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.

Convinced she's destined to be alone, fate intervenes and Blue cross paths with a horse who seems just as lost as she is. She can't explain it, the undeniable connection she feels with the stallion. But whenever she looks at him, she can see her own pain and fear reflect in his eyes-something they both seem to find comfort in. A deep friendship blossoms. A dynamic of mutual understanding and trust is found in the most unlikely way. But with it comes the shadows of a past that threatens to tear them apart and ruin the special bond forged between them.

Sheishin High: Echoes of the Past
For ten years, the Detective Club of Sheishin High has been buried under a shroud of tragedy. Once celebrated as the Silent Six, its members were discredited after trying to expose a string of suspicious deaths. Three were killed. Two vanished. One was expelled. The club was dissolved-and the school was left cursed by silence. Leo Vance, whose family was destroyed by the incident, is determined to resurrect the club and clear their name. But no one dares to join, until Aria Thorne, a transfer student and self-proclaimed mystery fanatic, hears the rumor of the Detective Club and signs up, eager for a real-life case-unaware of the bloodstained legacy she's walking into. Their revival is soon met with a murder that perfectly mirrors one of the Silent Six's unsolved cases. As Leo and Aria pursue the truth, all evidence points toward the traumatized sole survivor of the original club, seemingly enacting a twisted revenge. But Aria begins to suspect this is only the first layer of deception. To uncover the truth behind the tragedy, they must dig into the foundations of Sheishin High itself-where the true killer, the unseen architect of the first massacre, waits to finish the job they started ten years ago.
