The past is never far behind, as a string of murders threatens to unleash long-buried secrets in this pulse-pounding thriller for fans of Melinda Leigh and T. R. Ragan. The only survivor of Denver’s notorious “Reaper” serial murders, FBI Special Agent Kendall Beck grapples with the ghosts of her past by seeking justice for victims of abuse. She’s neck deep in a particularly ugly case involving the disappearance of five-year-old Emily Williams—but her investigation is derailed when her best friend and roommate, Gwen Tavich, turns up dead floating in a nearby lake. Devastated by the news of Gwen’s death, Kendall teams up with Denver detective Adam Taylor to find the killer. Gwen’s fiancé, Ty Butler, is being evasive about the last time he saw Gwen, and as the evidence mounts against him, he’s arrested for the murder. With every new clue, Kendall questions how well she really knew her friend. And when Gwen’s dark secrets begin spilling out one by one, she begins to understand the devastating magnitude of her murder. The Reaper has returned to Denver—and he’s not stopping at just one victim. As the trauma of Kendall’s past comes roaring back, she and Adam have no time to spare before more bodies start piling up. And then Kendall makes a shocking discovery that reveals the horrifying truth behind Emily Williams’s disappearance. Now, Kendall must confront her darkest fears as she and the Reaper face off one more time.

“A smart and thoughtful” women’s fiction novel about a widow’s coming into her own during the social changes of the seventies is “engrossing reading” (Publishers Weekly). In late 1970, Oliver Desmarais drops dead in his front yard while hanging Christmas lights. In the year that follows, his widow, Virginia, struggles to find her place on the campus of the elite New Hampshire men’s college where Oliver was a professor. While Virginia had always shared her husband’s prejudices against the four outspoken, never-married women on the faculty—dubbed the Gang of Four by their male counterparts—she now finds herself depending on them, even joining their work to bring the women’s movement to Clarendon College. Soon, though, reports of violent protests across the country reach this sleepy New England town, stirring tensions between the fraternal establishment of Clarendon and those calling for change. As authorities attempt to tamp down “radical elements,” Virginia must decide whether she’s willing to put herself and her family at risk for a cause that had never felt like her own. Told through alternating perspectives, The Wrong Kind of Woman is an absorbing story about finding the strength to forge new paths, beautifully woven against the rapid changes of the early ’70s. “A glorious debut filled with characters grasping to find a place to belong in a world on the edge of change.” —Carol Rifka Brunt, New York Times–bestselling author Tell the Wolves I’m Home “Powerful.” —Amy Meyerson, author of The Bookshop of Yesterdays “The story we need now.” —T. Greenwood, author of Keeping Lucy “Graceful, solid, and beautifully rendered.” —Abby Frucht, author of Maids

This is a true story. Brent and Jill actually exist, and this is the story of their first experiences. And how from there, Jill, master manipulator and evil genius, took Brent's foot fetish from sucking a few toes to places he never considered or wanted to go. Like the inside of Jill's toilet bowl. Or the bottom of her friends boots. How Jill, church girl, farm girl, seemingly the most innocent of women, created a game plan, a campaign, to make a helpless Brent her complete slave, and lovingly devoted slave at that. This book details her plan, step by step, taking Brent from foot play, to shoe and boot play, to water works, to the inside of her toilet bowl; eventually forcing Brent to truly believe and come to the realization he belonged on Jill's floor, under her feet. Read about Jill's campaign of humiliation; it's almost a handbook guiding the reader into developing their own slave, a guide book on how to take the foot fetishist into slavery, using just their sexual desires. Jill doesn't work, she has Brent for that. And when he's not at work, he's at home, working for Jill, cooking, cleaning, doing her laundry (sometimes in his mouth!!!). She owns him. He knows it.Jill is, without doubt, a genius, and no one knows it but her. And possibly Brent. Which is exactly how she wants it. If you love feet, this story will excite you, but will also warn you about how your fetish can be used against you if you aren't careful. If you're on the receiving end of foot love and want to develop it into slavery (and who doesn't want a slave?), this book will instruct you on how to do that too.However you take it, this book will illustrate a campaign of manipulation designed to lower a fetishist beyond sex, and into actual slavery. Jill hopes you enjoy it, comment on it, if only to take Brent's humiliation to a whole other level. She will be looking for your participation, likely reading those comments to Brent while he's in his place; on Jill's floor, under Jill's feet. And oh, one more thing, Jill really wants you to know there's actually a picture of her and Brent in the book. She insisted on it, and played Brent's horrified reaction into a vacation in Mexico if she didn't say which picture it was. She might be sipping on a margarita while Brent cleans her beach flip flops right now, who knows! Enjoy!!!Note: the paperback includes all three episodes currently available, the ebook version only two.Hello all! Something new for readers of the "Under Jill's Feet" books. We've created a Facebook group called Under Jill's Feet, where readers can ask Jill or Brent, or myself, questions about their lifestyle, the books, discuss fetishism, slavery, anything related to the topic. Proof of book purchase required! Hope to see you there!
