Why put a diamond inside a chicken? Why is there a special club for men with red hair? And why does a woman disappear on the day of her wedding? These are some of the strange questions which Sherlock Holmes has to answer. In these six stories we join Holmes and his friend Dr Watson on some exciting adventures.
Lord Philippe Lavay once took to the high seas armed with charm as lethal as his sword, and a stone-cold conviction: he'll restore his family's fortune and honor, no matter the cost.

She is shunned by her family and ousted from a job she loves, and her survival means a plummet down the social ladder to a position no woman has yet been able to keep: housekeeper to a frighteningly formidable prince.The bold and gentle Elise sees past his battered body into Philippe's barricaded heart . . .
V.I.

But Merci, who's still unpopular for exposing an old police scandal that caused the death of one cop and the ruination of others (The Blue Hour), is resisting pressure from her boss and a headline-hunting D.A. to arrest Wildcraft and charge him with murder.
