Book Description
Culinary queen Angie Amalfi has put aside her gourmet utensils to concentrate on planning her upcoming wedding to San Francisco homicide detective Paavo Smith. What could possibly go wrong? Instead of the answer to her heart's dreams, she scrambles to deal with wedding planners with bizarre ideas, wedding dresses that don't flatter, squabbling relatives with hurt feelings, a long-suffering groom, and worries over where she and Paavo will live after the wedding. But all of that pales when Angie finds the perfect house for them, except for one little problem--the house may be haunted. Many years ago, the newlyweds who lived in the house were murdered, and the case was never solved. While Angie pursues what happened to the couple who now may be haunting the house, Paavo obsesses over his own case involving the murder of unlikely lovers. The trail leads to ghosts, murders, unhappy families, and enough obnoxious wedding buttinskis to fill a graveyard. But when eerie happenings turn deadly, Angie fears she may be spirited away for good! "Pence's tongue-in-cheek humor keeps us grinning." --San Francisco Chronicle "A tasty treat for all mystery and suspense lovers who like food for thought, murder and a stab at romance." --The Armchair Detective

Book Description
An antique hope chest, a forgotten wedding dress, and a packet of letters lead to a startling journey of love, tragedy, and self-discovery… Charlotte Truscott's meticulously planned life is up-ended when she finds a preserved wedding dress in an antique hope chest. With it, nestled among linens and forgotten heirlooms, is a packet of letters faded with age. The letters hold the words of a long-forgotten relative, a daring and spirited young woman who defied the conventions, comfort, and familiarity that Charlotte has always clung to. As Charlotte pursues a strong uncharacteristic desire to unravel the mysteries of her great-great-grandaunt's past, her own carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Her devotion to her father's corporate empire wavers when she discovers the Donnelly Cabin Inn and goes there to learn all she could about her relative's life. In the process, with the help of the handsome and compassionate Deputy Sheriff Joseph Murrieta, Charlotte begins to realize she has other choices to make for her own life. But then, as the tragic tale of her great aunt’s past unfolds, the lives of Charlotte and her long-lost relative become intertwined, as if led by a force transcending time. And Charlotte can't help but wonder if such echoes of her aunt's past--or her aunt's ghost--will guide her to a better future... or if they are a warning to her of dangers to come.

Book Description
One by one, a horror film director, a judge, and a newspaper publisher meet brutal deaths. A link exists between them, and the deaths have only begun …. Archeologist Michael Rempart finds himself pitted against ancient demons and modern conspirators when a dying priest gives him a powerful artifact--a pearl said to have granted Genghis Khan the power, eight centuries ago, to lead his Mongol warriors across the steppes to the gates of Vienna. The artifact has set off centuries of war and destruction as it conjures demons to play upon men’s strongest ambitions and cruelest desires. Michael realizes the so-called pearl is a philosopher's stone, the prime agent of alchemy. As much as he would like to ignore the artifact, when he sees horrific deaths and experiences, first-hand, diabolical possession and affliction, he has no choice but to act. The dark legends are true. To stop the artifact's evil Michael must follow a path along the Old Silk Road to a land that time forgot, and to somehow find a place that may no longer exist in the world as he knows it.
