  This is the story of a mild-mannered civil servant, Mr. Golyadkin, who begins to see his "doppelganger" appearing in his life (at work, in society, etc). This "double" has all the qualities that the protagonist lacks. His "double" bullies and persecutes him, slowly taking his place in the world. As the story progresses what could have been a true "double" is revealed to the reader as being Mr. Golyadkin's own mind splitting from reality. It is a haunting and tragic tale. (Summary by Greg Giordano)

  The guy who steps up to me at my mom and new stepdad’s wedding is a walking contradiction. He’s huge. Like, ridiculously big. His shoulders practically block the light, and his chest—don’t get me started on his chest—makes me forget how to breathe. And he’s not just a muscle-bound nightmare; he’s got this cocky, arrogant smile that makes him look like he knows exactly what he’s doing to me. Everything about him screams stay away. 
  And I know better than to fall for a guy like him. I’m not some damsel in distress. I’ve got my career to think about, my future. I’ve spent the last few years busting my ass, climbing the corporate ladder at one of the most prestigious financial firms in the city. I'm going to nail this interview and land a spot as the secretary to the city’s most powerful CEO. From there, there’s no stopping me. 
  But then, of course, life has to throw me a curveball. 
  It turns out, this impossibly handsome, infuriatingly smug guy? He’s my new stepbrother. And my new boss. 
  Warning: This stepbrother romance is all kinds of forbidden. If you love dirty-talking stepbrothers and steamy power play, then this one will make you swoon.

  Salem, Massachusetts, B&B owner Charlene Morris will need the luck of the Irish—and the help of a ghost—to unveil a hooded killer . . . 
   
   
   
  Charlene has hired a van to ferry her B&B guests to an all-you-can-eat corned beef and cabbage dinner hosted by Salem's Irish community at the Ancient Order of Hibernians club—but she should have booked a hearse. It's never a good sign when the family black sheep drunkenly crashes a party by punching the guy dressed as a leprechaun. But things go from troublesome to fatal when Charlene stumbles upon a second brawl in an upper room—and this fight Connor Gallagher loses, his anonymous assailant rushing past Charlene, hidden by a hoodie. 
   
   
    
  Now Detective Sam Holden has another homicide on his hands, with Charlene as the only eyewitness. Even if she can't give the police sketch artist much to go on, Charlene is determined to ID the murderer, with the help of Dr. Jack Strathmore, the charming ghost who haunts her B&B. The answer lies in the motive, and to uncover that sleuth and spook will need to shine a light on Connor's shady past—before the killer pulls another Irish goodbye . . .
