When Push Comes to Shoot by Rena Koontz

Emma Hunter’s tyrannical brother deserved to die, even if the manner of his murder was horror-movie gruesome. As a police lieutenant, she’s duty-bound to provide whatever assistance she can in hunting down her brother’s killer, but she doesn’t mourn his loss. Business acquaintances, former friends, and even his relatives agree the world is better off without the despicable bully.
With no clues and too many suspects, it looks like the murderer might be home free—until tenacious Detective Jared Jones’ suspicions turn to Emma’s sweet sister-in-law. Emma knows for a fact that her brother’s mentally and emotionally abused wife is innocent, but conflicting loyalties prevent her from speaking up and turning the investigation in the right direction. What’s best for her brother’s widow could cost Emma everything she values—her career, her reputation, even her freedom.

Her Untamed Soul by Mandira Mazumder

My book is about the life journey of a free-spirited and intelligent small-town girl who grows up into an empowered woman through various phases she goes through. The first book is about her intriguing and adventurous childhood & adolescence when she romances with her class friend from her engineering college. Latha has grown up in a class-divided and rigid society. But she defies the “love laws” that bind her. She fights for her right to choose her lover, and they passionately love each other. All hell breaks loose as the family spies inform her father. She is kept under house arrest and the parents stop her education.
All exit points are blocked. The first book tells us if the persecuted girl will find her way out to her independence.

The Book2 is about her insane struggle with the entire society and her criminal father who is politically powerful. On the one hand, the police are on their trail and the local goons, trying to find her hideout. Life becomes unbearably hard and challenging when Latha fights out her life’s battle to protect her love life. Her father takes appalling revenge and the world of the 22 years old girl burns to ashes.
Book 3 is about Latha’s story of rising from the ashes and fighting out a bigger challenge legally. It is a harsh world of crime and intrigues. The trajectory of the protagonist’s life completely changes as she learns, gradually, to survive and discover her happiness. She rediscovers love in a much greater way. Would she find her joy and redemption from her existential crisis as a woman?

Do No Harm by James Cohoon

Doctors go to medical school to save lives… right?

When Matthew Preston was eight, his father was shot and killed in rarefied Pacific Palisades by Ted Nash, a home burglar who happened to be the Preston’s neighbor. Though Nash was sentenced to life in San Quentin, Matthew’s lifelong obsession is to somehow get into the prison, gain access to Nash, and exact the ultimate personal revenge. He devises a plan to become a prison doctor to gain access to Nash.

While in medical school, Matthew falls for brilliant classmate Torrey Jamison from poverty-stricken East Palo Alto. Torrey is battling her own demons, having been raped by a school counselor while in high school. Matthew is focused on vigilantism; but he loves Torrey who is morally opposed to killing for any reason—or so she thinks.
