Murders and Acquisitions by Thomas Dunne

Werther Maybach Myers was little known outside his primary businesses of media, publishing, and world-class money laundering. Now he is dead and everything is suddenly, dangerously up for grabs. His multibillion-dollar conglomerate Omnium International needs a new American stakeholder and the Maybach family, five generations deep and largely indifferent to anything beyond the money, is wholly unprepared for what circles in from the shadows. Oligarchs, criminal syndicates, and foreign powers all want a piece and what happens next will shake their world to its foundation. Fans of Succession will find everything they are looking for inside Murders and Acquisitions, a razor sharp story of entitlement, greed, rivalry, and revenge.

What People Are Saying: “What a stunning book! A combination of intrigue, mystery, corporate shenanigans, and love, this book delivers on many levels. I was so intrigued at the beginning of this book I couldn’t stop reading.” – Nene521, B&N Reviewer

The Forsaken by Sherrilyn Kenyon  

Emily has spent her whole life dreaming of freedom from her father’s control, and when he crosses one of the most powerful men in England, King Henry II hands her over as a political hostage to Draven, Earl of Ravenswood. It is not the escape she imagined but it might be the only chance she gets. Draven is a warrior bred for the battlefield and vowed to keep his hands to himself, yet Emily pursues him with a relentless determination that chips away at every wall he has ever built. He believes himself a monster and she absolutely refuses to see him that way, and that collision of wills makes for the most irresistible slow burn imaginable. Retitled, refreshed, and restored to the author’s original vision, The Forsaken is a medieval romance for readers who love warriors who resist and women who refuse to let them.

What People Are Saying: “With shades of “Beauty and the Beast,” this delightful romance is filled with humor, shenanigans, and oh so much yearning.” – Viper Spaulding, B&N Reviewer
