  A bundle of books #1 (A KILLER CUPCAKE), #2 (A MURDEROUS MACARON), and #3 (A PERILOUS CAKE POP) in Fiona Grace’s Beachfront Bakery cozy mystery series. This bundle offers books one, two, and three in one convenient file, with over 150,000 words of reading.
  
  In A KILLER CUPCAKE (Book #1), Allison Sweet, 34, a sous chef in Los Angeles, has had it up to here with demeaning customers, her demanding boss, and her failed love life. After a shocking incident, she realizes the time has come to start life fresh and follow her lifelong dream of moving to a small town and opening a bakery of her own. When Allison spots a charming, vacant storefront on the boardwalk near Venice, she wonders if she could really start life anew. Feeling like it’s a sign, and a time to take a chance in life, she goes for it. Yet Allison did not anticipate the wild ride ahead of her: the boardwalk, filled with fun and outrageous characters, is pulsing with life, from the Italian pizzeria owners on either side of her who vie for her affection, to the fortune tellers and scheming rival bakery owner nearby. Allison yearns to just focus on her delicious new pastry recipes and keep her struggling bakery afloat—but when a murder occurs right near her shop, everything changes. Implicated, her entire future at stake, Allison has no choice but to investigate to clear her name. As an orphaned dog wanders into her life, a devoted new sidekick with a knack for solving mysteries, she starts her search. Will they find the killer? And can her struggling bakery survive?
  
  In A MURDEROUS MACARON (Book #2), a rude tourist dies after eating his way up and down the boardwalk, and all eyes fall on Allison, as the police blame her new macarons. The macarons have a secret ingredient that is so delicious it has customers lining up and down the boardwalk—but they are not, she knows, the cause of death. Allison, forced to clear her name and salvage her customers, has no choice but to retrace the victim’s foodie trek up and down the boardwalk, and to figure out what he ate—or who he insulted—that could have gotten him killed. With her beloved dog at her side, it is a race against time to crack the mystery and solve the crime before she loses her bakery—and her budding romance—for good.
  
  In A PERILOUS CAKE POP (Book #3), after a popular food critic trashes Allison’s bakery, he ends up dead—and suspicion falls on her. With business failing, Allison’s only hope is to solve the crime and clear her name. But it’s not so simple: the dead critic infuriated a long line of people, and any of them could have gladly killed him. Will Allison—and her beloved dog—be able to solve the seemingly impossible case in time?
  
  A hilarious cozy mystery series, packed with twists, turns, romance, travel, food and unexpected adventure, the BEACHFRONT BAKERY series will keep you laughing and turning pages late into the night as you fall in love with an endearing new character who will capture your heart.

  Necropolis of the Gods

  For centuries, legends have whispered of an extraordinary group of ancient people whose lifespans stretched two or three times longer than ordinary people. Though not truly immortal, these enigmatic individuals amassed lifetimes of unparalleled knowledge, their advancements so astonishing that they were mistaken as gods. 
  They shaped humanity’s most extraordinary achievements: the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Ming dynasty’s Treasure Ships, the lost city of Atlantis, the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, and a global communication network – known as the Looking Glass – that linked the world four thousand years before Columbus crossed the Atlantic, earning them the title of Master Builders. 
  When the last of the great ones died, their vast knowledge of the ancient world was buried with them in a secret tomb some believed was never meant to be found. If such a necropolis existed, it would be much larger than even the Great Pyramid of Khufu, its treasures eclipsing those of King Tutankhamun, and guarded by an ancient army more formidable than the Terracotta Warriors who protected the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. 
  With the location of the Necropolis of the Gods now known, Sam Reilly is on a race to reach its inner sanctum before others – equipped with the Elixir of Life – are able to steal its deadly treasures and unlock an ancient army of unimaginable power.
