From the Publisher:

What do politics, living donor kidney transplants, and the current opioid crisis all have in common?

Sarah Golden and Jackie Larsen, best friends since nursing school, could never have imagined that they’d end up as amateur sleuths searching to find a killer—for the second time! Jackie, a stay-at-home mom with marriage troubles, is racing the clock to get her young son, Wyatt, a living kidney donor to avoid the ravages of dialysis. Sarah, who has been living her career in the fast-paced world of organ transplantation, is helping expedite Wyatt’s kidney transplant. Then a much-despised hospital colleague turns up dead of an opiate overdose—despite the fact that she’d never used drugs and Sarah smells foul play. Her curiosity and tenacity pull Jackie, once again, into a life-and-death adventure that neither woman could have expected.

Armed with smarts, tenacity, big hearts, and their raucous senses of humor, the pair gets the help of a few colorful friends to pursue the killer and take on the mission in the only style they both know how: straight on and arm-in-arm as the friends they’ve always been.

MATCH is available at most audiobook retailers, including Libro.fm, Chirp, Amazon, and Audible.

New Release: FOUR TRICKS

Yo, Marco:

Blow up my mother f-ing house, and I’m gonna strike back. No one gets to pull that kind of shit and live. Lucky for me, I got more tricks up my sleeve…seven of them, in fact.

Love, Dax

Oh yeah, FOUR TRICKS by Elizabeth Knight, the third book in the Hidden Empire series, is available for your listening pleasure. Thanks to Tantor Audio for making it happen.

From the Publisher:

I took some hard hits, but now it’s time to strike back.

Marco Tesoro wanted a fight, and a fight is what he’s gonna get. The guy just doesn’t know when to stop. First he sent hitmen after me. Now he blew up my mother f-ing house. No one gets to pull that kind of shit and live—a fact he’ll be finding out soon enough.

In the aftermath of his attacks, we’re struggling to recover, dealing with the FBI, and adjusting to having Cameron back in my life. But there’s no better time to remind the world who Two Tricks really is. At the top of my hit list are the Mad Dogs, a rival MC crew. They’re the movers and dealers for Marco’s drugs business. Let’s see how he feels when I cut off his arms and then realizes I’m just barely getting started.

My men are behind me one-hundred percent, even as they work through their own issues—including the new man no one saw coming. None of that will stop them from riding into war with me, though, because it will take all of us to topple this crime lord’s empire, one piece at a time.

Contains mature themes.

TWO TRICKS can be found wherever audiobooks are sold, including Libro.fm, Chirp, Apple Books, and Audible.

New Release: EDGE OF FEAR

A man with dark hair and a long salt and pepper beard; he wears a white t-shirt and black leather jacket and looks over his sunglasses with a "come hither" expression. A chrome and black motorcycle in the foreground; mountains in white mist and teal are in the background; text in white lettering: Edge of Fear, Freya BarkerRomance is in the air today ‘cuz the audiobook for Edge Of Fear (Arrow’s Edge MC Book 4) by Freya Barker just released.

Special thanks to Spectrum Audiobooks for trusting us to tell this story.

From the Publisher:

Ink and sawdust meets brisket and moxie

I’m a tattooed casualty.

A charmer, a fraud, a skeptic, and a carpenter.

My name is Tse.

I’m cocky enough to believe my own lies, but too oblivious to see the truth is already out there.

I’m a cautious perfectionist.

A sister, a scrapper, a dreamer, and a workhorse.

My name is Sophia.

I’m capable enough to plan ahead, yet too powerless to avoid getting blindsided.

We’re complete opposites—one who plays it safe, the other a thrill-seeker—but when old sins resurface, bringing violence to the present, our path forward becomes clear.

EDGE OF FEAR is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

New Release: THREE TRICKS

audiobook cover with image of a pink-haired woman with multiple tatoos. The foreground shows a motorcycle. Text is in pink cursive "Three" with white block letters "Tricks". Full text: Three Tricks, Hidden Empire #2 by Elizabeth Knight, Read by Amy DeuchlerRemember when I said I wouldn’t ever work with MC gangs? Yeah, well. Joke’s on them ‘cuz I just pulled another trick out of my sleeve…

 

THREE TRICKS by Elizabeth Knight released to audio this week, narrated by yours truly, thanks to Tantor Audio.

 

From the Publisher:

Remember when I said Two Tricks doesn’t work with MC gangs? Well, I might have jumped the gun on that.

The leaders of the Phantom Saints MC kidnapped me in order to broker a deal with Tricks. Joke’s on them when they find out the truth. But that is the least of my worries right now after saving my best friend from getting taken by a rival MC.

Fun fact—turns out I’m now number one on everyone’s hit lists. Someone out there doesn’t like me, or the fact that I joined forces with the Phantom Saints. They are pulling out all the stops to make sure I don’t last the week breaking up this alliance. Too bad for them: I’m just not that easy to kill. F–k with my family and I’ll end your life, simple as that.

Problem is, with so many players on the field, I can’t figure out who is calling the shots. Looks like I’m gonna need to pull another trick out of my sleeve . . .

Contains mature themes.

Get THREE TRICKS at most places audiobooks are sold, including Libro.fm, Chirp, Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books.

TWO TRICKS by Elizabeth Knight released today on audio and that’s final. Period. The end. Thank Tantor Audio for this gift.

Why did it take this long? No. No, you don’t get to ask why.

Tricks says you want anything, you play by the rules. You don’t like it? Well, then you’re gonna get a visit from me. In your ears.

From the Publisher:

Listen up, and listen good—I’ll only say this shit once!

Two Tricks does not work with MC gangs, and that’s final. Period. The end.

No. No, you don’t get to ask why.

Tricks runs the West Coast smuggling ring, so if you want anything to come and go, you play by the rules. You don’t like it? Well, then you’re gonna get a visit from me. Who am I? I’m Dax, his enforcer, and don’t let my height or the pink hair fool you. I’ll take your ass down. Now, can someone explain to me why the hell the Phantom Saints MC gang sent someone to try and talk me into getting Tricks to work with them? Or maybe how those same assholes ended up kidnapping me? You can bet your ass, as soon as I get the chance, I will make them regret ever having me as a “house guest,” even if they are sexy as sin. No one uses me and gets away with it!

Contains mature themes.

TWO TRICKS is available wherever audiobooks are sold, like Audible.
