Order State of Alert from Marie’s Store to Read TODAY!

     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Great characters, awesome storylines, an extremely difficult book to put down after the first pages. Lots of laughs, a few tears on occasion but just the most enjoyable read.” Amazon reviewer

The first couple is on full alert, deflecting new threats from near and far…

Lieutenant Sam Holland has seen just about everything as a D.C. homicide detective, but she’s never been asked to lie to her closest colleagues and her husband—until now. With national security on the line, Sam makes a deal with the devil that quickly comes back to haunt her as she assists in a baffling case that leads right back to the Oval Office, where her husband is mourning the loss of his trusted aide, Navy Lieutenant Juan Rodriguez. 

For President Nick Cappuano, the betrayal cuts deep. The military advisers he inherited from the Nelson administration plotted to remove him from office, and now, the young man who warned him of their deceit is dead. But nothing is as it appears, and with the NCIS building a case against the disgraced Joint Chiefs, Nick is forced to carry on with the duties of his office while wondering who’s coming for him next.

Sam no sooner gets one situation under control when another murder victim requires her full attention. A woman tied to an earlier cold case is found dead in her home in a case that’ll have Sam and her team digging deep into the past to find a ruthless killer while wondering if they should be looking much closer to home for the person who wanted her dead.

As if they didn’t have enough to worry about, a new threat to their happy family has them considering drastic measures to protect the ones they love the most. While storms rage all around them, Sam and Nick take refuge in each other and find the strength they need to carry on.

I come home to find him passed out on the floor…

Lexi
Almost three years after losing my husband, Jim, to ALS, I’ve started to emerge from the fog of widowhood, thanks in large part to my sexy roommate—and former high school crush—Tom Hammett. When he offered me a suite in his spacious home, he got me out of my parents’ basement where I’d lived with Jim during his illness and since his death. But now Tom is experiencing a health crisis, and I’m not sure I have it in me to go down that road again, even if I suspect I might be falling in love with him. I have to decide if I can risk losing my fragile heart to another man with a potentially life-threatening health condition.

Tom
My heart attack is the worst possible thing that could’ve happened, especially since Lexi was the one to find me in distress. She’s come so far in the nine months we’ve lived together, and I’ve felt us inching toward something deeper lately. After losing my dad to a widow-maker heart attack when I was a teenager, I hate that I’m inflicting similar trauma on Lexi and my sisters. I’m determined to do everything in my power to return to full health so I can be the partner Lexi needs and deserves. Little does she know that I too had a massive crush on her in high school, but she was too young for me then. Now, she’s perfect for me, and I want to be perfect for her, too.

Come along as Lexi’s Wild Widow chapter two story with Tom unfolds along with updates on some of our other favorite characters. We’ll also meet two new widows in need of the special love and support only the Wild Widows can provide.

“I usually don’t write reviews, but the Wild Widow Series has meant a lot to me. I became a widow at 44 with 3 grieving children at home. These books capture the truth, heartache, and loneliness of being a widow. I have joined the wild widows club in my heart and love each of their stories of trials, finding love again, and supporting each other. Looking forward to the next book in the series.” 5 Stars

Who says you can’t go home again?

For years, Kara Ballard Torrington has kept her distance from the town in Maine where she was raised and the boisterous, often-troubled Ballard family. She’s made a whole new life for herself on Gansett Island that is upended by a phone call in which she learns that two of her brothers have been accused of murder. When her parents ask her husband, celebrated attorney Dan Torrington, to come help them, Kara is forced to confront the drama she left behind in Maine as well as a whole new set of issues that have arisen in her absence. As Dan works to free her brothers, Kara confronts some of the unfinished business she left behind in Maine. 

One of our favorite couples from the Gansett Island Series takes a fraught journey to Kara’s hometown, where their bond becomes even stronger as they face these new challenges together—with a goal of returning home to Gansett before their baby is born.

For more about Dan & Kara’s story, make sure you’ve read Dan & Kara: A Downeast Prequel.

In the Air Tonight Now Available!

I was there. I saw what you did.

Blaise

I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward. 

Connections run deep in our small town. 

I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things. 

I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I’d known all my life. I’ve been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised. 

Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps.

I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge for another second. 

Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light…even if they have to kill me. 

In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life and to right a terrible wrong.

Content warning: A sexual assault storyline may be upsetting to some readers.
