Charlotte de Ney is as noble as they come, a blueblood straight out
of the Weird. But even though she possesses rare magical healing
abilities, her life has brought her nothing but pain. After her marriage
crumbles, she flees to the Edge to build a new home for herself. Until
Richard Mar is brought to her for treatment, and Charlotte’s life is
turned upside down once again.
Richard is a swordsman without peer, future head of his large and
rambunctious Edger clan—and he’s on a clandestine quest to wipe out
slavers trafficking humans in the Weird. So when his presence leads his
very dangerous enemies to Charlotte, she vows to help Richard destroy
them. The slavers’ operation, however, goes deeper than Richard knows,
and even working together, Charlotte and Richard may not survive...
They rely on animal instincts…
Meet “Gin” and
“Tonic.” She’s a dog person. He’s a cat person. But when these two
friendly rivals team up to solve a mystery, you can bet their pets
aren’t the only ones getting collared…
Ginny Mallard and her shar-pei,
Georgie, are about to run out of kibble and cash, unless she digs up
another client for her private concierge business. So she heads to her
neighborhood Seattle bar, Mary’s, to sniff out an opportunity. Or a
gimlet or two. The bartender, Teddy Tonica, is usually good for a round
of challenging banter, and Georgie is oddly fond of his bar cat,
Mistress Penny.
Before she can say “bottoms up,”
Ginny lands a job tracking down some important business papers that have
gone missing—along with the customer’s uncle. If Ginny hopes to track
him down, she’ll need more than her research skills: she’ll need a
partner with people skills—like Tonica.
This is one dangerous case that’s about to go to the dogs—unless man,
woman, cat, and canine can work together as one very unconventional
crime-solving team.
A second shot at first love
After college, Ryan Kowalski decided to leave Whitford, Maine, rather
than watch Lauren Carpenter marry another man. Now his siblings need
his help to refurbish the family-owned Northern Star Lodge and he’s
forced to face the past sooner rather than later when he collars a
vandal—and learns the boy is Lauren’s son…
The last person Lauren needs back in her life is Ryan Kowalski. With a
bitter ex-husband and a moody teenage son, she has enough man trouble
already. But her son needs to learn a few lessons about right and wrong,
even if Lauren has to escort him to Ryan’s door every day to work off
his crime.
With all this close contact, Ryan and Lauren can’t deny the chemistry
between them is as powerful as ever. But can a few searing kisses erase
their past and pave the way for a second chance at true love?
