On the beat he sells murder, tragedy, and anything that passes for the truth. At home, he is a dedicated husband and father. But when a seductive stranger asks him to dig into the unsolved murder of her husband, he is drawn into a very nasty case of sexual obsession and blackmail--one that threatens his job, his marriage, and his life.

Three full-length contemporary romance novels with twists, suspense and steam. Includes the newest extended edition of The Vow. The Vow: Book 1 ELSIE I thought a “vow” could keep us apart. I was wrong. It’s been seven years since I’ve seen my first love—my best friend’s hotter than Hell-in-July older brother, Brett. But when my first night in NYC ends in disaster, I find myself walking into his tattoo shop in need of help, the memory of our lost romance still singed on my skin. — The Bet: Book 2 HEATH Of all the names I’ve been called in Manhattan, “good guy” has never been one of them. But that’s what I have to become…the day my father’s law firm (and sexy lawyer Violet Keats) fall into my lap. — The Deal: Book 3 JESSE As a lawyer, my job is to resolve scandals. Unfortunately, my best friend’s sexy younger sister is a walking scandal, clad in leather and tight jeans. Off-limits, feisty and gorgeous in ways that should be illegal, Marilyn wins more than just my confidence when the wild child actress returns to Manhattan, covered in more Hollywood dirt than all of my court cases combined. The Manhattan Nights Series (Novels 1-3) contains lots of heat, humor, suspense and twists. Enjoy!

An actor, recently divorced, at loose ends in New York; a woman, no less lonely, perhaps even more desperate than the man: they meet by chance in an all-night diner and are drawn to each other on the spot. Roaming the city streets, hitting its late-night dives, dropping another coin into yet another jukebox, these two lost souls struggle to understand what it is that has brought them, almost in spite of themselves, together. They are driven—from moment to moment, from bedroom to bedroom—to improvise the most unexpected of love stories, a tale of suspense where risk alone offers salvation. Georges Simenon was the most popular and prolific of the twentieth century’s great novelists. Three Bedrooms in Manhattan—closely based on the story of his own meeting with his second wife—is his most passionate and revealing work.

In the Roaring Twenties, New York City nightclubs and speakeasies became hot spots where traditions were flouted and modernity was forged. With powerful patrons in Tammany Hall and a growing customer base, nightclubs flourished in spite of the efforts of civic-minded reformers and federal Prohibition enforcement. This encounter between clubs and government-generated scandals, reform crusades, and regulations helped to redefine the image and reality of urban life in the United States. Ultimately, it took the Great Depression to cool Manhattan's Jazz Age nightclubs, forcing them to adapt and relocate, but not before they left their mark on the future of American leisure. Nightclub City explores the cultural significance of New York City's nightlife between the wars, from Texas Guinan's notorious 300 Club to Billy Rose's nostalgic Diamond Horseshoe. Whether in Harlem, Midtown, or Greenwich Village, raucous nightclub activity tested early twentieth-century social boundaries. Anglo-Saxon novelty seekers, Eastern European impresarios, and African American performers crossed ethnic lines while provocative comediennes and scantily clad chorus dancers challenged and reshaped notions of femininity. These havens of liberated sexuality, as well as prostitution and illicit liquor consumption, allowed their denizens to explore their fantasies and fears of change. The reactions of cultural critics, federal investigators, and reformers such as Fiorello La Guardia exemplify the tension between leisure and order. Peretti's research delves into the symbiotic relationships among urban politicians, social reformers, and the business of vice. Illustrated with archival photographs of the clubs and the characters who frequented them, Nightclub City is a dark and dazzling study of New York's bygone nightlife.
