Product: The Mundane Work of Vengeance (Baer Creighton Book 2)
Description: You won’t put down The Mundane Work of Vengeance until long after you turn the last page.

Six days before Baer Creighton cut down a cabal of dogfighters with wood alcohol, a sixteen-year-old girl disappeared while walking home from school in Asheville, North Carolina. Witnesses later claimed they saw her in the back of a police car.
Twenty-five years before that, an illegal fireworks plant blew up in Benton Tennessee, killing eleven, and raining M100 firecrackers over half a county. A few days later, a thirteen-year-old boy learned his highest calling was murder.
The Mundane Work of Vengeance begins where My Brother’s Destroyer ends: Baer Creighton taking buckets of gold to Mae, dreaming of driving west.
But Baer has no idea the treachery, blood, and misery in store. At his lowest with no one to trust, he’ll have to decide whether to save a family who betrays him—or a kidnapped girl buried in a basement, a half state away.
If he can save anyone at all.

Product: Enemy: An RH Motorcycle Club Romance (Deviants & Doves Series 1: The Aces Trilogy Book 3)
Description: Revenge is best served cold.

Hey b*tches, me again- Kiera, a.k.a The Cat. You remember my b*stard father and his merry mob of minions?

No? Well, let me give you a little recap.

I was going about, preparing to move against my most hated enemy and his cohorts when my cover was blown. But I guess that’s what I get for not minding my own damned business. Anyway! Just when I thought I had allies at my back, three officers with The Aces MC—yeah, those assholes—I found myself sh*t out of luck.
Thankfully though, I still have my little assassin and my trusty 9mil to keep me company. But when it comes out that father dearest has put a hit out for any and all of The Aces, I can’t walk away. Fun, right? Nope. Emotions can go to hell and so can those sexy as f*ck men who I can’t seem to walk away from. Can we work together long enough to finally take down the Solace Mob, without catching the eyes of Agent Venry and her creepy clown partner, or will I end up killing them myself?
But I’m not the thief who became famous at 15 years old and survived the mob’s hell in my past just to lay down and let some angst get in the way when I’m finally so close to the vengeance I deserve.

Those f*ckers won’t know what hit them.

I’m The Cat, and soon enough, they’ll learn that I always get what I want.

Product: The Fall
Description: This exciting sequel to The Nine will appeal to fans of Scott Lynch, V.E. Schwab, and Ellen Kushner.

An apothecary clerk and her ex-mercenary allies travel across the world to discover a computing engine that leads to secrets she wasn't meant to know - secrets that could destroy humanity.

Eight months ago, Rowena Downshire was a half-starved black-market courier darting through the shadows of Corma's underside. Today, she's a (mostly) respectable clerk in the Alchemist's infamous apothecary shop, the Stone Scales, and certainly the last girl one would think qualified to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders a second time. Looks can be deceiving.

When Anselm Meteron and the Alchemist receive an invitation to an old acquaintance's ball - the great duke who financed their final, disastrous mercenary mission 14 years earlier - they're expecting blackmail, graft, or veiled threats related to the plot to steal the secrets of the Creator's Grand Experiment. They aren't expecting a job offer they can't refuse or a trip halfway across the world to rendezvous with the scholar whose research threw their lives into tumult: the Reverend Doctor Phillip Chalmers.

Escorting Chalmers to the Grand Library of Nippon with her mismatched mercenary family is just a grand adventure to Rowena until she discovers a powerful algebraic engine called the Aggregator. The Aggregator leads Rowena to questions about the Grand Experiment she was never meant to ask and answers she cannot be allowed to possess. With her reunited friends, Rowena must find a way to use the truths hidden in the Grand Library to disarm those who would hunt down the nine subjects of the Creator's Grand Experiment, threatening to close the book on this world.

Praise for Keepers of the Stone :

"Keepers of the Stone is a first effort for author Clement and lucky for us there are more to come… this well-written, fast paced, intriguing… story wove fantasy with real history. In addition, the Polish history here was new to me, which gave the story real depth. Starting the story in the middle of action is always a winner in my book, and the characters of Malka and Liza were deftly handled. The book is a keeper! I'd like to see it sitting on my bookshelf---quite frankly. Kudos Sir Clement!"
- Catherine Lanigan, New York Times bestselling author.
