Cruise
Into Jeopardy
Emily Wade-Reid
At fifty-two, Raven LaCroste’s thirty-year monogamous relationship ends with the death of her husband. Raven reverts to the celibacy of her youth until she learns her writing group is sponsoring a cruise. Considering cruises to be prime playgrounds for the sexually hopeful, she signs up. First night at sea, she encounters Jamal Whitaker, a player, and the perfect choice for test-driving her rekindled sexuality, but their night together ends abruptly, and an acrimonious quarrel ensues. Next morning, there is an attempt on her life. Hours later, there is a second attempt. No longer an exercise in sexual exploration, the cruise has become a workout in survival skills. Her distrust of the regular members in her group has Raven confiding in a new member, Anthony Corbett. A criminal law attorney with a background in law enforcement, Raven enlists Anthony’s help, unaware he has his own agenda for coming to her aid.

Treachery
M. E. Reid
Ewyn Kelley Calderone is a domestic violence survivor. Devin Piers Nilsson is his savior. After a two-year rollercoaster ride of fear, deception, murder, and heartache, Devin’s unconditional love helps Ewyn reclaim his self-esteem, and he feels indomitable. Conversely, self-doubt resurfaces when a late-night caller informs him of an accident involving both nieces, and he learns one of the girls is pregnant. Both girls die as a result of their injuries, but the baby survives. Because of the disappearance of his brother, the child’s grandfather, and the baby’s father being an unknown, all responsibility for the baby falls on Ewyn.
Then Ewyn learns his nieces were murdered. He fears the baby, heir to Calderone millions, will be the next target, and he realizes more than parenting skills are needed to sustain the child’s welfare. Unaware the perpetrator watches from the shadows, Ewyn, Devin, and friends in law enforcement struggle to solve the mystery of the baby’s father, unravel the deception of the girls’ lives, and stop the murderer before the baby becomes another tragic statistic.

Revenge is awesome.
In the mid-nineteen sixties, the gang structure of
Philadelphia is similar to the feudal systems of old. Marissa
Wells, a young black catholic, is caught up in that structure. Her
allegiance to the gang forges enemies and perpetuates deep-rooted
hatreds that culminate in her brutal rape, and she’s left to die.
However, Marissa is a survivor and she retaliates. Regrettably,
her vengeance goes awry, leaving her enemy alive but wounded, setting
into motion an unrelenting resolve for revenge. Years later, thinking
her violent adolescence is history, Marissa soon realizes her past is
being revisited when one of three men begins to stalk her. Is it
the man she tried to kill, the man she threatened to have killed, or the
man she shamelessly humiliated? Not content to destroy only Marissa,
her nemesis goes after her family. Marissa realizes she has lost her
edge, and to save her family, she reverts to her old ways. She
sets herself up as bait, knowing it will mean the forfeiture of her
life, but what choice does she have. After all, it’s now clear to
her, revenge never ends until all the players are dead.
