Sealed with a Curse: A Weird Girls Novel
by Cecy RobsonCelia Wird and her three sisters are just like other 20-something girls—with one tiny exception: they're products of a backfired curse that has given each of them unique powers that make them, well, weird… The Wird sisters are content to avoid the local vampires, werebeasts, and witches of the Lake Tahoe region—until one of them blows up a vampire in self-defense. Everyone knows vampires aren't aggressive, and killing one is punishable by death. But soon more bloodlust-fueled attacks occur, and the community wonders: are the vampires of Tahoe cursed with a plague? Celia reluctantly agrees to help Misha, the handsome leader of an infected vampire family. But Aric, the head of the werewolf pack determined to destroy Misha's family to keep the region safe, warns Celia to stay out of the fight. Caught between two hot alphas, Celia must find a way to please everyone, save everyone, and oh yeah, not lose her heart to the wrong guy—or die a miserable death. Because now that the evil behind the plague knows who Celia is, it’s coming for her and her sisters. This Wird girl has never had it so tough. .

by S. M. GunnThe best of the best—on land, in the air, on or under the seas—they are good to go, anytime...anywhere...Cold FireThe daring rescue of a Russian scientist from the frigid waters of the Bering Sea takes clockwork precision and a team of the best SEAL commandos the military has ever trained. And failure is not an option because the conscience-stricken defector carries information that leads to a second mission of such intensity it makes the first seem like a kindergarten game. Now a deep-running nuclear sub transporting a six-man SEAL team races toward an explosive destiny in one of the coldest places on Earth. And on an ice-covered island in Russian territorial waters—where the secret construction of biological weapons of mass destruction is taking place under heavy guard-an impossible search-and-snatch operation will either change the course of history . . . or end with one hell of a bang.
SEALs Sub Strike: Operation Emerald Red (SEALs Sub Strike #3)
by S.M. GunnThe SEALs never rest -- but neither do their enemies. Borders have been redrawn, old enemies have fallen, and new ones have arisen from the ashes to threaten civilization. While the Cold War has ended, it has left in its wake a Russia more unpredictable, more unstable, and more dangerous than ever before. Grigory Rostov, a former commander in the elite Spetznaz special forces -- turned arms dealer, knows how to procure some of the former USSR's most destructive and vulnerable weaponry. Selling these next generation Weapons of Mass Destruction to his client will almost certainly precipitate a war between the US and China, opening the door for Russia to be reclaim its place as a the sole remaining superpower, and making Rostov a millionaire in the process. The only thing that can prevent Taiwan from becoming Ground Zero in the next World War: a top secret new unit within the Navy SEALs.
SEALs Sub Strike: Operation Black Snow (SEALs Sub Strike #2)
by S.M. GunnJust as the ground war in Desert Storm begins, the U.S. military must destroy the most deadly weapon in Saddam Hussein's arsenal. An air strike is too risky. An infantry charge is too slow. Next move -- bring in the Navy SEALs! The place itself is meaningless -- a small island in the Persian Gulf. But on the island is a rocket full of anthrax. If it explodes, it is close enough to Kuwait to kill thousands of Kuwaitis and servicemen. If it is launched on a rocket, it is capable of reaching the U.S. military bases in Saudi Arabia. Only one group can destroy the weapon -- the Navy SEALs. Using a secret U.S. submarine, the SEALs understand how dangerous their mission will be. Even if they are able to get past Saddam's Republican Guard to their objective, the objective itself could kill them all. But with thousands of lives and the war itself hanging in the balance, they know there is no room for even the slightest mistake.
