M.D. is a brilliant,
hardworking internal med resident with big secrets. But when Ashor asks for aid
after a brutal daemon attack, she is sucked into his dangerous, secret world.
Enslavement to the magi, no matter how hot they are, may be an unattractive
life plan, but being targeted for death by their enemies is less tolerable. She
must trust the sexy, tormented Ashor to keep her safe while he must deny his
ultimate desire and keep Kira at arm's length lest he bring destruction down on
them both. As a centuries-old evil catches up to them, they face a crucial
decision--follow the gods' rules or follow their hearts.
Death Stretch by Ashantay
Peters
She's leery of overprotective
men--he's sworn to protect and serve. When Katie Sheridan's best friend is
blackmailed over an affair with a yoga instructor, Katie stuffs herself into workout
togs to help identify suspects. Instead of getting fit, she learns yoga can be
a killer when the instructor winds up dead. Worse, Katie is a suspect, and
finds herself tangling with the sexy, commanding cop investigating the case.
Detective Dirk Johnson knows getting involved with a material
witness--especially one as reckless as Katie--means trouble, but his heart and
protective instincts aren't logical. More than once, she rescues herself just
before he arrives to save the day. Dirk's not sure he can keep up with her, but
he'll go down trying. Blackmail, murder, and adultery teach Katie and Dirk that
love obeys its own laws. With passion as the final reward, they find fighting
temptation is highly overrated.
Forgotten in Darkness (Scimitar Magi
Series Book 2) by Zoe
Forward
After an unjustified two-century stint in purgatory, Scimitar
Magus Dakar returns to the human realm, renewing his eons-old curse. Either he
or the woman he loves must murder the other within days of meeting in each new
lifetime. To break the vicious cycle, he must kill her before she strikes her
deathblow, something he's never done in the past. Archaeology grad student Shay
McGinnis suffers a near-death attack in pursuit of a piece of Scimitar Magi
lore. But did the magnificent warrior who pinned her to the wall injure her or
the daemon he fought? In her search for answers, she draws the attention of
both an ancient evil sorcerer and the warrior Dakar. The attraction between her
and Dakar is instant, and for Shay confusing. She wants to be with him, but
intuition equates him with death. Not random death. Hers. Will this be the
lifetime they break the curse before they are murdered by an age-old enemy or
worse kill each other yet again?
Framed by Nikki Andrews
When a long-lost painting turns up at Brush & Bevel, a
decade-old mystery is reawakened. What really happened to artist Jerry Berger
and his model Abby Bingham? Was it a murder-suicide, as the police proclaim, or
was it something far more sinister? Gallery owner Ginny Brent and her loyal
staffers, Sue Bradley and Elsie Kimball, each take a different path to unravel
the mystery. Together, their discoveries start to form a cohesive whole. But as
they get closer to the solution, they discover to their horror that art is not
the only thing that can be framed.
Heat Flash by Taylor Anne
When FBI agent Mason Black left Kendall Reed without warning,
it devastated her, but she managed to bounce back. Now on the run from a
maniacal stalker, she must learn to trust the man who betrayed her in the past.
Dealing with his own insecurities and secrets, Mason will do anything to
protect Kendall from the dangerous lunatic terrorizing her. But the bigger
threat may be the one Kendall poses to his heart. Scared of Kendall's reaction
if she learns the truth about him, Mason puts his own problems and emotions on
hold to find her stalker. But when Kendall's life is threatened, he has no
choice but to risk body and soul--and even his heart--to save her.
