  Lillian Byrd has been searching her soul after the gut-wrenching experience of killing someone in self-defense. Scrabbling to make ends meet, she takes a job as a quasi-detective, solving life's little mysteries for a pair of eccentric women in one of Detroit's last prestigious neighborhoods. When she spots a corpse on the next-door lawn, she jumps back into honest work as an investigative journalist. 
   
   
   
  Her friend Mercedes reveals that the dead woman, Abby Rawson, played on a women's softball team she manages and pressures Lillian into taking her spot. Softball turns to hardball when Lillian not only plunges into a love affair with the team's sought-after pitcher but also goes undercover as an exterminator, a squatter, and a charity worker to investigate Abby's death and the corrupt medical organization she worked for. No one on the team is above suspicion, and as they get closer to snagging the coveted championship title—and Lillian gets closer to discovering the dark truth behind Abby's murder—she fights to keep her new love in her life and literally save her own. 
   
   
   
  Filled with Lillian Byrd's trademark snark, nail-biting twists and turns, and a thrilling climax, Left Field scores a grand slam that'll leave listeners cheering in the stands.

  Carson Ballard isn’t only lactose intolerant—he’s intolerable. No wonder his assistant quit on him without notice. 
  Okay, okay, he has a right to be angry at me for dumping an armful of sticky breakfast plates on his head. It was an accident, I swear. 
  But now I’m out of a job—not that I’m any good at waiting tables—and Carson’s mother is offering to hire me. 
  There’s no way I can work for him. I may be from the sticks, but Davis Turner is nobody’s fool. Not anymore. 
  I refuse to be Carson’s next victim. Something will turn up. I’ll take anything. As long as I can hide away in the city, where my ex can’t find me. 
  Except my bank account is at rock bottom and rent is due. I’m running out of food. And time. 
  I guess I have to work for Carson. He’ll be my boss—nothing more. I can keep things professional. 
  There’s just one little problem. 
  Carson may not be as horrible as I thought. He’s trying so hard to right the wrongs of his father and brother, who left him with a mess most people would walk away from. 
  But Carson Ballard isn’t most people. And he won’t accept defeat. 
  Damn you, Carson. 
  Why do you have to be so nice...so generous…so wickedly funny and so, so sexy? 
  You’re offering me a future…if I can ignore the mistakes of my past. 
  You’re an impossible man who’s making everything possible. 
  How can I not fall for you?

  Sequel to Call Me Methuselah
  Dating a caveman isn't what Radhi had in mind. He likes guys his own age. Sure, Oscar passes for twenty, but he isn't. They look identical, but they're not. Oscar's tried telling him, but who would believe such a thing -- until now. Radhi can't deny it anymore -- his ex-boyfriend's a caveman. 
  After knocking out Dr. Killington's thug and rescuing Oscar, Radhi's worried he'll get arrested. He launches his father's boat on Lake Mead and knows the perfect hideout. He and Oscar can figure out what's next for them. 
  When Dr. Killington learns the secret in Oscar's blood, it gives Oscar two choices -- remain on the run, away from Killington, or turn himself in. Whether the FBI, FDA, or whoever, someone ought to know what Killington's been up to. Experiments with Oscar's rare stem cells have cured people and made them young again. 
  Cursed to see the end of days, Oscar can't bear losing another loved one. If only Radhi could be with him when the world ends, but Radhi doesn't love him.
  Never having lost someone, death seems unreal to Radhi ... until a close encounter. Understanding mortality for the first time, he learns the meaning of Oscar's gift and the threat of his curse. When Oscar shares adventures from the Stone Age, the surprisingly intimate stories draw Radhi in and change his heart. He knows what he must do.

  2025 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards finalist 
   
  The day she loses her job and her apartment, a third surprise awaits Celeste Dorin: her great-aunt left her a hotel in a tiny town in the mountains. Is the universe nudging her—not very subtly—in a new direction? For the first time in years, Celeste ignores her anxiety and rushes to the French Alps. To Montlouis, where she has refused to go back since she was a child. 
   
  Rose Beauvoir has two passions: chocolate and the stars. Or three, if you count Montlouis. The arrival of the clumsy Parisian disrupts her well-oiled routines, and she'd lie if she said she doesn't enjoy the blast of fresh air. 
   
  As Celeste learns about life at high altitude and Rose shares her love for her hometown and its surroundings, the two women can't deny the attraction blooming between them. The shift from Celeste's boring yet comfortable life as a paralegal in the city to that of a hotelier in the mountains isn't for the faint of heart, however. Will the beautiful scenery, the welcoming townies, and the deceptively reserved chocolatier convince her to stay?
