Book Description

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.EMME Some cravings cannot be denied. That was me with CNC. Going to clubs didn't make me feel... anything anymore. I wanted a soul-wrenching, destructive encounter with a stranger. Being kept by someone... in a basement, or in a cage, like a bird or a treasured object? I could pretend, couldn't I? As long as we had a code, the beginning was SANE. That would be fine. All good. But when he didn't say THE word... THAT word. I wonder if he is just messing with me? Or is this real? HIM Who knew that one day I would do what I had fantasized about for years? Or that my best friend would insist on joining me. This is fun. Filthy. Darker than a grave with the hole filled in, except she isn't getting killed. I might keep her forever, though I'm not telling her that. Or that I'm not the man she arranged to meet. I open my door and study this precious creature I've caught, from her toes to those pretty, tear-filled eyes. This story has a HEA but for some that will not be enough. There are more triggers in this dark tale than stars in the sky.

If the books are right, Grace could be the savior Dove Pond desperately needs. The problem is, Grace wants little to do with the town or its quirky residents—Sarah chief among them.

Book Description

Meet the Matthews... before the next one dies It's no ordinary morning at the Poplars—the master is found dead in his bed, and it seems his high blood pressure was not the cause. When an autopsy reveals a sinister poison in his body, it's up to the quietly resourceful Inspector Hannasyde to catch the murderer in time to spare the next victim. But every single member of the quarrelsome Matthews family has a motive and none, of course, has an alibi. "The ingredients are so well and carefully mixed, the writing is so bright, and the solution so unexpected that the book achieves success and remains one no reader can fail to enjoy."—Manchester Guardian "A marvelous mélange of malice, murder, mystery, and mirth. Priceless!"—Saturday Review
