    A New York Times bestseller “delivers lurid details of political chicanery and lively descriptions” in a thriller about a politician’s vengeful ex-lover (Publishers Weekly). 
     
    Pam Leighton is a smart, ambitious, and sexy aide to a handsome Washington lobbyist named John Duke. For the last two years, she’s also been his lover. It’s an open secret that his glamorous and social-climbing wife, Catherine, tolerates—to a point. 
     
    After the President nominates Duke for a cabinet post, Catherine sees her opportunity and delivers an ultimatum: either fire Pam or get ready for a very public, very ugly divorce. Duke’s sharply honed political instincts tell him exactly what he needs to do. In one abrupt, brutal meeting, Duke ends the relationship and fires her from the job she loves. But Pam is not about to go quietly: A powerful New York publisher is offering her big money for what could be the ultimate Washington tell-all. But when people around her begin dying, Pam realizes that finishing the book may be a matter of life and death—her own.

    At the end of our days we will most likely lie for eternity in the cemetery or graveyard.  Many of these, now wreathed in time, have a romance and overgrown beauty as nature keeps and shelters the dead.  These acres may be the final resting place for those who have passed but for those who visit peace may not be as easy to find.  Grief may still pull at the heart, memories continue to overwhelm, or, even those drawn simply by its history, may encounter different feelings or experiences once inside these cities of the dead.  
     
    For our varied and talented authors, a major theme, or indeed character of the stories in this volume is that very location, and how they weave it into their narratives is both fascinating, enlightening and a wonderfully distinct way of telling classic short stories.

    Due to a temporary peace agreement between the Brotherhood and Corsican, Maxwell and Boris leave with the French and embark on an adventure that proves to be deadly, life-changing, and brutally hilarious. This book should be read after Dirty Cravings (book six of the Lion and Mouse series). While it does feature sexually explicit scenes, it is not a romance. Content Warning: There is a flashback that may be psychologically triggering to those that have experienced sexual abuse. This moment is not used to entertain but to provide insight into the traumatic bond that Maxwell and Emily have with each other.

Instead, Strider Lark becomes suspect number one when a local reporter is found murdered outside Winnie's home. With the spotlight on her brother, Winnie takes a page out of the mysteries she loves and launches her own investigation. Harnessing her tech-savvy skills and bookish knowledge, Winnie thumbs through a trail of cryptic clues in her charming harborside town. It's a race to the last page to unmask the culprit before Strider goes from leading man to dastardly villain…or worse, the killer strikes again.
