Redemption In Copper Hollow

A Sapphic Tale (Mining For Justice Book 2)

We're back in the Hollow almost three years later with Blythe, Miranda, and the rest. Lulled into a false sense of normalcy thanks to the pandemic putting off Brooke’s day in court, Blythe begins experiencing more and more interruptions to her life as the trial approaches. Dogged media and lack of self-confidence have Blythe’s nerves unraveling quickly as reality comes back with full force. Court is coming up fast, and tension is building, especially when a new person rides into town on gasoline fumes and something to prove. Blythe isn’t sure she’ll survive.

Molly King has one goal in mind. Get the Brooke Swafford story down in print, become a best seller, and finally stick it to everyone who ever doubted her. Only it's not that easy. She's met with wall after wall in Copper Hollow. No one will talk to her, and she's desperate for insider information. It doesn't help that she's destitute and distracted by a handywoman with scars, tattoos, and the same glint of determination in her eyes as Molly.

Tash Swine has lived a hard life. A career criminal hoping to get her act together, she feels blessed when Blythe Gallamore takes a chance on her and hires Tash as a handywoman to help around the Gallamore property. Tash is steadfast in her goal to make this new life work, and no one, not even the cute, annoying writer who sticks her nose into everything, will deter her from that. Or, at least, that's what she's telling herself.

Life is never easy in Copper Hollow, but with some grit and determination, maybe everyone can have their happily ever after. Even those who don't believe they deserve them. Redemption is the goal, but can they all accomplish it, or will some fail?

Miranda and Brooke can't stand each other, and the stress mounts as Blythe struggles to understand her feelings for the two women. To top it all off, a close loved one is murdered.

Rue's at her wits-end with Niko's suspicious behavior. Things are going to get rocky before they get better, but making up is often the best part especially when it's spicy. It's going to be a Valentine's day they'll never forget.

An Unlikely Partnership

A Lesbian Paranormal Mystery (An Unlikely Tale)

Rue Lovelace was not accustomed to change. She enjoyed her mundane life. So, when her mentor abruptly skips town leaving her in his place as Head Custos witch and new owner of a mystery ring, she doesn’t handle it the best, especially when she finds out part of her new role is to assist the police with Other-world issues. If it got out that she was working with the cops, her family business would be ruined.

An uptick in Other-world crime has workaholic Detective Niko Moscato running on empty, or at least that’s what she’s telling herself. When a man is murdered, her whole world flips upside down upon meeting the sassy witch currently in the Head Custos position. She’s met with a wall of ice that doesn’t help the case. And neither do the new feelings fluttering in her chest.

Both women struggle to navigate the new partnership while keeping a few secrets hidden away. But when the murders start getting a little too close to home, they have to begin doing something neither is good at relying on each other. The pressure is on to solve the case quickly before anyone else is killed. Or their partnership implodes. Either way, it’s going to get messy before it’s all over.

Be sure to check out, An Unlikely Valentine's Day: A Bonus Novelette, to see how Rue and Niko are doing almost two years after An Unlikely Partnership.
