Grave New World

A Jane Ladling Mystery

Jane Ladling cordially invites you to the world’s most romantic wedding. But first, there’s a few items to check off her to-do list.

• Actually plan the festivities
• Find a way to pay for said festivities
• Avoid finding a dead body. OOPS! Solve a murder

As the owner of a landlocked cemetery and self-proclaimed expert amateur sleuth, Jane knows death inside and out. After receiving an invite to speak at a local writer’s club, she discovers a dead body upon arrival, plus an invitation from the killer.

Player one is ready. Are you?

Now the game is on!

With a newly elected (smoking hot) sheriff who doubles as her overprotective fiancé, a gaggle of enabling best friends, and a lovingly vicious guardcat at her side, the intrepid Jane has no doubt she’ll win. But as clues lead everywhere and nowhere at once, another victim is discovered, and an ancient family curse rears its ugly head. Jane realizes she’s caught in a battle between cat and mouse. To succeed, she’ll have to lay a trap of her own…

Out Now!

Sworn Instinct

Sworn Series

Science doesn’t always have to be serious.

Anthropologist Ava Simms is an expert in the art of seduction–hypothetically. Theory and reality are two different things. When she’s given the chance to write a book on all she knows, she quickly discovers she needs hands-on practice.

Reluctant ghostwriter Ian Cole is hired to help Ava streamline her ideas–on paper. He has his own projects to pursue and fixing someone else’s isn’t in his plans, but he owes a favor. He expects to work with a stodgy professor, not a knockout wearing little more than body paint, who sets him aflame. Sign him up for overtime.

Their instant heat is unprofessional, inconvenient…and irresistible. Ian wants Ava and Ava wants Ian. Why argue with biology? Especially when they share the same desire: pleasure on the job, no commitment.

Except what happens when the book is done and they both want more? One thing about fire–if you’re not careful, it burns.

Author’s Note: This book was originally published as Primal Instincts–now refreshed with new scenes!
