FROSTED SHADOW by Nancy Warren (Toni Diamond Mysteries #1)
There’s nothing pretty about murder.
Meet Toni Diamond, make up artist to middle America. She’s also got a nose for trouble and a passion for solving mysteries. Imagine Columbo in a lavender suit. She never met a woman who wouldn’t look better with a little help from the Lady Bianca line of cosmetics. But don’t be fooled by appearances. Underneath the fake diamonds and the big hair is a sharp brain and a keen eye that sees the details as well as the funny side of life.
When a Lady Bianca sales rep is murdered at the annual convention in Dallas, Toni is the one who notices things that some people, like sexy Detective Luke Marciano, might easily miss. Only someone who understands as much about how to make appearances deceiving could see into the mind of this killer -- a murderer who wants to give Toni a permanent makeover.
Into a dead woman.
SHE’S GOTTA BE MINE by Jennifer Skully (Cottonmouth #1)
Dumped? For her husband’s high school sweetheart he hasn’t seen in twenty years? Roberta Jones Spivey isn’t going to lay down for that. Instead, she reinvents herself and the new Bobbie Jones—new haircut, new name, new attitude—follows her soon-to-be ex to the small Northern California town of Cottonmouth.
What better way to show him—and his sweetheart—what he’s missing in the brand new Bobbie Jones than taking up with the town’s local bad boy—who’s also reputed to be a serial killer. Nick Angel is devilishly handsome and sexy as all get-out. In a word, perfect.
It’s all going exactly according to plan…until a real murder rocks the little town of Cottonmouth. Of course, Nick didn’t do it…did he?
THE HONEYMOON COTTAGE by Barbara Cool Lee ( Pajaro Bay #1)
Camilla Stewart is making a fresh start in Pajaro Bay after her ex-fiancé stole her life savings, embezzled from her job, and then disappeared without a trace--leaving behind nothing but his eight-year-old son, Oliver. But when sheriff's captain Ryan Knight informs her that her ex is not only a con artist but an accused murderer, Camilla realizes she and little Oliver are the only souls on earth who can identify a serial killer... and they are next on his hit list.

Now she’s a murder suspect with only one option—find the real murderer before she ends up in jail for a crime she didn’t commit.
Quincy came to LA looking for fame and fortune. What she’s found is infamy and misfortune. There’s a killer out there, and Quincy’s going to them…or die trying.

Released on bond, Rick and his girlfriend Laura have 30 days to find the real killer. In the course of their investigations, they dig for dirt among Denver’s shady legal backrooms to its tony corporate centers. Dodging bullets, a kidnapping, trumped-up charges and the FBI's unwanted intervention, Rick and Laura continue tracking key suspects who have motive...eventually learning that true redemption begins at home.
CAUGHT YOU LOOKING by Shelley Adina
Introducing the Moonshell Bay series—fun, flirty contemporary romance novels by award-winning author Shelley Adina.
Hot on the trail of a technology thief, private investigator Duncan Moore is convinced that he’s found him in beautiful Moonshell Bay. What he needs is proof. When he goes to ask the neighbor if he can watch from her upstairs bedroom—wow! Sparks fly right off the bat—and now he has two reasons to stay. Mallory isn’t sure she wants a hot, single guy in her house 24/7 ... although her matchmaking family certainly is. They’re ready to throw the engagement party!
Duncan isn’t prepared for how distracting and unique Mallory is. When his surveillance of her—er, his suspect—begins to show signs that Mallory might be involved with her neighbor, Duncan knows he’ll have to get even closer. It isn’t enough that she’s caught him looking—he has to catch his thief, too. But when it all goes down, who is catching who?

Award-winning author Shelley Adina wrote her first teen novel when she was 13. It was rejected by the literary publisher to whom she sent it, but he did say she knew how to tell a story. That was enough to keep her going through the rest of her adolescence, a career, a move to another country, a B.A. in Literature, an M.F.A. in Writing Popular Fiction, and countless manuscript pages. Between books, Shelley loves traveling, playing the piano and Celtic harp, watching movies, and making period costumes.

After graduating from the University of California Santa Barbara, Colleen worked as a film production assistant, improv comic, telecommunications manager at the RAND Corporation, technical writer/editor, speech writer, and private investigator. All these experiences play into her writing.

When not sleuthing or writing, Colleen likes to spend time with her husband and their two Rottweilers and three cats.
