An ex-cop sets out to find her missing sister and discovers the shocking truth about her family…

A traumatic experience in the line of duty forces thirty-year-old Avery Rogers to abandon both her relationship and her position as a Kentucky State Police officer. She retreats to a college town where she works an unfulfilling job as a security guard, breaking up fights between drunken frat boys. 

But a frantic phone call turns Avery’s life upside down. Her father—a retired cop who never fails to convey his disappointment in Avery—says her half sister is missing and in danger. Avery is sure Anna’s just crashing with friends, but her father strong-arms her into searching for the sister she barely knows.

Anna Rogers is fed up with her family—a half sister who resents her existence and a domineering father who thinks it’s okay for cops to shoot unarmed civilians. She hits the road to attend a protest against police brutality, unaware of the danger that awaits her there. 

Just after catching a glimpse of Avery at the protest, Anna receives a shocking text. Now she’s no longer road-tripping; she’s running, pursued by an older sister she doesn’t trust and a violent stranger who has been stalking her for weeks. 

When Avery discovers Anna’s hiding place near a remote cave system, she risks everything to save her. Little do the sisters know that a secret is catching up to them—a secret at the very heart of their family history.

About Resetting Destiny:

Delaney is content–if not happy–living a half life, until someone tries to assassinate her. When Delaney is rescued by a handsome stranger, Drew seems to be her savior—until she wakes up in his house where he has her daughter and knows far too much about her. The strange sensations she experiences when he’s near might be a warning…maybe he’s the real danger. Fear and anger mix with passion and soon Delaney’s not sure what’s real. Drew doesn’t know how to tell Delaney that she’s his soulmate. He can’t just dump their past on her and expect her to believe him. Not when she doesn’t remember anything about him or the things she’s capable of—but they’re running out of time. Hunters are after her and damned if he’s going to sit idly by and let them capture her. Delaney and Drew work together to help her regain her memories and her ability to control destiny. When sparks fly between them love might conquer all–or it might cause her to end the world.

Becoming Justice

Exclusive Excerpt:

His jaw clenches. “I’m trying to tell you everything. With the powers you have, you have the ability to make things happen. To shape the future. That’s why you were considered a liability to the Guardianship. That’s why when you break one of the rules, they kill you. And they do it swiftly and without notice. You could envision world wars, destruction, famines, plagues. And they would happen. You can start it, you can stop it, you can control it. Of course, there’s always the chance it changes, but that’s usually not the case.” “I absolutely take umbrage at being considered a liability. This is absurd,” I scoff. “I’ve envisioned things before, and it’s not happened.” I willed Tyson to not be dead. Pregnant, worried about the future and losing the love of my life to an early death, single parenthood staring me down. I damn well willed it with everything I had, and it hadn’t mattered.My chest tightens and my heart, an aggravated pump, pushes the blood thickly through my veins. It’s pounding in my ears, pulsating in my shoulder. None of this can be true.

Title: Bailout 

Author: M M Flynn

Genre: Celebrity Sports Romance

Release Date: June 29th 

About Bailout: 

The instant connection that sparked in Booker continues in a way that no one expected…

This is the third time my life has fallen apart. 

What I had pretended to be in the past is now banging on the door of my present.

After living so many different lives, each one is a more faded version of myself. Who am I now? Who do I want to be?

Does Sam feel my body desperately reaching for his?

I don’t know who I am if I don’t mean anything to Kat.

After Kat dropped a bomb on my life, I’m filling my time with parties and fake shit. I need something else to keep me going. Something that won’t make me think about her.

I’m somehow still tied to her. Like our connection is too tightly knotted to be unwound.

I will always, always crawl back to her. Wherever she is.

Pre-Order Your Copy! 

I flick open my messaging app where Kat’s text still sits, unanswered. Like a ticking time bomb.

I’ve reread it over and over again, picking apart the five little words that glaze over absolutely everything. How dare she reach out to me? How dare she make me want to respond?

My body is reaching for hers, but my mind . . . I scrub the scar on my scalp in frustration . . . my mind is a fucking mess. I don’t know what I want. I want her to feel terrible for lying to me. I hate her for it. I want to know why she lied, if she has a kid somewhere, where her husband is.

I want her to feel as tortured as I feel. No. More tortured.

I also want to make sure she’s all right. That she’s safe. That the press have left her alone. That her husband hasn’t found her.
