IN YOUR ARMS
A For Your Love Novel
Shannyn Schroeder
Rising star Shannyn Schroeder breaks onto the Zebra print list with a new
contemporary romance series! Set in Chicago around a boisterous Irish
clan, In Your Arms, the second novel in the For Your Love series, is a little
gritty, a little messy, and a lot steamy!
KEY SELLING POINTS
The For Your Love novels all
feature members of the OMalley
clan, a tight-knit Irish-American
family that readers first met in
Catch Your Breath (Lyrical, 7/14).
Contemporary romances set
around siblings are a very popular
trend. Shannyn Schroeder
provides a fresh spin on this idea
setting her series not in a small
town but in urban Chicago, which
gives the series a young, hip vibe
and allows the series to explore
the complex issues that arise from
big city living.
Kensington also publishes
Schroeders New Adult novella
series, Hot & Nerdy.
A KNIGHT IN SHINING LEATHER

Sean OMalley has never tried to hide who he is. He shows it in the motorcycle thrumming
between the legs of his tight jeans...the shaggy hair that falls in his gorgeous eyes...the wicked
gleam in his smile when he asks Emma out for a drink. Sean is a rebel, a bad boy, and a ton
of fun: exactly the kind of guy shes sworn o forever.
Emma isnt just the prim kindergarten teacher she appears to be. And somehow Sean can
tell. As soon as he pulls up to her overheated car he knows that a fast bike and a cold beer will
fix her rotten day better than compliments or a bubble bath. Her straitlaced exterior and her
wild heart light him up. But Emma wants to escape her past and settle downand if her
desk jockey dates dont understand where she comes from, at least she doesnt worry about
them bringing her back.
One weekend of intense connection cant change the paths Sean and Emma have chosen.
But with a little space to be themselves together, maybe the rest of the world can wait...

Branded a witch, Morainn has never met a man who accepted her strange talent, much
less one who could so easily enflame her passion. Theres no resisting Tormands rugged
masculinityand no escaping the enemy who grows more twisted every day. And even
as logic decrees that a lasting union is impossible, Morainn knows her destiny is bound
forever with the knight who has claimed her, body and soul.

THAT DARKNESS
A Gardiner and Renner Thriller
Lisa Black
In this tour de force of psychological suspense, New York Times bestselling

author Lisa Black draws from her experience as a forensic investigator to
create two of the most fascinating characters in crime fiction: a killer with
a unique sense of justice and a woman in a lifelong relationship with death
KEY SELLING POINTS
The author is a trained, currently
working forensic scientist.
The forensic science described in
the book is much more realistic
than anything on CSI.
Lisa Black is a New York Times
bestselling author for her novel
Evidence of Murder.
This is the first book in the
Gardiner and Renner series.
As a forensic investigator for the Cleveland Police Department, Maggie Gardiner has seen
her share of Jane Does. The latest is an unidentified female in her early teens, discovered in a
local cemetery. More shocking than the girls injuriesfor Maggie at leastis the fact that
no one has reported her missing. She and the detectives assigned to the case (including her
cop ex-husband) are determined to follow every lead, run down every scrap of evidence. But
the monster they seek is watching every move, closer to them than they could possibly imagine.
Jack Renner is a killer. He doesnt murder because he enjoys it, or because he believes himself
omnipotent, or for any reason other than to make the world a safer place. When he follows
the trail of this Jane Doe to a locked room in a small apartment where eighteen teenaged girls
are anything but safe, he knows something must be done. But his pursuit of their captor
takes an unexpected turn.
Maggie Gardiner finds another body waiting for her in the autopsy roomand a host of
questions that will challenge everything she believes about justice, morality, and the true
nature of evil

together, all dierent races and ethnicities, but she loves them as her own. One woman has
taught them how to love, trust, and respect one another. Claudette is their light at the end
of a long, troublesome tunnel, and she shines so bright.
Then, one dreadful day, it all comes to a crashing halt. Claudette is walking to the bus stop
from the juvenile correction center where she volunteers her time, and she is gunned down in

However, they soon discover that they have also inherited enemies no one knew existed in
Claudettes world.
Uncle Snap was well aware of those enemies, and after one of the children happens upon a
lockbox with keys, codes, and monetary figures, Uncle Snap presents them with a video
Mama has left, revealing the truth about her nefarious activities. A secret bunker underneath
the house opens their eyes. It is filled with money, drugs, and specific directions from
Claudette, who built an empire from the ground up. The Syndicate is what Uncle Snap
calls it, and since Claudette is dead, it is up to the kids to keep it going.
The Syndicate is a criminal enterprise that tracs millions of dollars of drugs throughout
the United States. From the Port of Miami to the border of Canada, The Syndicate is a
force to be reckoned with. Unbeknownst to them, Claudette has been training every one
of them for this moment. She honed in on each of their skills to develop them to the fullest.
