Putting on the Dog
A charity dog show has Jessica hitting the road with her faithful one-eyed Dalmatian, Lou, and her tailless Westie, Max, for the palatial summer estates of Long Island's fabled East End. When she arrives, the posh seaside community is crawling with stars eager to take best in show for their beloved pooches. But it's murder most tacky when a celebrity photographer is felled by a giant ice sculpture at a $500-a-plate fund-raiser. Unable to resis the scent of the hunt, Jess is soon investigating a casting director's dream of potential suspects. But if Jess isn't careful, she just might become the next victim of a killer determined to prove she's barking up the wrong tree.
Celebrated amateur detective Albert Campion awakes in hospital accused of attacking a police officer and suffering from acute amnesia. All he can remember is that he was on a mission of vital importance to His Majesty's government before his accident. On the run from the police and unable to recognise even his faithful servant Lugg or his own fiancee, Campion struggles desperately to put the pieces together while the very fate of England is at stake.
Celia Vallerand fears for her life as she stares into the deep,
arresting eyes of the dashing man who purchased her from the brigands
who had abducted her. But it soon becomes clear that it's her virtue,
not her life, that's in danger. The rugged, powerful renegade known
only as "Griffin" arouses desires in Celia as dangerous as they are
forbidden. And though she knows she must resist him, she fears she may
be unable to do so.
But the magnificent adventurer is a man
trapped in a perilous deception. And the shocking secrets he guards
could deny him the love of the fair captive lady who has enslaved his
reckless heart.
