THE IMMORTAL
Sweet Contemporary Fantasy Romance
By Linda Mooney
Word Count: 26K
$3.99 e / $7.99 p


Jonah Cobb has lived for more than two centuries. He's survived wars, starvation, and plagues. He's been near death countless times, but he hasn't died because he can't. For some reason he's never been able to discover, he's immortal.

He's accepted the fact that he's doomed to roam the earth alone, perhaps for all eternity. But during one brutal winter he encounters Clea Hatch. She and her son Joey live on a farm on the outskirts of a small town. She helps him recover and feeds him in exchange for him working around the farm.

Jonah has had his share of women in his long past, but none of them have touched his heart the way Clea does. He knows nothing will come of it, and eventually she'll grow old and die, and he'll have to go on living without her. Regardless, he wants to be part of her short lifetime. But will she accept his request now that she knows what he is?

Warning! Contains a gold coin, a bell, deceit, theft by omission, and a man who'd given up on ever finding love and absolute contentment.

And Only Available for a Short Time at Kindle Unlimited!

CHRISTMAS JONES
A Sweet Holiday Fantasy Romance
By Linda Mooney
$3.99 e

Jones is hard at work at the factory when she gets the call every worker wishes for this time of year from The Boss. She’s chosen as one of the lucky twelve, bestowed with the honor of being a Bearer of Christmas Wishes. There are rules, of course, but it’s fairly simple. Pass out candy canes to people in your assigned area to spread some Christmas magic, then you can go back home.

If only it were that simple.

Jones lands in a big city in freezing weather, and a snowstorm is blowing in. She’s alone in a new world, but thanks to the kindness of a stranger, she’s able to find food and shelter.

Barrett doesn’t have much himself, being a homeless vet who’s fallen on hard times, but he’s willing to help however he can. Jones seems to be lost, more than a little naïve, and maybe a bit crazy, but he’s the last one to judge. He feels protective of her, and he could use some of that Christmas magic himself. 

Feelings are new to Jones, especially one in particular. And when she thinks she may lose Barrett for good, she must do what it takes to save him as he saved her.

Turns out, love may be the greatest magic of all.

Warning! Contains a broken candy cane, real cold and hunger, five rules, an aversion to peppermint, legal tender, a striped bowl, and one man finding Christmas magic with a woman who only has one name.

Breachers: Trott and Mendlaw
Book 5 of the Breachers Series
Contemporary Paranormal/Fantasy Romance
by Linda Mooney
Word Count: 42K
$3.99 e / $10.99 p

Male Breachers are being murdered. More specifically, something’s exploding from the inside out. What on earth is happening? Is it murder? Or a birth, of sorts? And if it’s a type of grisly birth, who or what is being born? Furthermore, where are the babies?

 Olmsly Morrow calls in Clay Trott and Davida Mendlaw. Both are Breachers of the purest bloodlines, and he feels there’s no one better to solve the deaths of their fellow Breachers. The problem is that Clay’s and Davida’s species are mortal enemies and have been for years. It’s an eons’ long prejudice that has been passed down through generations. But they’re not on the old planet anymore. They’ve never even set foot on it. So why are their species still fighting?

 As the investigation gets more and more complicated, gut instincts are telling Davida and Clay that not all good guys are good. They’re having to keep things close to the vest to solve the mystery of these deaths. With Breacher numbers declining, they must put the past behind them and work together if they’re to save their kind from extinction.

 And if this case wasn’t harrowing enough, Clay and Davida are also having to deal with their growing feelings, knowing that, in the end, it will never work out. It's a realization that almost tears them apart.

 Warning! Contains a strawberry milkshake, thirty-nine years, gut feelings, apples, illegal experimentation, a pure bloodline, slimy afterbirth, and two people fighting against years of indoctrination when they discover their true feelings for each other.

THE RENTAL
Book 3 – Brady
Sci-Fi/Contemporary Fantasy Romance
by Linda Mooney
Word Count: 26.4K
$2.99 e / $10.99 p 

Brady Hardy was dealt a crap hand in life after a tragic work accident left him short three limbs. Since then it’s been a constant battle, both physically and mentally, to the point where he’s losing the will to keep fighting. But when he learns of the opportunity Rall Rentals provides, the chance to experience life again, there’s a spark of hope.

Gia, Brady’s caregiver, has come to care for Brady more than just what her job requires, and she’s happy to see the light back in his eyes. She’s seen him through his ups and downs, and she hopes the program will bring more ups than he’s had lately, and it does. At first.

Brady is fully invested in the life of his Rental, until he learns of certain proclivities Mr. Reede indulges in that he doesn’t approve of. In fact, after that initial introduction of the man’s bizarre appetites, it’s too much for Brady to stomach. Should he ask for a new Rental? Can he? If he does, will Rall Rentals understand his hesitance to continue?

Maybe life isn’t always greener on the other side, but Gia is determined to help this man who’s come to mean so much to her. Maybe with a little tough love, Brady can regain the will to fight back and live his own life again to the fullest. Whatever the outcome, she’ll be there to encourage him for as long as he’ll let her.

Warning! Contains an odd coincidence, a misunderstanding, a brunch date, Roy, a self-inflated ego, and two people hesitant to admit their true feelings for each other until it's almost too late.

Word Count: 28.2K
$2.99 e / $7.50 p



Not every letter Santa gets is a wish list for toys…

Babs has been adjusting well to life at the North Pole these past couple years. She loves the missions she and her husband Dominik go on to save the children, to where she doesn’t really miss her old life at all. Although elfin magic has taken some getting used to, it does make things a lot more, shall we say, convenient? Especially when hard cases turn up, and they have to rely on help from their friends at Santa Central.

This year, however, they may have found their toughest case yet. When Santa receives a letter about a child who’s been kidnapped by his mother, Dom and Babs investigate further, and they soon learn there’s a problem going on involving more than just one missing child. Dom always said he wouldn’t kill anyone, but this case may call for more violent measures. 

They soon realize it will take more than a sledgehammer and a baseball bat to bust up a drug ring that may be trafficking more than dope. 

Warning! Contains an Oscar-worthy performance, jingle bell surveillance, a beer, abductions, an upgrade on the weapons front, the best defense is a good offense, and a major wish fulfilled.

Note: Although this is a sweet romance, it does contain profanity and scenes of violence.

"Mommy, tell me a story.  A fairy story."

Jill has a very real fairy story to tell her daughter.  Actually she has two: the one she recites at bedtime and the one that is the truth.

Once upon a time there was a faerie whose life was contained in the forest lands of northern Maine. But when unscrupulous loggers began to cut down the trees which were the lifeblood of her people, she was ordered to take human form and find a way to stop them by using human means.

Caine York worked for the US Forestry Service. The last thing he needed was a tree rights activist like Jill Lattimer tagging along. Yet as the days went by he found himself unable to resist the woman's uninhibited spirit.

Unfortunately, Jill was also finding herself falling in love with the forest ranger. The human forest ranger. A man her people would never allow her to be with once they found out.

She would soon find herself fighting to stay with the man who had captured her heart, just as Caine would struggle to have the woman he cannot live without. Together they will fight to keep their beloved woods safe from deforestation, knowing that sooner or later one of them would have to lose everything they held dear.

Warning:  Contains horrendous weather, big bad humans, lightning from a stick, sex with wings, explosions, drone surveillance, barefoot nymphs, gunfire, a very recalcitrant child, and one man trying to come to grips with the fact that the woman he loves belongs in a mythic realm where he isn't allowed.

They are the cause of many legends, myths, and fairy tales. And they still live among us.

Human bones are showing up in various concrete structures, all stemming from a site that has been shut down for years. Where exactly are they coming from?

Olmsly Morrow thinks it’s more than just foul play by humans, so he calls on Trenna Cross and Reece Kamrose, although Reece has no idea why he’s been tapped for a super-secret government job. He’s just a farmer. Right, and Trenna is just an actress as well.

In truth, Trenna is also a coh, having trained all her life to fight Breachers. But Reece is not; he has no “abilities.” So why was he called and partnered up with Trenna? Whatever the reason, they’re committed to solving the murders of the gang members, and ridding San Antonio of its otherworldly infestation.

Through it all, Trenna and Reece know there’s an undeniable connection, and how nice would it be to be with someone who truly knows who and what she is? But a relationship could never last between the two, right? They’re too far away, too different from each other…or are they?

Warning! Contains chainmail, a Celtic cross, a choice between barbeque or Mexican food, a haunted cement factory, and two people who discover by accident that they were meant to be together.

They were deadly enemies, until a greater threat made them unwilling allies...and lovers.

Sherandar is the most cunning adversary Quazar has ever faced. He never knows when or where his worst nightmare will strike, but when she does, it's with the single-minded purpose to taunt him.

But when a new enemy makes himself known, and tries to kill both Quazar and Sherandar, the two combatants realize the only way to defeat this deadly threat is to call a temporary truce and join forces.

It isn't until she lies broken, bloodied, and dying in his arms that Quazar realizes she has become more to him than his temporary ally. He has fallen in love with her.

Warning! Contains deadly necklaces, delectable desserts, a skintight costume, an antique stove, dining table sex, and a bored megalomaniac who has no qualms about killing because he just wants to watch the world burn.

Tuffy Claus and Babs are back, and despite Dominik’s protests, his wife is coming along for the ride. Being previously in law enforcement, she won’t be playing the obedient housewife while waiting for him to get home. No, she’ll be out chasing the bad guys as well. But can she handle the heart-wrenching jobs she’ll have to take on?

Their newest case tests Babs to her limits, making her wonder if she’s really cut out for this. Short answer? Yes. When it comes to the children, she’ll do whatever it takes. But when things quickly take a turn for the worst, leaving Babs on her own, she realizes how important her job really is.

It’s then that a thought hits her, and Dominik and Kris realize there could be a whole group of kids that are being overlooked—those who can’t write a letter to Santa. Those who can’t ask for help. And they wonder how many children have suffered through the centuries because of their oversight?

The Kringles know they can’t possibly save them all, but they’re gonna damn sure try.

(Although this is a sweet romance, it contains scenes of violence.)
Word Count: 24.6K
$1.99 e / $6.99 p

After purchasing a beautiful and unique antique angel tree topper, Marq North is excited to gift it to his long-time girlfriend, but he should’ve known she appreciates a bigger price tag more than sentimental value. Why has he wasted years of his life trying to buy her love? When she tells him she’s ending their relationship right before the holidays, he’s almost…relieved.

Ione and her fellow archangels are used to the rise in demonic activity during Samhain, but at Christmas? That is a surprise to them all. Yet it seems more and more people are focusing on the greed and commercialism these days rather than the real reason for the season. And the demons plan to take advantage of mankind’s vulnerability and overtake as many mortals as possible this time of year. It’s up to Ione and Heaven’s best protectors to save every valuable soul.

He’d swear he saw her literally fall from the sky, to find her injured and vulnerable. After Marq rescues her, he discovers she’s the spitting image of the angel doll. She says her name is Ione, and claims to be an archangel. After he offers her a place of safety in order to recover, he finds she’s become jaded through the years, which has him determined to have her see that it’s not greed, but the love of giving that makes this time of year special.

Despite knowing she must return to Heaven, or risk drawing the demons’ wrath to Marq, Ione wants to remain with her rescuer, but she must let him go to save his life as he did hers. After all, a relationship between a mortal and a celestial being would never work.

Or can it?

Warning:  Contains hot cocoa, a flaming sword, a celestial mission, a red sweatshirt, similar names, and discovering that sometimes the best gift on or under the Christmas tree is love.

John "Talon" Eagletalon had no idea what the government intended when it assigned him to its latest secret project - an icy blonde beauty with a miraculous ability.  All he knew was that he owed Uncle Sam fourteen more months of his life, and if it meant being this woman's partner and bodyguard until he'd paid his dues, he'd find a way to endure the ordeal. 

Until he discovered what the government had been doing to her.  And at the same time, discovered he was falling hopelessly in love with her. 
 
Now it's no longer a matter of protecting her.  It's a matter of keeping her out of their clutches. 
And making her his.

Warning! Contains a wise Indian saying, cold showers, extreme hazardous pay, corrupt scientists, sorry sons of bitches, chains and collars, things that bite, and a two thousand mile journey that ends in an incredible night of love.

It will take a long time before AEquana heals from the abuse and torture she endured growing up in those government labs. But Talon's love is helping her vanquish those demons and go forward with life.

Unfortunately, they stumble onto a multi-million dollar gem heist, and are targeted by those who think they're easy prey. Their enemies have no idea who they're up against when they try to take on the ex-Navy SEAL and his mermaid.

Warning! Contains a mountain-side pool, phone bashing, lubricating oil, vicious attacks, the absence of cuffs and chains, and a plea and a promise that will test the strength and depth of two people's love.

Garenth had been awakened to retrieve an ancient artifact that was crucial to his well-being. He had few memories of what his life had been like when he had been a man. What memories that were left were filled with blood and excruciating pain.


That part of him was over now. The talisman had been taken from its sacred burial place, and it had to be returned as quickly as possible. It was up to him to follow through with his mission so he could return to another thousand years of sleep.

Brielle Van de Camp knew an extraordinary find when she saw it. The small clay figure was the key to a potentially earth‑shattering revelation about a previously unknown time in man's ancestry. She would bet her life on it.

Unfortunately, others had gotten wind of the talisman, and they were equally determined to claim its promise for themselves. If Brielle wasn't willing to part with the figurine, they had no compunction about prying it from her dead fingers.

They never counted on having to face the guardian of the statuette, who turned out to be more than a creature of mythology.

Warning! Contains a magic talking rock, a mother idol, boo-lets, a cell phone app, deadly intruders, a ruthless businessman, a key card, and a warrior trying to cope with an ages-old curse with the help of a woman who must be a blessing from the gods.
