    Tucker Snow is as tough as they come, hardened by decades working as an undercover narcotics agent for the Texas Department of Public Safety. Through special dispensation from the governor, he and his brother Harley cut a wide swath through the criminal element of Northeast Texas. But tragedy comes calling after taking a dream job as a special ranger with the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, when Tucker's wife and toddler are killed in a horrific traffic accident caused by a drug-addled felon. Close to breaking, Tucker sets his badge aside to move his surviving teenage daughter outside of Ganther Bluff, a quiet town with enough room for them to mourn their unexpected loss. But peace doesn't last long for a man like Tucker Snow. Instead of settling into small-town life to heal from such an unimaginable loss, a fresh kind of hell hits them with full force. Crimes and secrets strangle this rural community, and when a new form of meth with the street name of gravel gets too close to home, it's enough for Tucker to put his badge back on and call Harley for help. The town will ultimately be better off with him as a resident lawman, but this unforgiving landscape will threaten everything Tucker holds dear.

    On Thanksgiving Day, LAPD homicide detective Kate Delafield and her partner, Ed Taylor, are called to an apartment building on the edge of Beverly Hills to investigate a premeditated and pitiless murder. 
     
     
     
    No one appears particularly grieved by the shocking end to old-time Hollywood director Owen Sinclair. Surely not three other tenants of the Beverly Malibu, who worked in the motion picture industry during the blacklist years and loathed Sinclair. 
     
     
     
    Nor is Sinclair's latest ex-wife grieved or even his children. Nor film actress and former paramour Maxine Marlowe. Nor Dudley Kincaid, whose brilliant screenplay Sinclair stole. Nor landlady Hazel Turner, whose husband, Jerome, is deceased but not exactly gone . . .  
     
     
     
    Kate sifts through tantalizing clues: a set of handcuffs fastening the murdered man to his bed of death; an album of a Wagner opera; a bourbon bottle lightly dosed with arsenic; a silver frame missing its photo. 
     
     
     
    She is also in a quandary over her fascination with Paula Grant, who discovered the murdered man. Until she is suddenly confounded by a wholly new aspect of herself uncovered by Aimee Grant, Paula Grant's remarkably beautiful young niece . . .

    Like most mothers, Catherine would slip into her sleeping newborn’s room, listening to make sure her baby was still breathing—still alive. Now her daughter is eighteen; however, Catherine continues to check on her at night. She can’t help herself—the intrusive thoughts rise up again and again and anxiety grips her, keeping her awake. Soon Anya is leaving for university, but any excitement Catherine might feel for her daughter is drowned out by terror. Cleaning out her late mother’s dusty, decrepit house, visiting her mentally deteriorating father at his care home, and supporting a bereaved woman at work only stirs up more emotional stress. Soon, her behavior is out of control. But while Catherine obsesses, she does not see the dangers in front of her—and both mother and daughter will be forced to deal with the painful truths that are keeping them trapped.

    Now in his thirties, Leo St. James is fully reformed from his playboy past. He has a fiancée and everything. 
    Oh, no, wait. He lied about that. 
    His fiancée doesn’t exist. 
    But when Leo’s boss sees him with his hand cupped around Amelia Darcy’s face, Leo has no choice but to call her his bride-to-be and promise to bring her to his company retreat. 
    Amelia isn’t amused, but she does see an opportunity. The data analyst in her recognizes the chance to gather some much needed information from a reputable source. 
    Because what does a shameless libertine know better than anyone else?

    Now that Amelia’s hit her professional goals, she’s ready to attack the personal. She’s going to get a boyfriend of her own, and Leo St. James is going to teach her how. Step by sizzling step. 
    All Amelia has to do in exchange is pretend to be Leo’s fiancée for four measly days at his company retreat. Nothing could be easier…as long as she doesn’t fall for the player, and realize her feelings weren’t all that fake after all…
