    About this series

    Dust, glory-and murder-at the rodeo.

    Malone Summers "has what it takes" to ride horses to big wins in the rough and tumble world of rodeo. Once young and headstrong, she'd chased her dream with a wild rodeo cowboy destined to break her heart. Now she's riding high-until she finds a frightened young stowaway named Joss in her rig, and the murders of rough stock riders begin.

    Cade Delaney has a past heartbreak of his own. He's ready for a second chance with the only girl who ever turned his head or stole his heart, but while Malone is a risk-taker in the arena, she's not willing to put her heart on the line again when Cade reappears in her life.

    Trouble, the sleek and talented black cat detective, finds himself in the world of rodeo and murder when he takes on the job of guarding Malone against the mounting danger around her. Young Joss is connected to the murders, but how? Trouble has to help the humanoids determine what role Joss plays in the dangerous events and then help them see the truth their hearts fight against.

      Blood is thicker . . . Sometimes a unique talent is inherited-and such is the case for Trouble, son of Familiar the black cat detective. Trouble's rather indolent life in the sleepy town of Wetumpka, Alabama is upended when a serial killer arrives on the scene. Trouble begins to apply the skills he learned from his dad and his hero, Sherlock Holmes. When local bookseller Tammy Lynn is attacked at the site of an impact crater, Trouble realizes he must protect his human and solve the mystery of the Silk Stocking Killer. Aiden Waters, a local deputy, has tracked the SSK to Wetumpka. Since his wife's murder, Aiden won't risk romance, but when Tammy is endangered, everything changes. Especially their hearts.

      Divorce, Betrayal, and Murder. Avery Wilson knew starting over would be hard, but she never expected to be in an all-out war with her ex. What was he planning next? Her goal of equine rehabilitation for wounded veterans on her Alabama horse ranch was slipping from her grasp, and her precious horses were in danger. Dirks Hanna had what should have been a simple mission-evaluate Summer Valley Ranch for federal funding. But something deadly was happening in Summer Valley. The beautiful-and headstrong-equestrian was targeted for harm with danger in every direction. And, intertwined with that danger, was a multi-faceted black cat who somehow appeared at the scene of every disaster. Trouble had arrived at the ranch anticipating bitter human emotions to run high, but the black cat finds his paws more than full with murder and two very stubborn humans who refuse to see they are meant for each other.

      Key West is paradise-unless you're the dead woman in the Toucan Suite. The Hemingway cats, Megs and Bartholomew, who wander the grounds of the BB, think Liberty Anderson was a spy. But spying on whom? And why? Trouble, the black cat detective, must decipher their cryptic communications and piece together a motive for murder. Ginger Browne runs the BB on a shoestring. The Paradise is her home, her history, and her refuge. An unsolved murder could be the kiss of death for this native Conch's struggle for financial and emotional security. Trout Richardson is one of the many recluses who came to Key West to escape his past and work as a charter boat captain. Was Liberty merely a charter to him? Or is there more to their relationship? Both Trout and Ginger resist their mutual attraction, but Trouble knows they're on an irreversible course toward love and redemption. Trouble must help them resolve the mystery of Liberty's murder and steer them down the path toward each other. All while a killer roams the island paradise of the Conch Republic and a lost treasure is up for grabs.
