Partners in Crime
Special Agent Thomasin "Tam" Kirkbride built her career on the conviction of Emeka Vandersloot, the most gifted forger on the Eastern Seaboard. When a fake-of-a-fake surfaces in Providence, the Bureau hands her a partner she'd rather arrest again and a legend she can't refuse: two months undercover as an engaged couple of restorers at Cormorant House, where collector Anselm Varga-Ho is quietly turning forgers into fall guys. Between one bed, six weeks of proximity, and a mole inside her own office, Tam and Emeka discover that the lie they're performing is the truest thing either of them has ever done — and that saving each other will cost them the exact things they came in protecting.
Wrong Number
Linnea Wex gets a warning text sent to the wrong phone — except it uses her real name and her exact route home. As she trades messages with 'C,' a man who insists he's protecting her, a second number begins photographing her flat, and she discovers the wrong number was no accident at all. To survive the launderer hunting her, Linnea must decide whether to trust a stranger who already knows her — and who turns out to be someone she's met.
Off the Clock, On the Record
Iolanthe "Yola" Vetterli arrives at The Ostrander with a ninety-day mandate, a signed conduct rider that makes one HR complaint career-ending, and no idea her employer already intends to gut the building. Ottoline "Otto" Sarkis-Reyes has run the hotel's nights for six years and has been quietly giving away forty rooms a night under a ledger nobody's opened since 1927. What starts as a rule — nothing after 2 a.m. counts — becomes a secret relationship conducted in stairwells, out-of-order rooms and blind spots, until the same paper trail that could destroy them turns out to be the only thing that can save the hotel.
