Detective Rita Rawlins got the ten-sixty-five call "Armed Robbery in Progress." Rita arrived at the Riverside Savings and Loan to find the security guard killed. It quickly became less about a robbery and more about a precision hit with zero clues. Except one of the bullets is laced with poison. When Rita falls in love with the number one suspect, she struggles to keep the separation needed to solve the case and make an arrest. Haunted by the death of Tony, her partner, Rita is suspended from the force. She has never been the kind of cop who leaves the job behind. She wants back in. When her brother goes missing, Rita has no choice but to ask the suspected killer for help. Along the way, the two forge a fragile trust, but this new partnership is put to the test when the case takes an unexpected and dangerous turn. Riverside's Perfect Murder brings these two powerful people together in a riveting story that unfolds with furious momentum. #ACC2019 #TBSA2019 2nd place in The GraceTeam Award - Mystery - Thank you! 2nd place in MidnightCoffeeAwards - Mystery - Thank you! 2nd place in The Lotus Awards - Mystery - Thank you!

Alvaro's roommate is possessed by the devil. Nitiya strangles people in her sleep. Gracie's lung donor shows up to ask for her organs back.

| HIGHEST - #1 in Cruise | "You could have anyone." I avert my gaze to the floor. His emerald green eyes sparkle as they catch a hint of the flashing casino lights. "Yeah...but I want you." ________________________________________________ Jade's an outcast who doesn't let herself depend on anyone or lets anyone depend on her. Her rough reality is flipped upside down when she loses her dad and her new foster parents bring her on a month-long cruise. Abruptly, she finds herself stuck on a ship where no one understands her - except for the one guy who you wouldn't expect to get her, but does. Noah Grey is known as the popular, star basketball player in his hometown - but he has dark secrets he can't tell anyone. When he runs into the skater girl that has no interest in making friends, what begins as a feud becomes an intense attraction when they come to realize that they're not so different after all... ** - This story is written from both Jade and Noah's perspective. It shifts perspective each chapter. - Don't skip the first two chapters! The first two chapters may seem a bit slow for people who want to get straight to the romance, but it contains important details about who the characters are and also sets up how the two main characters meet. - This is also a coming of age story. It's just as much about pain, self-discovery, and healing as it is about the highs and lows of falling in love. - The characters and their situations are much more complex than just "bad-girl/good-boy" - There is some raunchy and explicit dialogue ;) - I update regularly! - Please feel free to share ideas and tips on where I can improve! **
