Gretchen Schultz inhaled the glorious aroma of her chocolate cakes. Every year just as she geared up for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, the siege by the town’s women began. Her so-called friends mounted an assault to steal her recipe. How could she halt the incessant hounding? Gretchen must arrange something appropriate.

The Bavarian Drop Killer by Cherri Galbiati
Rina Blakely, out for a morning jog with her dog, finds one of her co-workers murdered. It is the third murder in six months, leaving the women in Sandy Creek, Texas, filled with fear.

Abused and controlled by her husband for years, she turns her anger on her unsuspecting employers and invites them to stay for a special box of chocolates and a game of truth or dare.

Getting a Clue by Pauline Baird Jones
A Hatfield and a McCoy had a better chance of getting together than a Trapini and a Molony, but there's not enough chocolate in the world to stop the heart from wanting what it wants.

JADEAD by Iona McAvoy
Chocolate martinis mix with chocolate marbles and death. While hosting a gala event for her mother’s pet charity, Camellia Nordin finds mystery, new love and frightening legends. While avoiding her mother’s fashion make over from her rock climbing gear to fashion diva, Camellia struggles to discover who really attacked the greedy fiancee of her brother’s ex-bimbo.

Cowboy Hank returns to ride in Ft. Worth, Texas' Stock Show and Rodeo when he comes face to face with a gun toting man aiming the barrel of a six-shooter right between his eyes. The shooter demands he hand over a package and he won't take 'No' for an answer. Hank has no idea what he's talking about. Hank soon discovers his chances of staying alive are much better on the buckin' bulls than working his way through this mysterious maze of suspense.

Writer and amateur sleuth Jessie Carr creates “entertainments” for Texas B&Bs while she carries out various legal and extra-legal jobs on the side, sometimes as an Avenging Angel. While out riding her motorcycle one summer evening, she’s terrorized by a rogue cop who gets away with it. When a Houston debutante is arrested for a sex crime (selling “marital aids”) and asks for Jessie’s help, guess who’s the arresting officer? Jessie gets sweet revenge.
