Raine masterfully weaves a tale that hinges on themes of loyalty, love, and redemption, utilizing a vivid, descriptive prose style that immerses the reader in the vibrant landscapes and perilous situations of frontier life. The novel encapsulates the broader literary context of early 20th-century American Westerns, balancing action with introspective character development, and illustrating the struggle between civilization and the untamed wilderness.

    For Charlie and her niece Katie, it’s supposed to be a quiet holiday in the peaceful, out-of-the-way seaside town of Hithechurch, England. Charlie is researching a book on the folklore of the area, and the gloomy sea and dangerous caves seem to offer up plenty of material, while Katie is just there to run wild and get some fresh air. But Charlie’s research reveals a deeper, darker secret, one that uncovers her own carefully hidden past. Young women are going missing again: a teenage girl snatched from the beach in broad daylight, and before that, other girls through the decades have vanished from the area, their families left with no answers and no bodies to bury. Charlie’s creation was a thing of felt, straw, fury, and a rusty pair of scissors in the dark. It couldn’t be her monster. Could it? Set on discovering the truth about the girls’ disappearances, she’s about to encounter a force of pure, obsessive malevolence that threatens to destroy anything in its path. Exploring the fine line where supernatural ends and real human monstrosity begins, Games for Dead Girls is a haunting, dark novel from award-winning author Jen Williams.

    A bundle of books #1 (A KILLER CUPCAKE), #2 (A MURDEROUS MACARON), and #3 (A PERILOUS CAKE POP) in Fiona Grace’s Beachfront Bakery cozy mystery series. This bundle offers books one, two, and three in one convenient file, with over 150,000 words of reading.
    
    In A KILLER CUPCAKE (Book #1), Allison Sweet, 34, a sous chef in Los Angeles, has had it up to here with demeaning customers, her demanding boss, and her failed love life. After a shocking incident, she realizes the time has come to start life fresh and follow her lifelong dream of moving to a small town and opening a bakery of her own. When Allison spots a charming, vacant storefront on the boardwalk near Venice, she wonders if she could really start life anew. Feeling like it’s a sign, and a time to take a chance in life, she goes for it. Yet Allison did not anticipate the wild ride ahead of her: the boardwalk, filled with fun and outrageous characters, is pulsing with life, from the Italian pizzeria owners on either side of her who vie for her affection, to the fortune tellers and scheming rival bakery owner nearby. Allison yearns to just focus on her delicious new pastry recipes and keep her struggling bakery afloat—but when a murder occurs right near her shop, everything changes. Implicated, her entire future at stake, Allison has no choice but to investigate to clear her name. As an orphaned dog wanders into her life, a devoted new sidekick with a knack for solving mysteries, she starts her search. Will they find the killer? And can her struggling bakery survive?
    
    In A MURDEROUS MACARON (Book #2), a rude tourist dies after eating his way up and down the boardwalk, and all eyes fall on Allison, as the police blame her new macarons. The macarons have a secret ingredient that is so delicious it has customers lining up and down the boardwalk—but they are not, she knows, the cause of death. Allison, forced to clear her name and salvage her customers, has no choice but to retrace the victim’s foodie trek up and down the boardwalk, and to figure out what he ate—or who he insulted—that could have gotten him killed. With her beloved dog at her side, it is a race against time to crack the mystery and solve the crime before she loses her bakery—and her budding romance—for good.
    
    In A PERILOUS CAKE POP (Book #3), after a popular food critic trashes Allison’s bakery, he ends up dead—and suspicion falls on her. With business failing, Allison’s only hope is to solve the crime and clear her name. But it’s not so simple: the dead critic infuriated a long line of people, and any of them could have gladly killed him. Will Allison—and her beloved dog—be able to solve the seemingly impossible case in time?
    
    A hilarious cozy mystery series, packed with twists, turns, romance, travel, food and unexpected adventure, the BEACHFRONT BAKERY series will keep you laughing and turning pages late into the night as you fall in love with an endearing new character who will capture your heart.

    Coach Hudson Arrows wants to sweep Piper off her feet, the fact she's his niece's best friend? May just send him into overtime. 
     
     
     
    A scorching one-night stand with a stranger was supposed to be my night of adventure to enjoy and move on. I didn't expect that a few weeks later my friend would introduce said stranger as the man walking her down the aisle because he's her godfather and uncle. And I certainly didn't expect him to be a famous football coach who insists I escape with him to his small town lake house for a rendezvous. He may be old enough to be my dad, but the man's charisma is a winning touchdown straight to my lust-filled mind that agrees. 
     
     
     
    We keep our relationship a secret. 
     
     
     
    It doesn't take long for me to realize that there is more to Hudson than his dirty talking mouth and his persistence that I may be what he's been waiting for. What we have turns into something I didn't bargain for. But I'm not blinded by what is at stake once the world finds out about us. And I'm not sure if it's Hudson or me trying to convince us more, that together, we may just be worth the risk . . . 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
