Petty Officer Hawke Night is not a man to lose focus over a woman, but when it comes to this fiery hot–tempered woman, all common sense goes right out the window. She drives him crazy, but the more he tells himself to back off, the more he feels the pull to be closer to her. If he doesn't strangle her first that is! But that is only one challenge of many. Not only does he go against everything he is to keep her safe, but he also learns that the trouble doesn't just end in the jungle. His job just became a hell of a lot harder when he is faced with more than one enemy, wanting her dead and a woman who has not only blindsided him but also becomes the biggest pain in his ass that he never saw coming. She may not want to want him, but she is damn well going to have this SEAL watching her six. When it comes to this sassy, strong, beautiful five–ten woman, Hawke takes on a deathly crash collision course straight into a brick emotional wall... This woman should come with her own warning label... So honorable, even his blood should be red, white, and blue...

This isn’t another feel-good, pat-on-the-back book that gets tossed onto your wife’s nightstand. I don’t read them either. I wrote this for you in hopes of encouraging men to embrace alpha manhood without having to worry about being attacked for it. Now, the truth is, we can do better. In some cases, much better, but until we know where we’ve been, there’s no way we’ll ever know where we’re going. Let’s knock the rust off of the toxic masculinity mantle and start living an intentional life of purpose.The goal is to encourage you to build the better man. Not that you aren’t freaking incredible the way you are, but let’s be honest, if there weren’t at least a few rough edges in your life, you wouldn’t be reading this. There is so much more to life than merely getting by. We were created to be rulers, conquerors, kings and priests. It’s in God’s holy Word, and yeah, that's kind of a big deal. So, what do you say, let's skip the grunting and get down to living the life we were meant to live?

A lethal menace has found its way onto sleepy Main Street where it quickly claims two victims then quietly slips away. As town officials deal with unexplained death, a local drug dealer becomes frantically fearful of capture and begins to act irrationally.

A healthy and united America--perhaps a country more united than it has ever been--is truly possible, and it starts with us. John Kingston draws on wisdom from history, science, faith, and culture, along with his own experiences, to offer eight principles for discovering purpose, meaning, and true community. We live in the greatest peace and prosperity that the world has ever known, but Americans are feeling more division, isolation, depression, and despair than ever before. These are issues of the soul. We seem unable to find purpose and meaning. We can't find "the life that is truly life"--a vibrant and purpose-filled way of living best experienced together. From his youth, Kingston has always carried a vision for a free and united America. With an approachable and conversational style, as well as a dash of humor, Kingston draws on a diverse and compelling collection of wisdom--the parables of the Bible and the philosophy of Aristotle, the legacy of Nelson Mandela and the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, the songs of Bruce Springsteen and current studies from the best neuro and social scientists today--to remind us that there is no "them," there is only us, and we're in this together. In American Awakening, Kingston offers eight timeless principles for breaking through this darkness and despair and cultivating a radical togetherness, both here in this country and around the globe. You'll discover the profound impact of: In-person connection Making more from less Discovering purpose Redeeming adversity Responding instead of reacting Finding your unique sense of belonging Wherever you find yourself politically or spiritually, a healthy and united America starts with you. Join the Awakening movement and let's rediscover who we are--together.

I respectfully request, sir, that you devote full attention to this matter in his memory and on behalf of a city that has long forgotten his sacrifice...While I judge you not for the past sins of White Pines, I do charge you with atonement for his unsolved murder now that you are in the position of privilege to address this matter. Newly appointed White Pines, North Carolina, Police Chief William H. Parker is baffled by the mysterious death of a patrolman almost fifty years ago. George A. Hartley's body was discovered in an elevator shaft; and although reliable outside sources deemed it a homicide, local authorities consistently propagated it was accidental. His death comes to Parker's attention from a letter of a surviving son, asking him to investigate recurring rumors and harder realities long ignored by former chiefs. This letter serves as a summons to this haunted past. What Chief Parker finds is that the police department's case file no longer exists. Photographs of the crime scene are missing. Inquest records have disappeared. There is not only the question of who murdered the patrolman but also why the case was buried so deeply in the town's dark history. Based on a true story, In Summons to the Past portrays the timeless sorrow resurrected in the surviving son and the challenges of a case complicated by time. Is Chief Parker better off leaving some harder truths to the past? Will his conscience prevail in his steadfast belief that justice, even when delayed, is still justice? Through his perseverance, he is led to a surviving person of interest haunted by the murder, one obsessed with the book of Ecclesiastes now in the mid-winter of his years.

A ghost ship in western US/Canadian waters, its only cargo a single dead crew member. Fearing the situation was a greater threat than it initially appeared, the Pentagon deployed their most powerful weapon—Troy Bishop with the Proactive Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG). Quickly shuttled to a Cold War-era bioweapons facility, Bishop observed the opening cut of the autopsy and the black, gelatinous blood that oozed from within. His chest tightened at the unmistakable sign of hemorrhagic fever. Further investigation turns up another troubling fact—that body carried a weaponized recombinant virus containing two deadly strains. Someone is planning to kill millions of people, and they have exactly what they need to do it. Bishop is deployed on a cross-border mission to root out the key players and stop a plan that would result in worldwide destruction. Sounds like another day at the office for him—except this time he’s working with an international team of strangers and he’s not quite sure everyone is working towards the same goal. Death and destruction stand at the door and only Bishop can stop them. Fans of Michael Crichton and Jonathan Maberry will devour this exciting bioterrorism thriller from the man who has been on the inside, retired Joint Terrorism Task Force and Secret Service agent Larry Enmon.

In this heart-stopping thriller, a brazen kidnapper targets the most lavish New York City wedding of the season—and takes "Here Comes the Bride" as an invitation.

Her dressing room is empty but for a blood-spattered wedding gown and signs of a struggle. Detective Kylie MacDonald of NYPD Red, already on-scene as a plus-one, loops in her partner, Detective Zach Jordan to activate Level One mobilization for this PR nightmare. But when Erin's "proof of life" video makes it to air—rather than to evidence—every A-lister on the guest list becomes a target of suspicion . . . or just a target.
