Synopsis

I walked to the newspaper-wrapped bundle, looked at the mud smears on it—and at another brown stain. Then I gripped a corner of the paper and unwrapped it from the thing inside.
 
I didn’t know what it was at first. But two minutes later, using the phone in a nearby house, I was talking to my good friend, Phil Samson, Captain of Central-Homicide. “Sam, this is Shell. Get somebody out here on Chavez Ravine Road. I think I’ve found a—a leg.”

    Two hearts. One dangerous deception. A love worth fighting for. 
    Charlotte Edgewood is no ordinary heiress. With a mind for business and a spirit too independent for London society, she's resigned herself to spinsterhood—until her younger sister is targeted by the manipulative Lord Hargrove. Desperate to protect Amelia from a loveless marriage to a dangerous man, Charlotte will risk anything, even her reputation. 
    William Sears came to London to establish his American shipping company, not to fall in love. When he catches Charlotte breaking into his warehouse, he's intrigued by her intelligence and courage. With evidence suggesting Lord Hargrove is using their businesses for smuggling operations, William proposes an audacious solution: a false courtship that will give them both access to the information they need. 
    As they navigate elaborate balls and clandestine investigations, their pretend romance awakens feelings neither expected. But when their scheme unravels at the docks, William must make an impossible choice between protecting Charlotte's reputation and preserving his own. With Charlotte kidnapped and bound for Gretna Green against her will, William races against time to rescue the woman who has captured his heart. 
    Set in the glittering ballrooms and dangerous docks of Regency London, An Heiress Worth Rescuing combines the intrigue of smuggling operations with the passion of unexpected love. This thrilling fifth installment in the American Heiress Series can be enjoyed as a standalone romance.

    A murder so brutal, only a monster could have committed it. The accused had no motive. But there’s a mountain of evidence against him. 
    A decorated war hero, Ty Chapman has built his dream life in the quiet lakeside community of Delphi, Michigan. He has a beautiful wife. A baby on the way. Everything to live for. He’s the last person anyone would suspect of beating a local handyman to death behind a seedy motel. But when two credible witnesses see him running from the crime scene, hands bloodied, the police believe they have him cold. 
    There has to be a reason for the killing. But the prime suspect won’t talk. Not even to his lawyer. 
    Cass Leary is Delphi’s top defense attorney. In Ty Chapman, she’s finally got a client who can afford her. Only Ty goes mute anytime she tries to get his side of the story. All she has is a parade of character witnesses who swear Ty isn’t capable of such a heinous act. 
    The more Cass delves into the mystery, the more questions she has about the victim. Only most of what she learns is inadmissible in court and Ty still won’t tell her what really happened in those woods. If that weren’t enough, Cass gets a call that her former mob boss has gone missing and the FBI thinks she’s the key to finding him. Their timing couldn’t be worse as Cass heads into the courtroom to argue for Ty Chapman’s future. 
    Will Cass’s fight win her client’s freedom or expose an even more shocking truth? 
    Cold Evidence is the stunning tenth book in the Cass Leary legal thriller series. You'll be guessing until the very last minute. Voiced by Earphones-Award-Winning narrator Teri Clark-Linden, this is the perfect series for fans of Grisham, Turow, and Connelly who like strong, female protagonists with plot twists you'll never see coming.
