  Detective Daniel Swann and debutante Juliette Thorndike once again team up to solve a dangerous mystery—while trying to keep their growing romance secret. 
   
   
   
  Someone is preying upon the street children of Regency London. They seem to think no one will notice when urchins go missing—and even if they are noticed, who will care? Daniel needs to do something about the missing children. But with recent revelations about his past and an unexpected, somewhat unwelcome inheritance to deal with, this is a terrible time to dive back into the seedy underbelly of the crime world. Nevertheless, he's still a Bow Street runner, and his partner Lady Juliette is sensitive to the plight of these wayward youngsters. They're on the case, searching shadowed alleys and coal-drenched streets to find the missing. 
   
   
   
  But the tangle of expectation and the dynamics of power cannot be easily ignored, even if there are children in danger. When Daniel's past threatens to overwhelm his future, he will need a miracle and the help of his friends to both apprehend the villain and unravel his tangled family web. And it may be that his new responsibilities demand that he leave the children of the shadows to their terrible fate—or lose everything.

  “Edgy anticipation, compelling characters, and a winding path of justice,” wrote Readers’ Favorite Professional Reviews. “Woven within this excellently written book are humor and intense love.” 
  "Born of my torment, a plan conceived: daring, dastardly, and a touch divine, a frantic clutch at fate's unruly ruffs, that the great black hole of despair might not swallow me whole.” 
  Twelve years after his disappearance, Jack Sutton is spotted jogging through a park. Tortured by questions of Jack's unknown fate, Camden Slade—the girl he left behind—takes a turn for the reckless, and she conceives a plan to discover what happened to Jack. With the help of two friends and a hired hand, Camden sets her strategy in motion. It's a plan that requires her full arsenal of skills as a fraud examiner and turns the tables in her favor. When things start to fall apart, Camden finds herself scrambling to avoid detection and hide her wrongdoings. When she is finally allowed to ask the long-awaited questions of her heart, will she be prepared for the answers she receives or be able to face the soul-altering savagery of what she has done?

  Reapers Creepers. 
   
  Fresh off my Voodoo-tastic vacation to New Orleans, I find myself presented with the first test of my newly discovered magic. There’s been a murder in the neighboring town of Pine Shoals and the victim has decided she’s not cut out for the spectral life and needs a gentle push into the Otherworld. 
   
  As it turns out, conjuring some magic and telling a ghost to ‘go towards the light’ isn’t quite good enough, and now the hysterical ghost is stuck in some kind of limbo land. 
   
  It’s up to me to solve her murder before the poor ghost goes insane—or, becomes demon food. Whichever happens first.
