Life for Lily Locke has not been normal ever since she learned of her witchy heritage, but now more than ever, her world is spiraling out of control. When a series of strange events begin to tear her beloved island apart, it’s up to the famed Mixologist to seek out the most powerful wizard in the world and spare him from death. However, as Lily begins the hunt for the Master of Magic, she encounters a prophecy that could destroy everyone she’s come to know and love.

Summer in the Twin Cities is hard to beat, and Detective Kate Rosetti is excited to show FBI Agent Jack Russo a nice, relaxing time while he’s back in town. Unfortunately, her plans go belly up when Tommy “Two-Toed” Bianchi is found floating face down in Kate’s favorite lake. To complicate matters, Alastair Gem turns up with a brand-new girlfriend…which is all fine and dandy until his girlfriend goes missing. Gem begs the already-strapped-for-time detective for help, and Kate can’t refuse. One murderer, one kidnapper, and one boyfriend are a lot for the detective to handle. But if Kate doesn’t focus on finding the killer before time runs out, she’ll be the next victim in his deadly spree…

In Shoot the Breeze, the first book of the series, a young woman turns up dead along the Mississippi River, and rising-star Detective Kate Rosetti quickly realizes it’s the work of a notorious cross-country serial killer. In the next book, Riddle Me This, Kate gets the news that infamous serial killer Ramone Wilkes has escaped from prison, and she knows that he’s on his way to her. In the third book, Follow the Money, she must balance a romantic weekend with her almost-boyfriend and a case where the main suspect is the infamous Angelo Rosetti–her father. This thrilling series is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Lee Goldberg, and Kendra Elliot and continues on in the fourth book, Bite the Bullet.

When Detective Kate Rosetti is called to the scene of a gruesome murder on the morning of Valentine’s Day, she’s hardly surprised. After all, it seems love just isn’t in the cards for her. Fortunately, she has a new case to throw herself into headfirst. This time it isn’t just any dead body; this time it’s personal, and she stands to lose everything. However, solving a murder is never as easy as it sounds, and neither is Kate’s love life. As she dives deeper into the investigation involving a man who played a pivotal role in her family’s past, her future is getting all sorts of blurry. A certain billionaire seems intent on keeping her close. A former flame isn’t completely out of the picture. So what’s a girl to do when the new case she’s working suddenly puts the lives of the people she loves in danger?

When a well-known mobster turns up dead–gunned down in the refrigerator at her favorite local restaurant–Detective Rosetti has no choice but to get involved. Unfortunately, it’s not long before a familiar name emerges as a suspect, making this case her most personal one yet. The infamous Angelo Rosetti, Kate’s father, is back. Along with her new case, Kate is forced to balance a cozy weekend with her (almost) boyfriend as she dives deep into the Rosetti family history. However, when romantic dinners turn into stakeouts, her burgeoning relationship stumbles onto shaky ground. If Kate can’t find a way to lock up the hitman who has turned his sights on her, it’s not only her love life that’s on the line…

With the help of her family, the Core, and her new boyfriend, X, Lily must stop the Puppeteer from taking over the island before it’s too late.
Because if she doesn’t succeed, nobody will.

NEW FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR GINA LAMANNA
Hello, world. My name is Lucy Little, and I’m an author.
Actually, my mom thinks I’m a homeless bum with no health insurance, and my dad truly believes I’m as famous as Brad Pitt. He frequently asks me to sign napkins that he passes out like currency at the local police station where he likes to steal doughnuts. He’s a former cop. That probably makes his theft acceptable.
There’s only one problem with this whole “author career” of mine, and it’s that I’m not actually making all that much money from it. I like to say I have a burgeoning career; I am making a living, but it’s a pretty dismal living. But that’s all about to change. I’ve got a new game plan, a pen that’s mightier than a sword-but not literally because I’m terrified of violence-and a bunch of words to put down on paper.
Unfortunately, my plan gets thrown out the window the day I stumble upon a real live dead body. The next thing I know, I’m wrapped up neck deep in a murder investigation with the superhot cop who is also my ex-boyfriend. It’s all fun and games until the killer starts coming for me, and then I start wondering how I can write the end when I might be next?

One awkward billionaire. One failed psychic.
A tale as old as time . . .
Lola Pink: He schedules everything. And I mean everything.
I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I took this job. I thought it would be simple-pretend to be Mr. Dane Clark’s personal assistant, find the missing blueprints, and get out of the Clark Castle for good. But, somehow this socially awkward, tech-genius billionaire has wormed his way into my heart. And even if we survive this mess, I’m not sure I want to leave.
Dane Clark: How do I put this? She’s . . . pink.

So very pink. Bright and sunny and peppy. I mean, she has at least one hundred and four pairs of sunglasses. Why? I’ve never seen a woman wear so many sunglasses before: red, pink, blue, green, glitter-encrusted. I don’t understand it.
As for her organizational skills? Abysmal. Her attention to detail? Non-existent. Her ability to frustrate me to no end? Spot on. I never should have hired her. Lola Pink does not fit into my schedule. Nevertheless, she whirled into my life anyway; and she changed everything. Now I’m stuck trying to keep my company afloat and the two of us alive, while Lola turns my life all shades of pink.

One awkward billionaire. One failed psychic.
A tale as old as time . . .
Lola Pink is in all shades of trouble. Her shop is still under construction, she’s sort-of-fired from her job, and her hottest date this week is with a microwave burrito. However, when Dane Clark finds himself at the center of a murder investigation, Lola slips on her gorgeous vintage sunglasses and takes the case.
She’s determined to prove that her sometimes-boss, sometimes-boyfriend is innocent, even if that means dealing with Dane’s “charming” parents and planning a “splendid” charity gala in under two weeks. However, it doesn’t take psychic powers for Lola to see that the closer she gets to uncovering the murderer, the more danger she’s in-and this killer isn’t afraid to strike again.
With Lola struggling to piece together love, career, and a murder investigation, she wonders if her relationship with Dane Clark is destined for failure, or if maybe, it’s been written in the stars all along . . .

Lola Pink is all shades of concerned about the state of her wedding plans when her world is shaken as someone close to Dane Clark-her billionaire fiance-goes missing. When the news of a kidnapping rocks the Clark Castle, Lola finds herself entwined in a mystery that could require a trip down memory lane.
However, a missing persons report is not the only thing on Lola’s plate. There’s a brownie rivalry between two of the town’s oldest residents, a wedding cake that won’t order itself, and a mother-in-law determined to ruin Lola’s special day. But when the kidnapper’s threats take a turn for the worse, suddenly, all bets are off. If Lola can’t find a way to unveil the kidnapper’s true identity, there won’t be a wedding to ruin . . .

Is someone after the Luzzi family? Or is it all an unfortunate coincidence? Lacey doesn’t plan on waiting around to find out, and neither do the island locals.

There are no witnesses and no leads, and with only a week to go before Christmas, Kate hopes to find her father before the New Year. As Kate begins the hunt for her father, she gets another case added to her plate at the precinct. A local man is gunned down in front of the neighborhood co-op. The fact that he was shot five times points to a story darker than that of a happily married suburban husband.

However, when too many coincidences begin to reveal themselves, Kate worries the story may be more twisted than she could ever imagine.

However, unraveling the killer’s intricate plot isn’t her only problem. She has a cousin who is nowhere to be found. A dangerous hunter has escaped from prison. Ranger X is all but obsessed with his latest case, and she worries it’s consuming him entirely. On top of all that, Lily must make a decision that will affect not only her own life but also the life of the man she loves more than anything else–and once that decision’s made, there’ll be no turning back.

As Lacey waits for Baby Luzzi to make his or her appearance, she’s decided–at her husband’s insistence–to cool her jets on the whole chasing-criminals lifestyle. She’s settled in comfortably as part-time help at her best friend’s bar, and, although the work might be a tad boring after years of explosions and car chases, it’s a safe job, relatively sanitary and uneventful–for most people. Lacey isn’t most people. When Lacey gets caught in the middle of a bank heist, her priceless wedding ring ends up in the hands of three ladies known to the media as the Femme Fatale. The thieves might have gotten away with three heists across the Twin Cities to date, but one hitch they didn’t count on was a pregnant lady scorned. Lacey Luzzi’s hormones are on the fritz, her sugar habits are out of control, and her tears are flowing freely. This time, the robbers picked on the wrong gal. With her due date approaching rapidly, Lacey is bound and determined to recover her ring and put this case behind her…before she’s delivering more than guilty criminals on the job.
