Serial Dating
Can Sarah survive her first date with a Serial Killer who lives for the Thrill of the Hunt?
Elevator Revelations
Detective Alchemy was ludicrously certain of his sleuth skills, as he was sure everyone recognized. But will he be able to solve the grisly murder of professional wrestler BamBam while feeling plagued by the ever-present Sergeant Duggan?
Ivy
There had been better days. Days when she hadn’t had to fake the glitter in her eyes.
The Waiting
