Fearless

Sybil Bartel

Romance / Contemporary / War

Bodyguard. Sniper. Morally corrupt. I didn't care who I aimed at. You paid me, I pulled the trigger. I sold my skills to the highest bidder, and trust me, I had skills. The Marines trained me to aim a sniper rifle, but life taught me to get the job done—at any expense. Except hostage recovery wasn't on my short list. I didn't care that the personal security firm that'd hired me was paying double to get some rich businessman's daughter back without casualties. I didn't negotiate with terrorists. Ever. I had my own plan. Take out anyone in my sights, recover the hostage, and get out. But then I laid eyes on the half-naked, bleeding brunette, and I changed my mind.

Now they were going to find out how fearless a bodyguard could be. *FEARLESS is the fifth standalone book in the Alpha Bodyguard Series The Alpha...

Young Kit Carson

H. Bedford-Jones

Mystery

Kit Carson (1809 – 1868) was a real-life pulp hero in his own manner, an American frontiersman who braved all manner of danger as he carved out a place in history, opening the western states to all America. He was a fur trapper and wilderness guide, Indian agent, and U.S. Army officer. Few people described pulp protagonists, real and fictional, as well as H. Bedford-Jones (1887-1949), referred to by his contemporaries as "the King of the Pulps".Originally published in 1939 in the Toronto Star Weekly, and never before reprinted, Young Kit Carson is a he-man adventure of the American frontier, high in the Rocky Mountains. Carson battles to maintain peaceful relations between the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes, while maintaining order among the fur-trappers competing for precious pelts.Bold Venture Press presents this forgotten pulp classic through arrangement with Camille "Caz" Cazedessus, publisher of Pulpdom, the legendary journal documenting pulp fiction...
