The first book in a NEW
detective series that just might make you quit your day job.
Chuck Restic hates his
job. A 20-year career working in the risk-averse world of Human Resources for a
large corporation has left him comfortably numb... and incredibly bored.
So when a co-worker goes
missing without a trace, Chuck ventures out of the confines of his Los Angeles
skyscraper into the great city down below. His search for the missing man leads
him from the shady underworld of Armenian mobsters to the billion-dollar land
developments that serve as the lifeblood of the city. Murder lurks at every
turn.
Chuck's HR background proves
more valuable as a moonlighting private detective than it does in the office. Chuck
may not be your typical detective (he prefers a passive-aggressive approach
over the old-fashioned fisticuffs kind) but he is amusingly effective at
uncovering the truth.
The Chuck Restic series
is a fun romp that mashes traditional mystery with a scathing send-up of
Corporate America.

The Kingsley Series is a series of stand-alone contemporary women’s fiction romance novels, each connected to the next by the bonds of family. Each book in this series follows the personal journey of one of the Kingsley couples – however, each story is continued and updated in the following book. These books can be read in any order, but are best enjoyed in order of publication. This series contains mild sexual content. More Than Friends is the fourth book in the series: Michael Kingsley is a broken man. How could he not be, when the wife he thought he’d love forever, the one he thought would love him forever, just picked up and left him with no explanation? It took him a while, but he’s finally putting his life back together. He’s doing his job, he’s paying his bills – he’s even getting back into his old hobbies. He’s finally doing alright again … mostly. And maybe he does drink too much, but at least he’s finally stopped sleeping around. Now he’s settled on one woman, a curvaceous and flirtatious bartender who never misses an opportunity to warm his bed. But when Michael’s mother ends up in the hospital, it’s his best friend Renee who stays by his side, and he begins to see her in a whole new way. But when they take a step beyond the boundaries of friendship that cannot be undone, what will happen to their relationship? Will they find something more, something neither of them even realized was there? Or will the fear of changing – and maybe losing – their friendship, be the thing that ends it all?** Views: 68
