Cougars In The Hollow: Complete Series
Sofia Westlake - 2019
When she zips over to Wicker to have a look at a dead tourist, she’s pretty sure that this is the strangest case she’s ever come across. It doesn’t help that the local sheriff seems unwilling to be helpful. In fact, the only person in Wicker that seems interested in finding the murderer is the guy who owns and runs the local bar. At least Thane Bostick doesn’t tell her to leave five seconds after she introduces herself. Thane is smart and sexy in ways that defy explanation. But Belle isn’t in Wicker to find a man. She’s here to choose. Homicide, Suicide, or Death by Misadventure. Cat’s Cradle Natalie Arrington is just a painter. That’s it. She’s looking for pretty scenery to put on cards and canvases so she can sell them to tourists and make money. When someone leaves a murder victim right in the middle of her scenery, Natalie isn’t amused. Unfortunately for her, neither is anyone in Wicker, Kentucky. It wasn’t like Natalie had intended to be in Wicker. But it seems that once you’re there, you don’t ever leave. Fortunately for Natalie, the local blacksmith doesn’t seem inclined to let the sheriff bully her around. Whoever heard of a blacksmith in this day and age anyway? Cats and Dogs Spencer Evans is having a run of bad luck. Her twin brother has shacked up with his new baby mama in Spencer’s house. There’s no room for her to stick around and she’s too busy trying to pretend that she doesn’t care to admit that she does. Enter Hardison Burlington. The handsome stranger shows up in Wicker and seems to have no respect for boundaries. He shows up in Spencer’s kitchen in the middle of the night without a word of apology. Even worse. He’s charming! When Spencer takes it upon herself to keep an eye on this newcomer to see what he’s about, she finds herself sucked into Wicker’s ongoing battle between the haves and the have nots. But Hardison is too fascinating to leave alone. The man isn’t an average human, but he’s not a cougar shifter either. He’s something else and Spencer cannot imagine how that will ever fit into her life in Wicker. Cats and Kittens Franny Ikenburger is sick and tired of being called the silliest girl in Wicker. If the vicious old gossips in town had anything useful to do, maybe they would stop inventing lies to get Franny into trouble. Then a new rumor starts. But this one doesn’t involve Franny. John Moore is a quiet man who isn’t at all prepared for a whirlwind ride on the rumor mill. As Franny and John are drawn together and sucked into the seedy underbelly of Wicker’s illicit drug trade, they learn to depend on each other for a much needed reality check. Franny might be younger, but she’s not silly. And John is the only one in the world who seems to believe her. Sometimes the love and support of one man can be enough to turn things completely upside down. Cat Scratch Fever Orrin Wilshire is pretty sure he knows exactly who is behind this recent bout of killings in Wicker. He just can’t prove it. Yet. When a state investigator shows up to lend a hand, Orrin doesn’t want anything to do with her. Matilda Harbuck is an outsider. If she sticks around long enough the killer is likely to make her his next victim. But Mattie is no shrinking violet. The woman is peeling back the layers of Wicker like the rotting peel on a piece of fruit.
