Restraining order / by Ca$h,author.(CARDINAL)559981; University of Newcastle.Centre of Full Employment and Equity,author.;
"CHOPPA is the man. A young rich thuggish hustler who has the city on lock. All he needs is the right woman to come home to. But life has taught him that women are a pleasure. They are not to be loved and they definitely can't be trusted-until he meets her. JULZ has already been hurt and damn near broken by a man. Falling in love again is not on her list of things to do. She's just trying to repair her life in a different city and care for her son. Damn a man - until she meets him. Immediately she is attracted to Choppa's rugged sex appeal and his cocky manner. Not only does he make her wet, he treats her like a queen. But everything that glitters ain't gold. In the middle of a passion that is as hot and as dangerous as an inferno, Julz discovers some things about Choppa that frightens her. But will he let her walk away? Or will he put her in the same chokehold he has on the drug game? To get away it may take much more than a RESTRAINING ORDER."--Back cover.

Restraining order 2 : a tragic love / by Ca$h.(CARDINAL)559981; University of Newcastle.Centre of Full Employment and Equity.;
When CHOPPA's jealousy boils over, JULZ finds herself in the middle of the cold, dark woods, staring down at a grave he has dug for her. With a loaded gun in his hand, he threatens to kill her, himself or them both. If Julz is able to escape this frightening nightmare, will she realize that continuing to love her psychotic boyfriend might cost her, her life? It's been said that love conquers all but the deep rooted problems that haunted Choppa made it much too dangerous for Julz to hold on to that hope. In the past, her heart beat strongly for him and her body craved his touch entirely too much that a RESTRAINING ORDER hadn't been able to keep them apart. So, what will happen? Will they finally find the happiness they seek with each other? Or will their story turn out to be A TRAGIC LOVE?

Notes on a killing : love, lies, and murder in a small New Hampshire town / by Flynn, Kevin(Journalist)(CARDINAL)592434; Lavoie, Rebecca.(CARDINAL)592128;
Weaver and fiber artist Edith "Pen" Meyer knew her friend Sandy Merritt's relationship with a married man was wrong. She had even urged Sandy to take out a restraining order against Kenneth Carpenter. Which was why her call to Sandy on February 23, 2005, seemed to come from out of the blue. During it, she told Sandy to drop the restraining order and get back together with Ken. Pen was never seen again. One man stood to gain from Pen's disappearance: Ken Carpenter. But evidence was bleak: no blood, no DNA, no body--until detectives found notes hidden beneath a leather chair that turned out to be a playbook for murder.--Publisher description.
