Originally published as A Reason to Kill.
Meet Rina Martin, a retired actress with a taste for tea, gardening and crime solving.
She played a TV sleuth for years, but now she has to do it for real.
She retires to the sleepy town of Frantham-on-Sea. Here on the Dorset coast, she runs her own immaculate guest house and life is blissfully quiet.
Until . . .
A few doors down, harmless old Mrs Freer is bludgeoned to death, and Rina can’t help but be drawn into the mystery.
Mrs Freer’s home was ransacked, but this was no ordinary burglary.
Who knew the old lady kept a gun stashed under her pillow?
And who wanted it badly enough to kill?
Detective Sebastian McGregor is called in to solve this baffling case.
But with her neighbours’ safety at stake, Rina knows she needs to give him a helping hand.
If you love Agatha Christie, Jeanne M. Dams, The Thursday Murder Club, Glenda Young, Stella Cameron, Frances Evesham or Ann Cleeves, prepare to be hooked by this enchanting character-driven mystery!

My name is Bevin Millen—yes, Millen! I was able to separate from my family. Legally, at least. Father doesn’t listen to anyone and will never give up since he can’t bear to lose.
In this case, he lost me, and unfortunately he’s still deluded into thinking I’m an asset he owned.
If that wasn’t terrifying enough, the one person on campus I’m most worried about learned that I’m a goddess witch… Before I did. I have no idea what to do with Professor Wyatt knowing this about me, especially because he has more interest in me than having hot sex again.
All I know is that I cannot trust him.
I’m scared even more about what could happen if my family gets me.
I don’t know who I can trust. I’m drowning and could ruin my chance to be free if I don’t get a grip and figure out what to do next.
It’s really not fair. I just wanted to leave my horrid past behind and move forward with my life, maybe date and have some fun. Is that really too much to ask?
Morrigan University is a spicy reverse harem, university-age paranormal academy series with darker elements, strong language, violence, and a heroine who always does her best no matter what’s thrown at her… While trying to figure out what and who her heart wants.
*This book is part of a series and cannot be read as a standalone. Like all my books, this is not light and fluffy and includes dark themes and events some may find triggering. Reader discretion is advised.

FBI Agent Logan Reed specializes in explosives. He can track and defuses almost any incendiary device… Except for the one buried deep inside his soul. Home from Afghanistan now for two years, Logan has secured the perfect assignment on the FBI-K9 Bomb Squad in Denver. His new partner, a Belgian Malinois named Gunner, is an expertly trained bomb-sniffing dog. He’s everything a handler could hope for, except he’s not Lobo.
Agent Addison Thorne, a Bomb Technician at the top of her game, doesn’t trust the new guy. He’s too quiet and never goes out with the crew for a beer after work. There’s just something about him that makes her nervous, and nerves aren’t what a bomb-tech likes to feel. Tasked with finding a bomber on the loose in the Mile-high city, the explosives team must figure out who is planting the bombs and why before the civilian casualties skyrocket.
Will they find all the bombs before panic ensues and they are forced to evacuate the capital? When Reed finds himself in a situation mirroring his painful past, he locks up. Will Thorne be able to snap him back to the present before it’s too late? Can he hold it together or will he fail once again? Either way, his own life and that of Thorne and Gunner could come to a fiery end. If you love explosive action thrillers, you will love Mile High Mayhem. Order your copy today!
