About the book
Portland was supposed to be a quiet stop for Mystic Caravan, their last stop on the West Coast. Nothing ever goes as expected for Poet Parker, however.
On her first day in town, she sees a shadowy figure on a bridge, and that’s followed by a visit from local law enforcement the next morning. It seems women are going missing, but nobody knows what’s happening to them.
When Poet digs deeper, she finds another story. This one involves creepy kids in dated clothing harassing people in parks and supermarkets. The kids aren’t normal, however, and nobody appears to notice that they’re hanging out in places they don’t belong.
Poet does a deep dive on Portland’s history, but it doesn’t lead to answers. She has more questions than anything else.
Who are the kids? Why is nobody missing them? Where are the women? Are they tied to the kids?
And what’s going on in Portland’s old tunnel system, the one that was famous because of how many kidnapping victims were transported through it over the years?
Poet is determined to find out, even if the answers just might kill her.

About the book
Some killers want money. Some want power.
This one wants both… and leaves families butchered in his wake.
When Seattle's wealthiest families start turning up murdered inside their own homes, FBI Special Agent Jane Cannon is called in to hunt a killer with a taste for spectacle. The victims are staged. Their fortunes are stripped away. Their children are slaughtered. And somehow, the household pets keep disappearing.
What begins as a string of savage home invasions quickly unravels into something far more sinister. A secret network of power brokers. Stolen financial secrets. And a conspiracy guarded by blood.
The deeper Jane digs, the clearer the truth becomes: these murders aren't random. They're targeted. Calculated. And tied to a man she knows is far more dangerous than anyone realizes.
August Kaminski.
To stop the killing, Jane will have to outmaneuver a mastermind who thrives in the shadows and a butcher who enjoys every second of the work. But in a world where money buys silence and loyalty is always for sale, getting to the truth may cost her everything.
Some secrets are buried in ledgers. Others are written in blood.

About the book
Katherine Center's The Bodyguard is “My perfect 10 of a book. As funny and sweet as all the very best nineties rom-coms, but with Center’s signature heart-tugging depth. I wish I could erase it from my mind just to read it again for the first time. A shot of pure joy.”—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers
She’s got his back.
Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka "bodyguard"), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker.
He’s got her heart.
Jack Stapleton’s a household name—captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid.
They’ve got a secret.
When Jack’s mom gets sick, he goes home to the family’s Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah—against her will and her better judgment—finds herself pretending to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover. Even though her ex, says no one will believe it.
What could possibly go wrong?
Hannah hardly believes it, herself. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. And there lies the heartbreak. Because it’s easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That’s the hardest thing she’s ever done.

About the book
A detective's fall from grace. A rookie's baptism by fire. A town's secrets laid bare.
“…reads like the real deal—a tale of trial and redemption…”—Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries
In the unforgiving wilderness of Maine, a disgraced detective must confront his past to solve a chilling murder.
Detective Brock Justice's career is on thin ice. Once the golden boy of Maine State Police, Brock now finds himself exiled to the remote northeastern wilderness, punishment for crossing the thin blue line. Assigned to the Major Crimes Unit—North, he suffers the added indignity of partnering with newly-minted Detective Chloe Wright, a rookie with her own hidden struggles.

Even as the case exposes the darkest corners of the town, their fragile partnership threatens to undermine the investigation at every turn.

With each revelation, the line between ally and enemy blurs, compelling Brock and Chloe to question their trust in everyone around them, including each other.
Even as winter's icy grip loosens from Blue Hill, the noose of suspicion tightens. Brock must navigate not only a shaky partnership and a town harboring deadly secrets, but also the shadows of his own past. Can he and Chloe piece together the puzzle before Maine's wilderness swallows them whole?
Retired Detective Sergeant Bruce Robert Coffin delivers a masterful blend of police procedural and small-town intrigue in this page-turning thriller. Perfect for fans of Craig Johnson's Longmire series and C.J. Box's Joe Pickett novels.
