Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nancy Drew meets The X-Files in this fun, nostalgic, and gripping whodunnit."It's 1959 and school is out for the summer. When Mary-Sue overhears reports of a monster lurking around her small seaside town, she sees the perfect opportunity to go from under-appreciated sidekick to full-time partner in The Britannica Junior Detectives--that is, if romance doesn't get in the way first. Danny Britannica is Mary-Sue's best friend and founder of the amateur sleuthing duo. While she's a bit of a social outcast, always absorbed in her science-fiction pulp magazines, he's the valedictorian, prom king, captain of the football squad, and the most eligible bachelor in town. He's also just developed a very time-consuming crush on a mysterious beatnik girl who claims that the world is about to end. Frustrated with his dismissive and distracted attitude toward her case, Mary-Sue sets out into the swamp to stubbornly solve the mystery herself. There she meets a handsome, motorcycle-riding greaser who claims that there's a government conspiracy afoot--that what she's searching for isn't a monster at all; it's an alien, and he can take her to its flying saucer. This charming, exciting, and romantic love-letter to classic amateur detectives stories is a twist-filled mystery with lots of quirky small-town characters and a touch of romance. Readers rave: "There's lots of humor, there's drama, some social commentary, and of course a big helping of mystery and suspense that keeps you turning those pages. The writing is rich and strikes the perfect tone, never taking itself too seriously, while still treating the characters as real." - Amazon Review "Gallagher updates the teenage detective trope with fully realized characters who are allowed to err, learn, and grow." - Amazon Review "A clever thriller reminiscent of a Nancy Drew mystery type of book." - Amazon Review "Engaging plot with relatable characters in a throw-back setting. I read it and loved it. So did my 12 year old daughter!" - Amazon Review This cozy, humorous, and empowering mystery is the perfect rainy-day read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland. The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date. Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on. Exactly what I needed after my breakup. Or so I thought… Until my real date arrived. Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date. I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet. But my real blind date and I had no connection. So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game. When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty. Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period. Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy. A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled. You guessed it: Dimples. Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play. And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood. He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.
