The Hunting Ground (The Deuce Mora Series Book 2) by Jean Heller (519 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

DEUCE MORA DOESN'T SHY AWAY FROM FIGHTS - SHE PICKS THEM. THE BIGGER THE BETTER. Although, to be fair, this one is brought to her by a dog with a bone in his teeth. In Jean Heller's first Deuce Mora mystery, the scrappy female sleuth tangled with the mob; this time out she's on the wrong side of the NSA, the FBI and the CIA. At a minimum. Fans of hard-boiled female protagonists should hang onto their fedoras-- this one's an action-packed extravaganza! The grisly discovery of a human bone while Deuce is out for a hike with handsome arson investigator Mark Hearst leads to the unearthing of a vast burial field, a human trafficking ring, and international intrigue. The pull-no-punches columnist-- and meticulous detective-- keeps turning up information, bit by bit, only to find some Fed in her face, at her door, emerging from the shadows, always guarding the edges of the story, insisting it will not be told. Yes, the Feds are aware of the trafficking ring; yes, they have a plan to move on it; no, Deuce can't be told about the plan; and under no circumstances can she write about its existence. This is the story of a lifetime-- bigger than the Vinnie Colangelo story, which earned Deuce and the Journal a Pulitzer, and, for once, she has the support of her editor, but the Journal's lawyer appears daily, bringing warnings about "national security." What, Deuce seethes, could be a greater matter of national security than the safety of the city's children, who are being kidnapped and murdered? And this story has become very personal for Deuce, as she herself admits, lamenting her loss of objectivity. The hard-hitting journalist has fallen hard for a new guy: a savvy and charming eight-year-old boy named Charles with the face of an angel and the possibility of a bright future, but at great risk due to a life in foster care. Already the street-smart kid has revealed a depth of knowledge about the failures of DCFS and the machinery meant to protect him. For Deuce, every child ...

Just when Chrissy Caldwell thought things couldn't get any worse, life showed up and said, "Hold my beer." The past year had been a living nightmare, one she couldn't seem to wake up from. Thanks to her husband skipping town with his twenty-one-year-old assistant and defaulting on the mortgage, Chrissy was moving back into her great-aunt's dilapidated ranch-style home with her four kids -- which was not in her life plan but she was trying to make the best of it. So when her mysterious neighbor, who according to her friends was a Zaddy, offered to help with renovations she figured, why not? What's the worst that could happen? Ford Savage was used to life throwing him curve balls. He just never would've expected one to come at him in the form of a hot blonde who was a single mom to four kids. After raising twin girls as a single father and spending his days on construction sites, Ford was ready to live out his early retirement on his terms, which included solitude and fishing. So he ditched the big city, moved to a town the size of a postage stamp, and bought a house in the middle of nowhere without a neighbor in sight. His recluse plans hit a snag when the abandoned house down the road was suddenly inhabited by a woman who bears a striking resemblance to his childhood crush and her four kids. The best thing to do would be to keep his distance. His head knew that, he just wasn't sure his heart or hormones got the memo. Author's Note: Stay With You is a small-town, dual single-parent, next door neighbor, age gap romance. This tale of love features a type-A heroine who is down on her luck and a tattooed hero who is done being a white knight.

Deuce Mora Mystery Series Vol. 4-5 Plus Maximum Impact (The Deuce Mora Series Book 7) by Jean Heller (267 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

Three gripping thrillers featuring hard-hitting reporter Deuce Mora - and a twisty, pulse-pounding Watergate-type cover-up of a massive plane crash A Jean Heller read guarantees an intricate, action-packed mystery. Here are three of her best: a locked-room murder puzzle embedded in a contemporary mob mystery, an international crime ring embedded in corrupt government, and a government cover-up that loops and careens to a shocking climax. Fiery, tough, athletic, and a dirty fighter when she has to be, journalist Deuce Mora tends to lean more heavily on her "investigative reporter" profile than her "lead columnist" title strictly requires. Rather than shying away from fights, she tends to pick them. Cases in point: Ill Wind and Black Marsh. She didn't have to go there. But she always does. Ill Wind Veteran reporter Deuce Mora is awakened in the pre-dawn hours and called to the scene of a gruesome hanging to identify the body of a dear friend, an FBI agent on the verge of taking down one of Chicago's biggest Mob operations. Deuce knows it's murder, but the authorities have no choice but to call it a suicide - the death scene was triple-locked from the inside. Black Marsh Deuce discovers a whole new dimension of danger when she wakes up in a swamp next to a plane crash, with no memory of how she got there - and in no shape to argue with the mysterious swamp hermit who claims he needs to hide her from the search helicopters circling above. He's the only help that's coming, since the forces of what passes for law and order in remote Joe Pye County are led by a sadistic sheriff steeped in the corruption Deuce came to investigate. Maximum Impact Three hundred thirty-three fatalities and no survivors. Investigating the deadliest accident in U.S. aviation history in which a new plane's engine disintegrated, reporter Steve Pace uncovers a Watergate-type cover-up involving the government and industrial leaders. Note: The character of journalist Steve Pace first appears in ...

Last First Kiss (Hope Falls: Dorsey Men Book 3) by Melanie Shawn (2,738 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

They say time heals all wounds, but can it also grow new love? Hope Falls was a fresh start for Logan Dorsey whether he wanted one or not. After years as an undercover detective in New York, he needed to decompress. At least that was what he was telling people. The truth was a little more complicated than that. He'd been fighting demons no one knew about, and the only thing that kept the darkness at bay was thinking of the blonde, blue-eyed beauty that was his lighthouse in a sea of PTSD. But since Emma also happened to be his deceased best friend's widow, he knew he had to keep his distance... which proved to be difficult to do when she ended up staying under his roof. Hope Falls was the last place Emma Locke had ever thought she'd visit. But when her son, who is supposed to be at summer camp decided to take an impromptu trip to see his godfather to find out about his dad who passed six years earlier, that's exactly where she ended up. She decided to use the time to finish the book that was due to her editor months earlier. Losing her husband tragically had caused her to have a massive case of writer's block. As a romance author, inspiration as a single mom and widow was nonexistent. Well, that wasn't entirely true. It existed in the form of her late-husband's best friend. Logan awakened her dormant desires in ways she never dreamed possible, and she wrote that sort of thing for a living. The only question was, whether or not to turn her fantasies into realities. Author's Note: Last First Kiss (formerly titled Magic Kiss) is a single mom, hot cop, forced proximity, forbidden love, small town romance. The recipe for this HEA is one-part chiseled, ovary-tingling alpha hero, one-part stunning, off-limits romance author heroine, mix in a handful of well-meaning *cough* meddling family and friends, sprinkle with a dash of humor, add a handful of swoon-inducing heart, and serve with a large side of holy-hotness, mouthwatering sexy time. Bon appetite.
