Welcome to Hamlet. Population: 192. You can't find it on any map, GPS or directions site. A small village tucked between a mountain and a valley, Hamlet is the sort of place where everyone knows everyone—and their business, too. There's no television. No phones. Only one way in and, for the locals, barely any way out. The sheriff is the law, the only doctor moonlights as the coroner, and outsiders rarely come to town. Murders are even rarer. A treacherous storm, a flat tire and a touch of serendipity causes Tessa Sullivan and her husband Jack to stumble upon the narrow strait that leads into Hamlet. It was supposed to be a one night stop until the rain let up and Jack could figure out how to fix the tire—until Tess lands herself in the local jail cell overnight and Jack is found dead in their hotel room the next morning. There's no doubt it was murder, but with his gentle wife having an airtight alibi, the sheriff has to wonder: who had any cause to kill the outsider? And was he only the first victim? Dr. De Angelis doesn’t think so. Neither does Deputy Walsh. With Tess looking more and more like the killer’s next target, both men take the time to comfort and protect the young widow. But only one of them is sincere. The other just wants her to himself now that her husband is out of the way. Alone and afraid, who can she trust?

In a small village with a population less than two hundred, there was rarely a need for an inn. There was definitely no reason for one of the locals to open a bed and breakfast when outsiders were few and far between. That didn't stop Maria De Angelis. Though she knew she would never manage to escape Hamlet—and she didn't want to—running Ophelia was her dream. But when did she decide to do it? Why? Where did she get the name for it? And what really happened with Mack Turner? Told in snippets, this novella spans eight years, showing the birth of the idea for Ophelia all the way to the day Maria reopens her bed and breakfast and has Tessa Sullivan for a guest. It's a look at one of the understated characters from the first book in the series: Ophelia, Maria De Angelis' bed and breakfast. \*Though set beforehand, Ophelia is meant to be read following Don't Trust Me due to spoilers for the first novel in the Hamlet Series.

It’s Christmas in Hamlet! Two months after Lucas De Angelis left Hamlet to start his life with Tessa Sullivan, he finds himself driving all the way back to his former home. It’s the holidays and, knowing how abruptly he abandoned the small town, Tess convinces Lucas that he has to at least visit his sister for Christmas. Lucas agrees, but only because he has an ulterior motive of his own. Maria De Angelis is looking forward to spending Christmas with Sylvester Collins. Now that her brother is gone, she can flaunt her relationship with the new sheriff of Hamlet without any of the town gossips ratting her romance out to her overprotective big brother. That’s when Lucas and Tessa show up unannounced. What promises to be a very interesting holiday is suddenly cut short by a single buzz of Sheriff Collins’ radio. A local child is missing. The culprit? Based on the only eyewitness—his four-year-old twin sister—Santa Claus has come to Hamlet. And he’s stolen a little boy.

It was supposed to be one date. After connecting on an online dating site, Grace Delaney agreed to go out with Thomas for coffee—and that was the beginning of the end for both of them. Thomas Mathers is rich, he’s smart, he’s arrogant, and, after one evening, he’s decided that the lovely ballerina is meant to be his. And because he almost immediately proves how obsessed he is by breaking into her home and leaving threatening gifts, she knows he’s not about to take Grace’s no for an answer. No matter where she goes, he finds her. In the seven months since they met, she’s been forced to move twice, change her number three times. The cops won’t help her. Her friends think she’s just being stubborn. Tommy would be good for her, they say. Tommy will never let her go. He stalks her, tracks her using his wits, his goons, and the best technology that money can buy. How can she escape him? Simple. By hiding out in a small town where there’s no phone, no internet, and a retired Marine turned sheriff’s deputy is willing to do whatever he has to in order to protect the frightened outsider. Rick Hart is a Hamlet local. He was born there, and though he spent the last nine years on the outside as a Marine, he knows he's going to die there. Unfinished business had him returning when his last tour of duty was up—only he never got a chance to finish it. Tired and alone, he keeps himself on the edge of their tightknit community... and that's when the lovely outsider blows into town and knocks him right off course. Grace needs help. That much is obvious. As Rick finds the dainty ballerina worming her way under his skin, making a home for herself in his heart, he starts to wonder about the trouble she left behind—and what will happen when it finally follows her into Hamlet. I’ll Never Stop >is a full-length novel set in Hamlet. Featuring characters from the previous entries in the series, as well as introducing a new heroine to the small town, this novel is set approximately a year after Don’t Trust Me and will bring the reader back to the cozy small town—where everyone knows your name and, even so, no one is safe.

No outsiders allowed. It's Hamlet's newest rule. As much as Deputy Natalie Newton disagrees, the sheriff's word is law and Sheriff Collins has insisted: no outsiders allowed. After what happened the last time one moved into their village, it makes sense. Everyone knows that the only time there's trouble in Hamlet is when there is an outsider or two involved. Better safe than sorry. Of course, that's when Kade McAllister shows up. He's lost and disheveled and, holy crap, the most handsome man she's ever seen before. Natalie knows that she doesn't have a lot to compare him to—especially since the last time she went after a guy, it didn't go so well—but she's instantly attracted to him. She feels bad for him, too. No matter what the sign out front says, Natalie is prepared to live by the old motto: Hamlet Helps. So, despite orders from her boss, Natalie stubbornly offers to help the outsider. To her surprise, he accepts. And, despite being born and raised in Hamlet, Natalie finally discovers what it feels like to be considered an outsider. Kade, on the other hand, thought this would be a simple job. His employer has questions about the small town tucked away in the middle of nowhere and it's up to Kade to get answers for him. He's a PI. Playing a part, digging deep, using any and every resource... it's what he does. He figures he'll be in and out, a week tops. Then he's met by a roadblock and a warning sign. It doesn't stop him, though, as much as it intrigues him. Hamlet has its secrets. It's up to Kade to find out what they are. And if he has to take up with the only local in town willing to help him in order to discover the truth about what happened last December? He'll do it. Because a job's a job—until the moment it isn't. As Natalie and Kade grow closer while trying to find out the truth of what went down between Grace Delaney and Thomas Mathers, Kade begins to wonder who has his loyalty: the man who pays his checks or the sweet yet strong deputy who makes him smile? Because it isn't long before he realizes that, when it comes to Natalie, he'd follow her anywhere. \Wherever You Go is a novella set following the close of the second full-length Hamlet novel, I'll Never Stop*. It's a direct answer to the way things were resolved in that book, featuring another of the Hamlet deputies and the outsider she can't ignore.

To wed or not to wed… that is the question. In Hamlet, even a small wedding can be a crazy affair. The townsfolk all want to be involved, the proprietor of the local bed and breakfast is moonlighting as the wedding planner, and the bride is beginning to wish that she had just eloped. Especially when it becomes clear that someone doesn’t want Grace Delaney to get married. The trouble began with little things. Her shoes went missing. Her veil was destroyed. Then someone canceled the order she made with an outsider florist. By the time a fire is started at the church, Grace realizes that someone has been sabotaging her upcoming wedding to Hamlet’s own, Rick Hart. There’s only one problem: all signs point to it being a dead man. Rick knows that Mathers is gone. Grace’s former stalker shouldn’t be a threat. Not anymore. But there’s no denying the fact that someone is interfering every way they can in order to stop this marriage from happening. And he can’t help but wonder if it’s really his bride who’s the one getting cold feet… Here Comes the Bride is a novella that takes place in the tiny, isolated town of Hamlet. Set four months after the events of Wherever You Go, it’s time for Grace Delaney and Rick Hart to tie the knot… if they can survive making it to the altar first.
