As spring rolls around in the Twin Cities, Kate uncovers a baffling new case. A millionaire recluse has been found with a spear through his heart—dead on his own private island. Detective Rosetti is called in to peel back the layers of the most unusual homicide she’s seen yet. To add fuel to the fire, Kate’s ex-boyfriend now occupies the desk next to her. It’s a little hard to focus on her burgeoning relationship with one handsome billionaire when remnants of her past are visible at every turn.

After taking a gig with her grandfather - the Don of the Italian mafia - Lacey Luzzi has been in for a wild ride. Stolen property, rogue weddings and uncomfortable Family dinners - she's seen it all. However this time, when Carlos interrupts Lacey's sugar-induced nap with a phone call, he gives her an assignment that sends her skidding into a place she least expects: the local spa.

It’s Detective Dani DeMarco's first week back on the job, and she is not amused. The coffee at the precinct is a disaster, a most annoying colleague is driving her insane, and her on-again, off-again boyfriend is now officially her boss. As if that’s not bad enough, Dani’s faced with a double homicide before the caffeine even hits her system. When a high-profile young elf is kidnapped and destined for death, Dani’s forced to go toe-to-toe with a kidnapper who has unlocked a secret so potent it could destroy an entire race of paranormals.

When Detective Dani DeMarco is attacked in the middle of the night, she’s more than a little disgruntled. However, she soon discovers that things aren’t as simple as they seem and that everyone she loves is in great danger. The battle for the Hex Files has officially begun, and Wicked is under attack. Two werewolves are dead. A rogue vampire is on the loose. The love of Dani’s life is teetering on the edge of death. As the hunt for the Files turns into a race against time, Dani and her friends will come face-to-face with fate - the good, the bad, and the deadly.

When a powerful witch goes missing from the NYPD, Dani is dragged out of retirement to assist her sometimes boyfriend, sometimes boss Captain Matthew King in locating the detective before it’s too late. But things are never that easy, and Dani is soon faced with three bodies missing from the morgue, two reports of necromancy that rock the borough, and a new strain of illegal magic wreaking havoc across Wicked.

Dear Diary, I know three things: 1. I didn't kill anyone. 2. Mack Montgomery is a troublemaker. 3. I am running out of time. You've got to believe me, Diary. I didn't have anything to do with those murders, I promise you. For crying out loud, I'm the only person in this tiny Texas town who doesn't own a gun! But I can't help feeling like someone is out to get me. The only question is who, and why.

I didn't expect to spend my annual company party sobbing in a photo booth, wearing nothing but a homemade grass skirt and a pair of coconuts. I also didn't expect to lose my apartment, my job, and my boyfriend in a rapid series of embarrassing events. Events that, unfortunately, also landed me in a bit of hot water, and left me with a secret that only money can fix. So when the opportunity arose to enter my book club buddies into a contest for a chance to win $50,000, I took it. I just forgot to tell them about it.

Lacey Luzzi is all sorts of starred, striped, and spangled as she returns in Sauced, reunited with Meg, Clay, and Anthony just in time for the Fourth of July! Unfortunately, the rapidly approaching holiday means Lacey can no longer ignore the Luzzi Family Festivities - a picnic held every year on Independence Day. Filled to bursting with limoncello, ice cream cake, and illegal Mexican fireworks, the event promises to be an utter nightmare.

As Lacey waits for Baby Luzzi to make his or her appearance, she’s decided - at her husband’s insistence - to cool her jets on the whole chasing-criminals lifestyle. She’s settled in comfortably as part-time help at her best friend’s bar, and, although the work might be a tad boring after years of explosions and car chases, it’s a safe job, relatively sanitary, and uneventful - for most people. Lacey isn’t most people.

When a dazzling destination wedding brings the Luzzi family to Hawaii, Lacey plans to take advantage of the sunshine and relaxation, along with a healthy diet of papaya and shaved ice. However, Lacey has her work cut out for her. Somewhere between traveling with a baby, learning to Hula dance from her grass-skirt-attired grandmother, and keeping Anthony's hands off her coconuts, new mom Lacey Luzzi is sucked into a pulse-pounding chase after her hotel room explodes and leaves a dead body behind.

During the holidays, a snowstorm isn’t the only thing threatening the paranormal sixth borough of New York. A student has been killed on the Campus of Magic, and Detective DeMarco is called to the case. But once she begins to unravel the clues surrounding the murder, she realizes the incident is far more complex - and dangerous - than she ever imagined. Meanwhile, Grey has been gone for weeks, and Matthew is caught up in his new role for the NYPD. When Dani is assigned a rookie partner to help her with her latest case, it’s the last straw...until the killer sets his sights on Dani.

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, Lacey Luzzi is all set to cuddle her adorable baby and sexy husband after a giant feast. However, her plans turn belly-up when a dead body appears during the largest bake-off event in St. Paul history. Amelia Rapport, the front runner to win the state-wide bake-off, has landed face-down in a pool of royal icing, and, somehow, it's Lacey's job to save the event. If she doesn't, not only will millions of cookies go to waste, but her life - and the lives of those she loves - will be in danger.

At the famously luxurious Serenity Spa & Resort on the Californian coast, guests arrive ready to celebrate what is set to be the wedding of the year. Ginger is an overworked, under-pampered mother of three who's barely holding the family together. Lulu is a wealthy retiree with four ex-husbands, and a fifth on the way. Emily harbours a dark secret, which she's become expert at forgetting with the help of a bottle of wine. Kate is a powerhouse lawyer with her life in order - except for one little problem that won't go away. Only 24 hours later a man is found murdered.

Vier Frauen gestehen denselben Mord – doch nur eine kann es gewesen sein. In einem luxuriösen Spa-Hotel an der kalifornischen Küste feiert ein Society-Paar die Hochzeit des Jahres. Keine Extravaganz ist zu kostspielig, alles soll perfekt sein. Doch während des Probedinners der Schock. Ein Mann ist tot – ermordet. Der Polizei sitzen vier der weiblichen Gäste gegenüber: Ginger, deren glückliches Familienleben am seidenen Faden hängt. Kate, die sich alles kaufen kann, nur nicht das, was sie sich am meisten wünscht.

Wie würdest DU deinen Mann töten? Ein luxuriöses Apartment in Beverly Hills: Wie an so vielen Abenden sitzen Anne, Eliza und Penny bei einem Glas Wein zusammen. Auf den ersten Blick haben die erfolgreiche PR-Beraterin, die gestresste Mutter und die ehrgeizige junge Schauspielerin wenig gemeinsam – und doch können sie über alles reden. Auch über untreue Ehemänner.
