A secret neuroscience project. A war the world wasn’t ready for. The fate of humanity on the line. A decade ago, the U.S. government shut down the Cranio-Genesis Project after it spiraled out of control. Now, the world is paying the price. U.S. President Paul Schmidt is thrust into a conflict with Iran, only to face an unprecedented military threat: mysterious Iranian weapons and superhuman soldiers capable of crushing the U.S. military in a matter of days. But there’s more to the story—an untold connection to the Cranio-Genesis Project.
As global chaos erupts, Schmidt must confront the project’s original creators, Drs. Heidi and Peter Davidson, who hold the key to understanding the mysterious force behind Iran’s rise. But the answers they offer come at a price—the twelve test subjects of the failed project are still alive, hidden, but unleashing them has significant implications.
With alliances shifting and the world on the brink of collapse, the clock is ticking. Can the Davidsons’ patients help President Schmidt save the future? Or will humanity fall to a force they never saw coming? Fast-paced, thrilling, and filled with suspense, this first installment in a gripping sci-fi trilogy will leave you hungry for more.

💜Review💜 Rowan is still dealing with the aftermath of Holden’s betrayal however she isn’t going to give up without a fight. If the only way to save her family’s business is a marriage without love that is a price she is willing to pay. The only problem is her inconvenient and unwanted feelings for Holden.
Holden thought he had it all planned out however Rowan is a complication he hadn’t planned on. She is proving to be more stubborn and independent than he expected but that only makes him want her more and he is willing to use all his charm to show her the feelings between them aren’t to be denied.
The surprises keep coming, as the feelings between them intensify so does the heat between them and while some answers are received there are a lot of questions remaining that leave us wanting the next book in this series.

It’s about living in the moment so you don’t miss the ones not on the list—the ones you didn’t even know you wanted.
After Scrooge has his revelatory night, ever wonder if he continues to turn over a new holly leaf, or if he goes back to his miserly ways?
I’ve been thinking about this question ever since a gorgeous red-headed angel saved me from a heart attack with a kiss and a whispered plea.
Of course, I am not certain whether any of it really happened. The redhead. The kiss. The whisper. Maybe it was all a dream. A visionary warning to change my life before it was too late.
As the CEO millionaire of a major department store in downtown Chicago, believing the holidays are about ribbons and bows; packages, boxes, and bags, and comes from a store has been my upbringing. However, I’ve decided to heed this cautionary tale in search of that something more in the season.
Only, I don’t know exactly how to move from selfish to elf-ish.
When that glorious redhead visits me in the hospital, a plan starts to form. I accept her request for a date to her younger brother’s holiday wedding, setting off a string of unexpected events and emotions.
She becomes my reason for the fa-la-la season.
And maybe perhaps, she’ll see I’m a little bit more than a grinch in a penthouse, but an elf longing to be taken down from the shelf.
+++
This November, L.B. Dunbar continues the seasonal tradition with another holiday hottie coming your way, only this time, HE needs the saving, and SHE’s with the fire department.
When I wake up next to my best friend’s brother after a night of bottom shelf tequila and a sizzling one night stand, I do my best to pretend the whole thing never happened.
Until six weeks later, when two pink lines derail my every plan.
Not only is Graham Astor the brother to my three closest friends and the boy I secretly crushed on for years as a teenager, but he’s also a single dad and a grieving widower.
With a new career on my horizon, I don’t have time for complicated or messy—everything Graham and this news brings—and yet, when he expresses how much he wants this, I can’t deny how much I do too.
Even if that means I might wind up heartbroken later.
Navigating this new reality and everything that comes along with it quickly becomes a test of my willpower and self-control as he continues to say all the right things and shows up for me, even when I don’t ask him to. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to keep my feelings out of it.
Especially when I move in with him, and the memory of his hot breath on my neck and the weight of his body on mine haunts me, reminding me of the blazing chemistry we shared.
I tell myself I won’t fall in love with Graham—not again—I swear, I won’t.
But then he looks at me the way he does, or he talks to my belly, telling our growing baby how lucky he is to be their dad, or I watch how incredible he is with his daughter, and it’s impossible not to.
It’s impossible not to picture what our life could be like together, in love and as a family.
But then I think about how the truth of our beautiful little surprise, and all the history we share, will come out eventually.
What if the fantasy in my head is as close as I’ll ever get to being loved by him?
Two professors, one rule-breaking dare, and zero room for mistakes—how many lessons am I up for?
Securing a coveted full-ride scholarship will ease one of the stresses in my life–money.
The other big stress–my boyfriend dumping me for the spotlight of being a college athlete–is going to take a lot more time to heal.
But being single can present opportunities, like when one little dare from a friend pushes me to flirt with two of my professors.
I know better than to expect anything to come from the flirting. It’s just for fun.
It also happens that one of those professors is my ex’s dad.
The other is on the scholarship committee.
And the university has a strict policy against student-professor relationships.
So, maybe this isn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done, but my professors are eager to teach me things I won’t find in my textbooks.
If I don’t call it off in time to keep my expectations in check, will getting caught cost me everything?
If you love forbidden romance with dirty-talking professors who have over-the-top ideas for extra-credit lessons, you’ll show up for private tutoring too!

Caleb Kelly has been my secret weakness since the day I moved to Sugar Brush, Wyoming.
I spend my days among the stacks as the town’s librarian and my nights serving drinks at Joy’s Elbow Room. It’s safe, predictable, and a little boring. The only thing that makes my pulse kick is when Caleb Kelly walks through the door and takes a seat at one of my tables.
Four years of stolen glances, watching him laugh with his family, listening to him talk about his son, and pretending he doesn’t unravel me just by saying my name. Alice.
Then one reckless night, I steal a kiss. And for one perfect, heart-stopping second, he kisses me back.
But the thing is, Caleb doesn’t date. He has his son, his ranch, and no room for anything—or anyone—else.

But letting him in might be the one thing I can’t come back from.
