Say It’s Fine!

12 cold cases. 12 kidnapped women. One diabolical serial killer. In this bestselling suspense thriller, a brilliant FBI agent faces a deadly challenge: decipher the mystery before each one is murdered.

In GIRL TWO: TAKEN (book #2), Maya must solve the murder of a female corrections officer. A seemingly black-and-white case, closed years ago, the local police refuse to take it up again. But as Maya delves into the world of prisons, correction officers and ex-cons, she quickly sees there is more there than meets the eye. She, it turns out, was not the only officer murdered. It was a serial. And this killer is more complex — and unpredictable — than anyone can imagine.

And if Maya doesn’t solve this case soon, her own sister’s life may be on the line.

Meanwhile, the first released “bunny” has given the FBI a promising lead on the killer’s whereabouts — but are they walking into a trap?

In a race against time, and with her sister’s life hanging in the balance, Maya must unravel the link between the 12 captives and end the killer’s dark game once and for all. Is this killer toying with her? Does he truly have her sister? Will he ever give her back?

Or will Maya end up sucked too deep into this killer’s twisted cat-and-mouse game to notice that she, herself, is the prey?

Riley thinks he can just show up in Winter Falls and I’ll jump straight into his arms excited he’s returned to me. Mr. Can’t Answer His Phone For Three Months is more likely to get a slap in the face.

My dream of running my own restaurant is finally coming true. Nothing can stop me now. So what if my contractor up and quit and my handyman needs a break? I got this.

But then the pipes in the diner break.

Of freaking course, that’s the moment Riley shows up. He looks like an advertisement for the Sexy Handyman Weekly with his plaid shirt open to reveal all those hard muscles while I’m covered in toilet water.

Riley needs to turn his tight behind right back around and leave, because I’m not falling into his trap again. I may have gazed into his ocean-blue eyes and fallen instantly in love before, but I know better now. He has no staying power.

I don’t care how many crazy stunts the busybodies of my quirky hometown pull. They can’t convince me to give him a second chance. I’m sticking to my decision no matter how much I long for the comfort of Riley’s arms.

But when he reveals the reason he left me, I start to wonder…
Maybe Riley does deserve another chance.

Do you know the story of the Native American tribes, from the earliest known histories to the first European contact to the modern day?

The “Five Civilized Tribes” tried to adapt to the American way of life, while others fought to keep their land. Which was more successful? This book will attempt to tell their story, the story of those five tribes. It will not go back into the distant past, and it will not be able to cover modern issues within the Native American community. But it will tell the story of how a group of people dealt with a world that had suddenly and drastically changed — and continued to change — and how they dealt with these changes as Native Americans.

When Guy Vanduex’s pumpkin pie dreams turn into a holiday nightmare, hilarity ensues. Thanksgiving in the small town of Tempest, North Carolina, is anything but ordinary. Guy, a former chef-turned-detective, finds himself reluctantly roped into catering a prestigious awards pre-show while secretly craving a mystery — and hoping to impress his visiting niece, Gillian, a sharp-tongued tarot reader. But when the prized Turkey Trophy goes missing mid-event, Guy must ditch his apron and embrace his detective side.

With the aid of his niece and her uncanny knack for solving crimes through tarot readings, their search for a simple missing trophy spirals into chaos, tangled with pastries, fortunes, and an archenemy who stole more than just Guy’s peanut butter recipe. With Gillian by his side, Guy uncovers a slew of eccentric suspects, including a dishonest mayor, a grudge-bearing ex-business partner, and an ice cream vendor who always knows your favorite flavor. Each clue — whether sprinkled with cinnamon or blood — pulls Guy closer to solving the case and farther from the peaceful Thanksgiving he envisioned.
