After meeting a strange green-eyed boy in the woods, Thatcher Blue, I get distracted. He's not the dark-eyed boy, Bellocaro, who gives me guidance in my dreams, but he's certainly drool worthy.

Absolute Zero by Mathe Storm (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

The conference room door swung wide as Doctor Rebecca Yates breezed in, and the two men who'd been waiting almost twenty minutes rose to greet her. Doctor Matthew Palmer was immediately taken by the elegant woman before them. She was youthful with a pretty smile -- not at all what he'd expected of such a notable physicist. "I'm Agent Don Nichols, Homeland Security, and this is Doctor Matthew Palmer from NASA." Nichols gestured in Matthew's direction without taking his eyes off his target. Matthew shook the woman's hand and looked into cool, intelligent, blue eyes. He noticed her dangling earrings that resembled the double helix of DNA, and her necklace with a dainty silver cross nestled above her cleavage. Rebecca smiled as she shook hands with the two serious looking men, neither of whom smiled in return. "Please, take a seat," Agent Nichols motioned toward the glass table that took up the central part of the conference room. She took a seat, and Agent Nichols sat directly opposite her, leaving Matthew to take the seat next to his. "We appreciate you taking the time to meet with us, Doctor Yates," Nichols began in a serious tone, his unflinching gaze causing Rebecca some unease. She ignored her discomfort and kept up her smile. "Can I ask what this is about?" "We have reason to believe you and your team made a significant breakthrough in the area of ultra-cold particle physics," Nichols stated, his eyes studying her for any change in expression. "The government has a particular interest in your work. We would like to know the details of that breakthrough and what your team has discovered." Rebecca's gray-blue eyes widened, then narrowed, her smile now gone. "I'm sorry, gentlemen. I can't divulge anything about our recent work. I'm sure you understand how sensitive such data is before it's been published." Matthew decided it was time to speak up. "Doctor Yates, I can't stress to you enough how important this information is to us. It could potentially save ...

"The Iranian" dives deep into the heart of conflict, freedom, and the intricate dance of power between captive and captor. The protagonist, Rose, finds herself ensnared in the grips of a new captivity, just as freedom teased its presence on her horizon. Diverging from the paths of her past, she is now isolated from Luke, her companion in escape and hope, and thrust into an environment harsher and more confining than before -- a compound whose boundaries are patrolled by the very essence of her fears: the Taliban. Rose's initial resolve to escape her chains transforms as she navigates the complexities of her new surroundings. The compound offers not just a physical prison, but also a battleground for her emotions and convictions. Here, amidst the daily trials and the constant shadow of danger, the lines that separate friend from foe, protector from predator, begin to blur. The narrative unfolds within this tense atmosphere, examining themes of survival, adaptation, and the human spirit's indomitable quest for freedom. Central to the story is the enigmatic figure of Yasif, an Iranian with roots within Iran and Afghanistan whose presence in the compound adds layers of complexity to Rose's predicament. Yasif oscillates between the roles of captor and protector, challenging Rose's preconceptions and igniting a tumultuous internal struggle. His character embodies the novel's exploration of moral ambiguity, evoking questions about loyalty, identity, and the nature of liberation.

Add to that a dirty-talking cinnamon roll MMC and an independent FMC who knows her worth and you've got one unforgettable romance. ????? Here's what reviewers are saying about It Happened One Night: Holy smokin bartender, what a book! This is sassy, sexy and sizzling! Another hit on your hands Laura . Bravo -Jill, Goodreads Holy freaking wowsers! This book was amazing and almost a one handed read in places! I love the way Laura Marquez Diamond can create such strong women who communicate what they want and need and yet are flawed like the rest of us. Elijah was an amazing book boyfriend- swoony, yet such a dirty talker and could be quite controlling between the sheets, but he does it all with his woman's pleasure in mind! -Jezabel, Goodreads I love the way Elijah helped Abby learn that she didn't have to do it all alone and that despite their insecurities, they could learn how to be a family together. His love for her really was phenomenal and what every woman dreams of. There are some scorching hot scenes too! Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend it... -Penny, Goodreads A beautiful, exquisitely written story of how one night of passion can change two lives forever. Nothing is shied away from in terms of vulnerability, hostility, passion, and love. -Nicola, Goodreads
