Moonlight dances across her bare skin, and a shooting star flies across the sky. And while the young woman's eyes are open and facing upward, they no longer see anything... Detective Madison Knight is about to get married when detectives from a neighboring city storm the wedding and arrest her fiancé, Troy Matthews. He's being charged for the murder of his childhood friend Dylan Graham, recently shot to death in his home. But the motive dates back to a fateful night from twenty-four years ago when seventeen-year-old Emily Kane was raped and strangled at a beach party. Police claim that Dylan had plans to expose Troy for the crime even though another friend was convicted for it and sent to prison for twenty-four years. With that friend recently released, Madison suspects that he may be framing Troy to take the fall, some sort of vengeance for not saving him from going to prison. But when he also turns up murdered, Troy again becomes the prime suspect. With evidence mounting against him, Madison is determined to prove her fiancé is innocent, but what troubles her the most is that all of Troy's friends from that time are being picked off one by one. That means Troy might be the killer's next target, but it's not just his life on the line when she discovers the twisted killer is stalking her. This addictive heart-pounding crime thriller is perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Lisa Regan, and Leslie Wolfe. Readers love Madison Knight!

With all the guests at Sara and Sean's wedding suspected of murder, her walk down the aisle will need to wait... Everything is going perfectly on the big day until Sara opens the door of her bridal suite. Darlene Day, who made the wedding cake, falls into the room, a serving knife plunged into her back. As the organists start to play "Here Comes the Bride," Sara calls a pause to the proceedings. There's a murder to solve, and the motive may be in the icing. Darlene wasn't the most loved person in the small town of Cotton Spring Falls, but rumor has it that she refused the offer of a big franchise to buy her bakery. Did they go so far as murder to put her out of business? But when it's discovered their wedding cake was poisoned, Sara and Sean could have been the intended victims all along. Did Darlene stumble upon the killer's conspiracy and they silenced her before she could reveal their secret? Is it someone on the invitation list or the mysterious wedding crasher? As long as the coffee is hot, and Sara has Sean and her beagle, Magnum, at her side, she isn't going down in a heap of tulle and lace. Wedding Bells Brew Murder is a closed-room mystery in the fashion of the great Agatha Christie that fans of Emma Davies, Verity Bright, and Helena Dixon will enjoy reading.

Sara Cain isn't your typical thirty-two-year-old woman. Murder detective by day, writer and... sleuth by night? Just as long as there's enough coffee to keep her going... When her first novel gives her trouble, Sara goes for a walk to clear her writer's block and ends up stumbling right into a real-life murder mystery. Magnum, an adventurous beagle, comes running off leash toward her in the local park, and she returns him home only to find his master dead on the entry floor. Cliff Cunningham was a championship bowler with a mean streak and a temper, and police are pegging his Golden Pin bowling trophy as the murder weapon. While any number of people could have clocked a strike by knocking him on the noggin, the prime suspect is a friend of Sara's mother-and she expects Sara to prove the woman's innocence. A tall order, as the case isn't officially hers and belongs to a rival detective. But a promise is a promise, and Sara soon finds herself sleuthing undercover-and off the clock-in a world of polyester shirts and rental shoes. It's not all bad, though, as she's taking her friend and partner Sean McKinley along for the ride. They are better together than they've ever been split, and they're not amateurs at finding killers. Despite being up against small-town hijinks and colorful characters who threaten to roll their efforts into the gutter, they are having fun. That is, until they get close to the killer and a dangerous twist puts their lives at risk. A completely addictive caper full of twists that offers up a serving of murder, a dollop of romance, and a dash of humor. This perfect blend of robust and sweet is bound to hit the spot with readers who are fans of Verity Bright, Tonya Kappes, and Agatha Frost.

Hot flashes in my forties? Expected. Waking up psychic? Not in my wildest dreams. My name is Erin Stone. I'm forty-three with a daughter away at college and a successful career as a communications officer with the 911 dispatch center for the Toronto Police Service. My life had just returned to a new normal after my divorce and everything was going along smoothly. Then BOOM! Turns out the universe had other plans for me. I dreamed of a plane crash-only it wasn't just a dream. The crash happened in real life. Eighty-three dead. A vision, plain and simple. Not exactly. My family certainly wouldn't understand. And me...psychic? I'd dabbled in new-age spirituality in the past but never plunged into the deep end. Now I'm in over my head. Why was I given this vision, and does it hold clues as to what caused the crash? My best friend, Trish, is convinced it does, and a handsome stranger with the National Transportation Safety Board is willing to partner with me to solve the mystery. But if I'm going to embrace the vision as telling of newfound psychic abilities, I will need to keep my paranormal gift a secret from my daughter, brother, and aunt. Little good that might do them though. Someone out there has their own secrets and is willing to go to great lengths to protect them. Now the very gift I was given has put the lives of my loved ones at risk. Will my psychic abilities be strong enough to save them? This work of paranormal women's fiction features a strong-willed heroine in her forties with enough baggage to check some, along with a heavy dose of magic and a splash of romance.
