Book-by-Book Guide:
The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy
Hart Ralston, a steadfast marshal patrolling Tanria’s wild frontiers, carries loneliness like a badge. Mercy Birdsall runs Birdsall & Son Undertakers with fierce determination, keeping a family business afloat amid skeptical townsfolk. When Hart begins an anonymous letter-writing friendship with a mysterious “A Friend,” their exchanges unlock a ribbon of vulnerability neither expected. The reveal of their pen pals’ true identities spirals into a tender, cross-purpose romance where fear, duty, and desire collide. Bannen’s blend of zippy banter, macabre humor, and heartfelt longing creates a warm, cinematic tale about found connection and second chances, with a dash of whimsy that makes the heart flutter long after the last page.

The Undermining of Twyla and Frank
Eight years after joining the Tanrian Marshals, Twyla Banneker has carved out a respectable career and a bustling home life for her family. Frank Ellis, long her confidant and best friend, stands by as she navigates a world where danger lingers just beyond the ordinary. When they uncover a glitter-adorned body near a dragon-sized footprint, their professional instincts—and their shared history—pull them back into action. The case evolves into a vivid, humor-dusted romance that deepens trust and complicates heartache in the best possible way. Dragons, clues, and a lightness of touch fuse with authentic emotion to deliver a charming, satisfying love story that stays with you.
