Synopsis

Sequel to The Fog of War
Village nurse Walter Kennett is content with his makeshift found-family in tiny Bradfield. However, one midsummer morning a body is found floating in the village duck pond, dead by magical means. 
Detective Simon Frost arrives in Bradfield to investigate an inexplicable murder. The evidence seems to point to Lucille Hall-Bridges, who lives with Doctor Sylvia Marks and Walter Kennett at Courtfield House. Simon isn't happy -- he doesn't believe Lucy is a murderer, but he's sure the three of them are hiding something. In the meantime, the draw he feels toward Walter takes him by surprise. 
Walter is in a dilemma, concealing Sylvia and Lucy's relationship and not knowing how much to tell Frost about the paranormal possibilities of the murder. He isn't interested in going to bed with anyone -- he's got a complicated life and has to know someone really well before he falls between the sheets. He's taken aback by his own attraction to Detective Frost and is angry when Frost appears to twist the spark between them to something transactional in nature. 
Will Walter be satisfied to stay on the periphery of Lucy and Sylvia's love affair, a welcome friend but never quite included? Or is it time for him to strike out and embark on a relationship of his own?

    Jonas: Five years ago, after I lost my husband, I barricaded my heart, not strong enough to let another person get close to it. When our sweet but clumsy bartender, Preston, needs somewhere to stay, I offer him my spare bedroom. We're friends, nothing more. Now, though, the more time I spend with my new roommate, the more he tears down the walls I've built. He's bubbly and sassy, drawing me in from the first broken glass. 
     
    I want to let him in, but I can't . . . Right? 
     
    Preston: My friends tried to warn me my ex was bad news, but it's not until I catch him with our next-door neighbor that I truly see it for myself. Being cheated on sucks, sure, but being cheated on and realizing you have nowhere to live is even worse. Luckily, Peaches' head of security, Jonas, has a place for me. With him. Sure, it starts off innocently enough, but one night, some green lace and a pole change everything. 
     
    It's just a bit of fun. I won't fall for my roommate . . . Will I? 
     
    Seductive Nights is the second book in the Peaches series about a group of friends who work at a strip club. You can expect a protective, but emotionally closed-off widower, a lace-loving bartender with nowhere else to go, and all the found-family vibes of book one.
