    It comes over the police radio like any other sad story: a woman found on the sidewalk, killed after plunging from her apartment. But something about the gruesome scene grabs David Corman's attention. A freelance photographer with a defunct marriage and a career on the skids, he fixates on this mysterious death. Though near starvation, the woman had been buying formula to feed to a baby doll. Before she leapt, she tossed the plastic child out the window. David photographs the dead woman and her pretend child; although he's jaded, the strange scene stirs his compassion, and he begins researching her past. He's convinced that his job has shown him the worst the city has to offer. But learning the truth behind this futile suicide will teach David that New York is even uglier than he imagined.

    Lots of suspense, mystery, and romance. No cliffhangers! Altering the Ego My boss told me to hire a psychiatrist to do an evaluation on a client. It should have been a simple thing. We were an investigative firm. Our client is most definitely not a serial killer. My task? Hire a shrink. Get her to agree that the client isn’t a psychopath. Boom. Except the boom wasn’t my task getting checked off my list. It was more like my life exploding into a million pieces because nothing is simple when it comes to Dr. Harley Seward. The woman is mental health dynamite and when I’m around her there is no shrinking going on. Cat’s Claw The world is full of a whole lot of sickos. That’s no real surprise. Since I’m a private investigator by trade, I might be biased. But right now I’m looking at a whole string of bodies and a justice system that wants to put the wrong man in jail. So pardon me if I’m not real impressed with the local detectives right now. And double pardon me if I have orders from my boss to get in their way and make myself a regular nuisance while I try to get these guys to do their job. Not that it’s a hardship since the guy I’m following around happens to be the best looking guy in the department. Of course he’s also a big of an odd duck. He seems to be immune to my charm and that is what I call a challenge. Judge Not Someone is threatening to kill my mother. Of course it’s not that I’ve never felt like the woman needed a few good threats, but I’m her daughter. That’s sort of my right. See my mother is a judge and someone really wants to sway her opinion on a case she’s currently presiding over. So what better way to do that than to threaten her family? Of course if the idiots knew her at all they’d focus on my sister. She’s the favorite. But me? I’m the tough one. My mother might be willing to turn down a little help from an outside private investigations company, but I’m not. If a super hot investigator named Zeke wants to help me find out who’s threatening my family. I’m all in. No matter what it takes. Bending the Rules I am sick to death of my job as a private investigator and ready for a change. Is there a man out there who doesn’t cheat, lie, or completely wimp out when the chips are down? If there is, I can’t find him, and that absolutely includes the parade of MMA fighters I’ve been dating recently. Of course my search for Mr. Nonexistent will have to wait until after I deal with the joker that my boss has ordered me to work with on his current pet project. Not only does he live upstairs, but he’s also a lawyer. The fact that he sort of fascinates me is irrelevant. Really. If my boss’s daughter wasn’t such a good friend, I think I would have walked away. When it All Falls Down Letting my wife divorce me was probably the stupidest thing I ever did. I would never say that out loud though and I’ll deny it if anyone asks. Colleen is an amazing woman. I just wish she would stay out of the way and let me use every resource at my fingertips to find our daughter. Does the woman not understand that the city is a powder keg and we’re running around out there with matches? I know what to do. I know where to look. I’ve got a crack team of investigators and I’ve assembled all of the specialists I could ever want. In the end though, it’s going to take both of us to find our little girl.

    Go figure. I've always known I was adopted. It never mattered much...until my birth mother died. I inherited a new power from the mysterious woman. But now she’s dead and I, despite the fact that I have exactly zero training, I’m the next time-traveling assassin. Don’t get excited. The job sounds glamorous, but it comes with a huge learning curve and plenty of mishaps. Then there’s having to actually assassinate people. That part sucks. It could be worse. I could still be working retail.

    Now I’m on my way home to a mother who disapproves of me and four sisters who barely know me. Is it possible for a witch like me to find space in a place she doesn’t belong?I didn’t think they’d dismantle the paranormal military with a wave of their bureaucratic magic wand, but they did. Everything I’d spent the previous fifteen years of my life doing and being was ripped away from me in an instant, out of my reach.And now that the paranormal military’s gone, I’ve got nothing left to fight for.So I’m on my way back to Forkbridge, Florida, to the family coven of the goddess Athena, which is led by high priestess Minerva Arden. My mother’s name. The hippie witch mother I left thirteen years ago, against her explicit wishes, to join the military rather than take my place at her side.Mother no doubt expects me to return home to claim my birthright and fulfill my destiny to the goddess Athena.Not a chance.Or so I think.Because when the goddess Athena sends you a talking owl that slaps you with a divine superpower and tells you to go save someone with it, it’s really hard to say no.
