  Baby Widow Makes a Home in Murder House The media can say what they want about Chloe Stark, daughter of the infamous serial killer, the Black Widow. It won’t change the fact that she has three dead stepdads and not a care in the world. Carrying on her mother’s legacy is causing bigger problems than tabloid drama. The local teacher who just surfaced from the bottom of the lake, for example. And the family man she just turned into mountain lion lunch. And her biggest problem of all is that she’s in love with the man who put her mother in prison, and he’s in love with the idea of her in a jail cell. Detective Colin Mills knows the Black Widow’s daughter isn’t as innocent as she pretends, that she might have had a hand in the grisly murders her mother committed. But the more time he spends on his chaotic hunt to find evidence that will put Chloe away, the further his obsession drives him over the thin line between truth and temptation and into the tangles of her web—and he’s far from...

  They call him The Mad One . A cocky hotshot on the racetrack. While I’m not a fan, we do agree on one thing: Maddox Hartley doesn’t want me in his life. Shadowing a recently retired racing champion for six weeks is a far cry from investigative journalism. But when your editor benches you, you make the consolation assignment count. Because my job isn’t just a paycheck, it’s justice for my brother. I’ll play along. I just didn’t count on him being so hard to resist. And the more time I spend in his orbit, the harder it is to remember why I can’t let myself want him. A reporter falling for her subject only ends one way—in ruins. I know better. Once my article runs, I’ll leave Winslow Grove behind. What I don’t’ realize yet is, the story was never on the line, it's always been my heart… My Review Grace and Maddox actually have more in common than they realize. They would if Maddox was not trying to avoid Grace. Yet, I understood where Maddox was coming from and why he was dodging ...
