Summary

It's 1947. George is going through the motions, sowing seeds and tending plants and harvesting crops. The nursery went on without him perfectly well during the war and he spends a lot of time during the working day hiding from people and working on his own. In the evening he prowls round the place looking for odd jobs to do.
It's been a long, cold winter and Peter doesn't think he'll ever get properly warm or clean again. Finding a place with heated greenhouses and plenty of nooks and crannies to kip in while he's recovering from nasty flu was an enormous stroke of luck. He's been here a few days now. The weather is beginning to warm up and he's just realised there's a huge reservoir of water in one of the greenhouses they use to water the plants. He's become obsessed with getting in and having an all-over wash. 
What will George do when he finds a scraggy ex-soldier bathing in his reservoir? What will Peter do? Is it time for them to both stop running from the past and settle down?

    COP KILLER. 
     
     
     
    That's the accusation scrawled on the home of a dead man, found executed in his own bedroom. That's the tawdry headline thrown around every news channel, every social media feed, every conversation taking over Baltimore. 
     
     
     
    That's the name given to a man who may have been innocent, but never had the chance to prove it—and now Malcolm and Seong-Jae must solve his murder. A death that never should have happened; a death on their watch, when legal technicalities tied their hands. 
     
     
     
    But with the paternity test results hanging over his head, Malcolm grows increasingly erratic, threatening to take his mind from a critical case that could tear Baltimore and the BPD apart. With a dead cop, a dead suspect, and the question of what to do about Juliette and Chrysanthe, there are no easy answers. 
     
     
     
    Only with Seong-Jae can Malcolm keep himself together. 
     
     
     
    And only with Seong-Jae will he find the path he needs to tread.

    One Bed, Two Rivals, and a Battle of Wills . . . 
    CEO Helena Wolfe is the ultimate corporate predator—cold, ruthless, and untouchable. She thrives on competition and control, ruling the boardroom with an iron will and icy precision. But when she's forced to team up with Sloane Callahan—a sharp-tongued, equally ambitious corporate lawyer—sparks fly. And not the friendly kind. 
    Their rivalry is legendary. Their banter? Scorching. And when a business trip mix-up leaves them stuck sharing a hotel bed, their professional tension ignites into something far more dangerous: undeniable chemistry. 
    Helena is determined to keep her walls intact, but Sloane's wit, charm, and refusal to back down make resistance impossible. As their passionate clash deepens into unexpected intimacy, both women must confront the emotional barriers holding them back. 
    Can Helena let her icy armor crack for the one person who sees through it? And will Sloane take the risk of falling for the woman who's perfected the art of staying distant? 
    Contains mature themes.
