They have a number of books, but clearly are quite a small outfit. There is one red flag - an "author consulting" link that suggests authors could hire them to help with their writing.

If anyone has had experience with them, I'd be curious to hear it.

They have a page called Wholesale And Bulk Orders, which instructs people to email them rather than their distributor. This implies that they don't have proper distribution: another red flag. I'd not submit to them.

The person who handles wholesale enquiries is one Cathy Teets; and on Headline's Author Interviews/Speaking Engagements page you'll find information about Robert Teets, one of Headline's authors. Which suggests that Headline is a self-publishing operation now taking on other writers. I wonder what its sales figures are like?

Just to clarify, I think this is clearly very different from Headline Books in the UK, which is an imprint of Hodder Headline and a respected UK publisher who publishes the likes of Jonathan Kellerman and Martina Cole.
