Deck the Halls with Books and Blood
It's Christmas, and the small town of Shelter Creek is about to lose its library. Corporate real estate developer Claude Verreau only sees the valuable land it occupies, and delivers an eviction notice. But he hadn't counted on Onyx Delva, the head librarian who has spent the last three years developing the library into a community hub. Onyx will stop at nothing to save it – and she is not the meek librarian Claude expects. In fact, neither is what they seem. Claude and Onyx came to Shelter Creek seeking refuge from their violent pasts. As their paths clash over the fate of the library, their old lives catch up with them and threaten the entire town, forcing them to work together to save the people of Shelter Creek.
Light up the Lab
The academic life has fallen far short of what pathologist Dr. Jack Murdoch had expected, so why not cut a few corners? Jack's handsome charm may let him win over everyone else, but Penny Noelle, the lab manager for the Faculty of Medical Research, sees only his daily violations of the University's lab policies. Yet nothing is ever done about it. Until the night of the Faculty Christmas Party, when Jack's transgressions finally catch up with him. Penny, in the wrong place at the wrong time, is suddenly thrust into a world of violence and danger, all thanks to Jack. Armed only with her detailed knowledge of the research facility – and the keys to every door in the building – Penny must outwit a team of trained killers to save thousands of innocents from deadly diseases ... and redeem Jack's soul.
