The Killer in Me

What price is too great to stop a killing spree?

Elizabeth Benoit ran for sheriff to wipe out the corruption in the good old boys network of Eckardt County, but she has yet to break in her shoes when a stranger’s body is found in a ravine. With her ex back in town, a new deputy detective on the edge of losing control, and a crooked ex-sheriff out for revenge, Elizabeth’s resources are stretched thin. And then the second body drops.

Fearing a serial killer on the loose, Elizabeth launches an investigation that lays bare more than one family secret: The Kauffmann matriarch is full of advice, but her progeny have a mean streak that leaves a path of destruction in their wake. The Meyer patriarch has his own agenda, and the Kauffmanns have been a thorn in his ambition for too long.

Elizabeth and her deputies are about to face off against odds that are not in their favor. Only one source can tip the scales, but will she sell her soul for his help?

Otterly Irresistible

A hot grump. A sunny optimist. And an attraction that’s–yep, we’re gonna say it–irresistible.

Griffin Foster is done. Done trying to save the world. Done getting attached. He’s been fired twice for standing his ground and now he’s going to be content–by God–in small-town Louisiana, in a small veterinary practice, where there will only be small problems.

Until she shows up. Again.

The sunny, gorgeous optimist who stole his heart–and his favorite shirt–two months ago. Who clearly hasn’t heard the word “no” enough in her life. And who is the first woman to put even a tiny crack in his don’t-get-attached wall.

Charlotte “Charlie” Landry is the new marketing director for her family’s petting zoo. It might not have been her plan, but she is all in, ready to grow the business. Whether the hot, grumpy vet likes it or not.

He doesn’t.

Worse, sparring with his unforgettable one-night stand is more fun than he’s had in a long time.

But watching wears-designer-dresses Charlie find her dream job amongst a bunch of goats, alpacas, and otters is a surprise.

And her helping him find his passion again is…well, irresistible.

It Should Have Been Us

My high school sweetheart, the boy who shattered my heart, is back in our small town, and there will be no avoiding him for the next two weeks…

And that’s exactly what he’s doing every time our paths cross.

I shouldn’t let it affect me. After all, there was a good reason why we broke up in the first place. But no matter how much I try to put some distance between us, it’s impossible to stay away when our childhood friends are getting married.

Not only is he attending the wedding. He is in the wedding—the best man to my maid of honor. There will be no escaping the boy who destroyed me completely with his betrayal or stopping the secrets I kept from coming out…

TOP PICK: Night Owl Reviews

Start reading TODAY! Find out why readers say this book is… “awesome”, “enchanting”, “enthralling”, “engrossing”, “unique”, “hot”, and “thrilling”.

Twenty-year-old Elora Laiken accidentally ended up in this dimension with a broken heart and the staggering grief of having witnessed the massacre of her entire family. Her body was so brutally damaged that her species was categorized to-be-determined. The one stroke of good fortune was that she landed in the best possible place; a very old and secret society of vampire hunters with the medical means to put her back together and the willingness to do it.

There was no home or family to return to, even if she could. But nothing would stop her from using the extra-abilities she gained from slipping dimensions to work for The Order of the Black Swan and try to keep her friends alive.

When it comes to romance, she has a wealth of options. Will she choose the modern-day knight who saved her life? Or the sexy prince of elves who thinks she’s his mate? Or perhaps the incredibly magnetic, sizzling hot vampire?
