Summary

What happens when men who work two sides of the moral code of crime come together? Todd Gleason, con man, meets Jimmy McSwain, private detective, in a game of wits that challenges their own take on justice.
For Todd Gleason, there was something alluring about Jersey-born Angela Delvecchio that caught his attention. They had a fun night, but that's all, right? 
On his train ride back to the city, Todd overhears two men of questionable repute discussing the death of a friend of theirs -- and the money she left behind. Sounds like an opportunity for an intrepid con man. 
Fresh off a case of dueling cheating spouses, Jimmy McSwain sees two locals arrive at his uncle's pub. Known in Hell's Kitchen as usually up to no good, Jimmy finds himself more intrigued by the man following them. But their chance meeting may force the two of them to work together on a spiraling conspiracy. 
It's a tough world out there. New York has its villains. New Jersey has its scams. Both have their bodies. This story is fun, dangerous, suspenseful, and fast-paced, and could only have come from the singular mind of Adam Carpenter and Joseph Pittman.
Available since: 12/07/2024.

    With the help of their ball-busting daughter, some questionable morals, and an important job to get done, Casey and Boone will steal you away to the grit and glitz of Las Vegas in this fast-paced romance. 
 
 
 
I'm not supposed to do this job without Boone. 
 
 
 
We may not share genes, but it's been us against the world since his mom took me in as a toddler. The rowdy O'Sullivan boys who raised all the hell that Vegas could handle. Not that all my memories are wild and make my heart race. After all, I realized I was in love with the bastard at some point, so there's been plenty of pathetic yearning and jealousy too. 
 
 
 
Even so, it's been him and me. Brothers, partners in crime, and, for the past six years, coparents to an amazing little girl. But that's another story. Right now, I gotta focus on the job our cousin gave us, and I need Boone by my side. 
 
 
 
The problem is we haven't really been on speaking terms for four years now. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

In December 2013, an ice storm buries Toronto as realtor Laura Keys prepares to sell a one-of-a-kind house on behalf of its comatose owner. Haunting Laura, and longing to be invited in, is a mysterious teenage girl with a Scottish terrier tucked into her coat. 
 
 
 
As Laura readies the house for showing, she learns more about its owner, Edna "Eddie" Ferguson. Leading up to the Great Snowstorm of 1944, Eddie, a brickmaker, enters into a passionate yet ill-fated affair with her boss's daughter. While uncovering the past, Laura navigates both the death of her mother and a troubled marriage straining under the weight of her infertility. 
 
 
 
Across two paralyzing winter storms, set nearly seventy years apart and connected by a house and a murder, Semi-Detached contends with living after loss, love, and the meaning of home. 
 
 
 
Insightful and evocative, emotionally intelligent and propulsive, this is a novel from a writer at the top of her game.

    It's Halloween...and we're coming for him. 
I'm not a fan of Halloween. I think it just gives people an excuse to reveal the freakier sides of themselves. And to be real, all that mess can remain locked away. 
This year, though, my best friend has it in his head that I'm coming to this year's party with him. I don't like attending parties, much less Halloween parties. But to shut him up, I reluctantly agree. 
I'm not expecting to experience the best night of life there with not just one, but two men in a committed relationship with each other. 
And for them...one night isn't enough. They want more. 
Question is...will I be able to handle being in a polygamous relationship?
