Available for the first time together in one volume, the final two stories in the Brown and De Luca series from New York Times bestselling author Maggie Shayne. Innocent Prey Self-help superstar Rachel de Luca and Detective Mason Brown have finally given in to their overwhelming attraction to each other, but neither of them is ready to let physical passion turn into full-blown romance. When a judge’s daughter disappears, Mason has a terrible sense that it’s connected to the most recent case they solved together. The discovery of a string of missing women—all young, all troubled—seems like a promising lead. But there’s no clear connection between the missing girls. He realizes that once again he’ll have to rely on his own well-honed instincts and Rachel’s uncanny capacity to see through people’s lies in order to catch a predator and rescue his captives. But can they do it before Rachel becomes his next victim? Deadly Obsession Rachel de Luca has a bad feeling about the new woman in Detective Mason Brown’s life, the nurse taking care of him after he’s injured in the line of duty. She’d like to think it’s just jealousy, but intuition tells her it’s something more, maybe something dangerous. Mason knows Rachel’s wary of commitment, and asking her to stay when he’s in this condition would be the worst thing for their relationship. Then they receive chilling news: Mason’s psychotic sister-in-law has escaped from custody, and her sons—the nephews Mason is raising—are missing and the clock is ticking. As Mason and Rachel try to find the boys, she senses a new and unexpected danger stalking them. Soon, everyone close to Mason is in deadly peril—Rachel more than anyone….

From USA TODAY bestselling authors comes a special 3-in-1 in which one magic candle beings hope and love to three women. Three short stories in which the wintry magic of Crescent Cove, Vermont, reaches out to touch three very different women during the holiday season.

Women are vanishing and the quiet town of Endover seems to be under a thrall... because it is. A powerful and ancient vampire, possibly the very first of his kind, has taken the town over, and his victims have no one to turn to for help. No one, that is, except for Maxine Stuart. Mad Max has been digging into conspiracy theories about the undead since her teens, and now she has two secret weapons--the cop she adores and is determined to bed despite his resistance, Lou Malone, and her best friend Tempest \"Stormy\" Jones. Once in Endover, however, Stormy falls victim to inexplicable visions and odd fugue states, and it soon becomes apparent that this entire vampiric attack has been little more than performance art designed to get the three of them right where the vampire wants them. And they have no idea why. Lou''s an ordinary mortal man. His ability to resist Maxie''s allure is as doomed to fail as his efforts to protect her and Stormy from the most dangerous vampire of them all. And yet, he will try... even if it kills him.
