Chief is a Protector, a cat who has a calling to protect humans from vermin and evil. Nicknamed the Bronx Bruiser, he moves with his owner, Sam, to a high-rise complex that has gone green and uses cats rather than poison to drive out the rodents. Chiefs daughter, Mouse, was born a runt. She struggles to live up to her fathers significant reputation and soon realizes that she must solve her problems not through brute strength but through alliances with others. She works with Ladie, an advice-giving canary; Carl, an escaped cockatoo who hangs out with pigeons; and Little Foot, a small, fancy mouse with very good ears. When a group of hoodlum rats, led by a deviant lab rat named Bragar, break the truce between the cats and the rats, a battle for the apartment complex ensues. Faced with losing her home and all her father has fought for, Mouse and her allies must stand up to Bragar. Can a small amount of courage have giant impact? In this novel for middle readers, a small, fluffy cat teams up with a canary, a cockatoo, and a fancy mouse in order to protect their home from a villainous hoodlum rat.

I finally have everything I've always wanted: I'm part of a team with my brother and best friend, I'm spending my free time on missions hunting down evil monsters, and I'm about to turn nineteen, the age we fully come into our power. Hell, I even get to hang out with my favorite hellhound, Ralph, on my downtime. But it all still just feels empty, pointless even. Guilt is a b*tch. After last month's disaster, the members of Team Six abandoned Guild Headquarters, leaving me alone to deal with the crippling shame for my part in the events that night. And I can't say that I blame them. If I could, I'd run away from all of this pain too. Attacks on campus mixed with dreams that leave me feeling more exhausted than refreshed, have me yearning for our simple life back home in the cabin and wishing that we never joined The Guild at all. Losing focus when I'm supposed to be hunting down all the things that go bump in the night doesn't instill much confidence in my friends either. If I want to secure an official spot on a team, I need to snap out of my grief and become the protector I've always dreamed of becoming. And I need to do it quickly. Attacks are happening in record numbers and the fate of our world as we know it is quite literally on our shoulders. Just when I'm starting to put the pieces of my life back together, Atlas and his team come barreling back into town to stir everything up again. Six is just as alluring as ever, only now I know their big secret. The question is, do I follow my gut and protect them, or do I do what I've been trained to do and never look back? My family and The Guild may have trained me well when it comes to decapitating monsters, but they didn't train me for the one thing more difficult in this line of work...figuring out who exactly I can trust. ◆◆◆Dreams of Hell is Book Three in The Protector Guild series and it does end on a cliffhanger. Max's story is a slow-burn why choose / poly / reverse harem urban fantasy series. Get ready for action, spice, and intrigue.◆◆◆

About the Book The Protectors, Part I follows along with the Williams family during the final years, months, and days up to the translation of Christ’s Church. Bruce is a well-renowned international lawyer. His wife, Alyce, is a fiery redhead but through her years of training as an ER doctor and self-defense training she is well able to control her sudden impulses. Their son, Robbie, is a southern Border Patrol Agent. Their daughter, T’ryce, is a precocious teenager going into her senior year of high school at a Messianic Church School in California. She becomes proficient not only in all of her studies but also in table tennis, pickleball, and self-defense. The enemy of the human soul is self-evident in this book as the Williams family, through their talent and skills and the guidance, protection, and direction of the Lord, thwarts daily his designs on their lives. The Protectors, Part I is very clear, right from the beginning, that the Williams family and those they join with are not Messianic Christians just in word only but also in deeds, aggressive and decisive deeds. It is hoped the readers will take away from this work the urgency of making sure they have received Christ as Savior and Lord before it becomes too late. About the Author John O. Grimley publicly made his profession of faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior and was baptized by a Nigerian pastor, one of his father’s associates. Now semi-retired and an avid fan of the sport of pickleball, he is employed part-time by the Ray & Joan Kroc Community Center (The Salvation Army). His primary responsibility is to develop the game of pickleball through teaching and instruction and by running open court sessions, ladder leagues, clinics, tournaments, and pickleball and pizza nights. As of August 2020, he is a nationally certified pickleball coach. John is available to speak and teach at churches, fellowships, and Sunday Schools, as well as to audiences both in the religious and public sectors. Other books by John O.

Three classic, must-read novels from New York Times bestselling author Brenda Jackson’s The Protectors series, collected here in one volume for the first time! Forged in Desire When good girl Margo Connelly becomes Lamar “Striker” Jennings’s latest assignment, she knows she’s in trouble. And not just because he’s been hired to protect her from an underworld criminal. The reformed bad boy’s appeal is breaching all her defenses, and as the threats against her increase, Margo isn’t sure which is more dangerous: the gangster targeting her, or the far too alluring protector tempting her to let loose. Though Striker’s now living on the right side of the law, he’s convinced his troubled past keeps Margo out of his league. But physical chemistry explodes into full-blown passion when they go on the run together. Surrendering to desire could be a deadly distraction—or finally prove that he’s the only man qualified to keep her safe, and win her love. Seized by Seduction From the moment his eyes meet hers across the crime-scene tape, ex-con turned bodyguard Quasar Patterson knows he has to see the mysterious Dr. Randi Fuller again. She’s a renowned psychic investigator who can foresee danger for others, but not for herself. That makes Quasar doubly determined to watch over her—the closer, the better—as she’s drawn into a dangerous gang rivalry. Both her psychic gift and their blinding chemistry tell Randi that she and Quasar are fated to be entwined. Even as they surrender to the heat between them, there’s no guarantee of a happily-ever-after now that an enemy has her in his sights. And claiming a future will take more than Quasar’s strength and skill. If he can’t risk the heart he’s always held in check, they’ll both lose for good… Locked in Temptation Police detective Joy Ingram’s connection to elite security expert Stonewall Courson is instant. Undeniable. Electric. But her commitment to protect and serve has always come first. Everything else is secondary—especially when she uncovers an underground surrogate baby-making ring. Joy can’t risk a distraction during the most important case of her career, not even one as sexy as reformed ex-con Stonewall. There are few things Stonewall values more than a strong woman. But when Joy’s investigation draws her into a deadly conspiracy that goes deeper than she ever imagined, he must convince her that he’s the best man to protect her. And while he puts his life on the line to save hers, the insatiable attraction between them becomes the one danger neither of them can escape. Titles originally published in 2017

The inked mountain rescue biker is a sex-on-legs hunk, and her knickers aren’t the only ones that melt in a flash at his wicked smile. Ronan, however, keeps his distance and simply becomes another client of her cleaning firm, until the morning she turns up and finds his cottage trashed, and her life is turned upside down. Bear Shifter Ronan recognizes his mate the minute he scents her. Having her clean for him means he can watch over her from afar, because to claim her as his mate and sub is out of the question.

I failed Caleb once because I was a coward. And he ended up paying the price. Never again... Ten years of war and the loss of nearly his entire family have left thirty-four-year-old former sniper, Jace Christenson, with nothing to come home to. And he prefers it that way. Life consists of his work in an underground vigilante group, the near-constant search for the last remaining link to who he used to be, and a string of meaningless sexual encounters that serve only one purpose... to make it easier to not feel anything anymore. But when Jace gets the call that the young man he saved two years earlier has gone missing, he's forced to deal with the truth he's been trying to deny from the moment he laid eyes on Caleb Cortano. That the young man is so very much more than just the exception to all his rules... You know how if something shatters when it breaks, there's no way to find all the pieces to put it back like it once was? Maybe sometimes it's better not to even try... Nineteen-year-old Caleb Cortano has been barely hanging onto his sanity in the two years since the truth about his father's depravities came to light. A victim of the man's crimes himself, Caleb has only managed to find any semblance of peace when he's in the presence of the man who saved him once before. But when he finally comes to accept that Jace Christenson wants nothing to do with someone who's shattered beyond repair, Caleb finds another way to seek solace from the pain inside. As the fear of being reunited with the father he both fears and misses becomes more and more likely, desperation has Caleb doing something foolish that brings him face to face with the only man he's ever wanted... but who doesn't want him back. Caleb stays with me until we get some answers... just me... When Caleb's life is threatened, Jace refuses to walk away a second time. Even if protecting Caleb means he's risking his own heart, Jace isn't going anywhere. At least not until he can put some of the missing pieces of Caleb's life back together. But will Caleb be able to do the same for the equally broken Jace? Will two shattered men be able to find all the missing pieces to be who they were truly meant to, or is Caleb right? Some things just aren't worth trying to fix...

The last thing Ben Shepherd wanted was another war. But sometimes the universe won’t take no for an answer. His body and spirit mangled by a lifetime of combat, Shepherd, a retired Navy SEAL, has retreated to the desolate desert of New Mexico to heal his wounds and dodge his demons. All he wants now is peace and quiet. Both are shattered one starry night, when an alien ship crashes nearby. Out of the ship crawls the last, dying member of a conquered civilization. It’s been shot down by an extraterrestrial enemy, the vanguard of a ravenous force hunting for a new homeland. With its last gasp, the wounded alien injects Shepherd with a high-tech serum that gives him near superhuman powers. Now, with a new body but a soul as fractured as ever, Shepherd becomes the reluctant leader of the human resistance against the coming invasion. With enemies on all sides, the man who couldn’t bear the guilt of seeing one more friend die in battle now finds himself charged with protecting the entire planet.
