There has been a murder scene at Greenbrier Resort and Greenbrier's CEO, Thomas Gilmore, has requested two of New England's finest detectives from the NYPD to conduct an investigation since he doesn't want this murder to leak to the West Virginian public knowledge. In order to make this undercover seem more believable, Joe Bishop assigns Evan Marks and Catherine Chandler for the task. A lot could happen at the most romantic, expensive resort in America and Evan decides to use this chance to win Catherine's heart. However, Catherine is NOT looking forward to this undercover assignment far away from home-especially being miles apart from Vincent Keller; the man who has undoubtedly captured the young detective's heart. Catherine tells Vincent of her little task and he doesn't like the idea of her spending lots of quality time with Evan Marks: his competition. Is Vincent willing to risk his identity to make sure nothing happens between the two co-workers? Find out and see!

Fame is a performance, and the greatest illusions happen behind the scenes. When Evelyn Hart, a celebrated actress, vanishes from her hotel room without a trace, the world is left grasping for answers. No witnesses. No forced entry. No sign of struggle. Just a few cryptic diary entries, a collection of old photographs, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Detectives Adrian Cole and Madison Lane, once childhood friends turned reluctant partners, are called in to investigate the disappearance. Their reputations precede them-Adrian, known for his calculated approach and sharp intuition, and Madison, relentless in her pursuit of justice. But years of distance and unresolved emotions make working together more complicated than either of them expected. As they unravel Evelyn's past, they discover a tangled web of deception, power, and betrayal leading straight to Victor Calloway, a renowned director with a talent for crafting perfect illusions-on and off the screen. He was once Evelyn's closest ally, but something dark simmered beneath their friendship. And now, as Adrian and Madison get closer to the truth, they realize someone is erasing every trace of Evelyn's existence, silencing those who dare to speak. With every step forward, the danger intensifies. Someone is watching. Someone is pulling strings. And the deeper they dig, the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe. But in the midst of the chaos, Adrian and Madison find themselves facing another mystery-the one between them. Years of separation couldn't erase the bond they once had, but will this case bring them back together or break them apart for good? Because in a world where deception is an art form, some disappearances are meant to stay unsolved.

Detective Celeste Marlowe is no stranger to darkness, but nothing could prepare her for the twisted games of a serial killer determined to make her his greatest audience. In New York City, the murders begin with a single, unsettling detail-a red rose placed next to the body. As the body count rises, the killer's ritual grows more elaborate and chilling. Each crime scene is a carefully orchestrated display, a grotesque masterpiece meant to be admired, understood, and, above all, recognized. The killer is methodical, highly intelligent, and compulsive-his need for recognition drives every brutal act. He isn't just taking lives; he's manipulating the narrative, shaping a story he expects Celeste to decipher. With every murder, he leaves behind symbols tied to his past, each more cryptic and menacing than the last. His obsession with perfection and power pushes him to test Celeste in ways no one has before, drawing her deeper into his twisted game. As Celeste races against the clock to stop him, she begins to see unsettling parallels between his obsession and her own hidden darkness. The media feeds his ego, amplifying his recognition, while Celeste's personal trauma resurfaces, blurring the line between hunter and prey. With each new clue, Celeste finds herself questioning not just the killer's motives but her own psyche. The killer is watching, waiting, and he knows exactly how to push her to the edge. Mark of the Obsession is a psychological thriller that delves into the chilling mind of a sadistic serial killer and the detective determined to stop him. As Celeste confronts the killer's manipulations, she must face the deepest corners of her own soul-and the terrifying truth that the game is never truly over.

Chased Through Montana (A BWWM Erotic Romance)

6 parts Complete Mature

Blurb: Detective Layla Owens, after shooting a perp during a drug raid, was placed on mandatory administrative leave, with an "extended vacation" according to her old-fashioned captain and lieutenant. An "extended vacation" to think about her position and all the "things" she could do to make the problem "disappear." Apparently catching the bad guy and shooting a drug dealer meant you had a problem-if you were a female cop. Disgusted by the captain's obvious lust for her body, Layla took the leave and hightailed it to Montana. But once there, Layla didn't expect to run in to someone far more dangerous to her body than criminals or the Maryland PD: Chase Daniels. Chase Daniels had been around long enough to know that good women don't just fall in your lap. Women desired him, and he didn't have to run after any woman-except the day Layla Owens showed up at Stone Ridge. From the moment Chase saw her, all bets were off, and he couldn't wait to let this detective to frisk him! Why didn't she drool over him or at least try to get his attention? Chase isn't used to being the one doing the chasing, but he will pursue the elusive but captivating Layla all up and through Montana just to make her his.
