Atone
by Beth YarnallBeth Yarnall's sexy and emotional Recovered Innocence series continues as two broken souls discover that keeping their hands off each other is even harder than facing their demons. Beau: Six years. That's how long I spent behind bars for a crime I didn't commit--the murder of the woman I loved. Now I'm free, but life on the outside is a different kind of prison. I don't know who I am or who I want to be. At least I have my sister, Cora. She never stopped believing in me. She even got me a job at the private investigation agency that cleared my name. And then Vera Swain walks into Nash Security and Investigations and kicks my world on its ass. Vera: There's only one thing that would make me come out of hiding after two years on the run: finding my sister. I made the mistake of telling a monster about her, the same monster who beat me and broke me. Now I'm forced to confide in Beau Hollis of Nash Security and Investigations. He looks at me like he knows me--the real me. He sees too much, makes me feel too much. The pleasure he offers is exciting and addictive. But I can't fall for him . . . because my love could get us both killed. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
Reclaim: A Recovered Innocence Novel
by Beth YarnallBrimming with angst and sensuality, Beth Yarnall's Recovered Innocence series kicks into high gear as a hotheaded P.I. unleashes one lawyer's deepest passions--and greatest temptations. Nolan: Nothing's ever come easy for me, especially not my dream job at Nash Security and Investigations. Righting wrongs is what I'm meant to do . . . except I manage to blow the very first chance I get. So why don't they fire me on the spot? Hell, I'd fire myself if I could. Instead, my boss hands me an assignment that's too important to screw up--and partners me with Lila Garcia, a gorgeous attorney with curves so distracting they should be illegal. Lila: Like my client, a grieving mother charged with the murder of her own son, I know how quickly the American dream can become a nightmare. If anybody can help me clear her name, it's Nash Security and Investigations. But Nolan Perry is a wild card. Bending the truth, breaking the law--that's his business. I need to focus on the evidence. Not on how Nolan's body fits so perfectly against mine. With a case this personal--and this dangerous--losing control is simply not an option . . . no matter how badly I want to give in.

Cora: I got my driver's license on my sixteenth birthday so I could visit my brother in prison. Five and a half years later, he's still locked up for a murder he didn't commit and I'm still trying to find a way to set him free. Then I hear about Nash Security and Investigation, a private detective agency that helped exonerate a wrongfully convicted man after thirty-nine years in prison. The problem? They've already taken on the one pro-bono case they'll accept this year. Leo: I'm this close to finishing law school--and never working another day at my dad's P.I. office--when Cora Hollis walks through the door. She's got a box of files, a handful of leads, and an independent streak a mile wide. She fascinates me and I can't say no. Suddenly I'm volunteering to help her find a missing witness who could be the key to her brother's case. But nothing is what it seems and giving in to the attraction between us could be more dangerous than finding the real murderer.Advance praise for Vindicate "With humor, romance, and suspense, Vindicate is such a fun book. I loved it!"--USA Today bestselling author Sidney Halston"Readers will love Beth Yarnall's fresh voice and high quality writing. This is an excellent start to a series, with a strong heroine and a smart, sexy hero who make a great team.

Now she wants justice. But is she blind to the truth?"Arresting...Twisting backward and forward in time, entering the minds of each character in turn, Yates examines both how they reached this point and what happens years later, when the past wreaks havoc on the present...[A] sophisticated...elegant narrative." --The New York Times"The plot is darkly, intricately layered, full of pitfalls and switchbacks, smart and funny and moving and merciless; the characters are all that and more." --Tana French, author of the New York Times bestselling In the Woods and The Trespasser"Dark, intense, and disturbing...Highly recommended." —Krysten Ritter, author of Bonfire"Two of life's delicious pleasures—gourmet delectations and a sinister, plot-twisty tale—come together in this intelligent thriller." - Oprah.comChristopher J. Yates’s cult hit Black Chalk introduced that rare writerly talent: a literary writer who could write a plot with the intricacy of a brilliant mental puzzle, and with characters so absorbing that readers are immediately gripped.

The evening clothes were faultless, but the body had been horribly mutilated—years before. Who was the crooked man? Christien, the managing director of the theatre, had never seen the man before … Percy Tussard, of the police, set to work on the case. And close on his heels came ancient and autocratic Lord Broghville. He threw the weight of his years, his influence, his impressive dignity and his immense intelligence into the search for the murderer ... “There Was a Crooked Man” adds to the ranks of amateur detectives a new one you cannot fail to take to your heart—the lonely and tremendous, the ancient and august Lord Broghville.
