Only Good Enemies will be released July 18. Woot!
Only Good Enemies is book #2 in my Galactic Bonds science-fiction fantasy series. The book is told from the first-person points of view of Vesper Quill and Kyrion Caldaren, just like Only Bad Options, book #1.
GET THE EBOOK:
Here is a look at the cover art by the awesome Tony Mauro. I love the colors, the kick-butt couple, the starry background and other sci-fi touches, and of course the evil eye.
I’ve gotten so many nice comments about Only Bad Options, and I’m so excited that folks are reading and enjoying the book. Thanks!
ABOUT THE PRINT AND AUDIOBOOKS:
I will be releasing a print book for Only Good Enemies, and I will share those links when they go online (probably sometime in the spring).
I am hopeful that Only Good Enemies will also be available as an audiobook. I will share more information as it becomes available. Thank you for reading.
ONLY GOOD ENEMIES DESCRIPTION:
New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Estep continues her Galactic Bonds series with a new, action-packed adventure that blends science fiction, fantasy, and historical romance. This rollicking space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soul mates, slow burn, and enemies-to-lovers story. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, Bridgerton, and Pride and Prejudice.
A WOMAN ON A MISSION . . .
My name is Vesper Quill. I used to be a lowly lab rat, toiling away in obscurity developing brewmakers and other household appliances. But thanks to my seer magic and my own ingenuity, I’m now a Regal lady and the head of a successful corporation.
My mission? To destroy the Techwave, the dangerous group that has stolen my designs and plans to weaponize them against the Imperium. But when my mission takes an unexpected turn, I’m once again surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.
Further complicating matters is Kyrion Caldaren, an arrogant Regal lord whose fate is bound to mine. Kyrion doesn’t realize the two of us still have an unwanted connection that puts us both in grave danger . . . or does he?
A MAN SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES . . .
My name is Kyrion Caldaren. As the leader of the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite fighting force, I’ve been tasked with tracking down and destroying the Techwave before they seize control of the Archipelago Galaxy.
My other mission? Find a way to assassinate Lord Callus Holloway, the Imperium ruler who wants to take my psion power for his own. Holloway is also a threat to Vesper Quill, who haunts my thoughts, despite the broken bond and distance between us.
When I realize Vesper is in danger, my priorities change, and I vow to use all my telepathic, telekinetic, and other abilities to help her. I will save Vesper from her enemies and mine—even if I have to burn down the whole bloody galaxy.
Heart Stings, Elemental Assassin novella #19.5, will be released May 9. Woot!
GET THE EBOOK:
This 38,000-word novella is from the point of view of Lorelei Parker and takes place after the events of Last Strand, book #19.
Heart Stings originally appeared in the Dirty Deeds 2 anthology in 2022. Dirty Deeds 2 was a limited-time anthology. It is no longer available, so I am releasing Heart Stings as a stand-alone ebook.
I hope everyone enjoys reading (or re-reading) Lorelei’s story when it comes out. Thanks!
GET THE PRINT BOOK:
The Heart Stings print books will also include Winter’s Web, Elemental Assassin novella #17.5. So if you have been wanting to get Winter’s Web in print (other than in the Seasons of Sorcery anthology), this is your chance.
ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOK:
I am hopeful that Heart Stings will also be available as an audiobook. I will share more information as it becomes available. Thank you for reading.
HEART STINGS DESCRIPTION:
Heart stings can be the most dangerous wounds of all . . .
Lorelei Parker has had plenty of “heart stings” in her life—moments that are both happy and sad. With her grandmother’s recent marriage, Lorelei has had far more good times than bad lately.
That all changes when a ruthless Ashland underworld boss starts threatening her, but Lorelei is determined to figure out why the other crime boss is so interested in her thriving business. She vows to use her elemental Ice and metal magic to do whatever it takes to defend herself and her family.
Also in the mix is the mercurial Hugh Tucker. Lorelei doesn’t know what the vampire is up to, or if he’s a friend or an enemy. Tucker might even be something else, something more—if Lorelei can stay alive long enough to figure out whose side he’s really on . . .
Note: Heart Stings is a 38,000-word novella from the point of view of Lorelei Parker. It takes place after the events of Last Strand, book 19 in the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. Heart Stings first appeared in the Dirty Deeds 2 anthology in 2022.
