    In the idyllic English town of Shepton Rise, drama is a way of life for Ginny Fellows—but usually, it stays on stage. As a theatrical agent for the Dead Actors, a lively troupe of performers known for their memorable on-screen demises, Ginny is well-versed in the art of make-believe. But when a real-life murder darkens the curtains of Shepton Rise, Ginny must take center stage as an unlikely sleuth.

The plot thickens as Ginny discovers that almost anyone in the group might have had a motive for murder. Yet Ginny has her own challenges to face—crippling panic attacks make it nearly impossible for her to leave the safety of her home. 
    With the steadfast support of her eccentric clients, the Dead Actors, and her devoted friend Adam, Ginny must summon the courage to step into the spotlight and untangle a web of lies and deception. 
    A delightful whodunit brimming with wit, charm, and theatrical flair, Murder in the Wings is a cozy mystery that proves all the world’s a stage—and the stakes have never been higher.

    Minerva Peabody needs a man. Unfortunately she picked the wrong one. The impoverished playwright has a dream to see her plays performed on stage but in Elizabethan England, not only are women considered the inferior sex, they simply do NOT write plays.

But when he does, he gets under her skin in the most alarming way.

But when his mission threatens to destroy Min's fledgling career, he must make a choice: protect his family or the woman he has grown to love. Either choice will see him lose something precious.

    My dream? Escape this hellhole and become a songwriter in L.A. My reality? My scumbag father emptied my bank account and bet me in a poker game. 
     
     
     
    Not just to anyone—but to Radomir Molchanov. The King of Vegas. The sinfully drop-dead gorgeous owner of the Diamond Hotel and Casino. Oh, and the cold-blooded head of the Molchanov Bratva. 
     
     
     
    Radomir has claimed me—body and soul. His touch sets me on fire, his icy gaze sends shivers down my spine, and his cruel smirk reminds me that he owns me. 
     
     
     
    For the past decade, Radomir and his ruthless cousins have been hunting the woman they believe murdered his father and uncle—the elusive Greek Matriarch. 
     
     
     
    If my problems weren't bad enough, here's the kicker: A decade ago, I lost my memory. My past is a blank slate, haunted by nightmares of a monster with icy-blue eyes. Now, that I'm living in Radomir's world, those memories are clawing their way back—and the truth is not just dark, it's deadly—for me! 
     
     
     
    If Radomir finds out who I really am, he'll kill me. But I have one chance to survive. 
     
     
     
    The Bratva code is clear: death to anyone who kills their own. My only chance? The hope of a baby growing in my belly. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
