Once upon a time in La-La-Land… When theme park princesses start vanishing, a free-spirited P.I. goes undercover and finds her prince: a cautious ex-military spy who'd rather be left alone.
Fired from her job, Allie Kincade has a house in escrow, an eviction notice from her landlord, and nothing in the bank. So when she’s offered an insanely large paycheck to dress up as a princess and find three women who’ve gone missing from their jobs as costume characters at GrimmLand, she jumps at the chance. But the park isn’t all it seems: Deep in the SoCal desert, it’s owned by the king of an obscure European country, and the attractions are based on the Grimm brothers’ goriest folktales. Plus, Allie’s new boss clearly wishes she’d never been hired.
As head of GrimmLand security, buttoned-down Matt Wilcox is convinced the princesses - all out-of-work actresses - simply found better gigs and "forgot" to quit. But he owes his life to King Roland, and he can’t retire and pursue his own dreams until the women are found. Then the king’s adult daughter - a real princess - also goes missing, and Matt must work with Allie to uncover the truth. Will their fairy-tale ending be a happy one…or more Grimm?

IN THE CUTTHROAT WORLD OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH...
When computer whiz Emma O’Manny’s scientist husband dumps her on Valentine’s Day, vandalizing his office seems like a justifiable—if petty—response. But then Dan’s small plane crashes under mysterious circumstances, and Emma’s suddenly the prime suspect in a double homicide. Worse, Dan may have faked important vaccine safety research, to further his career—and the digital trail leads to Emma. Can she determine which data is correct, to prove her innocence? Or will Dan keep controlling her life, even from the grave?
...THE FIRST TO PUBLISH WINS...
Detective Vin Bronislovas came to Portland to rebuild his reputation, after nearly blowing a years-long investigation by believing the lies of a mobster’s daughter. A single misstep—like falling for another suspect—would destroy his career and ruin his life. But when the killer strikes again, and Emma and her children are threatened, Vin must choose between the Job and love. Can he trust his gut? Or will repeating his past mistakes allow a murderer to go free, and potentially put millions of children at risk from an unsafe vaccine?
...AND ANYONE CAN MAKE A KILLING. ANYONE.

​
Hyacinth Finch has got one foot in the grave, the other kicking ass.
The only thing Hyacinth wants is her life back. Literally. She and her sister were murdered by demons, leaving her young nephew Geordi to his father’s family in the brutal Sicilian Mob. Then Archangel Michael offers her a deal: recapture a powerful rock the demons stole, and she can live long enough to find Geordi a safe home. Refuse, and she’ll continue up (or down) to the afterlife.
So, slightly more alive than dead, she heads for Turkey and the Demons, taking Geordi, her mysterious neighbor Jason, and a sexy dead guy only she can see with her. But the hardest part won’t be battling demons, meeting Satan, or dodging Middle Eastern customs—it will be later, when Geordi is settled, and Michael rips her away again. How can she abandon her nephew? Or can she outwit the Angel of Death himself, and stay with Geordi forever?

When the past comes back to haunt you. Literally.
​
Hyacinth always assumed dying would simplify her life. But when her new boss Archangel Michael sends her on her first official mission—to retrieve a powerful rock from a collector in Germany—things go downhill fast. For one thing, the Dead keep popping up, expecting her to guide them to the afterlife. For another, her part-demon nephew Geordi's powers are leaking out, at age seven. What if Michael finds out about him? Worse, what if Satan does?
​
Then there's her love life-after-death. Rooming with a dead French cop no one else can see is complicated enough. But when Geordi's lying Dioguardi Demon cousin Jason resurrects himself—so to speak—all Hell breaks loose. Can Hyacinth get Michael's rock back before Satan steals its powers and breaks free of his prison? Or will her single-minded pursuit put those she loves—and the rest of the world—in the path of Satan's fury?

The dead won’t stay dead for long...
Hyacinth Finch’s life-after-death just got more complicated. High on her to-do list: Stop Satan from stealing any more of Archangel Michael’s powerful relics, marshal her Dead Army of two thousand souls, and recapture dozens of escaped Hell Demons, to prevent six thousand dead Nazis from wreaking havoc in the world. And on top of all that, her onetime ghost boyfriend has hijacked the body of a former German militant, which has its ups and downs for their relationship.
Then, just when things seem to be under control, her nephew Geordi’s powers start leaking out, and Hyacinth’s own begin to change. She must discover where their abilities originated. But as she digs deeper, will the truths she uncovers do more harm than good? And more importantly—can she figure it out, before Satan escapes from Hell and takes Geordi for himself?

Sometimes, the only way to stop the world from going to Hell is by working with Demons.
Hyacinth Finch has one goal: Save her nephew Geordi from the Hell Demon who kidnapped him. But to succeed, she'll have to work with his demon Mafia relatives, which she swore she'd never do. Worse, she'll have to make another deal with the High Demons who murdered her. But Geordi's life is worth it, even if she loses her own humanity in the process.
Meanwhile, Hyacinth's ghost boyfriend Eric is wasting away, after being ejected from his "borrowed" body. While digging in his past for something to make him fight for survival, she uncovers secrets that could destroy their relationship. Moreover, her feelings for Geordi's demon cousin Jason are stronger than ever, though every morally impossible choice she makes drives him farther away. Can she save Eric and Geordi, without losing herself—and Jason—forever?

A gripping historical mystery set in turn-of-the-20th-century Portland, Oregon.
Portland, Oregon, 1904. As the city prepares for the Lewis & Clark World Exposition, a serial killer is targeting women who have come seeking work. Is it charismatic cult leader Edmund Creffield, who practices "free love" with twenty women at once? Or Catholic-school teacher Allen Grey, whose mysterious illness causes violent blackouts? Or is it someone else, lurking behind a mask of respectability, that no one would ever suspect of cracking?
Desperate to clear her husband’s name, Solace Grey fears that even if she succeeds, his illness will be exposed, sending him to the brutal Oregon Insane Asylum. With no friends and no other options, Solace enlists the aid of Lucky Jacobs, a resourceful man with a past, and Lola Baldwin, a social reformer with powerful connections.
But as they race to uncover the killer’s identity, Solace is torn between loyalty to her husband and her growing feelings for Lucky. In a city built on secrets, the truth may be more dangerous than she ever imagined—and the next victim could be her...
Set against the backdrop of turn-of-the-century Portland, A Lamentation of Swans is the first book in a thrilling historical mystery series featuring real-life figures and an emotional love story.
