A witty and revealing roman a clef about a woman who finally gets her dream job in book publishing only to realize she's working for the industry tyrant, in trade for the first time. In a New York minute, Claire Truman lands both a plum position at a top publishing house and the man she's wanted for ten years...then reality intervenes.

It doesn't help that she's working late nights with a brilliant-and handsome-first-time author. As Vivian's outrageous demands continue to escalate, Claire wonders if she likes where the fast track is taking her-and worries about what she might turn into...

The hotel was her refuge, but scandal is afoot—and a killer stalks the halls in this charming series debut perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Ashley Weaver. It’s 1958 and Evelyn Elizabeth Grace Murphy has not left the Pinnacle Hotel in fourteen months. She suffers from agoraphobia, and what’s more, it’s her father’s hotel, and everything she needs is there. Evelyn’s always been good at finding things, she discovered her mother dead in a Manhattan alleyway fifteen years earlier. Now she’s finding trouble inside her sanctuary. At a party for artist Billie Bell, his newest work is stolen, and Evelyn’s fake boyfriend (and real best friend), movie star Henry Fox, is accused of the theft. But just as Evelyn sets out to prove Henry’s innocence, she finds Billie Bell dead. The murder weapon links the crime to the hotel’s chief of security. But why would he use a knife with his initials on the handle? With her beloved home in disarray, Evelyn joins up with hotel employee (and her secret crush) Mac Cooper to get to the bottom of the case. As Mac picks locks and Evelyn snoops around the hotel, they discover the walls around them contain more secrets than they previously knew. Now, Evelyn must force herself to leave the hotel to follow the clues—but when she and Mac set off to chase a lead, their car crashes and they barely escape with their lives. Someone snipped Evelyn’s brake lines, and now the stakes have become dangerously high. Evelyn’s knack for sleuthing—and her playful imagination—are always hard at work, and she throws an elaborate party at the hotel where every guest is a suspect. But will the killer emerge from the glamorous lineup? If not, Evelyn just might find herself…next in line for murder.

Mattie Holbrook has an easy life. She lives with her brother and sister in Bighorn, Texas, where her father works as a judge, a man known for his fairness in dealing with outlaws and criminals, doling out justice that suited almost everyone involved. When her socialite sister is abducted at a party thrown in his honor, instead of telling her parents what’s happened, Mattie sets off on a journey of her own, accompanied by her loving and devoted brother Franklin to find their stolen sister. Dylan Sullivan and his business partner, Luke Turner, are just trying to find the money to start their own magazine for men, espousing all the wonderful traits of men while exploring why the female of the species is so inept. It doesn’t take long after he meets Mattie Holbrook for Daniel to begin to question his chauvinistic ways. Dylan and Luke join Mattie and Franklin in the search for Lauren, at time confused to be dealing with bandits that seem to change their plans frequently – if they have plans at all. Dylan suspects they are making things up as they go along, with no real end in sight. Will he and Mattie rescue Lauren without coming up against each other in conflicts of their beliefs? Or will love win the day, creating a different world for everyone involved?
