The Northern Wolf Series: Books 1-5 by Daniel Greene

The Northern Wolf Series: Books 1-5 by Daniel Greene

The complete Northern Wolf series all in one boxset. Over 1500 pages of award-winning military historical fiction. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ralph Peters, Michael Shaara, Griff Hosker, and Matthew Harffy.

A broken man will be forged in the flames of war.

Johannes Wolf. Immigrant. Soldier. Unlikely Hero — Wolf’s company are the kind of men that get the dirty work done needed to win the war that divided America. Ride through the American Civil War with Wolf’s motley crew of daring Union raiders, and enjoy fast-paced, non-stop war fiction at the pointy end of a saber!

Northern Wolf – A maimed young man with no prospects swindles his way into the Army of the Potomac, and along with a host of green recruits is placed into the Michigan Cavalry Brigade. Riding for Gettysburg, they find themselves holding the rear of the Union line and face to face with JEB Stuart and his Invincibles.

Northern Hunt – Johannes Wolf has made a crucial mistake. He’s volunteered for a secret raid, dragging along with him, his unit of misfits. They fall under the command of Colonel Ulric Dahlgren and set out on a quest for redemption and vengeance that will strike at the head of the Southern Cause.

Northern Blood – In the Spring of 1864, a daring raid is devised to draw the Confederate cavalry into a winner-take-all showdown. The Union needs a group of soldiers just brazen enough to do it or die trying. Libby Prison’s most recent escapee, Johannes Wolf, and his unit of misfits, might just be the ones to get the job done – if Red Shirts don’t kill them first.

Northern Dawn – Promoted, Wolf finds himself in the hot seat of the largest all-cavalry battle of the war near Trevilian Station. Isolated and surrounded can they survive the coming Southern storm? Or will they be overrun and annihilated, a mere footnote in history?

Northern Shadows – With the surrender of Robert E. Lee,Wolf’s war isn’t over. Diehard rebels still operate in the field, led by the secret organization the Knights of the Golden Circle. Their plot? Kill the president and let the war rage on. Wolf and his men rush to Washington, D.C., to meet the enemy head-on. But these enemies do not march and fight as armies do; they lurk in the shadows waiting to strike.

Praise for the Northern Wolf series –

“Greene has set the bar impossibly high — no one writes about the American Civil war the way he does.” – Coffee Pot Book Club Review

“Overall, I would highly recommend Northern Blood to fans of atmospheric and immersive Civil War fiction, likable characters with fantastic dialogue, and for historical military novel enthusiasts everywhere.” – Readers’ Favorite, 5-star review

“The pacing is perfect. The action scenes are tense. You are on the edge of your seat over and over.” – N.N. Light’s Book Heaven

About Shattered Souls by Emily Huffman

Shattered Souls is the action-packed introduction to a YA epic fantasy trilogy featuring tropes such as the chosen ones, found family, hidden truths, and unique magical creatures. See blurb below:

The Shard will kill anyone in its path. Blaine and his friends–an elven prince, a princess, and a magical prodigy–are its target. Their only hope for survival is to unravel the secrets of its summoning and their connection to the dark creature.

But the secrets of the Shard are entangled in the gods, and if they aren’t careful, dangerous magic could threaten their world…

New Teacher in Town by Jes Drew

About New Teacher in Town by Jes Drew

Her redemption is keeping her child safe.
His is to bring them in.
Will they choose vengeance . . . or a second chance?

I have been called many things in my life. Seductress. Secretary of Inter-Dimensional Defense. Killer. Failure. Ebony Smith. But those titles are all dead, because I’m Ruby Jones, now. And Ruby is only one thing: an expecting mother.

With my last mission behind me, I can blend into small-town America and make a good life for my baby. Except, Milan has tracked me down and established himself in this town, too, as he seeks me out.

Which means I can’t make one wrong move. It also means that I’m at Elijah’s mercy to make my cover story flawless. And he doesn’t think my last mission was my last one, after all. In fact, he has a new job lined up for me that has nothing to do with my new teaching position. I have to track down a runaway priest.

A runaway priest who is convinced that my house is haunted. But that’s okay, because it’s haunted with Kristian’s ghost. And he’s my one comfort as I face the rest of my life, starting with the part where I’m the new teacher in town.

Perfect for fans of cat and mouse spy games, female bounty hunters, and single mothers who will do whatever it takes to protect the child that everyone wants . . . and for anyone who wants a cleaner Stephanie Plum.

About At Summer’s End by Jes Drew

She knows better than to trust anyone.
He wants his best friend back.
Together they will probably save the world. Most likely.

The world is reeling from the near-apocalypse of the Dystopian Takeover that was only just averted by a motley crew of teenagers, including Violet Strokes.

Violet now finds herself recruited by a special opps team— Code Name Peacemakers— to train to prevent future takeovers from ever happening along with some of the other teenage heroes. Which would be a lot easier if she weren’t struggling to hide her emotional and physical wounds of the last takeover, or if everyone else on the team weren’t spoiled rich kids (minus one mild-mannered superhuman named Tim).

It certainly doesn’t help that one of the other teenagers on the team is her long-lost childhood friend— and the son of the villains of the Dystopian Takeover— Alexander Franklin III, who is insistent that they rekindle their friendship. On top of it all, every turn she takes, she seems run into another boy from her past— with what may be an even more sinister family legacy . . .

Somehow, though, Violet, Alex, and the rest of the team need to figure out how to work together to protect the world from itself. That is, if Violet can stop the takeover that is going on in her very mind . . .

A YA action-adventure rom-com perfect for fans of C.J. Hill and Ally Carter about spy training and summer romance.

Echoes of Summer by Jes Drew

About Echoes of Summer by Jes Drew

She knows better than to trust anyone.
He wants his best friend back.
Together they will probably save the world. Most likely.

Violet is only just now acclimating team when she’s assigned her first solo mission. Which is good, because she and Alex need some distance.

She has no time for her newly re-instated best friend’s worries about the possibility that she may or may not have been attacked by Dr. Earnestine and injected with something that could possibly alter her DNA. Violet is ready for some time away to focus on a mission and not on her own confusing feelings. But her mission unearths a different set of feelings.

Assigned to protect a recently orphaned young heiress, Violet must ensure that nothing happens that will send the money to the next in line— namely, the nefarious Mr. Columbus. Who has sent his son to “pay his respects”— and woo the girl whose stipulation to inheritance is marriage. But the presence of Jeremy makes things a bit more complicated for Violet, since she’s supposed to be in deep cover, and they’ve locked lips more than once. Also making it a bit awkward is the possibility that another Peacemaker may also be undercover as a potential suitor on a different mission. Oh, and there’s also a wannabe killer on the loose who could be anyone.

But it’s nothing that Violet can’t handle. That is, if she can figure out exactly what it is Dr. Earnestine did to her, and why he’s always in her head . . .

A YA action-adventure rom-com perfect for fans of C.J. Hill and Ally Carter about spy training and summer romance.

Summer Again by Jes Drew

About Summer Again by Jes Drew

She knows better than to trust anyone.
He wants his best friend back.
Together they will probably save the world. Most likely.

After months of spy training and several missions under her belt, she’s sure of only two things. One, she has superpowers. And two, she and Alex need to figure out what they are and why before Earnestine can weaponize her.

Freak-a-tized.

There are a lot of other things Violet is less than sure about. Like whether she’s smart to trust the team she’s started to call friends. Or how entwined Jeremy is with his father’s current mysterious plot that the Peacemakers have been assigned to uncover evidence on. Or even that Alex sees her as just a friend.

Friend-zoned.

When betrayal rocks Violet’s world, she does the only things she knows how to do: she runs. But no matter how far she runs, she can’t escape Earnestine’s reach. Or her own feelings. Or even her past in the form of the one man she thought she’d never see again . . .

Found.

For the first time in her life, Violet isn’t so sure she’s got everything handled. But between the evil combination of Columbus and Earnestine while the Peacemakers are at their weakest, the stakes have never been so high.

Her redemption is keeping her child safe.
His is to bring them in.
Will they choose vengeance . . . or a second chance?

I never have called myself a saint. Sure, I never meant to get so sucked into the life of death and deceit that I chose, but there’s no denying what I did. I’d be the first to say I’m irredeemable. But he saw something different in me. I don’t know what, but he believed in it. Believed in me. Until he died by the hands of a woman disguised as me.

Fleeing from my old handler, I’m never going back to that life of servitude. But before I can close the door on my days as an assassin, there’s just one more kill I need to accomplish. Hers. I’ll make her pay for what she took from me. There are only two complications. One, I’m artificially impregnated with the child of the man I loved and lost. And two, my old recruit is on the hunt for me to get some revenge of his own.

But after everything I’ve been through, everything I’ve done, I know nothing can stop me now. Not even a skeleton in my closet or a ghost from my past.

Perfect for fans of cat and mouse spy games, female bounty hunters, and single mothers who will do whatever it takes to protect the child that everyone wants . . . and for anyone who wants a cleaner Stephanie Plum.
