Invoked Page 18
Gregor had offered them the flat downstairs as a home and they’d agreed to it. Hilda had taken over the ‘looking after’ of Gregor and that suited Nea. It suited Gregor too, by the looks of things. Nea had her own man to look after now. Actually, it was the other way around. He looked after her.
Gregor had gotten over all of his mistrust of Earl eventually. Hilda had helped him realise that by reminding him that Nea wasn’t going to go away to Sydney or overseas, and that at the rate she and Earl copulated, they’d likely have six children in the next five years. Hilda’s arithmetic was a bit off. At least, Nea hoped it was.
Her gaze passed over the people who were the closest to her, noting the love and happiness as they shared a major life celebration. Hilda winked at her and Nea laughed. Hilda was so good for them all.
Then her gaze locked with Earl’s and she repeated her vows directly into his mind, feeling the right of them. Earl was a man who knew what was important in life. Nea was important to his life and Nea had to admit that he was just as necessary to her.

Hell On Wheels
Rhyll Biest
An imperious princess, an arrogant mercenary, a marriage of convenience, and one hell of a roller derby bout.
Princess Valeda fled Hell to hide from her mad brother, but a war on her realm sees her dragged straight back to seal a military alliance through marriage. Her betrothed? The Captain of Bloodshed and Slaughter, a royal bastard with blood black as night whose passion for her might prove as dangerous as the war with her brother. Valeda is going to need all of her wits, treachery and cunning—and some lessons learned through demon roller derby—to overcome her past, defeat the enemy, and survive her marriage.
Parallel Roads
Mel Teshco
What would you do, if you had the chance to revisit all your decisions, to fix all your mistakes?
Celebrity chef, Jessie McCormick is incredibly late. Driving his Hummer to the opening of his latest restaurant seemed like a much better idea than flying, but incomprehensible directions and a dodgy shortcut throws him instead into the driveway of a rickety old house. Hopeful of finding the house occupied – and its inhabitants capable of directing him to Brisbane – he heads inside.
Voices lead him into the attic, and there he finds no direction – and every direction. The attic is an endless line of doors and ladders, each taking Jessie down a different path of his life. In one, he is a celebrity chef, fêted by the world. In another, his mother is still alive. In a third, his beloved sister is dead.
But in all of them is a small, dusty town and a small, dusty restaurant, run by a woman named Tara. As Jessie races to find his way back to his own life, he must make the biggest decision of his life: rescue his sister or take his chance at true love.
Fish Out Of Water
Ros Baxter
Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum meets Splash in a sexy, smart-talking debut about a mermaid in a desert, a city under water, and the secret that no one is supposed to uncover.
Dirtwater’s straight-talking Deputy Sheriff Rania Aqualina has a lot on her plate: a nicotine addiction that’s a serious liability for a mermaid, a soldier-of-fortune ex who’s hooked on her Mum’s brownies, a gorgeous, naked stranger in her shower, and a mysterious dead blonde with a fish tattoo on Main Street.
Heading home to Aegira for a family wedding, Rania has a sinking feeling that’s got nothing to do with hydroporting seven miles under the sea and everything to do with the crazy situation. Now, if she can just steal a corpse, get a crazy Aegiran priest off her case, work out who the hell’s trying to kill her, and stop sleeping with the fishes, she might be able to unravel the mysteries. And maybe even save her own ass while she’s at it.
Fish out of Water is Stephanie Plum meets Splash, and the first book in a trilogy about Aegira, an underwater kingdom based on the historical Norse legend of Aegir.
Bite Deep
Rebekah Turner
From Rebekah Turner, author of the Applecross Chronicles series, comes a paranormal romance set among the biker werewolves of rural Tasmania.
Ben ‘Bulldog’ Jericho, president of the Diablo Dogs motorcycle club and werewolf alpha, bears the grim burden of leadership, punishing any who stray from pack rules. When one of his own is murdered, he knows justice must be served.
Constable Lydia Gault has fled a traumatic past on the mainland for her Tasmanian hometown of Camden — and she has blood ties to hunters of Jericho’s kind.
Now, Lydia and Jericho must join forces to hunt a killer, even as pack politics and werewolf hunters intrude on the small town, threatening to re-ignite an ancient war.
