The Tycoon ...He was only in his early thirties but he was head of a vast business empire. He was handsome and sophisticated, and he could be very dangerous when he wanted to be. He was married to a woman who was consistently unfaithful to him. Nobody knew why he stood for it, he certainly didn't have to....... and the Tigress ...She could do things with her eyes and voice that astonished him almost as much as what she could do with her magnificent body. He hated all the things she had done before they met, and yet he knew he would never have wanted her if she had not been so well versed in the ways of love. Woman Concerned was the working title of the latest script by Bones Lahaffy - and it was a winner. A sure-thing, if there ever is such a thing in Hollywood. Robert Decker got his friend's script into the right hands, or so he thought. Foster Kane would produce, and Mona Hayes would star in the movie, not his wife. That's when the trouble began simmering ... Mona was moving into her forties, and entering the "character" phase of her career. She desperately wanted the starring role in this vehicle. She sensed her career would receive a precious boost, carrying her professionally and financially for a few more years. But Madge Kane, the producer's wife, wanted the role. She had everything - looks, money, men - everything but the lead in Woman Concerned. Mona needed this, so Made Kane wanted it. The role was to die for ... but was she willing to kill for it?

Lila Lee Sharp was a seller of sex and as far as Jack Ware was concerned, she'd sold his best friend short. But Ted Colyer was beyond caring about whether he'd been the victim of a hard sell-he was stretched out on a slab in the morgue with a hole in his chest the size of a picture window.Lila was the key to the murder puzzle, except that her lush body and hot, knowing eyes kept Ware from fitting the pieces together. He could think of nothing else but the fact he had to have her. And he knew the high price he might have to pay-his life, and maybe hers.

MAKE MY COFFIN STRONGSteve Galloway has been away for a while, making his fortune in Saudi oil. Then he gets the letter: his mentor and old friend, Sam Goulding, is dead, and it looks like murder. Now he's back in NYC with a score to settle. It's clear to Galloway that the syndicate is behind Sam's death, but he has no way to prove it. So he gets himself introduced to Jack Barr, a fellow gambler, to see what he can find out-and that's how he meets Fay. The attraction is immediate. But there's also Virginia, who knows a thing or two about the syndicate and wants to help. Galloway is soon over his head in women and cold-blooded killers. And as he draws closer to discovering who killed Sam, he jeopardizes not only the lives of those around him, but pits himself against a man he genuinely admires-Jack Barr. Unfortunately, his new friend may be the very man he is looking for.

Two desperate men - one white, one black - defy the hatred of a town and the guns of a range war.
