Thea Campbell goes out for revenge when the one person who habitually delights in tormenting her steals her horse. But wealthy and self-centered Valerie Parsons is past caring if Thea intends to have her arrested. She's dead. Now Thea has become a person of interest, not only to law enforcement but to intimidating people with little regard for due process. Add to the mix her wrecked love life, a sexy geology professor who stirs up more than dust, and an alleged psychic horse, and it soon becomes apparent that Thea's predictable life is out of control. As she works to clear herself of suspicion of murder she discovers the victim had a knack for making enemies-one of whom is Thea's ditsy sister. She pursues her investigation with more at stake than ever, and in a seedy biker bar comes face-to-tattoo with information that will lead the police to the real killer. Dutifully, she reports to the detective in charge. But Thea is wrong. As close to dead wrong as she ever wishes to get.All Rights Reserved

Look but Don't Choke by DeliriousMoon

After Evie Harper spends the day pining after her unrequited childhood crush, Harley, she drowns her sorrows in a bottle of stolen wine. But the next day, and one glorious hangover later, Harley is found with a very naked-very strangled stripper in his bed. Naturally the police assume that it's some kind of erotic play gone terribly wrong, but Harley swears that he left her alive and "orgasmically" happy when he went on the ill fated booze and condom run. And Evie knows Harley isn't a violent man. When the Chos ask her to investigate the murder, and possibly clear their son's name, she reluctantly agrees. But as Evie digs deeper into the dead woman's life she discovers that the exotic dancer had quite the past; one that involved drugs, prostitution, and gangs. Who knew the life of a stripper could get so dirty? Evie Harper Mysteries: Book 2

Taking Rein by vlover261

"Run!" Julia exclaimed before grabbing a hold of her bag and bolting away as soon as we heard the sound of sirens approaching us. I ran behind them before my foot got caught in a branch and I tripped, leading them to catch me. Not my best friend and my boyfriend, no. Those two ditched me. Letting the police only catch me. ***** Seventeen-year-old Sophie Reynolds thought she had her life all figured out-until a reckless decision gets her exiled to her grandfather's ranch for the summer. Trading in her designer wardrobe for dusty boots was never part of her plan, especially at a place like Equestrian Creek, where the horses outnumber the people and the only excitement comes in the form of chores. Enter Liam Parker, the easygoing stable boy with a wicked sense of humor, a captivating British accent, and a look that could stop hearts. He's everything Sophie can't stand: carefree, unpretentious, and entirely unimpressed by her attitude. And the feeling? Mutual. Forced to work side by side, their constant bickering sparks something unexpected, a slow-burn connection that's impossible to ignore. With every stolen glance and late-night conversation, Sophie realises that maybe, just maybe, her perfect world wasn't so perfect after all. One summer. One chance to rewrite her story. And one boy who just might change everything.
