Cynical attorney Liam Raven hid his father's bigamy...until it was too late.  Ironically, Liam specializes in divorce cases.  But when Chloe Hamilton is charged with murdering her husband, a popular Denver mayor, he makes an exception.

Liam's relationship to Chloe quickly surpasses client and attorney.  Her former husband had many secrets--including a connection to Ron Raven's other family.  And acquitting Chloe means uncovering a string of lies and treachery that leads back to Liam's father.

Annie, a former gambling protégé, isn’t going to pull the wool over this ex-soldier’s eyes...even if Sam Knight is finding the woman and her daughter impossible to resist.  She certainly has an uncanny knack for counting cards, but Sam can read people.  And everything about Annie tells him she wants the same things he only wishes he could have: a family and a love you can rely on.....

Then a fellow pet-sitter turns up bludgeoned to death. Kendra has her suspicions, but it soon appears she’s barking up the wrong tree.

With his son's life hanging in the balance, getting involved with Natasha just might get them killed.  Now it was a race against time to find the madman who threatened them--and to protect woman and child at all costs....

Mooncusser Cove by Darragha Foster, Liquid Silver Books, ISBN: 9781595783837

Born in 1864 to a wealthy coastal family, Vesper Highgate-Adaire was well on her way to becoming a first-rate stripper just like her mother. A stripper of boots and brass off the bodies of wrecked sailors, in accordance with family traditions--the traditions of the Mooncusser clan. Traditions that changed after the wrecking of a ship befouled by an accursed sea captain--who in his twisted rage, shared his curse with the clan.  They became Shadow Lovers, the lot of them, for all time, cursed to feed upon those energies best expended only between husband and wife. Or upon blood. And only on the dark of the moon. 

Forced to leave their beloved beach so as not to saturate the land with their poison, only Vesper remained behind to care for the family estate, and wait for the unholy captain's return.  But time and tide and the feverish nightmares left behind in her victims after her embrace do not wait for dark nights to move in their unstoppable, mysterious ways. A juggernaut of hellish proportions is coming to the beach--and there�s only one way to stop it. Hard-headed and proud, Vesper won't accept that fact. She'd rather die fighting than flee and live. Good thing the only person alive able to control a Mooncusser's daughter has returned to the cove. And his blood-ties to the beach are just as thick as hers.

Witch in the House by Jenna McKnight, Avon, ISBN: 9780060843694

For years after Doug Delarue and his friends went out to check on their boat and never returned, their wives held out hope that one day the three men would come back, safe and unharmed. When the men are legally declared dead, Jade Delarue finally accepts that it's time to move on with her life. To that end, Jade, a witch, casts a spell to bring her a new love, and if he happens to look like Pierce Brosnan, who's complaining? But when Jade's spell goes slightly awry, she frantically begins the rituals to turn it around.

Mason Kincaid and his partner, Anthony, travel to Mystic Manor to investigate the three widows who stand to collect a tidy sum in life insurance now that their husbands have officially been declared dead. Having just been left at the altar, literally, Mason is uninterested in the case, preferring to drown his sorrows on the beaches of Aruba. But his interest is piqued when he meets the bewitching Jade and begins to unearth her secrets. She, however, is stunned when Mason, a Pierce Brosnan look-alike, walks through her door. The more Jade works on getting Mason to leave, the more he's determined to stay.
