There was only an average rating, but the story had a potential. A detective named Danny Haase has started working in a small town to forget the difficulties of the big city. When he arrived in a new town, he got a new case – two local women disappeared.

Her most popular book under the mystery/crime genre is ‘Frozen’ (Detective Ellie MacIntosh #1). ‘Frozen’ got a very high rating on a different e-book platforms and it became recognized among lovers of the genre. Frozen has a heartwarming, dynamic and surprising plot where the lead character Bryce Grantham finds himself in a very unpleasant situation – he is the suspect in a murder case. One day, Bryce Grantham decided he needed a vacation and he went to his family cabin in a small town. On his first night in a town he met a girl and gave her a ride home. Next morning, he finds himself in a bizarre situation – a girl from the last night disappeared, leaving her phone and blood in his car. After shallow investigation of local police Bryce Grantham became the number one suspect in the case. On the other side of the coin, a detective Ellie MacIntosh was working on the case of murder where Bryce Grantham was a suspect. At the same time she was working on another case related to a serial killer and she was sure Bryce Grantham was the man behind these killings. Year and a half passed without any clue until the main suspect started to report strange things – he started to stumble across the bodies of missing women. Ellie thought there was something odd in that case and she started to research it from the scratch, putting everything at stake to prove Bryce was innocent.

As mentioned before, Kate Watterson usually doesn’t write under her real name. Her pseudonym Emma Wildes has an envious amount of published novels under romance and mystery/crime genre.

The book was first published in 2009., but has many editions. The plot follows two powerful and influential men who decided to compete to prove who was a better lover. The story was placed in the middle age in London and at that time it wasn’t unusual to see few powerful people compete about silly things. They were looking for an intelligent and beautiful woman who would sleep with both of them to determine who was the best lover in bed. Lady named Caroline Wynn stepped forward and accept to participate in the battle between two egos, but there was only one requirement – to remain her identity a secret. ‘An Incident Proposition’ is very complex love story filled with emotions such as love, lust, pain, happiness and suffering.

Marquess of Longhaven was good at manipulation and deception game, but after a few months of happy marriage, he found out that his wife Julliane had a life full of secrets. Very inspiring love story that shows us how love is unpredicted.
