West Coast Forensics Series

Real Trouble

Who knew starting over would lead them right back to the beginning?

Soren Jorgensen has just one regret – getting involved with bad boy Dany Petyr. To be fair, Dany had warned him, but Soren let his heart take the lead and he’ll never be the same.

A new job in a new town offers him the chance to start over. He won’t make the same mistake again.

All is well. Until Dany shows up and turns Soren’s tidy world upside down.

Dany’s only regret is walking away from Soren. But, if he could go back in time he knows he’d make the same decision, his history is too toxic for a man like Soren. Piedras is the perfect place for Dany to hide out, until–well, possibly forever.

When a local man is murdered, tensions on Piedras rise and accusations fly. Will Dany run again, or can Soren convince him to stay this time and face the danger head-on, together?

“Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Dramatic, exciting and suspenseful. A great book that you can’t put down, at least I couldn’t. Shay, his attraction to Ryder is something he fought, Ryder, his attraction to Shay is something is very obviously announced. Their journey is fun, their adventure is breath holding and their HEA is celebratory. This story had some twists that surprised me, pleasingly. A terrific reading that is very much worth the time. You won’t be disappointed!” ★★★★★

“The romance element of the plot is perfectly balanced with the mystery element and wow, did that have some twists and turns that I didn’t predict. Overall a very interesting and engaging read with a great cast of characters, a dash of angst – mystery related not romance related – and an ending that made me feel so very happy. I look forward to more in this series.” ★★★★1/2 stars

Real Risk

It’s possible they’re a match but first the two men will have to survive trial by fire.

Chief Flynn is fighting smoke and flames, tirelessly protecting the lives and property of fellow islanders from yet another spate of fires.

Arson or accident?

When injury puts him on the sidelines, West Coast Forensics Arson Investigator Kimball Frye offers his assistance. Frye is The Most Irritating Man in the World, a condescending know-it-all who rubs Devon the wrong way.

Or does he?

Decades ago an arsonist stole his family from him since then Frye has devoted his life to putting them behind bars. At forty-nine, he doesn’t believe in permanent relationships, instead preferring the company of interchangeable younger men.

Is the arsonist trying to shift the blame onto Devon, or trying to kill him? If it’s the latter it just might work.

Feeling the pull of attraction to Devon as the firebug grows bolder is inconvenient. Will Kimball listen to his heart or his head? The younger men he’s always preferred are nothing like the solid, stalwart Fire Chief.

Real Hazard

They’re not looking for love, but it finds them anyway. Can two very different men find common ground and claim a future… together?

Dutch

This is all Hazel’s fault. Hazel the Hazard.

✓ Hazel made me come to first grade safety day.

✓ Hazel blurted out—loudly—about the beautiful fireman.

✓ Hazel invited the beautiful fireman over for a party.

I swear I’m not gay, but Foster Jennings is the most beautiful man I’ve ever met, outside and in.

Dutch is the single dad of a precocious daughter. He moved to Piedras wanting a better life for Hazel and himself. Things are shaping up, he’s landed a permanent job at Brooch Resort and Hazel has quit having nightmares that someone is going to steal her away.

Then everything goes sideways, Dutch’s past threatens his future and he doesn’t know where to turn.

The Real Thing

Not all knights wear armor. Some wear coveralls and carry a big wrench.

An oblivious prince longs for his knight in shining armor. His knight has been under his nose all along, will he claim him before it’s too late for them both?

As deeply as he craves his own fairy tale happily-ever-after, resort owner Cody Prescott doesn’t have time for a relationship. That doesn’t stop him from crushing on most men on Piedras. Luckily for him, they’re emotionally unavailable or already taken, so he doesn’t have to worry about getting attached.

Wade Buckner, the island’s handiest handyman, is tired of waiting for Cody to wake up and realize Wade is the man for the job. He’s ready and willing to rescue Cody from just about anything, even questionable hotel guests.

The Harvest Feast is the kick-off for the resort’s one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary and they have a full house. But something sinister is afoot at the resort, something that even his knight might not be able to rescue Cody from.

Are they trying to kill him, put him out of business, or both?
