Olman County Series (1-#8) by Alex Collins (aka T. L. Haddix)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 10.3MB | Retail
Overview: She’s a self-described eccentric, somewhat-reclusive stick in the mud who lives in Kentucky with her husband and their cat-children. Her hobbies include gardening, cooking, casual birdwatching, mushroom hunting, and being short, and if she gets brave, she’ll eventually add chicken-owner to the list.
She writes books about characters who are flawed but who somehow still manage to overcome the challenges thrown in their paths and reach for happiness with their soul mates. And while she can’t tell a joke in the real world to save her life, she tries to inject her characters’ lives with quirky, often unintentional humor that surprises readers at just the right moment.
Genre: Fiction > Romance | Suspense
#1 – Homecoming
Love shows up when we least expect it. So does danger.
Lauren is a survivor. The divorced mom is focused on raising her daughter and running the most popular cafe in town. She doesn’t date, but she’s happy enough being single. However, when she meets her parents’ dishy new neighbor, she realizes that she’s settling for less because she’s afraid to try for more. Reaching out takes courage, and that’s not something she’s ever been good at.
But evil is lurking around the corner unseen, playing a deadly game of cat and mouse. When detectives tie the disappearance of a local businesswoman to an attack Lauren suffered as a teen, life becomes a game of survival. And as long-held secrets spill out, not everyone will come out of this game alive…
#2 – Hunted
Secrets of the heart aren’t the only things hiding in this small Indiana town. So is a hunter who likes to kill on the darkest of nights…
For two years, Ethan has done his best to keep his distance from his best friend’s sister. But the sweetly sexy blonde is everywhere he turns these days, armed and dangerous with insulting comebacks, sarcastic sass, and sultry looks that tempt a man to do foolish things like ask her out or kiss her senseless. If he trips over her one more time, he can’t be held responsible for what happens next…
Beth has loved Ethan for over a decade. He doesn’t know, and she isn’t about to tell him. Without a doubt, the surly, dark-haired detective would use her feelings as a weapon against her in their increasingly bitter war of words.
But when people begin disappearing from their small town, they’re forced to work together to figure out what’s going on. If they can keep from killing – or kissing – each other in the meantime, that is.
Just as their attraction boils over, Beth is trapped in the hunter’s deadly crosshairs. Despite his best efforts, Ethan might not get to her in time. And once the dust settles, they may never pick up all the broken pieces again…
#3 – Vanishing Point
A pretty smile can hide an ugly betrayal. And with murder, the past is never really dead…
Chase learned those lessons the hard way. For ten years, he’s carried the weight of his college girlfriend’s unsolved murder, the memories of Kiely’s death stopping him from living a full life. But now he’s found a woman who speaks to him body and soul. Someone he’s able to trust, someone worth taking a risk for. Someone he loves. His sister’s best friend, Annie. Wonder of wonders, she might just love him back.
But when the killer makes contact on the anniversary of Kiely’s murder, the evidence he sends her family makes Chase the prime suspect. Innocent of that crime, he isn’t without secrets that he doesn’t want exposed. Worse, now Annie is the target of a madman who’ll stop at nothing to make Chase suffer. If the investigator in charge gets his way, Chase will be behind bars, unable to protect her.
With time running out to identify the real killer, Chase might just end up facing his worst nightmare all over again…

Good men can have terrible secrets…
Wyatt Dixon has worn a badge for close to thirty years. He takes his vow to protect and serve the citizens of Olman County seriously. But everything he’s worked for is put in jeopardy by a blackmail letter.
The sheriff isn’t the only one who receives a demand. All over town, prominent citizens are panicking, trying to figure out who has access to their dirtiest, darkest secrets… and how to shut them up, legally or otherwise.
The timing couldn’t be worse. Wyatt’s only just come to terms with his attraction to IT director Maria Pace. Despite the fact that he’s old enough to be her father, he wants to be with her on an intimate level that has nothing to do with work and everything to do with serious romance. If the blackmailer gets their way, they won’t even make it past their first date. With the stakes climbing, his personal life under a microscope, and his county turned upside down, Wyatt faces the toughest decision of his career. Does he stay and fight for all that he’s worked for? Or does he walk away from everything, including the woman he loves?
#5 – Malice Murder
What starts as a quest for answers about her father’s disappearance quickly takes a deadly turn…
Detective Stacy Kirchner awakens covered in blood next to a dead man, charged with his murder. But she has no memory of the crime or how she got there – and no way to defend herself. For all she knows, she really did pull the trigger. With everything on the line, she reluctantly turns to the one person who can help – devastatingly attractive former FBI agent Galen Gordon.
Gordon has finally made peace with his own past, and he’s ready to rebuild his life. He’s been biding his time with Stacy, waiting for the shy detective to learn to trust him before he makes his move. When the call comes that she’s in trouble, he rushes to her side. Once again, he’s facing a grim future – the real threat of losing another woman he loves. If they can’t find the truth in time, Stacy will take the deadly fall, and they’ll never have the chance to start again…
#6 – Proof of Deception
When you don’t know the truth about who you really are, it’s hard to tell your friends from your enemies…
Carrie’s uncle Ron has been her family since her parents were killed. But when he returns from vacation, he acts like she’s public enemy number one, and he won’t tell her what’s wrong. Worse, her rock-solid friendship with Robbie is changing. All of a sudden, he’s looking at her less like a friend and more like a lover. She doesn’t trust the shift in their relationship, no matter how much she secretly wants them to be more.
When she finds her uncle dead in his driveway, she’s convinced it’s a tragic accident. But then it’s determined that Ron was murdered. And the only person with an obvious motive… is Carrie.
As the investigation unfolds, it brings more questions than answers. Ron turns out to be a man with an entire closet full of skeletons that he went to extraordinary lengths to protect. Is the person who killed him willing to kill again now that Carrie knows the truth?
#7 – Watching
You never know who’s watching…
Joely’s return to Indiana is a disaster. She’s secretly crushing on ridiculously sexy single dad Garrett. Her relationship with her parents has crashed and burned in a humiliating bonfire. Her old nemesis from school is back in town and out for blood. And if none of that was bad enough, she’s picked up an obsessive, murderous stalker who’s determined to make her his own. Really, she should have stayed in India.
Garrett never expected to stumble across someone like Joely. He isn’t sure he’s ready for a serious romance, regardless of how fascinating he finds the petite brunette. After all, it isn’t just his heart that could get broken if things don’t work out—he has his daughter to think of, as well.
But Joely’s stalker ups the ante by staking a deadly claim.
Garrett is horrified when he figures out the stalker is connected to a series of unsolved murders. No one expected Joely to be in that much danger. And he never thought that keeping her alive might be harder than keeping her at arm’s length.
#8 – Redemption
Is it too late for a second chance?
Jason is focused on two things – his son and his job as detective. When a woman from his past sets up shop in town, his family sees hearts and Cupids. Not Jason – he’s only interested in finding out what scheme has brought Desi back and how to make her go away. Besides, he doesn’t have time to worry about romance – a series of local break-ins has his instincts on high alert. Between chasing leads and dealing with Desi, he’s ready to howl with frustration.
He isn’t the only one about to lose his temper. Desi’s life was destroyed when she was sixteen, forcing her to run away and leave behind everyone she loved – including the charming boy who held her heart. Now that she’s a successful adult, she’s come home hoping to make amends and rebuild some of what she lost. But Jason has become embittered and emotionally unavailable, and "forgiveness" isn’t in his vocabulary. If she didn’t adore his family, she’d tell the surly detective where he could put his attitude.
Before they can broker a peace deal, Jason’s involved in a dangerous arrest that threatens to put an end to him permanently. Will he and Desi ever get a chance to find the redemption they seek, or will the opportunity for forgiveness be lost forever?
