  It was his responsibility to fight for those who could not fight, punish those who needed punishing, and righting the world of all the wrongs—to Captain Vicarelli, that was his mission even out of the Corps. Once separated from the Marines, he took his mission to his home, New Orleans, rife with murder, rape, and crime. The Corps had trained him and trained him well. He was a skillful killing machine of unusual propensity. 
  There was nothing average about the man; he stood six-five and was a wall of powerful, rippling muscle. Honorably discharged, with unwritten speculation of PTSD from the psych community, the Marine pursued the life of a civilian. It wasn’t his fault that there was crime around every corner, but he took his mission to heart, protecting, punishing, and eliminating the threats. 
  Trinity was his one weakness. His entire essence craved her tight little body full of sexy energy. Her caramel-colored skin, waist-length black hair, and cat-like ebony eyes lit an unquenchable fire in his body and soul. If fate were a friend, she would be his woman one day. Night after night, he sat at the end of Louie’s Tap mahogany bar, sipping on his two-finger pour of Glenlivet and watching as she swayed to the background music while mixing libations for the clientele.

  Good Witches, Good Magic and Good Food make good company! 
  Dead billionaires are not good for business! That's what Aunt Pearl complains to Cen when the dead body is found in the cozy family inn at Westwick Corners. 
  Still, it's not Cen's problem. She lives an ordinary life away from her witch-ful family for a reason. She got her ordinary fiancé and her ordinary job as a journalist using no magic whatsoever, and no inconvenient local murder is going to change her comfortable existence. 
  Even if the entire town is now accusing Aunt Pearl of murdering her guest. Even if her fiancé is acting weird and talking about seeing ghosts. Even if the town's sexy new sheriff, Tyler Gates, treats her like the most hexing of all the witches... 
  "...A bewitching, supernatural treat. If you love witch cozy mysteries you'll love Cendrine West and her wacky witch family!" 
  Westwick Corners isn't your typical small town. Or even a normal ghost town. It's where people go not to be found, and witches go to work their magic in secret. The combination makes for some interesting and humorous mysteries, and the witches are always at the center of the action! 
  Ruby's cooking, Cendrine's amateur sleuth and investigator activities, and Aunt Pearl's magic school need that one secret ingredient to propel the witches to fame and fortune and put the town back on the map. The witches are forever cooking up new business opportunities like The Westwick Corners Inn, The Witching Post Bar and Grill, and of course, Pearl's Charm School, where witches unravel riddles, spin magic spells, and create their own witch mysteries. Too bad they are forever getting distracted! If you like to unlock a mystery and laugh out loud, you'll love these witch mysteries!

  Four years ago, a young heiress survived an attack that claimed the lives of both her parents. The crime made headlines all over Los Angeles, both for the vicious nature of the killings and the seemingly random nature of the attack: nothing was stolen, and the van Aust family had no obvious enemies. Melia van Aust fled the city soon after the murders—which were never solved—but her brother Jasper has not been seen since. After a childhood spent in the shadow of her famous parents, Rainey Hall understands dysfunctional families. She still hasn’t recovered from a tragedy that tore her own family apart six years earlier. It's part of why she started her own private investigation agency—to aid victims of crimes that might otherwise go unsolved. When Melia returns to LA and moves back into her family home, someone begins sending her increasingly violent messages that allude to her parents' murders. She hires Rainey to track down the culprit and find her missing brother. Touched by their similarities, Rainey feels compelled to protect Melia, even as their relationship becomes more than professional. Soon, Rainey finds herself falling down the rabbit hole of Melia’s life. Her quest to find Melia’s stalker will bring her in contact with disgraced royals, seedy neighbors, violent ex-boyfriends, and former staff—each one with their own secrets. As the threats against Melia escalate and the two women are drawn together, it’s only a matter of time before another victim turns up...
