“July first, the most dangerous day of the year.”

Growing up in LA, tough as nails ER doc Lydia Fiore thought she’d seen everything. When she arrives in Pittsburgh, eager for her first shift as a newly fledged attending physician, she realizes how wrong she is.

During her first days at work, Lydia finds herself embroiled in the murder of a gay-rights activist, targeted by a right-wing militia, stalked by an unknown assailant, and racing to stop a plot to ignite a race riot.

At first Lydia yearns for the mean streets of L.A, but, with the help of her new colleagues and hunky paramedic Trey Garrison, she overcomes her doubts and embraces her new life at Angels of Mercy’s ER.

Written by a physician who has worked in some of the country’s busiest ER’s, CJ Lyons’ medical suspense series gives readers a taste of life on the edge, reminding them that everyone needs a hero, even doctors and nurses working to save lives.

Keeping secrets can be murder.

The national bestseller LIFELINES was “a breathtakingly fast-paced medical thriller” (Publishers Weekly). Now CJ Lyons returns to the front lines of the ER and the lives and loves of four very special women…

Angels of Mercy ER charge nurse Nora Halloran has been living with a painful secret for two long years. But when a coworker is brutally assaulted and killed, she knows she can no longer remain silent.

Determined to unmask the murderer, Nora teams up with her friends— Lydia , an ER attending doctor with a secret of her own; Gina, the once-cocky resident struggling to strike a balance between her family and her job; and Amanda, a med student caught between her career and her conscience.

As the victim count grows, Nora must face her deepest fears and reveal all her secrets to save the man she loves and stop a monster.

CJ Lyons’ novels give readers “a powerful and dramatic look into the frenzied world of emergency medicine…Lyons’ characters are dynamic and genuine.  Readers need only shut their eyes to imagine this group on the big screen.”   ~Suspense Magazine
