A mystery writer trying to gain the respect her craft deserves runs afoul of a caustic talk-show host who hates mystery writers with a passion that engulfs them both. Yesterday they were strangers ... today they're the talk of the town!

Samantha McCall might look like a hot and spicy romance author, but writing under the name Sam McCall, she pens murder mysteries ... the kind that keep readers up all night. Samantha's agent promises her big break will come with a last-minute scheduled appearance on a popular nighttime TV talk show. Samantha knows the host's reputation and is not so sure that's a good idea.

Acid-tongued talk-show host Tony Garrett hates the mystery genre and despises the writers even more. Without even seeing the author about to appear on stage with him, he maligns 'Mr.' McCall as a hack - but changes his mind the moment Samantha makes her entrance. When she slaps him square on the jaw and storms off-stage, their nationally televised feud skyrockets the show's ratings.

Tony Garrett keeps his heart closely guarded, but he's uncontrollably smitten after that one encounter with the feisty redhead. Samantha McCall wants nothing more to do with the caustic celebrity host after their embarrassing public rivalry. Can he convince her they belong together ... and will she let him get close enough to try? With the public clamoring for more on-stage fireworks, a rematch seems inevitable. Whatever these two do is sure to end up ... the talk of the town!

Rating: Mildly graphic sexual content and language.

A Colorado man devolves back to the wild when he suffers a supernatural transformation from mild-mannered farmer to vengeful killer werewolf.

Dan Tucker’s amaking a living on his small Colorado ranch until his life changes dramatically the night he’s attacked while trying to defend his livestock from a mutant wolf. In a life-and-death battle, Dan manages to kill the animal and save its head to have it tested for rabies. But when he fetches the head from his cooler the next morning, he finds a man’s head instead. Fearing no one will believe a wild story about a wolf-like creature returning to human form after he killed it in self-defense, he goes about covering up the murder by disposing of the body. But his troubles don't stop there.

He discovers the strange shape-shifting power possessed by the man he killed is now his to wield. With that power he finds new self-confidence that leads to a blossoming romance but also to an escalating conflict with a troublesome neighbor bent on destroying the natural beauty surrounding their small community. When the neighbor turns up missing, Dan’s best friend, a county deputy, begins to suspect Dan of foul play. Guilt over his unsavory actions and his quick surrender to revenge sends Dan into an emotional tailspin that threatens his love relationship, his friendship, and his sanity.

The author has crafted a fast-paced grisly tale of revenge and skewed hope that is worth reading not only for its underlying message of respect for nature and its psychological study of an ordinary man thrust into abnormal circumstances, but for the pure entertainment value with the added treats of tension and suspense.

Rating: Contains graphic violence and imagery, some mild sexual content, and some adult language (profanity). Intended for adult readers.
