Summary
Rowan Gray is a former photojournalist starting a new life on The Bounding Storm, one of the Atlantic Ocean's most decadent cruise ships. She's friendly and excited for her new career...but she's also hiding a secret. Quinn Davenport left a career in the military to become head of security on The Bounding Storm. He expected drinking infractions and the occasional pickpocket, but what he gets is so much more. When a young woman goes missing, Quinn is suspicious of Rowan's interest in the case. For her part, the worried photographer is desperate to find the girl and keep her secret safe from Quinn's pointed questions. The problem for both of them is that they're madly attracted to one another - although neither wants to admit it - and they can't quite manage to stay away from one another. Quinn and Rowan find themselves in an unusual situation. They have a missing girl, suspects they can't pin down and a group of friends that is acting out of sorts. When a second girl appears to be in imminent peril, Quinn isn't sure how to handle the situation but he's determined to help...and Rowan refuses to let him do it alone. Death is haunting The Bounding Storm. Will Rowan make it off her first cruise alive? Quinn pledges to do just that, but when a killer focuses on Rowan, several lives are destined to collide. Set sail for adventure. It's going to be a turbulent trip.

Perilous Seas
Summary
Her father may be back in her life, but things are hardly smooth sailing for Rowan Gray. He faked his death to get away from a group of people investigating psychic abilities - a group he is convinced is still out to get him - and he’s positive the group want his daughter for the same nefarious reasons. Rowan is simply happy to have him in her life. She gets to spend time with him and her uncle and plot for a future they might never have. All that’s thrown into turmoil when The Bounding Storm, the cruise ship where Rowan works, stumbles across a family that’s been lost at sea for weeks. Only some of them are on the rescue ship her boyfriend Quinn Davenport brings back, though. The rest are missing and lost. What happened to the other family members? That’s the question on everybody’s lips as the media descends. The family at the center of the rescue is rich, essentially American royalty...and the horror of what they went through makes for a terrible tale. The problem is...the story doesn’t hold water. When a hand belonging to one of the deceased washes up on the beach, miles away from where the family went missing, things start to fall apart...and fast. It’s up to Rowan and Quinn to discover the truth while working on their own investigation into a group of people that may well mean to do Rowan harm. It makes for a busy - and dangerous - few days. All they have to do is survive to find the answers they seek. That’s easier said than done.

Mustang Summer
Summary
If only his family wasn't putting her brother in jail. Brock Walker, part-time mechanic and full-time farmer, prefers figuring out what’s wrong with an engine over deciphering people’s actions — especially women. But when his standard aloofness prevents him from landing the classic car of his dreams, help comes from an unexpected source: the sister of the man his family put in jail. Josie Alvarez, part-time bookkeeper and full-time Daddy’s girl, knows the last chance for her father’s failing garage is the collectible car she’s been sent to acquire. But after hearing the history under the hood, she can’t bear to hand it over to her dad, who’d just flip it and sell it. Bad blood between her family and Brock’s doesn’t overshadow his passion for the classic car, so she jumps in to help Brock negotiate the car’s future. Walking away from the car proves easier than leaving the quiet mechanic. He’s refreshingly different from the other men in her life, opening her eyes to her own potential. And she’s the only woman to ever accept him as he is, without underestimating or coddling him. Brock’s cousins don’t want her on Walker land, but he wholeheartedly disagrees…until Josie’s desperate father comes up with a plan that’ll save himself, but pit family against family.

Dangerous Seas
Summary
Ten years ago, Rowan Gray’s father didn’t return from a routine day at work. The police believed he accidentally drove into a nearby lake thanks to inclement weather, but no sign of him or the car he was driving was ever found. Now, Rowan Gray is a photographer on a cruise ship. She’s in love with the head of security Quinn Davenport, and living a life she never thought possible. Things are going well…and her father is back. Paul Gray is going by another name but he’s a guest on The Bounding Storm, which happens to be hosting a group of high-profile authors from across the world. And, yes, Rowan’s father is among them. The reunion process doesn’t exactly go smoothly, especially when the most famous author in the bunch turns up dead. Julia West wasn’t a pleasant woman, but she had a legion of fans. The problem facing Rowan and Quinn is they can’t figure out who’s to blame. Was it one of the other authors? An errant fan who somehow snuck on board? Or the diabolical enemy that forced Paul Gray to abandon his only daughter a decade before? The stakes are high as the truth comes out. The only thing that’s absolutely certain is that Rowan and Quinn’s lives will never be the same again…if they can hold onto their lives, that is. Nothing is a given in this brave new world.

Choppy Seas
Summary
Rowan Gray has a lot on her mind. Between her uncle dropping a bomb about the father she believed dead actually being alive and a mountain of feuding cheerleaders descending on The Bounding Storm, Rowan can’t quite seem to get a handle on her emotions. She has a job to do and opts to focus on that rather than her missing uncle - which is the professional thing, of course - but her mind is a busy place to visit. When the infamous omen pops up, it seems one of the warring cheer coaches is in trouble. Rowan dedicates herself to finding who might have murder on the mind, but distraction is around every corner. Things only get weirder when one of the girls from a rival team goes missing, and the symbol on the first photograph changes to something Rowan doesn’t recognize. Her boyfriend, Quinn Davenport, suggests Rowan’s powers are growing, but that’s the last thing she wants to grapple with. Her focus is on an at-risk girl who no one can seem to find. Things are about to get loud, mean and nasty...and the danger is closer than anyone realizes. Rowan is ready for a fight, but the enemy might just be bigger and badder than she realizes, and when death starts stalking her, it might already be too late.

Into the Abyss
Summary
"Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster. For, when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." (Friedrich Nietzsche) The Violet Darger series continues with this gripping novella Into the Abyss. Will Violet Darger agree to a face-to-face meeting with the man who shot her? Still awaiting trial, the infamous serial killer Leonard Stump has hinted at the locations of additional bodies - more desert graves waiting to be uncovered. He wants to talk, but he has one condition. Violet Darger must be present at the interview. Now, the pressure is on. Should Darger head to Vegas and sit down with Stump? Everyone else seems to think so. It’s a chance to close some cases and give families closure, they say. A chance to learn something crucial about the criminal mind, they say. A chance to do something good. So, why does Darger feel like it’s all going to go terribly wrong? While the Violet Darger novels can be listened to in any order, we recommend listening to this short after having listened to the earlier books in the series.

Night on Fire
Summary
Fire crawls up the sides of the church. The orange glow thrashes. Blackens the siding. Climbs up onto the steeple. The flames close in on the wedding party trapped inside. When a serial arsonist terrorizes Los Angeles county, FBI profiler Violet Darger heads over to California to investigate. The fires keep coming faster. The body count rises, and the threat hangs over the city as thick as the smog. The case file is brutal - stuffed with photographs of charred bodies, human faces melted beyond recognition. And when Darger gets up close to the crimes - the real thing - that sense of savagery only intensifies. What kind of a person could carry out such cruelties? Understanding the warped psychology will be the key to solving the case. The suspect seems hellbent on creating a spectacle. Bigger targets. More deaths. He treats setting fires like a Hollywood special effects sequence, like he's building up to the shocking finale. Watch the city burn. It's entertainment. And there's one more factor complicating the investigation: Autumn is settling in over Southern California. The leaves are changing color, and the Santa Ana winds have begun to change directions. The Hollywood Hills are ripe for a forest fire. The arsonist means to make it the biggest one yet. A pause-resister packed with heart-stopping suspense. Fans of John Sandford, Michael Connelly, Lisa Regan, and Lisa Gardner should check out the Violet Darger series.
