    About this series

    He needs to keep the gorgeous competition out of his head . . . and his bed.

    Former FBI agent Abe Royal believes in hard work, justice, and a suit for every occasion. He's hot on the trail of an elusive book thief when he realizes he's being followed . . . by a sultry, cunning stranger.

    Ambitious, young detective Sloane Argento has just been handed the case of a lifetime. It's a challenge she's prepared to meet head-on. Until she finds herself in a sexy game of cat-and-mouse with the devastatingly handsome competition. Tempting the sinful devil hidden beneath his cool facade might just become as much a priority as capturing the criminal.

    Abe's stoic restraint shows cracks every time Sloane gets too close. He needs distance, rules to protect himself. But when teaming up is the only way to race the ticking clock, he's left wondering just how long he can deny his attraction to this risky, red-hot distraction.

    Contains mature themes.

      Just because the marriage is fake doesn't mean the attraction is . . . Delilah Barrett is a head-turning beauty on a quest for justice. She's made a career of recovering stolen rare books with her private detective firm. She's level-headed, smart, cool under pressure . . . and entirely unprepared for her new assignment. When a centuries-old book worth an astronomical fortune disappears from Philadelphia's Franklin Museum, Delilah is paired up with Henry Finch, a brilliant rare book librarian and celebrated academic. Their orders: Go undercover as a married couple and recover the book by whatever means necessary. Henry can speak four languages and wear a suit like he was born in Armani. But he's never squared off against criminals. Never operated in this underground society of glamour and greed. And he's certainly never pretended to be married to a woman who both dazzles and distrusts him. Delilah's keen instincts are her greatest gift, but her growing attraction to the sexy librarian is messing with her head. Every feigned caress, every for-the-audience kiss only heightens the seduction, building a fire that refuses to extinguish. As the danger intensifies, so does the temptation to let their fake desire become real. With a priceless artifact at stake, can this undercover couple learn to trust each other . . . before it's too late? Contains mature themes.

      From the outside, the gorgeous Freya Evandale seems like a quirky bookworm with a taco addiction. Most people would never guess she's a proud drop-out of the FBI's training academy and a highly-skilled computer nerd. These days, she's happy as a private detective at Codex, specializing in stolen rare books. That is until an old nemesis with an arrogant smirk and superhero shoulders ends up in her office. Special Agent Sam Byrne is a tightly-wound workaholic with a secret . . . or ten. When a betrayal leaves him questioning his career with the Bureau, consulting for Codex seems like the perfect place to hide. But he certainly never expected to see Freya again. At the academy, their rivalry was legendary. And their sparring sessions resembled an actual battle, or worse . . . foreplay. Now these enemies are forced to play nice as they go undercover to infiltrate a secret society. It's a dangerous world of power, wealth, and shifting alliances. The higher the stakes, the harder it is to resist the true reason behind their rivalry. But surrendering to years of pent-up lust is a direct threat to their mission . . . and their safety. Contains mature themes.

      Sometimes novels about elderly people can veer towards the cutesy. Given that this is a cosy mystery, there seemed a definite risk of that. But The Thursday Murder Club is a gem – charming and funny, emotional and gritty, and barely ever cutesy at al
