      <image:caption>Death, crop circles, and one very inconveniently attractive distraction…Mallory Hemingway dreams of becoming a serious journalist, but for now, she’s stuck answering phones for a sexist boss, dating a guy who loves himself more than her, and wondering if this is really all life has to offer. When a hot tip about a crop circle leads her to a gruesome murder scene, Mallory sees her chance to break a real story—if she doesn’t get herself killed first. Between nosy neighbors, corporate corruption, and a mystery that keeps getting twistier, she barely has time to mourn her train-wreck of a relationship. But one unexpected complication? The infuriatingly charming man who keeps crossing her path. He might be a suspect. He might be her next mistake. Either way, he’s a distraction she doesn’t need… or maybe exactly what she does. If Mallory makes it out of this mess alive, she’s leaving town for good. No more dead-end jobs, no more bad boyfriends, and definitely no more murder. Probably.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rom-Com Mystery - Dancing with Danger</image:title>
      <image:caption>From author Kimberly Griggs comes a hula-va Hawaiian mystery! What's a Southern Belle to do when she dreams of being a hula dancer? Move to Hawaii, of course! Native Georgian Ruby Bell has her work cut out for her finding her niche among hip-swaying dancers of Kauai. But when she creates Hula Fit, a unique fusion of fitness and Hawaiian culture, she lands herself a job at the premier Aloha Lagoon Resort and Spa. Her class sparks attention from locals and vacationers alike, making Ruby feel she's finally found her bliss. Unfortunately things go from delightful to downright deadly when Ruby discovers her new friend, Phoebe, strangled by a coconut bra in the back of Ruby's studio! With the local police investigating on "island time," Ruby fears it's up to her to find a killer, save her studio's reputation, and bring justice to her friend's memory. Navigating through a maze of deceit and betrayal, Ruby uncovers a cast of suspects more colorful than an island sunset, including a bodybuilder ex-boyfriend with a volatile temper, a troupe of senior citizens caught at a clothing-optional pool party, a jealous rival, an awkward admirer, and even the hunky owner of the local Smoothie Hut who seems to have his eye on Ruby. Between blackmail, deception, and a mysterious box of incriminating photos, Ruby finds herself tangled in a deadly dance. Can she hula her way through the shadows and unmask the killer... before the music stops for good?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>From USA Today bestselling author Dane McCaslin &amp; Kimberly Griggs comes a deadly day in paradise... When photographer Autumn Season lands the job of official photographer at the prestigious Aloha Lagoon Resort, she's ecstatic. But a lively luau suddenly turns deadly, and Autumn realizes she may have accidentally snapped a picture of a murder in progress! Now the killer will go to any lengths to protect his (or her) identity, and Autumn is clearly in their sights. With the help of her best friend, super hottie, and head of the Aloha Lagoon Resort Security, Jimmy Toki, Autumn sets out to find the killer's identity before the killer finds her. What do stolen camera equipment, a bossy busty blonde, and a group of jealous surfers have to do with it all? Autumn isn't sure, but when another luau ends in another body, Aloha Lagoon might be headed for infamy instead of fame. If Autumn doesn't get to the bottom of it all soon, she may just be the next victim to wipe out!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rom-Com Mystery - Love, Lies, and a Dead Guy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mallory Hemingway is ready for a do-over. Trading in small-town drama for the salty breeze and sun-drenched streets of Key West, she’s determined to embrace her new life—one filled with writing, late-night barhopping on Duval, and absolutely no romantic distractions… or so she thinks. Her new gig as the nighttime caretaker at the Hemingway Home and Museum seems like the perfect start. She’s got a feisty hippie best friend, a moody cat who occasionally tolerates her, and a frustratingly attractive scuba instructor who seems interested in more than just diving. But paradise comes with a few complications. Someone keeps leaving the museum gate open, and Mallory’s the one getting blamed. The drunken ramblings of a local pirate keep warning her to leave while she still can. And just when she thinks things can’t get worse—a dead body surfaces in Hemingway’s famous pool, and Mallory’s in the hot seat with an infuriating detective who's entirely too tempting. With the help of her quirky best friend and the hot scuba instructor who’s more than willing to lend a hand, Mallory is determined to clear her name. Between nasty coworkers, shady black-market kitten dealers, and an unsettling number of Hemingway lookalikes, Mallory’s fresh start is starting to feel less like paradise and more like a total disaster. It's sink or swim—and if Mallory's not careful, she'll be the one drowning.</image:caption>
