MYSTERY


A BODYGUARD TO REMEMBER


Prudence Hartley has the same problems of every other single mom: getting her kids to school on time; juggling a gazillion errands while trying to get a full day's work done; oh, don't forget about dinner.

But everything is about to change for Pru when she finds a dead man in her house. Or a dead spy to be exact. Suddenly Pru's problems become a tad more complicated and a lot more dangerous. When a federal agent named David Merrick shows up and whisks her and her kids into protective custody, Pru has so many questions running through her brain she doesn't know where to begin. How is she going to keep her kids safe? What was the dead spy looking for in her house? Why are they after her now? Oh and there's one more question . . . just a pesky, minor thing. Why does Merrick have to be so damn sexy and protective?

DEADLY SEASON


Last month Kate Garrett was a Police Detective. Now she's a Pet P.I.?

Kate recently inherited half her father's private investigation company and a partner who is as irritating as he is attractive. Kate has been avoiding Jake Carmedy for years, but now her life might depend on him.

Kate and Jake are on the hunt for a serial cat killer who has mysterious connections to her father's last police case. Kate's father had been forced to retire when he was shot investigating a domestic disturbance. Is the shooter back for revenge? And is Kate or Jake next?

2017 Arthur Ellis Awards Finalist, Lou Allen Memorial Award for Best Novella
"Beginning with a serial cat killer and moving into more serious and dangerous territory, the plot is surprising and interesting. There's a touch of romance, a great mystery, and a setting that's out of this world (or out of this present world, I should say)."
Catherine Astolfo, award winning author of Sweet Karoline

DEADLY LEGACY
