If that weren't enough, Amelia is going through a rough patch in her own marriage. Faced with divorce papers, she tries her hand at easing her ghostly visitor's mind as well as finding a way to salvage her own love life.

As October 31 dawns, Amelia is surprised when both of her problems materialize before her: the ghost assumes human form and her husband in name only offers her a glimpse of the love she thought lost.

Amelia will need to race against the clock to help her spectral friend before Elizabeth vanishes into oblivion. But Amelia finds that not only was she wrong about the behavior of ghosts but also about her notions regarding marriage in general and love in particular.

Vegetarian at Midnight

Eirelander Publishing

Sophia has problems beyond being near-sighted. Bound to work for a power-hungry Portal Master for the next 90 years, her crown-shaped birthmark might set her apart, but her vegetarian status makes her unforgettable. She can't get afford to be distracted by Xavier's Adonis-like features because she knows she'll betray him eventually.

Golden-curled, fedora-wearing Xavier's a man with issues. Under a gypsy curse that compels him to morph into a werewolf, he wants nothing more than to convince the Portal Master to lift the curse. The only way to that exulted individual is through Sophia, but her stubbornness and fearful disposition heat his blood and annoy him at the same time.

The unlikely duo must chase down a gypsy, venture underwater to chat with a rifle-wielding mermaid, de-brief a dragon lawyer, and out fox a unicorn with Hollywood aspirations.

Can a meat eater and a vegetarian thwart the odds to beat the curse, or will the Immortal Court of the Eight Realms pass judgment on all paranormal beings in the Mortal Realm before Sophia and Xavier discover that opposites do attract?

It's up to Quentin to solve the case within 24 hours before it's taken over by his superiors—and they won't be as nice about it. The trouble is Quentin's five suspects all have a good reason to have killed Ruby Slippers. Along with gathering clues and interviewing the house-bound group, Quentin has to fight his growing attraction to his number one suspect, Jillian Pearson.

He'll need more than a sense of duty and hard-nose justice to see beyond the black and white before another crime is committed and Jillian steals his heart.

Meredith Kirby works as a sous chef in a brand new bistro. She's given the chance of a lifetime to prepare a meal for a renowned food critic and seizes the opportunity. The meal is a success and when the critic arrives in the kitchen to meet her, Meredith's pride sours into fear and confusion when the critic ends up being, Jamison Rocket—the man who ditched her at the altar and stole her heart.

Neither one has been able to forget the love they once shared. Over the Fourth of July weekend, their romance is rekindled into an inferno they once thought impossible. Though the need for acceptance burns bright within Jamison, it's Meredith who ultimately will need to decide which ingredients she'll need to whip up a happy ending and add fireworks to her own life.
