Sinopsis

First published as Saint's Rest under Keith Miles.
Chicago, 1931. While the Great Depression has tightened its grip on the world, there are still some who have the means to make their dreams a reality. One of these men is Hobart St John, who wants a mansion in the suburb of Oak Park. For young Welsh architect Merlin Richards, the opportunity to work on the house is an answer to his prayer.
But Richards' elation soon turns to confusion and fear. A body has been found on site hanging from a rafter. The authorities dismiss it as suicide but how can that be the case when his hands were tied behind his back? Richards' dream assignment is fast becoming a nightmare, and he realises that the answers he wants might cost him his life.

    Will I be burned by the flames of Detective Dragon? 
     
     
     
    Hannah: The building I'm renovating to turn into a B&B in the cozy coastal town of Mystic Harbor, where humans and monsters live in harmony, is either haunted or someone's trying to sabotage me. 
     
     
     
    After someone rips up my flower beds for the third time, and the local law enforcement can't find any clues, I head to Monsters, PI, where I hire a much-too-gorgeous dragon shifter to determine if I'm a victim of crime or paranormal activity. After someone creeps through my building late at night, Reylor moves in with me to further his investigation. Now that I'm bumping into him in the kitchen and snuggling up with him on the sofa, is it my fault if I'm falling in love? 
     
     
     
    Reylor: I don't believe in ghosts, though I do believe that whoever's sabotaging Hannah's building renovations needs to be locked up for good. From the moment I meet Hannah, I know she's my fated mate. I'll do everything to protect her and solve this crime. If that means moving in with her and watching over her twenty-four-seven, then I'm the right dragon shifter for the job. 
     
     
     
    And when the case is closed? I'm going to make Hannah mine. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    From a USA Today bestselling author and an Earphone award-winning narrator. 
    To Miami Jones, fishing is a pastime best done with a cooler of beer and low expectations. So when a cable TV personality hires him to investigate irregularities in a competitive fishing tournament in Spanish Wells, Bahamas, Jones is less than enthusiastic. 
    He expects to find a bunch of old geezers kicking back with lazy rods and a bucket of worms. What he finds is a high stakes and big money game, where winning is measured not in inches and pounds but in views and sponsorship deals. 
    Before he knows it Jones finds himself in over his head, alone and with clues that all point in the wrong direction. To get himself out of this mess, he'll not only have to solve this mystery but also a murder from decades ago that still casts a shadow across this laid-back paradise.
