Murder at the Campfire Cookout

Converting the old Beacon Point lighthouse into a bakery is as adventurous as Lindsey cares to get. Her mother, Ellie, a former 80s fashion model, likes her creature comforts even more—until she sees a business opportunity for her Beacon Harbor fashion boutique when she’s invited by the Mitten Kittens Glamping Club on a woodsy getaway. Ellie insists Lindsey come along to win the campfire cookout contest. But the festive spirit is soon dampened when a body is found in Ellie’s camper. It seems like an accidental death until everyone’s tires are slashed and it’s clear the glampsite has become a crime scene. With no cell service to call for help, it’s up to Lindsey to smoke out the killer around the campfire . . .Because no one is out of the woods yet.

Fury Over Texas

Sheriff Mack Armstrong is dedicated to serving the people of Pine Lick, Texas, especially when trouble shows up. But when he hears that a newcomer is armed, angry, and looking to kill, he barely has a chance to react as a once-in-a-lifetime hurricane arrives in tandem. As the wind tears apart the town and torrential rains flood the streets, it’s all the sheriff can do to save as many people as possible before the stranger takes his revenge.

Three Reasons for Revenge

Alexis Turner walks into the police station to report an assault. By the end of the day, she is nowhere to be found. Soon after she disappears, three identical packages arrive at three very different h— – and each will tear apart the life of its intended victim. Detective Sergeant Judith Lee knows this is no ordinary case. Someone with intimate knowledge of their targets is orchestrating these attacks. And she’s convinced that somehow, it connects back to Alexis Turner. As she races to uncover the connection between three seemingly unrelated people, Judith discovers she’s no longer just investigating the game—she’s being forced to play.
