Say You Remember Me - A Fake...

Judy Corry

She’s everything he wants… and the one woman he can’t have. 
Maddie thought her spontaneous kiss with a gorgeous stranger at an exclusive club was just that—a momentary spark with a man she’d never see again. 
But when she arrives at her new job the next Monday, she’s stunned to find that her mystery man is actually Ian Hastings, her new boss…and their chemistry is far from a one-time thing. 
Ian is captivated by Maddie, the small-town single-mom who just became his assistant, but he’s determined to keep their relationship strictly professional. 
Yet resisting her is harder than he imagined, and keeping his hands to himself soon becomes impossible when a familiar face from his past forces him to ask Maddie for an unexpected favor. 
A fake engagement. 
To deflect his ex’s advances—and avoid unwanted rumors at a high-profile summit—Ian suggests they pretend to be a couple. But it isn’t long before their staged romance blurs into real feelings and Maddie and Ian find themselves tangled in a game of longing, secrets, and unexpected passion. 
But when old wounds and hidden truths threaten to break through their careful façade, will they be willing to risk everything to turn this fake relationship into a real one? 
SAY YOU REMEMBER ME is a slow-burn romance with swoon-worthy tension, unforgettable first encounters, and a dash of scandal. It's book two in the Kings of Eden Falls series but can be read as a standalone.

When victims are found stung to death by a deadly breed of hornet, FBI forensic examiner and entomologist Fiona Red sees the pattern of a killer.

LET HER HIDE is book #7 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.

Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having run a funeral parlor, and she would have run the family business if not for a tragedy in her past: her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.

Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.

With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.

But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.

A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
