Summary

Jennifer and Catherine-sisters who have inherited equal shares of power in Pegasus Satellite Services, one of the biggest communications empires in the world-could not be more different.  While Catherine is an extraordinary beauty whose looks attract the most handsome and powerful men, her sister is a plain-Jane, no-nonsense gal who prefers running the company to walking the red carpet.But Jennifer's aversion to the spotlight becomes secondary after the successful launch of the Pegasus III satellite, her newest technological masterpiece.  The company needs someone to explain the revolutionary communications tool to potential clients and Jennifer is forced to make the awkward transition from playing scientist in the laboratory to playing hostess at the most lavish party in Cannes.That's where she meets Padraig, a major film star with enough Irish charm and celebrity cache to make the move to power producer.  But when he marries Jennifer, Catherine's protective instincts are triggered: is the playboy actor only after Jennifer's money and connections?  When Jennifer is almost killed in a car accident on her honeymoon, Catherine feels she must intervene in her sister's relationship.  But Jennifer begins to suspect that Catherine is jealous of the wallflower sister's new romance, and possibly of her power within the company.  Was the accident Catherine's murderous attempt to win complete control of Pegasus?  Suddenly, neither sister can trust the other in a game that has their love, fortune, and even their lives hanging in the balance.What begins as a rivalry between sisters becomes a chilling novel of psychological suspense in which one sister find herself alone on a yacht at sea, forced to defend herself from a terrifying killer in league with her sister.  But which sister?

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Set in the 1850s, Loaded for Justice is a tale of former outlaws, lawmen, and families entangled in a complex web of betrayal, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a volatile Western backdrop. The narrative delves into the dichotomy of loyalty and duty, the profound impact of past actions on present relationships, and the constant struggle for peace amidst the ever-present threat of violence. 
    Unlike the damsels in distress that clutter history books, Martha Swanson refused to be confined by society's expectations. She possessed a sharp mind, a fierce spirit, and a surprising talent with a six-shooter – a rare combination for a woman in her time. Fueled by ambition and a thirst for knowledge, she yearned to carve her own path in a world designed to keep women on the sidelines. Societal constraints weren't her only hurdles. 
    After a decade away, Randall Pruitt craved the adrenaline rush of robbing stagecoaches. But his once-loyal gang had scattered, leaving him a solitary shadow of his former self. He began piecing together a new crew, his resolve fueled by a twisted sense of obligation. "Family takes care of family," he'd mutter. This mantra rang hollow considering his strained relationships with his brother Joseph, nephew Thomas, and Alexander. 
    Martha and Randall aren’t alone in this saga. Sheriff Joseph Pruitt, bound by duty yet haunted by the past, wrestles with his loyalties. Thomas, yearning for a normal life, finds himself entangled in a family legacy of violence. Ride into Loaded for Justice, the first book in the Dark Sheriff series, and discover a world where justice is a loaded gun and family ties can bind or betray.

    Back from vacation, Lance is ready to dive back into work—that is, until the morgue employees are taken hostage on his first day back. Held at gunpoint was not how he thought he'd spend his day. With their lives on the line, Lance and the others have no choice but to follow orders and perform the autopsy that's been demanded. 
     
     
     
    Angus never dreamed he'd be the one worrying about Lance being killed. He was the one with the dangerous job, not Lance. With the only information he can get coming from the ghosts, Angus and his mother try to sort through the evidence and do everything they can to keep Lance and the others alive. 
     
     
     
    As the case unfolds, Angus faces twists and turns he never saw coming, and as the truth is exposed, he prays the vacation he just enjoyed with Lance won't be the last one they ever share.

    An innkeeper who reads minds. An ornery detective. And a trail of bodies. Cider Cove is the premier destination for murder. 
    Includes a recipe! 
    My name is Bizzy Baker, and I can read minds - not every mind, not every time, but most of the time, and believe me when I say it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. 
    It’s December in Cider Cove. Christmas is afoot - and so is a killer. 
    Mackenzie’s cousin is looking to get married in a haunted house and Mack offers up the next-best thing - the Country Cottage Inn. But when a killer shows up at the rehearsal dinner, it throws a wrench in their nuptials, and in my holiday plans as well. Add Santa to the mix; a war between Georgie, my mother, and me; a couple of adorable fuzzy pups - and you’ve got enough yuletide chaos to jingle anybody’s bell. As it turns out, the holidays really can be murder. 
    Bizzy Baker runs the Country Cottage Inn, has the ability to pry into the darkest recesses of both the human and animal mind, and has just stumbled upon a body. With the help of her kitten, Fish, a mutt named Sherlock Bones, and an ornery yet dangerously good-looking homicide detective, Bizzy is determined to find the killer. 
    The Country Cottage Inn is known for its hospitality. Leaving can be murder.
