TARA MEYERS

Vacation isn’t supposed to be terrifying-

Chris Echo thought the perfect escape from the terrors of her life as a CSI profiler would be a private island in the South Pacific. But the tropical setting proves to be anything but peaceful when she finds herself trapped in the middle of something far more dangerous.

Kyle Stone’s own demons aren’t anything a remote luxury island can fix. He and the guerrilla band he’s infiltrated for a long undercover mission are traveling to an exchange when a storm washes them ashore and they take the resort’s guests as hostages. Stone is left with the choice to either keep his cover intact or save their lives–including the life of a beautiful woman who may prove to be his salvation.

Each of the island’s visitors harbors their own personal fears, but they’re about to confront the ultimate fear of all–the struggle between life and death. In the midst of the turmoil, Chris realizes that perhaps death isn’t her greatest challenge. Sometimes, it’s your own memories that can destroy you.

Death brought her home. Only the living can make her stay.

Ember Burns was determined to overcome her grief and establish a new veterinary practice, but her first client lands her in the middle of a murder mystery. When the evidence points to a horse as the cause of death, she vows to protect him.

Except horses don’t talk and neither do the dead, so Ember has to rely on her intelligence and instinct to get to the truth. A truth buried under layers of small-town secrets big enough to get her killed.

Battling a reluctant Sheriff and pushy Mayor, Ember struggles to get her business off the ground while digging deeper. Why would anyone want to kill the local farrier, and who was plotting to stop her?

As the town gears up for its centennial celebration Ember is led from local ranches to the surrounding Cascade Mountains in her quest. Time is running out for the horse and for Ember as a maze of intersecting lies come together which threatens her life, and will allow the true culprit to get away with murder.

The savage land of the West beckons-

With her life and home ripped out from under her, Jo’s left with an unexpected inheritance and a chance to start over. Except in 1868, a woman owning land was a new concept. Running a cattle ranch was unheard of.

As the country rebounds from the ravages of civil war, she heads west for the Blue Mountains. It’s deep in the wilds of Oregon, a land full of both beauty and terror. Armed with a promise made to her dying father and a will of iron, the last thing Jo expects to find there is love.
