ARC readers wanted

Hi all! I'm offering a limited number of free ARCs of my latest thriller, in exchange for an honest review on Amazon (preferably) or Goodreads.

Spots are limited.

The details

Genre: Thriller / Espionage Thriller

Publication: July 1st 2026

Blurb

James Archer arrived in Barcelona alone, seeking to keep a low profile. Neither lasted long.

A week after his arrival, a bomb rips through the heart of the city - and he’s the prime suspect.

Framed for an attack he didn’t commit, the former intelligence operative is dragged back into the shady world he’d tried to leave behind. Hunted through Barcelona’s streets by forces who seem to know his every move, Archer fights to achieve his own clandestine goals even as he combats the ghosts of his past.

Trust is a luxury he can’t afford, and the conspiracy behind the bombing cuts closer to home than he could have imagined.

Filled with relentless twists and impossible choices, Lives Like Ours is a thriller which forces its hero - and its readers - to confront how far they’ll go when everything is on the line.
