Captain Sophie Allard once lived for the precision and freedom of flying fighter jets. Now, after one decision derails her military career, she is rebuilding her future as a medical student at a Denver trauma center.

Then a dying gunshot victim pulls her close and whispers a cryptic message meant for someone else.

By morning, the dead man’s belongings have vanished. Security footage raises more questions than answers. Sophie is accused of murder, suspended from the hospital, and targeted by professional killers who believe she possesses something powerful enough to expose them.

Her only possible ally is Kai Lovac, a legendary assassin who has spent three years hiding from the same shadow organization now hunting Sophie.

Lovac knows the rules of survival. Trust no one. Leave no witnesses. Never allow emotion to interfere with the mission. But his closest friend died protecting Dossier 1627, a secret report connected to the Third Estate, a covert syndicate that manipulates governments, military institutions, corporations, and criminal organizations from behind the scenes. Lovac needs the information the dying man gave Sophie. Sophie needs Lovac alive long enough to prove she is innocent.

Neither intends to trust the other.

Their uneasy alliance pulls them into a dangerous conspiracy involving hidden laboratories, encrypted messages, secret files, corrupt officials, and assassins bound by their own deadly code. Every answer exposes another betrayal. Every ally carries a hidden agenda. Every step toward the truth places Sophie closer to the organization that has been watching her far longer than she realizes.

As the Third Estate closes in, Sophie must decide how far she will go to reclaim her life and whether the man trained to kill without hesitation is the only person capable of keeping her alive.

The Third Estate: Devil’s Tango is a fast-paced psychological thriller blending medical suspense, military action, espionage, conspiracy, mystery, and morally complex characters. Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent female protagonists, reluctant alliances, secret societies, professional assassins, buried family secrets, and high-stakes suspense where trust can prove more dangerous than betrayal.

What if overthinking isn’t your problem? What if it’s your mind’s way of trying to protect you?

Many people spend years trying to silence their thoughts, think more positively, or become more confident, only to find themselves trapped in the same patterns of overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion. Dissolving Overthinking offers a different perspective.

Rather than treating the mind as something that needs to be controlled or fixed, this book explores why overthinking develops in the first place and how lasting change comes from understanding yourself more deeply. By learning to work with your mind instead of against it, you’ll discover a calmer, more compassionate way of relating to yourself and the world around you.

Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, mindfulness, somatic practices and real coaching conversations, Alex Østergaard combines practical tools with personal stories to help you move beyond constant mental noise and reconnect with your inner sense of clarity.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:
• Understand the hidden purpose behind overthinking and anxious thoughts
• Break free from people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the fear of being judged
• Build genuine self-worth that isn’t dependent on achievement or external validation
• Develop emotional resilience by learning how to feel difficult emotions instead of avoiding them
• Make decisions with greater confidence and trust yourself again
• Create inner peace without sacrificing your ambition or desire to grow

Whether you’re a sensitive high achiever, a professional navigating chronic stress, or simply someone who feels stuck in an endless cycle of analysis, worry, and self-criticism, this book offers a practical path toward greater freedom.

Dissolving Overthinking isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about understanding the patterns that have been running your life, meeting them with compassion instead of resistance, and discovering the calm, confidence, and authenticity that have been there all along.

A Superhuman Soldier. A Galaxy on the Brink. And a War No One Can Stop.

Alejandro Hernandez, callsign Phrixus, is a former soldier turned mercenary with psionic abilities and no shortage of enemies. In a galaxy still raw from Earth's destruction, he navigates bounty jobs, alien politics, and the kind of moral weight that doesn't wash off. When a catastrophic experiment unleashes something that shouldn't exist, and a galactic civil war begins splitting alliances down to the family level, Phrixus finds himself at the center of a conflict far larger than any contract he ever signed.

SOLVING the CLOUD thinking game by Lori Higham

GET THIS BOOK ON AMAZON

SOLVING the CLOUD thinking game is a business fable about cloud governance, enterprise architecture, technology leadership, and the hidden forces that create organizational complexity.

Through the alternating perspectives of a CTO and CISO, the story follows two experienced technology leaders who are both trying to solve the same enterprise problems—but from entirely different viewpoints. Engineering is focused on innovation and delivery. Security is focused on risk and governance. Finance wants predictable cloud costs. Compliance demands consistency. Every team believes it is making the right decisions, yet the organization becomes more fragmented, more expensive, and more difficult to understand with every new initiative.

Unlike traditional books about cloud computing, cloud security, enterprise architecture, or digital transformation, this story explores the human side of technology leadership. It examines how cloud complexity emerges naturally whenever talented people optimize their own part of the system without a shared understanding of the whole. As platforms multiply, exceptions accumulate, and organizational silos deepen, leaders discover that governance alone cannot solve the problem. The challenge is not simply better process—it is developing a common perspective that allows Engineering, Security, Finance, Compliance, and executive leadership to make better decisions together.

Written as a short business novel, SOLVING the CLOUD thinking game combines executive realism, organizational psychology, systems thinking, and understated humor with practical insights drawn from real enterprise experience. Readers who have participated in architecture reviews, cloud migrations, security meetings, FinOps discussions, audit reviews, or digital transformation initiatives will recognize many of the conversations and situations portrayed throughout the story.

Whether you are a CTO, CIO, CISO, enterprise architect, cloud engineer, technology executive, IT leader, governance professional, security architect, FinOps practitioner, consultant, or business leader navigating cloud transformation, this book offers a fresh way to understand why intelligent organizations often create unnecessary complexity—and how shared visibility, common architecture, and aligned decision-making can produce faster delivery, lower costs, stronger security, and more resilient enterprises.

Combat nurse and engineer Elena Parks survived the fall of New Terra. She crossed through space with nineteen other women and a single plan—build a colony where humanity could begin again. Then their shuttle goes down on Xytheos, a world ruled by genetically engineered warriors, and an ancient AI called the Concord Stone names the survivors Starfallen Brides. For the first time in a thousand years, the Stone summons the planet's twenty most powerful rulers to claim a mate. Elena is matched to Rythar, Warlord of the Green Reach, a male who commands the jungle itself and has never been beaten.

Rythar expected obedience. He gets a brilliant, stubborn woman who rejects the bond between them and refuses to be claimed. He could take her by force. Her defiance makes him choose something no ruler of the Green Reach has offered anyone else: patience. He will guard her and prove himself worth wanting, until she sees him as more than her captor. But Elena and Rythar are not alone on Xytheos. A rival wants them both dead, and the arrival of the human women has woken something far older than the warlords beneath the planet's fragile peace.

The harder Elena fights the pull between them, the clearer the danger becomes. The Starfallen Brides are bound to one another, and to powers that would rather see them silenced than understood. As the planet closes in around the women who fell from the stars, Elena has to decide how much she will risk for her friends, and Rythar has to decide what he is willing to burn to keep her. Because some bonds are worth burning worlds to protect.

Hey Diddle Diddle, the Runaway Riddle: A Retired Sleuth and Dog Historical Cozy Mystery by P.C. James

Now retired, Inspector Ramsay, of Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries fame, has adopted a dog, Bracken, and taken to hiking the highest peaks of his native lands, Scotland and England. 

In the English Lake District, he and Bracken aid a young woman to escape her pursuers. She's been held captive for days before escaping. Ramsay is puzzled by this because he's heard on the radio, and read in the local papers, only that she'd run away from home. Had the kidnappers not demanded a ransom? Or were her parents and the police keeping that quiet, hoping for someone to give them a lead on where she was being held? This last didn't sit right with Ramsay, but nor did the idea that the kidnappers hadn't asked for a ransom. Ramsay begins to investigate, only to have the young woman run away from him. What's going on here in the quiet English countryside?
