Okay look, we all deserve one great nemesis in this world, maybe two. Hell, my sister stays in my top spot. But is it too much to ask that my best friend’s big brother, NOT be one of them?
Bonus points, he’s also my boss.
The Rogues Division is a top-secret, highly-classified, “I’d tell you but I’d have to kill you” kind of organization. The kind of organization the government pretends not to love having at its disposal. And Gabe Webb sits at the top of this badassery mountain.
I’ve finally gotten control-freak, too serious Gabe to respect me after six long years of his scowling and brooding at me with the occasional growl thrown in.
But when I get assigned a deep cover operation as a billionaire asset’s pretend girlfriend, suddenly Gabe doesn’t trust me to manage the assignment on my own and goes so far as to assign himself as my handler.
That’s right. Every breath I take, every move I make, he’ll be watching and judging, and…coaching me on how to seduce and work an asset.
That’s right…I said SEDUCE! I should probably mention that past me, who wasn’t too bright, might have had a thing for Gabe. Not that he ever noticed.
Can I suffer Gabe’s seduction lessons, work the asset for intel and oh, keep my sister out of trouble? Absolutely. No problem. Can I do it without murdering above stated nemesis? That remains to be seen.
The Spy (Gentlemen Rogues Book 4) by Nana Malone- $.99 for a limited time.
A tech-savvy spy is out to save the day—and conquer her fear of dating—in this “James Bond-meets Austin-Powers” romantic comedy (Publishers Weekly).
Beautiful, brilliant, and painfully shy, Jane Spyrus loves gadgets. As an agent for the spy organization B.L.I.S.S., she has invented countless new tools for the global fight against crime. Not that her fellow agents are putting them to use. Some of them find her work a little too . . . well, innovative. Like her shrink-wrap condoms or her spray-on truth serum.
Of course, you can’t use wacky inventions to fix all your problems; Jane knows that better than anyone. Her neighbor has been kidnapped, driving that point home. She will have to team up with another human being—and Abel Andretti arrives just in time. He will help Jane find her neighbor, stop a villain, and, most of all, he will show Jane how to love the daylights out of something without batteries.

Valente.
A gruesome curse. A city in upheaval. A monster with unquenchable appetites.
Marlinchen and her two sisters live with their wizard father in a city shifting from magic to industry. As Oblya’s last true witches, she and her sisters are little more than a tourist trap as they treat their clients with archaic remedies and beguile them with nostalgic charm. Marlinchen spends her days divining secrets in exchange for rubles and trying to placate her tyrannical, xenophobic father, who keeps his daughters sequestered from the outside world. But at night, Marlinchen and her sisters sneak out to enjoy the city’s amenities and revel in its thrills, particularly the recently established ballet theater, where Marlinchen meets a dancer who quickly captures her heart.
As Marlinchen’s late-night trysts grow more fervent and frequent, so does the threat of her father’s rage and magic. And while Oblya flourishes with culture and bustles with enterprise, a monster lurks in its midst, borne of intolerance and resentment and suffused with old-world power. Caught between history and progress and blood and desire, Marlinchen must draw upon her own magic to keep her city safe and find her place within it.
