Summary

Description：
When Jade walks out of prison after three years, her younger sister Mia is waiting with a winter coat and an ancient ritual to ward off evil. But the cold wind carries more than just memories—it carries the scars of a past that nearly consumed them both. Mia owes Jade her life, rescued from a trash heap as an infant. Now, as adults bound by a debt deeper than blood, they must navigate a world that has moved on without them. Jade carries secrets: the identity of her daughter Bao's father, the truth about the fire that sent a man to his grave and her to prison, and the haunting legacy of her forced marriage to the brutal Victor. From the gritty streets of their hometown's red-light district to the fragile hope of a fresh start, this is a raw, emotional story of sisterhood, sacrifice, and the fierce, unbreakable love that can both save a life and demand the ultimate price. Can two women forged in trauma find peace, or will the embers of the past ignite once more?

Accepting This Vision As Fate Would Be My Ruin. 
I may be an immortal psychic, but having a vision that the Horseman of Death will rise and claim my soulmate’s life really puts a crimp in my style. I mean, I just got him back. 
Apollo has to know I’ll do everything in my power to stop it. 
But no matter what I do, I can’t seem to push my abilities to give me specifics. Each time I try, it’s like my energy is siphoned and it takes me days to get back on my feet. Neat-o. 
Add on top, we’re trying to keep the Gemini Twins, Colton and Cat, from self-destructing–or worse, getting taken by Sentinel. 
Unfortunately, my rag-tag team is having problems of their own, so they’re zero help. Everything around me is falling apart and I can’t let it happen. 
Come hell or high water, I will find a way to hold this group of misfits together–and good luck to anyone who tries to stand in my way.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or maybe a gin and tonic. 
Emily Hildebrandt has run into a bit of a rough patch. She’s lost her job, her fiance and her apartment. Still, she never expected to be desperate enough to accept an invitation to live with her eccentric Aunt Tilde in Redemption, Wisconsin. 
But, beggars can’t be choosers. Even if part of the deal is she has to pretend to work at her aunt’s latest hair-brained scheme, The Redemption Detective Agency. 
Seriously, the woman is a retired nurse. Why does she think she’s remotely qualified to run a detective agency, especially in a creepy little town like Redemption? 
But, when a strange phone call suddenly thrusts them into an actual case, Emily finds herself hoping her aunt really does know what she’s doing … or an innocent person may be the one to suffer the consequences.

The Redemption Detective Agency is a funny, twisty, romcom cozy mystery series set in the 1990s featuring silver sleuths solving cold cases, cats, dogs and an opposites attract love triangle.
