Book Description
Donald Bain continues the beloved Capital Crimes series with Margaret Truman’s Deadly Medicine, a gripping tale of greed, betrayal—and murder. If someone in the pharmaceutical industry came upon a cheaper, non-addictive, and more effective painkiller, would he kill for it? Washington D.C. private detective Robert "Don't call me Bobby" Brixton, along with his mentors, attorneys Mac and Annabel Smith, discover that the answer is a resounding "Yes," as they try to help Jayla King, a medical researcher at a small D.C. pharmaceutical firm, carry on the work of her father. His experiments in the jungles of Papua New Guinea in search of such a breakthrough product led to his brutal murder and the theft of his papers. Did Jayla's father's lab assistant kill the doctor and steal his research? Is this shadowy figure prepared to kill again to keep Jayla from profiting from her father's work? Does her recent paramour's romantic interest reflect his true feelings--or will he sell her out and reap the rewards for himself? And to what lengths would Big Pharma's leading lobbyist go to cover up his involvement, and to protect a leading champion of the pharmaceutical industry--a Georgia senator with a shady past? As Mac, Annabel, and Brixton soon realize, no pill can ease the pain that the answers to these questions inflict on everyone in this tale of greed, betrayal--and murder.

Lucy’s learned some important lessons from tabloid darling Jayla Heart’s all-too-public blunders: avoid the spotlight, don’t feed the Internet trolls, and keep your secrets secret. The policy has served Lucy well all through high school, so when her best friend, Ellie, gets sick before prom and begs her to step in as Cole’s date, she accepts with a smile, silencing about ten different reservations.

Book Description
Sebastian Bailey is hot AF, but the dude's a total A-hole. I have no idea what I'm in for when I sign up to interview hot upcoming romance author S. Bailey. For starters, she turns out to be a he—and he's super hot. Unfortunately, he’s also a massive D-bag with a weird thing about punctuality. Our first meeting is less than stellar, but thankfully the second one goes somewhat better. Except for the part where I get roped into playing his fake girlfriend at his sister's wedding. Oh, and all the week long pre-wedding family festivities. There's a saying along the lines of fake it 'til you make it. And fake it we did. Perhaps a little too well though. Because the way his eyes devour me from across a room and the fluttering of my heart when he’s near, almost feels real. My head knows this is all a ruse, but try telling my damn heart that… Oh, and then there's the little issue of my expanding waistline... *Nerdy is an opposites attract, fake relationship, unexpected pregnancy rom-com, with the most swoony book boyfriend of every bookworm's dreams that will have you swooning in no time.
