    “Don’t go in the guest bedroom.” A shadow falls on Douglas Garrick’s face as he touches the door with his fingertips. “My wife… she’s very ill.” As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can’t risk losing this job—not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe… 
     
      
     
    It’s hard to find an employer who doesn’t ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want. 
     
      
     
    It’s almost perfect. But I still haven’t met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I’m sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I’m doing laundry. And one day I can’t help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything… 
     
      
     
    That’s when I make a promise. After all, I’ve done this before. I can protect Mrs Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe. 
     
      
     
    Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay. It’s simply a question of how far I’m willing to go…

    When DNA results reveal a disturbing connection to the mysterious disappearance of a famous baby nearly three decades ago, a woman’s search for answers draws her to an ominous small town in Nevada and a dangerous web of corruption, power, and lies in this engrossing, propulsive new novel from the internationally bestselling author of Twenty Years Later. 
     
    THIRTY YEARS AGO, BABY CHARLOTTE VANISHED. 
    TODAY, SHE WANTS ANSWERS. 
     
    On the first day of an elite two-year fellowship, Sloan Hastings receives a research assignment in the emerging field of forensic genealogy. It’s the exciting, rapidly evolving science behind the recent breaks in high-profile cold cases from the Golden State Killer to the Cameron Young murder, and Sloan enthusiastically begins by submitting her own DNA to an online genealogy site. Her goal is to better understand the treasure trove of genetic information contained on ancestry websites, but the results she receives are shocking. 
     
    Raised by loving parents, Sloan has always known she was adopted. But her DNA profile suggests her true identity is that of Charlotte Margolis, aka “Baby Charlotte,” who captured the nation’s attention when she and her affluent parents mysteriously vanished in July 1995. Despite a large-scale investigation and months of broad media coverage, there were never any suspects, and the case has been cold for decades. 
     
    Racing to stay ahead of the media and true crime junkies ravenous to know what really happened to Baby Charlotte, Sloan’s search for answers leads her to small-town Cedar Creek, Nevada. There, the Margolis family’s power and influence permeate every corner of the county, and while Sloan’s birth relatives are initially welcoming, they’re also mysterious and tight-lipped. Not everyone seems happy about Sloan’s return, or the questions she’s asking. 
     
    The more she learns, the more apparent it becomes that the answers Sloan seeks are buried in a graveyard of Margolis family secrets. And someone will do anything to keep them hidden...

    What if one orphaned Latina's truth could shift everything, we think we know about who on earth matters—and why? 
    A girl the world forgot. 
    A truth no one saw coming. 
    A story that might change us all. 
    The world treated her as necessary collateral damage. 
    She answered with music-a response of rediscovering humanity. 
    In a world growing numb to cruelty. The original human Beings tell the inspirational story of a girl named Never- a Honduran orphan who escapes living in a Central American city dump and journeys north with a cello on her back. She is fighting to simply stay alive. 
    She alone could protect her hilarious little brother, Homero. She searched for a hero - but found a dreamy Nez Perce young man, the most athletic person she had ever seen, who helped her realize the hero was staring back at her in the mirror. 
    It is a romance as scandalous as it is soulful, with no promise of happily ever after - only truth.  She found refuge in Loco Lucy, the garbage dumps’ foul-mouthed, delightfully deranged, vampire-dressing matriarch. 
    She was hunted by General Alejandro Mendoza-El Caudillo-a ruthless crime Lord who misbelieved he was her father and would burn down the world to control her. 
    And she was stalked by Alonzo Gomez, a seven-foot hitman with a French accent, a loaded pistol, and a soul darker than midnight - until she made him believe in something more dangerous. 
    It is a high concept saga infused with magical realism. 
    It echoes with mythic power of new approach to Voltaire's Candide meets Cervantes Don Quixote's man of La Mancha. 
    This is how we remember what truly matters. This is how we broken walk out of the monster. 
    "The title —The Original Humans —got me. I had to discover the world Tim White was talking about. Brace yourselves, the ride is harrowing yet hopeful."   - Yareli Arizmendi 
    “A masterpiece from one of the best storytellers on the planet.”  - Jodi Garza CEO, flyalaskaseaplanes.com

    A hookup turned deadly. A jealous cowboy with a temper. Can rebel Maggie Killian flip the script before she becomes the next lost cause? 
    “Hutchins’ Maggie is an irresistible train wreck—you can’t help but turn the page to see what trouble she’ll get herself into next.” 
    —Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of My Sister’s Grave 
    Washed-up alt-country rocker turned professional screwup Maggie Killian is drawn back to Wyoming by one dangerous temptation: Hank Sibley, the former bull rider who broke her heart fifteen years ago. When Maggie stumbles into Hank’s wholesome, Sunday-school-teaching girlfriend at a saloon, she does what she does best—reaches for whiskey and bad decisions. 
    One liquor-soaked night later, Maggie wakes up tangled in the sheets of a younger man… who turns up dead minutes after leaving her bed. 
    Stranded in cowboy country with a broken-down truck, Maggie suddenly finds herself surrounded by men with secrets, motives, and grudges. As she searches for the killer, she’s fighting two equally volatile forces: her unresolved chemistry with Hank and her growing affection for local whiskey. 
    When the police start circling Maggie—despite a string of unsettling break-ins at her guest cabin—she realizes she’s on her own. To stay on the right side of the bars, she’ll have to catch the killer before the cops decide the man she suspects most is the jealous, angry cowboy she still can’t resist. 
    Live Wire is a sharp, sexy romantic mystery and the first standalone novel in the Maggie Killian trilogy—part of the addictive What Doesn’t Kill You romantic mystery super series.
