Title: A Death in the Small Hours
Author: Charles Finch
Chapter Dates
Synopsis: Charles Lenox is at the pinnacle of his political career and is a delighted new father. His days of regularly investigating the crimes of Victorian London now some years behind him, he plans a trip to his uncle’s estate, Somerset, in the expectation of a few calm weeks to write an important speech. When he arrives in the quiet village of Plumley, however, what greets him is a series of strange vandalisms upon the local shops: broken windows, minor thefts, threatening scrawls.
Only when a far more serious crime is committed does he begin to understand the great stakes of those events, and the complex and sinister mind that is wreaking fear and suspicion in Plumley. Now, with his protégé, John Dallington, at his side, the race is on for Lenox to find the culprit before he strikes again. And this time his victim may be someone that Lenox loves.

Author: Tiffany Reisz
Chapter Dates
Synopsis: Exquisite pain is one thing– mortal danger is quite another
Wesley Railey is young, handsome and still the object of Nora Sutherlin’s tamest yet most maddening fantasies. He’s the one Nora can’t forget, despite her on-again, off-again relationship with her first and most dangerous lover, Søren. Wes is also horse-racing royalty in Kentucky, and on his arm notorious Nora mixes with very aristocratic company-the likes of which a New York City dominatrix would ordinarily never meet. But they’ve got their own dirty secrets: Nora discovers a chilling scam run by rival horse owners with mob ties and violent methods for keeping people quiet.
But Nora is no simpering Southern belle, and her dream of fitting into Wesley’s world is running up against her bone-deep instinct for survival-and Søren’s relentlessly seductive pull. Before the end, new enemies will strike as surely as old flames can still singe….
