Thomas Allston is a former cop who was kicked off the Norfolk, VA, police force for a "bad shoot." He loses his job and his wife, who moves on to Allston's ex-boss. As Allston said he felt like he got kicked in the Doo-Dads a few times, he moves to the northern coast of New England, where he gets a dog, a small home with an ocean view, and starts over by building his Private Investigator business.

Allston meets a tremendous woman. Their first encounter is fueled by attraction, humor, and a few too many Margaritas. They have been together since that night. Eve is educated, smart, and beautiful. She owns a trendy bakery/coffee shop that she built after working in the financial industry for a few years. Like Allston, she had a little trouble in her past.

She likes that he is real. He likes her butt and the way she thinks.

They get along by slowly opening up to each other, always joking around and moving forward.

Complications happen when Allston's dangerous job gets in the way of their peaceful life. Some people want to kill this former Marine and cop for cases that he has worked on in the past. His current caseload keeps him busy, and Eve is also busy building a thriving business, but she gets interested in Allston's cases and occasionally participates in helping to solve them.

These are two quick-thinking people who take action when needed.

This series is faithfully published M, W, F and is a perfect read during a coffee break at work.

After three years of trial and error, Chris and Morgan are now committed to giving the "normal" life a try. Old habits die hard, though, which they come to find out when trouble inevitably finds them. Sweeping things under the rug, the couple just wants to be average, not the criminal deviants who their inquisitive neighbor makes them out to be. Morgan, not used to people not liking her, tries to prove herself to the haughty wife of the local sheriff, but winds up digging a hole she can't get out of so easily. The standoffish housewife makes sure to keep a close eye on the couple which helps Morgan keep her mind off of her suddenly angsty Mother-in-law. As the wedding approaches and Morgan prepares to carry a baby, Mary has her doubts about her son's relationship. After a near divorce, Mary doesn't want him to make the same mistakes she did. So, she does what she can to try and convince her son to not rush down the aisle, but it almost risks her relationship with him instead. Bonding with his now sober father over, Chris has troubles adjusting to the slower-paced lifestyle. The workaholic faces a hard time when he trades in the late nights for wedding planning and Mommy and Me classes. Though things seem perfect, the passionate couple can't shake that sense of impending doom. Did they cross their T's and dot ALL of their I's? Morgan's taken out of the game given that she's expecting, but will Chris just sit on the sidelines if his turbulent past threatens to disturb his newfound utopia and wreck his happy home? Chris won't go down without a fight. The question is how far will he go to make sure this is finally over?

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed.

CALLIE has no family left. So she's been spending her time in the woods, picking at questionable berries and developing a dark worldview. She has a dream of vengance, to kill the man who murdered her mother. And when a seemingly random trip to the circus brings her together with some strange people, Callie finds out that her dream could become reality, and she just might tip the scales of doom and salvation in the process... ALEX is a pessimist. With good reason. His whole life has consisted of grief, pain and hardship, including occasional glimmers of happiness. But when happiness comes, it quickly fades, leaving an empty void in its place. Alex knows this, and he won't be fooled into thinking otherwise. Or will he? LUNA needs a better job. Being a trapeze artist may hide her from the government, but it's not so fun when the manager is a raving lunatic and there's likely to be a crazed pervert in the crowd. So when the big top gets demolished- literally- Luna sees it as a ticket to freedom (contracts are generally void once a business has been destroyed). What she doesn't see are the doors to her past creaking open, and their contents coming to haunt her. ZACH is normal...ish. As normal as a Gifted kid can be. His brand of normalcy includes a kickass grandma, childhood trauma and your everyday run of the mill dragon, but hey, he's not as insane as the others. Really, Zach is thirsting for adventure. Something that doesn't involve babysitting siblings or feuding with his parents. He should've been careful what he wished for.
