Some people would kill for coffee… Olivia Rickard would kill to keep everything just the way it is. She’s got a gorgeous boyfriend who loves her, a supportive sister to lean on, and a dog walking business that’s briskly barking away.

Besides, her sister Janelle is acting fishy enough lately. For Olivia, that mystery is more important to solve than finding out where Andrew’s missing report is.

A week ago, Rylie thought she'd be on her honeymoon with the love of her life, sipping fruity drinks, and soaking up the sun. Never did she think she'd be on a beautiful island solving a murder. Now, women are turning up dead at the resort and the authorities seem to be covering up the truth—that the deaths aren't accidental, but murders. Can Rylie solve the mystery before anyone else is murdered?

The Anteros is the God of requited love and thus, the avenger of love that is unrequited, and love issues are something that Stella and Chev know a lot about. Both are guests at the beautiful wedding of a friend on an historic college campus. It’s a very happy occasion until something odd happens. A serving of champagne goes wrong and just when the bride and groom take the floor and the dancing starts, they are called away to investigate a body found in the creek that flows through the campus.

If Rylie had a checklist for her life it would look like this: Full-time job . . . check. Serious boyfriend . . . check. No dead bodies in months . . . check. On paper it looked good. Fantastic even. But in reality, she still lives in her parents' basement, doesn't feel like part of the ranger team, and knows a body is bound to show up at any moment. When she discovers a teenage boy with severe hypothermia, Rylie has to work with one of her biggest rivals to figure out what happened.

Rylie is staying out of it. No more investigating, no more drama, no more danger. She has enough on her plate training the woman who completely upended her life. But when someone is brutally attacked, Rylie is conflicted. Surely, the police can handle the investigation. They have the experience, the training, the knowledge. And Rylie not only has a job to keep, but friends she doesn't want to let down . . . again. Until she realizes she may have been the target of the attack and the woman she's training—her nemesis—may have been the attacker.
