They Never Die Quietly - via AME Virtual Blog Tours

Homicide Detective Sami Rizzo is assigned to head a task force investigating serial killings in San Diego. The target: highly intelligent and evil villain Simon - who believes God has given him absolute authority to purify his unholy victims through a ritual that ends in a grisly crucifixion.

Rizzo urgently yearns to solve the case and gain the respect of her male colleagues, but her obsession to apprehend the killer on her own clouds her thinking. When Simon outsmarts Rizzo and captures her, she
must employ all her resources - both physical and intellectual - to outwit the villain at his own game.

Kings Rapids: A Kurt Maxxon Mystery - They Never Die Quietly - via AME Virtual Blog Tours

Race driver Kurt Maxxon’s quiet life of racing stockcars and training his new puppy, Beau, is turned upside down after he finds well-known local driver Rusty Gallegar shot to death at the racetrack. Very quickly into the investigation, the police arrest Alisa Sharpe, Gallegar’s live-in mistress, whom Gallegar kicked out of his life a week before the shooting.

According to the police, Alisa lied about key items, and the evidence against her is compelling. Kurt’s friend Mutt Sparks adamantly maintains that Alisa is innocent, and asks Kurt to help her. Kurt visits Alisa in jail and agrees Sharpe is probably not the killer, then launches his own investigation to prove it.

Kurt discovers Gallegar was preparing to sell his auto body shop and quietly leave town, apparently running away with a married woman. Kurt also uncovers a string of women who traded sex with Gallegar for his silence to their husbands and insurance companies about auto wrecks they had. Secrets and intrigues turn up in every corner Kurt looks.

Love, infidelity, jealousy, gossip, and revenge surround Kurt Maxxon as he gathers information and analyzes it using his unique logic and approach to find out: who killed Rusty Gallegar?

Product Description

From the author of Paradise Rules comes a story about an alluring woman-who learns that to understand desire, you have to let it run wild.

Genny loved her husband Max, but he lacked the sexual charge that was instead ignited by his business partner, Sean. Ruggedly handsome, Sean had a heart-stopping smile that made Genny weak. The more time they spent together, the stronger the attraction between them became. Then her husband offered to share her with Sean for one intoxicating night...

That night in the company penthouse, Max and Sean showed Genny the heights of ecstasy. But it was Sean who touched her very spirit, and one-on­one, they were red hot. But as Genny learns, there's a price to pay for such impulsive pleasure. What began as a night of forbidden desire spirals into a whirlpool of murder, sensual submission, secrets, and a scorching passion that threatens to consume everyone it touches.
