About Riddles, Rogues, and Murders

 

Riddles, Rogues and Murders: A Twisty Cozy Mystery (A Stacie Maroni Mystery) Cozy Mystery 12th in Series Setting - Virginia Independently Published Publication date ‏ : ‎ February 23, 2026 Print Length - 230 Pages Digital ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 979-8993350219 ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0GH4BXFZY Other formats will be available too. 

What begins as a blissful ladies’ spa day meant for rest and renewal turns deadly when a striking young model is found murdered in the parking lot. Amateur sleuth Stacie Maroni is the one who discovers the body, notifies the police, and studies the woman and her jewelry. A bit obsessive about things matching, Stacie wonders at the silver earring mixed with everything else gold. Litle does she know someone nearby is filming her. As rumors swirl and clues surface, Stacie notices unsettling details: two men of average build, both wearing dark wedding bands, and threats against her and Jasper—someone believes she has something worth killing for.

With a brash, womanizing FBI agent jumping to dangerous conclusions and pressure mounting from all sides, Stacie finds herself pulled deeper into a mystery she never intended to solve. As tensions rise and threats close in, she must rely on her instincts and her friends to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again or the FBI agent arrests her for the murder. In this seemingly cozy town, even with her police connections, danger lurks around every corner.

A twisty tale for cozy mystery fans.

About Black Cat and the Immigrant Child

 

Black Cat and the Immigrant Child (A Black Cat Mystery) Cozy Mystery 5th in Series Setting - Texas Publisher ‏ : ‎ Michael L.

A tale of corruption and deceit met with compassion and tenacity.

Kimberlee, Dorian, and their pets return to Grandmother Lassiter’s multimillion-dollar horse ranch on the Mexico/Texas border to settle her affairs following her demise.

On their first day in Texas, an illegal immigrant, likely carrying drugs, is found murdered on the Lassiter ranch. A six-year-old girl is at his side.

Black Cat and Angel overhear a ranch hand admit to the murder and declare to eliminate the child who witnessed his crime.

Determined to shelter the little girl, the family is thrust into affairs that include intrigue, humor, and mystery. Join the family as they ride with wild horses and search for a notorious Wild West bandit's undiscovered stolen treasure.

Black Cat joins forces with Murphy, his Maine Coon rival and compatriot, and Cedric, the resident barn rat, in an attempt to prevent another murder and capture the miscreant.

Sprinkled generously with Black Cat and Angel’s humorous relationship and interactions, this is another story that will delight Black Cat’s fans, cat lovers, or readers who enjoy light mysteries and humor.

🔥Marriage of Convenience

🔥Hidden Identity

🔥He Falls First

🔥Cinnamon Roll MMC

🔥Injury/Comfort

🔥Quest

 

Secrets are the only way to stay safe.

 

Esha must keep her true identity a secret or risk the life of the most important person to her. She isn’t Feldor’s princess like the kingdom of Solven thinks she is. Her goal is simple: broker a marriage between herself and Solven’s crown prince to fight a monster and save the kingdom of Feldor. She doesn’t have time for love or romance.

 

But the wrong prince has decided she’s the object of his desire.

 

Kasteel will never be king. He has never wanted the responsibilities or trappings of the crown–until her. Esha may have been meant for his younger brother, but he’ll stop at nothing to have her. Even if it means risking his life. Or revealing a secret he can’t afford to get out, a truth that could change everything.

 

Kasteel will pledge his hand and sword to Esha’s cause: protect the kingdoms against the monstrous netvor.

 

Except monsters aren’t the only things hiding in the shadows. All secrets must come out. And falling for the wrong brother might be the thing that saves them all.

🔥3RD Person POV

He'll do anything to save her, except claim her as his own.

When Zeke Vorderstrasse returns home from deployment, he expects the same chaos his family always brings—music, food, and too many opinions. What he doesn’t expect is Iris—a beautiful, soft-spoken young mother with eyes full of secrets and a baby in her arms.

Iris is rebuilding her life after escaping the wreckage of her traumatic past. Living under the protection of Enzo Ramirez, the paramedic who helped her start over, she’s learning how to trust not only others, but herself as well.

Zeke feels the pull from the moment they meet—but must bury his attraction when he realizes Iris is the mysterious woman his cousin Enzo has already proclaimed feelings for.

Over the months that follow, shared dinners blur into something deeper. When tragedy strikes and Enzo is killed in the line of duty, their grief binds Zeke and Iris together in ways neither of them are prepared for.

Now, as they navigate loss, loyalty, and the slow, fragile bloom of something that feels like love, Zeke must face the hardest truth of all: sometimes doing the right thing means risking everything.

In the small West Texas town of Whynot, why not let love bloom in the most unlikely place?

After breaking up with my boyfriend, getting fired from my dream job, and escaping to a small town where no one knows me—I make two promises to myself.

No more hiding who I am. No more letting chances pass me by.

Those promises are the perfect way to ruin my life all over again.

Dallas Whynot. He’s the kind and muscled mechanic who has a little free library in his yard and a primal kink.

June Moore. She’s the tattooed, pink-haired florist who’s tougher than nails and sweeter than a rose.

Running off to Whynot for an artist residency is exactly what I need. What I don’t need is to start a new relationship with one person, let alone two.

With that in mind, the three of us strike a deal I can’t resist.

Six weeks of hot, kinky sex. No attachments. No feelings. Just friends with benefits.

Which would be perfect if I weren’t already falling for them both…

 

In this FFM small town romance, you’ll find:

Best Friend’s Older Brother

Friends to Lovers

MMC who loves books

A mechanic, florist, and animator

Hurt/Comfort

Primal chasing

& more
