Book Description
Two O'Clock Heist sends San Francisco Homicide Inspector Rebecca Mayfield out of her jurisdiction and out of her depth when her inquiries into the murder of an old friend gain the attention of a gang of Russian mobsters. Richie Amalfi, who Rebecca sees as a charmer with an indifference to the fine points of the law, seems to know a little too much (or maybe a lot too much) about the people who are not only trying to stop Rebecca's investigation, but to stop her permanently. This only makes her question, even more, exactly who Richie is. But for now, he's the only one helping her in the face of threats to her life. Rebecca's interest in Richie grows as the situation takes a deadly turn. Through him, she looks beyond hard evidence to the secrets at the heart of the case, and in turn, to the secrets of her own heart. But through it all, Rebecca has to wonder if she'll end up as dead as a cold Russian winter.

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.

When Homicide Inspector Rebecca Mayfield's would-be boyfriend, Richie Amalfi, is named as one of San Francisco's "most enticing bachelors," she's not amused, but she never expected it would lead to his life being threatened. As a restaurant owner, men's upscale clothing store owner, hotelier, and more--handsome bachelors all--are attacked, Rebecca realizes the danger is very real. Who's killing the city's "enticing bachelors" and why? Rebecca must answer those questions as she grapples with her own questions and feelings about Richie. Rebecca soon discovers that where there's smoke there's fire. As she gets closer to the bachelors to learn why they're in danger, she finds their happy surface images hide troubling conflagrations below. When she's forced to dive below the steamy surfaces to learn what's really going on, only Richie has the insider knowledge she needs to do it. And while she might sizzle over Richie, the more she learns about both him and the case, the more she realizes that she may have just moved from the frying pan into the fire--with equally deadly results.
