The River Queen

When river pirates attack and steal his steamboat, Emmett Carter barely escapes. Rescued and transported to a magnificent world of glitz and showbiz aboard a flashy showboat, Emmett is immediately captivated by something more than recovering his lost inheritance—The River Queen’s beautiful, but quirky, songbird.

Anola Flynn, the star singer on The River Queen, is struggling to keep the business running as attendance dwindles during the 1923 season. With her dreams of saving the family legacy—and the only life she’s ever known—slipping away, she forges an alliance with Emmett to keep her family afloat.

Now, to outsmart the gangsters chasing them, Anola and Emmett must wade through a dark current of deception and betrayal to save not only their dreams, but everyone they care about, from sinking deeper into the Mississippi River.

Moonlight on the Mississippi

Steamboat Captain Camilla Lockhart discovers a handsome stranger on board with an offer he claims she can't refuse. If he thinks she will get involved in another hopeless treasure quest, he's lost his sunbaked mind. Not after what happened to her father. But with her boat falling apart and her crew about to starve, Mr. Gray's unusual proposal might be her only hope.

Daniel Gray inherited a host of problems, including a clue that could unlock old family secrets and a treasure that’s long since faded to lore. His father left him with only one name—Lockhart. But when he hires the striking, yet unconventional, steamboat captain to help him navigate the treacherous waters of the Mississippi River, he never expects his heart to get tangled in the currents.

With a criminal operation’s net tightening around them, the two must battle against time to uncover a lost family treasure and solve a mysterious disappearance before the men hunting them from the shadows discover the dangerous truth.

Mist on the Waters

Detective Mason McCready has spent his career hunting criminals along the Mississippi River, but this case cuts closer to the bone. A powerful crime boss is tightening his grip on the river towns, corruption is creeping into the police ranks, and the man Mason’s been chasing has vanished into the mist, taking deadly secrets with him. As loyalties blur and danger closes in, Mason must decide how much he’s willing to risk to see justice served.

Lexi Taylor has made a name for herself breaking codes others can’t touch, but this investigation is personal. Her brother’s death is tangled in the very operation Mason is trying to dismantle, and every clue they uncover draws them deeper into a world of hidden ledgers, whispered alliances, and river routes soaked in betrayal. As threats mount, Lexi must rely not only on her sharp mind, but also on a detective she’s learning she can trust with more than the truth.

With a traitor lurking in the shadows and time slipping through their fingers, Mason and Lexi race from river towns to shadowed safe houses, following a trail that could bring down an empire—or cost them everything.
