When
a murder case from the past heats up again, it’s up to Marley
McKinney to sort through a tall stack of suspects in the latest
Pancake House Mystery. . .
Although it’s a soggy
start to spring in Wildwood Cove, the weather clears up just in time
for the town to host an amateur chef competition. Marley McKinney,
owner of the Flip Side pancake house, already signed up to volunteer,
and chef Ivan Kaminski is one of the judges. But when Marley visits
her landscaper boyfriend Brett at the site of the Victorian mansion
that’s being restored as the Wildwood Inn, she discovers something
else pushing up daisies: human remains.
The skeleton on the
riverbank washed out by the early-spring floodwaters belonged to
eighteen-year-old Demetra Kozani, who vanished a decade earlier.
While the cold case is reopened, Marley must step in when some of the
cook-off contestants fall suspiciously ill. Stuck in a syrupy mess of
sabotage and blackmail, it falls to Marley to stop a killer from
crêping up on another victim. . .

Determined
to prove she’s more than just a pretty face, Detective Evie Harper
works hard and trains even harder to be the very best. Her first
homicide case will put her skills to the test as she and her partner,
Detective Stephen Harris, track a ruthless serial killer terrorizing
the west end of town. The Lovelorn killer may be one step ahead of
them, but they’re closing in fast — until an immoral decision is
made that leaves their partnership hanging in the balance.
Love
Lorn, is the first book in a nine-book series called The Twisted Love
Series. While this book was written Amy Manemann, the second book,
Love Torn, was written by USA Bestselling Author, Stacy Eaton. The
two authors have worked together on these books so the stories run
parallel and prepare you for the first full-length novel in the
series, Love Inked.
The
Twisted Love Series:
The Series consists of nine stories
co-written between Bestselling Author Amy Manemann and USA Today
Bestselling Author Stacy Eaton. This series starts off with Love
Lorn, Book 1, (Written by Manemann) and introduces you to Detective
Evie Harper. Love Torn, Book 2, (written by Eaton), introduces you to
Detective Kali Mann. In Love Inked, these two detectives are
partnered together. The Twisted Love Series is an intense police
procedural and romantic suspense series that delves deep into the
world of crime and how it is investigated. Due to the fact that the
crimes continue from one book to the next, some of these books do
contain cliff-hangers. These books also contain adult language and
sexual situations.

Harvard, finally gets her to take notice of him, the case they are
working goes awry, and suddenly Kali is having emotions she’s not
sure she wants. A major part of her past comes back to haunt her and
just as she beings to open herself up, her life will be torn
apart.
Love Torn is the second book in the Twisted Love
Series. The first book, Love Lorn, was written by Amy Manemann and
introduces you to Detective Evie Harper. Get to know them both before
you jump into the first intense full-length novel, Love Inked.
The
Twisted Love Series is a very intense police procedural and romantic
suspense series that delves deep into the world of crime and how it
is investigated. Due to the fact that the crimes continue from one
book to the next, the books should be read in order and do contain
cliff-hangers. These books also contain adult language and sexual
situations. This is Book 3 of the 9 Book series.
Detective
Kali Mann returns from leave to find a new partner assignment. Not
only is she bitter about recent events, but she’s irritated to be
saddled with the model-beautiful rookie detective Evelyn Harper.
What’s worse, Evie doesn’t just want to be partners—she’s
striving to make them friends.
Another brutal Serial Killer is
in town, and Evie finds that she has a lot to learn, especially when
it comes to her new partner. Evie is not deterred, in fact, she’s
determined to fit in and earn Kali’s respect, and maybe calm the
waters between Kali and Detective Sergeant Greg Shavers in the
process.
As Kali and Evie find their footing and search for
clues to the recent murder, an explosion rocks their police family,
and Kali and Evie team up with others to find the culprits
responsible.
An action-packed full-length novel that takes you
through the streets of Philly as you ride-along with Detectives Kali
Mann and Evie Harper while they deal with crime, tragedy, and new
romances.
Now
that Detectives Kali Mann and Evie Harper are finding their footing
together as partners, they are digging in deep to solve the major
crimes in the Fourteenth District of Philadelphia. When another
victim is discovered, and the ritual killing is found to have
altered, Evie and Kali scramble to make heads or tails of it.
Evie
is pulled undercover to help fellow detective, Josh Westing, and she
needs to balance her personal feelings for him, as well as remain
professional while in the presence of the Mexican Cartel. Evie will
find herself on a precipice to expanding her relationship with CSI
Eric VanLacken and it will either grow to a new level or explode into
bits and pieces.
While Kali is pushing forward and focused on
the serial killings, she finds herself distracted by Detective
Sergeant Greg Shavers more than she cares to admit. Special Agent
Liam MacCabe continues to lurk on the edge, always there for Kali
when she needs it most, especially after she crosses back from the
dark side.
Evie and Kali will both spend their days in court,
and while one case will get resolved, the other will take one of them
to their knees in emotional destruction. Join Evie and Kali as they
investigate new cases, dig deeper into current ones, and find their
love life’s almost as explosive as dynamite.

What
does age-play really look like and can an independent and intelligent
woman really find healing as a submissive in a BDSM relationship?
I
was privileged to travel and explore many parts of the world. I admit
that I was somewhat of a brat, and also out of control. My general
took it upon himself to be a Daddy to me and my first Dominant as
well. He made me face my fears, try exotic foreign foods, and even
challenged me to go outside my comfort zone and learn to play--while
he played along with me. Despite the trouble I got into (and there
was plenty) and the consequences that came of it, I never felt
abandoned, unloved or afraid.
This
is about my first Dom and my introduction into the age-play dynamic.
Many things happened after being taken under my general's protective
(and incredibly patient) wing. He gave me a sense of significance and
worth through love, firm guidance and boundaries. He made me laugh,
helped me to cry, and showed me the power and healing contained
within the age-play lifestyle. He made it safe for my inner child to
express herself and taught me that it was good to enjoy life.
I
pray that all of you are blessed with at least one person who has
positively impacted your life and that you grab every opportunity and
positively touch others. Always remember--your words and actions have
the power to either heal or kill. Which direction do you
choose?

BDSM/AP
lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and
reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange
lifestyle.
Who
am I?
I'm
a native Californian gone 'wild', and had the opportunity to travel
the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine
Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to
go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a
marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative
lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique
inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable
characters.
In
2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both
submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving.
Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and
mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.
My
first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door
to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time,
I've devoted my 'spare' time to writing, researching, community
involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant
behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.
I
was formally 'dungeon trained' as a Domme before discovering my
submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled
primarily from either personal experience or observation, including
spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My
multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and
give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of
fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of
the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on
'the real deal.'
I
live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and
two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S
relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear),
and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies
include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John
can't find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and
developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured
author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a
Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.

Elizabeth Hayley is actually “Elizabeth” and “Hayley,” two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. They learned a ton about each other through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly. They live with their husbands and kids in a Philadelphia suburb. Thankfully, their children are still too young to read.

Quinn McGuire is settling into her new life just fine. She's moving beyond the trauma of her past. She's fallen in love with her best friend, Jack Lassiter, and slowly rebuilding the career she'd once abandoned. Then her old nemesis is arrested for murdering her husband. To the surprise of everyone, Glenda Penderherst wants Quinn to represent her as legal counsel. Quinn doesn't do criminal defense anymore. Nope, she's focusing on areas a little more refined - less drama.
Naomi Banker, the resident vibrational therapist, asks Quinn to look into an intellectual property rights claim. The request seems innocent enough - but boring. Things soon spice up when Quinn discovers that Naomi was romantically linked to Glenda's murdered husband. Soon, more bodies start to surface and like it or not, Quinn finds herself caught in a whirlwind of broken hearts and private alliances, all while trying to manage a few special secrets of her own. She’s convinced of Naomi's innocence and starts to dig for answers. But if she's not careful, she'll end up being added to the body count.
Read an Excerpt:
Like before, the woods seemed to grow quiet and I got the feeling that we were being watched.
Jack stopped. He turned around himself, studying the woods around us. “What am I going to find if I keep walking, Quinn?”
Images from my earlier trek fired in my head. “It’s hard to explain. You have to see it for yourself.”
He pinched the bridge of his nose and squeezed his eyes shut. With everything going on, Jack had little time to waste tripping through the woods with me. He had reporters camped out at the station, a contingent of council members who were growing increasingly angry and unsupportive about the murder, and now I’d roped him into hunting down Naomi’s spook.
“You smell that?” Jack asked.
“It gets worse,” I said. “I may not be able to go all the way in with you.” I gave my belly a little pat. “Strong smells set me off.”
A few more feet and Jack let go of my hand so he could retrieve a kerchief from his pocket. “Saints alive!” he huffed. “It’s damned funky back here.” He offered the kerchief to me. “Use this,” he instructed, then tucked his face into the collar of his shirt. “What in the hell is that smell?”
Suddenly, the tents came into view. Jack signaled me to stop. He pulled me close and whispered in my ear. “Is this it? Is that what you wanted to show me?”
“Yeah.” My voice matched the caution of his tone. “I think someone’s been living here.” I pointed to the big tent. “There’s all kinds of stuff in there.”
“Stay here.” Jack unfastened the release on his sidearm but didn’t move. He stood stock still, his eyes registering everything around us. “Don’t move,” he warned again.
But, instead of heeding his warning, I stepped forward. “I’m going with you.”
He swung around nearly colliding with me. Anger flashed in his eyes. “Don’t challenge me on this, Quinn. Just give me some distance. If something goes wrong – you run.” Jack didn’t like the scene any more than I had.
Pausing at the edge of the clearing, he stood behind a large tangle of branches where he had a view of the entire site. Anyone looking toward the trees would have difficulty seeing him. I waited as Jack moved with catlike steps, cautiously picking up one foot and setting it down again as he moved forward. He slipped his gun out of the holster and eased tenuously toward the edge of the largest tarp. I heard the safety on his gun disengage and watched Jack fold his hands over the handle.
“Police! Anybody inside?”
Nothing.
Pain shot through the palm of my hand. I’d been pressing my fingernails into my own flesh worriedly anticipating the worse.
“Hey, anybody in there! Hayden County Police.”
Jack’s voice echoed through the clearing, bouncing off the trees and shifted back to me. Blood thundered in my ears as my heartbeat quickened. I watched him step closer. He threw back the tarp on the larger tent. Quickly, he dropped to a low crouch and swiveled his gun from side to side before plucking his flashlight off his hip and inching closer.
He stepped back and repeated the call at the smaller tent.
“Now, do you see what I mean, Jack? It’s a mess back here.”
He twisted around, locking angry, narrow eyes on me. “I thought I said for you to stay put!” he snapped.
“That’s not exactly what you said. You told me not to follow you and to run if there was a problem.”
He rolled his eyes but pushed his gun back into his holster. “Does Naomi ever walk out her back door? God! It smells like a dump site.”
