Éclair
and Present Danger: Laura Bradford
With her rent rising faster than her pie crust, bakery
owner Winnie Johnson had hoped to be rescued by an
inheritance from her wealthy friend and neighbor
Gertrude Redenbacher. Instead all she inherits is the
widow's hostile hissing tabby, Lovey, and a vintage
ambulance, restored by Gertrude's late husband. As her
dream crumbles, Winnie makes her final delivery - a
peach pie to an elderly widower. But she finds Bart
Wagner lying on his kitchen floor, smothered by a
pillow. To comfort her frightened and grieving
neighbors, Winnie comes to the rescue with her baked
goods - and an idea is born: dessert delivery via her
ambulance and a new business called the Emergency
Dessert Squad. When she's not speeding to the scenes of
dessert emergencies, Winnie is also racing to track down
Bart's killer - before she needs to call a real
ambulance for the next victim.

her. Showing up at the eatery ready to negotiate, Amy is

of Deception (Psychic Eye): Victoria Laurie
A ticked-off judge has tossed Abby in the slammer for
contempt of court, and during her brief but unpleasant
stay she learns the story of a condemned woman who is
confronting a far more serious sentence. Skyler Miller

woman doesn't belong behind bars. With the help of her
husband Dutch and her friend Candice, Abby launches into
her own investigation to clear Skyler and find the real
killer. But after a final appeal is denied and Skyler's
attorney scrambles for a stay of execution, time is

There's no margin for error as the life of an innocent

False
Positive: Andrew Grant
Alabama detective Cooper Devereaux makes no apologies
for his luxe lifestyle or the way he does his job. Most
cops haven't lived the kind of life he has - starting
out as an orphan, raised by a grizzled cop savior - and
most don't use his kind of high-risk tactics. But he may
have met his match in fellow detective Jan Loflin, who's
fresh off a long undercover stint in Vice when they're
partnered on a case that will test them both beyond
their direst nightmares. A seven-year-old boy has
disappeared from his home in the Birmingham suburbs. But
the more Devereaux digs into the missing child's
background, the more he discovers about his own,
eventually shaking loose a series of harrowing truths -
about bloodlines, mass murder, obsession, and what two
damaged detectives have in common with the innocent
victim they're so desperate to save.

A brilliant, deeply dedicated psychologist, Grace Blades
has a gift for treating troubled souls and tormented

vengeance. Both Grace and her newest patient are stunned
when they recognize each other from a recent encounter.
Haunted by his bleak past, mild-mannered Andrew Toner is
desperate for Grace's renowned therapeutic expertise and
more than willing to ignore their connection. And while
Grace is tempted to explore his case, which seems to
eerily echo her grim early years, she refuses - a
decision she regrets when a homicide detective appears
on her doorstep.
