Summary
USA Today and New York Times best-selling author Maya Banks continues her suspenseful and sizzling Slow Burn series with the fifth book featuring the men and women of Devereaux Security Services. Raised in a strict religious cult since she was a young girl, Jenna has no connection to the outside world beyond vague flashes of memory that seem to be from another life. Memories she clings to when the cult leaders discover her extraordinary ability to heal - and punish her. Years held captive and forced to do the cult's bidding have turned Jenna into a meek, timid woman...or so they think. In truth she is merely biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to escape. When a terrified young woman tries to steal the SUV of Devereaux Security's toughest recruit, Isaac's anger quickly turns into a strange sort of protectiveness for the beautiful, bruised stranger. But when they are caught in a firestorm of bullets and Isaac is hit, he's sure the end is near, until Jenna touches him and closes his wounds. As he tries to bring Jenna to safety, she refuses to tell him what danger haunts her or how she healed him, but Isaac vows to do whatever it takes to gain her trust...and her heart. Because with just one touch, Isaac knows he wants Jenna to be his - forever.

Refuge Omnibus Edition
Summary
Refuge, New Hampshire, is a small town. The kind found on postcards. Their biggest concern is the rowdy summertime revelers making their way up from Massachusetts and New York. And with most of the town's residents in neighboring Ashland, for the Fourth of July fireworks show, Refuge is quieter than usual. That is, until the Baptist church's bell starts ringing - on its own. The bell chimes faster and faster, reaching a frenetic pace, as though rung by the Devil himself. But the bell is just the beginning. The air shimmers. The night-time sky fills with a burning red aurora. The moon, previously a crescent, is now full. And just hours after dusk, the sun returns to the sky, revealing an endless desert where there was once a mountainous pine forest. Led by ex-Army Ranger turned surrealist painter, Griffin Butler, Sheriff Rebecca Rule and her deputy, Helena Frost, the residents of Refuge must weather an ever changing onslaught of otherworldly dangers while trying to uncover how and why the landscape beyond town shifts every time the church bell tolls. As a sequence of horrific events threaten to destroy the town, the residents must band together, search for answers and find a way to defend their homes, or Refuge will be lost. Refuge is a serialized novel, co-authored by #1 Amazon.com horror author, Jeremy Bishop, and five other authors, including Amazon.com best sellers Kane Gilmour and David McAfee, USA Today best seller, Robert Swartwood, and newcomer Daniel Boucher. The novel was released in five parts, every two weeks beginning in late 2013, but it is now available as one complete novel. So listen for the individual parts or the whole completed novel. Either way, you're in for a creepy ride.

The Dragon's Warlock
Summary
An untamed dragon. A broken wizard. And danger that’s no laughing matter. Diem says, "Six months ago, I didn’t believe people could be turned into animals. Then someone stuck a needle in my arm. Now I’ve got a dragon inside my head that won’t shut up. Especially about the bastard who gave the order. Gideon. For some unfathomable reason, my dragon trusts him. It’s too late for me. But my sister’s been kidnapped, and I’ve got a chance to save her before she meets the same fate. If I can find her in time. Gideon can help me. Gideon owes me. And he’s about to find out I’m a force to be reckoned with." Gideon says, "For a thousand years I was powerful. Esteemed. Even feared within the wizarding community. One spell wiped it all away. The last hundred years is lost in the fog of my memory, years I spent as a warlock’s puppet. I’m useless now. No one trusts me, much less respects me. How can I help anyone, much less the wild young dragon shifter who doesn’t know when to shut up? But for some reason, I say yes. Maybe it’s she makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. Or maybe it’s because yes is barely out of my mouth before we’re running for our lives...."
