Welcome to Wreckage & Ruins! Each week we investigate disasters: man-made and natural, legendary last stands, medical mishaps, and everything in between. Each of the ruins unfold into a story, and we're here to understand why it happened and what came after.

Scarborough House is haunted, and it's not doing much for Donovan Scarborough's investment portfolio. No one wants to buy a place with levitating crockery, or (the wrong kind of) rhythmic pounding throughout the night. Luckily, Melody "I-See-Dead-People" Bittersweet has just launched her own ghostbusting agency with best friend Marina, geeky, keen Arthur, and a one-eared pug called Lestat. They're quick to take the case, even if it has already sort of (definitely) been given to Leo Dark, Melody's rakish, despicable ex.

Leadership can be learned: New evidence from neuroscience clearly points to ways that leaders can significantly improve how they engage with and motivate others. This book provides leaders and managers with an accessible guide to practical, effective actions, based on neuroscience.

The house promises a kind master, but the monster in the dungeon wants her. And Brian breaks all his toys. Mina Calloway is lured to the Pleasure House with the promise that all her dark fantasies will come true, but her past abuse makes her too hard to train. Instead of being sold to someone safe as promised, she ends up in the dungeons, left in the hands of the house’s most brutal and sociopathic trainer. When she looks into his cold dark eyes, she’s sure her life is over. Brian is a monster, a known killer. But he’s paid a lot of money to possess her.

After an eviction notice and one too many apple martinis, I wake, stripped bare and alone in a cell. No, wait, not alone. My evil garbage fire ex, Andrew, who suggested he’d let me stay with him “for a price” is here, too. He’s the whole reason I lost my job. My head is throbbing, my vision fuzzy. “Andrew, you piece of… what are you doing?” “Who’s Andrew?” My blood runs cold. That’s not Andrew’s voice. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.

Brian Sloane is a pure psychopathic monster … to everyone but Mina. She was looking for a good man to scratch a particular itch but instead ended up bought by the violent enforcer of a submissive training house. Against all odds, the villain became her hero. She was the light to his dark until the lights went out, and the darkness inside her came out to play.

Die Welt hat sich verändert. Kreaturen, die im Schatten lauern, sind keine Schauermärchen mehr. Wer sich zu weit in die Wildnis hinauswagt, riskiert den Tod. Und wenn du eine Frau bist, droht dir ein noch schlimmeres Schicksal. Monster jagen ist mein Job. Ich bin verdammt gut darin. Ich brauche keine Hilfe dabei. Vor allem nicht von denen, die an allem die Schuld tragen. Mein Vater macht mich zur Liaison-Offizierin. Zum Babysitter für die fremden Kommandosoldaten. Ihr Anführer ist ein primitiver Wilder. Nichts an ihm zieht mich an. Absolut gar nichts!

Er ist ein eiskalter Killer und der einzige Mann, den ich je geliebt habe. Er hat mein bedingungsloses Vertrauen missbraucht. Seine Verurteilung war der Höhepunkt meiner Karriere. Meine Ehe mit ihm bleibt der größte Schandfleck in meinem Leben. Ich hasse ihn mit der gleichen Wildheit, mit der ich ihn geliebt habe. Und jetzt muss ich diesen Scheißkerl um Hilfe bitten. Ich bin ein Profi. Er hat keine Macht mehr über mich. Es darf keine Rolle spielen, wie gut mein Körper sich noch an ihn erinnert. Sie ist eine gottverdammte Staatsanwältin und mein größter Fehler.

Everyone said I married the perfect man. But if Conall Walsh were perfect, I wouldn’t have killed him. I thought I got away with it until I received an anonymous note at the ballet company I dance for. A mysterious stranger threatens to spill all my secrets, to ruin my life and put me in prison for my crime.

Diese zwei haben sich nicht gesucht, aber gefunden: Yuna Blossom Pütz, frühpensionierte Friseurin aus Köln, schreibt in ihrer Freizeit erfolglose Krimis. Romi Brinkbäumer wurde als Drehbuchautorin gerade gefeuert und kämpft mit Geldproblemen. Und weil das Schicksal durchaus Humor hat, führt es die beiden ausgerechnet bei einem Krimi-Dinner zusammen – in einem Schloss irgendwo in der Pampa. Doch aus dem amüsanten Wochenende wird bald blutiger Ernst. Anstatt gespielter Morde gibt es echte Tote.
