  When Jeff Hubbard's vixen of an ex-wife, Amanda, asks for help avoiding her stalker, it's all Kendra can do not to hiss and scratch. But when that stalker turns up dead in Amanda's home, she makes Kendra an offer she can't refuse: solve the case, and Amanda will take her claws out of Jeff for good. It won't be easy: there's a litter of suspects, two slinky Bengal cats are the only witnesses to the crime, and Jeff and Amanda seem cozier than ever. Worst of all, someone's threatening to harm Lexie, Kendra's beloved King Charles spaniel. But the killer seems to have forgotten one very important fact . . . when it comes to crime-solving, Kendra Ballantyne is the cat's meow.

  Burned-out chef, and a bit of a hippy at heart if he's honest, Max Effort has had enough. He's packed in his job at a swanky Michelin three-star restaurant, grown his hair, berated his parents yet again for giving him such a "go get 'em" name, accepted he's never going to get his ex-wife back, and he's hitting the road. 
   
   
   
  The house is sold, a VW Campervan bought, and Anxious, his trusty Jack Russell Terrier, has already picked his spot. 
   
   
   
  Sick of the sight of roux, defiant in the face of deconstructed trifle, green at the sight of truffles, and despairing of anything served on a slate rather than a plate, he's about to embark on a tour of the backroads of Britain. He'll weave his way around the country to visit the sights, go to a few festivals, catch up with friends, and just chill out. 
   
   
   
  And every single night without fail, he's going to make his main meal in his cast-iron pot. It's one-pot cooking or bust for Max, and he cannot wait. 
   
   
   
  Freedom at last. The open road with his best friend for company. No hot, sweaty kitchens, shouting chefs, uppity waiters, or demanding customers. Just countryside, campsites, back-to-basics cooking, and the stars at night. 
   
   
   
  Then there was a murder . . .

  You know what you did. So do I. 
  The man who’s been stalking Private Investigator Winter Black is dead, but he wasn’t working alone. Threats linger in the shadows, and she can’t shake the chilling feeling that she’s being watched. 
  It’s about to get personal…again. 
  A flyer advertising her business—Black Investigations—was found on the tenth-floor balcony of a woman who apparently jumped to her death. Except Winter has never seen the brochure before. Stranger still, her two newest clients received the same fake flyer, along with a blackmail letter. 
  Pay for your crime or kill yourself. 
  Did the dead woman receive the same threat and choose option two? Or did someone make that choice for her? 
  As Winter digs deeper into her clients’ dark confessions and pasts, she finds more questions than answers—and a terrifying pattern. Someone is playing a twisted game, and the flyers are an invitation for Winter to play…whether she wants to or not. But it’s hard to win when you don’t know the rules. Or your opponent. 
  The stakes have never been higher in Winter’s Stalker, the darkly addictive seventh book in the Winter Black Season Two series, where one thing becomes chillingly clear: in this game, there are fates worse than death.

  It’s 1939. Jane’s got five days at sea to solve the murder of a Wimbledon champion’s coach and submit a gossip column that tells the truth. If not the facts...  
  On the brink of World War II, Jane Benjamin wants to have it all. By day she hustles as a scruffy, tomboy cub reporter. By night she secretly struggles to raise her toddler sister, Elsie, and protect her from their mother. But Jane’s got a plan: she’ll become the San Francisco Prospect’s first gossip columnist and make enough money to care for Elsie. 
  Jane finagles her way to the women’s championship at Wimbledon, starring her hometown’s tennis phenom and cover girl Tommie O’Rourke. She plans to write her first column there. But then she witnesses Edith “Coach” Carlson, Tommie’s closest companion, drop dead in the stands of apparent heart attack, and her plan is thrown off track. 
  While sailing home on the RMS Queen Mary, Jane veers between competing instincts: Should she write a social bombshell column, personally damaging her new friend Tommie’s persona and career? Or should she work to uncover the truth of Coach’s death, which she now knows was a murder, and its connection to a larger conspiracy involving US participation in the coming war? 
  Putting away her menswear and donning first-class ballgowns, Jane discovers what upper-class status hides, protects, and destroys. Ultimately—like nations around the globe in 1939—she must choose what she’ll give up in order to do what’s right.
