Millionaire’s Last Stand by Elle Kennedy Revisit New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy’s story of small-town scandal! There are plenty of people in Serenade with motive to murder Teresa Donovan. But no one doubts that her estranged husband, Cole, killed her. No one except FBI profiler Jamie Crawford. Though their electrifying attraction threatens her objectivity, Jamie’s unerring gut tells her the magnetic tycoon is innocent. Cole’s disastrous marriage has shattered his trust. But in Jamie’s alluring presence, his protective armor melts away. Now, as their mutual fascination ignites into a mind-melting attraction, a killer is targeting Jamie. And Cole will risk anything to protect the woman who’s restored his shattered heart.... Originally published in 2011

The Heartbreak Sheriff
Same Serenade small-town murder investigation and protective-hero heat, but this one leans harder on revenge and violence with a single-parent, second-chance angle.
Her Private Avenger
Another small-town Kennedy suspense with a lethal threat and a guarded hero, though it's a second-chance reunion and runs slightly hotter.
Him
Kennedy's banter and forced proximity again, minus the murder plot; an MM friends-to-lovers sports romance that's more explicit and far lighter on danger.
Top Secret
Same author's heat and forced-proximity tension, but swaps murder suspense for a flirty anonymous-app MM campus romance that's spicier and slower-burning.
Heart Bones
Keeps the wealthy brooding man and forced-proximity pull, but swaps the killer hunt for a slow-burn grief story about a summer of healing.
Verity
For the suspense side: a mystery about a wife's death and an untrustworthy narrative, much darker, spicier, and without the tidy HEA.
