Steven Henry Synopses: Black Velvet is book 1 of Steven Henry’s Erin O’Reilly Mysteries series. Erin O’Reilly learned a lot from her partner: stay sharp, trust your instincts, and once you’ve got your teeth in something, never let go.
Working nights with the NYPD is brutal—the crime rate is high, the hours are long, and a personal life is nearly impossible. But when she and her K-9 partner, Rolf, finally switch to the day shift, things start looking up. She even finds time for a new romance.
Then a daring art heist at the Queens Museum turns deadly, leaving a fellow officer murdered. Thrown into a case involving ruthless criminals, shady art dealers, and uncooperative detectives, Erin and Rolf must hunt down the killers—unraveling a mystery that may lead all the way back to a crime committed 75 years ago.
Fathers is a standalone novel by Steven Henry. Joe Davidson has learned not to believe in miracles. A hardworking woodworker, he’s determined to build a better future despite a past marked by loss—his father lost to alcohol, his mother to cancer—leaving him and his siblings to navigate broken marriages, growing pains, and old wounds that never quite healed.
Then, a chance encounter at a local diner introduces him to Mary Elizabeth Reynolds. The connection is instant, and for the first time, Joe dares to dream of something more. The woodworker and the girl from a trailer park fall deeply in love, creating a world where, for a fleeting moment, everything feels right.
But Joe soon faces an unimaginable challenge—Mary Elizabeth is pregnant, and the child isn’t his. Caught between love and heartbreak, betrayal and hope, he must strip life down to its barest truth and discover that, even in the midst of pain, love might just be the greatest miracle of all.
In Ember of Dreams by Steven Henry, in the peaceful kingdom of Clarion, the fates of three individuals become entwined by elven magic—both a gift and a curse to humanity. Kristyn Tremayne, the young daughter of a noblewoman, is wary of her enigmatic stepfather, Luthor, and his mesmerizing sorcery. But when a brutal attack shatters her world, she discovers the terrifying depths of his power. That same night, Gabriel Zane, a blacksmith tormented by dreams of perfection, forges the Ember of Dreams—a sword that grants invincibility at a devastating cost.
Torn from her home, Kristyn embarks on a perilous journey into the elves’ ancestral lands, seeking to redeem Luthor. Alongside her travels Robert Blackford, a harp-maker’s apprentice with ambitions far greater than his station. Together with an unlikely band of allies, they must decide whether to stand by their kingdom or forge an uneasy alliance with their sworn enemies to stop a looming darkness. As winter’s grip tightens, Kristyn discovers strength she never knew she had, Gabriel faces the harrowing consequences of his creation, and Robert finally understands what it means to be a hero.
