Bloodlust

Two years ago, Detective Mitch Haskell lost his wife to a vicious act of retribution, and has since attributed her murder to two men: Roland Malone and the unidentified mastermind known only as Oz. Vowing to avenge the murder, Mitch has been on a downward spiral, jeopardizing his closest relationships and drinking excessively. After going one step too far, Detective John Bowie, his former best friend and now his boss, has forced Mitch to get therapy to sort himself out. As Mitch begins to close in on Oz and Malone’s operation, they’re prepared to stop him by any means necessary. When it’s revealed that Mitch’s therapist, Dr. Dylan Reede, might hold the key to bringing them to justice, Mitch and Dylan’s irresistible attraction to each other may not only compromise both of them professionally, but place them in Oz’s bullseye.

It Seemed Like a Good Idea

Ripley Addison runs a small-town lavender farm. She also has an identical twin sister, Haven, who’s an actor on the verge of becoming a big star. When Haven returns to their hometown to shoot a movie, Ripley suddenly ends up with a bodyguard to keep the paparazzi away. And who is her protector? Banks Kendrick, the guy from her almost one-night stand a month ago in San Francisco. But since he’ll be leaving soon, there’s no way it can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.

Vanished in the Crowd

NYC is busier than ever as two million visitors come to the city to witness the Hudson-Fulton celebration in 1909. Parades, exhibitions, carnivals, and a marvelous display of the wonders of the latest invention—electricity—across the city make for two straight weeks of celebrations, which Molly and her family, along with their friends Sid and Gus, are excited to enjoy. But Molly is secretly dealing with financial troubles. She is too proud to ask her friends for a loan, so when they want to hire her as a detective, she jumps at the chance. Sid and Gus are hosting fellow Vassar graduates to take part in one of the parades, but one of the women, a brilliant scientist, never shows up. It seems nobody knows where she is, including her husband. Is she trying to run away from her life, or is it something more sinister?
