An enemies to lovers series continues.

Who killed Sara Scott? Is he coming for Kinsley next?

With Kinsley aware of Klive’s true identity, Jase pits her against her former love-interest to help him trip Klive into making a mistake that may bring Klive to justice for murder.

As Kinsley works to ensnare Complicated Moonlight, Klive’s mind games mar her attempts to remain resistant to his cunning counteraction. Is he onto her?

Klive realizes Kinsley knows too much. Angry, he manipulates his alter ego to his advantage, striking Kinsley’s emotional weaknesses but mistakenly uncovering his own for her in front of rival gang, Inferno.

Torn between seeing Klive as her enemy and longing for his protection from Inferno’s leader, Ray, Kinsley exploits Klive’s affinity for her as her greatest defense.

Meanwhile, the harder Jase holds to Kinsley, the faster his chances for infiltrating Nightshade slip from his fingers. He cannot lose her, but can he keep her and his case, or will he sacrifice everything to take Klive down?

About Featured Book: The Alice ’65 by Kyle Michel Sullivan

A romantic comedy about an English lad, an American girl, a rare book worth millions, and a lonely guard panther…not your typical day in LA.

Adam Verlain loves his careful, cloistered world of rare and antiquarian books. But when an American celebrity offers her very valuable 1865 copy of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” to his university, he has to be all but forced to travel from London to Los Angeles to close the deal. Then after a disastrous flight, he is taken aback when the actress refuses to give up the novel unless he escorts her to her latest film premier for reasons that seem…well, rather odd.

Subjected to a radical Hollywood makeover, Adam is mistaken for a British actor, dragged to a goofy party, has to dodge an overly affectionate guard panther, and is shocked to learn the actress has lost the book.

Can he escape the spotlight shenanigans to save a true treasure from falling into the wrong hands? And keep himself from falling for a woman who is way beyond his reach in this zany quest to rescue a priceless classic?

About Featured Book: Murder Most Pemberley by Jessica Berg

Eat a crumpet. Check. Say “bloody hell” in an English pub. Check. Solve three murders and fall in love? Definitely not on the list. But when England dishes up murder, even an American girl knows it’s time to channel her inner Agatha Christie.
American Eliza Darcy travels to Merry Old England to partake in a Darcy/Bennet family reunion for one reason: to solve the estrangement between her father and uncle. Not long after Eliza’s arrival and exploration of the vast estate of her ancestors, a dead body surfaces. Murder and mayhem replace afternoon teas and flirting with her British heartthrob. Eliza has every intention of keeping her snoot out of official Scotland Yard business, but when clues to the murder begin to merge with her investigation into her family’s rift, her inner wannabe sleuth self-activates.
With the help of her batty great-aunt and the sexy Heath Tilney, Eliza hurries to untangle the web of lies and secrets. As corpses start to pile up faster than the clues, Eliza fears the estate’s family graveyard will swallow another body: hers.

Just 0.99 for a limited time (until 1st October). Available FREE with PRIME.com!

Ex-superintendent Fabia Havard is struggling with civilian life when a local girl is found dead.

Out walking near the rain-swelled river running past her small Welsh town, she comes across the body of Amber Morgan. Fabia’s police training tells her instantly that the death is the result of foul play. But no longer in the force, all she can do is call it in.

Yet she has mixed feelings when she discovers it is her former colleague, Matt Lambert, newly promoted to chief inspector, who will head the investigation into the girl’s death.

Despite this, having known the victim, and bored with her new job as an illustrator, Fabia can’t help probing into the murder. However, her inquiries further upset the quiet of the town. Not least her neighbour, busybody Rhona Griffiths, who was seen arguing with the victim the day before her death.

Fabia’s activity bothers Matt Lambert but time and time again Fabia’s instincts are proved right. He can’t help leaning on her in order to progress the investigation but that will also involve confronting why she left the force years ago.

Can they put their differences aside and work together to bring the perpetrator to justice despite Fabia’s painful past being brought up again? Or will Fabia’s moonlighting get her into further danger?
