Twelve years later, Caith, now a P.I., is hired to investigate bizarre incidents at the secluded retreat Veronica manages. Returning to his hometown, Caith is forced to face his nightmares — and his feelings for the woman he's always loved.

After the callous way Caith broke her heart, Veronica isn't thrilled to see him again. But strange occurrences have taken a dangerous toll on business at Stone Willow Lodge. Forced to work together, Veronica discovers it isn't ghostly apparitions that frighten her, but her passion for a man she has never forgotten. Or forgiven. Can two people with a tarnished past unearth a magical future?

Someone Must Die
Sharon Potts
A Novel of Suspense
Thomas & Mercer (June 2016)

Publisher synopsis: When her six-year-old nephew vanishes from a neighborhood carnival, Aubrey Lynd's safe, snow-globe world fractures; it shatters when the FBI's investigation raises questions about her own family that Aubrey can't answer.

Aubrey picks apart the inconsistencies to expose the first of many lies: a ransom note — concealed from the FBI — with a terrifying and impossible ultimatum. Aubrey doesn't know what to believe or whom to trust. The abduction is clearly personal — but why would someone play a high-stakes game with the life of a child? The more she presses for answers, the more Aubrey is convinced that her mother is hiding something.

Desperate to save her young nephew, Aubrey must face harsh truths and choose between loyalty to her family and doing the right thing. And she'd better hurry, because vengeance sets its own schedule, and time is running out.

Behind the curtained windows of Victorian Boston is a world of passion, scandal … and murder …

In life, he was the most despised man in Boston, publisher of the town's scurrilous gossip sheet — and buyer and seller of people's most scandalous indiscretions. Now Colonel William d'Arcy Mann lies on the floor of his fashionable hotel suite, the victim of a single gunshot wound to the heart.

Addington Ames came to recover a packet of love letters written by his young cousin, Val, that had fallen into the blackmailing colonel's possession. But when he discovers Mann's corpse instead, Ames suddenly finds himself at the center of a murder inquiry, his name splashed across the town newspapers.

With Val facing public disgrace — on the eve of marriage to an impeccable member of Brahmin society — Ames's only hope is to find the damning missives, which he believes vanished with the killer. With the help of his sister, Caroline, and their boarder, Dr. John MacKenzie, he moves through Boston's most prominent social circles in search of a well-concealed murderer whose final act of violence will leave no life — highborn or low — untouched …

His step-son Alistair is immediately tempted into bad habits by Cara's wastrel brother Trentham and Cara herself is reunited with her first love and briefly reverts to being the flighty chit of her carefree youth. Gil imagines their return to Hanbury will solve the problem, but Sir Gideon Cutteridge follows Cara home and proceeds to scandalize the staid little Spa town.

In the meantime Gil's brother C H Underwood has problems of his own. His man servant Toby is now married to the ex-slave Sabrina. A mysterious American arrives to claim that he actually owns Sabrina and wants to take her back to America. Toby feels that Underwood is not fully invested in saving Sabrina as she was instrumental in trying to poison him two years before, on the instructions of her slave-master. Toby is so frantic to save his beloved wife that he seeks the services of the female assassin, Flora Colfax, whom Underwood had failed to capture the year before. Then Cara's erstwhile lover is found stabbed and Gil is the prime suspect.

Can Underwood save his brother from the gallows, Sabrina from lifelong slavery and the American from the murderous clutches of Flora?

An hour north of Minneapolis, Lydia Ascher comes home to find two dead men in her basement. When Leo and Gino discover her connection to their current cases, they suspect that she is a target, too. The same day, an elderly, terminally ill man is kidnapped from his home, an Alzheimer's patient goes missing from his care facility, and a baffling link among all the crimes emerges.This series of inexplicable events sends the detectives sixty years into the past to search for answers — and straight to Grace MacBride's Monkeewrench, a group of eccentric computer geniuses who devote their time and resources to helping the cops solve the unsolvable. What they find is an unimaginable horror — a dormant Armageddon that might be activated at any moment unless Grace and her partners Annie, Roadrunner, and Harley Davidson, along with Leo and Gino, can find a way to stop it.
