A Lazy Kind Of Fear

On their second case, Qigiq and Kandy are loaned to the Traffic Division to investigate an early morning accident. Hit and run. By a motorcycle. The victim is an elderly Asian woman. A young witness in a nearby dry cleaner and a truck driver suggest all “accidents” aren’t created equal. Then the Captain drops a new assignment on their desk: an affluent Bay Area lawyer is missing. The man’s wife stomps into their office screaming about a contract she found hidden in the backups of their home computer. A contract with a seven-figure payout, and an incriminating Exhibit A.

Following the trail of both the motorcycle rider and the lawyer with Kandy complaining, “We’re homicide detectives, there should be a body,” leads to a vintage motorcycle club called the Ton Up where lips are sealed, a yacht harbor on the coast where riddles run deep, and a midnight roadside confrontation that ends with a splash. As the trails twist they soon find that these people and places have one thing in common:

A violist named Mylin. Who plays in an all-female orchestra called The Girls of the Orient. And, unbeknownst to her, is the subject of a fine-art photographer’s latest collection.

From San Francisco to Mexico, the treacherous cliffs of the Pacific coast to the desolation of Nevada’s high desert, Tune Up moves like Kandy’s turbocharged Mini through a foggy landscape of false identities, fake romance, and frenzied chases, as Qigiq realizes one picture really can reveal more than 1,000 words.

A fixer-upper farmhouse. A mysterious box of letters. And one surly single dad who kisses like he wants to ruin me.

Big Wood, Tennessee was supposed to be my escape from burnout.
Fresh air. Friendly faces. Zero emotional entanglements.

Then came Walker Hayes — hot, haunted, and as warm as a January blizzard.
He’s grumpy. I’m sunshine.
He growls. I giggle.
And now we’re caught in the slowest, hottest, most emotionally-charged game of chicken ever.

But when I stumble across a stack of unsent love letters in my attic, everything changes.
Because I know who wrote them.
And he has no idea I’ve read every word.
Or that I’ve already fallen for the man behind them.

In a town where nothing stays secret for long, loving Walker might be the biggest risk I’ve ever taken.
But what if it’s also the best?

These four single dads thought they were done with love. But love… isn’t done with them.
They’ve been burned — by divorce, betrayal, heartbreak — and now their lives revolve around playdates, carpools, and bedtime stories. Love? Not happening. Not again.
When unexpected women storm into their carefully controlled worlds — bringing sass, chaos, and the kind of heat they thought they’d locked away for good — these devoted fathers face a new kind of challenge: falling for the one person they shouldn’t.

Mervyn Ambrose has finally landed the role of a lifetime. The only problem is, he’s running out of time to play it.
At eighty-eight, after decades of playing “Man in Background” and “Third Tree from the Left,” Mervyn has become an overnight sensation as the nation’s favourite TV butler. He has the fame, the silver tray, and the perfect stoic expression. He also has terminal cancer.
Deciding that a dignified exit is the only way to keep the critics happy, Mervyn plans a quiet final curtain call. But he’s about to find out that when you’ve spent a lifetime in the theatre, your friends — and your fate — rarely stick to the script.
A hilariously dark and heart-stitching look at the messy business of saying goodbye. Perfect for fans of A Man Called Ove , The 100-Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, and Nick Spalding’s Grave Talk.

THE ONLY WAY OUT… IS UP

Former Blackhawk pilot Luke Angel wants nothing more than to enjoy the easy life he’s found in coastal Florida. He’s got a seaplane business, a well-trained dog, and a loyal and lovable crew to throw back margaritas with. But when a plane belonging to a friend goes missing from Luke’s airport, local detectives are understandably baffled. Clues are scattered from the Keys to the far side of the Gulf of Mexico, and Luke may be the only one with the connections to piece the puzzle back together.

The case rips open old family tensions for Luke and the woman he once loved. When his eleven-year-old niece gets dragged into the danger, Luke finds himself facing down elements of his past he thought long buried.

Dipping his floats into murky water has Luke tangling with deadly people who’d love nothing more than to clip his wings.

He’ll have to fly fast if he wants to protect the people he loves, or he’ll end up at the bottom of the bay.
