Book Description
Centurion Lucius Titus Justus is a devoted Roman soldier. He oversees the city of Capernaum with fairness and diligence. Though still tenuous, Lucius has cultivated a peaceful coexistence for the Jews and Romans he rules over. This is not the case for all of Judea. Factions of bandits threaten the peace of the province, and disloyalty among the Roman ranks tips the scales in favor of revolution. Lucius and his men soon learn of a plot against Pontius Pilate that could see the end of his rule. It seems one man, a Jewish priest who has been garnering both praise and skepticism for his wonderous acts, is a key element in a rogue centurion's plan to take power from Pilate. Lucius is familiar with the stories circulating the region of this man and his radical teachings but has ignored this relatively harmless priest to tend to more pressing matters. That is, until his beloved servant becomes the victim of a tragic accident. The boy's injuries are beyond the abilities of Lucius's most trusted physician. He finds himself seeking out this Jesus for a miracle. What he finds is more than he ever imagined. Join The Centurion in his journey to faith and redemption.

Book Description
She's a professional bodyguard who leaves nothing to chance. He’s a rockstar who stands to lose everything. Billy Jean Parrish is a marine turned professional bodyguard. She thrives on discipline and order, and she’s never lost a client. But when she takes an investigative role in the attempted assassination of devilishly handsome rockstar, Ethan Storm, she’s out of her depth—in more ways than one. Can she keep Ethan safe and identify the perpetrator while keeping her emotions out of the equation? Ethan Storm turned his life around after a wild youth. Now, he needs to finish his last music tour before a quieter life awaits. But an attempt on his life has him reeling. When he hires the Rider team to boost his security and investigate the threat, he meets the inscrutable Billy Jean. He keeps his attraction for her in check, but when Billy Jean becomes the target, neither he nor his emotions will remain backstage. Sparks and bullets fly in this romantic suspense adventure. If you like action, adventure, and strong female leads, this is the series for you. The romance is medium with heat with some explicit language. Each novel shares characters, but they are also their own happily-ever-after. *** “I loved this book…. Now this book had an awesome leading lady Billy Jean. She was kick ass but still had feelings that Ethan was able to pull out. Ethan was also great and protective, but definitely let the professional Billy take charge. The romance was gradual and felt genuine. The suspense was really entertaining and had several plot twists thrown in. Definitely worth the read if you like your romance with some action, suspense, cute families, and danger. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series I missed out on!” —Goodreads Reviewer

ISBN: 1429917067
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 596
Book Description
Spanning a thousand years, and following the shifting fortunes of two families though the ages, this is the epic saga of Rome, the city and its people. Weaving history, legend, and new archaeological discoveries into a spellbinding narrative, critically acclaimed novelist Steven Saylor gives new life to the drama of the city's first thousand years — from the founding of the city by the ill-fated twins Romulus and Remus, through Rome's astonishing ascent to become the capitol of the most powerful empire in history. Roma recounts the tragedy of the hero-traitor Coriolanus, the capture of the city by the Gauls, the invasion of Hannibal, the bitter political struggles of the patricians and plebeians, and the ultimate death of Rome's republic with the triumph, and assassination, of Julius Caesar. Witnessing this history, and sometimes playing key roles, are the descendents of two of Rome's first families, the Potitius and Pinarius clans: One is the confidant of Romulus. One is born a slave and tempts a Vestal virgin to break her vows. One becomes a mass murderer. And one becomes the heir of Julius Caesar. Linking the generations is a mysterious talisman as ancient as the city itself. Epic in every sense of the word, Roma is a panoramic historical saga and Saylor's finest achievement to date.

Book Description
At the peak of Rome's might, a dragon is born among eagles, an heir to a line both blessed and cursed by the Gods for ages. Emperor Septimius Severus’ war against the Caledonians has ended with a peace treaty. Rome has won. As a reward for the blood they have shed, many of Rome’s warriors have been granted a reprieve from duty, including Lucius Metellus Anguis, prefect of the now famous Sarmatian cavalry. The Gods seem finally to have granted Lucius a peaceful life as he builds a new home for his family upon an ancient hillfort in the south of Britannia. Lucius now finds that, after years of war and brutality, the most elusive peace, the peace within, is finally within his grasp. But heroes are never without enemies, and Lucius, Rome’s famed Dragon, has many. After an argument with traitorous local politicians, and a quest in which he is confronted by a dark goddess, Lucius realizes that his pastoral idyll is at an end. When war erupts in Caledonia once more, he is called away only to be assaulted on all fronts by his most deadly enemy. The choices presented to Lucius by the Gods, his allies, and his friends are clear and terrifying. He can hand victory and power over to the wickedest men in the Empire, or he can fight for his life to create the world he believes in. Will Lucius’ enemies and the powers of darkness overwhelm and destroy him? Or will he find the strength to survive the trials he faces and protect the people he loves? This time, not even the Gods know... Isle of the Blessed is the fourth book in Adam Alexander Haviaras’ #1 bestselling Eagles and Dragons historical fantasy series. Fans of Marion Zimmer Bradley, David Gemmell, and Bernard Cornwell will love this ground-breaking series that combines accurate historical detail with ancient religion and elements of fantasy.
