Taking Chances
by Shiloh Walker

Death, love and redemption await.

Talking with the Dead (originally published 11-28-06 in e-book format)
Surrounded by death, a man with a terrible gift reaches for life.

A horrific tragedy blasted open a door in young Michael O'Rourke's mind---cursing him with the ability to talk with the Dead. Nearly two decades later, Michael has moved from victim to survivor, using his abilities to seek out those who would go unjudged.

With his gift, he talks to those who've died violently and seeks out their killers. Only once he's found the murderer, can the victims be at rest. After his last case, the only thing he wants is peace and he hopes to find it in the small town of Mitchell, Indiana.

But something is horribly wrong---the dead are waiting for him there, as well.

Small town sheriff Daisy Crandall is frustrated. The murder investigation she's leading is going nowhere, the few leads she's had haven't panned out. She needs a break---this case is personal and when a stranger arrives, turning up where he shouldn't be, she's suspicious. Finding out that he is more than what he appears to be, should shock her but doesn't. The fact she's highly attracted to him at the worst possible time is a hindrance.

Unfortunately, teaming up with Michael is the only way.

Now it's a race against time before the killer destroys the life of his next victim...

 

Vicious Vixen (originally published 08-12-08 in e-book format)
He's given one chance at redemption---hers and his.

Hired killer, Vixen Markham doesn't have any illusions about life or love. Unable to trust even the one man she lets into her heart, she makes a decision that she'll regret for the rest of her life---which won't be much longer by the looks of things. Loaded with vengeance and a small arsenal of weapons, she's ready to face up to her past and say goodbye to her future, until she's confronted by a pair of eyes she could never forget.

Graeme Mackenzie Lawson lived a hard life. Hard on himself and harder on those who got in his way. Betrayed and murdered, he's given one chance at redemption---but not for himself---for the woman he loved, the woman who killed him.

Can he keep Vixen safe, when she seems determined to lose her life---and her soul?
