The Golden Calf is a Victorian novel of ambition, class conflict, and moral temptation. Ida Palliser, a poor but gifted young woman at a harsh boarding school, longs to escape poverty and claim a brighter future. Torn between pride, independence, and the lure of wealth, she seeks advancement through talent and marriage. Braddon explores the corrupting power of money, the cruelty of social hierarchy, and the difficult choices faced by women striving for security and self-worth.

    Too many cooks spoil the stew! 
    The Irish stew at O’Brien’s pub in Ballydehag is a Friday night favorite—until several people get sick and terrible reviews bubble to the surface on social media. Publican and chef Sean O’Grady is horrified, but when one of his customers dies after eating the stew, he realizes he has more than poisonous reviews to worry about. Was Sean the only one who added ingredients to the simmering pot—or does someone have a taste for murder? 
    Witch Quinn Callahan has her hands full with some new and disturbing residents of Ballydehag. The fortune-hunting Leprechauns aren’t as cute as her childhood cereal led her to imagine. And there are a couple of American visitors staying at the local B&B who look a lot like mobsters. Most important of all—can she find out who has been stirring the pot over at O’Brien’s? 
    This picture-perfect Irish village is hiding dark deeds, and it’s up to Quinn and her late-night Vampire Book Club to clear Sean O’Grady’s name before someone decides that death needs a second helping.

    Missing twin sisters. A chilling revelation. Will this be the case that breaks the Cold Case Squad? 
    Twenty years earlier, a set of female eighteen-year-old twins went missing in the Bay Area. There were no news reports or national coverage. The original investigators had barely touched the case, and like so many other cases of missing teens, were quickly labeled runaways, and the file sat on the shelf. Baffled by the lack of attention for the sisters, Martina insists it will be Hirsch and the Cold Case Squad’s next case. 
    Undeterred by the lack of prior research, the team dives into the case, employing methods of investigation and forensic technology not available twenty years earlier. This could be the case where time is actually on their side. When the team catches their first big break, the discovery of one sister’s remains and a lead on the second, they shift the case from missing persons to homicide. 
    With the news, Martina and Hirsch dig deeper into the women’s lives before they disappeared. With a no-stone-unturned approach and DNA results back from the lab, they soon find a shocking connection to one of their own. Concerned the information could jeopardize getting justice for the victims’ family, Martina and Hirsch now must work in the shadows in order to find answers to what happened all those years ago. 
    Will Martina and Hirsch be able to expose the truth without endangering themselves, their jobs, and the future of the Cold Case Squad? 
    How She Fell is the 7th installment of the twisty, fast-paced Martina Monroe crime thriller series.

    I'm stunned to learn my family's “inheritance” is servitude to an ancient, arrogant vampire. No thanks! Except now my friend might be his next meal, so I cut a deal: I’ll work for him—if he only drains the serial killers we catch. 
    I met my father exactly once—at a café in Transylvania. He went by the name "Renfield," scribbled in strange ledgers and muttered weirdly about “the master.” 
    Years later, I’m summoned to a remote castle in the Carpathian Mountains. Supposedly my father has left an inheritance.   
    What could go wrong? 
    Try everything. My “inheritance” turns out to be a new career—or should I say forced servitude: I'm to take over for my father as the next in a long line of servants to an arrogant, centuries-old vampire named Alexandru. 
    Hard pass. 
    Except Alexandru doesn’t take no for an answer. He follows me home to Ohio, where people I love are looking like dinner to him. To save them, I cut a deal: I’ll manage his vampire affairs—if he only feeds on people who deserve it.  
    Serial killers, to be exact. 
    Now my spreadsheets and his hunting skills have one goal: catch murderers before Alexandru loses control. 
    But surviving the killer might be the easy part, because even though Alexandru is a monster who sees humans as livestock, nothing in my life has prepared me for his dark magnetism...
