One confession. One killer. One cop she can’t resist.

Trauma surgeon Marissa Fairfax is accustomed to blood, chaos, and last breaths. Not deathbed confessions. She’s more concerned with saving a gang member’s life than she is hearing his garbled threat to expose a criminal organization. Minutes after stabilizing him, another gang member executes the patient—and takes Marissa hostage.

Detective Jack Corelli has been working the same case that the gang member threatened. He’s determined to find the mastermind and arrest him. He saves Marissa from the kidnapper, learning she’s the witness who can break his case wide open.

Marissa refuses to hide in a safe house. She won’t abandon her patients—or let fear control her life. Jack doesn’t give her a choice. If she won’t disappear, he’ll protect her. Day and night.

Jack moves into her hospital, her home, her thoughts, her world. The danger outside is lethal. The attraction inside, even more so. And the closer the killer gets, the harder it is to ignore the heat building between them.

Can they stop the killer before it’s too late—or will the truth they discover destroy any chance at love?

Laura thought adopting a dog might be the answer to a lonely Christmas.

So did Drew.

When they both arrive at the I Choose You Animal Shelter, they expect to leave with a new best friend. Instead, they meet Einstein, a lovable golden retriever with a mind of his own. During the shelter’s one-of-a-kind choosing session, Einstein is released into a room of hopeful pet parents to choose his forever family.

Only he can’t seem to make up his mind.

After happily greeting Laura, Einstein trots across the room to Drew. Then back to Laura. Then back to Drew. The shelter manager has never seen anything like it. Faced with an impossible decision, she suggests an unusual arrangement: Laura and Drew will share Einstein until everyone figures out where he truly belongs.

When the dish is to die for. Literally.

When Cora Croft—pillar of the community—drops dead at the neighborhood block party, Myrtle’s casserole is exhibit A. Which sadly makes Myrtle a forensic point of interest instead of a detective.

It turns out Bradley’s most celebrated civic institution spent decades collecting enemies as efficiently as she collected accolades. With her son Red quietly furious, neighbor Erma armed with photographs of gnome-related property damage, and half the town weighing in on her casserole with entirely too much sympathy and not nearly enough surprise, Myrtle has exactly the kind of puzzle she lives for. Now she just needs to convince everyone she’s solving it—not responsible for it.

Before April 12th, Ava Garcia knew exactly who she was: daughter, girlfriend, best friend, high school junior.

Then her boyfriend died. Her best friend died. And Ava found out she could run at two hundred miles an hour — a secret that’s made her both more and less alone than she’s ever been.

When a tanker truck explodes on the highway outside Sunvail, Arizona, Ava is first on scene — and first to realize it’s no accident. Someone is hunting people with powers. There’s a list. There’s money behind it. And there’s no sign it’s finished growing.

With her allies scattered and her trust running thin, Ava is going to have to figure out who’s really on her side before the list runs out of names — and hers is still on it.

Because when the whole world feels like it’s closing in, there are only two ways this goes: run and hide forever — or stop being the girl the world is against, and become the girl who’s against the world.
