‘Tis the season for miracles… and murder.
A rifle crack shatters the holiday bustle. Christmas shoppers scatter as a renowned big-game hunter drops to the sidewalk. Blind detective Steve Smiley and his partner rush to rescue the teen—the man’s adopted daughter—who had been locked in a heated argument with him moments before.
The teen’s first plea is not to find the killer, but to find her birth parents. What begins as a straightforward adoption search spirals into something far deadlier when Smiley discovers the hunter’s murder is inexorably linked to the teen’s mysterious past.
With suspects multiplying faster than mall Santas—from bitter ex-wives to vengeful conservationists—Smiley must navigate a labyrinth of family secrets and old betrayals. As the twelve days tick down to Christmas, he races to find a killer, unwrap the truth and give a teenage girl her Christmas miracle.
Join blind detective Steve Smiley as he races against the twelve days of Christmas to solve a murder that’s anything but festive in Jingle Bells, Rifle Shells by Bruce Hammack. With multiple suspects, hidden motives, and a teenage girl’s future hanging in the balance, this clean mystery delivers all the suspense without the graphic content. Perfect for Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot fans.

I knew nothing about mates until the alpha rejected me—in front of the entire pack, before throwing me into the sea to die.
Growing up in one of the biggest packs in the world, my life is planned out from the second I turn eighteen and find my true mate in the moon ceremony. Finding your true mate is supposed to give you everything—power, belonging, a future. But for the first time in the history of our pack, the new alpha is mated with a nobody. A foster kid living in the packs orphanage with no ancestors or power to claim. Me.
His rejection is brutal. Public. And it should have killed me.
But the dark wolves of the Fall Mountain Pack find me. They save me. The four alphas. The ones the world fears because of the darkness they live in. In their world? Being rejected is the only way to join their pack.
I thought I’d lost everything, but maybe I was never meant for the light. Maybe I was always meant for them—for the darkness, for the forbidden god who’s been waiting for me, and for the four alphas who kneel to no one.
Except maybe… to me.
A full-length reverse harem paranormal romance retelling of Hades and Persephone, packed with sexy alpha males, steamy scenes, a strong heroine finding her power, and plenty of sarcasm. Intended for 17+ readers.
