Now For The Pumpkin Man

Forensic psychologist and rookie FBI agent Alexis Forrest returns to her hometown of Broken Hill to investigate the disappearance of a missing teenage girl. Returning to this snowy New England town is the last thing Alexis wants to do. She has a strained relationship with her divorced parents whose relationship did not survive the disappearance and murder of Alexis’ older sister, or her dad’s prison sentence.

The circumstances of this girl’s disappearance are surprisingly similar to her sister’s yet the local police aren’t exactly welcoming to an inexperienced FBI agent sent to help them solve the case. But then another girl, a wealthy student at a prestigious nearby boarding school, is found dead.

Trying to figure out if the two cases are connected and a serial killer is on the loose, Alexis finds herself getting close to all of the people she thought she had left behind forever. One of those people is a high school boyfriend, a long lost love.

The town is full of secrets that want to stay hidden. To make peace with the past, Alexis must unearth them all. What happens when she finds something that puts her in danger? Will Alexis find who did it or will she become the next victim?

A trial attorney seeking redemption. A baker with a legacy to protect. And the summer fair booth that forces them back together.

Taryn Lawson is ready to prove she’s the rightful heir to her family’s bakery. The Silver Falls summer fair is her chance to showcase a new vision for the business, but she’s running out of time to build her display. She needs a miracle, but she never expects it to come in the form of the man who ghosted her after a whirlwind holiday romance.

Trial attorney Garrett Andrews knows he handled things poorly with Taryn last Christmas. He had his reasons, but seeing Taryn again while in town for his sister’s wedding makes one thing clear: he isn’t ready to let her go. When he sees her struggling to meet her deadline, he offers a proposition she can’t refuse — his manual labor in exchange for a chance to make amends.

As they work side-by-side in the summer heat, the spark between them reignites. But with Garrett’s life waiting for him back in the city and Taryn’s future tied to the bakery, the clock is ticking on their second chance. They must find a way to merge their worlds, or their romance will melt away with the summer sun.

Jack Morgan is dealing with more trouble than any young man deserves. Raised to be a professional thief and con artist by his late uncle Virgil, he’s survived on his uncle’s spaceship with the help of an AI program. But when he’s accused of a crime he actually didn’t commit, Jack is forced to flee to a remote, uninhabited planet where he can stay off the radar for a while.

His solitude is soon interrupted when a ship crashes on Jack’s hideout after a terrible space battle. There’s only one survivor: a warrior called Draycos, whose reptilian race is being targeted for extinction.

And it looks like Jack is the only sentient being around…
