Night Scourge

by Pippa DaCosta

“You were raised among Dark Ones and each one wants a bite of you.”

Adrift in a strange land and with the Night Station weakening, Lynher has never felt more alone.

Guests are leaving. The Station platform is silent. And there’s nobody left to save.

So when a member of the European resistance wanders in off the street, offering a new life outside the Station, Kensey can’t refuse. But Lynher can. The Dark Ones are circling. The Station is vulnerable. Now is not the time to abandon it.

But the Station has secrets. Secrets that test Lynher’s faith in those she loves, secrets about her, about the Night Station, and about the most dangerous vampire of them all:

Jack.

Lynher cannot leave, but how can she stay when the truth is more terrifying than any monster?

“Guard your soul, dear traveler, for Night is long and the dark is hungry. “

Warping Minds & Other Misdemeanors (The Guild Codex: Warped Book 1)

My name is Kit Morris, and welcome to my warped life.

Picture the scene: Me, an average guy with psychic powers—not that my abilities are in any way average—just trying to scrape by in a harsh world. So maybe I’ve conned a few people, but did I really deserve to be thrown in MPD jail alongside magic-wielding serial killers?

According to Agent Lienna Shen, one-hundred-percent yes.

But her hardass attitude and “Arcana prodigy” status aren’t enough to bring down my former best friend, who slipped through the MPD’s fingers and is days away from unleashing untold horrors upon the city. Or he’s going to steal something. I don’t really know.

Whatever he’s up to, that’s why I’m sitting in an interrogation room with Lienna. And that’s why I just offered myself as her temporary new partner for the purposes of thwarting my ex-accomplice.

And that’s how I’m going to escape. I might even help with the case before I cut and run.

Lost Talismans and a Tequila (The Guild Codex: Spellbound Book 7)

You know that squirmy sensation in your gut when you have no idea what you’re doing and you’re about to screw everything up?

Yeah, that feeling.

I thought I was a good judge of character, but recent events proved me very wrong. Now, in a brilliant demonstration of my newfound caution, I’m putting all my faith in a demon—a demon who’s tried to kill me before. The squirmy feeling is making sense, right?

Unfortunately, I don’t have any other options. Ezra’s time is almost up, which means I need answers and I need them fast. So it’s time to toughen up, pack my gear, and find me one of the most illegal, reviled, and scarce mythics out there: a demon-mage summoner.

And all I have to do is follow a demon’s instructions on where to look. How could that go wrong?

A Damsel and a Demigod (The Guild Codex: Spellbound)

Only one thing matters to Kai: getting the job done, and doing it better than anyone else.

But when a beautiful thief crashes his security gig, claiming she’s trying to protect the valuable artifact he’s guarding, all his careful plans go up in flames. He doesn’t believe a word she says—until the item is stolen right out from under them.

Recovering the artifact before the real thief can unleash its ancient magic requires insider knowledge—information the mysterious trespasser possesses. Teaming up with a stranger isn’t Kai’s idea of smart, but he’ll need all the help he can get to take on a notorious rogue and arcane power from the time of the gods.

Resistance (1000 Revolution Book 6)

Resistance (1000 Revolution Book 6)
by Pippa DaCosta

“This shit is why you always kill the bad guy.”

Wanted dead or alive by the law and every criminal this side of the jump gates, there’s only one place Caleb and his crew can hide:

Jotunheim.

All the crap in the Nine systems washes up there.

With their rustbucket tugship Starkiller about to cough its last space-mile and credits scarce, raiding a few scrappers rigs is a last resort. Scrappers are hard bastards, but then so is Caleb.

Stealing from the bad guys should be easy, if Caleb’s crew can get their shit together. The pressure is on. Trust is a joke. And then there’s One. New and improved but just like her old self? Or not…

One says there’s a revolution brewing, and she’d know.

Synthetics move among us, their strings pulled by a mad man. The Nine Systems teeters on the edge of a war it can’t see coming, and Caleb’s crew might be all that stands in its way.

Sometimes it takes bad guys to kill bad guys, and if Caleb’s crew have learned anything together, it’s how to be bad.

Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped

I thought I understood power.

My parents taught me that magic attracts equal danger, and everything I’ve seen since becoming a demon contractor confirms it. I’ve witnessed how power twists and corrupts–and I’ve tasted power no human should wield.

I thought I knew greed.

Ambition and avarice drove my family into hiding. My parents died for someone else’s greed. I’ve never hunted anything in my life, but now I’m hunting their killer–with my demon’s help.

I thought I’d seen evil.

But with each step closer to my parents’ murderer, I’m uncovering a different sort of evil, piece by hidden piece. I’ve stumbled into an insidious web that silently, secretly ensnares everything it touches. My demon and I came as the hunters…

…but I think we might be the prey.

Good Rules For Living

Bonnie Rocker fled the small town of Bethel Valley on the exhaust cloud of a ’74 Camaro, holding tight to the hand of the local bad boy.

Ten years later, broke, single, and exhausted to her bones, Bonnie and her six-year-old daughter return home for her grandmother’s funeral. As she pulls into the driveway of Rockaway Ranch, she comes face to face with the reason she fled town: Slim Rocker, her mother.

Due to an unexpected stipulation in her grandmother’s will, Bonnie and her daughter must live on the ranch for one year before Bonnie can cash out her inheritance. An entire year spent under Slim’s oppressive rules. “Good rules for living,” she calls them, but Bonnie has always fallen short of their mark.

As if things weren’t complicated enough, Bonnie almost runs over the ranch’s newest hand, Casey Donahue. He is fresh out of prison and caught in the eye of the town’s gossip storm. Nothing adds up with this man, and her mother isn’t talking—even though she’s the one who sent him to prison.

The year will not only test Bonnie’s resolve, but the very fabric of her heart. She will have to find her faith or risk losing everything most precious to her.

A change is coming for the heroines and heroes of the Bethel Valley Christian romance series. They will find love, healing, and family in interweaving stories set across one year of their lives. Each novel portrays a new cast of main characters and can be read as a stand-alone.

Druid Vices and a Vodka

I’ve said it before, but sometimes I’m a bad person. I cheated on my twelfth-grade math final, I’ve run countless yellow lights, and I gossip about how hot my kickass best friends are. (Good thing my job as a guild bartender doesn’t require moral perfection.)

But there’s bad, and then there’s bad. And I’m not sure which applies to a certain dark druid/wanted criminal/reluctant friend of mine. His transgressions include black-magic dealings, kidnapping, and murder, and he’s about to add “revenge-fueled killing spree” to his resume—if I don’t stop him.

Should I stop him?

He and his nemesis are gearing up to tear each other apart, rogues and vultures are converging with their sights on the spoils, and the guilds that would normally stomp them into the ground are under attack. We’re on the verge of an all-out criminal turf war, and my time to decide is almost up.

Who’s the real bad guy … and do I dare stand in his way?
