    SOME SECRETS EVEN MONEY CAN'T BURY


    When Palm Springs millionaire Barney Lochner is found dead in his mansion—and his trophy wife's lover is shot to death at a Salton Sea mini-mart—private investigator Dana Forsythe is pulled into a tangle of greed, lust, and betrayal worthy of the valley's most exclusive midcentury modern zip codes.

    Dana's client is Jamie Lochner, the trophy wife in question. She swears she's innocent, but the evidence says otherwise: her missing gun, her lover's body, her fingerprints on the life she tried to escape. Hovering over it all is Barney's daughter Nielle, a "daddy's girl" with dark secrets, an inheritance to protect, and a heart of pure venom.

    As Dana digs deeper, she unearths a deadly family feud and a final reckoning more twisted than anything she could have imagined.

    In this suspenseful thriller by Caitlin Rother, a journalist and cop fight a sexual attraction as they join forces to expose a layered scheme of dark and dangerous secrets.

    When investigative reporter Katrina Chopin and surfing homicide detective Ken Goode lock eyes, there’s an immediate attraction. Sparks fly as they bond over cocktails, sharing their common experiences of being orphans and losing loved ones to suicide.

    But the next time they meet, it’s from opposing sides of a high-profile case. Two biotech execs, whose company is developing a groundbreaking sexual enhancement drug, turn up dead in the wealthy seaside enclave of La Jolla Farms, where Goode can readily see that the forensic evidence doesn’t add up.

    As they work their own angles, sometimes together and sometimes at odds, their growing attraction threatens to cost them their jobs—and their lives. As Katrina and Goode pursue answers behind these mysterious events, a secret stalker taunts Katrina with details of her tragic past, which takes her to the brink of death. But once the duo rips the mask away from this beautiful paradise, the corrupt underbelly behind all that glitters is revealed.

    Jan 21 2026
    In a split-second decision that will shatter his life, insurance salesman Jack Spinks stops to help a young woman walking alone down a back country road. After getting into his truck the mysterious young woman grabs the steering wheel and forces the truck off the road, sending it plunging over a cliff and into the woods. What begins as a simple act of kindness spirals into a nightmare as Jack finds himself trapped in a dark and perilous world, hunted by the woman's cryptic pursuers. As he fights for survival, Jack's journey uncovers a haunting connection to his own past—one that may hold the key to unraveling the mystery and escaping the deadly forces closing in on him. From the highly acclaimed author of A Single Shot, A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow is a pulse-pounding crime thriller that weaves together psychological suspense and a gripping mystery, where every step brings Jack closer to a truth he's long buried—and forces him to confront who, or what, he can truly trust.
