Book Description
New York Times bestselling author and former Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Kate White knows firsthand that the magazine business is murder. The smart and gutsy crime writer Bailey Weggins returns for a case set against the glossy pages of a celebrity rag where somebody is about to give Bailey's new boss a lethal deadline. Talk about rapid turnover-in a matter of days Bailey Weggins gets axed from one New York magazine and hired by another. Her new job at Buzz, a weekly filled with sizzling gossip, has Bailey covering celebrity crime, including the starlet who got caught stuffing Fendi purses down her pants and the aging hunk who shot his lover with a Magnum. Bailey doesn't have to look far for her next story: she finds her boss, Mona Hodges, gasping her last breath after being bludgeoned with a blunt object. A raging tyrant, Mona made Buzz a top 'zine but racked up an impressive list of enemies along the way. Everyone from a chubby singer she dubbed "Fat Chance" to a mail guy she once reamed out would be glad to see Mona six feet under. And Bailey Weggins intends to get the scoop on whodunit even though one of her closest friends is at the top of the suspects list. With her strappy sandals in one hand and her cell phone in the other, Bailey's out hunting for clues everywhere from the mean streets of Brooklyn's Little Odessa to a posh company picnic in the Hamptons. In just about a New York minute she's got a crush on a sexy filmmaker-and some scary insight into her boss's murder. The first can give her the hot summer fling she's itching to have. The second can get her killed...

Served Cold

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
For the Viel and Powers families, revenge served cold is not on the menu. Fuelled by a long-standing feud between the clan patriarchs, nothing less than hot-blooded vengeance will do... When Sean is called to the bedside of his dying father in Atlanta, he never expects what is waiting for him there. In the hospital room he learns Walter, the man who raised him, isn’t his father. Walter tells Sean the story about his true parents and a feud between two families, a feud that goes horribly wrong. Gregory Powers and Skipper Viel hold reign over a network of powerful Toronto business interests. For years the balance of power has remained intact. But when Powers discovers the love affair between his daughter, Jenn, and the young Marshall Viel, son of his enemy, a deadly game tips the balance. In a violent power play, he decides to have her lover killed, sending a clear signal to his nemesis, Skipper Viel. In hot-blooded retaliation, Viel arranges a hit on the Powers’ family, drawing a special target on the head of Gregory Powers’ most prized possession: his daughter. Rocky –trusted bodyguard and driver with a few shady connections of his own – escapes with Jenn to the presumed safety and anonymity of Lockport, New York. But no place on Earth is safe from all-out revenge. As the assassins close in, Rocky narrowly escapes with baby Sean and goes into hiding, creating a new identity. Disappearing into another world, he is able to raise Sean in peace for many years. Faced with this incredible story, Sean decides to go to Canada – out of curiosity about his family roots and a growing need for some act of revenge for the past, to seek atonement for the parents that were lost to him. What he finds when he gets there will force him to make a choice: to succumb to the path set before him by heritage, or to turn away and forego the desire for vengeance pulsing in his veins?
