Bed of Bones

A USA Today bestselling novel, Bed of Bones is a gripping tale of murder and long-forgotten sins, where the ghosts of a once-thriving mining town rise again—and they’re not done claiming victims.

Thirteen-year-old Willie Compton and his younger brother Leonard are exploring the hills in Park City, Utah—a place steeped in history and old mining lore—when a simple accident takes a devastating turn. Leonard’s Slinky slips from his hands, tumbling toward a dark, abandoned mine shaft. In a split second, he dives to catch it—and vanishes into the darkness below.

What begins as a tragic accident soon unearths something far more sinister when authorities investigate the shaft, uncovering numerous human remains—and with them, a mystery buried for decades. As the town reels from the discovery, Private Investigator Sloane Monroe is hired to uncover the truth.

What she finds is a chilling connection to Park City’s violent past, and a killer whose secrets refuse to stay buried.

Perfect for fans of atmospheric crime fiction and strong female leads, this page-turning mystery will keep you guessing until the final, bone-chilling twist.

Seaside Cowboy’s Fairy Tale

While her childhood might be similar to Cinderella’s, she rescues others instead of waiting for a prince to rescue her. And she’d never fall for the subject of her investigation, a charming and mysterious CEO, right?

Private investigator / bodyguard Rachel Arvidson has to run from the masquerade ball, her suave dance partner, Tex Lawrence, and yes, even leave her sparkly shoe behind to chase a thief. Her client wants Rachel to trail Tex, but once she blows her cover to save Tex’s life and gets to know him better, she questions everything. His guilt. Her no-dating rule. And who’s really behind the jewelry thefts plaguing the coastal small-town community.

The beautiful stranger takes Tex Lawrence’s breath away twice—the second time by knocking him to the ground. Unlike his cowboy brothers who’ve gotten married in quick succession, he chose a different path. But this once-betrayed workaholic might risk his bruised heart again for Rachel. What will he do when he learns her secret?
