    Rainie Todd was a hot mess, the poster child for dysfunction; however, from the outside, she appeared beautiful, successful, and together. The last thing she wanted was a relationship. She’d been there and done that, and it didn’t end well. Dr. Michael Landry was a nice guy, someone to date as a friend for great dinners and the occasional cocktail party. He certainly didn’t give off any vibes that ignited her sexually, but he was a good friend; that was until the night of his company party when he turned up the heat, revealing a side of him she’d never seen, and she lusted with intrigue. He was perhaps the most sexually stimulating man she’d ever met. The icing on the cake- he was in love with her from the first time they met. 
    The relationship hinged on the truths behind their dark secrets. Rainie opened up to Michael about her ex-husband’s wanton affairs and how it had pushed her off the rails onto a twisted path of drugs, alcohol, and reckless behavior. One wrong decision after another landed her in the midst of a cartel drug operation, endangering everyone she loved. Of all her secrets, the one she held closest to her heart was Rand-her deceased twin, who still lived on from beyond the grave. Michael opened his heart, embraced her past challenges, and confided in his need for ultimate control and a past predilection for BDSM. Once they revealed their pasts, the doors opened for steamy interludes and a deep, forever kind of love.

    Lily Roberts pores over the clues in a piping hot new case when a confrontational celebrity chef is murdered at her Cape Cod tearoom during the filming of a popular baking show . . . 
     
     
      
    The country's hottest TV cooking show is coming to Cape Cod. Lily Roberts is entering America Bakes! with her charming tearoom, Tea by the Sea! Filming is already proving disruptive, closing the tearoom during Lily's busiest season. But tensions really bubble over when infamous bad-boy chef and celebrity judge, Tommy Greene, loses his temper with Lily's staff, resulting in an on-camera blowout with Cheryl Wainwright. Just as Lily thinks the competition can't get more bitter, Tommy is found dead in Tea by the Sea's kitchen . . . murdered with Cheryl's rolling pin. 
     
     
      
    Suspicion immediately falls on Cheryl, but the temperamental star has racked up plenty of culinary clashes in the past, both on- and off-screen. And nearly anyone associated with Tommy or the show could be the killer: be it one of Lily's fierce competitors, a member of the beleaguered film crew, or even one of Tommy's fellow judges—struggling cookbook maven, Claudia D'Angelo or beauty contest winner, Scarlet McIntosh. Now, while she's baking up a storm for the show, Lily must also whip up an impromptu investigation . . . before the murderer rolls someone else away.

    A thought-provoking mystery unfolds in a small coastal Dutch town after a host’s private party ends in murder.A French professor is staying in a coastal Dutch town while on a lecture tour—but when his host is murdered, he’s held for questioning as the prime suspect. Maigret’s assistance is requested, so he travels to the northeast of Holland, where he meets the attendees of a small private gathering the week before: Beetje, the coquettish daughter of a local farmer; Madame Popinga, the victim’s wife; Any Van Elst, her sister and a prospective lawyer; and Cornelius, a student at the Naval College; among a few others. While some are content blaming the outsider in their midst, Maigret senses something more enigmatic at play. Why does Conrad Popinga walk Beetje home every night she visits? What does the local crook Oosting know—and why was his cap found in the Popingas’ bathroom, one of the only rooms that overlooks the crime scene? In a town this small, Maigret knows its inhabitants know more than they claim.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
