Summary

When Maddie accepts a part-time art teaching job in a quiet coastal town, she’s determined to leave her past behind. But on her first day, a lively little girl named Ivy captures her attention and something about her laugh, her bright eyes, the way she sketches feels unsettlingly familiar.
 
Noah, a widowed architect, is Ivy’s adoptive father. For seven years, he’s built a life around her pancake breakfasts, bedtime stories, and the steady love she deserves. What he doesn’t expect is the new art teacher, whose presence stirs emotions he thought had been buried with his grief.
 
As Maddie begins to realize the truth that Ivy is the daughter she gave up years ago Noah discovers a letter never meant for him. Suddenly, the past they’ve both avoided collides with the fragile connection forming between them.
 
Can they find healing in the child who ties their lives together, or will the truth pull them apart?

    This Werewolf alpha has found his destined mate … in the very last person he'd expect. 
    At thirty-five, Grayson Nox is the business manager for his werewolf pack. He's good at his job. Too bad he's not as successful at finding his destined mate. He'll know her by a distinctive birth mark, but he's getting tired of searching. 
    But the night Grayson finally sees his mark, it's not on a woman. It's on a gorgeous guy who wrecked his car near pack headquarters. Grayson brings the beguiling stranger home to heal … and to try and make sense of this strange twist of fate. 
    Medical student Reagan Forster has studied for ten years at University in Melbourne. At last he's ready to sit his final exams and head out into the world to heal people. But when he foolishly tries to drive home after a thirty-six-hour hospital shift, Reagan passes out behind the wheel. 
    He wakes in an unknown world, tucked away in the mountains of Greensborough, with the hottest guy he's ever met at his bedside. Their mating starts a fire hotter than either werewolf or man has ever known. 
    But they must make their relationship work against the backdrop of conflict, as Regan struggles to find his place in this new world, and the pack battles the Rogue werewolves who are a constant threat.

    I'm the nerdy reporter. He's the hotshot diver. We're complete opposites. There's no way this will ever work. 
     
     
     
    My entire life, I've had one dream. To be the best reporter I can be and tell stories that matter. When the opportunity to shadow an Olympian lands in my lap, I'm determined to rise to the occasion. But nothing can prepare me for Wes Cooper in all his glory. 
     
     
     
    Wes is the cocky athlete who has no interest in having a green reporter standing in his way. Or asking too many questions. Which is fine. I'm here to do my job, not be his friend. 
     
     
     
    But when he extends an olive branch, I start to rethink things. 
     
     
     
    There's clearly more to him than meets the eye. The more time I spend with him, the more I want to know. Professionally, of course. 
     
     
     
    Except when he looks at me like that, I feel all kinds of unprofessional things. 
     
     
     
    I'm a goner.

    Is blood truly thicker than water? 
    After the year she's had, Reverend Margot Quade is ready to spend New Years at a cozy bed and breakfast to recharge. The Lord has other ideas. The other guests are desperately in need of some pastoral counseling: a married couple at odds, a young woman with a dark secret and a solider headed off for a tour of duty. When the soldier, Private Parker, ends up dead, Margot can't help but investigate. 
    Without her usual crime fighting partner, Margot teams up with another amateur sleuth to find the truth. At first glance, no one seems like the obvious suspect and when Private Parker's belongings go missing, Margot suspects there's more to the young soldier than meets the eye. 
    As evidence points to one of the guests, Margot digs into the connections linking the victim and the potential killer. What she finds threatens to expose a deadly secret. One that could ruin more lives if not brought to light. 
    MY BROTHER'S KEEPER is the fourth book in this fast-paced, faith-filled series. The Reverend Margot Quade Cozy Mystery series is best enjoyed in order. You can begin the journey in book 1, Into the Lion's Den.

    A final case to remember … or not 
    When my succubus cat demands a trip to Coney Island for a fried delicacy known as Mermaid Tails, I blithely agree. What could go wrong? 
    A lot, as it turns out. The boardwalk vendors are mysteriously absent, a teenage fortune teller is spreading dire warnings, and one of my fondest childhood memories just tried to strangle me with powdered sugar. 
    Something supernatural is twisting the park’s joyful past into deadly threats, and I’ve tracked the source to a shuttered attraction. As if abandoned funhouses weren’t nightmarish enough, I may be facing a force beyond my magical abilities. 
    On the plus side (and size), Tabitha is finally motivated to help out. Her stomach insists. 
    The bad news? She believes fire fixes everything. 
    Croft & Tabby is a spinoff of the popular Prof Croft series, set before the main books. If you like snarky cats, fledgling mages, and supernatural investigations, you'll love Croft & Tabby!
