A Mighty Good Man
by Rebecca E. Neely
Blurb:
โHankโ JerryโฆHer personal and professional life on the skids, a family emergency forces her to return to the small town, and the aunt, she left behind.
Jack โGentโ DarcyโฆFresh out of prison, heโs bent on cutting ties with the Creds, but when you’re a war counselor in a national gang, they don’t let you just walk away.
Injured and on the run, Jack lands on Hank’s doorstep, and makes her a proposition she canโt refuse: write his story about life inside one of the most powerful gangs in the country. Itโs simple โ sheโll get her career groove back, and heโll bury the gang, then disappear โ his version of freedom.
Only problem is, they canโt help falling for each other, and theyโve both got something to hide that could blow up in their faces. With time running out and gang enforcers closing in, will the trust theyโve forged survive the ultimate test?

Excerpt:
Well, heโd wanted hidden, and now he was hidden. Her Aunt Henry wouldโve done the same, she knew. Certainly the roundup of misfits whoโd odd-jobbed their way through here over the years bore testament to that. If he needed a doctor, sheโd see to it. But the police, and whoever was after him? That was his concern, not hers. Hank wanted no part of it.
He could just park it in the cooler for a few minutes, stay out of sight while the help clocked in, and be on his merry way. Sheโd make sure of it.
Fists pounded on the door sheโd just locked. She jerked to attention, pushing off the cooler. โPretty sure that ainโt a Jehovahโs Witness,โ she muttered. Shit! This wasnโt part of the deal. Now what?
The pounding continued. Whoever was on the other side wasnโt going away. If she didnโt answer the door it would only make things worse, most likely for her and โCooler Man.โ Hank forced her feet to move. Act calm. Think calm.
Just in case that didnโt work, she unearthed the Smith & Wesson .32 revolver her aunt kept stashed in one of the utensil drawers, and shoved it in her pants pocket.
Adrenaline and fear pulsed through her, propelling her forward. One foot in front of the other. No big deal. Sheโd answer the door, see about the fist pounder and then he or she, or they, would leave. Or she could get shot. Yeah, right. No big deal.

Comingย Soon!
Blurb:
Nick Geary, jaded clan leader of human guardians, the Keepers, is doomed to love a human woman whoโs forgotten him, time after time, for thirteen years: Libby Klink, a skittish accountant whoโs as terrified of her recent and strange intuitions as she is of her mundane existence.
When Nick is ordered by the clanโs guiding force to seek Libbyโs help in defending the clan against enemy Betrayers, romance sizzles as the pair forms an unlikely alliance in their desperate search to discover the key to the clanโs salvationโwhich Libby alone holds.
But a haunting secret could cost Nick everything, and in a race against time, both will be forced to choose between their hearts and duty. Can their love, and the clan survive, or will the very forces that drew them together ultimately destroy them?
