According to Honor, her handsome next-door neighbor and resident Vine Warlock, she has a certain gift. Only a Wine Witch isn't all she is. When the Naked Ghost on the Chair in her Bedroom starts asking questions, she's certain she's ready for the Not so Funny Farm...and determined to get rid of the Curse! But after her first paying venue goes belly up....and Dead Hostess down, Verity, along with her newly adopted crime-sleuthing kitten Lois, will need to solve the murder quick if she want to get paid and keep the farm. There's a load of secrets in this seemingly cozy little town where nothing happens by chance... And the biggest one of all may be just past the spiders in the cellar on the left...

'A hilarious romp that I just couldn’t put down.' Katy Brent A sharp, funny and deliciously dark thriller that fans of Katy Brent, Bella Mackie or Killing Eve will love. When your boss is at a conference in a city where there's a suspicious death, it's unlucky. If it happens twice, it's odd. But when she's in the same city at the same time as a third unexplained death . . . Could she be a stone-cold killer? Millie's always known her boss Freya is a psycho – the demanding and ever-changing coffee orders, the cryptic instructions, the apparently expected mind reading and don't even start on the insistence that Millie wears heels . . . All. The. Time. But it only extends as far as exacting office standards. Right? As Freya's assistant, Millie has privileged access to her diary and travel history and when a pattern emerges of men (who seem to have no connection to each other) dying in cities where Freya is travelling, Millie is determined to figure out what's going on. After all, a stone-cold killer could be exactly what Millie needs . . . Readers are loving How to Slay at Work: 'A hilarious romp that I just couldn’t put down.

Join Heather Heyford as she returns to Napa for a third taste in her series following three wine heiresses, each as vibrant and unique as the grapes for which they were named... Sauvignon St. Pierre has always been fiercely ambitious. She easily could’ve cashed in on her family’s fortune, but instead, she struck out on her own, breezed through law school, and landed a job at a small firm in Napa. Savvy’s life is as tidy and straightforward as her sizable collection of little black dresses, and she likes it that way—but every now and then, she can’t help but long for her first sip of love... After a chance encounter with Esteban Morales, the caliente son of Papa St. Pierre’s long-time rival, something inside Savvy wakes up. It could be that Esteban’s interest in cultivating lavender appeals to her passion for perfumery. But there’s something else about the charming but down-to-earth farmer that she simply can’t resist. They both know their families are an unlikely pairing, but together, Savvy and Esteban just may be the ideal varietals for a perfect blend...

Who says vampire slaying is a young woman’s game? When 50-year-old Charlie Williams buys the winery she’s been saving for her whole life, she thought her vessel—wine not sailing—had come in. Sure, there’d been a couple supernatural snafus, but that was behind her. But when she’s ambushed at home by two vampires, all she has to fall back on is witty banter and a hot streak of luck. Avoiding the truth won’t work anymore. The vampires are back, and accepting her calling as a middle-aged Buffy is the only way to save her business—and stay alive. Charlie’s dreams of wine-making success are disappearing faster than a glass of chardonnay at a garden party. Unfortunately, the vampires keep raising the stakes. How much more can her life suck? She’s about to find out… Here to Slay is book 1 in the new Vamps in the Vineyard Paranormal Women’s Fiction Adventure series. If you like strong female characters, all slaying and no laying, and more vampire puns than you can shake a stake at, then this is the series for you!

Matt Mandrell, unsuspecting graduate student, never imagined his research would lead him to a strange scrap of parchment that would change his life forever. . . . Crossing the void of time and space, Matt is whisked away to an enchanted world where speaking in rhymes works the most dazzling magic. There he wins not only fame and power as the Lord High Wizard, but the heart of the beautiful Queen Alisande. His dreams are shattered, though, when he learns that he can’t marry his true love; wizard or not, Matt is just a commoner in this bizarre land. So Matt makes a foolish vow: to conquer a kingdom, any kingdom, if that’s what it takes to claim his bride. But, as Matt discovers, in this world of enchantment, such an oath cannot be broken. He has truly committed himself to win a crown or die trying. In search of lands to conquer, Matt sets his sights on neighboring Ibile, where the evil Gordorgrosso rules with an iron fist and sinister magic. Matt marches off against the tyrant, gathering a small band of unlikely allies, including a surly dracogriff, a well-spoken cyclop, and a damsel in distress. But against Gordogrosso’s foul genius, Matt is going to need much more than a few stout-hearted companions and some clever rhymes. . . . Oathbound Wizard is the newest addition to the Del Rey Imagine program, which offers the best in fantasy and science fiction for readers twelve and up. For all the fans of the classic Her Majesty's Wizard, here at last is the eagerly awaited sequel--an action-packed, laugh-laden new medieval fantasy. Matt Mantrell's talent for poetry had won him fame, power, and the heart of a beautiful queen. But to win her hand, he would have to conquer a kingdom.
