Under the Sea With Addie

by Angela Parrino

Book cover

Addie notices that the sea floor is littered with coconut shells discarded by humans. Attempting to clean up the sea floor, Addie gathers the coconut shells during her daily jogs from one end of the sea to the other. She builds a home that gets so tall it eventually peeks through the water, causing humans to question its origin. Addie's mother encourages her to tell her story so that people may become more sensitive to taking care of the environment in which all creatures live.

Based on the behavior of the real life species of octopuses known as Amphioctopus marginatus, invertebrates who use coconut shells to build their homes beneath the water, Under the Sea with Addie is the fourth book of a six-book children's wellness set. It focuses on the theme of recycling, and as such, highlights environmental wellness. Appropriate for grades Pre-K-3, as well as the child in all of us!

Unguarded (Steel and Desire Book 3)

by Caryn M. McGill

Book cover

Special Agent Jamie Gallagher had a rough start. Saved from a sadistic mother, at age five, she spent several years in foster care until adopted by the Gallaghers. She has a stellar resume, having won an Olympic gold medal at seventeen and graduated at the top of her class at the Naval Academy and NYU law school. She recently transferred from D.C. to the New York office, conscripted by FBI chief, Rob Scarborough, for her unique skill set.

New York billionaire Colin MacKenzie led a privileged life but put his foot down at going to some snooty boarding school, preferring to hang out with his best friend, Steve Moretti, and his big Italian family. Finally relenting, he agreed to enter Harvard University, his parents' alma mater. Senior year, he and his college roommate sold an app in a multi-million-dollar deal, the funds freeing him from family money and allowing him to start his own company.

When a bomb is discovered at his company's headquarters, the FBI is called in and Jamie Gallagher assigned as bodyguard. Having recently left her Secret Service assignment, amid the dysfunction of D.C. politics, she's dismayed over another bodyguard assignment and is forced to move in to Colin's Manhattan penthouse until the suspect is apprehended.

Colin is immediately taken by the sultry redhead and has difficulty remembering that he's merely an assignment. Since Jamie must be at his side until the case is resolved, or he's dead, he worries that his role as a Dom at the elite St. Andrew's club will turn Jamie off. Or maybe kink is her thing. But he wants more than sex. As he uncovers her troubled past, he fears she'll never let her guard down.

Can Jamie leave behind her sordid beginnings and expose her damaged heart to a man she just met? Is she still a prisoner of her childhood? Can Colin break through the wall she's built to protect herself from being hurt again?

Unsaddened (Steel and Desire Book 4)

by Caryn M. McGill

Book cover

Special Agent Molly Masterson is in a dark place after the tragic death of her husband, Sam. If it wasn't for the nanny, her four-year-old daughter, Justice, would have suffered severe neglect. Her boss finally confronts her along with her three best gal pals, also FBI agents, forcing her back to work with the lure of heading a task force targeting the newly coined crime: Sextortion.

Suffolk County Chief ADA, Ian Turner, recently returned to Long Island from Detroit, Michigan, after the death of his fiancée, murdered for $24 and her engagement ring. He works at the playground of the elite St. Andrews Club on the weekends, training new submissives and performing dungeon master duties as needed.

Molly and Ian meet on a case targeting a young gay teen and their mutual attraction is instantaneous and combustible. But Molly isn't looking for love, it's too soon after Sam's death to even consider dating another man.

Meanwhile, Justice begins blurting messages from her dead father. Molly shrugs it off as the musings of a child with an active imagination, but unexplainable events make Molly wonder if Sam's spirit is haunting them. Should she consult a therapist or a psychic?

The case morphs into an internal scandal involving a local judge, who is promptly arrested. However, the fallout results in Ian and Molly being kidnapped by her co-conspirators seeking revenge. Captive on a small skiff in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, they fight for their lives…and for love.

Will Molly take another chance on love? Or are the risks of getting her heart broken again too great?

UnSub (Steel and Desire Book 1)

by Caryn M. McGill

Book cover

Six bodies turn up in a shallow grave near a beach on the east end of Long Island. The FBI discovers a connection to sex clubs in the area and a human trafficking ring. They receive a tip and believe a club in The Hamptons is the next target. Special Agent Alyx Cameron, a member of the FBI Division of Covert Affairs, volunteers to enter the club as a client in hopes of attracting the criminals and locating the headquarters and leaders of the ring.

Dr. Daniel Taylor left the lifestyle over a year ago and hasn't been to the exclusive St. Andrews Club since. When his best friend, the owner, asks him to train an FBI agent for undercover work, he initially resists, but the lure of having a week of steamy romance is tempting and besides, he'd be performing a service to the community.

Training a woman who is the opposite of a submissive proves challenging and before the week ends, Daniel realizes he cares for Alyx. Although Alyx agreed to the arrangement, she soon discovers it may be more than she bargained for and is further unsettled by her blossoming affection for Daniel.

Often at odds, can Alyx and Daniel work together for the greater good? Will they be able to keep their personal feelings separate from the assignment and remember it's just a job? Overcome by his need to protect her, can Daniel put those instincts aside and let Alyx do her job regardless of the danger?
