    Love is the beginning of everything. And the end. 
    Haunted by dreams of the boy whose life she shattered and burdened by dark family secrets she's only just begun to understand, Private Investigator Winter Black is trying to keep her life from falling apart. With her husband on a yearlong break from the FBI, the bills are piling up, and Winter has no choice but to take on even the most mundane cases. Serving a summons should be easy. 
    Until the man she served is found dead the next day. His wife too. 
    The man, a local appliance store owner, faced financial ruin pending the legal case, leading authorities to suspect a murder-suicide. Winter doesn’t buy that he killed himself or his wife. In fact, she’d seen the anticipation in his eyes as they packed for a vacation together—hardly the behavior of a man about to end it all. When the employee behind the lawsuit goes missing, Winter is convinced. 
    Someone murdered the couple. But who? 
    As she digs deeper, the bodies start to pile up. People connected to the case are being picked off one by one, and Winter can’t shake the feeling that she’s getting closer to something dangerous—something that wants to stay hidden. Someone’s playing a twisted game, and Winter’s caught right in the middle. 
    With a target on her back. 
    The mystery and suspense continue with Winter’s Snare, the heart-stopping sixth book in the Winter Black Season Two series. It’s a reminder that love endures all things. Except murder.

    🧵 Vintage sewing machine repair shop owner and mechanic Stella Stitch is preparing for the annual Quilt Show when the show's wealthy patron—a notorious fast-fashion mogul—is found dead in her workshop, electrocuted by a sabotaged antique sewing machine from her own collection. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Stella notices the machine has been deliberately rewired and the victim's final garment contains hidden messages in the stitching patterns. With her repair business under investigation and the sewing community divided, Stella must thread together an investigation as complex as a sewing machine's inner workings. Assisted by her sewing guild and the handsome electrical engineer who admires her vintage machine collection, Stella uncovers a scheme involving machine theft, industrial espionage, and a plot to destroy small sewing businesses. From suspicious bobbin tension that reveals tampering to stitch patterns that don't match the machine's capabilities, every mechanical detail tells a story. But when Stella discovers the victim was systematically putting local tailors out of business to acquire their vintage machine collections, she realizes the killer is protecting a community more tightly woven than any fabric. With the quilt show approaching and the real saboteur still operating, Stella must piece together the truth before her own machine gets permanently unplugged.
