In Bride in Hiding, Susannah Kirk hopes to escape an unwanted marriage by posing as a lady's companion in the bridegroom's ancestral home. Trevor Dalton, one of her reclusive lady's grandsons, makes a surprise visit and Susannah worries he may be the very man she is trying to avoid. Trevor's attempts at averting a family scandal are hampered by Susannah at every turn. This ignites his curiosity and he becomes determined to uncover Susannah's secrets--even if he has to seduce them out of her. In Confessions of a Lady Ruined, Julia Bassett can't bear living in the home of the handsome lord who charmed her and then ruined her--especially while he searches for a wife! Julia will do anything to lose her position as his sister's chaperone, even if it means repeating the same scandalous behavior that separated them long ago. Colin Danforth enjoys seeing how far Julia will go, but he regrets breaking her heart and would like to win her back. But when attempts are made on his life, he must find out if this bold vixen is seeking love...or vengeance. In The Truth About Georgiana, Georgiana Hayward is betrothed by her family to a marquess many years her senior. Worse, his dashing nephew and outraged heir, Anthony Baxter, is the man she secretly desires. Anthony opposes the union due to decorum, panicked relatives, and especially Georgiana's kiss that has put a chink in his armor. When his attempts to dissuade this notorious hellion leave him frustrated, amused, and falling in love, he must decide whether to risk a scandal of his own and claim the heart of this wild vixen.

Now, decades later, betrayed by her husband and resented by her teenage daughter, Jenna decides to resurrect her career—and returns to the city she loves.

Blackmail, sexual harassment, murder . . . and a missing dog: eccentric, eco-obsessed LA private eye Charlie Waldo is on the case in this quirky, fast-paced mystery. Paying a harsh self-imposed penance for a terrible misstep on a case, former LAPD superstar detective Charlie Waldo lives a life of punishing minimalism deep within the woods, making a near religion of his commitment to owning no more than One Hundred Things. At least, he’s trying to. His PI girlfriend Lorena keeps drawing him back to civilization – even though every time he compromises on his principles, something goes wrong. And unfortunately for Waldo, all roads lead straight back to LA. When old adversary Don Q strongarms him into investigating the seemingly mundane death of a vagrant, Lorena agrees he can work under her PI license on one condition: he help with a high-maintenance celebrity client, wildly popular courtroom TV star Judge Ida Mudge, whose new mega-deal makes her a perfect target for blackmail. Reopening the coldest of cases, a decades-old fraternity death, Waldo begins to wonder if the judge is, in fact, a murderer – and if he’ll stay alive long enough to find out. Pay or Play is the third in the Charlie Waldo series, following Last Looks and Below the Line. Last Looks was turned into a major motion picture, starring Charlie Hunnam as the offbeat private investigator.
