What happens when you have to fake date your childhood enemy?
I never thought I’d hire someone to pretend to be my boyfriend, but despite being twenty-five and the CEO of my own tech company, I haven’t had much success in my love life. When I’m faced with being dateless for my company retreat, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Unfortunately, the universe decides it’s a great time to play the ultimate prank as my fake date turns out to be none other than Liam Jamieson, my life-long nemesis. Liam grew up next door to me and is the definition of Mr. All American Jock. Our childhoods were an endless cycle of pranks and one-upmanship against each other.
Now we have to pretend we’re in love? This is going to be a complete disaster.
Or is it?
Because it turns out Liam and I have both grown up since high school. And maybe, just maybe, we never actually knew each other.

Places in the Darkness
Sci-Fi · Hard Sci-Fi · Techno-Thriller
Our take
A brutal murder aboard a space station fractures the fragile promise of humanity’s future in orbit.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Murder on a space station threatens humanity's future among the stars and forces an unlikely duo to investigate in this science fiction mystery.
Hundreds of miles above Earth, the space station Ciudad de Cielo—the "City in the Sky"—is a beacon of hope for humanity's expansion into the stars. But not everyone aboard shares such noble ideals.
Bootlegging, booze, and prostitution form a lucrative underground economy for rival gangs, which the authorities are happy to turn a blind eye to until a disassembled corpse is found dancing in the micro-gravity.
In charge of the murder investigation is Nikki "Fix" Freeman, who is not thrilled to have Alice Blake, an uptight government goody-two-shoes, riding shotgun. As the bodies pile up, and the partners are forced to question their own memories, Nikki and Alice begin to realize that gang warfare may not be the only cause for the violence . . .

About the book
"A remarkable, razor-sharp debut that cuts straight to the heart."―Chelsea Abdullah, author of The Stardust Thief
A fugitive queen strikes a bargain with her greatest enemy that could resurrect her scorched kingdom or leave it in ashes forever in this unmissable, slow-burn, Egyptian-inspired epic fantasy debut.
Ten years ago, the kingdom of Jasad burned. Its magic was outlawed. Its royal family murdered. At least, that’s what Sylvia wants people to believe. The Heir of Jasad escaped the massacre, and she intends to stay hidden, especially from the armies of Nizahl that continue to hunt her people.
But a moment of anger changes everything. When Arin, the Nizahl Heir, tracks a group of Jasadi rebels to her village, Sylvia accidentally reveals her magic—and captures his attention. Now Sylvia’s forced to make a deal with her greatest enemy: Help him hunt the rebels in exchange for her life.
A deadly game begins. Sylvia can’t let Arin discover her identity, even as hatred shifts into something more between the Heirs. And as the tides change around her, Sylvia will have to choose between the life she wants and the one she abandoned.
The scorched kingdom is rising, and it needs a queen.
Praise for The Jasad Heir:
"Will have you turning pages in a frenzy." ―Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun
"The type of mythological and romantic tale you would bargain your last breath for... A book that coils you into its serpentine grasp." ―Observer

About the book
The tall alien’s eyes flashed. That was the only warning I got. He charged at me, throwing my crew mates aside as if they were nothing.
In that moment, I was certain he would kill me.
But no death blow came. Instead, he spoke, his deep voice heavily accented, each word like stone slabs falling into place.
“You are mine.”
Clay
I don't ask for much from life; I get paid, and then I get laid. And piloting spaceships across the galaxy keeps my solo lifestyle well funded. I don't need a relationship or any of the baggage that comes with it. I like my men like I like my coffee; to go.
That is, until the most boring job in the universe goes horribly wrong and I’m snatched from my ship by a seven-foot alien. He's huge, he's purple, and he's ripped as hell. I'm sure I'm a dead man.
Only it turns out he doesn't want to kill me. What he wants is far worse.
Arcay
I am the Second; Aldar royalty, the right hand of our leader. I live a half life. On my planet, alphas and omegas are believed to be two halves of a soul. But Omegas are a rare treasure, all but extinct, and I have resigned myself to never knowing the joy of a soul bond.
But that all changes the moment I step onto the human ship. By some miracle, their pilot is an unclaimed omega. It does not matter that he is a different species, I have to have him.
That should be my happy ending; omegas are supposed to be meek, obedient, and willing. Clay is anything but. He resists me at every turn. I must bend him to my will before his potent pheromones draw every unmated alpha on the ship–my rank will only hold them back for so long.
