A missing girl from the past. A monster from the present... When Bethany Stafford-Lyons accepted a position as personal assistant at Sirius Consulting, she didn't expect to become embroiled in the murky world of American politics within a week of starting the job, but with money tight, she has little choice but to follow her new boss Alaric McLain overseas. Together with Emmy Black, Alaric's ex-girlfriend, they find themselves back on the trail of a stolen painting, but that's not the only mystery they have to solve. Fourteen years ago, teenage homecoming queen Piper Simms disappeared, and finding her might be the only way to stop a criminal from stealing a seat in the US senate. Catching a killer is all in a day's work for Emmy Black, but her world is rocked by a betrayal from somebody very close to her. Can she fight back? Or will a ghost from the past destroy her future?

Sometimes love can be found when you least expect it... Akari Takeda walked on the dark side for fifteen years until death gave her the chance at a new life. Determined not to waste the time she has left, she moves to Boston with her young son to follow her dream of becoming a pianist. But three men get in her way-Jansen, the skilled but uptight violinist, easygoing Jude, who understands how important coffee is to a girl, and Lincoln, the smooth-talking janitor who looks good in leather. Which of them will steal her heart, and who isn't everything they seem? Oxygen is a full-length novel with no cliffhanger following one of the side characters from the Blackwood Security series.
