 A serial killer is targeting residents of Port Angeles, the  Mayberry equivalent of the Pacific Northwest, and leaving the corpses missing their right feet. Baffled local police seek the help of newly-retired FBI Forensic Profiler Abbey Rhoads. Despite hoping to distance herself from her prior career based in death,  East Coast transplant Abbey welcomes the distraction from the hell of creating lesson plans for her new job - teaching snarky twenty-somethings at the local college - and from arguing with her sexy yet extremely opinionated home-renovations contractor, Max Edison. But her skills are put to the the ultimate test when the bodies continue to pile up and one of them is the proven killer of the first six victims.
Now Abbey must figure out who has taken over for the dead murderer, while also figuring out how to fit into a small town, what the difference is between dating and just having sex, the bizarre thing called fashion , which precludes her from wearing any polyester for some strange reason, and finding where on the earth she can get a serving of decent chili-cheese fries. 

American Evelyn Parker has only twenty days left on her Brazilian visa to save her beloved Billy, kidnapped by reputedly ruthless drug lords. Brazilian authorities and the U.S. Embassy have told her to simply pay the ransom but Evelyn will only hand over the money once Billy is safely back in her arms. She hires reluctant ex-Marine Hicks to help her make the arduous trip into the Amazon Basin. And Hicks makes no bones that he not only doesn't trust her, he doesn't even like her. 

So what will he do once he learns the truth about Billy?

When gossip columnist Kim Carmichael has the tables turned on her by hunky megastar Tanner Powel, she finds out just how horrible it is to be the subject of GOSSIP.

Rafe Atherton, the Duke of Devonshire, has managed to muck up his life, and rather grandly. A dalliance with  the wrong woman has put him at the center of a scandal that could bring down the  next Prime Minister of England. Desperate to remove the threat to his peer - and to himself by way of being skewered by said peer - agrees to disappear from London life. Begrudgingly, he accepts his friend Alex's suggestion to act the butler at the fellow's country cousin's estate.

Lady Isabella Fitzhugh is nothing if not a practical, logical young woman. Having her lifelong butler retire and being informed by her cousin Alex, in what she can only assume is an attempt to help, that he is providing her a butler-in-training, is beyond annoying. A small self-contained estate needs no ripples to mar the carefully orchestrated smooth waters. But when the new butler, one Easton, arrives, her home and her emotions become one stormy mess.

It soon becomes apparent Easton is not even remotely a member of the serving class, let alone an actual butler.  And when the attraction between Easton and Isabella can no longer be denied, the proper mistress of her domain decides to take matters into her own hands to discover the truth of just who Easton really is. And if that means travelling to London for the first time, so be it!

Alexander Fitzhugh is a bear of a man, quite content to spend time with his sturdy mistresses. When his father and his cousin begin to pester the rakehell to fulfill his obligation to produce an heir, he balks at the idea of having to select his bride from the dainty debutantes of the Season. Thinking to eventually find a robust widow, he is not prepared for the campaign launched upon him by "Bill", a petite blonde vixen who already has more than enough young swains dancing to her tune; nor is he prepared for the raging desire and protectiveness she evokes in him.

Lady Wilhemina Kirkpatrick, or Willy as her intimates call her, is enjoying her first Season and plans to find a suitable rouge to teach her the art of becoming a flirt. Once she sets eyes on Alexander Fitzhugh however, the headstrong young lady quickly decides the Earl will be the perfect match for her. Undaunted by his surly behavior toward her, for she has seen the blatant passion burning in his eyes, she contrives to ensnare the acrimonious lord and every knows - 

what Willy wants, Willy gets!
