Rosemary For Remembrance
Shattered by her husband’s tragic death, young lawyer Abigail James takes on a case that stirs too many memories. A dying woman wants Abigail to find out what really happened to her sister Rosemary, a hit-and-run victim who’s been dead for more than fifty years.
Rosemary, who had the looks of Hollywood royalty but ran straight into every dangerous situation she could find, mesmerized every man she came across. But she kept her heart hidden—and that may have cost Rosemary her life.
As she delves into the past, Abigail discovers suspects ranging from a vanished hoodlum to a judge who is now headed for the Supreme Court. And soon, Abigail comes to see how she guards her own heart, even from sexy Ross Stewart, her partner on the case. Yet soon she must turn to him, and learn to trust, as twisted threats warn her that investigating Rosemary’s death too closely will put Abigail on a collision course with danger and death . .
Wedding Chimes, Assorted Crimes
In Lake Hope and other posh suburbs of Chicago, the services of photographer Keely O’Brien are in high demand, especially for all the theme weddings that are currently the rage among the social elite. But after Keely works two weddings from which the gifts are stolen, suspicion starts to fall on her, as well as on caterer Max Summers. Local gossip columnist Flo Netherton insinuates that Keely and Max may be playing some role in the thievery.
Putting aside her pride and her distrust of Max, Keely convinces him to help her uncover the real inside contact for the robbers. Together they set out to explore the grimy underside of the lace and tulle world of society weddings, but once-friendly business colleagues are suddenly too busy—or too afraid—to talk. Overnight, Max and Keely become pariahs, and something more sinister than rumor may be responsible for the wall of silence.
