She had to grow up fast and learn how to use what she had to get what she wanted. As the young protégé of her mother figure and boss, Trinity Daniels, she finds out early on the power of what she has between her legs. Ren has been doing things her way and on her own ever since the one person she trusted let her down. Therefore, when she has an encounter with a real “Boss” she doesn’t know what to do or how to handle it. She does all she can to avoid him and put off the connection that they both feel. Due to the curve balls thrown in her life, she has no clue what love really is until she’s pursued by a man who doesn’t take no for an answer. Everything about Bryan “Boss” Stephens screams money, power, and respect. Anything Boss wants, he gets, and right now, what Boss wants is the beautiful, sexy, intelligent, Ren Wright. Even though they meet in a way that’s not likely for most, they hit it off immediately, and he knows right away that he has to have her. The only problem seems to be that Ren doesn’t know her worth and is truly putting up a fight against allowing him into her life. Will Ren allow her past issues and present lifestyle to keep her from being with Boss? Can she be the woman Boss needs in his life or will she cause him more harm than good? Boss will have to step his game up to show Ren what it is to be with a real man. Lies and secrets come to light when these two decide to hook up. Are they ready to face the consequences of being together? Can they survive the storms? Let’s take a ride with Ren and Boss as they travel down the rocky road to love...

Mayhem. A madcap lady vicar. Have you met The Reverend Annabelle Dixon? Annabelle is the charming, slightly gauche, very tall, thirty-something vicar of St. Mary’s Church located in the picturesque village of Upton St. Mary in Cornwall, England. She is beloved by her parishioners for dispensing good advice and godly wisdom with humor and charm while zipping her Mini Cooper around the country lanes and attempting to build a relationship with her church cat, Biscuit.

Instead of tea and cakes, she is regularly served a heaping plate of murder and a fine helping of handsome Inspector Mike Nicholls. This digital box set contains the first four mysteries in this bestselling series: Death at the Café: With a nun accused of murder, and armed only with a note, a disappearing dart, vague hints, and a love of cake, Annabelle must gather the clues, pacify a detective, and find the real perpetrator before both she and her friend wind up in jail. Murder at the Mansion: Recently appointed to her rural church position, trouble arises when she faithfully welcomes a new resident to her quaint parish and finds herself in the midst of a deadly murder case and a village full of gossip. Body in the Woods: When a young boy is running home through the woods, he finds a bone: a forearm to be precise; a human forearm. This discovery sets in motion the reopening of a cold case that Reverend Annabelle Dixon, it seems, simply can’t leave alone.
