Escape From Donetsk

“Jon Smith returns for a perilous rescue mission behind the front lines of the conflict in Ukraine in this gritty and witty action thriller that only a veteran like Bob Asher could write. Escape from Donetsk is required reading for fans of Rapp and Harvath.” – Ross Sidor, Author of the Covert Action Thriller Series

“In the realm of military thrillers, few novels resonate with the authenticity and pulse-pounding excitement that Bob Asher’s “Escape from Donetsk” delivers. Author Bob Asher masterfully intertwines personal sacrifice with a high-stakes rescue mission, creating a story that is both thrilling and deeply human.” – Steve Lepper, Creator of the Facebook Military Thriller Book Group

ESCAPE FROM DONETSK is a story of love, loyalty, sacrifice, deception, betrayal, vengeance, and tons of action. CIA Paramilitary Officer Jon Smith is at his core a good and honorable man. He is also a highly trained warrior with an overly zealous desire to protect those he cares about. If that means leaving a trail of death and destruction in his wake, so be it. On this occasion, he is flying back to Poland from Dnipro, Ukraine in an Agency Black Hawk helicopter after abducting a Russian SVR officer with his CIA team when he receives a satellite phone call. His best friend’s widow informs him that her daughter, Jon’s goddaughter, Sister Joan is trapped behind the lines in Russian-occupied Donetsk. She has just witnessed Chechen soldiers beat her priest to death in front of their church. Jon immediately agrees to retrieve her from the hellish war zone with the help of his loyal teammate, Angie Hawkins. How does the relatively simple rescue mission of a young nun in Russian-occupied Donetsk, Ukraine escalate in less than two days to a point where Russia is on the verge of launching a tactical nuclear strike on Ukraine’s capital? Jon’s mission is simple. The execution is not.

ESCAPE FROM DONETSK is the second standalone book in the Jon Smith series of action-packed military/espionage thrillers. It’s perfect for fans of Mark Greaney, Tom Clancy, Brad Thor, and Jack Carr. If you like their books, you’ll love ESCAPE FROM DONETSK. It combines all their best traits in a captivating, thrill ride pulled from today’s headlines.

Tea is for Trouble

A ghostly mystery, a charming tearoom, and secrets hidden in the attic—April May never expected her new life to be this complicated!

On a whim, I bought a grand Victorian house in the cozy seaside town of Serenity Cove, dreaming of transforming it into the perfect tearoom. With visions of afternoon tea complete with dainty sandwiches, scones, and delicious pastries, I was ready for a fresh start. But no one warned me that my new home came with more than vintage charm and an ocean view.

For starters, there’s the Bengal cat in the attic who may—or may not—be guarding a long-lost treasure. And then there’s the infuriatingly handsome French chef haunting my kitchen. No one else can see him, but he’s quite real to me—especially when he critiques my baking skills and insists on adding a Parisian flair to my menu.

As if running a tearoom and handling a ghostly chef weren’t enough, I stumble upon something far worse than burnt scones—a dead body. Now, before I can even serve my first cup of tea, I have to clear my name and catch a killer.

Can I uncover the truth and open my tearoom, or will my fresh start turn into a recipe for disaster?

Find out in this charming paranormal cozy mystery—complete with delicious recipes and plenty of supernatural surprises!

Blood Bonds

Hello, my name is Vanessa.

No, I don’t have a drinking problem and nor is this my opening line for an AA meeting.

No, what I did do though was witness a murder.

A very gruesome murder.

A mafia murder.

Because clearly, I don’t do things by halves.

Which means I am now being hunted.

The problem is I have not only been thrust into the dark underbelly of a crime syndicate…but it seems this one fights their wars with Fangs not just guns, making them doubly dangerous.

Because wouldn’t you know, Vampires aren’t just hot guys on screens that are addicted to the taste of blood.

No, they are deadly real.

Emphasis on the deadly part, as now they have their sights set on me. Oh, and the ones hunting me, just so happen to be the ones that own this damn city. A menacing, utterly terrifying twin brother duo that are admittedly hotter than the Hell they most likely came from and have more muscles for me to count. Especially when running as fast as my short legs will take me from both of them.

Meaning there is nowhere for this unlucky shop assistant to hide. See, didn’t I tell you that I didn’t do things by halves.

Well, this is my story and in it,

I am also cursed with a deadly attraction to both of them.

Now all I can hope for is that my blood doesn’t taste as sweet as they are both convinced it will and this city sized obsession, they seem to have with me will fizzle out soon.

Because as it stands, they seem determined not just to capture me but to tie me up and keep me forever entangled in their eternal…

Blood Bonds.

Blood Bonds is book one in a trilogy. Books 1 and 2 end on cliffhangers and book 3 is a HEA.
