An ace arson investigator, the daughter of a billionaire, and a series of fires that nearly destroy them all…

Firefighter Christian Perez knows everything there is about arson investigations. It’s why he’s the top trainer, along with his K9 partner, Cinder, at DCSR. He’s molding the next generation and doesn’t have time to cater to a billionaire who thinks he can buy anything, including Christian’s time. To make matters worse, he knows—and dislikes—his daughter for very good reasons.

Megan Williams hates the spotlight that her father’s billion-dollar empire shines on her life. It’s ruined everything she’s ever cared about, and now it might even take her life when a series of criminal fires make it clear someone is out to get her family. Her father turns to the best arson investigator in the country. The only problem, she knows exactly who he is—the mystery man from her dating app.

Can they find away to let go of the past and give love a second chance? Can Christian figure out who is setting the fires? And will he be able to stop the arsonist before the final fire claims Megan and her family’s lives?

In a world where personal value has been distilled down to how many likes, shares, and comments your posts receive, some people will do anything to become famous…

And if you can’t make it on talent or looks, sometimes you have to resort to more sinister means of acquiring the attention you crave.

As a general rule, you should never f$#* with cats. You also shouldn’t mess with Detective Damien Drake or his inner circle. Because if you piss Drake off, he’s coming for you.

And there aren’t enough internet trolls on earth to stop him.  (Amazon)

Is it medical malpractice, or is the attorney just another ambulance chaser?

It’s 1995, and Houston orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jim Bob Brady has been sued for medical malpractice; a mysterious infection caused a knee replacement to end up as an amputation. Donovan Shaw, a ruthless plaintiff’s attorney, has taken the case and doesn’t seem bothered by the fact that he and Brady share a number of friends. “It’s not personal!” Shaw says. But it feels personal–especially when Shaw threatens, “I will do anything, and I mean anything, to win the case, even if I have to destroy you and that pretty wife of yours. I will stop at nothing. You remember that!”

And Brady isn’t the only one in his practice being sued. How is Shaw getting his inside information? Can the patients afford to say no to filing lawsuits, even if the claims aren’t valid? Through a series of twists and turns, and with the support of his wife Mary Louise and their professional investigator son J. J, Brady once again doggedly goes into “sleuth mode” to get to the truth of the matter–even after his life is put in jeopardy. Will he survive, only to find himself at the mercy of the wild and wooly Houston court system? Is this whole mess his fault? Or is there an act of deception involved?  (Amazon)

A baker who sees the dead. One too many suitors.
And a killer. Living in Honey Hollow can be murder.

*A laugh out loud standalone cozy mystery by New York Times Bestseller Addison Moore* All books in the series can be read individually but are best enjoyed in order.***Includes RECIPE***

My name is Lottie Lemon, and I see dead people. Okay, so I rarely see dead people, mostly I see furry creatures of the dearly departed variety, who have come back from the other side to warn me of their previous owner’s impending doom.

Noah and Everett are being honored at an awards banquet when an attendant is gunned down while eating my delicious peach cobbler. Not only is it proving to be a long, hot, summer—but with a homicide before us, explosive rumors I’m having to dodge, and the fact Everett has a dark secret, it feels as someone has lit my entire world on fire. There’s a killer among us, and I plan on bringing them to justice. There are secrets among us too, and a part of me wonders if we can ever survive them.

Lottie Lemon has a brand new bakery to tend to, a budding romance with perhaps one too many suitors, and she has the supernatural ability to see dead pets—which are always harbingers for ominous things to come. Throw in the occasional ghost of the human variety, a string of murders, and her insatiable thirst for justice, and you’ll have more chaos than you know what to do with.

Living in the small town of Honey Hollow can be murder.

From the NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling author, Addison Moore— Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison’s books, “…easy, frothy fun!”  (Amazon)

Walk the streets of New Orleans with Detective Mario DeLuca, as he and his friend, Detective Howard Blitz, work together to solve crimes and multiple murders. While holding true to the values of the True Blue police officers, Mario is also trying to come to terms with his own past and what’s causing his night terrors.

Mario works tirelessly to solve a triple homicide that occurred in one of New Orleans’s restaurants. At the same time, he tries to right a wrong that happened years ago when he was only a boy.

His tenacity and unwavering determination are also balanced with kindness and understanding for the people he deals with every day. Mario visits an old neighbor from his youth, and discovers that the fishing camp he went to on Irish Bayou holds a variety of secrets. Reconnecting with his boyhood friend, Mario finds out that there are family repercussions beyond what he imagined.

Mario and Howard are good at their jobs and even better as a team of detectives. They disagree, fight, call each other every name in the book, but they are True Blue partners. And more than that, they are friends.

Friends, partners, buddies, whatever people want to call their relationship; these two have covered for each other for years. Decisions on operating above the law might sometimes cross the line, but one thing is for sure, they always have the interest of the people who pay their salaries—the citizens of New Orleans.

In this action-filled novel, filled with biting dialogue, engaging characters, and the unique city of Orleans, there is joy, sorrow, rage, revenge, love, and hope as this story unfolds to reveal the unexpected.  (Amazon)

Appearances can be deceiving.

Amber Blackwood, Edgehill’s secret resident witch, recently found her parents’ grimoires and the powerful time spells within. The malevolent Penhallow clan has been ruthlessly seeking the grimoires so they can travel back in time to undo their clan’s cursed magic. Because the Penhallows will stop at nothing, Amber must find an impregnable hiding place for the grimoires, though she has no clue where to start looking. When her cousin Edgar suggests the game of Magic Cache, a magic-infused version of geocaching played by witches all over the world, Amber agrees to learn how to play. After all, a weird plan is better than no plan.

When the magical search leads her to the neighboring town of Marbleglen—“the safest town in Oregon”—Amber assumes her only problem will be dealing with its snooty residents. Instead, she gets caught up in a murder investigation where one man is dead and a second one framed for the crime. To complicate matters, the framed man’s condescending daughter, Bianca, wants Amber’s help—and Bianca just happens to chair Marbleglen’s Floral Frenzy Flower Festival Committee, the rival to Edgehill’s own Here and Meow Festival Committee. The two women are thrown into an uneasy alliance.

Joined by her new frenemy, her growing inner circle, and Edgehill’s Chief Brown, Amber works to unravel the mystery to ensure the right culprit ends up behind bars and Marbleglen’s safety is restored. But Amber knows that even if Marbleglen’s mystery is resolved, a bigger danger lurks in the shadows. If the Penhallows claim the grimoires of Amber’s late parents, they’ll use the books’ time-reversal spells to try to stop the curse from ever having poisoned their clan—and, in the process, possibly rewriting history.  (Amazon)
