Shades
The Grandeur Hotel & Resort offers first-class accommodations and amenities that make it one of South Florida's hottest vacation destinations. Its exclusivity, isolation, and location in 1980s Miami-and the resort's shady history-also make it a hotbed of international espionage and clandestine criminal activities. Good thing the hotel detective is cool as the ocean breeze. Identifiable as much by his designer sunglasses and fashionable duds as his keen observations and insights, "Shades" keeps an eye on the resort's patrons-and not just the cute ones-while trying to stay off the radar of his boss and enjoy the perks of working and living in paradise. Thieves, ex-mobsters, and spies complicate his weekend, but perhaps none as much as the beautiful guest who may or may not be involved with them all. Shades will need all his wits and charm to sort out the mysteries and maintain peace at The Grandeur. And then there's the matter of his other job, the real reason he was hired in the first place . . .

Black Male - A Douglas Files Short
Jackson Douglas is only an associate at MTR Investigative Services, and that for all of three weeks. But when a potential client shows up late one Friday, he offers to help.

Unless Reggie makes her a partner, she plans to tell the world that he stole $25,000 from her stepfather-Reggie's former employer.

Since none of the pros at MTR are available to take the case, Jackson is left to work alone. Hoping to prove Leila is actually the thief, he spends his Saturday tailing her and observes unusual behavior that appears to tie her to a local crime family. Despite the danger, Jackson pushes on, determined to help Reggie for reasons he can't explain. Will he incriminate Leila in time, or will he end up pushing too far?

With the help of his best friends Scotty and Cassie, and with plenty of metaphorical advice from Scotty's golf-loving dad, Josh spends a summer pursuing Erica and contemplating his relationship with God. Will he ever get his chance to win her heart? And in what condition will he ultimately find his?

Chasing the Wind - The Douglas Files: Book Five
When art connoisseur Alec Vanderbilt died, he left behind a centuries-old Bible that is a cherished family heirloom, a valuable collectors' piece, and a possible treasure trove of CIA intel from Alec's time with "the Company." So P.I. Jackson Douglas knows reclaiming it for Alec's daughter Abby won't be easy. But should it really be this hard? Complicating matters are a host of government agencies, fake federal agents, spies, ex-girlfriends, and Alec's son-each of whom wants the Bible for various reasons. However, nobody causes Jackson and Abby as much trouble as the mystery woman who joins the hunt with them. Pursuit of the Bible takes them from an opulent downtown L.A. hotel to an art gala on Santa Catalina Island, and from a game of cat-and-mouse aboard Amtrak's Coast Starlight to a snow-covered mountain hideaway. If Jackson is to procure the Bible for Abby, he'll need to stay one step ahead of the entire gang-not to mention stay alive long enough to figure out how to pull it off.

Broken Trust
Ray Eastwood heads to Jackson, Wyoming, looking for a distraction-and he finds one. His cousin Graham is missing, leaving behind a cranky girlfriend and a cryptic message but little else. Teaming up with a vivacious park ranger named Lauren, Ray deciphers Graham's message and follows it to a variety of Jackson Hole landmarks. Each is somehow tied to a century-old contract, a power struggle between two of the area's prominent families, and a cult-like belief rooted in the valley's mystical aura. The more they learn, the more questions Ray and Lauren have-and the more they fear the worst about Graham. Set against the panorama of the Teton Mountains, Broken Trust explores the lust for power, the relationship between the mystic and the divine, and the depths of loyalty and friendship . . . and ends with a bang!
