Alison Chambers https://bit.ly/4oirL6j Hello Alison! Your books have a flavor of adventure. I love the covers too. They have a super romantic feeling. I wish you well with all of your projects.

Who, out of all your books would be your absolute favourite hero or heroine and why?

I would say the heroine of my latest book, “The Magician’s Daughter,” Kate Kavanaugh. Kate is a captain in the newly-formed Office of Strategic Services (OSS). In doing research for the book, I learned about the amazing contributions women made to that organization and to the World War II war effort. I decided to make the main character one of those women and chronicle her struggles and the challenging reasons behind why she decided to serve. “The Magician’s Daughter” is the first in a series of Kate Kavanaugh books and I hope to help readers become more aware of the many important roles that women played, risking their lives during World War II, acting as undercover agents, code-breakers, etc.

How long does it usually take to write a book?

Usually six months, but then it takes at least another six months to do the editing and fine-tuning.

If you could be one of your villains, who would it be?

I love to hate the villainess in “The Magician’s Daughter.” Her name is Ulrike Gast and she is a sneaky but sultry German agent. I enjoy writing about her and making readers love to hate her too. It’s fun!

Do you do a lot of research for your novels? Please give example.

I majored in political science and history and have a life-long interest in American history, particularly the World War II era. As mentioned above, I researched the role of women in the OSS, how the OSS came to be formed, when it was formed. I also research every facet of my writing. For example, since this book is about the US Army Air Force in England during World War II, I researched that, read the book “Twelve O’ Clock High,” watched the TV series of the ...

The latest Paladin League novel, Wicked Ambition, is available, and it’s packed with everything I love writing: high-stakes danger, a hero and heroine who work as a team, and who never expected to fall for each other…especially not while being hunted by mobsters.

Ayla Desmond plays by the rules—until her twin vanishes in a country on the verge of chaos. She rushes to the rescue, knowing she has the best chance of finding her sister before it’s too late.

Enter Oziah “Wizard” West: a covert Special Forces soldier with zero interest in commitment…except when Ayla crosses his path again. She’s the mystery woman who slipped out of his bed weeks earlier, the one he can’t get out of his head. Now she’s in danger and absolutely not interested in getting involved with a man she believes to be a mercenary.

What follows? A deadly game of survival, tangled loyalties, and a love that defies every expectation.

If you’re in the mood for:

🔥 A protective hero with a complicated past

💔 A fish-out-of-water heroine who refuses to back down

🚁 Action, betrayal, and a pregnancy twist that changes everything

💕 A second chance romance with a guaranteed happy ending

Wicked Ambition is available now! Dive in today and let Ayla and Oz carry you straight into a high-stakes love story.

Brother Fox

Will loving her prevent him from becoming one of the gang?

When Kyle Ferguson learns that his father was the notorious North London crime boss Charlie Fox, things in his life begin to make sense. He needs to find out how he fits into the Fox family, but they don’t have anything to do with drug dealers, and that’s how Kyle makes his money.

On the day of Charlie’s funeral, Kyle meets Millie Jeffers, who wins his affections with her delicious brownies and her kind heart. Millie is smart, funny and hot—and Kyle is soon head-over-heels for her. She’s looking to expand her baking business, and financial backing from Kyle would really help her—as long as she never finds out she’d be laundering dirty money.

The Murder of Thomas Cardwell https://bit.ly/3GJY3Gw #1 NYT-bestselling author Stephanie Laurens returns with a perplexing case in which her favorite sleuths must untangle a web of interconnected motives to identify the man who killed Thomas Cardwell.
When Thomas Cardwell, an upstanding man-of-business, is murdered, Roscoe enlists the aid of the best investigators in London – namely Barnaby and Penelope Adair and Inspector Stokes of Scotland Yard – to solve the puzzle of why anyone would want to kill a man as honest as Cardwell.

Dispatched by Roscoe, London’s gambling king, to learn what “nefarious activity” an upstanding man-of-business has stumbled upon, Jordan Draper—Roscoe’s own man-of-business—arrives at Thomas Cardwell’s office to discover Cardwell very recently murdered.
Soon, Jordan finds himself working alongside the Adairs and Inspector Stokes as they search for clues as to why anyone would kill a man as unthreatening as Cardwell. Unexpectedly, Jordan finds himself drawn to Cardwell’s family, especially Thomas’s sister, Ruth, and as the investigation progresses, the greater Jordan’s compulsion to find the murderer and bring the family resolution and respite grows.
Clue by clue, motive by surprising motive, the investigators seek to identify Cardwell’s murderer and, along the way, uncover the “nefarious activity” he’d sought to bring to the authorities’ attention. But in a case cluttered with intertwined motives and a web of potential suspects related to each other as well as the victim, finding the kernel of truth amid the chaff is no easy matter. Only through enlisting the help of the investigators’ wider circle of supporters do they make any headway, and on the heels of uncovering a cascade of crimes, they finally—finally—close in on the man who murdered Thomas Cardwell.

A historical novel of 77,000 words interweaving mystery, crime, and a touch of romance.

Excerpt
Locke & Co.
E.J. Tett © 2025
All Rights Reserved

There is no jolt. Or shock. Or sudden, great intake of breath. Your eyes don’t snap open. This is no rebirth. It’s like waking up but not remembering the moment you were no longer asleep. You will hurt, depending on how you went, and you will scar, but you will live again. And that’s all that matters.

The whistle woke Allery from death, but it was the feeling of being smothered that made her heart hammer. She couldn’t move—the new-shower-curtain smell of the body bag seemed like the only thing between her and six foot of earth pressing down around her. No, it wouldn’t be six foot; they must’ve almost dug her out for her to have heard their signal. God, they couldn’t get to her quick enough.

Don’t panic. Don’t panic.

The material moved against her mouth when she breathed, so she clamped her lips together and exhaled hard through her nose instead. She didn’t dare open her eyes. She reminded herself sh...

The Guy from the Bakery by Birdie Song https://bit.ly/3Is3I4r A piece of cake, or a recipe for disaster.
Moonlight Chen loves her job—sort of. She doesn’t love her boss taking advantage of her, or that customer who won’t stop flirting. But she does love cake, and also kinda-sorta likes her coworker, Shane, even though he’s kinda-sorta-definitely rude. But that’s fine; it’s nothing a little sweetness can’t fix.
Baking is Shane Zhao’s dream career, but since cutting ties with his dad and moving to Perth, his job at Lovely Time Bakery has kept him front-of-house. When the boss forces everyone into a baking competition, Shane reluctantly agrees to team up with Moon—this’ll either be a piece of cake or a recipe for disaster.
The Guy from the Bakery is a sweet #OwnVoices grumpy/sunshine bakery romance, set in the world of Somerville Downs.
Contains: Disrespectful boss, customer to staff harassment, and references to spousal betrayal, infidelity, and addiction.

The Guy from the Bakery by Birdie Song https://bit.ly/3Is3I4r A piece of cake, or a recipe for disaster. Moonlight Chen loves her job—sort of. She doesn’t love her boss taking advantage of her, or that customer who won’t stop flirting. But she does love cake, and also kinda-sorta likes her coworker, Shane, even though he’s kinda-sorta-definitely rude. But that’s fine; it’s nothing a little sweetness can’t fix. Baking is Shane Zhao’s dream career, but since cutting ties with his dad and moving to Perth, his job at Lovely Time Bakery has kept him front-of-house. When the boss forces everyone into a baking competition, Shane reluctantly agrees to team up with Moon—this’ll either be a piece of cake or a recipe for disaster. The Guy from the Bakery is a sweet #OwnVoices grumpy/sunshine bakery romance, set in the world of Somerville Downs. Contains: Disrespectful boss, customer to staff harassment, and references to spousal betrayal, infidelity, and addiction.
