So she heads west to join her brother, an ex-cop, for a long weekend of skiing in the mountains. At a picturesque lodge tucked high in the Sierra Nevada, Lucy finds just what she’s looking for: a peaceful retreat undisturbed by Internet, television, and cell phone distractions. She also finds an unexpected group of newlyweds seeking their own idyllic getaway. But finding one of her fellow guests dead wasn’t in the brochure. And neither was the overnight snowstorm that leaves the lodge cut off from the outside world. When Lucy’s brother suspects the honeymooner’s death was foul play, he’s mysteriously stricken ill. Now, to keep him and herself alive, it’s up to aspiring FBI agent Lucy Kincaid to figure out which of the lovebirds trapped in the lodge is really a bird of prey. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Allison Brennan’s upcoming novel Kiss Me, Kill Me as well as an exclusive excerpt from an FBI interview with Lucy Kincaid!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If I Should Die includes Allison Brennan’s chilling novella Love Is Murder, formerly available exclusively as an eBook! A TRIP TO THE DARK SIDE Aspiring FBI agent Lucy Kincaid and her P.I. boyfriend, Sean Rogan, are heading to the Adirondack Mountains for a pleasant romantic getaway when they detour to help troubled friends, owners of a new resort who are battling malicious vandals. After Lucy and Sean pursue an arsonist into an abandoned mine shaft, Lucy stumbles upon an even more heinous crime—and the perfectly preserved remains of its victim. The only thing more disturbing than the discovery of the corpse is its sudden disappearance. While the local police remain skeptical, Lucy is dead certain that there’s a connection between the sabotage at the resort and the murder—one that the less-than-neighborly citizens of Spruce Lake seem to have a stake in keeping hidden. Then, when a cold-blooded sniper targets Sean and Lucy, FBI agent Noah Armstrong enters the fray to ensure that more bodies don’t hit the ground. Now three outsiders race to untangle a violent conspiracy before they end up like the rest of Spruce Lake’s secrets: dead and buried.

The truth is that life is uncertain. Meg Quinn hasn’t been to war, but her father has, and it changed their lives for the worse — and for the better.

The former Marine has been hibernating in his Colorado mountain home, and Meg lets him know that he needs to be by his sister’s side in Milwaukee now.

When tempers flare, and the murders get personal, can author and detective fight their growing attraction all-the-while fighting the killer determined to destroy them both?

For thirty years, FBI scientist Olivia St. Martin has lived with guilt and one abiding certainty–that while she wasn’t able to save her sister’s life, she did testify and helped to convict the rapist and killer. When shocking new evidence exonerates the man Olivia is sure she saw abduct her sister, she breaks every rule in the book to uncover the truth. Driven by the possibility that she put the wrong man behind bars, Olivia discovers that a serial killer has been at large all these years. Believing that the monster has just struck again in Seattle, Olivia leaves her lab and poses as a field agent, sharing her unofficial investigation with a hardworking Seattle cop. Olivia doesn’t want to lie to detective Zack Travis. And she certainly doesn’t want to fall in love. But as the investigation intensifies, Olivia and Zack find that they’re rapidly losing control–over their hearts, their secrets, and a case that threatens to consume them.

Book excerpt: Joy thinks she's falling in love with FBI Agent Richard Fields-but is the man who makes her mind soar and her heart swoon really who he says he is? Those who challenge the Lords of the Universe-a sinister, secret society of new-age fanatics-have a habit of winding up dead from unnaturally 'natural causes.' While witnesses in the case against the LOTU drop like wilted rose petals, FBI expert Richard Fields has been investigating a one-time suspect for the killings, Dr. Joy Clayton. The newly exonerated widow of one of the cult's fanatical leaders, Joy is beautiful, brilliant, and kind-hearted-and Richard is powerless to resist his feelings for her. Soon, their love-affair is just one more secret that could instantly end his career. For Joy, her attraction to Richard is instant and undeniable-but she knows the LOTU aren't the only ones keeping secrets. Burned by seven years of marriage to a psychologically unstable husband, Joy's constantly on edge-and forced to wonder if she can trust the feelings she's developing for the man who burst into her life using a fake identity and fictional cover story. What other shadows lurk in Richard's self-indulgent past? And what will happen when those secrets finally catch up to him? In Beyond Light and Darkness, author D. Pichardo-Johansson steps beyond the dichotomy of right and wrong - painting a vivid and engaging romance between two wounded people, set against the backdrop of a thrilling murder mystery drawn from her years of medical experience. Fans of Kathy Reichs, Patricia Cornwell, and Eliza Ellis will fall in love with the first book in the bold, bright, and unexpected Beyond Romance series.
